Not to BE Trusted.

Upon going into downtown office
last week. ! saw two boys at work adj
dressing envelopes-or rather one was
at work, while the other. with his pen in
his hand, was looking out of the window.
Their employer was seated near by.
and when he caught my eye he smiled.
Which Of those two boys is the bet
ter workman, and the most valued, do
you thinkpo he asked me, in low
voice.
"The one ut work. should suppose"
| rejoned.
"No, sir; that lad who is Shocking iron,
the window now, does SO because he
thinks there is no harm in it--does it,
you see, under my eyes On the other
hand, while my eyeis on them, the other
boy is the most industr.o Gus, but | find in
my absence he does nothing. So you see
he adds deceit to his fault would not
trust him out of my sight
ut seems to me that neither of them
is worth very much.
"To be sure" came the immediate
answer, ga boy who attended to his
duties at all times would be best; but u
boy who renders eye-service merely,
who can not be trusted to work without
watching, is not TO be tolerated"
The man who had seen this had seen
much of the world; he knew whereof
he spoke, and perhaps some Of our
young readers will profit by his words

tient.

About four o'clock the other day u
bare-headed young woman, with dishev-
eled red hair streaming in the winter
wind, fled like hunted deer down
Fifty-second Street in the neighborhood
of Lexington Avenue. Her left hand
was pressed to her mouth and her right
grasped piece of bright steel. She was
pursued by pale, breathless young man,
who in his hot haste had not stopped to
don either overcoat or hat He was no
match in speed for the fugitive, and no.
body understood his cry OF stop her!
She has my forceps."
Nearing the railroad bridge the young
woman slipped and fell. She was up and
away in moment, but the shock knocked
dentists forceps out of her hand. She
left it where it lay, and the man behind
darted upon it. picked it up and bore it
away in triumph.

Courting Under Difficulties.

A Cleveland (O.) gentleman, who is
fond of a story, related TO reporter a
few days ago an instance of hypochon-
dria which came under his notice when
he was considerably younger than at the
present time. His narrative was some
thing like this: when 1 was a boy
there lived near our house, in part OF
Cleveland that was then almost in the
woods, maiden lady who was in very
poor health In girlhood she was not
strong, and as years advanced she
imagined herself growing more and more
delicate, till at last she took to her bed,
where she afterward remained in daily
expectation of death. Her nerves were
very delicate, and in my school days the
schoolmaster used to warn us urchins to
keep quiet when going by her house, as
we might disturb her if any noise was
made. My youth and boyhood passed.
and with the coming of manhood l dis
covered that young sister of the in
valid was very pretty girl, and when,
after coming home from church or sing
ing-sehool with her, an invitation to come
in was given, 1t was always accepted. The
short and awkward visits made at first
ting up. One evening several of the young
people came in, and the talk and laugh
ter grew hilarious. 1t was checked in
stantly by aheavy thump on the floor in
the room directly overhead, where the
sick woman lay. One warning was
enough, but the frequently of the same
signal afterward tended to lesseh our
respect for it. 1t seems that she kept a
big cane at the side of her bed, and by
rapping with it she indicated her wants
and her displeasure. Finally one night,
after being cautioned several times in the
usual manner without effect; the parlor
door opened suddenly upon the assem-
bled party, and the bed-ridden woman
stood before our eyes holding the awful
cane in hand. 1t was the first time she
had moved in twenty years. Her en-
trance was so sudden that she was able
to give two or three singing blows to
those sitting near her before an escape
could be made. In moment shout
of laughter went up, and the supposed
invalid was not slow in finding that she
was the cause. Her mother and sister
fixed her up with suitable clothes, and
she spent the remainder of the evening
downstairs, and the day following she
went about the family housework |
didn't marry the girl whom courted
under such adverse circumstances. She
in time married and went to Massachu-
sets, and it was only last week that |
saw the once invalid woman walking as
briskly about as any person of eighty

SOME OTHER DAY.


Though all your dreams have been shattered
Your idols been overthrown,
Though all your hopes have been scattered
Like leaves by the tenn pest blown,
Grteve not as il broken hearted
Ter pleasures that come no more,
For the sunshine with which you parted
Some other day will restore.
Though the path that your foot now traces
Has wandered away, no doubt, A.
From the smooth and fiowery places
Where carly You started out:
Though the vessel that bears your treasure
Makes grevously long DELAY, Nat1
Let patience fill up her measure,
And wait-till some other day.
Some other day will be brighter
Than this that is full of gloom,
The clouds in the sky be lighter
The roses In perfect bloom: ~ Z EA#&
And the trials that now perplex ron.
The thorns that beset your way,
Will have no power to vex you.
Perchance, on some other day.
Though now you are passing under
The rod that is harsh. yet kind,
some other day you will wonder
How you could have been so blind
AS not to have seen the token
That on to the eastward lay,
Inc sign or the promise spoken
Al the darkest hour of the day.
For Grief and Joy have their season;
They flourish and then depart;
AND for all these trials the reason

THE heavy frost of last Friday
night did great injury to the corn
crop of northern Iowa and Illinois,
and portions of Minnesota and Wis

the actual amount of damage done,
in some instances the claim being
made that the entire crop is destroy
ed, while Others estimate that the
yield will I've reduced fifty per cent,
but this is far in excess of the loss
in this section. which now proves to
be very slight as compared with
what was feared after the FROST
Even to take it at its best it is IA blow
to the farmers. The season has been
slow, there having been but a limited
amount of the weather necessary to
assist in the proper ripening of the
corn, and this has been the cause of
an increase In the damage done. In
those regions which felt the greatest
severity of the frost there will prob
ably be but little, If any, marketable
corn, but the loss will not be total.
rs 1t will yet make very fair feed. In
this part of the State this failure will
not work the hardship that will he
felt i'm some other sections. as the
farmers have not placed their sole
dependence upon that crop; and while
it may Temporarily check any advance

will be no really serious consequences.
