Sound and SOmnOlency.

A good ear may prove compensation
for the lack of grammatical knowledge.
William King, u former editor of San
Francisco, wrote with remarkable cor
rectness, and occasionally with ele-
gance. He knew so little of grammar
that he could hardly tell verb from u
partlciple or noun from an adjective.
But his good ear saved him from gram
NAUTICAL blunders. If an article "sound-
ed right" he knew it would pass the
critics.
Ono OF Washington's generals, Ben,
jamin Lincoln, had received an inferior
education. While he was Lieutenant
Governor of Massachusetts,, and Col
lector of the Port of Boston, he wrote
essays on commerce, agriculture, and
philosophy. After he had written an
essay, he would haye it read aloud to
him.

HE THOUGHT So.-The man in charge
of the big engine ut the Water Works
realizes that he has curiosity for most
visitors, and when callers express sur
prise and interest he feels pleased. The
other day stranger came in for look
around, and his general makeup salts
fed the engineer that he was a person
of deep thought and man to appre-
ciate the merits iof monster machinery.
The stranger viewed the engine from
every side and angle, and sat down.
Then he reviewed it and took another
rest. Then he walked around the build
ing in wise way and came back for
another inspection. For two long hours
he hardly had his eyes off the ponder
GUS machinery, but was at last ready to
60. Taking one last look he walked
up to the engineer and said:
"Say, mister, this ere epjine runs by
steam, don't it2"
why, of course" was the amazed
answer.
"Well, I thought SO more'n half an

The Drawer is indebted for the fol-
lowing to clerical friend in Alaba ma ::
In one of tho upper counties of South
Carolina there was, before the late war,
an old Scotch Covcnanter Church. The
pulpit in that church Was both antique
and unique. 1t was about the size and
shape of flour barrel, and was eel
waited from the floor about four feet,
and was fastened to the wall. The as
cent to it was by flight Of very narrow
winding steps. Over this pulpit hung
sounding board, concave, and painted
blue, with white stars sprinkled over
it. 1t was intended to represeI the
sideral heavens. Rev. W b
frequently preached in that pulpit.
He was man OF much vigor and en-
thusiasm in his preaching, and would
at times become excited in his delivery
and vehement and violent in his gestic
ulations. On one occasion, while
preaching in that pulpit, he bent for
ward and shouted out, with great force
of voice and energy of action, the
words, The righteous shall stand, but
the wicked shall fall" just as these
words escaped from his lips, the pulpit
broke from its fastenings, and lac fell
out and rolled over on the floor before
his congregation. In an instant he was
on his feet again and said, " Brethren.
l am not kurt, and don't mind the fall
much, but do hate the connection y

A GENTLEMAN.-"Ib beg your pardon"
and with smile and touch OF his hat,
Harry Edmon handed to an old man,
against whom he had accidentally STUN
bled, the cane which he had kncked
from his hand. II hope did not hurt
you. We were playing too roughly"
"Not bit" said the old man cheer
lily. "Boys will be boys, ana it's best
they should be. You didn't harm NO."
I'm glad to hear it," and lifting his
hat again, Harry turned to join the
playmates with whom he had been frol-
licking OF the time of the accident.
"What did you raise yoar hat to that
old fellow for ?" asked his companion,
Charley Gray. Hes only old GILES,
the huckster.
"rhat makes no difference" said
Harry; "tke question is not whether he
ia a gentleman, but whether am one."
FRESH AIR.--I4ive ont of doors as
much as you can. 1t is the place for o
man to be. 1t is good for the health.
A distinguished physician was in the
habit of saying: However bad the
air may be out of doors, it is always
worse in the house." 1t is good for the
temper. People who are always shut
up in house are apt to grow fretful
and peevisb. They are prone to acquire
narrow views Of things and to worry
over trials not worth considering. It
is good for the whole character-for
strength, hope, patience and fortitude.
