a few weeks ago q judge i'll an Eastern
town was called out OF his bed one morn
ing by several vigorous raps upon his
door. Hastily dressing himself, he found
upon the steps an uncouth, rou ghIy-clad
boy with an ak over his shoulder, who,
tnrusting his hand into his pantaloons
pocket, drew out small roll, and hand
ing it to Judge H., said:
There's seventy-6ve dollars, which 1
want you to put in the savings bank, ;"
and turned and started away.
The judge, slightly disconnected at the
curious proceedings, scarcely knew what
to say; at length, recovering his wits, he
cried after the boy, stop! come back
here. How did you come by this
money!"
n acorked and ea17aed ii, SIR. My time
was out last night and got my money.
I've got job chopping wood, which I be-
gin this morning, and thought I'd leave
the money here as | went to work, and
then it would not take up my time this
evening, when want to study"
What is your name, my boy?" asked
the judge.
81 wrote it on the paper that I wrap
ped the money up in.'' shouted the little
wood-chopper, as he passed on to his
work.
That boys note for a thousand dollars
due ten years hence would be as good as
gold. If he has his health, he will be
worth double that then. He is beginning
i'll the right way.

Wise College Bows.

Young men, when entering college,
often think themselves wise. They
know what studies are needless, and
what will be helpful. A large part Of
the prescribed course they would gladly
omit as dull and Improbable. Twenty
years later they look back with remorse
on their youthful folly. DR.. James w.
Alexander one of the most acco n plished
scholars OF our country, thus refers in a
letter to his fancied wisdom:
s'I.ike most brainless and self-conceited
boys, undertook to determine that
such studies were of no Importance, and
made this an excuse for neglecting them,
although the wise in every age hav e
united in declaring their utility. I was
foolish enough to suffer almost all my
precious knowledge of classical litera
ture to leak out, and consequently I
found myself a much greater dolt when
was invested with the titles and immuni-
ties Of an A. 3. then when I entered as an
humble freshman"
1t required several years Of hard study
to retrieve his neglect Of the prescribed
studies Young men need to have some
respect for the wisdom which has estab-
lished regular courses of study, and
which has been justified by the expert
ence of centuries.

She Hath Done What She Could

Men and woman standing in their
place. doing their work. trusting in Gods
love and help, grow deeper, soar higher
spread more widely as the years pass.
They do not, perhaps pass for saints. for
they do no extraordinary things. They
do not retire into converts to pass days
in prayer. But everyone comes to homer
and love them more and more; men come
to lean on their strength, take coun-
sci of their experience: they spread light
and peace around them, day by day, and
so cause the Kingdom Of God to come
more and more, simply by doing what
they can. Whenever we do what we can
we Immediately can do more. Like
those who are ascending mountain,
each step, so Insignificant in itself, carries
them on and up, till new scenes opens
before them. They have only to keep
walking on, taking one step at time,
and presently they find themselves rising
above the region of forests, begin to get
glimpses of blue lakes lying below them,
Of the great snow covered fields which
soar upward, pure and cold, into the gilt
tering air; they see the distant ocean,
spotted with white sails, the forest roll
ing its sea of yerdurc far away up to the
pale horizon. So, as we keep doing what
we can, steadily, constantly, life opens
before us, Heaven opens above us, the
world comes around us, rich, varied,
beautiful, and we find ourselves ON great
eminences of thought and love, hardly
knowing how we came there, for we have
been only doing what we could all the
time-no more, no less.-James Freeman
Clarke.

A Boys Struggle With a Deer.

John Kenniff, the fourteen-year-old son
OF keeper in Prospect park, Brooklyn,
scaled the fence around an Enclosure in
winch deer were kept. The grove of
deer was grouped nesr the keepers house,
and as the lad approached taey picked
up their ears, and tho largest of the herd.
a tat buck, stepped out and stared for
kenniff, watching the boy intently. The
boy picked up the thick end of a piece of
rope and threw it at the deer, STARTLING
him little. Then the boy turned, think
ing no more of the animal, and went
along picking up some chestnuts. While
ne was thus engaged, the deer came soft
ly up behind him and goared him with
his antlers IN the right leg, knocking him
down. Then the animal backed off and
started st him again, but young Kenniff
caught him by the antlers with both hands
and held him back. The deer struggled
to get Tree, but the boy maintained bis
grasp, although he was kept off his feet,
beng pushed along by the animal.
When he came near sapiing he quickly
threw out his.handiand steadied himself, so
a to get on his feet. Then fesa ted on
a run backward toward tho keepers
lodge, still keeping the deer's antlers
IN his hands. He ran along crying tor
help. The animal pushed him fast.
When they reached little hillock, at
the foot of which was the house, the bow
fell and began to roll over and over; but
ne kept his hold ON the antlers, fearing
the minute ne let go the deer would run
the sharp prongs through him. The boy
rolled up against the house and there
managed TO get on his feet again. With
one hand holding the deer and the other
against the house, he made his way along
until ne came to the door. He tried to
hit the latch but could not, and there was
no one inside to answer his calls. Then
he let go his hold, made dash for the
enclosure where the hens are kept, and
tried to get over the fence; but the deer
ran upon him and knocked him down.
Then the animal struck him twice in the
face with his antlers, cutting cash near
his right eye and tearing open the flesh
OF the cheek. The lad cried piteously
for help. A boy passing along Flatbush
avenue saw the deer bucking him, and
informed the driver of passing horse
car. The driver and two passengers
scaled the fence and ran at full speed to
the boys assistance. At the sight of
them the deer ran away. The boy was
taken to the city hospital, where his
wounds were dressed,

