THE FUTURE.
BY NJ. B,

Thank God we cannot see the road
Our feet must surely tread;
And be but addeth to his load
Who holds the future read.
For if it seemeth paved with gold
And fenced with easy wickets,
How bitter when the ways unfold
wilderness and thickets.
Or, if he make it dark and drear,
And Swallowed DER by sorrow,
he cheats his heart with needless fear.
The sun will shine tomorrow.
The farmer plows and seeds his land,
And prays for warmth and rain.
He knows, though he can't understand,
The seed will grow again.
Aye grow again a hundred fold,
And make the once bare earth
A shining sea of waving gold
A miracle of birth.
The sailor on the painless deep,
A thousand miles from land,
Remembers, ere he falls asleep,
The seas are in His hand.
And that though waves roll mountain high,
And shrieks the angry blast,
The calm will come, the wind will die,
And he'll reach home at last.
So let us learn to bear our part,
And howe'er hard our lot,
Say to our aching, hayward heart,
Be still and murmur not"

He Was Left-Handed.
(From the New York Sun. I

"'Pearances are deceptive" the dri-
yer of New York Third Avenue car re-
marked. "About o'clock last night a
young man hailed the car at Sixteenth
Street, and came forward to smoke CT
gar. He was pale-faced, slender, fop-
| pish, dandy sort of fellow. He wore
one kid glove, and carried the other
glove and dainty little walking stick.
AS he was going to light his second CT
gar, he took two from a little case
mounted in gold, and drawled: 'Dwivah,
see heah, will you take ciga-a-ah? Can
smoke it after hours, you know did
take the cigar, and it was jolly good
one, too.
Sat Grand Street rough fellow with
bull neck and big, brawny fist got
| on and planted himself right next to the
little dandy. Now, thought to myself,
there'n be fun and my little friend is in
for it. The dandy, with his little cane
and his glove in his right hand, was
standing directly behind me, and the
Bowery bully-I had seen him often
| and knew him by sight as an ugly Gus
! tomer-was little to my left.
"'Gi' me cigar my sweet beauty,
said the bully, after he had taken the
measure of the young fellow.
"'Rather unusual proceeding that,
should say drawled the little dandy.
But he handed the rowdy cigar, then
took fresh one himself, lighted it from
over the stump to the bully for light.
"The bully smoked minute, then
made believe that he wished to get of,
and tried to push in between me and the
| little fellow.
"'Git out of the way, will you?' he
growled when the little dandy didn't
stir, & want to git off.
Plenty of woom where you got on,
my dear fellah, answered the little dan.
dy deliberately. 'Weally, my dear boy,
I'm too comfortable to move, you see.
"sOut of the way, I tell you, growled
the bully, COR I'll smash your nose fol
you
"sWeally, that wouldn't be kind, you
know, nor wight nor pwopah, my dear
boy. My nose is Gwecian, and ]
wouldn't like to have it defaced.'
''The little dandy was lounging lazily
against the jamb of the car door, anG
never even Strengthened himself up as
the bully answered:
Take that, then, confound you
| "He struck out with his right fist, fol
lowing with his left, and [ expected te
see the audacious little cuss knocked
into the street. But he just lifted hit
left arm. with the gloved hand, as
| quick as lightning, caught the first blow
on his elbow, and the second just below
| it, then Strengthened out that little arm
of his right from the shoulder, and sent
his dainty little fist like bullet right
| into the fellows face, knocking him com
pletely off his pins. The man reeled
and caught hastily at the iron rods Of
the platform to save himself, but missed
them, and tumbled off the car in hear
on the pavement.
| "'Stop,' said the little dandy, in {
voice as soft as woman's. But I didn'
care to stop just then, so whipped uk
the horses, and the last thing T heari
was some loud swearing half square
behind me.
You see, dwivah, said the little fel
low, busting off one of his gloves witt
the fingers of the other, what an ad
vantage it Weally is to be left-handed.
And then be went on smoking as jaunt
| lily as ever" y as@A

the time, three of whom escaped, though
they were nearly suffocated. The other
two, John MCLEAN and his son John, per,
