Improving Opportunities.

The old pro7erb "Where there's a
will there's a way" finds full illustra-
ton in the life of many eminent Amer
leans. Such men as Henry Clay, Abra-
ham Lincoln and many others have
risen from very humble station to intel
lectual greatness by resolute purpose
TO surmount difficulties. One well &C.
quainted with the early life of e1-Goy.
George s. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,.
Secretary of the Treasury under Gen.
Grant, gives an interesting sketch Of
his early years:
He had little education in the schools,
being obliged to support himself from
the age of 13. While clerk at Groton
he found in the second story Of the
store an old but choice library. This
Was mine of wealth to the boy. He
read during the day, when there were
DO customers. But at 9, when the store
closed, he retired to the library and
read till drowsiness came on. Then he
took little physical exercise to rouse
himself. When he felt sleepy again he
plunged his head into a pail Of water
and, under this new stimulus, was able
to study till late hour. In this way
he acquired valuable knowledge and
discipline, and prepared himself for a
successful career. SeH-educated men
prize the opportunities which young
men trained in the schools often throw

A Sagacious Newfoundland Dog.

A gentleman put marked shilling
under stone by the roadside, first
showing it to his Newfoundland dog.
The gentleman then, with bis friend,
rode for three miles; and then the dog
received his signal from bis master to
return back for the shilling. The dog
turned back; the gentlemen rode home;
but, to their disappointment and sur
prise, the hitherto faithful messenger
did not return during the day. It ap-
peared he had gone to the spot where
the shilling was deposited; but, the
stone being too weighty for his strength
to remove, he had stayed bowling at the
place till two horsemen, riding by, and
attracted by his seeming distress,
stopped to look at him, when one of
them, aighting, removed the stone,
and, seeing the shilling, put it into his
pocket, not conceiving it to be the OBJ
ject Of the dogs search. The dog fol-
lowed their horses for twenty miles, re-
NAMED undisturbed in the room where
they supped, followed the chamber
maid into the bed chamber, and secreted
himself under one of the beds. The
possessor Of the shilling hung his
trousers upon a nail by the bedside;
but when both travellers were asleep the
dog took them in his mouth, and, leap
ing out of the window, left open on ac-
count of the sultry heat, reached his
masters home with his prize; when,
from memoranda in the pocket, every
thing but the shilling was enabled to
be returned to the owner, and the sin
gular circumstance calculated.

Willie and Eva

Willie was as pretty bog as one
would wish to see; a bright, blue-eyed,
dimpIed little fellow IS ever trotted at
mothers side. But Willie had a
dreadful temper. Many a scowl settled
on his bonny brow, and many a harsh
word fell from his pouting lips. Full
Oft did his sister Eva receive blow
from bis hand, which brought the tears
into her gentle eyes. -
One day Willie and she were playing
in the garden, and Willie, having caught
a butterfly, was inpaIing it on sharp
pin, when his sister demonstrated, and
told him it was very cruel; but Willie
only laughed. Then Eva t1ied to reg
cue the poor insect, and Willie, in a
passion, struck her with his little
cleached fist and cut her lips. Then
she LETT him, and, crying bitterly, went
into summe.-house and sobbed her
elf to sleep.
Then old Father Dromio came, and
told her a story. He told her that
once, in far-away land, there lived a
very fierce and cruel giant, who would
torture those he caught, and sometimes
even kill them, and that the people of
that land became very much afraid of
him, and the King offered reward to
any knight who should kill the giant
and lid the country of him.

tried; but all were driven back either

Military Myths.

The growth of military myths is
curious yet familiar phenomenon. Men
vho ace sober and dispassionate enough
L other things, who in the general
business Of Life, or when dealing with
Ea-se-s OF science or events of ordinary
history, take nothing for granted with
cut sufficient evidence, surrender all
critical faculties IS soon as an incident
0: var comes on the scene. The
French, so calm and precise when treat
ing on scientific subjects. are notorious
i untrustworthy when they come to
.-te about military events. Victor
8lgo's romance Of Waterloo was almost
equal II absurdity to Lanartine's &C.
count of the battle, IN which We are
told how Napoleon stood over q shell on
the point OF bursting il order to en-
courage the army, as if the whole army
could see him perform this ridiculous
feat; and how he made his cavalry
he whole of them apparently-dis-
mount and unfasten the curh-chains of
5@ei- horses brides, in order to give a
greater impetus to their charge. Theirs
accounts, also, OF any battles in which
the French were engaged are for the
most par. thoroughly untrustworthy.
But the creation OF myths is not limited
20 the French. We fatter ourselves
that We are a conlmon-sense people, not
given 20 brag and buster: but the way
II which some OF our newspapers talk
aboQr the army is enough to make the
readers ashamed of themselves. A
newspaper, for example, in describing
the arrangements for the Duke OF Con
naIght's marriage, told how that
true soldier, the Red Prince" was sure
to go into raptures Of delight On seeing
our magnificent Horse Guards; as if it
required one to be true soldier in
order not to see that magnifcence does
not consist in a horse being obviously
over-weighted by the long-legged man
who bestrides it. It is an article of faith
wiz most English people that the
French cavalry actually charged our
squares at Waterloo, and were repulsed
at the point Of the bayonet; and We
have been told over and over again that
our troops in thesIndian mutiny went
through the campaign with compressed
lip and flashing eye.-Saturday Re.

4 domestic attempted sef-destruc-

rived on the spot Just in time to save
him, and thereupon ordered another Of
bis nan-seryants to keep an eye on the
vould-be suicide, and prevent him, in
case he should renew the attempt. The
unfortunate servant being unable to
drown himself. although closely watched,
accomplished his desired end by hang
ing. His master, returning. was great
y surprised that the man in charge had
not prevented the rash deed and up
braided him reproachtully, to which he
made reply: Upon my soul, sir, I
thought he had hung himself up to
