What a Factory-Boy Did.

A boys circumstances may be hard,
but if he wastes his time in complain
ing, or suffers himself to be paralyzed,
he will never get beyond them. as the
boy of this story did:
Just above the wharves of Glasgow,
ON the banks of the Clyde, there once
lived a factory-boy, whom I will call
Davie. At the age of ten he entered a
cotton-factory as "piecer." He was
employed from six o'clock in the morn
ing till eight at night. His parents were
very poor, and he well knew that his
must be boyhood of very hard labor.
But then and there, in that buzzing fac
tory, he resolved that he would obtain
an education, and become an intelligent
and useful man. With his very first
week wages he purchased Ruddiman's
"Rudiments of Latin He then en-
tered an evening school which met
between the hours of eight and ten.
He paid the expenses of his instruction
out of his own hard earnings.
At the age Of sixteen he could read
Virgil and Horace as readily as the pu-
pills of the English grammar schools.
LAG ueAG .Deyan couIse Vi eeu-lHsCi ue-
ton. He had been advanced in the fac
tory from piecer to spinning jenny.
He brought his books to the factory, and
placing one of them on the Jenny"
with the lesson before him, he divided
his attention between the running OF the
spindles and the rudiments of knowl-
edge. He entered Glasgow University.
He knew that he must work his way;
but he also knew the power of resolu-
ton, and he was willing to make almost
any sacrifice to gain the end. He
worked at cotton-spinning in tue sum-
mer, lived fruga4ly and applied his say
ings to his college studies in the winter.
He completed the allotted course, and
at the close was able to say, with praise
worthy pride: II asever had a farthinag
that I did not earn" That boy was DIR.

How to Save Seed.

The following excellent advice is from
the pen of DR.. G. F. Needham, Wash
ington, D. c., and is alike applicable to
ali sections of the country: How to pre-
vent seed from deteriorating is a most
important question lying at the founda-
ton Of all agricultural and horticultural
prosperity. Natures law is to ''mul-
tiply and replenish." no matter as to
the particular quality, but everything
as to quantity. s.The survival of the
Attest governs the result. But Ma
lures operations are too slow for our
short lives, SO the business of the culti-
vator is to aid mother Nature, and thus
reach the best results in the shortest
periods. IL is a fact too well known
that, ordinarily, crops deteriorate, and
this, for one reason, because the seed
becomes weakened. The story of
g Deere's Improved Lima Beans will
illustrate the idea and explain the
whole paodus operdadi Of saving seed.
Some years ago gardener asked our
MIR. Saunders how he could improve the
Lima bean. He was told to find, if
possible, pod having at least four
beans; the next season to plant the one,
the largest and best of these the next
season to select as before one bean, the
one which not only seemed to the eye
the largest and, best, but the one that
could weigh the most, and then to
pursue this method for several years.
The result we all know is really great
improvement of that delicious vegetable.
One has asked why are our melons SO
inferior nowadays. The answer is that
pains are not taken in saving the seed.
There is variety of musk melons sold
by one of our seedsmen, the Hunter
melon, which illustrates this point. A
Mr.. Hunter received. some years since,
from abroad, seeds Of very choice
melon. These were planted and the
seed of only the very best were saved.
In this manner has the seed been select

Incorrect Talking.

Though the SchOOlmaSter holds his
receptions in almost every nook and
corner of the land, there is great deal
of incorrect talking, even among edu-
Gated people. Bishop Clark gives, in
the New York Ledger, few specimens
of these popular errors OF speech, in the
form of dialogue between a careless
talker and his critical friend:
