Manners.

Manners are more important than
money. A boy who is polite and pleas
ant in his manners will always have
friends, and will not often make enemies
Good behaviour is essential to prosperi-
ty. A boy feels we'll when he does
well. If you wish to make everybody
pleasant about you, and gain friends
wherever you 80, cultivate good man
ncrs. Many boys have pleasant man
ncrs fer company, and ugly manners for
home.
We visited small railroad toYn, not
long since, and were met at tho depot by
a little boy Of about eleven or twelve
years, who conducted rs to the house of
his mother, and entertained aud cared

The Wanderers Prayer.

On a cold, dreary evening in autumn,
alsmall boy, poorly clad, yet clcauly and
tidy, with pack upon his back, knock
cd at the door Of an old Quaker in the
town Of S.. "Was MIR. Lanmen
at home p eyes" The boy wished
to see him, and he was speedily ushered
into the hosts presence.
Friend Lanman was one Of tn c
wea]thicst men in tho County, and
President of the L Valley
Railroad. The boy had come to see if
he could obtain situation on the road.
He said he was an orphan-his metheT
had been dead only two months, and he
was now a homeless Wandercr But the
lad was too small for the filling of any
place within the Quaker's gift and he
was forced to deny him. Still he lsked
the looks of the boy and said to him:
'Thce may stop in my house to night
aud on the morrow L will give thee the
name Of two or three men in Philadel
phia, to whom thee may appl, with as
surance of kind reception, at least. 1
am sorry 1 have no employment Tor
thee" ~ @33ht.
Later in the evening the old Quaker
went therounds of his spacious mansion,
lantern in hand, as was his wont, to see
that all was safe, before retiring for the
night. AS he passed the door of the
little chamber where the poor wandering
orphan had been placed to sleep, he
heard voice. He stopped and listened
and distinguished the tones of simple,
earnest prayer. He bent his ear nearer,
and heard these words from tho boys
lips: ""
go, Good Father in Heaven help
rne to help myself Watch over me as
| watch over my conduct and care for
me as deeds shall merit! Bless the
good r,:.n in whose house am sheltered
and spare him long, that he may con
tinue his bounty to other suffering and
needy ones AMEN!
And the Quaker responded another
AMEN as he moved on and as he went
his way he meditated. The boy had
true idea Of the duties of life, and pos
scsSed warm, grateful heart. s'I veri
ly believe the lad will be treasure to
his employer :" wns his concluding rsaeo
ton. It
When the morning came, the old
Quaker had changed his mind concern
ing his answer to the boys application.
"Who learned theo how to pray p"
asked Friend L. tr10
"Iy mother, sir" was the soft reply.
And the rich brown eyes grew moist.
"And thee will rot forget thy mothers

II cannot. for know that my success
in life is dependent upon them" ~
"My boy thee may stay here In my
house and very soon Twill take thee to
my Office. Go now aud get thy break
fast"
Friend l.. was gathered to the spirit
harvest shortly after tho breaking out Of
the late war; but he lived to see the
poor boy he had adopted rise, step by
step, until he fiually assumed the re
sp p!nsiblc Office which the failing guar
dian could no longer hold. And to day
there is no man more honored and re
spectod by his friends, and none more
feared by gamblers and evilminded
spectators in irresponsible stock, than
is the once poor Wanderer-now presi
dent of one of the best managed and
