HerOism.

"Oh, DEAR" said Willie Grey. as he
sat down on his saw-horse, and looked at
the kindling-wood which he ought to
have been splitting up for his mother.
II do wish I could do something for the
world. Some great action, that every
one could admire, and that would make
the country and the whole world better
and happier. I wish I could be hero
like Washington, or famous missionary
like Judson, but [ can't do anything nor
be anything"
"Why do you want to be hero ~
asked his cousin, John Maynard, who,
coming up just then, happened to oyer
hear his so]iloquy.
"Oh," said Willie, coloring, "eyery
one admires hero, and talks about him,
and praises him after he is dead.'
"That's the idea, is it?" said John.
You want to be heroic for the sake of
being talked about
Willie did not exactly like this way Of
putting it.
"Not only that, but I want to do
good to people-convert the heathen-or
Or save sinking ship, or save the
country, or something like that
"That sounds better, but believe me,
Willie, the greatest heroes have been
men who have thought the least about
themselves and the most about their
work. And so far as | can recollect
now, the greatest tt mean according to
the Christian standard-have always be-
gun by doing the nearest duty, however
small, and here John took up the ak
and began to split the kindling- wood.
Willie jumped off the saw-horse, and
began to pick up the sticks without a
word, but though he said nothing, he
thoug hit the more.
"I've wasted lot of time in thinking
what great things I might do, if 1 onl :
had the chance" he thought, " and I've
neg lected the things I could and ough,
to do, and made lots of trouble for moth.
er. l guess I'd better begin my hero.
ism by fighting my own laziness."
Will any boy adopt Willie's resolu.
tion, and carry it out in his daily life p

Zurich Correspondent of the Boston Advertiser.
The Swiss Women.

There is sad enough need Of the ele-
vation Of women even in Switzerland.
One hundred women climb each day to
the splendid buildings which overlook
the City of Zurich-the first fountain
Of learning in the Republic; thousand
women toll from sunset till late evening
in the narrow lanes below, dragging
heavy hand-carts, staggering under
large burdens balanced upon their heads,
saving wood, or gathering the refuse
from the streets with baskets and shovel
in short, performing the most menial
service that the lowest class Of male la.
borers are condemned to do in America.
l have often seen two slender women
saving oak and ash wood in the street,
while stout fellow stood by leisurely
splitting the sawn sticks: One poor
old creature, the other day, sat upon
the curbstone. holding her saw reversed
between her knees, and in utter weak
ness was rubbing the stick of wood upon
it to; saw it in two.

flames. Her husband was in the yard,
and she ran out He succeeded ia ex-
tinguishing the flames, though in doing

How Briggs Baby was Treated.

Thomas Briggs of Twelfth street, has
a BOY baby about ten months old. who
is admitted at the beginning Of this arti-
Gle to look just like his father, and to
be the smartest boy baby of his age in
Detroit. Yesterday morning the child
was sitting on the floor, playing With
i've or six big coat-buttons on a string,
and taking an occasional nibble at an
apple to bring out his first crop of teeth.
Mrs. Briggs and neighbor were talk
ing away as only women can gossip,
when the baby hid the buttons under a
mat and started to finish the apple. A
bit of skin got in his throat and he
gave a cough and paved the air and
rolled over on his head. "Oh, them
buttons - cried the mother as she yank-
ed him up and shook him. "P Pound
him on the back - yelled the other
woman trying to hold the baby's legs
still. "Run for the neighbors p cried
Mrs: Briggs. "Oh, he'll die !" scream
ed the other, as she ran out. And the
neighbors came in and made him lie on
his stomach and cough, and then turned
him on his back and rubbed his stomach.
and joggled him about all sorts of WAYS,
until he got mad and went to howling.
Then boy ran for Briggs, and Briggs
ran for doctor, and doctor came and
choked the baby, and ordered sweet oil
and mustard plaster, and told them to
hold him on his back. Everybody
knew that those six big buttons were
lodged in the baby's throat, because he
was red in the face, and because he
strang led as he howled and wept. They
poured on sweet oil, and put mustard
across him, and wept over him, and the
mother said she could never forgive her
self: Boys drove by calling out: Slab
wood for sale" and the scissors man
went by shouting: "Sharp! sharpw
but that distressed crowd held the baby
down and shed tears over his whole
length. The doctor Was looking seri-
Gus, and Briggs was thinking that he
hadn't done anything to deserve such a
blow when one of the women pushed
the mat and discovered the buttons.
Then everybody laughed and danced,
and they kicked the sweet oil bottle
under the bed, threw the mustard plas-
ter at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs hug
gsd the bowling angel to her bosom and
called him her "wopsy topsy hopsy
dropsy popsy little cherubim. '-Detroit

