A PREcoCIoUs BoY--Passing along the lc-
wee, one day. we noticed two small boys, per-
haps about ten years old, sitting by the wa
ter's edge, one Of them apparently In deep
mental diStreSs--the tears rolling down his
cheeks-whilo the other was induIging in im-
moderate laughter.
We inquired Of the heart-stricken one why
he wcpt lie replied:
This boy has got my dime; and he won't
give it up"
al haven't got his dime, neither" said the
merry boy.
"Ycs he has, too" asserted the other; "he
told me lic lie said if Id pay him a dime
he'd teach me to catch fish just as fast as [
could pull EN- cut and here I've been fish,
ing these two hours, and nary fish yet, and
now he's got to give up my money, so he
hast"
"IIe! he! he!" rctorted the precocious
one; do you see anything green about me
did say you could ketch em as fast as you.
could pull 'em out; but, somehow, you edn't
pull 'cm out! That's not my fault, though !;
it's fair bargain--the dimes mine, and YOU
can't get it, no way!"
We rather thought that the merry boy,
though perhaps not blessed with much inhe-
rent goodness Of heart, could "paSs" in this
terribly wicked world Of ours.

JUPITER AND THE SnEEP--A FABLE.-The
sheep was doomed to suffer much from all the
animals. She came to Jupiter, and prayed
him to tighten her misery. Jupiter appeared
willing, and said to the sheep " I see, indeed,
my good creature, l have made thee too de-
fenccless. Now choose in what way l may
remedy this defect. Shall furnish thy mouth
with terrible teeth, and thy feet with claws ?"
"Ah, mol" said the sheep, ~ do not wish
to have anything in common with the beasts
Of prey"
"Or," continued Jupiter, "shall infuse
poison into your spittle?
ALAS !" replied the sheep, poisonous SER
pcntS are so hated"
"What, then. shall do? will plant horns
on thy forehead, and give strength to thy
neck"
mot so, kind father. I might be disposed
to butt, like the goat.
"And yet" said Jupiter, "thou must thy.
self be able to injure Others, if others are 10
beware Of injuring thee"
Must !" sighed the sheep. "Oh, then,
kind father, let me be as am, for the ability
to injurc, fcar. will excite the desire; and it
is better to suffer wrong than to do wrong. l
pray thee let me be as am."
Jupiter blessed the good sheep, and from
that time forth she forgot to complain.

REv. E. II. CnAPIN, in the following passage
from his discourse entitled the Blessings Of
the Mcrcful," teaches needed lesson:
"Mercy, moreover, is something that goes
forth not merely to humanity, but also to tho
poor animal which tolls for us. Men have
transformed into universal maxim the saying
that "the mcrciiul man Is merciful to his
beast" So he is He is mcrciful to the poor
dumb creature that cannot complain. How
much unmercifuncss is there, even in your
sport, in that which you call mere pleasure
in the delight to exercise, to the utmost ten
sion, the speed of your horse The cruelty
may be unconscious on your part, but how
much cruelty is there!
And while would have no morbid senti-
ment in this matter, still let US beware, even
here. how We wantonly abuse or sacrifice AMI
nal life in any respect. Life is sacred every
where. 1t is a mystery, whether throbbing in
the insect, beating in the pulses Of the sparrow

your feet. dare not wantonly take such u
life which cannot give, and / cannot give
anything Of that kind to the creature that IL

safety is not compromised, and if my need
does not demand it, have no right TO take
away even the coarscSt animals life; and
say that the pleasure which comes from that
kind Of cruelty Is the lowest and baSeSt Of
pleasurcS-it is tindish pleasure.
