NY Wife Saved it for Me.

One hot July afternoon, when the air
scorched the lungs as !, was breathed in, and
no business was stirring to keep the
brain from going to sleep, lay and dozed
quietly and shadily in my room which over
looked the street: Presently there came vol
ces. Two men appeared to be in confab on
my doorstep. The windows were wide open
but the shutters were closed, and their voices
came up to me with great clearness, SO that
had no choice bat to hear The tenor of
their conversation was curious. One, it
seemed, had found life CHEEKY and pleasant,
and Fortunes wheel had revolved with a
touch Of his finger, turning all to gold. The
other was at the foot Of the hill, and gray
headed, as | afterwards discovered. Both
men we're past the middle age. Both we're
to all appearance hearty and Of long lived
stock. Each had gone his way through life,
and chance meeting had led them to sit
down on my doorstep to cool off in the shade
and they fell into an earnest talk. Evident
ly schoolmates once, of latter years they had
seen little of each other. 1t was favorable
opportunity, that of my doorstep, to compare
notes.

Got ONE cried Bill Staples eagerly;
why didn't YOU tell OF it before? Where
is it?'
Down at the shop" answered the BARRIERS
son.
"And it does tell what is coming to pass,
does u" asked the third boy.
"Yes it does
but how do YOU know" asked the third
boy; "you haven't lived long enough TO
know if it has tcld Your fortune right"
Why, you see It's very old book said
the BARRIERS son. "My grandfather had il.
and it told hi, fortune: and then my father
had it, aad it told has; and it all came to
pass
1T beats all" cried Bill "what prize
Why don't you go round telling fortunes p
You'd make lots of money
"l'm afraid nobody would believe me, said
he, humbly.
"Well, shoe it to us" said they.
"Come down to tie shop tonight" said
he, "come just after We shut up; that's the
best time to read it."
"Sell it to me-" cried Bill; show Will you
trade now?'
Cant part with mine," answered the bar
bers son "but YOU can get one where mine
came FROM"
"l'll have one as certain as my name is
Bill Staples but we'll come and try our luck

agreed" said they all.
The two boys were before time, and hung
round the shop antil every customer had
gone and the shutters were put up; then III

be seated, and drew little table out, and
placed lamp on it. Then he went to the
back part of the shop. and opening little
trunk, for, as you may well think, such a
book was kept carefully took it out, and
laid it on the table, the boys narrowly eyeine
him all the time. There" he said. in very
sober tone, when he laid the book on the ta
BILE, 'rhere, boys, is my fortune-teuing book
What it says is sure" The two boys scram
bled to the table.
"7he BiJle," they exclaimed at once, fall

"Yes," said the BARRIERS son, "that is m,

just ways for you and for me to try ou
chances by in this world. One is called tn,

THE MOTHER MOULDs THE MAN.-That
it is the mother who moulds the man is a
sentiment beautifully illustrated by the fol-
lowing recorded observation of shrewd
writer:
When l lived among the Choctaw Indians,
held consultation with one of their prin-
cipal men, in regard to the progress in the
arts ofcivilized life and among other things
he informed me that Mt The start they fell in
to a great mistake-they only sent boys to
school. These boys ca ne home intelligent
men. but they married uneducated and un-
civilized wives; and the uniform result was
the children were all like their mothers. The
father soon lost all interest in wife and chill
dren; "and now," said he, IF We would edu
cate but one class of our children, we would
choose the girls, for when they become moth
ers they educate their sons
This is the point, and it is true. No ma
ton can become fully enlightened when tn,
mothers are not in good degree qualified t,
discharge the duties of the home work of
education.

Love in Absence.

BY BARRY cornwall.
Oh my dear peerless wife
BY the blue sky and all its crowding stars
love you better-oh! far better than
Woman was ever loved. There's not an hour
OF day or dreaming night but am with thee;
There's not wind but whispers Of thy name.
And not flower that sleeps beneath the moon,
But in its hues Or fragrance tells a tale
Of thee. my love, to my :ond anxious heart.