A True Story Of Il Horse.

A few years ago an officer OF our army
was stationed in Boston. He soon found
that his fine horse Charlie, of which he
was very fond, would be of no use to him
in the city.
So he sent him into the country. In the
pasture there We're several horses; and
among them, one poor, forlorn old horse.
called Paddy, who was constantly leased
and worried by the other more frisky
horses.
When Charlie, who was a superb
animal, arrived, what do you suppose he
did? Did he join the others in torment
ing poor, harmless old Paddy? No, verv
tar from that.
AS soon as he saw how the old horse
was treated, Charlie lost no time in max
ing himself his protector. He guarded
the trough, and would not let the other
horses have drop to drink until PADDY
had had bis full share. They all looked
up to Charlie, and when they found that
old Paddy had such powerful friend.
they gave up their ugly, teasing ways.

with men and boys; the truly brave ones

Some Mems Wives.

81 tell you what it is, said one Of the
coterie of wealthy men who had met in
the office of one of their number, "they
may say what they please about tie use
lessness of modern women, but my wife
has done her share IN securing our sue
cess in life. Every body knows that her
family was aristocratic and exclusive and
all that, and when [ married her she had
never done days work in her life; but
when w. & Co., failed, and [ had to COM
nence at the foot of the hill again, she
dischared the servants, and chose out a
neat little cottage, and did her own
housekeeping until I was better off
again"
''And my wife, said second, twas an
only daughter, caressed and pctted to
death; and everybody said, We'll, if he
will marry a doll like that, he'll make
the greatest mistake of his life;' but
when I came home the first year of our
marriage, sick with the fever, she nursed
me back to health, and I never knew her
to murmur because thought we couldn't
afford any better style or more luxuries."
SWELL, gentlemen" cbimed in third,
Il married smart healthy, pretty girl,
but she was q regular blue-stocking.
She adored Tennyson, doated ON Byron,
read Emerson, and named the first baby
Ralph Waldo, and the second Maud; but
I tell you what 'tis,'' and the speakers
eyes grew suspiciously moist, when we
laid little Maud miner last bed at Auburn,
my poor wife had no remembrance of ne
glect or sitinted motherly care, and the
little dresses that still lie in the locked
drawer were all made by her own hands"

AT WEST POINT.
Twas Commencement eve, and the bathroom

3
Twas Commencement eve, and the ballroom
belle
In her dazzling beauty was mine that night
AS the music dreamily rose and fell,
And the walters whirled in blaze of light
l can see them nowi in the moon beams glance
Across the street on a billowy floor
That rises and falls with the merry dance
10 music that floats in my heart once
more.
A long half hour in the twilight leaves
Of the shrubbery-she, with coauettish face
And dainty arms in their flowing sleeves,
dream of saints and love and lace,
In the splendor there of ner queenly smile,
Through her two bright eyes could see the
glow
VI cathedral windows, as up the aisle
We marched to music's ebb ana flow,
All in dream Of Commencement eve,
remember awkwardly buttoned glove
On the dainty arm in its flowing sleeve.
With broken sentence of hope and love,
But the diamonds that flashed in her wavy
And the beauty that shone in her faultless
face,
Are all recall as ! struggled there
A poor brown fly in a web OF lace
Yet a laughing, coquettish face see,
As the moonlight falls on the pavement
gray,
can hear her laugh in the melody
OF the waltz's music across the way,
And | kept the glove SO dainty and small.
That stole as she slpped her lemonade,
TIL packed it away, think, with all
OF those traps lost in our Northern raid
But never can list to that waltz divine,
With its golden measure of JOY and pain,
But it brings, like the flavor Of some old VINE
10 my heart the warmth ofthe past again,
A short tiirtation-thats all, you know
Some faded flowers, silken tress,
The letters burned up, years ago,
suppose, could she see am manned and old
She would soften the scorn lat was changed
10 hate
WhenI chose the bars of the gray and gold,
And followed the South to its bitter fate
But here's to the lads OF the Northern bluei
And here's to the boys of the Southern gray.
And | would that the Northern star but knew
How the Southern cross is borne to-day
