A GENTLE BOY.

BE very gentle with her nv eon." said
Mrs. B.. As she tied on her little girls bonnet.
and sent her out to play with her eldest
brother.
They had not been out very long hefore q
cry was heard. and presently J. came in. and
threw down his hat. saving. Il hate PLAYING
with girls: there's no fun with them. They
cry IN minute.
! What have you been doing to your SIS

"Srntl.. Boys can't he gentle. mother:

And vet. j.. few wears hence Won would
be very angry if any one we're 10 say .cu
we're not gentleman"
"A gentleman. | had never thought Of
dividing the word that wav before. Being
gentle always seem. to me like being weak
aud womanlsh.'
; This is SO far from being tae case. NV son,
that you will ALWAYS find the brAvc.t men are
the most gentle. The spirit Of rhivalry. that
you so much admire. was spirit OF the no.
blest courage aud the utmost gcntlrness CON-
bined. Still. dare saw, YOU would rather
be called manly boy than gentle boy"
YES. indeed, mother"
"Wcll. then. my son. It is my great wish
that you should endes,or TO unite the two.
Show yourself manly when ynu are exposed
to danger. or See others in peril; he manly
when called on to speak th- truth. though the
speaking OF it NAV hr,ss reproarh upon YOU

At ,h- same time be gentle. whether YOU are

A STORY FOR BOYS.

A few davs since. in one OF our Fox K,ver
towns. . party of bows were coasting. and -
one after another they darted down the
smooth white course. and ran esilv hark.
drawing their slels to the top O. the hill for
fresh start. the laugh and the cheer that rose
so pleasantly. won even from busy men and
aged men. smiling glance. at So ne which
called back 10 each his own bovhot,d But q
las. one oi those lads will not recall that Al
tornoon's sport again. and another will never
look back upon that winter holiday without
shmiier. The story is a sad one. During
their snort, the sled OF one Of the bows ran a
gainst that OF a pay-fel.ow's. doing some
slight injury. X was provoking-it msh:.
perhaps have been avoi'led-but how does i;
compare withthe terrible result that followed ?
the second sreEe is. two angry bows with
ewes flashing and fists rlinshed. fighting and
the next, one OF them is l.in. upon the snow
which is scarcely paler than his cheek. or the
frightened countenances of those who tend
over him. A blow had struck vital part.
The he picss sufferer is borne home to die.
and the next dav the neighbors gather u
round in sympathy as the grave closes over
him. His playmate had killed him. Anger
came suddenly upon their peaceful sport. aud
this was the terrible consequence. And nov
bows picture, il you can. the agony Of him
whose hand has taken the lite Of a school frl-
low. What would Lc not give 10 recall that
blow and vet. he can no more do 80, than he
can call back to lie the cold remains Of the
active little schOoin,ate who. but week ago.
