He sat with his back to a carpenter
shop in the alley, bootblack's kit be-
side him, knees drawn up, and as the
snow squalls came booming along he
had to suspend his reading for the mo-

He was a lad of thirteen, and he was
reading a novel entitled '.Bertha's Sc

stop and spell out, and others he
skipped entirely, but he was deeply in

it took to raise his hand to his red nose
and wipe away the tear there oft sus-
pended.
A fourth-story window in the block
on the other side was cautiously raised,
and a head showed itself ove the sill.

awoke to a realizing sense that every
drop of that water had hit him some
where. He sprang up, rushed this way
and that for a moment, and then un-
.derstanding that he had been made the
victim of a joker he raised his clenched
hand to the open window and ex-
iclaimed:

just previous to the opening of the
Lime-kiln Club meeting Sir Isaac Wal
pole, who had his left shoe off to cool
a b%union, got his foot in the way of
Elder Toots' No. lis, and the, result
was a spirited little affair in which Sir
Isaac had his s roughly used and
the Elder found three of his front teeth
loosened. Blows had scarcely been
exchanged, however, before both old
patriots extended their hands with
words of apology, and while Sir Isaac
fairly begged of the Elder to step on
his buni6h all the rest of the week, the
Elder was earnest in his hope that
Isaac would loosen all the rest of his

WHEN TO REST.

When the sun sink low in the western sky
Their lay the tools or the needle by;
Labor is for the light.
Go wash the hands, and say, with a smile:
81 nave won my rest for a little while;..
Good night, my work-good night7"
Many a trouble a man must bear;
But the day is time for thought and care
The day for watch or fight.
When the key is turned in the store then say
<'To-morrow will be another day;
Worry, good night! good nightr
Anger may meet us the whole day long,
For the good must still resist the wrong,
The true fight for their right;
But oh, when the shadows of evening fall,
The spirit of gentle peace recall,
And say to the wrong: GOOD nightr'
For an hour or two let all thought cease,Y
Be glad in the household joy and peace,
Rejoice in its love and light;
Then sleep. but first with a kind heart say:
For the help you IA given me all the day
Tired hands and feet, good night"
ss'Good night my soul, for / can not know,
While my body sleeps, where thou wilt So
All space and reason %scorning;
But thee may all good angels keep,
And I'LL with holy dreams my sleep,

~ INNER LIGHT.
IN Anecdote Illustrating the Strength Of
tho Old Quaker Faith.

IAN <AuCCOOCo illustrating the SCrenGCn OK
the Old Quaker Faith.
The devout members of the Society of
Friends have a firm faith in their doc
trine of the elmer light" What to
others might seem only q notion, or a
whim, is regarded by them as an '4im-
PRESTON" which intimates a duty to, be
done.
In the biography of Alaric Watts, an
English minor poet, the author, his son.,
relates al anecdote of his grandmother
which illustrates the strength Of the old
Quaker faith.
An officer of the English navy and his
wife strayed into a Quaker meeting
house. What they saw and heard o
impressed them that they both joined.
the Society. The officer resigned his,
commission, and refused to accept his
share of q sum of prize-money. The
wife encountered the displeasure Of her
own family, a1id both settled in a small
cottage, Living a retired life.
One evening, at the close of the year,
just as supper had been finished, the.
poets mother-in-law, a widow, babe. her
children put up in a basket a supply of
cold meat, bread, butter, cheese and a
bottle of homemade wine: When they
had obeyed her, she surprised them by
announcing that she was going to. carry
the basket to the officers cottage, sew
eral miles away.
She started on her walk, sure that it
was her duty to heed the strange i'm;
preston which had rested on her mind.
On reaching the cottage, her courage
began to fail her, as she had but little
intercourse with the officer and his wife,
and did not know but they would resent
her intrusion.
But true to her faith, she summoned
courage and knocked The door was
open, and she saw a table laid for sup
per, but no food upon it.
II have come to take my supper with
YOU" she said, depositing her basket
on the table. The cottagers looked at
each other, and burst into tears.
After they had eaten, tbs story of
their want was told. Gradually they
had exhausted their little capital, until,
on that evening, they were without
food or the money to buy a. An inn
preston had caused them to prepare
the table as usual for their evening
meal, and when the widow knocked.
they were waiting the issue.
Perhaps this was but q coincidence.
But the devoNt mind will see in it the

the raven his food when his yoang
ones cry" and perhaps recall the text:

that fear Him."-Yaath's Compassion.

