The Suffering Conductor.

There is no greater display of imbe-
cility in any insane asylum than on
most railroad trains. What wonder,
then, that the conductor occasionally
loses all patience and answers rather
CURLY. Only the other day an old lady
on her way to Montreal, with dozen
bandboxes and bundles, would franti-
cally gather them up every time the
train stopped at q side station, and
rush for the conductor and ask if that
was Montreal, or if she had to oh ange
cars, and every time was told: mo,
no, no; you've got two hundred miles
to go yet; keep your seat" The con-
ductor was growing livid over this con-
tinual vexation, and would probably
have jumped the train and fed in ter
ror, but that junction was reached
where that coach was set off and anoth-
or conductor took his turn at the rack
of torture.
A conductor, who leaves the city in
the morning and returns in the even
ing. got off at small station not far
out the other evening on his return
trip. He was approached by a grim
visaged individual, who addressed him
in q tone that showed he was very much
provoked. ''Say, did you know you
left me this morningP' The conductor
responded pleasantly: mo: did not;
and where were YOUR II was in the
depot here" "Well, my dear sir, you
must recollect that the depot never goes
out. I never load my passengers on
with stretcher. If you want to ride
with me you must climb on the train"
The angry man was, completely nom
plussed, and remarking: Well, that's
So" he turned and walked away, APP
parently satisfied.--Albany argus.

Self.COntrOl.

A boy. aged ten, in a mandatory in
Connecticut. the other day. was caught
by the hand in the strap Of revolving
wheel. The wheel was stopped, but
the boys hand and arm were terribly
mutilated. 1t required at least twenty
minutes to loosen the strap, during
which time the little fellow hung sus-
pended by the torn arm. He uttered
no cutlery, only speaking to say, again
and again:
"Don't worry, father. Dom worry.
1t will all be ght in a minute.''
Another suggestive incident occurred
last summer at one of the great seaside
watering places. A bather was carried
out by the under-tow, and was drown
ing. The men on the beach plunged,
shouting and excited, into the furious
surf, some of them with boots and
clothes on, only to be hurled back ex-
hausted; two were rescued with diff
effort. A lad of thirteen was cool
enough to see that nothing could be
done, even by the most expert swim
mer, unprotected. He went to house
and procured rope. Looping it about
his waist, he swan out to the drowning
man, and reached him in time TO fasten
it about his body before they both sank.
They were easily drawn ashore and
brought to life.
Undoubtedly some children are en-
dowed by Nature with this power of self
control more than others, but much
may be done in childhood to teach it to
them. Look, for example, at the self
restraint and GOODNESS of the Indians
and Quakers. No faculty is more use
full through life than the ability to hold
our emotions and thoughts well in
hand, and to think and act calmly,
sharply and swiftly, under the mostun-
favorable circumstances Youths Com

An English Village Church.

1t was a fine old building, gray-tow-
cred and full of lustrous glass Of the
fifteenth century; the high, old-fash-
Toned pews were rapidly giving place
to new ones, yet enough remained to
give the church that look of permanent
quaintness we had expected. There
were arches of pale-gray stone dividing
the aisles, brass lectern, a fine rood
screen and organ painted in Byzantine
colors; the walls were of hammered
stone, and high up on one, above a
great square pew, was carved and
painted figure holding out at arms
length the helmet, heraldic crest and
arms of certain medieval knight, who,
in Chaucer's day, used to sit in this
corner pew; for four centuries q long
Latin inscription has borne testimony
to his virtues and prowess, while his
bones have lain in the crypt below.
Near some of the windows were vacant
inches which shrine or water font of
old DAYS had filed. There were other
tombs Of medieval date. some with
effigies; indeed, in this, as in most old
churches in Devonshire, the monuments
were quaint and interesting in the ex-
treme. In one the stone figure of

BLUE VOLETS.

Listenl No; you can not hear them:
Never do they make a sound,
All these thousand sweet blue flowers
Starting up from out the ground.
Scattered are they up the hillside,
Hidden In the woodland hooks,
Sprinkled over sunny meadows,
Nestled close BY sparkling brooks.
Where, wonder, have they sprung from?
Do they live in worlds below?
Have they slept the livelong winter
Underneath the soft white snow?
An! II only they had voices,
what strange stories they might tell
OF the land where winsome fairies
With the flowers love to dwell!
Oh, you dainty wee blue fiowersl
Brightest roses June may bring,
But they can not match your sweetness.
Gentle messengers of spring.
