SOME OTHER MANS BooTs.--
"How tall would you think i was?'

as they stood chatting on the street
the other night.
"Oh, about five feet sev n inches,"
guessed one.

CHAPTER III.
IN WHICH A YOUNG LADY Is BE-

IN WHICH A YOUNG LADY Is BE-
Saul Jones had q daughter, whose
name was Catharine-as her mother S
name was before her. She was
called Kitty for short. That had
been her mothers pseudonym.
The only remarkable thing about
her juven;lity was that she tore her
pin-a-fores, soiled her dresses, tam
gled her hair, broke her mother's S
China tea cups, wrote bad compo-
sitions at school, and swung on
b~nt saplings, just as all other good
little girls do who live to be heroi-
nes in novels founded on fact" "
Of course her eyes were blue, or
she would never have been a fit
hoerine for a love story. Her hair
was chestnut color, but somewhat
-bleached around the edges.
In her younger days she would run
bare-headed in the sun q great deal
consequently her face became as
freckled as the turkey eggs she
used to bring in from the edge Of
the wood every evening.
AS she grew Older she stald in
doors a great deal more, lost her
freckles, became fair, round and
rosy, and learned to cook bacon
and cabbage, make tarts, pufs and
mincepies, an could manipulate a
pudding. or milk a cow, and her
mother was v>ry proud Of her, and
declared that Kitty was the handtest
girl she ever saw. And always,
when the mother had concluded her
rhapsody, Saul Jones declared that
Kitty was for all the world just like
her mother used to be.
The Deighbors all loved Kitty
very much, and more than q dozen
young men made eyes at her on
Sunday, while they pretended to
be listening to the sermon Of Rev.
Mr.. Putemasleep.
'RoseS are red, u d violets blUc.
Sugars sweet, I'd Kitty too:
Oh, she was Il low ~ maid,
In her pink mus in dress arraycd.'

FRUITS OF ADVERTISING. "A prom

leading cities, who has grown rich
by literally patronizing the printer
gives to their fellow merchant the
following concerning advertising:
"We have for many years studied
the art of advertising, and still

We never knew a man to advertise
his wares literally and steadily that
it did not pay. Yet there are
thousands of manufactures and tens
of thousands of men, having articles
which they declare o1ght to be in
every household N the country

SUCCESSFUL LovE.-Thcre are men
who rise from a low station to q
throne; and it certainly must be a
grand and triumphant sensation
which they experience when first
they sit in the seat of sovereignty,
and feel their brows pressed by the
golden circleL Of command, witt.
the great objects of ambition al.
attained, the struggle up the ascent
to power accomplished and the end
reached for which they. have fought,
and labored, and watch through
uany a weary day and night. But
the exultation of that moment, great
as it may be, is nothing to that
which fills the heart of youth in the
first moment Of successful love.
The new-throned usurper must be
well-nigh weary of repeated
triumphs; for the step to the throne
is but the last of many fatiguing
footballs in the path of ambition.
He, too, must foresee innumcrable
dangers and difficulties around; for
the experience of the past must
teach him that in his race there is
no goal. that the prize is never
really won, that he may have dis
tanced all others, but that he must
still run on. Not so with the lover
in the early hour Of mis- success;
his is the first step in the course of
joy, and the brightest because the
first.
Fresh from all the dreams ofyouth,
it is to him the sweetest ofrealities
unwearied with the bitter task of
experience, he has the capability of
enjoyment as we'll as the expectation
Of repose. The brightness of the
present spreads a veil of misty
light over all that is threatening in
the future; and the we'll Of sweet
waters in the heart seems mex
haustible.

THE FOUR TRUTHS.

There was once an old monk
who was walking through a forest
with a little scholar by his side.
The old man suddenly stopped and
pointed to four plants close at hand
The first was just beginning to peep
above the ground; the second had
rooted itself pretty well into the
earth: the third was q smart shrub;
whilst the fourth and last was a
full-sized tree. Then the old monk
said t. his younger companion :
Pull up the first"
The boy easily pulled it up with
fingers.
Now. pull up the second"
The youth obeyed, but not SO
easily.
"And the third
But the boy had to put forth
all his strength and use both arms
before he succeeded in uprooting it
land now said the master, ''try
your hand upon the fourth"
But 10 the trunk Of the tall tree
grasped in the arms of the youth,
scarcely shook its leaves; and the
little fellow found it impossible to
tear it's roots from the earth. Then
the wise old monk explained to bis
scholar the meaning of the four
trials.
This, my son, is just what hap,
pens with our passions. When
they are very young and weak, one
may by q little watchfulness over
self, and the help of a little self
denial, easily tear them up; but il
we let them cast their roots deep
down into our souls, then no human
power can uproot them-the almigh'
ty hand of the Creator alone can
pluck them out. For this reason.
my child, watch we'll over the first
movements of your soul, and study
by acts Of virtue to keep your pas,
sions in check"

John Smith and Saul Jones were

farmers.
No one in all the county had such

Saul Jones, and no one had such
fine hogs and COWS as Saul Jones,

other at harvest or threshing time,

their farms. Each was man after

A STORY.
HISPROYING 4 FALSEHOOD.
PREFACE.

It is as much the duty of writer's
to correct error as to propagate the
truth.
When an error is newly born it
is very puny and weak; but if left
alone a few years it becomes strong
enough to WELD a bludgeon which
is potent enough to batter the cred
ulity Of the most conscientious Of
men.
The poet has said, in effect, that
Truth would get we'll again if Jef1er-
sons Rock were to fall on her
and smash her as fat as a founder,
while Error will take cold and die
if she breaks the nail off her little
toe.
This is not true. We have seen
Truth, that was as true as sunshine,
too weak to brush away feathers
weight of opposition, and we have
seen Error, grown to be a giant,
stride up a hill, bearing on its
shoulders a whole host Of its anto-
gonists.
A neat artifice of language some
times carries q lie Z .ong way. A
man who is skilled in the. use Of
words may tell a lie which nine out
Of every ten men would fail to de-
tect. Sometimes it is the beauty
of the verbiase, sometimes q
shrewd trick Of double entendre,
that deceives the people. However
that may be, the people are deceiv-
ed, and not half Of them know it
and Of those who do know it not
half know how it is done.
The object of this story and this
preface is to dispose of a fallacy.
Some writer has said tine course
Of true love never yet ran smooth" "
1t is false, and in all probability the
writer's own experience proved its
falsity; but in order to know how
false it is, be pleased to hear a
tale.

HAND AND HEAD 1t has been
the fashion to separate handwork
from headwork, as if the two were
incompatible. One was for laborers
and mechanics, the other for pro.
fessional and literary people one
was for the poor, the other for the
rich. But we are gradually learn
ing that their harmonious union is
The only means of the perfection of
either. Ruskin says truly: "We
want one man to be always think.
ing, and another to be always work.
ing, and we call Que a gentleman
and the other an operator whe, :.
as the workman ought often to b
thinking and the thinker often to
be working, and both shoald be
gentlemen in the best sense. The
mass of society is made up of NOR
bid thinkers and miserable work
ers. 1t is only by labor that thought
can be made healthy, and only by
thought that labor can be made
happy, and the two cannot be sep.
arated with impunity.'
