Br:cklayer and Parson.

y Manchester curate, walking along a
street in the inner hour passed lot of
hricklayers smoking their pipes, and he
heard one of them say:
Ia ike to he Il rarson. and have
nothing to do but walk along in black
coat and carry Il walking stick in my
hand. and get !, lot Of brass.
There was an approving laugh all
around, whereupon the curate turned
quietly around. and the following con
versation ensued:

How much do You get week.

Well am not I rich man. but | will

The br;cklayer did not like the propos-

he reluctantly followed the parsou down
the alley.
"Where are you going?'

reply.

At this the man drew back. His wife

The Human Ear.

Few people realize what wonderful
delicate structure the human ear really
is. That which we ordinarily designate
so, is after all only the mere outer porch
of series of winding passages which,
like the lobbies of great building, lead
from the outer air into the inner cham
bers. Certain Of these passages are full
of liquid, and their membranes are
stretched, like parchment curtains,
across the corridors at different places,
and can be thrown into vibration or
made to tremble as the head of drum
or the surface of the tambourine does
when struck with stick or the fingers.
Between two of these parchment like
curtains, chain of very small bones ex-
tends, which serves to tighten or relax
these membranes, and to communicate
vibrations to them. In the innermost
place of all, rows of fine thread, called
nerves, stretch, like the strings of a pi-
ano, to the last point to which the trem-
blings or thrillings reach, and pass in
ward to the brain. If these nerves are
destroyed, the power of hearing certain
ly departs, as the power to give out
sounds is lost by piano or violin when
it, strings are en.-Philadelphia

Don't Borrow Trouble.

Don't borrow trouble, nor meet it half way;
Sufficient to all are the ills of to-day;
Misfortunes, reverses and trials may come
Fen those we deem the most happy have
some.
Don't borrow trouble-'twill come soon enough,
With aspect forbidding, habilaments rough
But wait till he's here, and, unheeding his
frown,
Meet boldly the onset and battle it down.
Don't borrow trouble-this debt will remain,
And can only be cancelled by suffering again
The ills we thus borrow by prophetic fears,
Baptizing the record in sorrowing tears.
Don't borrow trouble-it springs in each path,
A harvest that beareth an aftermath
1t planteth itself with plenteous seed,
And is gathered in sorrow by hearts thai
bleed.
Don't borrow trouble !; despair is a cheat,
Sowing seeds for thistles instead of for wheat
All the crop is full one that springs from
his hand,
And the harvesters many, all over the land.
Don't borrow trouble, nor gloomlly weave
A harvest Of tears in shadowy sheave;
But rather come forth from the dark and the
night,
And garner the blossoms that grow in the light.
Don't borrow trouble on hillside and slope
For the climbers who always look upward in
hope,
Bright flowers spring up with heavenly bloom.
Unknown to the realms of despair and gloom.
Don't borrow trouble be sure, in the sky,
The light will burst forth when the clouds
have gone by;
Be hopeful, and brave, and patient, and soon
Will shine out glorious, gladdening noon.

SAVED BY STRATEGY,

"Strange! what can this mean? Is
this stupendous fraud, a trick, OF
what p And DIR. Pomeroy stared most
vacantly at the closely written sheet he
held in his hand. He read:
CDR. Pomeroy, will not apologize
for the unparalleled service am about
to ask OF you; suffice it to say 1 have
heard your history, heard of your strug-
giles, and realize how hard task it is
for one SO young in the profession and
without friends in the great Wilderness
of houses called a city. Also, permit
me to add, / have been informed of the
cruel blow you received from the hand
of one you loved, who was unworthy of
you and yet / am not acquainted with
you, nor you with me- Indeed, we have
never looked upon one another's face.
Nevertheless, I am about to request you
to do me great favor. Will you come
to South Street Church tomorrow at
eight o'clock? Come privately, unat-
tended, and never repeat that which
takes place there. Will you give me,
stranger, lawful claim to your name,
and yet not seek to know whom you
marry? If you will do SO, will max Q
over to you fifty thousand dollars. pay
able to your order at the city bank, as
soon as the ceremony is over. Trusting
that the money will be temptation to
you, shall anxiously await you at the
appointed time"
That was all. There was no sigma
ture-nothing to give any clue to the
writer's address or abode. Indeed, it
was SO terse and so unfeminine in its
details that he was tempted to believe
some of his male friends were playing a
joke on him.
81 will not go--I will not be fooled !'
he said to himself.
He flung the missive down, then he
picked it up, folded it carefully, and
thrust it in his pocket.
He remembered that he had patient
to visit, and went out but everywhere
the contents of that strange letter were
ringing in his ears. He then went to
see his mother. She was suffering even
more than usual, and number of dun.
ming bills had been left to his consider
ation-bills which he had not the most
remote idea how he was to meet. He
threw them down and buried his face
in his hands.
Poverty is curse, mother" he
moaned. ~ do not know which way
to turn"
She tried to cheer him, but in vain.
Everywhere he turned, hopeless chaos
seemed to envelope him.
Sab, if that letter was only real," he
thought. "Fifty thousand dollars
would make me rich"
And SO he fretted and worried until
the appointed hour came-one moment
vowing he would not go near the place,
the next tempted to see the "farce"
out.
Eight o'clock found him stealing in.
He saw two ladies closely yelled, and a
gentleman, standing in the upper part
of the building, while the minister sat
in chair. There was but one gas jet
lighted. and he could but just distin-
guish the forms. AS soon as he entered,
the gentleman spoke to one of the ladies
and she then advanced to meet him.

The Lad and the Man.

As the boy begins, so the man will
end. The lad who speaks with affecta-
tion, and minces foreign tongues that
he does not understand at school, will
be weak chrome in character all his
life; the boy who cheats his teachers
into thinking him devout at chapel will
be the man who will make religion q
trade, and bring Christianity into con-
tempt; and the boy who wins the high
est average by stealing his examination
papers will figure some day as a tricky
politician. The lad who, whether rich
or poor, dull or clever, looks you straight
in the eyes and keeps his answer inside
of the truth, already counts friends who
will last all his life, and holds capital
which will bring him in surer interest
than money.
Then get to the bottom of things.
You see how it is already as to that 1t

that bagged the most game in the

who is to be promoted. Your brilliant,
happy-go-lucky, hit-or-miss fellow
usually turns out the dead weight OF
the fsmily by forty-five. Don't take
