keep away from this door," said a mer-
chant, "and the next boy catch hanging

The boys went away frightened at the
threat OF the angry man. After awhile a
little fellow. wearing ragged Jacket,
came along and stood on the forbidden
ground.
"Move away from there'' exclaimed
the merchant.
The boy remained standing, looking NJ
and down the street.
HE means to steal something" said
the merchant. "I'll fix him /" and
taking up piece of barrel hoop, he
rushed out, seized the boy, and began to
strike him.
"Oh, you are a stubborn little brute %
he said, when the boy struggled, but
made no cutlery. "There, now, if you
come back, you'll get twice as much ~.
The little fellow crossed over to the
opposite side of the street, and stood rub
bling his eyes. He looked so little ard
ragged, so hungry, that the merchant 8
heart smote him for his cruelty.

Often Quoted.

The Youths Companion gives the follow
ing: A letter to an Enali paper from
the grandson OF one of Nelson's aids at
the battle of Trafalgar, gives the true
origin of his famous order TO his squad
ron. The admiral gave the order to
telegraph to the whole fleet, "Nelson ex-
poets every man to do his duty to-day"
1t was found that the word "Nelson''
would require six sets Of flags to be dis
played in succession. Time passed. A
Lieutenant Browne, looking over the
code hook, found that "England" could
be sent up with but one dag, and sug-
gested that the order should run, "Rng-
land expects every man to do his duty"
to which Nelson heartily consented.
Hence the eloquent touch which thrilled
all Britain to the heart, was due TO

sentence which became the rallying cry
for defenders OF the Union during the

the followers of Calhoun, incen sed at the

birthday, issued invitations for state
banquet on the birthday OF JET
ferson. General Andrew jack
son, on opening his invitation,
dryly remarked that the meeting appar
emily WAS intended to celebrate not the
memory OF Jefferson, but the glory OF
Calhoun and his pst hobby of nullifics-
tion. ''I'd like he added, chuckling,
"to send a broadside into him" After a
moments thought, laying down his pipe,
he wrote a courteous note OF refusal, and
begged leave, according to custom, u

carefully considering this matter have
no difficulty in Identifying the object re-
ferred to rs the "Devil fish OF South

fish with projections on each side of the

picks up the Bnchor OF good-sizsd boat

speed ont to sea, very much to the alarm
of the crew.
In the old Peale museum, famous IL
Philadelphia &c years ago, there was a
stuffed skin OF ons taken in the Delsws ere
