The Astonished nedd1er--A True story.

The Astonished Nfedd1er--A True Story.
What, says Quilp, is more intolerable
than an eficious intermeddler with
other peoples affairs2 One of the most
busy of the tribes was travelling in the
cars not long ago, and exercising his
talent in a manner once amusing and
mischievous. "Hallol" cries Mr.. Med
dler, to a decrepit old gentleman, just
as the train was leaving way-statioff.
"Wake up, and step lively! This is the
place where you want to get out" The
1 old man had barely time to put his tot
terlng legs on the platform of the depot,
when the train was again in motion
[aGoo -graciousl' exclaimed Mr.. Med
dler, on returning to his seat which was
next to the one which the old gentleman
had occupied-"Good gracious! the old
fellow has gone and left his carpet bag!
So he kindly threw it out Of the window.
Half an hour later, young man came
in from another car and inquired for a
missing carpet bag. ut was on this
seat" said the stranger, pointing to the
spot where the old gentleman had been
, sitting. "Good gracious" again cried
Mr.. Meddler, "why, I thought that car
! pet bag belonged to the old fellow who
got out while ago, and so threw It
; i out of the window after him, cause l
'sposed he'd forgot itI'' "The deuce
, you didp' said the stranger, with scowl,
'and how came the old man to leave the
train?" "Why," said Mr.. Meddler, 1t
thought I heard him say he was going
> to Middleport, so when we came to the
: depot, I told him he, was there, and had
. . better get out. That's how it was.
= "You had better have minded your OWL

. sharply. "That old gentleman was go,

T,TsT OF THE KILLED.

Mothers who sit in dumb wonder and dread
Holding that terrible list
Fearing to look lest you see mid the deao
The name of the boy you have kissed
Kissed cen as those who in anguish ana paln'
Kiss precious faces of clay,
Fen as you would had you shudderingly la1n'
That dear one in grave robes away
1 pity you, sitting with faces so white
Striving to parry the blow;
7 know how that name will torture your sight
Can fathom the depth of your woe.
Bv the pang that rent my desolate heart
By the crushing weight of despair,
know how YOU, too will shudder and start
At reading that loved name there.
I know you'll hush that passionate cry,
Thinking of him as he lies,
With beautiful face upturned to the sky,
Death yelling the glorious eyes.
aFighting he felll' Does feeling OF prlde
Tighten your griefs as you think
How brave was the boy that went from you
side;
| How ba would not falter or shrink?
The mothers love triumphs. Men call Wome
weak
All, well, perhaps it is so!
know there are tears cen now on my chee
For the boy that is lying so low.
r lnov that I start at each step on the stal
With wistful glance turn toward the 200
Thinking, perchance, that my darling is ther
Peace, heart; he can come nevermore.
But still there's thought that softens my "o
Above there's glorifed list.
And one day I'll hear with rapturous gio'
The name of the boy have kissed.

Resist Beginnings.

The trees of the forest held solemn
parliament, wherein they consulted OF
the innumerable wrongs the axe had
done them; therefore they enacted that
no tree should hereafter lend the ak for
handle 'on pain of being cut down. =
The ak travels up and down the forest,
begs wood of the cedar, oak, ash, elm,
even to the poplar, not one would LEND
him chip. At last he desires SO much
as would save him to cut down the
briars and bushes, alleging shat these
shrubs did suck aw,y the juice OF the
ground, hindered the growth and op-
scure the growth of the fair and godiy
trees. Herein they were content TO az
ford him SO much. When he had got
ten his handle, he cut themselves down
! too. These be the subtle reaches of
: sin, give it but little advantage on the
f fair promise to remove thy troubles,
v and it will cut down thy soul also.
Therefore resist beginnings; trust 1t
: not in the least. Consider thy falling
! into sin hurling thyself down from
# some high pinnacle. Wilt thou say,
r may break my neck a little! Wilt thou
d say may burn my soul and Body lit
u tie! And suffering, we think the least
|. misery too great, SO SHINING ietus thinS
d THE least iniquity too great.

Controlling the inclination.

tt is hard to control the working OF
ipclinatio n, and turn the bent of nature;
but that it may be done, know from
experience. God has given us, IN
measure, the power to make our own
fate; and when our.energies seem to de-
mand sustance they cannot get, when
our will strains after a path we may not
follow, we need neither starve from in
annition, nor stand still in despair. We
have but to seek another nourlshment
for the mind as strong as the forbidden
food it longed to taste, aud perhaps
purer, and to hew out for the adventu-
rous foot road as direct as the one
Fortune has blocked up against us, II
,rougher than Charlotte Bronte.

From the Chicogo Tribune-1

IS Let US suppose passenger ship at
sea overtaken by storm; that part OF
the crew has fed in the boats; that the
vessel has sprung leak; that the rig
ging is damaged, the remaining crew
too weak for the emergency, breakers
in the neighborhood, and the danger OF
#shipwreck imminent; that the passen-
gers are called upon for help, and that
some of those in the cabins, sustained
by a portion of the officers, should in
sist on keeping the steerage passengers
away from the pumps, buckets and =
eing, aud from helping to save the ship,
or going into any part reserved to cabin
passengers-suppose such state ,of
things possible, would it be tolerated by
those anxious to save the vessel and its
precious living freight. Would not the
stlcklers for caste in such dreadful
emergency be kicked aside, put in irons,
or thrown overboard2 Would not the
steerage passengers be granted the free
dom of the ship, and would not their
aid be earnestly solicited? Would not
gratitude for the help they rendered in
Sure better treatment during the re-
mainder of the voyage2
Our noble Ship of State is in just
such storm as we have described
; Some of the officers, weak minded, be-
wildered with fear, blinded with preju-
,, dice, probably disloyal, join with some
of the passengers, as mean and infatu-
ated as themselves, in driving willing
: : hands away from the pumps, because
forsooth, it is an established rule tha!
steerage passengers shall not be allowed
: the freedom Of the ship!-as If the
safety of the vessel and all on boare
! are to be sacrificed to regulation
! : which was never intended to be carried
u out in time of danger. Have we no
: had quite enough of this folly? Is j
> not high time to kick these fools asld
or overheard, and call to our help tn
, willing steerage passengers?
