"Little Dam Brook"

A clergyman seeing little boy playing
in a small stream by the road side, in
quired for his father. He's over the
little dam brook" said the lad "What"
said the reverend gentleman, shocked at
the boys profanity: "Can,t you speak
without swearing?" dwell he is over to
the little dam brook anyhow" persisted
the boy, as he went spattering through
the water and mud after butterfly,
" He has been over to the little dam
brook all day; and if you don't believe it,
you can go up to that house and ask moth
er.
The clergyman sought an interview
with the mother Immediately, and COM
planned of the profanity Of her child.
After telling her, however, of what the
lad said, she laughingly told him, that
little dam brook was a title by which the
stream was called to distinguish it from
big dam brook, situated few miles to
the eastward. He now felt that he had
wronged the boy, and he therefore owed
him an apology. Hurrying back to the
spot, he exclaimed: boy, l wronged
you in accusing you of swearing; but
you should have told me that little dam
brook was only the name of.a stream and
then | would not have scolded you"
"Well, 'taimt no difference said the
happy youngster, as he held aloft strug-
Cling frog that he had speared with his
mothers clothes stick. "There is big
dam on big dam brook, and &tle dam
on little dam brook, and we should have
little dam on this brook, only Tspect
it is so small it aint acorth dum."

How TO be Polite.

Do not try too hard to be polite.
Never overwhelm your friends by
begging them to make themselves at
home or they will soon wish they
were there. Show by your actions
rather than YOUR words that you are
glad to see them. =
Have enough regard for yourself
to treat your greatest enemy with
quiet pOliteness. All petty Sights
are merely meanesses and hurt your
selfmore than any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or YOUR
family TO the exclusion of other to-
pics. What if you are clever and a
! little more so than other people. it
may be that other folks will not
think so, whatever they ought to do.
1t may be interesting to you to
talk over your ailments, but very
tiresome for others to listen'tO.
Make people think you consider
them clever and agreeable, and they
will be pretty apt to have a pleas
ant impression of yourself.
Treat people just as you would
/ like to have them treat you.
1t is much easier to lose the good
/ opinion.Cf people than 10 regain it,
and when any one does not care for
the good opinion of others he or she
| is not worthy of respect.
Do not excuse your house, furni-
ture, or the table you set before your
guest. 1t is fair to suppose their
visits are to you, not your surround
/ ings.
The whole machinery of social in
| tercouse is very delicate and intri-
cate, and it is our business to keen
all places of possible friction well
supplied with oil of politeness.

4 Touching StorY.


In the cemetery at Nashville,
Tenn. a stranger was seen planting
a flower over a soldiers grave
When asked:
"Was your son buried there? 2"
NO." was the answer.
"Your son-in-law ~
mo"
"a brother ~
"No."
"a relative ?,
'sNo."
After a moments pause the stran-
ger laid down a small board which
he held in his had, and said:
"Well, will tell you. When the
war broke out was n farmer in IL
linois. L wanted to enlist, but 1
was poor. had q wife and seven
children. l was drafted. / had no
money to hire a substitute, so /
made up my mind that | must leave
my poor, siekly wife and little chill
dren, and go and fight the enemy.-
After L had got all ready to go a
young man whom | knew came to
me and said: You have big fami-
ly which your wife cannot take care
of. will go for yoy.' He did 90
in my place, and in the battle of
Chickamauga he was wounded
and taken to the Nashville hospital.
But after a long sickness he died,
and was buried here, and ever since
have wished to come to Nashville
and see his grave; so l saved up all
the spare money could, and yester-
day came on, and to-day l found
my friends grave.
With tears of gratitude running
down his cheeks, he took up the
small board and pressed it down in
to the ground in the place offs tomb
stone, Under the soldiers name
were written only these words
ale died for me-

strike I'm one spot.

In farming, as In all other practi-
cal operations, it will be found that
those who have got along smoothly,
accumulated property and gained a
good name, have been men who
bent themselves to one single branch
of business-whO brought all their
powers to bear upon one point, and
built on one foundation. 1t must
be so. Go out in the Spring when
the sun is yet far distant, and YOU
can scarcely feel the influence of its
beams scattered as they are over the
wide face of the creation; but COL
lect them to a focus, and they kin
die up flame in an instant. So the
maS-that sqanders his talents and
his strength in many things will fail
to make an impression with any:
but let him draw them to a point
let him strike at single object-let
him concentrate all his power, and
everything will yield before him.

The perfume Of the orange bios
SONS had died away, the giimmer of
the pearls and satin were hidden in
velvet caskers and travelling trunks,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Acre, old married
people of full a months duration,
were driven along a country road,
i'm the amber of glorious June sun
set.
"Halloo! which way is Thomas
goingg" said Philip, leaning from
The window, as the carriage turned
out of the main road.
Il told him the direction TO take"
said Edith, with bright, sparkling
ewes. "Let me have my own way,
for once. We are going to our new
home"
''Are we?'' said Phil. with conf
cal grimace. 1t is To be love in
cottage, suppose?"
''Wait until you see, sir" said
Mrs. Acre, pursing her little rose
bud of a mouth; and Philip waited
patiently.
"Where are we?,, he asked, in as
touishment, when the carriage drew
up in front Of a stately pillared pOr-
ticO, which seemed not TO be unfa-
milliar TO him. ''Surely, this must
be Mortimer Place %
"Shouldn't be surprised If 10 was"
said DIR. Wyllis, emerging from the
doorway. "Walk in, my boy; come,
Edith. Well, how do you like your
new homer"
"Our new home," repeated Phil
ip, 81 do not understand you, sir"
"Why, l mean your little wife
yonder is the sole surviving relative
of Thomas Mortimer, although she
never knew il until this morning.
Her mother was old Mortimer's cou-
sin, and some absurd quarrel had
caused total cessation Of inter-
course between the two branches
of the family. was aware of the
facts all along; but wasn't sorry TO
avail myself of the opportunity to
see what kind of stuff you were
made of, Phil. Acre. And now, as
the deed of conveyance isn't made
out yet, l don't suppose your law
yer ned TO trouble himself about IL.
The heiress won't quarrel with you,
I'll be bound"
Philip Acres cheek flushed, and
then grew pale with strong, hidden
emotion, as he looked at his fair
wife standing beside him. when the
sunset turned her bright hair to
coils Of shining gold, and thought
how unerringly the hand of Provi-
dence had Strengthened out the tan
gled web of his destiny.
Out of darkness had come light.
