A True Man.

1HE character of the future man il
not unfrequcntly seen in the boy. Thi,
unconscious prophecy is noted by
Milton, who says:
''Thc childhood shows the man.
As morning shows the tay."
Wordsworth also expresses the fac,
in the -qnotcd line, 1.-The child il

Dr. Muhlcnbcrg expressed when a lad

Young Muhlenberg was shy and

his classmates to their faces that their

BY the unruly majority with taunts and
threats. "Curries" was one of the in.

sarcasm living in the false charge that
they were trying to curry favor with
the faculty.
For several months the unequal con.
test ran on; the rude students continu-
ally planning tricks against DR.. An

They manfully stood by their princi-
pies. At last the matter was ended by
the sudden death of the Provost. He
heard recitation ut nine O'clock, and
ut a quarter past ten he was corpse.
The unruly students were awed by the
appalling termination, while Mullen.

A Lady's Valuable Seli.possesslon.

known physician in this city was sum-
moned by ring of her door-bcll. Her
husband being away and her servant
girl not being in the house, she an.

door. The visitor asked if tho Doctor
was in. and, being told Of his absence,
asked If he would be in soon. The lady
replied that she thought he would and
invited the stranger to take seat N the
Office. The invitation was accepted and
the lady withdrew to another room, and
sitting down, began to read. Presently,
hearing . noise in her husbands office,
she stepped to the door to find the
stranger roaming about, peering into
drawers and boxes and examining things
generally. Being alone and not daring
to create excitement, she quietly babe
the stranger to resume his seat, and
again withdrew to her own room.
Hardly had she seated herself when she
looked up to see the stranger-who
heretofore had appeared so genteel and
intelligent-staring at her in an idiotic
manner. The lady was about to order
him out Of the house when he asked, in
adriveling whine, If she would give him
q drink Of water. Still hoping to avoid
trouble and willing to humor him to an
extreme, the lady passed to the dining
room to get the water and was followed
closely by her unwelcome companion.
With admirable nerve she deliberately
poured out a glass Of water and gave it
to him, and, after he had taken ! swal-
low, she walked back to her sitting.

features maintained their idiotic expires.

lady sauntered to the opposite side of

Before she had finished the call the

thief-turned about and lied through the

was the only occupant, and the doors Of
which she immediately proceeded to

- Blessed be God, there is some
cloth still made which will not shrink
in the wetting, and some honesty
which holds on under misfortune; but
too often debt is the worst kind of pow
erty, because it breeds deceit. Men do
not like to face their circumstances, and
SO they turn their hacks on the truth.
They try all sorts Of schemes to get out
of their difficulties, and like the Ban
bury tinker, they make three Loles in
the saucepan to mend one. They are
like Pedley. who burned q penny candle
in looking for a farthing. They borrow
Of Peter to pay Paul, and then Peter is
let in for it. At last people fight shy
of them, and say that they are as hon.
est as cat when the meat is out of

dealing is dead, and died without issue.
Too much cunning overdoes its work,
and in the long run there is no craft
which is go wise as simple honesty.

through misfortune the man can't nav,
why, he can't pay, and let him say SO,
and do the honest thing with what little
he has, and kind hearts will feel for
him. 1t is hard to sail over the sea in

out OF difficulties. Let the poor. I'm.

GENERALLY speaking, one of the last
and least Of our anxieties is that we may
live too long. Throughout youth and
maturity the prospect Of longevity is
very apt, to be pleasant, for the thing
itself seem, desirable-far more 50 in
the distance than il at hand. But even
when tits upon Us, with all its burdens
and impotencies, we are prone to cling
to life, ~ va still call it, though it has,
strictly, ceased to be life, having become
mere vegetation. That We should want
to live while we have health, physical
and mental: are in possession of all our
faculties; are able to do some good are
fitted to impart and receive Satisfaction,
is entirely natural and reasonable. But
that the wish should continue after every
thing that should excite it has gone ap-
