One afternoon a gentleman of Boston en-
/ tered the baggage car of an outward bound
train, and desiring to read some manuscript
he chose this ear because il was airy aud re
tired A youngster OF about fifteen years OF
age was occupying, with great abandon, q
chair. The gentleman wishing to sit mean
the open door of the car, to obtain both
light and air thus accosted the youngster
"Bub, will you exchange that chair foI
my seat for a few moments p
No, sir, this chair is engaged
The gentleman was very polite, as he rec.
ognzed the young mans right to the chair
by actual possession. II appears that he was
temporarily in charge of some express mat
ter, his father being expressman ON the
route, but the moral Of the in cident we shall
give in relating another incident which oc-
CURED in Boston many years ago.
There was very plainly dressed elderly
lady, who was frequent customer at the
then leading dry goods store in Boston. No
one in the store knew her, even by name,
All the clerks but one avoided her, and gave
their attention TO those who were better
dressed and more pretentious The excep-
ton was this young man, who had consci-
entious regard for duty and SYSTEM he
never left another customer 10 wait ON the
lady, but when at liberty he waited on her
with as much attention as though she had
been princess. This continued for year
or two, until the young man became of age.
One morning the lady approached the
young man, when the following conversation
took place;
Lady" Young man, do you not wish to
60 into business for yourself 2"
Yes, ma'am,' heresponded "but have
neither money, credit, nor friends, nor will
any one trust me-
Well" continued the lady, "you go and
select good location, ask what the rent is,
and report to me, handing the young man
her address.
The young man went, found a capital To-
cation. good store but the landlord re-
quired security which he could not give.
Mindful of the lady's request he forthwith
went TO her and reported.
Wei, she replied, you 60 and tell Mr.,
- that | will be res possible"
lie went, and the landlord or agent was
surprised, but the bargain was closed-and
next day the lady called TO ascertain the re-
suit. The young man told her, but added (:
What am to do for goods No one
will trust me-"
You may go and see Mr.. --, and Mr.,
-, and Mr.. --, and tell them to call on
me-"
lie did and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market. There
are many in this city who remember the cir
cumstances and the man he died many
years since and left fortune Of three hun
bred thousand dollars. SO much for polite
ness, so much for civility, and so much for
treating ones elders with the Difference due
TO age, in whatever garb they are clothed.
Now this gentleman in the baggage car
might have been director of the road, or a
very influential man otherwise, and as he is
very observing man and good judge Of
character, different answer nom the young
ster might have interested him in his behalf
and led To some future advantage.

The Life TO Come.

What does man take with him when
from the extreme verge of life he launches
into what lies beyond 1t looks as if he
took nothing. Death seems to pass a sponge
over all that has gone before. Be it the
end, or be it new beginning, it seems a to-
tai breaking off from all that life has hith-
erto consisted in. That is what makes it
terrible
But, if we look at it truly, his past life is
Just the one thing that man does take with
him when he dies. lie takes himself. And
that self is the product of all his past ex-
periences and actions. As an oak bears in it
self the results of every shower that through
long years has freshened it, of every gale
that has toughened it or stripped its boughs
of the sunshine that has fed it, and the
drouth that has parched it. SO a man, when
he stands at the end of life, is what he ha,
been made by all his joys, and sufferings
and actions. That is what he takes into
the other world-his own character
The life TO come and the life that now i,
are parts of one another. They are related
The man is not the same that the boy was
but what the boy was entered into the man
as a part of him. The strength | gain bl
my victories this year, and the weakness into
which | come by defeat, will be a part OF
me next year So, there is not AN act, nor q
word or thought but casts its influence for
ward into the tomorrow that lies beyond
death.

my gaze, nothing but the white face, the
startling orhs of q corpse. Katie had died

clutched proved.
The next day they buried the pair my er.

Mrs. Brown could say NO more. for sobs
choked her utterance. Her listener, too, was
deeply affected, as her pale face and fearful
eyes showed

called

The child heard her, and came quickly to
her side.
"What is it, mammal

she said, drawing him to her.
A smile lit up his face
"Ihcn doyou love me, mamma %
Love YOU Oh, Willicw
Her arms were about him now. and She
was ,obbing ON his shoulder.
Did somebody tell you about those bad
boys 70 he asked wouderingly. They have
got q flask of whskey mamma
Thank God You are saved, my darling.
She cried Historically.
She drew him closer 90 her, she chung to
him, She showcred kisses on his wondering
face. But never. until he was a man, with
a son of his own. did She tell him the story
Of that other Willie, whose childhood aud
his had been so much alike. and how, by the
knowledge Of that other Willic's unfortunate
career he had been saved by her perhaps
