WHO ARE THE BEST BoYs?-A man
once advertised for a boy to assist in
the work of the shop and to 60 errands,
etc. A few hours after the mornings
papers announced that such boy was
wanted, his shop was thronged with
applicants for the situation. Boys Of
every grade from the neatly dressed, in
telligent youth, down to the ill-bred,
clumsy boor, came either in hope of a
situation or to see if an opportunity Of
fered for speculation.
The man, at a loss to decide among so
many, determind to dismiss them all
and adopt plan which he thought
might lessen the number and aid him
in the difficult decision.
On the morning following an adver-
tisement appeared in the papers, to this
effect: "Wanted to assist in shop, a
boy aCho 'o6eys his mother" Now, my
little friends, how many boys, think
you, came to inquire for the situation af-
ter this advertisement appeared? If I
am rightly informed, among all the
lads of the great city, who were wan
ting the means of earning living or
getting a knowledge of business, there
were but taoo who could fearlessly come
toward and say, 81 obey my mother" !"

A MEXICAN SToRY.-An extraorit.
nary story comes from Mexico relative
to flour. 1t appears that an old miller
in that locality had very beautiful
young wife, of whom he was jealous i'm
the extreme, and took out his souIage-
naent of that feeling in thwacking the
lovely young being. There wasa certain
cook, of the male species, young, hand
some and fat, who came from the mill to
the hotel to buy -four and hearing the
distress Ofthe lovely one first and seeing
her second, become of course, dreadful
ly in love. Some one told the miller.
All the town began to talk of the fact,
and to laugh at the foury one. One
day the cook and the lovely young wife
disappeared, and merrily laughed the
Mexicans at the miller's misfortune
nothing went down but the scandal of
the elopement of the miller's wife and
the cook. The miller scowled venge-
fully upon all the town, and so time
passed by; nothing more was heard of
the cook and the miller's wife by any
one. Two years after the miller was
pleased to die, and to inform the world
in paper which was left to be opened
after his death and to be published in
the town, that the cook and his 1.-THE
miller's) wife had, by his planning,
eloped into an oven two years since,
and been baked; that he would have
got rid of them otherwise, but for the
jeering of the public; therefore he had
ground them up in a large mass of corn,
which the townspeople were pleased
to compliment him for, as being ex-
ceedingly rich and nutritious, and he
only hoped that they would enjoy the
reminiscence as much as he did the
remainder of his life that he was spared
whenever he lookedupon townsman.

ONE day as Pope was engaged in
translating the Iliad he came to pas
sage which he nor his assistant could
not interpret. A stranger, who stood
by, in his humble garb, very modestly
suggested that he had some little ac-
quaintance with the Greek, perhaps he
could assist them. Try it said Pope,
with the air of a boy who is teaching a
monkey to eat red pepper. There is an
error in the print said the stranger
looking at the text. Read as if there
was no interrogation point at the end
of the line, and you have the meaning
at once. Pope's assistant improved up
on this hint, and rendered the passage
without difficulty. Pope was chagrin-
ed; he could not endure to besurpassed in
anything. Turning to the stranger. he
said in a sarcastic tone, Will you please
to tell what an interrogation is? Why
sir, said the stranger scanning, the i'll
shaped poet, it is "a little crooked, con-
temptible thing that asks questions!"

DARK HoURs.-To every man there
are many, many dark hours when he
feels inclined to abandon the best en-
terprise; hours when his hearts dearest
hopes appear delusive hours when he
feels himself unequal to the burden,
when all his aspirations seem worthless.
Let no one think that he alone has dark
hours. They are the common lot of
humanity. They are the touch-stone
to try whether we are current coin or
not.
