in Maine the other night and was i'll

minister who said: Although not
brothers in the Lord we are brothers
in Republicanism." The jolly lnfidel
said he enjoyed this hugely. In his
political enthusiasm he seems to be
very forgetful of his principles for he
said that Maine would go Republican

he don't believe in at all. lie like

We cannot understand how any
man in whose veins courses something

council, which is really needed, and which
is decently given, fails, of its good effect be-
cause the receivers of it do not properly dis
tinguish between the true advice and inn
proper interference or mischievous med
ding. "a great deal of the outcry against
meddling," says an English reviewer,
"comes from persons who most need some
interference with the swing of their course
of action. How violently indignant are
young people engaged in a course of ex-
element or dissipation, or any career Of
passion or sef-will, at word or hint Of
interference; how jealous of the mere sus-
picion of it; how insolent in thought, and
often in word and act, against the offender
In all headlong doings of any kind, and at
any age, there is the same resentment ut
any sense of external check" 1t is hard to
be advised arightly, especially when ones
own conscience approves of the wisdom
Of the counsel; for none are so bold in
seh-assertion as those who know they
are in the wrong. But that person, old
or young, is wise who weighs advice for
what it is worth, and is at least as ready
to accept and profit by it as to spurn it,
and follow contrary course of action.

A pIrIFUL STORY.

Hungarian papers report peculiarly
two shepherd boys, respectively aged ten
and twelve, near Harrisburg. These lads
were in charge of flock of sheep, turned
out to Craze on some land abutting on the
Harrisburg -Arad Railway, and had been sew
eral times reproved by the watchman sta
toned near their pasturage ground for al
lowing their sheep to stray on the line.
One day recently, just as the Arad express
came in sight, several sheep had wandered
down the embankment, and were in immi-
nent danger of being crushed by the train,
from which, however. they were rescued by
the timely intervention of the watchman in
question, who, as soon as the train had
passed, called up the boys and told them he
would have them severely punished for ne
glecting their duty and his repeated warn
ings. The terrified lads held consultation
as to how they might escape the threatened
penalty, and speedily came to the conclusion
that the best way of getting out of their
scrape was to drown themselves. One of
them had just had new hat, adorned with
Q gay peacock's feather, given to him, which
he sold for thirteen kreutzers to a little
peasant girl, who had been at play with the
boys when the dreadful menace of punish
ment was impaired to them. With the
price of this hat he purchased some small
loaves, and the three children sat down by
the Maros to hold the '' 'Pamona," or death
feast, and this being terminated, the boys
climbed the parapet of the Maros Bridge,
their tiny playmate counted aloud, "One,i
two, three" and at the word three" they
sprang, hand-in- hand, into the river, sink
ing Immediately under the broken ice with
which the surface of the rapid stream was
partially covered.
