Saved the Old Man.

Jim Cary was an engineer who
used 70 run the "Recder" on the
Hamilton and Dayton road. lie was
a blood. thirsty fellow, aud when un-
der his management the royal
Breeder sped through the Miami
Valley screaming like an eagle; she
was The terror Of the bovine tribe
along tho way. Cary did mind a bit
about running over live stock. but lie
said it made him ssrry 10 run down 4
man, Tor he hated TO.
One Indian Summer day, when.
with mixed train OF passenger and
freight cars. he was clipping down the
road near Glendale, he saw ahead an
old gentleman seated on the track,
with kis back toward the approaching
train reading a newspaper.
The elderly party seemed deeply
absorbed Ia what might have been
election returns, aud did not notice
tho train. Cary's heart was little
softened that day, perhaps by the
mellow sunshine, or BY thinking OF
his wlfe's aunt who lay sleeping In the
church-yard; he thought he wouldn't
mash the old man without giving him
fair warning.

OF ALEXANDER HAM
ILTON.

Hamilton was once applied to for
professional assistance by man of New
York city who held The guardianship Of
several orphan children. These
children, then very young, would,
on coming ofage, if they had their rights
succeed to the possession of a large and
valuable estate. In the title deeds Eof
this estate the guardian had discovered
material defects, and he thought he saw
a way, with the assistance of an able
lawyer. by which he could secure the title
of the whole property to himself He

explaining how he would like to proceed.

THE BROKEN PANE.

At our school there was a boy by
the name of Robert Rich. One day
he was throwing stones, when he hit
a window, and broke pane Of glass
No person had seen him throw the
stone. He might have skunk away
and kept his act secret, if he had
not been to noblea boy to do such a
meanness.
MIR. Hardwick, who lived in the
house where the window was broken,
was a lawyer, and seemed to be of a
stern, harsh temper; for he used to
scold the boys if they but crossed his
fields, or even entered his woods.
Robert did not like tomeet him.
But Robert had more fear of.do-
ing wrong than OF facing the anger
of the lawyer. So hewent up to Mr..
Hardwick, and said, Sin throwing a
stone just now, I broke a pane OF
glass in one Of your windows"
"Well, then, you must send glaz-
Ter and havei it mended," said Mr..
Hardwick, in an angry tone.
"That is just what I wished to
do" said Robert, "and I will do it at
once.' @~v-n~cr A re
Struck by his manly reply, Mr..
Hardwick asked Robert ifhe had any
money to pay The glazier.

crown that have been saving up"
"What have you been saving it up
for?" asked Mr. Hardwisk.
Ihave been saving it up to buy
my sister a sunshade, replied Robert.
swell, sir" said the lawyer, look
to you to see that my window is
mended." n1 o5J1#1
Robert bowed, and took his leave.
That same day he sent a glazier, and
had anewpane Of glass set in place Of
the broken one. He felt that Mr.. Hard
wick had claimed of him no more than
was right, and heidi not blame him.
But, as Robert sat at his lessons that
evening, the door-bell rung, and a pax
age was left for him. He opened it, and
what do you think be found? In the
package was beautiful blue sunshade,
and with it letter from Mr.. Hardwlck
in these words: ''Take this as proof
that was pleased by your rediness in do
ing right to-day" .r
Robert ran ard gave the sunshade- to
his sister, and she was delighted with the
gift, His father, when he learned what
had happened, said to Robert, awe should
always do right for the love of right, and
not in the hope of reward"
81 am sureI did not hope for a reward"
said Robert. II should still have been
glad that paid for mending the window,
even if had got nothing IN return For
surely deserved nothing I see that
man may seem stern, like Mr.. Hardwick,
and yet be kind at heart. English pap

A correspondent of the London Tim,

A correspondent of the London Times
in letter about the Pope, says:
The eagerness with which Protestants
from all countries, and especially from
England and America, press forward in
the Vatican aptechambers, suing for the
honor of kissing the cross on the Pontif-
cal slipper. has a bewildering and almost
intoxicating effect on the aged Pontiff's
feeble imagination, who is, incapable OF
referring that ardent desire to see him to
mere idle curiosity, but attributes it to
real veneration for his officeas well as for
his person. X

HYGIENIC TREATMENT OF
THE AGED.

Mr. Habershon, in clinical lect-
ure at Guys Hospital, London, re-
ierring to the case Of an old man,
remarked: "The man died simply
by the shock produced by coming
out into the cold and fog, which,
though only an inconvenience to US,
was sufficient to lead to fatal result
on one whose circulation had become
enfeebled, and whose vital force had
so nearly LOST it's power. l am re-
minded by this case Of an instance Of
longevity communicated to me by a
gentleman the other day. His moth
er, who had died at the age OF 102,
during the winter months, 'had re-
fused to get up, saying that she was
only warm in bed, | have no
doubt that it was owing to this uni
form, warm temperature that she
lived SO long and I mention the
instance as a recommendation for
you, wnen you have to prescribe for
old people, to advise that they be
kept warm. You should also look
carefully after their nourishment.
Old people cannot eat large meals ;
therefore they must take them more
frequently. Many old people will
wake up about 3 or 4 o'clock in the
morning. 1T is q good plan that
they should have some nourishment
then; otherwise the interval between
the night and morning meals is too
long for their declining strength. 1t
is by care in such minutie that we
may prolong the life Of the aged.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

Newspaper advertising is now recog-

tive means for securing for their goods

Newspaper advertising impels III

Of good quality ana a! fair price, the
natural result Is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a perma-
nent addition TO the reputation of the
goods advertised. because it is a per-
manept influence always at work in

Newspaper advertising is the most
energetic and yigilant Of statesmen;
addressing thousands each day, always

Newspaper advertising promotes
