As we stand by the seashore and
watch the huge wave come in, we
retreat. thinking we will be over
whelmed; soon, however, they flow
back. So with the waves of trouble
in the word; they threaten Us. but
firm resistance makes them break
at our feet.

A mother who had with her O lit-
tie daughter, was examining the fig
ure OF horse on tombstone, and
wondering of what it was an emblem.
There was nothing to explain it in
the inscription. Mamma" said the

haps she died of the nightmare"

GOOD MIR. SPRUE.

tickets, gentlemen!" shouted a man
in blue coat and brass buttons,
with the companys badge on his
coat.
There was q general scramble
for the head of the line, and a hur-
ried falling back to less eligible
places by those who failed to secure
the first.
Ineyer had any luck in gaining
a good place in a, crowd. A tall
man, with high hat, always woRd
20 in between me and whatever
.sigLt was to be seen. If it rained
at the circus, the inevitable fat
woman, with the green umbrella,
always bounded my horizon. In
the rush to hear popular preacher
l have been fortunate CROUCH to get
% camp stool alta far end of the aisle,
bnt most commonly have had to put
up with standing room" in the
third or fourth rank, catching here
and there a glimmer of the scene.
This time Jared as usual. Elbow
ed out at every attempt to gain a
better lod ment, found myself at
last at the extreme end c. the queue.
Hurry mp, I sayl" kept shouting
he in brass and blue.
But in spite Of all the line shorten
ed slowly. l was getting nervous.
The next day was Thanksgiving,
which I bad agreed to spend at Dea-
con Patchin's, between whose
daughter Polly and myself certain
tender negotiations were then in
active progress. To miss the train
involved the choice of either giving
up my visit or waiting several
hours and arriving just in time to
find Polly in the pouts and taking
a longing look at the cold remains
of that especial turkey of whose
growth in fatness Polly's postscript
had kept me from time to time adj
vised.
Hurry up:-3.ess than q minREe
till the gate closes" admonished the
blue and brazen official. as at last
reached the ticket window.
Ticket to Hugginsport," l said,
hurriedly.
Two dollarsl" replied the ticket
man, slapping down his stamp Oh
piece of cardboard with the heel
Of his hand.
I've lost my pocket book" ] ex-
claimed, Withdrawing the hand sent
in search of it.
Here was fix! [ had started
with liberal supply of the one
thing needful for Thanksgiving-at
least so far as material pleasures go
-and here I was without a penny
to pay my fare, and not half a min
ute of spare time.
I looked around helpiessly.
II perceive your embarrassment,
sir, said a grave looking gentleman,
whose white choker and a long
skirt coat left 40 doubt of his calling.
Il perceive your embarrassment,
sir, and shall be happy to relieve
you of it. Get your ticket out of
this, you can hand me the change
and remit the rest"
As he spoke he placed twenty
dollar bill in my hand.
''But. my dear sir" began.
"Pray don't waste any time in
compliments. My name is Rev.
Speetiwell Sprue, of Chapelton, to
! which address you can remit the
irifing sum advanced. I ask no
better guarantee than your counte-
nance"
II accept your favor" I replied,
with warmest thanks. My name
is Hodiah Trimbley, white goods
clerk with Twist & Bobbin, of this

window, with his thumb on the
spripo that held ND the slide.

l. lulC" Nton Dllt. 1IC hdoIk-
ly counted out the change and hand
ed me it and the ticket. The former
I passed to the obliging stranger,
whose hand I had barely time to
press in parting, as I left him wait
ing for another train.
The gateman was in the act of
closing the passage and the last bell
was ringing as I hurried through
and jumped aboard, with views
of human nature considerably ele-
waited by the trusting confidence
shown by the Rev. Speedwell Sprue
though I doubted whether it
would do to sell white goods ON the
same credit system.
From Mr.. Sprue and his childlike
faith my thoughts gradually turned
to Polly Patchin, aud I had already
laid the ground plans of several
fairy cottages, in which. with love
and Polly to lend their charm, /
could have laughed at the proudest
prince in his palace.
"Dickerville!" sang out the con-
ductor. as the whistle blew and the
train slowed up nj the first stopping
place.
Two men with lanterns-it was
night train-came bustling through
the car, scanning the passengers
closely.
"Ha! this looks like him." said
one of them, holding his lantern to
my face.
Fills tue bill exactly!' cried the
other, glancing from me at paper
in his hand.
"Come, sir" he continued, placing
hand roughly on my shoulder.
IF | am not mistaken, it was you
who bought the last ticket fer this
train"
'It was," answered, looking up
astonished.
"And paid for it with a $40 bill, :"
he added, receiving the change"
I acknowledged the fact, but with
no abatement of surprise.
That BILL he proceeded, "was
counterfeit, and we've been tele-
sr"phed to arrest YOU"
endeavored to expos:ulate, and
explained as well as my confusion
would permit. the circumstances
under which l got the note.
"a likely story, was the sneering
comment; there's so many good
MIR. Sprues you see going about
lending money to total strangers.
What did you do with the change,
now?"
Handed it back to Mr.. Sprue,"
/ answered.
GA clever dodge" said one of the
men, as the two exchanged winks.
"Come along!" they commanded,
and without further ceremony I was
hustled from the train, dragged to
n neighboring calabosse and locked
up.
Next morning I was taken before
jolly-looking magistrate whose
face was a guaranty that I should
at least have a fair hearing.
"Well, young gentleman, what
have you to say to this?' he began.
I was proceeding with my story
earnestly, when to my great JOY,
who should enter, but my kind
friend, the Rev. Speedwell Sprue.
in company with stranger of
very different appearance.
"Oh MIR. Sprue, how glad I am to
see you'll" I exclaimed, "a word
from you will clear up this unfor-
tunate affair"
To my great chagrin, Mr.. Sprue,
instead of promptly answering my
appeal, turned aside and quite
ignored my presence. But his
companion promptly stepped for
