AN OLD Mans DREAM.-Toiling along
with weary step in the hot sun, an old
man found shade and sat down to rest un
der tree which some kind hand had
planted long years before. Some children
watched him from across the street, won
dering If he had no one to lean on and no
home to 60 to.
The wind whispered so softly through
the branches over head, and the shade
was so cool and refreshing that the old
man slept. He dreamed that he had a
home again, and children played before
the door. He returned from his day $
work as Of yore, and little faces were at
the gate to be kissed, and little voices
cried out in glee. Around his table were
wife and sons, and he sat with them on
the porch as the sun went down, and had
a heart big with thanksgiving. Then his
dream changed. He again sent his sons
TO war, never to see them again, and he
once more stood beside the coffin of his
wife and felt that earth had no more hap
piness for him. In his dream he saw
strangers in his home, strange children al
the gate, and he bebeld himself old and
poor and forsaken. His tears fell, and
when he awoke he was crying out in the
bitterness of his heart:
Il had better be dead for no one soul
on earth cares for me y
He looked down and there was food at
his feet, The ragged old hat which he
had laid aside had been replaced by a
better one, and inside it was a chi|d's
handkerchief and three or four pennies.
Hidden behind the fence across the way
the children noted his amazement and
laughed softly, aud he looked up and
down and failed to find them. He gath
cred up the things with a glad smile, and
as he rose to go he said
Il know not who It was, but an old
man gives them his blessing"
The children watched him as be moved
away with brighter step, as he wiped
away atear.
How little il was, yet how much nearer
Heaven he felt for it!-Lewis.

The KEY TO SUccEss.-O of Well
ington's chief sources ef success was biz
thorough mastery Of details. While il
Spain he gave precise directions how the
soldiers should prepare their food; in India
the miles per day the bulIocks should be
driven that were provided for the army
The equipments Of his troops were cared
for in all their minu,ia, The same OK
actness he introduced iuto his administra
ton Of civil affairs.
From his earliest school days, in every
transaction, this trait Of thoroughness ap
pears. Tho confidence and. unfalterino
devotion he thus inspired unquestionably
secured him his many and decisive victo
ries.
No great commander leaves anything
to chance, but seeks to anticipate every
emergency and to provide for it. Gray
spent seven years in perfscting his "Ele
gy," which you can readily read in seven
minutes. Into it he generously poured
the very ripest scholarship. an intimate
acquaintance with the rules Of rhythm
and an exhaustive study Of the varied ex
oellences Of English and Latin classic,
Every syllable was submitted to closest
scrutiny, the cadence Of the verse was
suited 70 the character Of the thought
every tint toned, every picture perfect, be
fore he suffered his poem to pass into
print. This palace Of thought was no
sing'e,u;ght's work Of slave-genii obeying
the behest Of one holding some magica!
lamp Of Aladdin, but was built up like
coral reef, particle by particle. And this
complete mastery Of detail was secured
only by the most portrscted concentration
Of effort. By resoIuteIy chaining his
thought to his theme, completely surrsn
dering himself to its guidance, the iuexor
able laws Of suggestion ;rresistibly led
him back through the past's, faded and
forgotten scenes in the humble lives ol
the sleeping cottagers until the scenery
and personages Of every picture at last
frightened and breathed before his IN n,al
vision with all the shape'y outlined vivid.

GREELEY's RouaH CRITICISM. Horace
Greeley was not a gentle critic. The
language in which he expressed himself
was apt to be more forcibe than elegant,
bnt the criticism was judcious. He was
discriminating friend TO tho late Bayard
Taylor, who used to say that, rough as
was the journalists criticism, il did him
good.
He once laid gushing rhetorical
poem, which had lately appeared in a
millinery magazine, on NJ. Greeley 5
table. anl waited TO hear bis opinion Of it.
The effort was signed with his initials
only. Presently Greeley called to him.
He was holding the magazine in his
hanl. Pointing to the poem with his
index tinger, he asked:
"Did you write that 2"
Il did, sir" was Taylor's modest re
ply.
Then Mr.. Greeley simply inquired.
"What mskes you print such hog wash
as that 2"
The young poet started 90 his vacation,
not quite certain whether he had been
kicked or blessed BY one Of the best heart
sd men that ever lived.-Bufalo Com

M. Labouchere says: "An old public
servant once gave promising son this
advice: Keep quiet for time, and don't
be in too great a hurry to push yourself
forward, or to advertise yourself. Just do
your work as well as you can, and make
no enemies. People in power will find
you out soon enough, and be only too
glad to avail themselves Of the assistance
you can give them"

Two Boys.-On most Saturday after
moons in the last year Of the first decade
of the present country, two boys, aged
respectively nine and five, might have
been seen playing in the grounds Of
Bloomsbury Square, London. The boys,
both natives Of the square, offered the
most complete contrast to each other in
appearance. The younger, whose head
was profuse With long, black, glossy ring
let's. was a child Of rare Jewish type Of
beauty, and full Of life and activity The
other was grave in demeanor, wore his
hair close cut, and walked and talked and
moved in way which in young people is
called "old fashioned" He was Of pure
English race aud Pdritanical family.
The names Of the children denoted
these differences as much as their ap.
pearances. The one was Benjamin DIS.
raeIi, the other John Newman. Sixty
eigh. years have passed since then, and
much has happened in the meantime, but
nothing more wonderful than that the
handsome little Jew boy should become a
Christian and prime minister Of Protestant
England, and the Puritan lad a Catholic
aud cardinal Of the Holy Roman church.

SauAsDER1NG TlME.-In this place, as
in most other places, boys have great
fondness for lettering about the street, and
stores. Go through the town any even
ing and you. will be surprised, If you have
never given the matter any thought, a,
the large number of boys AMI young men
who make a practice Of squanderng their
evenings, TO say nothing about the days
spent in The same manner.
Squande'ing time IS the sin of the age.
As a rule, the idl., indo'ent boy goes to
the bad. He may haye all the elements
necessary to make FIST class business or
professional man; but if he is not instructed
aud encouraged to form habits Of ofinduslry
he will be failure, almost inevitably.
There is one way this great evil Of squsn.
dering time can be remedied if not alto
gether obviated. Parents must take the
matter in hand-must themselves set the
example Of industry aud frugsliiy, and
must see that their children initiate the
example. Make the home pleasant and
attractive. II the boys love the street or
the loafing place better than the home,
you may rest assured that the homo is
wanting in some important particular.
Provide the boys with interesting reading
matter, and encourage them to earn it.
Permit them to employ their time in any
harmless way that will keep them from
il'eness and protligacy. When you see a
boy or young man willing to trife away
a day, month, or year in doing the
work Of disgusting street .loafer, you
may set it down that it would not take
much to persuade that boy or that young
man to become full fisdged scoundrel.
Teach the boys that no success comes
from squandering time, and that the BIT
ter class Of people have about as high a
regard for real Industrious thief as for
an ignorant, idle loafer. It is in the pow
er Of parents to regulate this matter, and
we hope to see our army Of trifing, loaf
ing young men and boys diminished.
Make the home what it should be and
you have no need to fear the future Of
our boys.-By "Darf"
