work on Il house erecting but a little
way from my printing oflice, who
always appeared to be in amerry humor,
who had Il kind word and cheerful smile
for every one he met. Let the day be
ever so cold, gloomy, and sunless, happy
smiles danced like sunbeams on his
cheerful countenance. Meeting him one
morning, | asked him TO tell me the
secret of his constant happy flow of
spirits"
80 No secret, DOCTOR he replied. Il

when 60 to work shealways hasa kind
word of encouragement for ne; and
when | go home meets me with Il smile
or & kiss and then tea is sure to be
ready, and she has done so many little
things through the day to please me that
cannot find it in my heart to speak an
unkind word to anybody
What an influence, then, woman
hath over the heart Of man, to soften
and make ii the foundation of cheerful
and pure emotions! Speak gently, then!
Greeting, after the tolls OF the day are
over, costs nothing and goes far toward
making home happy and peaceful

Young reader, it may be we'll to emu
late the untiring energy and perse-
verance of the two boys whose names
figure in the above crude and unpublished
sketch. Rememberthat however humble
y.ur position in life, you may, by in
dustry, perseverance and honesty, rise
to fame and distinction. No matter If
your coat is patched and threadbare,
and the naughty proud pass you by
with seorn; yours is noble end to
attain; your laurels will be the brighter
when won fight nobly the battle of
life; meet it's storms brawely; rely on
no one, but "padde your own canoe"
and success will crown your efforts !;
and when life draws to close you can
lay down it's burdens in the full con-
seriousness of having performed well
your part in the great drama.

the far West, inquiring if he knew of a
young man capable of taking charge of
a newspaper establishment, saying that
to such an one a fine opportunity was
offered in the city iii which he resided.
He communicated the contents of the
letter to Eddie, who accepted the propo-
sition, and arrangements were immedi-
ately made for his departure. In three
days he was to bid adieu, and start for
his Western home, to launch his canoe
on the ocean of life; and we'll calculated
he was to "paddle it" himself. He was
young and inexperienced, but the kind
ly admonitions of a dying mother, ever
fingered in his ear, proof against all
temptation, and besides, he had ga
heart for any fate"
The morning Of his departure came.
Minnie, now blooming girl of sixteen,
stood leaning on his arm at the wharf,
waiting for the boat that WAS to bear
him away to a far away new home and
new scenes. Pearly tears stood on her
fair cheeks like deW-drops on the blush
ing rose. Eddie would soon bid her
adieu! Would he ever again return :?
Would he, when mingiing in other
scenes, forget the Minnie OF his younger
days? No, he would not; it was doing
him injustice to harbor for one moment
such a thought.
Such were the thoughts of her mind,
as they stood together, watching the
slow approach of the steamer that was
to bear away for years--perhaps forever
the only being on earth her heart held
dear.
The boat landed. His baggage was
put on board. And now the farewells
must be whispered. Mr.. and Mrs.
Markland came forward, and with
many wishes for his prosperity, bid him
adieu. He embraced Minnie tenderly
cheeks, stepped on board the waiting
steamer, which was soon ploughing the
deep blue waters towards its destination.
Six years have flown since Eddie bid
adieu to friends and started out to try
his fortune in the great West. The vii
layers of NJ, are all astir. The
residence of Mr.. MARYLAND is brilliantly
Illuminated, and the parlors are filled
with guests. Everybody is on tiptoe.
There is to be Il wedding, and the beau
tiful Minnie Light is to wear the bridal
robe. The name of the bridegroom is
Edward Moreland-better known to the
TpaueF DIS little ILuOlc, tilc orphan
newsboy. He had been successful in his
western home, and acquired distinction
and wealth. He now came to make
her, to whom he owed everything in
life, his bride, and bear her away to his
home, as the sharer of its comforts and
joys. The gentleman who officiated as
groomsman is George Kirkland, the
widows son-once himself little news
hoy, but now a talented member of the
legal profession gentleman respected
and beloved by all who knew him.
