True Gentlemen.

1t is q sad commentary on the times
that should remember only two or
three boys Of the hundreds have met as
title gentlemen. First on the list is
richly dressed lad who, despite the ,jeers
of his wild companions, assisted beg
gar woman, who had fallen, to rise. Then,
he lifted the basket and with his daintily
gIoved Ii nd gathered the cold pieces to-
gether until the basket was filed; and
with polite bow he handed it to the wom-
an, who stood grateful and speechless
before him, When | passed, minute
after, l could not resist saying, "Your
mother has noble son, my boyl" and,
he answered c"nfusedly, "Oh, that's moth
iDg!" But it Oas something, was it nota
My second gentleman belonged to very
different class of society-a genuine
street Arab, in fact. | was laden with
bundles, and, entering crowded omni-
bus, had some difficulty in finding my
fare. Older passengers took no notice OF
my difficulty; but presently low and
rather timd voice said, "Please, maam,
Ill hold yer bundles if yer likes" and
my little gentleman took them from me
as l thanked him. The passengers about
him looked pleased at such an unlocked
for act Of politeDess on the part of the
ragged boy, and he looked confused. But
| shall never forget the little thankful
act of this little gentleman of mine, and
have no fear for the future of boy
whose heart is so noble. Last on my list
comes ragged neWsboy. A crowd OF
his fellows had surrounded an old blind
man, and josted him roughly hther and
thither. My little hero stepped to the
front. "Huld on, ,tel erS ~ he cried; "dont
run agin that old cove now. What's the
use of hurting him when he's blind and
can't look out for himself!" paused to-
watch the result. The other boys checked
their speed little, and then hurried on,
crying: "Oh, botherm So my little gen
tleman stood beside the blind man until
the crowd had passed and then silently
withdrew. The old man, little dreaming
of the youthful protector who had shield
ed him, moved slowly on, and | opened
my heart to take in another, whose small
head was already laurel-crowned in my
opinion. 1t is from the stock like this
that the true men Of America spring.
Pray that it may never die out

The Boy that Laughs.

| know funny little boy,
The happiest ever born'
His face is like beam OF JOY
Although his clothes are torn
! saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for groan;
But how he laughed! Do you suppose
He struck his funny boneE
There's sunshine in each word he speaks
His laugh is something grand;
It's ripples overrun his cheeks,
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the day is done;
The schoolroom for ajoke he takes
His lessons are but fun.
No matter how the day may go,
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth dozen boys know,
Who pout andmope and sigh

GOOD ADvIoE.-Culture your mind and

GOOD ADvIcE.-Culture your mind and
heart. Be honest. Pay your debts as
soon as you get money in your pocket.
Do without what you do not need. Aim
to possess purity of heart and decision OF
character Speak your mind when neces-
sary. Hold your tongue when prudent.
Speak to a friend in seedy coat. Cut
acquaintances who lack principle. Bear
with infrmities, but not with vices. Res
pect modesty, despise duplicity. Wear
your old clothes until you can pay for
new ones. Aim at comfort and prosper
ity, but not at fashion. Acknowledge
your ignorance, and don't pretend to
knowledge you haven't got. Entertain
your friends, but never beyond your
means.

A JESUIT missionary, who had just re-
turned from among the Indians in Ore

that for ten years of his life among
the savages he did not see white man
or a newspaper. During three months
he lived on horsehesh. Bread was un'
known by the tribes in which he labored,
and their chief food was root called

THAT politeness which we put on, in
order to keep the presumptuous at a
proper distance, will generally succeed
BUTT is sometimes that these obtrusive
characters are on such excellent terms
with themselves that they put down their
very politeness to the score of their own
great merits and high pretentions, meet
ing the coIdness of our reserve with RI
diculous condescension of familiarity, in
order to set us at ease with ourselyes.-

LONDON MAYFAIR has most excellent
story about the manager Of an aquarium.
His wife induced him to go to church,
where he fell asleep. The minister was
reading the first lesson Of the day, which
happened to be the first chapter of the
book of Ezekiel. AS he proceeded in
the description Of the wonderful beast
which the prophet saw in the land Of the
Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, the aqua
rum manager moved uneasily in his seat,
Every one had four faces, aud every one
had four wings" The aquarium mana.
ger rubbed his eyes, and the preacher
went on, "And they had the hands of a
man under their wings on their four
sides, and they four had their faces and
their wings" The aquarium manager
was now wide awake. Gas for the like
ness of their faces, they four had the face
of man and the face of lion on the
right side, and they four had the face of
an ok on the left side. They four also
had the face of an eagle" The aquarium
manager was now standing up, his wife
vainly pulling at his coat-tails. "Name
your own price," he cried; 81 will take
the thing"

Remembered Kindness.

The Raleigh North CaroIna) Ne0S
tells the following gratifying story; "ln
one of the hotly-contested fights in Vir.
ginia during the war, Federal officer
fell wounded in front of the Confederate
breastworks. While lying there wound.
ed and crying pitenusly for water, u Con-
federate soldier Dames Moore, of Burke
county, North CaroIina) declared his in
tention of supplying him with drink.
The bullets were flying thick from both
sides, and Moore's friends endeavored to
persuade him from such hazardous en-
terprise. Despite remonstrance and dan
ger, however, Moore leaped the breast
work, canteen in hand, reached his
wounded enemy, aud gave him drink.
The Federal, under sense of gratitude
for the timely service, took out his gold
watch and offered it to his benefactor,
but it was refused. The officer then
asked the name of the man who had
braved such danger to succor him; the
name was given and Moore returned un.
hurt to his position behind the embank.
ment. They saw nothing more of each
other Moore was subsequently wounded
and lost limb in one Of the engagements
in Virginia, and returned to his home in
Burke county. A few days ago he re-
ceived communication from the FEEDER
al soldier to whom he had given the cup
of cold water on the occasion alluded to,
announcing that he had settled on him
the sum OF $4,000, to be paid in four
equal annual installments Of $4,000 each.
Investigation has established the fact
that there is no deception in the matter"

late, The Winchester train was due, but on

The Winchester train, coming eastward, had

although they had received orders to proceed,
thcy did 50 very cautiously, feeling that some
thing was wrong, and they went along so SLOW
" towards the poiut at which the fatal collision
occurred that Captain Burton walked beside the
engine the whole distance. When nearing the
curve where tic Two trains met Burton mag
ircd he heard The approach OF the coming train,
and no SCORER hai hG communicated his belief
to the engineer than the excursion train burst
upon them with lrightlul velocity and force
The engineer and fireman on the Winchester
train Jumped down the cmbankmcnt from their
engine, and the locomotives met with fright

coaches Of the Winchester train, was badly
smashed and knocked ir1m the track, while
