A Brave Boy.

Evvie jerome is little New York
boy who is spending the summer at
Bath, Long Island. There is beau
tiful shelving beach at this place, and
the children have good times there
wading in the surf, digging i'll the sand,
and building mimic bridges and forts
with snowy clam shells.
On Friday, July 9TH, merry group
was playing on the shore as usual,
when suddenly there was a scream of
fright and horror. A great wave had
come rolling in, and had caught and
carried out of sight a sweet little girl.
There was not man within reach.
The ladies were paralyzed with fear
The bright head had gone down under
the dark waters. But there was a boy
there who had the heart and courage
of a man, though he was only seven
years old. He had what many men
have not-the sense to see what ought
to Ice done, and the will to do it quick
ly. Evvie jerome caught hold of the
literope, and by wading and swim
ming reached the place where the lit
tie girl had gone under. The specta-
tors watching the young hero saw him
dive. Up he came, dragging the child
with him. Clinging to her with one
hand, and to the friendly rope with the
other, he brought her, half-drOwned
but safe, to her mothers arms.

Mary's little lamb is now called upon
to hide its diminished head. An En-
glish miller keeps flock of geese that
are so devotedly attached to him that
they have on many occasions followed
him mile to the village, where he
went to transact business, and on a
recent Sunday they followed him to
church. On arrival at the sanctuary
he tried to dismiss them, but they de-
clined to be dismissed and wanted to
follow him in, he was compelled to for
go attendance upon the dispensatiOn of
the gospel and proceed home at the
head of his feathered army, making a
queer procession, which was no doubt
enjoyed far more by the spectators
than by the principal participant.

Wooden Swearing.

A minister once said, II hope, dear
children that you will never let your
lips speak prOfane words. But now
want to tell you about kind of swear
ing which heard good woman speak
about not long ago. She called it
lcOOden Stcearing. It's kind of swear
ing that many people besides children
are given to when they are angry. In
stead of giving vent to their feelings
in oaths, they slam the doors, kick the
chairs, stamp on the floor, throw the
furniture and make all the noise they
possibly can. Isn't this just the same
as swearingi' said she. It's just the
same kind of feeling exactly, only they
do not like TO say those awful words ;
but they force the furniture to make
the noise, and so | call it wooden
swearing hope, dear children, that
you will not do any of this kind of
swearing either. 1t is better to let

1t is sad death There is no COM

There is little doubt that the people

A Story for the Boys.

| once read story in which boy
gave up the happiness of his boyhOOd
and all hope of useful manhood in a
foolish and cowardly way. First, he
overheard the horses, watching him at
his play from under the shady tree,
saying: "POOr boy, he has only two
feet how tired he must get p But
one old circus horse. which had been
turned out TO die, said "Oh, no he
has four feet, but his mother whips
him if he don't walk on his hind legs.
] know how to pity him :" Somehow
the boy began to be ashamed so he
got down on his hands and knees and
tried to walk that way. He was very
tired when he reached home but
though his mother asked him how his
trousers got so muddy and torn, he
only hung his head and would not tell.
One evening when he was out quite
late from going on all fOurs, the bats
were fitting around and he heard them
saying: "POor boy, he has to spend
the best part of his time in bed. At
night, when it is so splendid to be out,
he has to he shut up" And the next
day he heard the crows plying him
because he had to sit at the table and
eat only cooked vituals. So, like the
bats, he staid out nights, and like the
crows, he stole corn and ate carriOn.
OF course, from never walking upright
from creeping about in the darkness
and feeding on the dreadful carrion,
he grew weak and sick and miserable.
But he would not go to his mother and
friends for advice, but took himself off
To the owl, who looked so wise. She
told him all his trouble came of too
much sunlight, and he must put out his
eyes OF he would never he any better.
So ne put out his eyes and sank deeper
in misery.
of course this is made up story,
and we say no boy would he so silly,
but think the man who wrote the
story knew good deal about boys and
their dangers, and that we can study
it, we may think there have been other
boys who have spoiled their lives as
completely as this one, not through
listening to the bats and crows and
owls, but because in the company of
bad men or boys they have been pitied
and laughed at because they did not
Use the vile language nor do the wrong
things that some others say and do
constantly. Then they begin in Il
small way, like the boy getting down
on all tours, and a great many go on
to love darkness and carriOn.
