No Boy Wholly Bad.

81 can't be good, and | won't try"
So said boy in our hearing, the other
day. He is an active, bright boy, full Of
fun, and nearly, but not quite, half full
of mischief. He is kind hearted, loves
appreciation, and from the bottom of his
heart would like to deserve to be called
good boy. He is sensitive to the opinion
of others, and when for the fun Of the
thing, or carelessly, he has committed an
error and been reproyed for it, his mind
dwells upon the reproof so much that no
has come TO think that about all he does
worthy of notice is bad. A great mis-
take is this, and likely to lead to bad con-
sequences. No one is in more hopeless
condition than he who has lost confidence
in himself. Now, we happen to know
something Of the heart of that boy. We
have studied his character for months,
and though he has the reputation Of be-
ing bad boy, we know he has many
moro good traits than bad ones, and that,
if he only thought so himself, he has the
ability to be one of the smortcst and best
boys we arc acquainted with. We hopo
he will see this item, and suspect it is in
part intended for him. Perhaps, reader,
you may be in similar state of mind.
Your parents and teachers may be so con-
stantly oppressed with labor and care
that they may not have the time, or dis
creton, to do more than tell you of your
wrong deeds. But don't get discouraged.
We have known and cared for many hun
dreds Of boys and girls, in the Sab
bath School, and elsewhere, and some Of
them were called bad by almost every
body, but We never yet knew one who
had not many more good traits than bad
ones. 1t is so with you, my lad, we know
it is. Remember this, and think more of
your good feelings and impulses, and then
you will cherish these, and they will in
crease and grow. Pray don't fall into, or
remain in that fatal error Of thinking that
you are all bad, and that, therefore, there
is no use of your trying to be good. As
your friend we tell you IL is not so!

A HORSE SToRY.-The Eastern papers
give the following story of the perform
ances Of horse: "On Tuesday night
horse attached to a sleigh took fright at
the locomotive of the Boston and Wor-
cester Railroad, near Boston, and disen-
gaging himself from the sleigh, dashed up
the track ahead of the engine. The train
followed at speed of fifteen miles per
hour, and at every stopping place the
horse was discovered in advance. Cul-
verts were plentiful, but the horse escaped
them all, crossing the bridge over Charles
River, at the junction with the branch,
and passed safely over bridge without a
flooring, half mile or so beyond. The
engineer and other employees on the train,
as soon as they had landed their passcn-
gers, went in pursuit, and found that the
horse, after innumerable escapes, had at
last fallen into culvert at the side of the
road, and was so firmly imbeded that it
was necessary TO procure saws and axes
to relieve him from his confined position.
The horse will probably turn out TO be
more or less injured by his night gallop
over the railroad track. The whole dis
tance Travelled was about five miles, and
the uncovered bridge was l60 feet long.
An examination of the bridge proves that
the horse, in leaping the spans of the
structure, gathered upon every sleeper,
and this, too, in the night time, feat
probably never excelied. The sleepcrs
are about three feet apart

Power of a Word.

Wendell Philips, Esq, in his lecture
last WINTER before the parent Washingto-
nian society, told the following story:
"a mother on the green hills of Yer
mont, stood at her garden gate, holding
by the hand a son sixteen years old, mad
with love of the sea. Edward said
she, they tell me that the great tempta-
tion of the seaman's life is drink. Prom
ise me, before you quit your mothers
hand that you never will drink Said
he, for he told me the story, Il gave her
the promise, | went the broad globe over,
Calcutta, the Mediterranean, San Francis
co, the Cape of Good Hope, and the for
ty years, whenever saw n glass filed
with sparkling liquor, my mothers form
by the garden gate, on tho hillside of
Vermont, rose up before me, and to-day,
at sixty, my lips are innocent of the
taste of liquor Was not that sweet
evidence Of the power of n single word
And yet it was but half; for said he 'yes-
terday there came into my counting-room
man of forty, and asked me, Do you
know mer No. said |. Il was brought
once said he to my informant, drunk
into your presence on shipboard; you were
a passenger; the captain kicked me aside;
you took me into your berth kept me
there till | had slept off the intoxication,
and then you asked me if l had moth

er had heard mothers voice. You told
me of yours at the garden gate, and, to-
day, twenty years later, | am master of
one Of the finest packets in New York,
and | came to ask you to come and see
me-
How far back that little candle throws
its beam; the mothers word on. the green
hillside Of Vermont! God be thanked
for the almighty power of single word.
