WE were standing in the doorway
My little wife and /;
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently.
A small white hand upon my arm
What could 1 ask for more
Than the kindly glance OF loving eyes
AS she kissed me at the door?
Who cares for wealth, or land, or gold,
Or fame, or matchless power?
1t does not give the happiness
OF Just one little hour,
With one who loves me as her life
And says she loves me more;
And / thought she did this morning
As she kissed me at the door.

Loved his Mother.

A little boy thirteen years old was re-
Gently brought before a New York court
for attempting to pick the pocket OF a
man. on Broadway. He was sentenced
to the house of refuge, but cried bit
terly on hearing his punishment, and
begged to be let off, asserting that he
had never done any thing of the kind
before. AS the officer was taking him
away, he broke away from him, rushed
to his mother, who was present, threw
his arms around her neck, and kissing
her passionately, sobbed out !: Good
bye, mamma, good-bye!" The judges
consulted together a few moments, and
the boy was brought again into court,
and informed that the affection he had
for his mother induced the court, in the
hope that he would be good boy in fu-
ture, to change his punishment to thirty
days Imprisonment in the city prison.
At this both mother and child burst into
tears of JOY. When going away, the
boy called back to his mother: "Don't
fret for me, mamma" There is little
doubt but that q boy who has a deep
love for q good mother may be easily re-
strained from evil courses by right man.

I had earned S65 while in prison, and

but three days ago it gave out and
made up my mind to 60 back to prison,

DR.. Harris here interposed and asked
Hanson if he would live an honest life If
he got work.
The ex-convict raised his eyes to
heaven and fervently called God to wit
ness that he would.
"Then," said the doctor, 81 will see
that you are placed in honest employ
ment."
The mans gratitude was profound. He
seemed dazed at the kindness of those
about him. 1t was so different from
that to which he had been accustomed,
and the tears filed his eyes. He could
only find utterance for "God bless you
all. You have made man of me"
He was temporarily committed to the
city prison, and the next day provided
with employment as promised.

Keep Your Promise.

A boy borrowed tool from carpen-
ter, promising to return it at night.
Before evening he was sent away on an
errand, and did not return until late.
Before going he wastold that his brother
should see that the article was returned.
After he had come home he inquired and
found that the tool had not been sent to
its owner. He was much distressed to
think his promise had not been kept, but
was persuaded to go to sleep and rise
early and carry it home the next morn
ing. By daylight he was up, and no.
where was the tool to be found. After a
long, fruitless search he set off for his
neighbor's in great distress to acknowl-
edge his fault. But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neigh
boris doorstone. And then it appeared,
from the prints of his little bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up in his
sleep and carried the tool home, and
gone to bed again without knowing it.
Of course a boy who was prompt in his
sleep was prompt when awake. Re-
spected while he lived, he had the conf
dence of his neighbors, and was placed
in many offices of trust and profit. If
all grown persons felt as this boy did
there would be a good many tracks of
bare feet found some of these bright
mornings, and what piles of books and
tools would be found at their owners

CleOpatraN Needle.
of success

Prof. Erasmus Wilson has announced
his intention of bringing from Egypt to
England the long neglected "Cleopatra's S
Needle" at his own expense. The manner
in which it is proposed to convey the obe-
lisk through the Mediterranean, the At
lantic, the Bay of biscay. and up the Eng
Gsh channel to the Thames river, is pc
cular. First of all, it will be ballasted in
the water at Alexandria, where it is at
present lying, and a deck will be put
upon it, with couple of masts. The
hinder compartment OF the deck will be
left open for the accommodation OF two
or. three men, whose duty it will be to
steer the "ship" by means of an ordinary
rudder. The obelisk, thus shipped, will
be ready for the steamer which IS ap-
pointed to tow it out to sea. The barom-
eter will be consulted daily, SO that the
journey may be made under the most
favorable conditions. On the arrival of
the monument in England, the professor
will proceed at once to place it in an up
right position. To do this in the ordi-
nary way would be task of great diff
Guilty, as it weighs 200 tons. Hydraulic
power will'be applied to each end of the
obelisk, and it Will be raised by thatmeans,
foot by foot, until it reaches the height
of twenty-nine feet in horizontal posi-
sion. A "iacket" will then be put
around its center of gravity, with couple
of trunnions fixed firmly to it, and all
that remains to be done afterward will
be to cut the lashings, when the massive
piece of stone will drop into its place on
the pedestal. There are those who be-
ieve the experiment will prove failure,
but the Scotch professor is confident OF
succesS
