The Little Worm Peddler.

No trade is less honorable for be-
ing odd. A good many boys we
know would hardly have the courage
to be angle worm merchants; but so
long as there is nothing better to do,
it is as good way as as any to turn
an honest penny.
A gentleman who had been visit
ing the White Mountains, on his
way down saw a little boy get on the
stage with a box filed with earth.
"What have you got there, my lit
tie boy?"
''Worms."
"Worms! What are you going to
do with them?"
"Sell them; two for a cent The
fishermen can't get them in the low
er part of the mountains, and so 1
go up the valley here and dig them.
and bring them down and sell them.
"But how do you pay for such a
long stage rider"
81 don't pay; / shine-I shines
his boots" pointing to the driver.
$50 you have an occupation be-
sides peddling wormsP
'Yes, that is the way get my liy-
ing. have fifteen dollars already
laid up, and it's only the beginning
of the season"
"You're a smart boy" said the
man; "but is this all you are ever
going TO do?"
mo, indeed. l go to shooI over
in Vermont during the winter-pay
two dollars a week for board"
$50 you have no home Them

mo father?"
eNo."
'No; nobody. 1 make my own
way, and one of these days | am 60
ing to college"
eyes, to one of the best in the
country"
Any boy with such a spirit can
get an education. He is not asham-
ed of poverty, nor is he afraid to
work. Some boys would be too
proud to sell worms for a living.
They would rather starve or steal.

| lot of other little girls. Then some
body shook me and l wakened. /
was mother that wakened me, anC
she was crying and looked like as
ghost, and trembling as if robbers
had got into the house to kill us
Then she kneeled down and prayed
THAT you might come home, and told
me how good and kind you used to
be to her when 1 was a baby; and
"But the secret Minnie, the Sc
cret."
"And she told me how you come
home tipsy when I'm in bed, and
then scold her and break things
"NeYer mind that. Tell me the
Secret again interrupted her father.
"And she hoped our dear Saviour
would forgive her because she
couldn't help it; and she said wasn't
to tell you.'
"Tell me what?"
"zhat she aoould rather see vou
dead than tipSy, father, because IL
makes her hate yow aoken she tries so
nara to lore yOll, and make as happy."
Mr.. Lawton covered his face with
his hands, and remained silent near.
ly a minute. Then he stopped down
and whispered, 'Thank you for your
secret, Minnie. Twill try to remem-
Der it, only don't tell mother that
you have told me-"
Seeing that her father was yery
much distressed, Minnie readily pro-
missed that she would not.
"Surely it must have been the
good God who promT ted me to call
my darling to me-" he exclaimed.
when his daughter had gone back to
her mother, "and with the help of
Him who alone can save sinners, you
shall see your foolish wicked father
tipsy no more"
Shortly afterwards he entered his
wiEe's presence; but the events ofthe
previous day were in no way alluded
to.
Nearly twelve months had passed
away since the night on which Mr..
Lawton had stayed out so late, when
his good wife, with a heart full of
gratitude and gladness, ventured to
tell him how happy she felt now that
he didn't seem to care for liquors or
public-house company.
NAY, dear Polly, you must thank
our angel Minnie for the change"
he said smiling. "She told me
her secret and confessed my folly.
From that day forward 1 resolved
that you should have no more cause
to hate me, Polly, and the longer Il
live the frmer am 1 convinced that a
working man cannot support the
public house without robbing the
private house."
Mrs. Lawton smiled too a smile
that spoke more eloquently of inward
joy than words could have done.
How true it is, that a loving,
thoughtful child may sometimes ac-
complish more than grown up men
or women!-Minnie got her sweets,
and they are not done yet.-Brttish

WE HOPE.
BY WILL NJ. CARLETON.

With the sunlight, with the moonlight, witt
the starlight sweet and golden.
Come to us thousand memories that are true
and sweet and olden;
And we enter in the chambers of our hearts Sc
gladly lighted.
And with blooming hopes we cover all the joys
that care hath blghted;
And encouraged and rejoicing, we go forth up
on our way.
With the midnight, with the storm-cloud, with
the darkness iercely scowling.
With the rafting of the rain-drops, and the
teInpest's dreary bowling,
rhro' our weary hearts, in darkness, we &c
hating, stumbling, cropping,
While despair is hard upon us, and cen covers
up our hoping;
And in sadnes and in silence for gleam of
light we pray.
Then we yearn and call for comfort; but no
comfort comes unto us;
And we wrap ourselves in sadness, and despair
goes thrilling through US;
And the darkness gathers round us, with its
horrors half unspoken,
And we pray again for succor, that the dreary
spell be broken
With the light of something shining, be it
only but one ray.
Then within our hearts blossom from the
dreary mold is springing,
Then the birds of hope make music with their
sweet and cheerful singing;
Then, upon the great clouds gazing, we discern
their silver lining,
Until through the veil of darkness bursts the
sunbeams glorious shining,
nd our lOnOinp evas ara cTraatad with fIo
bright and perfect day.-Chicago Tribune.

The French have a story that Sir
Walter Scott once offered his youn-
gest daughter her choice between a
dowry of 100000 francs or "Quentin
Durward." She asked to read the MS.
took it surreptitiously to a publisher
found that he would give her 10, 900
francs, and dutifully and meekly told
her father that she would rather
have the MS. than the money. Sir
Walter was deeply touched Oy this
marked offillial devotion. The Paris
journal which tells the story says
that a French girl would never have
done such a thing as that. She
would simply have taken the 100000
francs, and-she would have found
some way to have gotten the romance
also.
