Youthful Her0iSm.

4 year ago, in the summer of 1880, q
deed of heroism was performed by a
young lad at Alessandria, in Piedmont,
for which he has just been rewarded in
characteristically Sub-Alpine and
Latin manner. Some children wero
playing upon the bank of the river
Tanaro, when one Of them, boy four
years old, toppled over into the stream,
and, as it CHANGED, at most danger
GUS spot, where practiced swimmers
had already lost their lives. Eduardo
Pozzi, a lad of twelve, who saw the
accident, determined to venture upon
the task of rescue. He knelt down,
made the sign of the cross and jumped
boldly into the raging waters. He was
seized by the torrent, but not until he
had tightly grasped the little boy.
The two were sucked under by the
waters, but rose again to the surface,
and the young hero, with great resolu-
ton and daring, forced his way into
still water, from whence a policemen
drew him to the shore. He fell down
exhausted and unconscious, but kept
firm grip upon the little fellow whom
he had saved.
The king of Italy heard of the deed,
and directed that the silver medal of
the Order of Merit, with his kings
thanks, should be sent to the lit
tie hero. The actual bestowal of the
gift, however, was reserved to the pres
ent year, when the anniversary was
made the occasion of public cere-
monial. The courtyard of the Collegio
Nazionale was adorned with flowers
and banners; the municipal authorities
were convoked; the whole population
was invited to take part in the function;
and Senator Zopp fastened the medal
upon the boys breast, while the mayor
of Alessandria gave him kiss upon his
forehead in the name of the whole
town. When Pozzi was questioned
| bout his deed he said, with touching
modesty: 81 knew that if / were
4 drowned he and | would have gone into
Paradise together" His father, who is
a railway servant, was invited to dinner
by the project, and the sons of that
functionary solemnly divided bread
and salt with the hero of the day, as a
token of perpetual alliance. The father
refused to receive sum of money
which had been collected, London

A Sermon in Rhyme.
II you have a friend worth LOVING

Love him. Yes, and let him know
mat you love him, ere life's evening
hinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words meier be said
OF friend-till he is dead
Ii you hear song that thrills YOU.
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praise long,
Why should one who thrills vour beart
Lack the joy you may impart?
Il you ne II prayer that moves you
BY its humble, pleading tone,
JOIN 1t. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
Inc strength OF 1.-TWO or three" in PRAYER
II silvcry laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share it. IT'S the wise mans saving
For both grief and joy place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.

Leave them. Trust the harvest Giyer

Your life shall never lack friend.

LIES Harvest.

Was it not said by some great sage
That life is an unwritten page?
We write our fate; and when old age
Or death comes on,
We drop the pen.
For good or i'll, from day to day,
Each deed we do, each word VIC say,
Makes its impress upon the clay
Which molds the minds
Of other men.
And all our acts and words are seeds
Sown DER the past, whence future deeds
Spring up, to form or wheat or weeds;
And as we've sown
So reap we then.

The location of the town Of Colfax
has become matter of some con-
ceru, inasIDuch as, the heirs OF Cal
boun are unable to make titles with
out survey, Mr.. Bringhurst made
a survey many years ago, and the lots
sold here have been sold III accor
dance with that survey. Now comes
Elk Judge A. v. Ragan and at the
request Of few of the citizens here,
attempts to .un out the original
Bringhurst survey and designate the
same from some certain point on the
United States survey. The people
who live here and-have interests here
seem to be much dissatisfied with
Judge Ragan's experiments SO far.
1t appears that when the lines
were first run out for the town OF
Coifax, while the place was not des-
ignated in accordance With any vi
the old surveys; yet land marks were
established, which are now in exist
ence. Judge Raglan knows where
those land mark are but he appears to
be ignorant of the proper bearings
This being the case We cannot under
stand how the Judge can designate
the Bringhurst survey.
MIR. Lane desires to have the place
properly and automatically laid OF
and designated and towards that end
is willing to contribute his prorata
Many of the citizens here have the
same detire and will also contribute
and Mr.. Bringhurt being the onl,
surveyor who is known to be in pos
session of the requisite field notes
we are of opinion that he should b.
employed'to locate the town.
