"When His Heart Thawed Out!"

One day two or three years ago a
gruff old man, hard-hearted and given
to drink, and living alone in a house
on Grat:ot street, found a crippled. boy
nine or ten years of age crying in front
of his door. 1t was his way to curse
children and drive them away, but in
this instance he spoke kindly to the lad,
and even sympathized with him. For
that once his hardened heart seemed to
thaw out, and men who noticed his
kind action wondered greatly.
By aud by the crippled boy, known
as jake, seemed to grow into the old
mans heart and spent hours with him
at his house. He was, SO far as any
one could remember, the first and only
human being to say kind word for
grutf old Ben.
When the old man fell sick few
weeks ago nobody missed him for sew
eral days. Indeed, no one cared much
whether he was sick or well, but some
one interested himself enough to
discover that the sick man was being
nurscd by the cripple. The days and
nights must have been terribly lonesome
last. The other morning he quietly

Ben was dead. Those. who went in
found the rooms in neat order, the
dead man lying rs if asleep, and the
money to bury him was safe in an old
wallet in the bureau. When they asked
jake about it he explained:
''He died as easy as baby. Long
at first he used to curse and swear about
his sickness, but after while he let me
read the Bible to him, and sometimes ]
saw tears in his eyes"
!'Folks thought him a hard man."
''But he wasn't. When his heart
thawed out he was like child. One
day brought him from the chest lot
of old letters, the photograph of a
woman and baby, and he cred over
them. l guess they were dead, and
guess he had had lots of trouble"
"Did he die easy?"
'Just like going to Sleep" answered
the lad. .'It was just at daylight.

lation of France could read and write.

The ladies of South Carolina are up

The Boston School Board has de-
cided to stock the basement of the Latin
school building with tools of various
sorts, and give such lads as desire it a
technical education.-BoSton Herald.
The poet Whittier has an mistaken
faith in the future of Quakerism. In a
recent letter to friend, he says: "The
central doctrine of ours, the divine in
-wardness and universal light, will yet
be found the stronghold of Christendom,
the sure, safe place from superstition
on the one hand and scientific doubt on
the other.''
The Pittsburgh Methodist Confer
ence at its late session appropriated
over $4,000 to its superannuated minis
ters and the wives of deceased minis
tiers. Several brethren received from its
funds $500. A minister, to become a
claimant on this fund, must have served
twenty years in the ministry, ten OF
which must have been spent in the Pitts
burgh Conference.-Pittsburgh Post.
F.. There is reason to nope that educa,
tion at the public expense will at no dis.
tant day be limited to the branche,
which are necessary to intelligent citi-
zenship, and which may be mastered by
every boy and girl who may enter tho
schools, and that the opportunity to en-.
ter will be afforded to every one in this
broad land. The teachings of expert
ence and the common sense of the peo-
pie will guide legislation rather than
the sophistries of the small and selfish
class of interested persons and the ap-
peals of mischievous demagogues.-St.
Louis Republican.
Here is notable instance of Chris
tian charity. Recently Bishop Fallows,
of the Reformed Episcopal Church, and
a Presbyterian pastor, both of Chicago,
CHANGED to meet in new settlement in
Dakota. They joined in holding serv-
ices on Sunday, a'ter which twenty
six persons expressed desire to organ
ize church. 1t being found that there
were more Congregationalists among
them than of any other sort, these two
representatives of other denominations
agreed in advising the formation of a
Congregational Church. Pledges were
at once taken, amounting to 81, 800, fol
a new building. Chicago Inter OCEAN.

"Well, Huxley says it is all owing to

"Fact. Huxley figures it out in this
way. Now, you know the English are
very fond of roast beef
'.Bat what has that to do with old
maids?"
"Go slow. This genuine English
beef is the best and most nutritious
beef in the world, and it imparts a
beautiful complexion.
"Well, about the old maids"
Eyes, you see the excellence of this
English beef is due exclusively to red
clover. Do you see the point?''
"All but the old maids. They are
still lowering in the shadows"
"Why, don't you see? This red
clover is enriched, sweetened and fruc-
titled by humble bees"
"But where do the old maids come
in?'' said the inquisitive American.
wiping his brow wearily.
"Why, it is as plain as the nose on
your face. The only enemy of the
! pmble bee is the field mouse"
"But what have roast beef, red clo-
VT, humble bees and field mice got to
de, with old maids?'
"Why, you must be very obtuse.
Don't you perceive that the humble bees
would soon become eXterminated by the
fell mice if it were not for"
"Old maidse"
"No, if it were not for cats, and the
old snaids of Old England keep the
country thoroughly stocked up with
cats, and so we can directly trace the
effect of the rosy English complexions
to IL benign cause of English ole

An Iowa man has figured out that
the dogs of that State eat enough an

Minneapolis erected 3,063 build

The most profitable industry of the
new Swedish colony in Aroostook Coun-
ty, Me-, is that of raising potatoes for
the starch factories, of which there are
twenty-six. The largest of these made
last year 1872 tons of starch from 5000
bushels of potatoes. The process OF
starch making is simple, consisting
merely of grinding the potatoes, wash
ing the pulp, and settling the starch in
three vats successfully after it has been
thoroughly washed with clean water to
remove all impurities. Furnace heat is
employed for drying.-Boston Herald.
The city of New York no doubt has
a good deal of wickedness, but it also

cites, 81 special relief societies, II for
eigners' relief societies, SO permanent
relief societies, 9 medical and surgical
relief bodies, Is reformatory institu-

As the, years passed by Towser lost
some of that superabundant vitality
which at first distinguished Linn, and
became more portly and stout, although
he continued bright and active almost
to the last. The family, his family as
he had grown to consider Them. grad
ually scattered-some called home by
death, and others to new spheres asd
foreign lands; until only three of the
once numerous household remained.
At first he felt each departure sadly, es-
pecially in the case of one of his young
masters, to whom he was greatly at
tached, and who died after short and
sudden Illness. For weeks he seemed
to feel that something was wrong, and
searched for him in all his accustomed
haunts, standing sometimes for hours
at the door of a certain office in the
town watching all the passers-by in the
hope of his coming. But after time
he appeared to reconcile himself to
these changes, and to have made up his
min that they were unavoidable, and
in the natural order of things; SO he
quietly accepted the inevitable, and
calmly pursued the even tenor of his
life, no matter what happened. Thun-
der-storms were the only things that
seriously disturbed him; the clement
of the mysterious in them was too much
for him; they were more than he could
fathom; and at the first distant rum
bic of their approach he would seek
refuge in his masters study, or hide in
the darkest room that he could find.
AS he grew old and venerable he ac-
quired Ger. ain position and standing

right living and well doing invariably

all through the neighborhood; and he
even had the honor of having his picture
appear in one of our illustrated period

his masters life and work.
During the past summer it became
evident that he was failing fast, though
he still kept up an interest in all tha.
was going on, and occasionally scented
a rabbit; but they were too active for
him now to catch. One bright sum
shiny October morning he dragged
himself into the study, where during his
latter years he had passed many COM
Portable happy hours dosing upon the
rug. There now he lay all day too weak
and feeble to move or notice any one.
In the evening he was taken to his ken
mel in the barn, and soon the good old
fellow passed away, simply worn out,
not by sickness, but by old age. He
lies under the willow tree down in the
garden; and one of the pleasantest
memories that will cling to US through
life will be that of warm-hearted, af-
fectionate old Towser. Neuin, in
