A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

Rev. DR.. Adams, in his beautiful boo
Of Thanksgiving Memories" gives the
following Incident:
'In the Cathedral of Limeric there
haAgs chime of bells. which were cast
In Italy by an enthusiast in his trade. who
fixed his homo near the monastery whore
they were first hung, that he might dailv
enjoy their sweet and solemn music In
some political revolution the bells were
taken away to some distant land, and
Their making himself became a refugee and
exile. His wanderings brought him af-
ter many years, to Ireland. On calm
and beautiful evening, as the vessel which
pore him f1oated ON the placid bosom Of
the Shannon, suddenly the evening
chimes pealed from the cathedral towers.
His practiced ear caught the sweet sound,
and he knew that his lost treasures were
found. His early home, his lost friends,
his beloved native land, all the best as
sociations Of his life were in those sounds.
he laid hlnself back In the boat, crossed
his arms upon his breast and listened to
the music. The boat reached the wharf,
but still he lay there, silent and motion
less. They spoke to him, but he did not
answer. The went to him, but his spirit
had fled. The tide of memories that
came vibrating through his ear at that
well known chime had snapped its
strings"
1t was this incident that suggested to
Moore his song of "The Evening Bells"
As Moore is not 50 much read as he used
TO be quarter Of a century ago, we re.
print the lines, as they may not be ia
miliar to some of our young readers:
Those evening bells Those evening bells!
How many tale their music tells,
Ofy0uth and home, and that sweet time
Whom last heard their soothing chime
Those joyous hours have passed
And many heart that then was gay,
Within the tomb now darkly dwells,
And hears ore those evening bells
Ard thus't shall be when am gone,
That tuneful peal shall still ring on,
And other bards shall walk these dells;
And sing thy praise, sweet evening bells!

what is the matter, little leaf?"
"The wind" said the leaf, Gust told
me that ore day it would pull me off and
throw me on the ground to die"
The twig told it to the branch, and the
branch told it to the tree.
And when the tree heard it, it rustled
all over and sent word back to the leaf
"Do not be afraid hold on tightly and
you shall not go off till you want to-"
And so the leaf stopped signing, and
went on singing and rustling. And so it
grew all summer long till October. And
when the bright days Of autumn came the
leaf saw all the leaves around becoming
very beautiful. Some were yellow, and
some were striped with colors. Then it
asked the tree what it meant. And the
tree said.
"All these leaves are getting ready to
fly away, and they have put on these col
ors because of their joy"
Then the little leaf began to want to go,
and grew very beautiful in thinking of it.
And when it was gay in colors, it saw
that the branches of the tree had no COL
ors in them, and so the leaf said.
"Oh, branch why are you lead-colored
and we golden ?"
eve must keep on our work-clothee, F"
said the tree, "for our work is not yet
done; but our clothes are for holiday,
because your task is over"
Just then little puff of wind came, and
the leaf let go without thinking OF it, and
the wind took it up and turned it over,
and let it fall gently down under the
fence, among hundreds of leaves, and it
never walked up to tell us what it dream
ed about.-Ihe Ctildren's Hour.

Don't BE TOO SENSITIVE. Here is a
short article we find floating around on
the unknown sea of journalism that many
men should paste in their hats and ladies
on their bonnetS, if room can be found on
" the little duck Of a thing" These peo-
pie, liable to quick emotions with sense
but not reason, showing their nature in
their countenance, and often marring re-
pose and FRIENDSHIP by unwarranted sus-
picion, are found in all our cities. Let
them read and profit by this
"Ihere are some people, yes. many peo-
pie, always looking out for Sights. They
cannot carry on The daily intercourse of
the family without some offence Is deslg-
mated. They are as touchy as hair trig =
gers. 1t they meet an acquaintance on
the street who happens to be preoccupied
with business, they attribute his abstrac-
ton In some mode personal to themselves,
and take umbrage accordingly. They lay
on others the fact of their irritability. A
fit of indigestion makes them see imperti
nence in every one they come in contact
with. Innocent persons, who never
dreamed of giving ofense, are astonished
to find some unfortunate word or momen-
tary taciturnity mistaken for an insult.
To say the least, the habit is unfortunate.
Il is tar wiser 70 take the more charitabl
view Of our fellow beings, and not sup

life takes its hues IN a great degree from

Yet the idea of denoting the Deity by a

perhaps less remarkable than the fact
that the word man, used to designate hu.

Ill. In all their investigations the Commit

On the contrary, one abundant and unbrokcn
