The First Silver Dollar

Some years ago, in a quiet New Eng.
land village, as a pleasant curly-headed
boy of about ten summers was crossing a
pasture on his way to his days work, he
saw something bright upon the grass; and
what should it be but silver dollar. He
did not run home to tell the glad news,
nor away to shop to spend it in cakes
and candy, as many little boys would have
done but went on and performed his days
work, like man. At night his mother
saw him coming home with smile upon
his face; she met him at the door, think
ing he had some good news, when he op-
ened his hand and behold "silver dollar.
"Now, mother y, said be, "if you will
give me the bag, l will go and buy you
some meal: and before he entered the
house to take any refreshment, he went
away and paid his dollar for bushel Of
meal. You might well expect the bless
ing of God on such son. 1t has attend
ed him, and / think it ever will. He has
carried out the same principle of kindnes:
and benevoIence thus far through life.

Drinking among Young Men.

The Philadelphia Sun says truly that
indiscriminate drinking among our young
men eventually makes itS~mark upon the
population of our cities. We can see it
already b5traying itself in the rising
generation. 1t is impossible for any man
to drink even pure liquors six or seven
times day without suffering severely In
constitution. And when he transmits this
impaired constitution to his son, who in
turn impairs it still further by the same
course, it requires little foresight TO see
that we are preparing population for
our cities that will not, in physical frame,
be much better than the wretched Aztecs.
This loye Of drink and bar-rooms is every
day increasing. Every day sees our youth
becoming more and more the victims of
this habit; for we really think ii more of
habit than a passion. 1t is no love of
| joyility that tempts them, except in few
cases. 1t is not the hot exuberance of the
youth; it is not the eyanescent impulse of
| the gay young fellow who is sowing his
wild oats. II is, as has been said, a cold i,
deliberate, confirmed habit. No atmos-
phere of recklessness surrounds the
drinking groups, except on occasion; and
no peals of lnerriment atone for the act
bv proving that it is at least unusual A
grim and melancholy air pervades each
countenance. The drinks are poured out,
the glasses are raised and touched with a
loathsome air of custom, and each man
swallows his portion with the same i'm
passive countenance he would wear if he
were drinking glass of plain water
All the concomitants that partially redeem
or excuse drinking, as far as it be redeem
or excused, are wanting in this sad and
formal ceremony.

Historical Facts Worth Preserving.

The Saxons first introduced archery in
the time of the Voltgeur 1t was dropped
Immediately after the Conquest, but re.
vived by the Crusaders, they have felt the
effects of it from the Parthans. Bows
and arrows as weapons of war, were in
use with stone cannon balls, as late as
1910. /. is singular that all statutes for
the encouragement Of archery, were
framed after the invention of gunpowder
and fire arms, Yew trees were encour-
aged in the churchyards for making of
bows in l742. Hence their generality in
churchyardS at the present time.
Coats of arms came in vogue in the
reign of Richard l. of England, and be-
came hereditary in families in the year
1892. They took their rise from the
knights painting their banners with DIFF
ferent figures, to distinguish them in the
Crusades.
The standing army of modern times
was established by Charles VII. of France,
in l455. Previous to that time the king
had depended on his mobiles for contin-
gents in the time of war. A standing
army was first established in England, in
1888, by Charles l. but it was decided
illegal, as we'll as the organization of
Royal Guards, in 1879. The first per-
manent military band instituted in Eng
land, was the yeomen of the Guards, es-
tabished in 1886.
Guns were invented by Swartz, Ger
man, about the year 1878 and were
brought into use by the Venetians, in
1882. Cannons were invented at al
anterior date. They were first used a
the battle of Cressy, in l445. In Eng,
land they were first used at the seige o.
Burwick, in l405. it was not until 1914
however, that they were cast in England
They were used on board of ships by thr
Venetians, 1885; and were used among
the Turks about the same time. Al
artillery company was instituted in Eng
land for weekly exercise, in 1910.

Beautiful AnecdOte.

A happier illustration of the wonderful
character of the Bible, and the facility
with which even a child may answer by it
the greatest Of questions, and solve the
sublimest of mysteries. was perhaps never
given than at the examination of a deaf
and dumb institution some years ago in
London.
A little boy was asked in writing "who
made the world?" He took the chalk and
wrote underneath the question, "In the
beginning God created the heavens and
the earth" The ciergymen then inquired
in similar manner, "Why did Jesus
Christ come into the world?" A smile of
delight and gratitude rested on the coun-
.tenance of the little fellow as he wrote /;
This is faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation, that, Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners"
A third was then proposed, evidently
adapted to call the most powerful feelings
into exercises
"Why were you horn deaf and dumb,
when can hear and speak?"
Never" said an eyewitness, "shall
forget the resignation which sat upor
his countenanee, as ne took the chalk and
wrote: Even so. Father, for so it seemed
good IN Thy sight''
