Called the Turn.

Sam is not very pious boy, and the
other day after some of his pranks he
was looking rather rejected.
"What's the matter Sam ?" said one of
his grown up friends.
"Nothin' serious, only dad called the
turn on me while ago"
How did he do that? l hope you
and your father are not running a
game
"Not exactly, but he called the turn
on me just the same"
"How?"

The Boy and the Chain-gang.


They were working right in front of
the hotel at little hamlet in Alabama
the chain-gang. They were nine
Misunderstanding men, each wearing
shackles and having no shame as they
looked into the faces of the strangers
on the veranda. A chain-gang is an
every day sight in the south and few
people waste sympathy upon the justly
punished wretcheS, but all of sudden
something happened in this gang never
to be forgotten. A boy not yet four
teen years old came up with pail of
water, and we saw that he belonged to
the chain-gang. Larceny had sent him
to associate with these villains for
three long years. He looked pale and
broken down, and his shame compelled
him to avert his face as he came up. 1t
was sad sight TO see tot of a boy
like him brought out and degraded and
dIsgraced, and lie felt the situation so
keenly that at the first kind word from
the platform the tears swelled up and
blinded his eyes. There was woman
there from Indiana who walked
straight down to the boy and put her
hand on his head and shed tears with
him. There must have been something
in his look to remind her Of some one
perhaps a son at home OF one under the
sod. Her heart was full of sorrow and
sympathy and her words broke the lad
down. This lasted four five minutes
to the great astonishment and annoy
ance of the armed guard in charge.
The lightning express coming down the
road had just whistled, and the iron
rails were quivering under the ap-
preaching thunder. when the guard
called out:
"Come out young thief, get back after
more waterr'
The woman started back at the
words, dragging the child with her, but
in an instant he broke away, wheeled
and clasped her hand and kissed it, and
then-what? Not hand could have
been lifted to prevent. The express
was laundering up at forty miles an
hour, not intending to stop here, and
the lad turned from the woman whose
kind words had opened the wellsprings
of bis heart, and at the same time hor-
rified him at his situation, and with
one spring he alighted in front of the
locomotive. Next instant his crushed
and mangled body was flung INTO the
roadside ditch, and he had served his
sentence. We picked him up tenderly
and the woman wept over him as they
washed the pale face and folded the

A Business Son.

"Yes, there's heap of difference in
boys" replied the old man, as he tied
up big bag of oats. There's my son
John, for instance. Everybody beats
him In horse trade, swindles him on
watch dicker and leaves him out in
the cold when he farms on shares. He's
good hearted; but theirs no bizness
about him. III had to depend on John
I'd die in the poor house.
He wrestled the bag aside, seized an
other and continued:
"And there's my son Philip-keen as
razor, eyes wide open and 50 sharp
that no man in New Jersey dare offer
him pair of old boots for a $500 boss
for fear of being cheated"
'Is he dead2"
"Yes, he's gone, and that was the
sharpest trick of all. He found he'd
got consumption, and what did he do
but hunt up life insurance agent, take
out $4,000 policy, give his note for
the premium, and come home and fall
off load of hay and run pitchfork
clear through him. Some sons would
have hung on and doctored around and
wanted currant jelly and chicken soup
for eighteen months; but that warn't
Phil No, sir. He didn't even ask for
anything better'n 500 tombstone, and
he said / needn't git that unless the
marble cutter would trade even up for
a blind calf"

He art Secrets.

The man or woman. or whoever
furnished the following on "the hearts
secrets" is entitled to the credit, but
the author is unknown: at is we'll that
no spectators are permitted to catch u
glimpse of our hearts secrets; that the
door is never opened to let anyone
enter to see our unseen ghosts. If we
have our songs in the night our mid
night vigils, we care not that the world
should witness our disappointments
and mishaps. Deep in each hearts un-
dreamed, unsought recesses, lie buried
many a fond idol, many treasure. Our
spectreS stand before us in their dead
form, and we both touch their ICY
hands, press kisses on their cold lips;
they are constantly saunterIng out
from their graves; we sigh and weep
because we cannot clasp their living
presence within our arms. 1t is better
that the world should not know our
hearts secrets. It's bitter scorn, and
its cold pity would bestow little SYM
pathy; it would neither condole nor
sOlace under merciless disappointment
and withered hopes. We mingle in the
whirling throng of human beings, we
cross the broad ocean, we travel
through foreign countries. Who reads
the hearts secrets9 They may be
guessed, conjectured, suspected; but
they are not voluntarily exposed. We
prefer to shut them within the recesses
of our bosons far out of sight"