FAMILY CIRCLE.
MOTHERS.

"Take this child and nurse it for me;'
Guard it lest IL go astray;
In the path of duty train it,
"And thy wages I will pay"
stake this child and nurse it for me :"
Nor its body feed alone;
For the saint or sinner groweth.
From the seed in childhood sOwn.
''Take this child and nurse it for me;"
See thou ne'er thy trust betray,
For, remember, as thou workest
accordingly will pay.
Take this child and nurse it for me-"
Do not deem it wholly thine,
who lent, again may take it,
If thou question it il mine.
Take this child and nurse it for me:"
Brief perhaps may be its stay;
And when calling to surrender,
thy wages then will pay.

The Peasant And The Rose.

"A peasant at the foot OF the alps
was one day led to accompany an old
friend up the mountain side as far as
they could climb There he lighted on
a beautiful rose, such as he had never
seen before. It was so delicate in color;
and he was surprised to find on examin-
ing it that it had no thorn like the
roses that grew in the gardens below.
"Ah," said he, " this is a prize a
rose without thorn-why, that's what
folks have been wishing for ever so
long. Now, | shall have something none
Of my neighbors will show the like of:
1t is small, but care and culture can do
much for size." To all this his friend
said nothing. With no little labor the
peasant dug up the plant and carried it
carefully home.
That very night he tore up his best
double rose-his wife's favorite flower
out of the bed before the door of their
cottage, and planted this one in its
stead. 1.-The soil is good there" he
said, "it is sure to come to perfection"
So he watched it, and watered it, till
his proper work was beginning to be
neglected, and his wife began to hate
the sight of the bush, and said 50 to her
husband one night as they sat together
in the lamp-ight And next morning,
when the peasant examined his rose
more carefully than ever, he found
thorns beginning to grow upon it, and
at once accused his wife Of winking at
a jealous neighbor carrying away the
prize and putting worthless rose in
its stead
But he would not be defeated; he
set out that very day to climb the noun
tain and seek for another thornless
rose; and, having found it after much
labor, he came home and pulled out the
suspected bush, and planted this one in
its place. And again he watched and
watered till his poor wife lost all
patience with him, and threatened to
tear up the rose.tree. And in few
days thorns appeared once more. There
was no peace in the house any longer.
The man spent nearly all his time,
whilst his wife worked harder and
harder for their daily bread, in seeking
for thornless roses on the mountain,
and he nearly filed his garden with
them; and neighbors laughed as he
went about early and late watering
them. And when at length Autumn
came, his beds were filled with stunted
thorny bushes, which he was ashamed
to look upon.
Now he remembered his old friends
silence when he found the first rose Oh
the mountain, and he set off to have
his opinion. His friend listened
patiently, and then said -" My dear
friend, there's no good in trying to train
Alpine dwarf roses, and but little good
arguing with man who fancies he has
made discovery and will outstrip all
his nei ghbors Let US beware of such
vanity it was there you erred at the
first, and see the trouble it has brought
you into. Experience is dear school.
mistress, but a rightdown good one.
Go home and kiss your wife, and set
about your old jobs again. The
peasant shook his old friend heartily by
the hand, and went home humbled in
heart, and never sought after thornless
roses more.-Good Words.

The baby Wept;

The baby wept;
The mother took it from the nurses arms,
And soothed its grefs and stilled its vain alarms
And baby slept.
Again it weeps.
And God doth take it from the mothers arms,
From present pain and future unk nown harms;
And baby sleeps!
