Many years ago a poor shepherd-boy,

asked the price.
"For whom do you want it?" asked

boy.
"Then," said the bookseller, eli

The boy, highly pleased with the
proposal, read the Greek text and then
translated it into English. !
"Take the book, my boy" said the
bookseller; "you are welcome to it."
The boy thanked him, clapped the
book under his arm and walked off in
triumph to the pasture to attend the
sheep. :,
Many years afterward that same bow

seller and asked him if he remembered
giving a secondhand Greek Testament
to a poor shepherd-boy one morning. !,
Eyes, I remember it WE'LL" said the
bookseller, land I should like to know;
what became of that boy, for 1 am cer1
tain he has risen to eminence in some
profession or other"
Sir" said the man, '.you see him
before you"
Now, who do you think he was? Rev.,
John Brown, of Haddington, one of the
most eminent authors and commenta+
tors of the Scriptures the world has
ever produced.
1t is a well-known fact that the chill
dren of parents in humble circumstances
often succeed better than the children
of the rich; and their greater success
must arise from their being stimulated
by their scanty means to improve to
the utmost the talents which God has
given them.
To the sons of the pool man, then, !
say, in the words of Solomon: .'The
hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but
the slothful shall be under tribute"
Be industrious, be frugal and attentive
to every duty. To the sons of the rich
I would say: ''He that loveth pleasure
shall be a poor man; and seest thou a
mar diligent in business, he shall stand
before kings; he shall not stand before
mean men."--N. Y. Observer.

Our Young Folks.
TRY AGAIN.

Marcy with the laxen hair
Sat the picture of despair.
Five times six and eight times seven,
Add results, and by eleven
Multiply-oh no, divide-
And I don't know what beside.
oh, this horrid, horrid sum!
Right 1 cannot make it come"
So said Marcy, with a sigh,
Crying: "'TiS no use to try"
Gray-haired grandma, sitting near.
Heard the sigh and saw the tear.
"Margy darling, hither come;
Let me see thy 'horrid sum-"
Scanning all the work she saw
Here a slip and there a flaw.
Why the figures don't agree.
Little maid, thy sore distress
Is the fruit of heedleSsnesS."
"Oh, but grandma. ! ! have tied
Just as hard!" poor Marcy cried;
But the naughty figures go
Somehow always wrong, you know"
Then, to her supreme dismay,
Grandma sponged the work away,
And. for Margy's eyes to read,
Wrote in letters large and plain:
III at first you don't succeed,
Try, and trU, and try again.
When the wise old saw she read,
s0Thank you, grandma dear" she said.
Then with bright and cheerful air
Worked the sum with double care,
And the answcr-happy sight,
Came at last exactly right.
"NOw," the little maiden cried,
Laughing, in her girlish pride,
"Whenmy naughty sums gOwrong,
TRY again shall be my song"

Carrier. Pigeon vs.. Pony.

When at its ordinary speed a carrier
pigeon is supposed to fly somewhat
faster than an express train. The ex-
pertinent which was tried some time
ago of a race from Dover to London be-
tween a pigeon and the Continental
Mail resulted triumphantly for the bird
by somewhere about half an hour; but
then it must be remembered that q

line across country from one point tc
another, thus effecting a considerable
shortening of distances as compared
with the curves and deviations in rail-
roads and ordinary highways. To race

worth, that a pigeon can fly rather
more than double as fast as a pony.
While the four-footed creature was en-
gagged in g%alloping half a mile, the
pigeon completed a mile with eighty
yards to spare. 1t will be generally
thought that the pony should have made
better time; but, of course, it is difficult
to organize a race of this sort so as to
call forth all the speed possessed by the
animal, who never runs s o quickly when
there is nothing in sight to compete
with. 1t was the pace at which they
fly, as well as their small size, which
commended pigeons to the French
during the siege of Paris, as a means OF
taking messages out of the city into the
provinces; and at the present moment .

establishment is u service of trained
pigeons, kept in readiness at all tire

has, in fact, solved the great problem
of flying in a given direction in any
state of the wind, a secret which seems
utterly beyond the reach Of b%alloonists
and Inventors of aerial machines.-Lou,

a musket-load of slugs into the fish,

Scizing upon one Of the piles Of the pier,

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

This is another Of those things that, like
the poor, are always with us; and some
phases of it will undoubtedly cone before
Congress at the session which begins next
week. The Indians now number, it is said,
only 800, 000-the almost Incredibly small
remnant OF the hosts who once Inhabited the
whole continent; ard The past season differs
from most previous years in that The number
was not largely reduced by war There was
only one 1udian war, we buieye, and in that
somc two hundred Apachcs were easily pol
ished of by the United States army. But
the little remnant of q1arier Of Il million
are certainly entitled 10 decent treatment.
Tue kind OF usuge to which they have been
accustomed is admirably exempliied by the
Sioux trouble in which Congress will
probably be asked to take hand.
The Sioux - $1,000 in number - have
a reservation in Dakota $50 miles wide
and 200 long, This lard has now become
valuable to white settlers, and the Sioux
have more than they want or can use Con.
gross proposed to buy 100000 acres Of
their land but when the bill was looked
into it was found to be a gigantic swlndlc
1t arranged 10 take these valuable lands and
pay for them in cattle without n fixed price,
and to give them also educational privileges,
which were voted to them in 1868 but were
never bestowed. These lands are actually
worth at the least about $4,000, 000, and it
was arranged to grab them without, actual
rccompensc.
That is Just the way the Indians Lave been
treated for century past, and it is no won
der that the result has been the rcyrr.e of
satisfactory. The govcrnuea, has recently
adopted humane aud c)mmon-sense policy
in It's dealings with its wards. 1t is endeav-
oring 10 maze the Indian citizen of the
United States and to treat him like one, 1t
lie trying to make him capable of selr-slpport
by irstruc,ing him in those occupations of
CIVILIZED life for which he is best fitted
teaching him how to manage farms, 10
conduct stock-raising, etc., and at the same
time instructing him in the rudimen,.
OF the simpler industrial and mechanical
arts, with the ordinary branches Of a com.
mon school education. This is the true. the
enlightened policy. and there is no doubt
that in the course of time it will lead to the
most gratifying results. Every Lumanitar-
ian will hope that the government will con.
tinuc as it has begun; and that in them can.
time any attempted robbery and Injustice
such as in the case of the Sioux-will he
pippe in the bud.
