- TRTR STORI'.

On q certain day in 1858, a young man
whose noticeable points were fashionable
coat, panialoons with wide checks, aud
large watch chain at the end of which dan
gled a seal, walked into Il large hardware
store in Boston, and asked for employ
ment. Mr.. Peter Butler, one of the pro-
prietors, inquired if he had ever worked at
business. lie had not. What had he
been doing? Studying law at Cambridge.
Where did he belong? His friends lived in
-Niaryland.
The firm were not in need of help, and
the services of the applicant were civilly
declined. On the following day he adj
dressed IA note to Mr.. Butler, saying that
he feared he had not made himself fully
understood, and would call again on the
morrow TO explain further. At the second
interview he said he had graduated ut
Harvard University, and commenced
reading law; that he had become acquaint-
ed with young lady in Cambridge whom
he intended to marry; that his father had
written to him, forbiddng him to wed
Northern girl, on penalty OF utter disin-
heritance and banishment from home. lie
intended, however, to keep faith with his
betrOthed and as he must paddle his own
canoe in future, he was looking for en-
ployment. Mr.. Butler engaged him at
Si00 year, and gave him certain duties to
perform.
Next morning the young man. whose
name, we may as W0ll say, was JOnn Pacl,
walked in from Cambridge, with his din
ner packed in tin pail, and went stoutly
to work. lie kept steady at this for n year,
doing all he was told TO do, aud more
besides; for his comrades, of whom there
were more than sixty, finding him able
aud willing, sent him at all the mental
tasks of the establishment, until the pro-
prietors discovered and stopped the i'm
position.
At the end Of the year Johns salary was
increased 500, and he named an early
day for his wedding. When that day
came, Mr. Butler gave him Il new suit of
clothes (hc presents everybody he takes n
liking to with tip-top suit once in
whilo), and holiday. Mr.. and Mrs. John
Paca went to live with the brides father
and mother, and John continued TO walk
In TO his business, tin pail in hand.
Among all the merchants aud tradesmen
who rode in from Old Cambridge to the
banks and counting-ro0ms of Boston,
there was not one whose heart was lighter
or happier than John Paca-a clerk at $500
year. lie was always on hand when the
warehouse was opened, aud stuck by until
II was closed. During the second year of
his services he received a letter from his
sisters, who were at school In BROOKLYN,
asking him to get leave to make them a
short visit, He did so, and returned TO his

or tell you of the efforts made to catch the
.-adroit thief. He was no peddler, but a clerk
in that very law Office from which the let
ter was sent telling us of the diamonds. He
managed to delay the letter to my father
for post or two; hastened away himself
and obtained my pin.
We never found him; we never heard of
him. lie must have gone off somewhere
over the sea with his prize. My poor, toll
ing father, always gentle, did not reproach
moj but even TO this day the regret lies
heavily on my mind for what might not
have dono for him and the dear children
with all my money!
And the lady who had given me the pin
did not know until she was dying the val
ne it was of, and that caused the stir. All
me! II was one Of those chances in life that
perhaps we all miss on occasion; the "tide

made up. But time soothes troubles. And
Vi must say that It made charming gown !;

The idea of a r,an's "intcrviewing him

L. A. Carpenter, son of Rev. Mark Gar
penter, is making farm out of raw prai-
rie in Clear Falls, Iowa, without house
keeper. So he makes pets of bisdumb an
imals. One of his horses, "Dan," will
dance on his hind feet for his oats, though
he weighs 1900 pounds. He tells the fol-
lowing story of his pigs: "Imagine ten or
eleven pigs in yard, and one hen. The
leanest pig will stand In one corner sound
asleep, excepting his legs, which are braced
for a spring, and his eyes wide open. Then
the rest of the pigs 'deploy as skirmishers'
in semiclrcle around the hen, drive hor
close to the sleeping pig, which makes a
bound and catches her by the neck, sewers
Il from the body. and eats 1t while the vul-
gar crowd are fighting over the carcass"
Fred continues: "Old Nero the father
hog, weight 400 lbs, has his little game.
After he has eaten all the corn he wants, he
will sneak up to little pig and cut him
with his tusks. Pig squeals terribly. IL
come to the rescue, Moro drops his head,
and will stand Ave minutes perfectly still,
as If in deep meditation, unless l split
board on his head then you ought TO see
that little mountain of pork vanish out Of
sight"
Darwin will have 10 look out for the hon
ors of his ancestry, the monkeys. A care
ful study of hogology may leave the bab-
Don race quite In the shade. Com.

Pause no, to dream Of the future before US;
Pause not To weep the wild that come DER u.s.
Hark how Creations deep, musical chorus,
Underwriting, goes up into heaven!
Never the ocean wave fal,ots In flowing;
Never the little seed stops In It's growing;
Moro and moro richly the rose heart tdeps glowing,
TIL from Its nodrishing stem Il is riycn.
Labor is worshipi" the robin is tinping;
Labor is worshipl' the wild bee is ringing;
Listen! that eloquent whisper, upringng,
Speaks to thy soul from out natures great heart.
From the dark cloud flows the lfe-giving shower;
From the rough sod blows the soft breathing fiowor
From the small insect the rich coral bower
Only man, in the plan, shrinks from HIS part.
Labor is Iifei It's the still water faicth;
Keep the watch wonnd or the dark rust assaileth:
Flowers droop and die in the stiffness Of noon.
Labor is glory the flying cloud ightens;
Only the waving wing changes and brgbtens,
Idle hearts only the dark future frishtens,
Play the sweet keys wouldst thou kc p them in tune.
Labor is rcst-from the sorrows that greet us;
Rest from all petty yexa;ions that meet us;
Rest from sin-promptings that ever entreat us;
Rest from the world-aircns that lure us to ILL.,
Work-and pure slumhors win wait on thy pillow:
Work, ,-tliou shalt rice DER cares coming lillow:
Lie not down 'nca h Woes weeping willow;
Work with stout heart and resoute will.
Lntor is health! Lo, the husbandman rcaring,
How through his veLs goes the life-currcnt eapng,
How his strong arm in its stalwart pride sweeping,
True n sunbeam the swift sickle guides.
Labor is wealth,-in the sea the pearl groweth;
Rich the queens robe from the cocoon fowcth;
From the fine acorn the strong forest bowcth
Temple and statue the marble block hides
Droop not. though shame sin, aud anguish are round
thee!
Rravoy fling of the cold chain that hail bound thee
Look to the pure heaven smiling beyond thee!
Rest not content in thy darkness,-a cod;
Work for some good, be It ever slowly;
Cherish some flower, be 1t ever so lowly;
Labor! all labor is noble aud holy;
Let thy great decd be thy prayer to thy God!
