A HEROIC LITTLE BOY.

We have seldom read more affecting
story than that of little newsboy, which
we End chronicled in late number OF the
Rochester IN. W Express. The little fell
low. whose name is Johnny Mitchell. while
plvinp his trade at the railroad depot, acci-
dentally slipped from the platform while
train Of cars was passing, and one OF his
legs was so badly crushed that amputation
was necessary tO save his life. A cores
pondent of the Express, who was an eye
witness, thus describes the scene aud de-
meanor of the darling little sufferer, after
the accident. Surely God has tempered the
wind TO that poor shOrn lamb by giving him
a hero's heart and martyrs fortitude
"When, inst after the accident, an old
man picked the child up from the track, he
seeing bis leg dangling loosely, and feeling
severe pain, kept crying out; oh grand
pa, grandpa, please cut off my leg-cnt 1t
off quick. then it wont pain me so.' They
carried little Johnny home to his poor wild
owed mother. The surgeons came, the
shattered limb was removed and the stump
all bandaged up. He asked TO see the dis
severed member, aud when it was shown to
him he shnddered, and then inquired how
long II would he before the new leg would
grow out. Some days after, when the doc
tor was dressing the stump. be called to his
mother to come aud look at 1t, to see II
there was not some sign of the new leg
comng-could she not see the point of the
toe growing down?
In addition to this atfliction, poor johnny
is the victim of another bodily injury, for,
when very little fellow, be stuck sharp
knife into one of his ewes so that its con-
tents ran out, and It became totally blind.
1t looked shockingly for long while, but
it now appears much like the other, which
is a sdarking, beautiful eye. Johnny is a
lovely looking child, and as the writer has
seen him since the recent accident, be APP
pears so cheerful aud smiling, aud his
countenance is so animated and intelligent,
that it is delightful to see and hear him.
A day or two ago, when bis mother seem.
ed despondent because she feared Johnny
would never be able to earn anything, he
spoke up brightly and cheerily: Never
mind, mothcr--dOn't cry III make some
money, anyhow. When get my new leg
and my crutch, I'll run around with the
papers, and cry out Here's the Evening
Express, only two oentsp and he gave just
the peculiar intonation used by the news
paper runners.
Think Of it my readers this little fellow
is only five years old, and he lies fat upon
his back in bed, with one of his legs am
putated aud one of his eyes forever dark,
aud yet his little active mind is busy devils
ing schemes of usefulness by which he may
be able to aid bis widowed mother. Is he
not u hero 7"

MANNERs.--Emerson In bis eccentric way
has an odd thing on manners" in a recent
number Of the Atlantic:
wish cities would teach their beet les
sons of quiet manners. IL is the foible es-
pecially of American youth-pretenslon
The mark Of the man of the world Is the alb
sence of pretension. lie does not make
speech; he takes low business tone, avoids
all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promi-
ses not at all, performs much. lie calls his
employment by its lowest name, and so
takes from evil tongues their sharpest wea-
pom. His conversation cllngs to the weather
and the news yet he allows himself to be
surprised into thought. and the unlocking
of his learning and philosophy. How the
Imagination is piqued by anecdotes of some
great men passing incognito, of king in
gray clothesl of Napoleon affecting plain
suit at his glittering levee!-of Burns, of
Scott, of Beethoven, of Wellington or any
container of transcendent power. passing
for nobody-of Epamnondas. ''who never
says anything bnt will listen eternallyl"-of
Goethe, who preferred trfing subjects and
common expressions in intercourse with
strangers worse rather than better clothes,
and to appear little more caprci0us than
he was! There are advantages in the old
hat and box-coat / have heard that
throughout this country a certain respect is
paid to good broad cloth; hut dress makes
little restraint; men will not commit them
selves. But the box-coat is like wine--it
unlocks the tongue, aud men say what they
think.