How Pictures of Many Kinds May b
Made i'm . Tea-Cup. f,
Pictures in . tea-cup? Well, the
idea is not altogether a new one, and!
many of my little friends have, NO
doubt, tried the old-fashioned plan Of
making pictures, or, as 1 think it ID
called, 'telling fortunes" in q tea-cup.
In fact 1 have a friend who is quite re-
nowned for her success as a fortune
teller through her skill in shaking and
tapping a tea-cup until the grounds, or.
tea-leaves, in the bottom of the tea-cup
assume, in a rude way, certain shapes
or forms representing people, animals
and various other images which sho
processes to understand as referring in
some way to the person whose fortune
she happens to be telling at the time.
I was present once when she told, in
this way, the fortune of a young lady.
The prophecy and the method of TAX
ing it seemed to me to be very vague;
but the gist of it all was, thatin ashort
time a young gentleman of extremely
progressing appearance would arrive,
and that he was, in some UNI
explained way, to exert a powerful
influence on the future prospects of the
young lady. Wishing to iscoverw what
there was in the cup to warrant such a
forecast, 1 obtained possession of it
without being observed. In the bottom
of'the cup | saw that the tea-leaves had
assumed form which, with a little aid
OF the imagination, might be accepted
as resembling a very spare. delicate
and altogether dilapidated young man.
With the aid of a teaspoon, and using
a few other grounds or leaves that
were lying on the bottom of the cup, I
quickly changed the young man into a
most disreputable-looking old tramp,
with a big bundle on his back, and
accompanied by a ferocious-looking
bulldog. Then l awaited the result.
Presently the young lady whose fortune
had been foretold TOOK up the cup, with
"a blush of pleasure, to examine its con-
tents. The moment she saw the dread
full figure of the old tramp, she ex-
claimeds ''What a horrid old fright!'.
Then there was a great commotion,
which was only quelled when I
acknowledged my guilt. But I had
learned something, which was that,
with a little management, and a tea
spoon, pictures of many kinds could be
made u a tea-cup.-C. @. Ward, IN st.

She read this over two or three times.
and was beginning to feel quite pleased
with herself in the character of self

suddenly happened to ask herself how
he would receive her note. Probably.
after reading it, he would say, with .
complacent smirk:
"Poor fool, how she adores nae.

And then he would saunter into the
garden with negligent ease, and after
receiving her penitent confession, for

renew the engagement. Horrible!
And Miss Dorothy threw the letter into
the CRATE and left the room.
Mike saw the episode of the letter,
and concluded he would look at it more
closely, so he paved it out of the CRATE
and began to examine it. Something
in the way the paper was twisted struck
his latent sense of humor, and with q
sudden accession of youthful spirits he
began to worry and chase it around the
room. Finally, becoming tired of this
sport, he jumped up OF the window-sill
to rest from his arduous labors. The
paper, however, stuck to his claws and
went up with him. This annoyed him,
and he began to claw at it, finally being
successful in jerking it off, whence It
flew down into the street. Ned Wad-
ham happened to be passing at this mo-
ment and the note fell directly in front
of him. His heart gave a great bound
as he stopped to pick it up. He scanned
its contents in a moment and then
looked up at the window. Seeing moth
ing there but a rather disreputable
looking tom-cat, he concluded that
Dorothy had thrown the note at him
and hidden herself.
Wild with Joy he rushed into the gar
dem and seeing Dorothy there, fell
down on his knees before her and cried
out:
"Dody, Dody, darling, forgive me.
l was wrong, all wrong. 1t shall be

the walls with rugs If you'll only say

She, imagining that he had taken the
first step, raised him up, threw herself
into his arms, and
draw the veil on what followed, and
will only remark that they never found
out the mistake, compromised on wax
floors, and had no more quarrels.-

U
A Species of the Monkey Family Which
Closely Resembles Man.?

Closely Resembles Man?
The chimpanzee is generally adj
mitted to be the highest species of the
apes, because its anatomy comparesI
more favorably with that of man than
any other of the monkey family. Tho!
adult measures nearly five feet in;
height. Its body is covered with long
b~lackish-brown hair, which is thick
upon the back, but scant upon the fore
part of the body; at the sides of the
head the hair is very long, and hangs:
down in the form of whiskers; the eyes,
are rather small; the lips are thick, and.
admit of great %protrusion. The hands.
and feet are nearly naked, and the,
hairs Of the forearm are directed toward.
the elbow.
The chimpanzee is a native of the
Guinea region of West Africa. 1t has.
only been within the last few years that
living specimens have been exhibited
in this country. Our Geological Gar
dens, Philadelphia, have now two in
teresting individuals Of this species.
Although they are comparatively
young, perhaps not older than six
years, yet they have an extremely an
tiquated appearance. 1 heard a coun-
tryman say to a bystander that he
guessed they were seventy years old,

fondness for an old blanket that he
carries or drags it with him wherever
he goes. Even if he desires to climb
to the extreme top of his cage, the
blanket must go along, although it
greatly retards his progress. He
knows its use, but does not always use
it judiciously. Thus, on an Cypress
lively hot day in July I have seen him
reclining for twenty minutes or more,
entirely enveloped in the blanket, with
the exception of his face, looking at
the spectators with a comical and pout-

The futility Of chasing after happiness,
and the faulty of elinging to sorrow, arc

of the disappointments in life come from
