"One night I was agoin' to Slapper's

"One night I was agoin' to Slapper's
shades to have drink. Burch was with
me and in quiet sort of street We come
up to Ben, in mighty hurry.
"I'd have knocked him on the head but
Burch stopped me-"
"See what he's up to- says he. And
we followed. He went down to your place
and went in. He left the door ajar, and
We made the best of it. He was coming
out, with book or something in his hand,
and we met him. He was plucky, tell
you. One Of us wouldn't have got of SO
easy but we went two to one. We gag
ged him, and made clean sweep of the
place that night"
"And Benny Gsd. did Ben think
we would not believe him ?" cried Mr..
Grinby. He had but to come to us-to
tell the truth. Where Is he? DO you
know Speak !"
The robber was turning the hue oi
ashes. His words came slowly. His eye
glanced over his shoulder and he backed
up against the wall.
We locked him up in the stone vault,
he said, "and took the keys with us. II
you look you'll find him there"
And Mr.. Grinby tainted outright in my
arms.
Well, sir, the robbers words were true
The stone vault was opened that day, and
there no matter. 1t was easier to know
the ring he wore, and the keys and purse
in his pocket, than poor Ben Wade.
The first thing Mr.. Humphries said
was: Thank Heaven, Lucy cannot
know it." And the next he sobbed-'Oh
but the certainty would have been bet
ter for her, after ell And then to know
his name was clear"
And SO that is the story Of the ston'
vault; and strange as it is, it is quit
true. You may see his grave close besid,
Lucy's any day. And Mrs. Mumphrie
she's romantic woman, sir-says sh

Take the open air,
The more you take the better;
Follow natures laws

Let the doctors go
To the Bay OF Biscay;
Let alone the gin,
The brandy and the whiskey.
Freely exercise;
Keep your spirits cheerful
Let no dread of sickness
Make you ever fearful.
Eat the simplest food;
Drink the pure cold water;
Then you will bo well
Or n least you ought to.

HOW To BREATHE.

There is one rule to be observed in
taking exercise by walking-the very
best form in which it Gun be taken by
the able-bodied of all ages--and that
Is, never allow the action of respira-
ton to be carried on through the mouth.
The nasal passages are clearly the me-
bium through which respiration was
aesighed by Our Creator to be carried
God breathed into mans nos-
lis the breath of life" previous to his
Booming living creature. The diff
ference in the exhaustion Of strength
by long walk with the mouth firmly
closed, and respiration carried through
the nostrils instead of through the
mouth, is uncomfortable to those who
have never tried the experiment. And
this mischieyous ADD really nm
natural habit Of carrying on the work
OF inspiration and expiration through
the mouth, instead OF through the M
sal passages, is the true origin of al
most all the diseases of the throat and
lungs, as congestion, asthma, bron-
chitus, and even consumption itself.
That excessive perspiration to which
some individuals are SO liable in their
sleep, which is 80 weakening to the
body, is solely the effect of such per-
sons sleeping with their mouth unclos-
ed. And the same unpleasant and ex-
results are occasioned to the
animal system from walking with the
mouth open, instead of, when not en-
saged in conversation, preserving the
lips IN state of firm but quiet COM
preston. As the action Of the heart
md velocity of the blood through the
ungs depend almost entirely upon the
quantity os the atmospheric air inhaled
With each inspiration, and it is una
that it should be taken in vol
ime, by the mouth, while it can only
,e supplied IN moderate quantities and
ust in sufficient proportion to serve
he purpose of healthy, respirative nc
ion, while supplied through the nos-|
rils, it is clear that the body must bel
much higher and cooler, and also the|
breathing is much freer and easier
when the latter course rather than the
ormer one is adopted. Children ought
never to be allowed 10 stand with their
mouths open for besides the vacant
appearance it gives TO the countenance.
{ is the certain precursor of colds,
coughs and sore thronts.

BOYS, RIGMTs-By a Boy.

Talk about the women and the dark
les and the-the-all the rest of 'eIn;
none of 'em all are half so badly used
as boys are. Ask any boy. know a
lot, and can give you all their names.
Ask 'em all. They'll tell you, to be a
boy is to be somebody without a right
In the world.
You're to take all the sass that's Civ
en- to you, and give none back, cause
you're a boy. You are to pay full fare
In the cars and omnibuses, cause you re
a boy and not child; and never have
a seat, cause you're n boy and not n
man. Fat lady gets in after it's all
full, and looks about her; everybody
looks at you. Old gentleman says.
My son, reproyingly. Conductor
says, .sCome, now, you boy" You've
paid Your sixpence. No matter-that
IS nothing. You've been on y0ur fe5s fe5s
with bundles, all day. Who cares p
you're boy. Now horse has such
Q load given to him as he can carry,
and a man won't take any more than
he can walk under. Ask boys what
grown folks think they can carry.
There's no limit to it. Who doesn't
know a boy who does mans work, and
does it well, for tenth of what man
would get for it? Who hasn't read an
for boy who 'twrites n
good hand, understands accounts, is
willing to make himself useful boards
With his parents; is trustworthy; no
objection to sitting up all night; not
anxious for meals at regular times; no
impudence about him. The best re-
concentrations required, and two dol
lars week wages" /"
Ask boys whether old fellows don't
make as much fuss about such places,
as if they were doing you favor that
would set you upfor life.
Who wants boy anywhere? Your
sisters don't In the parlor. Your fa-
ther don't; he always asks you wheth-
er you're not wanted to do something
somewhere. You make your mothers s
head ache, whenever you come near
her. Old ladies snap you up. Young
ladies eshate boys" Young men tease
you, and give it to you If you tease
back. Other fellows-it's because they
are aggravated 80, I know-always
want to fight, if they don't know you;
and when you get black eye and a
torn jacket, you hear of it at home.
You look back and wonder if you
ever were that pretty little fellow in
petticoats that everybody stuffed with
candy; and you wonder whether you'll
ever be O man, and be liked by the
girls, and treated politely by other fell
lows, and paid for your work, and al
lowed to DO as you choose. And you
make up your mind every day, not to
be a boy any longer than you can help
it; and hear your grandfather or some
body complaining that there 'sare no
boys now, and wonder If he remem-
bers thelife they led, that he don't
|consider.it it subject of rejoicing.
There's only one comfort in it all
boys viii grow up, and when they do
they generally forget all that they
went through In their youth, and make
the Loys Of their days suffer just as
they did.
