Tha Stnnld BOY.

Never set a boy down for stupid be-
cause he does not make a figure at school.
Many of the most celebrated men who
have ever lived have been set down by
some conventional pedagogue as dom
keys. One of the greatest astronomers
OF the age was restored to his father by
the village schoolmaster, with these en-,
couraging words: There's no use pay
ing good money for his education. All
he wants to do is to lie on the grass on
his back and stare at the sky. I'm afraid
his mind is wrong."s Scientific men
have often been flogged for falling into
brown studies over their books, and
many an artist of the future has come to
present grief for drawing all over his
copy book and surreptitiously painting
the pictures of his geography. Your
genius, unless musical, seldom proves
himself one in his childhood, and your
SNUG and self f-suflicient piece of pre-
cocity, who takes all the medals, and is
the show scholar of the school, often
ends by showing no talent for anything
beyond yard stick. Sir Walter Scott
was called stupid as child, and it
was not considered to his credit that he
was fond of "sich trash " as ballads,
and could learn them by heart ut any
time

At q Funny Lecture.

While was lecturing at Washington
l saw lady with an intelligent, pretty
face, and bright, eloquent eyes, that
were rarely lifted toward the speaker,
and then only for flash of time. They
were bent upon her husbands hands
almost constantly. Brilliant and ac-
complished, a fw years ago, she had
gone down into the world of voiceless
silence, and now all the music and all
the speech that comes into her life
comes through the tender devotion of
her husband, and as | talked, watched
him telling off the lecture on his nimble
fingers, while her eager eyes glanced
from them to his sympathetic face. 1t
was pretty picture of devotion. They
were so young to have this cloud
shadow the morning skies of their lives,
but as l glanced from the voiceless wife
to her husband, thought how beauti-
fully the sunlight of his devotion was
breaking through these clouds, and tint
ing even their afflictions with tender
radiance. This discipline of attending
upon suffering is a good thing for a
man. 1t rounds out his life; it develops
his manlier, nObler qualities; it makes
his heart brave and tender and strong as
a BuTdt tte.

Saturday Night in a Kansas Cattle Town.

The dullness which had 80 weighed
upon US through the long, uneventful
afternoon was but a lull, we soon learned,
and not stagnation. With the first ap-
proach of darkness, the lethargic town
rubbed its eyes, SO to speak, and leaped
to its feet-and in atwinkling (it seemed
like an incarnation, Eastman said),
Grand avenue was a carnival of light
and motion and music. The broad
board sidewalks were crowded with
promenaders; smiling groups passed in
and out of the drinking saloons and
gambling places in every quarter glasses
clinked and dice ratified (is there another
sound in the world like that of shaken
diceO; violins, flutes and cornets sent
out eager, inviting strains of waltz and
polka from score or more establish
ments, and brass band was playing
patriotic airs in front of the theater,
where, oddly enough, the crude moral
ity of "Ten Nights in a Bar room "
was about to be presented, with
the full strength of the company in
the cast" Everywhere the cowboys
made themselves manifest, clad now in
the soiled and dingy jeans of the trail,
then in suit of many buttoned cordu-
roy, and again in atfluence of broadcloth.
silk hat, gloves, cane, and sometimes a
clerical white necktie. And everywhere
also stared and shone the Lone Star of
Texas-for the cowboy, wherever he
may wander, never forgets to be
a Texan, and never spends his money
or lends his presence to concern
that does not in some way recognize
the emblem OF his native State; 30
you will see in towns like New Sharon
a general pandering to this sentiment,
and lone stars abound of all sizes
and hues, from the big disfiguring white
one painted on the hotel front down to
the little pink one stitched in silk on
the cowboys shilling handkerchief.
Barring these numerous stars, the rich
lights, and the music, we missed sight
of any special efforts to beguile or entrap
passers- -by-perhaps because we were not
looking for them nor was there for some
hours a sound to reveal the spirit OF
coiled and utter vileness which the
cheerful outside 50 well belied. 1t was,
in the main, much the kind of scene one
would be apt TO conjecture for an
sped on the festivities deepened, and
the jovial aspect of the picture
began to be touched and tinted
with a subtle, rebuking something,
which gradually disclosed the passion
| the crime, the depravity, that really
vivified and swayed it ali and made II
internal. The saloons became clamoTous
with profanity and ribald songs and
laughter. There were no longer any
promenaders on the sidewalks, save once
in while single bleared and stagger-
ing fellow, with difficulty in his clumsy
lips over some such thing as "The Girl
Left Behind Me- Doors were stealthily
CLOSED, window shutters slammed towith
angrycreaks. And at length, as we looked
and listened, the sharp, significant re-
port of pistol, with a shrek behind IL,
was borne toward us from turbulent
dancing hall to certify its tale Of COM
bat and probable homicide, and 10 be
succeeded by close but brief halt in
the noisy quadrille presumably for the
removal of the victim.-HeRTy ktrl9, 90

An Illinois school mistress was un-
able to chastise the biggest girl pupil
and called in a young school trustee to
assist her. The trustee found that the
offender was his own sweetheart, but
his sense of duty triumphed over his
love, and he whipped the girl. Not
only did this result in losing him a
sweetheart, but her father sued him for
damages and got a verdict for $50.

Begging.

Battling with hunger
How many we meet,
FoOtsore and frozen,
Wand'ring the street;
Weary and dreary,
Pleading Tor bread,
Houseless and starving
No rdst Tor the head;
Cold--cold-noihing to eat,
Ragged and shivsring,
Wnnd'ring the street.
Battling with hunger,
Wearisome-sad,.
From morn until eve
Scarce "a bite" to be had;
The outlook all gloom.
Tiudging through snow,
In misery creeping,
Onward they go,
Cold cold-nothing to eat;
Wretohed and hungry,
Wand'ring the street.
Battling with hunger,
Battling Tor bread,
Battling for bare life,
Wishing life sped;
Hearts sadly aching,
Hard in their pain,
Groveling in gutter,
Begging again.
Cold cold wretched and sad;
All alone in the world,
Scarce ga bito' to be had.
Batting with hunger,
Hard is their fate,
Pleading and tramping
Early and late;
On, h-t the prayer
OF the wandering poor,
And don't thrust the beggar
Away from your door.
Cold-cold-out in the rain,
TO exc out living
Beg ing again.
