A BRIGHT Boys HAPPY THOUGHT
Hartford letter to Springfield Republican,
That was pretty bright thought Of one OF
the Battersons, who, when employed some
years since as lad in al Office in New
York, was sent to present bin to shaky
concern, with orders to collect it at all baz-
ards. After much urging the head OF the
debtoI-hou<e gave him a check for $500, the
amount OF the BILL. HurrYing to the bank
at which it was payable, tao lad presented
the check, only to be told, "Not enough
funds to meet it." " How much is the
account short?" was the boys quick re-
tort. "Seven dollars, said the teller. 1t
lacked but minute or two OF O'Clock, and
the teller was about to close the door on the
boy, when the latter suddenly pulled 81
from his own pocket, and pushing it over
with deposit check said. Put that to the
credit Of - & Co.," the parties who had
given the check. The teller did so, when
the lad at once presented the check for $500,
and drawing the full amount thereof went
back to his EMPLOYERS in triumph. But, as
he puts it, ''-.& Co., who failed the very
next day, were hopping mad when they
found they had no funds in their bank"

Eliza Jane was not one to quail before
mouse or man, and he tried to lift his
thoughts above personal feeling and be
absorbed in duty.
He was succeeding well in cu]tivating
this frame of mind, and his marriage
was at hand, when he got note from
his Uncle Marsh telling him that Harry
was very i'll, and would not be able to
come to his wedding. -
Peletiah felt that he could not leave
America without saying goodbye to his
friends in Bliss, so he took couple OF
days from his brief time in the country
to run up and see them. He charged
Eliza Jane to write if any thing should
delay him over one day, and set off. But
what was his grief to find Harry not
only dangerously i'll, but i'll with the
smallpox.
Now, Mr.. Merit was no coward in
any sense; he saw that his uncle was
harrassed and worn, and found it hard
to obtain a proper nurse, so he wrote a
brief note to Eliza Jane, and manfully
walked up stairs into the sick-room.
He could have groaned at the vision
that met him; by the bedside stood Lou
Grant, pale, but more lovely than ever
in her nurses cap and apron, coaxing
something in a spoon down the delirious
patients throat She looked up, half
smiled, and said simply
"You see, | am gong to marry him
when he gets we'll"
Peletiah dropped into the nearest
chair. This girl who shrieked and
trembled at mouse Voluntarily ex.
posed herself. to loathsome and dan.
gerous disease! disease beside which
wild beasts and savages took lowerrank
Peletiah was Inundated now into the
dust. But what were his further senti
ments when two days after he received
a brief letter from Eliza Jane command
ing him to send her no more letters, lest
she should catch SMALLPOX, and init.
mating in good set terms that he had nc
business to expose his life thus, when he
was engaged to marry her. s ~
Peletiah was disguised. This indeed
was cowardice; but his carnal heart
gave little jump Of relief at the pros.
pect in store.
He nursed Harry, with Lou Grants
aid, through long weeks of danger and
recovery; neither of them took the dis
ease, and when about Christmas-time
he figured as officiating clergyman al
Lou Grants and Harry's wedding, his
smiles were not decreased by the knowl.
edge that Eliza Jane had already mar.
ried another man.
In due time Peletiah found his better
half, and went happily to Africa, where
he lives and labors yet, and is both loved
and respected.
And his wife finds him singularly pa.
tient with the little whims and weak
nesses common to her, as to all women
for he has found out once for all that 9
woman is not necessarily a coward or q
fool because she is afraid of mouse

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

II might have been, When life is young
And homes are bright. and hearts are strong
To battle with the heartless throng,
When youth and age are far between,
Who hears the words so sadly sung:
1t might have been.
Ii might have been When life is fair,
Youth stands beside the boundleSs sea
That Gibbs and flows increasingly,
And dreams of name ana golden 1aihe'
And who shall limit the To BE
That's dawning there?
II might have been. When life is bright,
And love is in its golden prime,
Youth recks not of the coming night,
Nor dreams that there may be time
When love Will fall or cnahSe, OF uie
EternallY'
II might have been, When time grows gray,
And sDringtides hopes have passed away,
old age looks back on by gone years
Their many wants and doubts and fears;
And through the mist way Is seeh'
The might have been!
II might have been, When age so sad,
Weary of waiting for the fame
That after ALL is but n name.
When life has lost the charm 1t had,
True knowledge makes regret more keeh-
1t might have been!
II miget have been, When youth is dead,
And love that was so false is fled,
when al the mockeries of the past
Have lost their tinsel rags at last,
The one true love is clearly seen
That might have been!
1t might have been, All me. Ali me!
And who shall tell the misery
Of knowing all that life has lost?
BY thinking of the countless cost
Poor comfort can the sad heart CLEAN.
1t might have been'
IL might have been. Nay, rather rest
Relieving what has been is best.
The life whose sun has not yet set
Can find no room for vain regret,
And only folly crowns az queen
It's might have been.

HAwEsvILLE, KY, brags'of man
who doesn't care for dogs at all when
he is sober, but, when he's drunk, has a
mania to own all the dogs in the coun-
try. He will ask neighbor to give
him his dog. If he won't give it, the
man tries to buy it; if the other won't
sell it the first steals it. He had thus
been known to collect $50 dogs in .
weeks spree, and feeds them literally
till he gets sober.
