FIRE.--A fire took place at the camp OF
Mr.. Hutchings on Craig's mountain the
past week, and destroyed large tent, blan-
kets, clothing and provisions and several
other articles of value. Judge Clark and
Thos. Harrison were temporarily sojourn-
ing there, and they were the losers of sew
eral pairs of blankets, two overcoats and
vests. A box containing metallic cartridges
had taken fire and the cartridges were ex-
ploding one by one at the time OF the dis
covery of the fire, which rendered it very
dangerous to approach for the purpose Of
saving articles.

We must measure mans strength by
the power of his feelings he subd,es. not
by the power Of those which subdue him.
And hence. composure is often the highest
result Of strength. Did We ever see man
receive fragrant injury. and then reply
calmly? That is man spiritually strong.
Or. did we ever see man in anguish. stand
as If carved out Of solid rock. ms it master
ing himself? Or one bearing hopeless
daily trial remain silent and never tell the
world what cankercd his home peace :
That is strength. We too often mistake
strong feelings for strong character. A
man who bears all before him. before
whose frown Iomestics tremble. and whose
bursts of fury make the children Of the
household quake because he has his way
In all things. we call him a strong man.

his passions that arc strong-hc, mastered

. The following story is true. and must
please as well as counsel our yoln. read.
, crs:
Many years ago. gentleman from tho
town Of Methuen. Mass. while on visit
! 10 prominent merchant in Boston. was
. asked by the merchant if he knew boy in
Methuen that he couI recommend to work
in his store. At first the merchant could
think Of no one. for lie knew none but Il
faithful. honest boy would suit the thrifty
merchant. At length. however. lie called
to mind Il boy OF excellent character in the
ncighbOrhood. but feared lie would hardly
do. as his parents were very poor. and he
had no education or other advantages to
fit him for such Il position.
BtrS the description OF the bows habits
| pleased she merchant SO much that he
handed the gentleman dollar with which,
to pay the boys fare to Boston by stage.
and requested him to send the lad TO the
city. and if. on Il personal interview, lie
should not prove satisfactory. he would
pay his fare back home again. The gentle
man. rs requested. visited the boys par
cn;s. and stating the merchants proposal, |
advised them to send the boy for trial lie
then gave him the dollar which was to pay
his fair to Boston.
Under similar circumstances. 90 ont of
every 100 boys would have said. Now tor
Il good time. never SAW Il city. and never
rode in Il stage. On. there will be SO much
to see. and it will be such Il long ride, and
here is money to pay my fire.''
Not so with this boy. Putting the money
in his pocket he said to himself:
This is the first dollar ever had. How [
wish could save it 1t is only 25 miles
to Boston. Lean walk there in Il day. Iii
10 IT, and save my dollir.'' s
Ills mother patched up his clothes as I
we'll us she could, and early next morning t
he little fellow parted with his parents at I
he door Of their humble home. and set
'nt on his long tramp to the great city.
Which he reached tired and dusty, little
'efore sunset. He found the merchant
who sternly asked: |
where have you been all day: The
tagc came in hours ago.
The boy thought he had displeased the
merchant at the outset. and with downcast
yes and tremulous voice. he answered:
Il did not come on the stage. sir.''
'Did not come on the stage! What do
'ou mean? Didn't send you money to
'ay your f:lre:''
The boy thought it was all ND with him.

Placing his hand gently upon the bows

Then turning to Il bystander. he remark

his boy today
