Trusting IL boy.

During the session of the late Epis-
copal Convention in Boston, the Bish-
op of Louisiana, crossing the Com
mon, met a boy whose face he fan
cied, and, calling him to him, asked
if he had anything to do just then,
to which he said no. "Are you a
good boy?" Tho little fellow scratch
ed his head and replied 81 am not
n very good boy. Icuss a little some
times" This candid answer inspir-
cd the bishop with confidence, and
he then said, after giving his name
and address: ~ want you to go to n
certain place and get bundle for
me, and bring it to my hotel. There
will be charge ofoight dollars; here
is the money to pay for it, and a
halrdollar which you will keep for
doing the Grand"
On his return to the hotel the Bish-
ops friends laughed at him for his
credulity, telling him that he would
never see the poor boy again, but in
n half an hour the young chap re-
turned, bringing the bundle and u
rccciptcd bill of eight dollars and a
half, the Bishop having made Il
slight mistake as to the amount due,
How did you manage to pay the cx-
ira half dollar? he cnquired, "ltook
tho money you gave me for the job.
/ knew that you would make it all
right" Aud "all right"itwOs made,
and have no doubt that the conf
dencc that was reposcd in that boy,
because of his truthrulncss, will do
him good ms lougas he lives. Bishop

astick TO Dad.r

A farmers boy writes to US the fol-
II am tired of farming and
want to go to town to make living
for myself. What do you think
about it?"
Well, we think you are a fool if
you don't stay on the farm. The
city now is overrun with "dead
beats" and tramps, and if you've got
a dead sure thing on making "bread
and meat" on a farm, you'd better
stay right where you are and dig po-
tatoes, than enter the city and go to
the workhouse and peck rock. Stick
to dad; and stay on the farm. You
are worth more to yourself, to your
neighbors, to the State and country
at large, than all the one horse NUT
ton head professional men" that are
living from hand to mouth in the
State. You stick to the plow, the
mower, the reaper; freeze to that
farm like a Ayblister to a negro's lip;
raise corn, wheat, oats, hay, rye, bar
ley, beans, potatoes, chop wood, mend
rails, burn brush, curry mules, feed
oxen, raise stock, and instead of
hanging around the street corners,
dependent upon lunch houses to keep
sand in your 7aw, you'll be at home
upon your farm living life of indie
pendent happiness, while thousands
Of nice young men, too pretty and
proud to work and too lazy to steal,
will be lighting out cover the hill to
the poor-house," merciless beats and
lazy subjects of utter dependence up
on public charity.
Young man, if you know which
side Of the bread of life the butter is
on, you give up the foolish idea of
going to the city to make a living
for yourself. Twenty-Five acres of
ground and chap like you to till it,
is worth more to the country than
the biggest bank in the city, and the
smartcst capitalists we know of to
run it. You stay where you are
follow the plow, and engineer the
docilo, willing mule that pulls it.
Our word for it, any young, healthy,
stout farmers boy who will give up
his chance of a dead, sure thing" in
life and go to town on an uncertain
ty, is not smart enough to take care
Of himself, and should be arrested
E-,r,!.aaa4 fstes4asl,1rat. ezasylum for q
darned fool. Stay where you are.

A Wayslde Memory.

Under the silver fringes
OF the willow boughs that swang
A glitter in the sunshine,
With frozen jewels strung,
With smouldering fire OF opals.
OF pearl and clIrysoprase,
And the twinkling diamond drops that Gel
The frosty morn ablaze;
Under the swaying willows,
Where the tall green rushes sprang,
The wayside spring Of my childhood
Bubbled and laughed and sang
Bubbled and rippled over,
As the blithe winds came and went;
And dinpled all day in the sunshine
With gurgle Of glad content.
Through chinls in a messy boulder
Its living water purled
With inarticulate whispers
Of the wonderful underworld;
The tall ferns nodded wisely
With every frond and feather
The brown reeds bent to listen,
With all their heads together.
Under the wintry starlight,
And under the summer noon,
It's ceaseless silvery babble
Was set to the self-same tune,
The rushes on its margin
Were the greenest that ever grew
And moss and brake, for its sweet sake,
Were golden through and through.
When the skies were gray with tempest,
And the landscape bleak and bare;
1t seemed like n joyous presence
In the midst OF grief and care;
Like CHEEKY, happy nature
No cloud can overcast,
In Joy or pain, in sun or rain,
ContCntcd to the lust.

Alesson for scandlc Mongcrs.

We would recommend the follow
ing to some of the scandal mongcrs
whom we know:
Scandal mongcrs can learn u lesson
from the story told ofa woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal
Of others, and made confession to
The priest Of what she had done. He
gave her a ripe thistle top and told
her to go in various directions to
scatter the seed one by one. Won
dcring at the penance, she obeyed,
and then returned and told her con-
fcssor. To her amazemeht he bado
her so bask and gather the scattered
seeds; and she objected that it would
bcimpossible; he replied that it would
be still more difficult to gather up
and destroy all the evil reports sho
had circulated about others. Any
thoughtloss, careless child can scatter
u handful of thistle seeds before the
wind in a moment, but the strongest
ind wisest man cannot gather them
again. So the slandercr may scatter
seeds Of discord that no effort can re-
move, and the grave can scarcely
cover.

Here is a slandor from an Euro.

while at Rome, managed to secure
IN invitation to n Court ball, and
while there, was approached by
Prince Humbcrt-now King-who

She did not rise as in etiquette, but
pointing her fan to u vacant chair
near, said: "You must be tired,
Prince; won't you set down and rest

WORKING BOTH WAYS.

When Horatlo Flipper and his
bosom friend, Josiah Clemments, on
the same day, in the same church,
married Augusta Lawton and her
dearest friend, Anathusia Meakim, a
contract was made between the two
couples-a contract entirely indie
pendent of that which in the eye Of
the law they had made when each
answered, 81 WILL" in reply to the
somewhat inquisitive question put
by the clergyman in regard to their
future intentions as to supporting,
loving, and honoring each other. 1t
was this; They bound themselves
that if one family had a son and the
other daughter, that son and daugh,
ter, when they arrived at Il proper
age, should become man and wife.
There was nothing so novel or origi-
nal in such an agreement; If there
had been, the parties to the contract
would never have made it, for they
were neither nuvil nor originel- in
.anything-they were simply maud
lin with romance, and this covenant
was merely the effect Of which strict
attention to novels, lovo-tales and
plays was the cause.
So much by way ofrrologuo. Now
for our story.
Flipper and Clements had died full
of years and govt, and rheumatism,
and left a large fortune to heirwivcs.
They had each left, as we'll, child
llipper u daughter, named Kittie,
Clements Il son named Richard, 9TH

crs, They had been in correspond,

else. The children had now reached
the age of majority, and the mothers
were anxious for the consumation Of
the plan.

"How do you know, my SOM You

ingly.

She was q red-headed abomination
when she was a child, and I'm cCr'

"Oh, Richard!"
"Even if she was rs handsome as
Hobe, wouldn't marry her. I'd feel
disgusted the moment met her, and
so would she, if she had any sense
We'd be introduced, we'd look at each
other, and say to ourselves: "And
this is the person I've got to marry
then we would hate each other"
"Wcll, it seems to me, Dick, that
you might at least wait until you
do see each other before you make
up your mind. This is too sad,'
whined Mrs. Clements; wiping her
eyes with her napkin and not dis
covering her mistake until she rub
