"He's just too sweet for anything"

Think a Moment. Boys.
Central Christian Advocate.

Boys do a great many thoughtless
and foolish things "for fun" that morti-
fy them very much in the remem-
brarce. To have been caught in some
body's melon patch, or stealing a neigh
boris choice fruit, or taking gate off
its hinges, or crawling under show
mans tert, or playing any kind of
trick to the injury of another, and that
has to be accomplished in sneaking
way, won't seem very smart if you ever
grow to be a man of sense. You will
hate il, and wonder that you could ever
thought it sharp.
Don't fiatter yourself that the worst
thing about mean act Is in being
caught at it or found out. You can't
be low, or vicious, or tricky without
somebody knowing it, and 1t does not
take long for IL good man to find out.
1t takes extraordinary talent and decep-
ton to have coed reputation conceal
ing bad character, and it is never
worth trying for. The way to seem to
be trustworthy is to be trustworthy.
There was never yet boy who was
manly, honest and worthy of confidence
that people did not find him out and
give him his due
You can't afford to trifle with your
reputation. If you descend to indecent
nd immoral conduct you will soil your
character and hurt your prospects, no
matter what your friends may do for
you, or how you may try to conceal
from good people that you do these
things. Just so long as you allow your
self to practice the habits that are con-
demned by pure, upright, straightfor-
ward people of integrity-whether you
do it openly or on the SLY, you will make
no progress in the formation OF fine
character, or in the building up good
reputation. So when you are tempted
to any low, tricky, dishonest, mean or
unworthy act. stop long enough to think
what the effect is going to be upon your
own soul, your own mind, your own
reputation, if that is your strongest mo-
tive, and don't do it.

A Brave Little Girl.
ra!nbrldge lGa.l pemocrat

Mr.. II. +. Saulding has a little daugh-
ter II years old to whose nerve ard
courage he is indebted for the life Of
his 3.year-old boy. The circumstances
were briefly these. The boy was playing
by the cistern in Mr.. Standings yard.
There was plank off, and through
this aperture the little fellow fell. He
caught plank, however, in falling, and
held for some time before he was dis
covered. But his hold weakened, and
with splash he fell into the cistern.
His sister saw and appreciated the stu
alton. Most girls would have screamed
and ran off in quest of help. Not so
with the little girl. The screams and
struggles for life of her baby brother
gave her the courage Of a man. She
saw ladder, and, with all her might,
she dragged it to and placed it into the
cistern, and then went down into the
water, reached out and caught her
brother just in time to save him from
watery grave. BY this time help ar
rived and both were landed safely from
their perilous position. All honor to
this little heroine

CASUALTIES.

SIDNEY, ILL.,, was visited by tornado
on the 18th. In many places the
ground was stripped of fences and every
thing movable, and fine orchards were
torn up like weeds. Three such storms
struck the county last week.
A New YORK dispatch Of the 10Th
says a destructive wind and rain storm
visited this city this afternoon. Trees
were Frustrated, houses unroofed and
plate. glass windows broken. A sail
boat was upset in North river and its
inmates rescued with difficulty. There
was another storm in the evening,
during which the Coney Island steamer
Twilight, crowded with returning excur-
sionists, was run into off the Battery by
the Thomas Collyer, of the same line.
The excitement was great aboard the
Twilight for Il time, but all the passen-
gers were safely landed by the Collyer
The Twilight was badly damaged.
A MINNEAPoLIs special Of the 18th
inst, states that; eleven little girls Of
that city, four of them of one family
and five Of another engaged in string
ing castor-beans for beads, were led 10
eat quantity, One OF the number
finding the taste pleasant, oil the Others
ate more or less Of the beans, and were
soon after taken with spasms ana indica
tions of poisoning, but all save three of The
number were out Of danger before the
night was over, but Sarah, Bertha and
Addic Woods were so badly poisoned
that little hope ~ entertained of then
recovery. The case creates consider
able interest among physicians who
have not encountered similar results
with the castor bean.
