ONE BABY William Smoot
takes the fares from the passengers upon
a certain line Of ferry boats, as they go
from the wharf TO the vessel. The other
day woman came up to him and asked
him to hold her baby minute while she
went back to look for her husband. Mr..
Smoot laid the baby on the ground in
comfortable position, and just then the
husband and father came up and took the
child, and started off to look for his wife.
A moment after he had gone, Mrs. Smoot
with her baby, came up TO ask something
about dinner, and just as she started to
leave, up came the woman who had left
her baby. She hadn't met her husband,
and as she saw Mrs. Smoot, it rushed up
on her that that estimable woman was
kidnapping the child entrusted to Smoot.
Before Mrs. Smoot-(it seems to us we
are getting a great deal of Smoot into this
article somehow, but it can't be helped }
before Mrs. Smoot had gone three feet,
that indignant and bereaved parent made
a plunge at her, and seized Mrs. Smoot's
child. She stroye to tear it away from
Mrs. Smoot, and that lady, believing
he.wonTan to be a maniac, resisted des-
perately. AT last Smoot came to the as
sistance of his wife, and just as he began
to pull off her assailant, the husband
came along with the baby, and was
alarmed to sec man fighting with the
mother Of his child. The conflict became
general, until the bystanders interfered.
Then the difficulty WIS explained, and
Smoot went back to his post. The only
remarkable result that ensued was that
the boat on that trip carried over as dead
heads twenty three boys, who slipped on
board while Smoot was in battle array
He will probably decline to watch strange
babies after this.-,Sdt. Fee. Post.

ExAGGERATIoN REBUKED.-A quaint
Scotch minister was given somewhat to
exaggerating in the pulpit. His clerk
reminded him of its i'll effects upon the
congregation. He replied that he was
not aware of it, and wished the clerk, the
next time he did it, to give a cough by
way of hint.
Soon after he was describing Samson's
tying the foxes'tails together. He said /:
1.-THE foxes in those days were much
larger than ours, and had tails twenty fut
long"
"Ahem ~ came from the clerks desk.
"That is" continued the preacher, sac
cording to their measurement; but by
ours, they were fifteen fut long"
"Ahem louder than before.
"But as you may think this is extrava-
giant, We'll just say they were ten fut."
"Ahem ahem ~ still more vigorous.
The parson leaned over the pulpit, and
shaking his finger at the clerk, said
"You may cough there all the night
long, mon; I'll nae take off fut more.

LATENT NOBILITY.

The London Telegraph prefaces an ac-
count of very heroic act of self-sacri-
fee by which British sailor saved the
lives Of a ships company by the sacri
fee of his own, with remark which it
would be well for those who are dsmayed
and discouraged by the record of bad ac-
tions and crimes which are chronieled by
the public press, to bear in mind. "How
different" says the Telegraph, "the his
tory Of the daily life Of humanity would
appear, if, instead OF chronicling all the
sad and evil things done under the sum- ,
it were possible to record all its good and
honest actions Journals are, in this re-
spect, like doctors-they have to deal
chiefly with the morbid phenomena Of
human existence, the crimes, the quar-
rels, the ambitions, the wars, the jeal-
ousies, the political struggles. Those hap
py and honest things, which are, in reali-
ty, thousand times more common than
unhappy and shameful events, must go
for granted, just as medical publications
fill themselves with pictures of disease
from end TO end, without even mention
ing the fact that health is the normal and
general condition of people,"
The particular incident concerning
which the Telegraph has made the above
text, occurred on board a pilot vessel in
Australian waters, which in July last was
forced upon her beam ends by tre-
mendous wave, at the same time break
ing the mainmast short of. The schoon-
er could only be saved by cutting away
the triangle of spars and shrouds and can
vass holding her down, but James Mar,
one Of the seamen, who had been sent
alott before the accident, was on one of
the floating spars, and the crew hesitated
TO cut the wreck adrift, for life for them
meant death for him. In this exigency,
taking in all the circumstances, Mar gave
the word in a clear and loud voice that
rose above the storm, Chop away mates
chop away ~ The command was obey
ed, and the little vessel arose from the
trough of the sea, her. crew all saved,
while the hero of this simple and sublime
action was swept under by the full force
Of the rolling waves. How much nobler
such an illustration of manhood than any
which battle-felds afford and how refresh
ing TO reflect that while crime is almost
always sure Of publicity, virtue and gen
erosity of the most exalted character may
exist in the most unlocked for places,
and be only unknown because it has no
opportunity for its exercise.
