A BOYS FIRST START IN LIFE.

SSAN9 years ago gentleman from the
ssS town of Mcthuen, while on n visit to u
prominent merchant in Boston, was asked 10y
the merchant if he knew boy in Methuen
that he could recommend to work in his sture
At FIRST the gentleman could think of no one
for he knew none but faithful, honest boy
would suit the thrifty merchant. AT length,
however. he called to mind boy of excel.
lent character in his ucighborhoOd, but he
feared he would hardly do. as his parents
we're very poor, and he had no education or
other advantages to fit him for such a posi-.
tiOn. But the description of the boys habits
pleased the merchant so much that be hAud
cd the gentleman a dollar with which TO pay
the boys fare to Boston by stage. aud if on y
personal interview all should not prove salts.
factory, he would pay his fare back home.
again.
The gentleman, as requested. visited the
boys parents, aud stating the merchants pro
posal, advised thcE, to send tie boy for trial
II then gave him the dollar which was seut
to nay his fare to Boston, and departed
Under similar circumstances ninety. ninc
ont of every hundred hnys would have said
- Now for good time! never saw city,
and never rode stage. Oh, there will be
SO much to see, aud it will DO such long
ride. and here is money sent to pay my fare !"
Not so with this boy Putting the nSebey
carefully in his pocket, he said to ftiniself,
g This is the FIRST dollar ] ever had how /
wish / could save it 1t is only tRentysliye
<slsisoae,osIIss - ~ aa,i
IN do it, and save my dollar.D
His mother patched mp his clothes as we'll
us she could, and carly next morning tho lit
tle fellow parted with his parents at tho door
of his humble home aud set out on his long
tramp to the great city, which he reached,
tired and dusty, little before sunset
He soon found the merchant, who steruly
asked
{" Where have you been all day? Tho
stage came in hours ago"
The boy thought he had displeased the
merchant at the onset, abd with downcast
head and tremulous voice he answerHd,-
{" did not come on the stage "
- What do you mean? Didn't l send
money to pay your fare Z"
The boy thought it was all up with him
sure, aud amid gathering tears he managed
to reply 3
81 am very sorry, sir-I did not mean to
offend you. / thought / would walk and
save the dollar: never had ono before"
Placing his haud gently on the boys head,
the merchant replied, -
My little man, you did exactly right
Come home with me aud get some supper"
Then turning TO byssauder, he remarked,
'' wouldn't take thousand dollars for this
boy to day."
That boy has grown to manhood and has
eince become widely known in his business
circles. He is now the owner of the mills
at Methueu, the Pemberton mills at Law

the fucst farms in chusetts.-HarttOrd

Oil Yourself a Little.

There is true humor in the following
story: Once upon time there lived an old
gentleman in n large house. BE lad servants
aud everything he wanted yet he was rot
happy, and when things did not go as he
wished. he was very cross At last his ser
wants left him. Quite out of temper, he
went to a neighbOr with story of his dis
tresses.
.. 1t seems to me, " said the peichbor. "a.
gaciously, .''twould be well for you to oil your
self little"
To oil myseIf?"
g Yes; aud l will explain. Some time
ago ono of the doors 10 my house creaked.
Nobody therefore liked to go in or out by it
One day l oiled its hinges. and it has been
constantly used by everybody ever since
g. Then you think am like the creakiDg
door, cried the old gentleman. Chow do
you want me to oil myseIfY'
''T That's an easy matter" said the neigh
Dor, go home and engage servant, and
when he does right, praise him. II, on the
contrary, he does something sDiss. do not
be cross; oil your voice and wo.ds with the
oil of love-"
The old gentleman went home and NO
harsh or ugly words were ever heard in the
house afterwards. Every family should have
bottle Of this precious oil, for every family
is liable TO have n, creskiDg hinge in the
shape of a trettul disposition. cross temper,
harsh tone. or fault finding spirit.

Origin Of "seeing the EIephant. .

Fifty years since, down East, il was customs
AIRY for the manager OF circus to rIdo in

OF his quudrupcds for the night. On one
occasion manager Was told by farmer
that ..ie might have tho range of lis bArn>

said the farmer, with a grin. ''WeIl, you
look out for your bull" snid the Snowman.
"You look out for your elephant" rctOrted
the farmer, land IN take kccr of my bull"
The elephant was in due time introduced into
the yard. The bull contemplated tho living
Tor few seconds and then lowering
his head and e!evatiug his stump of tail,
charged the elephant With full bead OF
steam on.
But short-tuiIed bull had no terrors for
behemoth, whose amuscment had been the
destruction of Bengal tigers in an Eastern
jungle With one blow Of his mighty trunk
he broke the back of his rash antagonist, aud
there lay at his feet about nine hundred
pounds of remarkably tough beef. ''Jeruse-

his awful ruin. "Jerusclam who'd thuuk

that was tho origin of phrase that haS made
the tour of the Yankee land.

Ny darling and were. near;
With hearts all blooming. like flowers
That in the May-timo appear.
Abrook was flowing beside us
With murmurs low and ltgktt
Clouds aOated over the heavens.
And melted away from our siGht.
Among the branches rustled
The Leaves, all ssre and dead;
Aud DER us. silently gliding.
Wont Time with stealthy tread.
AS there. on the youtlful lOve.s,
The elders eyes were bent,
Was Lite's reflected image
From each to other sOnt:
They looked on ne, recalling
The joy of byaone prime:
We looked on them with visions
OF far-Oft. coming Time.
