Need of a Home Nes,.


1t has been quantity said, that the
world has for each heart million
roosts, but only one nest. There are
plenty of spots where one may pitch
his tent for single night, plenty Of
inns where he may stop as transient
guest, plenty of houses at which he
may visit for longer or shorter time
but these are Toosts. not nests +; they
lack the nests security. OF any young
man it may be true, that "the most
dangerous weapon he can carry is a

so. For his coming home no mother
is listening, with the whispered prayer
that his step may be steady on the
stair for him no sweet home in1u-
ences are near to help in neutralizing
the power of evil forces outside. His
situation is peculiarly dangerous, yet
it is frequently unavoidable. Life in a
college dormitory is requisite to OBJ
tanning college education, life in a
city boarding house is often necessary
for the yOung clerk, or journalist, or
artisan. What can be done to make it
safer ? Recently in a great city. with
er students of medicine flock by thou
sands annually, a prominent pastor
preached a sermon specially to medical
students. Clear, logical, exactly fitted
to the occasion, it was all that ser
mon could he but the few words OF
personal invitation that followed were
probably worth more to the hundreds
of young men present than all the ser
mon contained. "YOung men," said
the pastor, in substance, 1.-The hands OF

HuummIng-Bird's Umbrella.

In front of a window where ! work
ed last summer was butterndt tree.
A humming- bird built her nest on a
limb that grew near the window. and
we had an opportunity to watch her
closely, as We could look right into the
nest from the window. One day there
was heavy shower coming up, and
we thought we would see if she cover
ed her Young during the storm but
when the first drops fell she came and
took in her bill one of two or three
large leaves growing close to the nest,
and laid this leaf over so it completely
covered the nest then she flew away.
On looking at the leaf we found hole
in it, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked on. After the storm was
over the old bird came back and un-
hooked the leaf, and the nest was per-
fectly dry American Sportsman.

Not Big. But Could Drum.

In June, 1861, when the Tenth rcgi-
ment, Massachusetts, volunteers, was
in camp on IIampden park. Springfield,
preparatory TO going to the front and
Joining the Army of the Potomac, there
came to the camp one day Il bright
eyed, rosy checked boy of ii, and ac-
costing Captain -aftcrward Colonel
Parsons, said that he wanted to enlist.
The Captain, amused at the earnest
ness of the younGster, chatfed him
some and said, "You enlist. Why, you
amt big enough What would you
be good for as soldicrP The boy
replied, 81 know | amt very big, but
I can drum" and entreated the Captain
to let him go in his company. The
Captain persisted that he did not want
him, and saying, "Iour mother would
not let you go,n sent him away. As
the boy turned to go tears of disap-
pointment filled his eyes, and the Cap
tain, as much to temporarily relieve
his grief as anything, said, "Well,
bring over your drum tomorrow and
show what You can do" The next
day over came the boy with his drum,
but this time accompanied ny his
mother. She said the boy seemed de-
tcrmined to go to war. She did not
want To have him do so, but fearing he
would go off with some strange regi-
meut, she was willing he should go il
the Tenth, where she knew there Were
many who knew and would look ont
for him. His drumming proved salts
factory, aud finally, after more parley,
the Captain consented to take him, and
he went out with the regiment, follow
ing its fortunes till the end of its term
of service (three years.. He became
the pet and pride not only of the
Tenth but of other regiments as we'll
and was known throughout the division

Great Railway SwindIes.

The sharp criticism of American
published in the English press just
now, refer mainly to three or -four en-
terprises, of which the two most prom
inent are the Wabash and the Erie.
Under the Jay Gould and James Fisk
regime, judges were corrupted to sign
any orders or issue any injunctions
that the Erie railroad required, and
over 81 500, 900 was expended in brib-
ing the New York Legislature in the
space of two years, as the account
books of the company showed.
In 1867 there was a great struggle
for the possession of the road, and
Chas. F. Adams, Jr., is authority for
the statement that ian individual is
reported to have received 500, 900
from one side to influence legislation,
and to have subsequently received
$4,000 from the other side to disap-
pear with the money" During this
contest, it is believed that $4,000, 000
was stolen from the road and used by
the directors for Illicit purposes
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the
Erie railroad has been practically in
solvent from its inception, and yet Its
shares went up to I25 in 1864, aud
sold above 80 three years ago, though
they were down to IL few years
before that. They are now selling at
