WELL BRUsHED.-A Saratoga cor
respondent speaks Of a young man at one
of the hotels there who never felt so
much like an aristocrat as when being
brushed. He had obtained twenty FIVE
dollars worth Of new quarters at the
sub-treasury, and every time he was
brushed he handed one Of these forth
from his waistooat pocket. He was
brushed everywhere. The walters watch
ed him, lay in wait for him, quarroled
with each other for possession of him.
They never brushed him anywhere but
in the small of the back and on the knees
of his pantaloons. The result was that
in three days those portions Ofhis attire
were threadbare. Nearly all his stamps
were gone. He gave notice at the Office
of his departure for home. He had just
money enough left to pay his expenses,
and be was brushed 20 the last; brush
ed into the stage. The walters found
that in the aggregate they had received
,25 for brushing that unfortunate
young man.

WHIsTLIHG.-Eezt to laughing, whist
ling is one OF the most philosophical
things in which a fellow of good spirits

prescription for keeping up the courage;

Some genial philosopher has we'll said
on this subject, that whistling is a great
institution. It oils the wheels Of care.
supplies the place of sunshine. A man
who whistles has a good heart under his
shirt front. Such q man not only works
more willingly, but works more constant
". A whistIing cobbler will earn as
much money again as cordwainor who
gives way to low spirits and indigestion.
Mean or avaricious men never whistle
The man who attacks whistling throws n
stone at the head of hilarity, and would,
if he could, rob June Of Its rosos-Au-
gust of its meadow larks.

4 MEXICAN ST0RY.-An cztraordi-
nary story comes from Mexico relative
to -four, It appears that an old miller
in that locality had very beautiful
young wife, Of whom no was jealous in
the extreme, and took out his S0UlGge-
ment of that in thvacking the lovely
young being. There was 4 certain cook,
Of the male species, handsome and fat,
who came to the mill from tho hotel to
buy -four, and hearing tho distress of
the lovely one first, and seeing her sec
ond, became, O. course, dr0adfullJ in
love. Some one told the miller. All
the town began 10 talk Of the fact, and
to laugh at the fourJ ono. One day
the cook and lovely young wife sudden
" disappeared, and merrily laughed the
Moxicans at the miller's misfortune
nothing went down but the scandal of
the elopemcnt Of the milleI's wife and
the cook. The miller scOwled venge-
fully upon all the town, aud so time
passed by. Nothing more was heard Of
the cook and the millor's wife by any
one. Two years after the miller was
pleased to die, and to inform the world
in a paper which was left 70 bo opened
after his death, and to be published in
the town, that the cook and his (the
wife had'by his planning oloped
into an oven two years since, and been
baked; that he would have got rid of
them elsewise but for the jeering of the
public; therefore he had ground them
up in a large mass Of corn, which the
townspeoplc were pleased to compliment
him for being exceeding rich and nu-
and he only hopes they will en-
JOY the rcminiscence as he hid the re-
of his life that he was spared,
whenever he looked upon a towusman.

BABY ON THE PORCH

OUT on the porch, by the open door,
Sweet with roses and cool with shade.
Baby Is creeping over the floor
Dear little WinBUme blue-eyed maidi
All about her the shadows dance,
All above her the roses swing,
Sunbeams in the lattice glance,
Robins up IN the branches sing.
Up at the blossoms her fingers reach,
Llsping her pleading In broken words,
Cooling away in her tender speech,
Songs like the tWitteT Of nesting birds
Creeping, creeping. over the floor,
Soon my birdie will hnd her wings,
FlutteTing out at the open door,
Into the wonderful world Of things.

The Courageous Boy.

During long ride from Boston to
a city in Maine, | busted myself in
reading the Memoirs of an eloquent
and gifted clergyman-the Rev. Hen
ry Bacon. He was for twenty years
the editor of literary and religious
magazine in Boston, and for more
than twenty years minister of the
Gospel, patiently, earnestly, and sue
cessfully laboring to win souls to
Christ.
The long winter ride was rendered
delightful as one in midsummer by
my quiet enjoyment Of that beautiful
memoir-beautiful because portraying
lovely and symmetrical character.
One anecdote concerning Mr.. Ba-
con especially interested me, and |
felt a desire to tell it to all the chill
dren who have signed the Pledge
throughout our land. [ will tell it in
the words of the biography.
"The great temperance reform had
not yet commenced, and that portion
of Boston where he resided probably
needed its redeeming influence more
than any other part of the city. He
saw the tempting cordial displayed
on every occasion, even when his
playmates met for little social par
ty; and he knew it was the same poi
son that stole the peace from families
around him, and marred the beauty
of many q noble form that his eyes
once loved to look upon. He had no
courage to tell how his soul hated the
tempter, but the good work was begun
where true reform always commences
in the heart of the individual. Alone
with his God, he made solemn vow
that no intoxicating drink should ever
pass his lips; and he kept it.
He had many trials to encounter
for conscience sake, but he always
came off conqueror. Once a merry
rough, old sailor, a favorite with hin
and is playmates, had just returned
from sea, had encountered his young
friends in the neighborhood of ban
room, true to his nature, he immedia
tely invited them to drink.
"Now, Henry" said one of hii
friends, "you'll have to drink, Or he'll
be angry" you'll see," was thC
only reply. When his turn came, an(
the sailor passed the glass to him, HI
looked straight into his eyes, and said
"Excuse me, sir, | have made a solemn
VOW never o touch intoxicating
drink" The sailor Immediately laiC
down the glass and raising his hand
while the tears streamed down hi
rough cheeks, exclaimed, "Bless you
my good boy? Would to God coul'
keep such a VOW. How many a heart
ache it would have saved my poor oil

My dear hearers, there are some

us who is better informed, know that

The Grave by the Lake.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

THE grave of an Indian propounds to the pc
is mind an inquiry as to the destiny of thos
o whom there was no revelation of the truth
40, the generations old,
Over whom no church bells tolled,
Christless, lifting up blind eyes
To the silence of the skies
For the innumerable dead
Is my soul dIsquieted.
"Where be now those silent hosts?
Where the camping ground of ghosts
Where the spectral conscripts led
To the white tents of the dead?
What strange shore or chartless sea
Holds the awful mystery?
"Then the warm sky stopped to make
Double sunset in the lake;
While above saw with it,
Range on range, the mountains lit;
And the calm and splendor stole
Like an answer to my soul.
"Hear'st thou, o of little faith,
What to thee the mountain saith,
What is whispered by the trees p
Cast on God thy care for these;
Trust him if thy sight be dim:
Doubt for these is doubt of him.
blind must be their close shut eyes
Where like night the sunshine lies,
Fiery linked the self forged chain,
Binding ever sin to pain,
Strong their prison house of will
But without He waiteth still.
"Not with hatred's under tow,
Doth the Love Eternal flow,
Every chain that spirits wear
And the penitent's desire
Opens every gate of fire.
"Still Thy love, Christ arisen,
Yearns to reach these souls in prison
Through all depths of sin and loss
Drops the plummet OF Thy cross!
Never yet abyss was found
Deeper than that cross could sound
Therefore we'll may Nature keep
Equal faith with all who sleep,
Set her watch of hills around
Christian grave and heather mound,
And to cairn and kirkyard send
Summers fiowery dividend"
