He Began II First.

Humankind have queer ways, too, in
their disputes and tifs. They're very apt
to think that if they don't begin u fight
they've a right to keep it up in about any
way they choose. Some one lately told me
this true story about a boy named Harry,
who used to get angry very quickly and re-
venge himself right off. His parents
usually made light of his quarrels if Harry
only said Of the other fellow he began

had never seen such things before. 1t was
very hot summer day, and as the little
fellow soon became tired Of playing by him
self in the sun, he slipped into the quiet
paror, and lying down on a sofa opposite
one of these big mirrors, fell asleep.
After while he awokei rubbing his
eyes as he stood up, he saw boy rubbing
his eyes, too. He looked at him wonder
ingly, then iercely, and the boy looked Just
as hercely at him. In moment Harry
doubled up his fist, and the boy did the
same. This was too much to bear, and he
darted towards the boy (as he thought), and
dasbing bis fist against the mirror, broke

Hearing the crash, bis mother ran in

"They knelt and PRAYED"

A dispatch from Havre, giving details OF
the loss of the ocean steamship Vile du
Hayre, contains the following paragraph
General admiration is expressed at the
courage of the American ladies, who de-
ported themselves with great calmness and
made no confusion. SEEING their almost in
eyitabe fate, they knelt and prayed in those
solemn moments"
Who can read these lines without pro.

terrible scene of that terrible hour. The

darkness and crushing the life-boais aud
their occupants parents seeking for .4il-
