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 thinkP" he asked me, in low
voice.
1.-The one at work. should suppose, ~

the window now, does so because he

boyis the most industrious. but l. find in

lit seems to me that neither OF them
is worth very MUCH .~ h.ti4....
"To be sure" came the immediate
answer, "a boy who attended to his
duties at all times would be best; but a
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

"Well," he answered, "some nights
when | am fearfully tired l don't give
up my seat to a young lady, but l can t
bearto see an old woman, no matter
whether she is q lady or not, stand

Those whose behavior is regulated by
such spirit will always be truly
courteous to their elders. 1t is shame
to see half-a-dozen young fellows spring
eagerly up to give a seat to beautiful
girl. when they will not stir for worn,
faded woman, with perhaps a bundle of
cheap sewing in her arms, and who is
not in any case one-tenth part as able to
stand as the bright, healthy young lady.
They agitated the question while ago
in dear old Boston, whether, if every
seat in the street-car was taken, and a
young man should see his mother S
cook enter, he was in courtesy bound
remembering that she was a woman as
well as cook--to rise and give her his
seat. for one do not see why he
should not.
After ALL the truest guide to a court
eous behavior is the promptings of a
kindly and thoughtful spirit, and the
best rule for the government of man
ners is the Golden one. And if our
boys will cultivate the one, and be
guided by the other, they cannot 60 far

Counting Under Difficulties.

A Cleveland CO., gentleman, who ia
fond of story, related to a reporter ,
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 I was bow
there lived near our house, in part of
Cleveland that was then almost in the
woods, maiden lady who was in yerv
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
wemight 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-school with her, an invitation to come
in was given, it was always accepted. The
short and awkward visits made at first
soon gave place to the old-fashioned sit
tingup. One evening several of the young
people came in, and the talk and laugh
ter grew hilarious. 1t was checked in
stantly by heavy 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 lessen 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 a moment shout
of laughter went up, and the supposed
invalid was not slow in finding chat 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 homework. I
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 1
saw the once invalid woman walking as
briskly about as any person of eighty
seven could be expected to do"
