Rwad not Die in Winter.

Ore fields of ice and snow,

Oh! who could think of dying,
Or even getting sick!
1 wudQot dye in spring-time,
And miss the turn-up greens,
And the pooty song Of the little frawgs,
And the sllilark's early screams.
When biyls begin their wooing,

When the turk sys go gobbling,
Il wud knot then'peg out.

When ererthing's so hot,
And leave the whislie jewlips:

With peaches fit for eating,
When way lsorn is getting ripe,

A Keen Reply.

Legal bullies who ask women i'm
pertinent questions in the witness-box
ought to get their deserts, as did tie
solicitor. general in the celebrated Itch.
borne case IN England. The witness
was a governess who had formerly been
employed in the Tichborne family.
Governesscs in England are generally
regarded as beings who are made to be
snubbed and insulted. So the solicitor
general snubbed and insulted this one,
while she was testifying to the identity
of the claimant to the Tichborne es
tate with the young heir us she knew
him twenty years before. At last sic
had a chance at him which she did rot
hesitate to improve. "Was the young
man always polite to ladies?" asked
the solicitor-geueral. "He was, indeed,
polite toward ladies'" replied the gov
ernerness; and with well-understood
emphasis she added, gentlemen, l be-
lieve, always are So" The courtroom
burst into loud laugh, and the solic-
itor.general turned red in the face.

A Story Of General Thomas.

Among the stories told of the late
General Thomas, is one Of an incident
which occurred when he and his chief
of staff, General Garfield, we're inspect
ing the fortifications of Chattanooga
in 1864. They heard shout, Hello,
Mister / want TO speak to you" and
General Thomas found that he was the
person addressed, by an uncouth, back
woods, East Tennesseean. He stopped,
and the dialogue which ensued was as
follows:
Mister, | want to get furlough." "
"On what grounds do you want a
furlough, my mani"
81 want to go home and see my
wife"
How long since you saw your wife?''
ever since | enlisted, nigh On to
three months"
"rhree months!' good naturedly
exclaimed General Thomas. "Why,
my good man, / havn't seen my wife
for three years.
The East Tenesseesn stopped whit
tling for moment, and stared incred-
ulously; at length he said; "Well,
you see, me and my wife amt that
kind"
Even General Thomas grimness
was not proof against the laughter
which he rode away to conceal, leaving
the astonished soldier without an an.
swer. We give it al told by Gen.
Garfield.

Finge : Marks.

A short time since, gentleman en-
ployed mason tu do some work for
him, and, among other things, to
"thln whiten" the walls of one of his
chambers The thin whitening is al
most colorless until dried. The gen,
tleman was much surprised on the next
morning after the chamber was fin
ished, To find on the drawer of the
bureau standing in his room, white I'm
ger marks. Opening the drawer be
found the same on the articles in it,,
aud on pocketbook. An examina-
ton revealed the same marks on the
contents of bag. This proved clear.
ly that the mason, with his wet hands,
had openel the drawer and searched
the bag which contained no money,
aud then closed the drawer without
once thinking that any one would
know 1t. The "thin whitening" which
happened to be on his hand, did not
show at first, and probably he had no
idea that twelve hours drying would
reveal his wickedness. Beware of evil
thoughts and deeds They will leave
their finger marks which will one day
be revealed. They may he almost. il
not quite invisible at first. But even il
they should not be seen during any OF
your days on earth, yet there is day
coming in which all sins will be made
manifest.

Do Not Give Up.

A gentleman travelling in the north
ern part of Ireland heard the voices
of children, and paused to listen. Find
lug the sounds proceeding from a
small building used as a school house,
he drew near and, as the door was
open, he entered, and listened to the
words the boys were spelling. One
little fellow stood apart sad and dis
pirited.
"Why does that boy stand there?''
asked the gentleman.
"Oh, he's good for nothing" replied
the teacher. "There's nothing in him.
| can make nothing of him. He is the
most stupid boy in the school
The gentleman was surprised at
this answer. He saw that the teacher
was so stern and rough that the young
er and more timid boys were nearly
crushed. He said few kind words to
hi", ana then placing his hand on the
noble br,w of the little fellow who
stood apart, he said "One Of these
days YOU may be fine scholar. Do
not give up; bDt try, my boy. try?'
The soul of the boy reused. His
dormant intellect awoke. A new
purpose was formed. From that mo.
Inent he became studious aud ambitious
to excel Aud he did become fine
scholar and the author Of well known
commentary on the bible---a great
aud g"od man, beloved and honored
1t was Dr. Adam Clark.
The secret Of his success is worth
