Gone! Gone! Gone!

The clock upon the tower of a neigh
boring church tolled forth, slowly and
solemnly, the knell of the departed hour.
AS the last sound died away, Willie, who
was sitting on the carpet at his mother s
feet, lifted his head, and looking earnest
ly in her face, asked
Mother, what did the clock say?"
To me" said his mother, sadly, 1T
seems to say, 'Gone-gone-gone "
" What, mother? what has gomez"
Another hour, my son"
"What is an hour, mother ?"
" A white-winged messenger from our
Father in heaven sent by him to inquire
of you, of me, what we are doing what
we are saying, what we are thinking and
feeling
Where is it gone, mother?"
Back to him who sent it, bearing on
its wings, that were so pure and white
wnen it came, a record of all our thoughts,
works, and deeds while it was with us.
We're they all such as our Father could
receive with a smile OF appreciation ?"

Knowledge Saved Him.

We knew wise teacher who used to
inspire his scholars with an intense thirst
for knowledge, and stimulate them by
the assurance that some emergency
would make profitable any kind of knowi-
edge that they might acquire. There is
scarcely any kind Of knowledge that may
not some day be Of special service. An
anecdote of Hugh Miller, the Scotch
geologist, illustrates this fact. In his
boyhood he once saved his life by a
knowledge of rocks which an ordinary
boy would not have acquired.
Having lost his father early in life, he
received rather scanty school educa-
ton. But being careful reader and q
sharp observer, he educated himself. His
daring, courage, and fondness for the
cliffs Of Cromarty, made him skilful
climber, and many were the hold feats he
performed, along precipices where no
companion would follow.
On one occasion he had climbed a
lofty cliff for a famous ravens nest. He
came within six or eight feet of the prize,
when he noticed that the smooth rock
which sloped to it glistened in the sun.
He examined it more closely, and saw
that it was chlorite, rock too slippery
to allow any foothold. He did not risk
the descent, knowing the peril
Five years later, famous cragsman
reached the same point. Knowing moth
ing Of chlorite, he ventured on the smooth
rock, and in an instant was shot over the
precipice. His remains were found on
the rocks beneath YOuth's CINNAMON.

proud were Mr.. and Mrs. Redcomb, the
first time they walked out with their
brood, nor can stop to explain how they
raised their first chickens. 1 will only
tell what happened one bright June day.
| do not know hoaV it happened, but
Topsy and Billy went out together for a
snort walk, after flies or worms or grass
hoppers, and left the twelve chicks in
in the nest. While they were gone the
barn door blew together and they could
not get back to their nest. The dozen
little ones chirped and cried till they
were hoarse but Topsy did not come.
A strange white hairy creature came
just then and brooded over them. Its
fur seemed so much like their mother
warm breast that they stopped crying
tucked their heads under each others
wings and went to sleep. They slept all
night and in the morning when Mary
came to feed the chickens what do you
think she found know you can't guess.
1t was Tabby the cat. She had lust lost
her whole family of kittens, and hearing
the cries of the chickens, her motherly
heart warmed toward them, and so she
covered them with her soft fur and purred
to sleep.
They never dreamed what sharp teeth
and claws were hidden by that white
warm fur
When Topsy followed Mary into the
barn that morning, wasn't there a row ?
Topsy few at Tabby. Tabby's back went
up. She spit and she snarled at angry
Topsy and claimed her right of possess
ion. Topsy knew the chicks were hers
for didn't she hatch them? Twas a
pitched battle and the poor chicks were
scattered in every direction. At last, the
strong arm of the law settled the matter
Tom, the hired man seized poor kitty,
carried her to the house and gave Topsy
her chicks. Topsy clucked. Billy clap
ped his wings and crowed, Women rule
here"
From neighboring barn-yard came
the answer, $50 they do here" And a
chorus from all the yards around echoed,
" So they do everywhere. Billy, Topsy
and the dozen chickens lived happy ever
after, or at least till thanksgiving

A little girl addresses the mother Of her pet
kitten.
You need not be looking around at me So
She's my kitten, as much as - kitten, you
know
And I'll take her wherever 1 wish her to go
You know very well that, the day she was found,
If hadn't cried, she'd surely been drowned
And you ought to be thankful she's here safe
and sound
She's only just crying because she's a goose;
I'm not squeezing her-look now-my hands
are quite loose;
And she may as well hush, for it's not any use.
And you may as well get right down and go
way
You're not in the thing we are going to play
And, remember, it isn't your half of the day.
You're forgetting the bargain we made-and so
soonl
In the morning she's mine, and yours all after
noon,
And you couldn't teach her to eat with spoon !
So don't let me hear you give one single new,
Do you know what will happen, right of, if
you do2
She'll be my kitten mornings and afternoons too

Boys Who Succeed.

The head of large business firm in
Boston, who was noted for his keenness
in discerning character, was seated at his
desk one day, when young Irish lad
came up, took off his hat, and smiling,
said: " Do you want boy, sir2"
did not minute ago. But I do
now, and you are the boy" said Mr.. J.
He said afterward that he was COM
pletely captured by the honest, frank,
all-alive face before him. The boy en-
tered his service, rose to be confidential
clerk, and is now a successful merchant.
Thirty years ago Mr.. H., a nursery
man In New York State, left home for a
day or two. 1t was rainy weather, and
not the season for sales, but a customer
arrived from distance, tied up his horse
and went into the kitchen of the farm
house, where two lads were cracking nuts.
Mr.. H. at home?'
No sir, said the eldest, Joe, ham
merlng at nut.
."When will he be back ?"
" Dunno, sir. Mebbe not for week. 4"
The other boy, Jem, jumped up and
followed the man out. "The men are
not here, but can show you the stock !"
he said, with such a. bright, courteous
manner that the stranger, who was little
irritated, stopped and followed him
through the nursery, examined the trees,
and left his order.
" You have sold the largest bill that I
have had this season, Jem," his father.
greatly pleased, said to him on his re-
tnrn. =.
" I'm sure, said Joe, " I'm as willing
to help as Jem, if I'd thought in time Q
A few years afterward, these two BOYS
were left by their fathers failure and
death with but 5000 or $500 each. Joe
bought an acre or two near home. He
has worked hard, but is still poor, dis
contented man. Jem bought an i'm
migrants ticket to Colorado, hired as a
cattle driver for a couple of years, with
his wages bought land at forty cents an
acre, built himself house, and married.
His herds of cattle are numbered by the
thousand, his land has been cut up for
town lots, and he is ranked as one of the
wealthiest men in the State.
" | might have done like Jem," his
brother said, lately, " if I'd thought in
time. There's as good stuff in me as in
him"
" There's as good stuff in that loaf of
bread as Tin any 1 ever made, said his
wife, "but nobody can eat it. There's
not enough yeast in it." The retort,
though disagreeable, was true. The
quick, wide-awake energy which acts as
leaven in a character is partly natural.
But it can be inculcated by parents and
acquired by boy if he chooses to keep
his eyes open, and to act as promptly and
boldly in every emergency. -Sp1jmqtiezd
