The Serrano government in Spain is
determined to leave the public in no doubt
of its monarchical procliyities. Its three
leading measures since the coup detat by
which it came into power, have been the
suppression of the opposition journals, the
abrogation of the constitutional guarantees,
aud the dissolution of the Cortes. Its pol
icy cannot be said to lack energy. As yet
there have been no serious reyolts, but they
that take the sword shall perish by it, The
Spanish people have changed very much
within few months if they let such good
excuse for insurrection 60 by unimproyed.
But to be sure, all signs fail when it comes
to discussing the probable action Of ma.
ton of whose fifteen millions twelve mil
lions can't read, and of whose four thou
sand mayors of towns, cities and villages,
half cant sign their names. Meanwhile, a
great battle between the Carlsts and the
government troops impends in aud about
the sea port town Of Bilboa, on the coast of
the Bay of Bscay. Mariones, who COM
mands the Spanish troops, is a general who
has generally given a good account of him
self These revolutions at Madrid must
have rather discouraging influence on the
troops, though. 1t is depressing not to know
two days together whether you are fighting
for republic or monarchy.

splitting up for his mother, " do wish |
could do something for the world. | wish

famous missionary like Judson, but can't
do anything nor be anything"
"Why do you want to be hero2
asked his cousin, John Maynard, who, com
ing up just then, happened to hear his solil-
oquy.
"0h !" said Willie, coloring, "every
one admires hero, and talks about him,
and praises him after he is dead"
"That's the idea, is it2' said John.
" You want to be ,roic for the sake of be-
ing talked about"
Willie did not exactly like this way Of
putting it,
Not only that, but want to do good
to peope--conyert the heathen-or---save
sinking ship, or save the country, or some
thing like that"
That sounds better, but, believe me,
Willie, the greatest heroes have been men

Jack had evidently gone through with
some process Of reasoning which brought
him TO the conclusion that Il was case in
which a woman could not halp, not even his

him.
He burst on into the presence Of the
shoemaker, pulled at bis shirt.seeyos, and
ran to the door, whining. The man put on
bis coat and followed. At the grocery.
store, next door, he stopped long enough
to tell Of the dogs conduct then borrowed
a horse and sleigh which stood waiting
while the ownor was making purchases,
and drove on after Jack.
Men came out along the road until there
was quite a party on the way, some in
sleighs and some on foot. When the old
lady was overtaken, she was picked up and
conveyed along.
Jack led the way. There stood the pa.
tient oxen in their tracks; they had not
lifted so much as one Of their feet in all
that time And there lay the ensign, quite
insensible now, just where he had fallen.

Taking the Other Hand.

On lovely day in the commencement Of
spring, young lady who had been anx-
iously watching for some weeks by the sick
bed of her mother, went out to take little
exercise and enjoy the fresh air, for her
heart was full Of anxiety and sorrow.
After strolling some distance, she came
to ropewalk, and being familiar with the
place, she entered. At the end of the build
ing she saw little boy turning a large
wheel. Thinking this too laborious en-.
ployment for such a mere child she said to
him as she approached
"Who sent you to this place ?'
" Nobody, ma'am came myself"
A" Do you get pay for your labor r.
a." Indeed do. get nine pence a day"
&" What do you do with the money ?"
" Oh, mother gets it all"
" You give nothing to your father, then2'
" | have no father, ma am"
Z" Do you like this work? ?"
4" Oh, well enough, ma am but if did
not like it | should still do it, that | might
get money for mother"
d" How long do you work in the day r.
L" From nine till twelve in the morning,
and from two till five in the afternoon"
A." How old are you ?"
"Almost nine"
a" Do you get tired of this great wheel?''
+" Yes, sometimes, ma'am."
4" And what do you do then r.
Why, ma'am, take the other hand"
The lady gave him piece of money.
4" Is this for mother, ma'am ?" asked the
well pleased urchin.
Z" No, no; it is for yourself, because you
are good little boy"
Thank you kindly, ma'am," returned
he, smiling; "mother will be so proud aud
so happy"
The young lady departed, and returned
home strengthened in her devotion to duty,
and instructed in true, practical philosophy
by the words and example of mere child.
"The next time duty seems hard to me, -
said the lady to herself ~ will initiate
this little boy, and take the other hand"

"A PLEASANT Day" The Danbury
Neics says Among the large number gath
cred at the horse sale recently was Col H.,
who is, as our Danbury readers well know,
very deaf Alongside of him stood young
man, a stranger, engaged, as was the Colo
mel, in watching the sale. During lull,
he turned to the Colonel and politely OBJ
served "a pleasant day" The Colonel
saw the movement of his lips, but of course
heard no sound, and not wishing to lose
what might be matter of vital interest, he
said, whats that" at is pleasant
day." repeated the young man, suddenly
realizing the dreadful insiguifeance of the
statement 81 did not quite hear you,"
explained the Colonel, leaning forward with
anxiety. The young man turned very red,
and looked as if he was about to descend
into the bowels of the earth. I" l said it
was pleasant day" he again stammerod,
raising his voice and shiyering at the sound.
The Colonels hand went up to his ear;
4" Really, SIR" he said in bland manner,
"I am afraid you will have to speak lit
tie louder" The young man grew redder
than ever. How gladly he would have
turned and fled how bitterly ho regretted
not keeping the information to himself
But the Colonel stood waiting; and raising
himself by his toes, the young man shrilly
screamed; at is . pleasant day." The
Colonel heard this and promptly coincided,
and the young man retreated, amid the en-
couraglug smiles Of the populaee.
