something nice to her as welras to squeeze
her hand, and why his coat was buttoned

as they were going down little hill one of

stop.

"What is the matter, Mr.. Smiley ?" said
the widow, with a start that came near

"One of the traces is off," said he

"Why, Willie" said she tenderly,
"what is the matter, do tell me2" and she
gave his hand little squeeze, and looking
into his pale and troubled face, she thought
he was going to faint; so she got out her
smelling bottle with her left hand, and
pulling the stopper out with her teeth she
stuck it to his nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for a
mighty sigh, and the pungent odor made
him throw back his head SO far that he
lost his balance and went over the low back
ed buggy. The little woman gave slight
scream as his big bare feet flew by her
head and covering her face with her hands
gave way to tears or smiles-it was hard

Wilbur and his wife and baby drove up

he would rather have been shot than have
Ed. Wilbur catch him in such a scrape,
but there was no help for it now, so he
called Ed. to him and whispered in his ear.
Ed. was like to burst with suppressed
laughter, but he beckoned to his wife to
drive up, and after saying something to
her, he helped the widow out of Bill's
buggy into his, and the two women went
on leaving the men behind. Bill lost nc
time in arranging his toilet as we'll as he
could, and then with great persuasion Ed
got him to go home with him, and hunting
up slippers and socks and getting hin
washed and combed, had him quite pre-

NTHEN was boy, like most other
w boys, 1 often did idle and foolish
things. One day for instance, as was
walking up the street, | saw broken chi
ma tea-cup in the road. Picking it up, in
stead of letting it alone as l ought to have
done, began to toss it into the air. This
did several times, trying to throw ii high
or with each new effort AT last thinking
to toss it as high as the cornices Of the
houses, threw It with great energy
Alas, for me Ny arm struck my side, and
and the unluclSy piece of china went crash
ing through the window of a dwelling
house. Thinking of my fear only, ran
home as fast as my feet could carry me.
Nor did either pause or look back until
turned corner.
Shortly after this misfortune the SON of
the man whose window had broken came
home from play. Seeing the window brok-
en-, he stood outside with his hands in his
pockets looking at it. A man passing
said, "Your father will think you broke
that window, my little fellow, and he'll
cane you smartly for it.
"No he WON'T" said the boy calmly,
"for shall tell him didn't do it,"
"You may tell him so, but will he be-
lieve you 9' rejoined the man.
"To be sure he will. He always believes
what / say"
That was nobly said, and it was as he
said. That boy wore diamond called
truth, on his heart, and his father knew
that he could trust him.
Where was 1? Well, sneaked home,
feeling that had done mean act in not
going straight to the owner of the house
and confessing my misfortune. For several
days l carried my secret with me. was
in torments lest somebody had seen me,
and should, after all, tell my father. At
last my secret was dragged out. A person
who knew me had seen me break the win
dow and had told the owner of the house.
That gentleman knew my father, and, the
first time he saw him, told him what had
done. My father paid for setting new
square of glass, and on his return home
called me to his side. His face wore stern
expression. trembled and blushed like
culprit, for l knew he had found me out.
Looking right in my eye, he said,
"Peter, did you break Mr. C's window

head.
"What did you do that for ?" asked my
father, with less sternness in his manner.
The worst Of my load was now gone.-
That secret milestone which had been
crushing me was now rolled OFF, and told
my father all about the affair.
"Peter, my boy" said he, after hearing
my story, "I am glad you did not deny
your guilt regret you did not play the
man when your misfortune happened, by
going to Mr. q. at once. But honor you
for frankly and truthfally answering my
question have paid for the window. Go.
Be more careful about tossing old china
in the street and, above ALL if you should
ever be unlucky or foolish enough to meet
with similar accident, don't run away
like sneak. Act the part of a throughout
honest boy, and own your fault at once"

my promise. The advice nay father gave
me | commend to you, hoping that you
will all remember that it is honest, noble,
and manly to confess a fault while to con-
ceal it is to act the part of a coward.

fell just in advance of a log, and the
wheels passing over the log, fell upon
the child, crushing it to death.
On last Monday morning body was
discovered floating in the river near
Flanders wharf in this city. The Coro-

an examination held. The deceased
was found to have been a native of HoI-
land name, Charles Wilson: was a
seaman by occupation, and came to this
port on the barque Annie NJ. Weston.
He was last seen on Saturday the 18th
inst, and was under the influence Of
liquor at that time. The remains. from
appearances, had been in the water
twelve or fourteen days, and were badly

in healthy locality, noted in those
days for the beauty Of its women. And
the women whom they observed were
certainly not sufferers from schooling
for Mrs. John Adams, one of the most
distinguished matrons Of that period
wrote in regard to her own youth that
female education In the best families
went no further than writing and arith-
metic; in some few and rare instances,
music and dancing" Yet we find the
verdict to he upon these grandmothers
Of nearly hundred years ago, that they
showed the same delicate beauty, the
same slenderness, the same pallor, the
same fragility, the same early decline
with which their granddaughters are
now reproached.
In some respects, probably, the physi-
cal habits of the grandmOthers were
better; but an examination OF their por-
traits will satisfy any one that thew
laced more tightly than their descend
ants, and wore their dresses lower 10 the
neck; and as for their diet we have the
testemony of another French traveller,
Volney, who was in America from 1876
to l798 that ''if premium were Offered
for a regimen most Obstructive to the
teeth, the stomach, and the health in
general, none could be devised more
effieacious for these ends than that In
use among this people" And he goes
on TO give particulars, showing far
worse condition in respect TO cookery
and diet than now prevails in any de-
cent American society. (Griswold's
Republican Court" appendix
We have therefore stong evidence that
the essential change in the American
type was effected in the last century, not
in this. DIR. L. II. Clarke says'ta century
does not afford period long enough for
the production OF great changes. That
length of time could not transform the
sturdy German frdlHein and robust
English damsel into the fragile Ameri-
can Miss" And yet it is pretty clear
that the first century and q half of our
national life had done just this for our
grandmothers, without aid from school
rooms or colleges. And if so, our phys-
iolOgists ought to conform their theories
to the facts.-E W. Higginsoa in Wona-
ans Journal.

THE Tools TO THOSE WHO CAN Use
THEN.-At meeting of the State Wine
Growers Association held in Sacra-
meDto last week, the Committee on the
Classification of Grapes, through the
Secretary, reported that they had, as per
authority given them, awarded the con-
tract of painting the grapes Of the State,
or twenty varieties of then, to Miss
Hannah Millard, of San Jose. That
they had invited sample paintings and
bids from the artists of the State, and
all things considered, Miss MilIard's bid
was the most favorable. They had con-
tracted for twenty varieties at twelve
dollars each, the Society paying the
travelling expenses of the artist from
point to point. That under the contract
eight varieties had been painted. The
paintings were shown and excited
much admiration. They were sat
isfaetory to all present. Miss Mil
lard's many friends in this section will
be glad to hear that her artistic abilities
have secured such deserved recogni-
tion.-Sdn Joe Weekly Mercury.
