'sThe scholar bought the boots,
clumsy as they were, and has worn them
up to this time.
"WeH, when it was discovered by
other boys of the academy that our
scholar was in the habit of driving a
COW, he was assailed every day with
laughter and ridicule. His cowhide
boots, in particular, were made matter
of mirth. But he kept on cheerfully
and bravely, day after day, never shun-
ming observation, driving the widows
COW and wearing his thick boots, con-
tented in the thought that he was doing
right; not caring for all the sneers and
jeers that could be uttered. He never
undertook to explain why he drove a
COW, for he was not inclined to make "a
vaunt of his charitable motives, and,
furthermore, in his heart he had no SYM
pathy with the false pride that could
look down with ridicule ON any useful
employment. 1t was by mere accident
that his course of kindness and self
denial was discovered by his teacher.
''And now, ladies and gentlemen, I
appeal to you, was there true heroism in
this boys conduct? Nay, Master Hart
ley, do not hide out of sight behind the
blackboard You are not afraid of ridi-
cule, you must not be afraid of praise.
Come forth, Master Edward James Hart
ley, and let us see your honest face"
As Hartley, with blushing cheeks
made his appearance, what round of
applause, in which the whole company
joined, spoke the general appreciation of
his conduct. The ladies stood on benches
and waved their handkerchiefs. The old
men wiped the gathering moisture from
the corners of their eyes, and clapped
their hands. The clumsy boots on
Hartley's feet seemed prouder orna-
ment than crown would have been up
on his head. The medal was bestowed
upon him amid general acclamation.
Let me relate to you good thing of
Jemson before I conclude. He was
heartily ashamed of his ill-natured rail-
Iery, and after we were dismissed, he
went with tears of manly self-rebuke in
his eyes, and rendered his hand to Hart
ley; making handsome apology for his
past ill-manners. "Think no more of
it, old fellow said Hartley, ''let us all
go and have ramble in the woods be-
fore we break up for the vacation"
The boys, one and all, followed Jemson's
example, and then we set forth with
huzzas to the woods. What a happy
day it was
Boys and girls, never despise another
who may be more plainly clad than
yourselves. There is many noble
heart under well-patched garment.
Whenever you are tempted to look
scornfully upon one in poor and
plain dress, think of Edward James
Hartley, the brave boy, and his gold
medal.

A Start i'm Life.

"Well, son, did you get any cases to-
day ?" asked a father of son who had
been admitted to the bar about six
months ago.
"No, father; none yet. am very
much discouraged"
"Perhaps you don't use the proper
method to get cases. You should never
appear upon the streets without carrying
in your hand a sheet of cap paper
folded up so as to look like legal docu-
ment; rush about as if you were loaded
down with business. When in you1
office and anyone comes in, be busy
writing out deed or something, and
when in court never fail to cock your
feet up on the table, brush up your
hair and look wiser than the Judge ifyou
can. That's the way those fellows who
succeed in law so we'll all do"

Nor ANY FOR KATE.-Some malicious
newspaper paragrapher has started the
story that Kate Field has contracted to
marry the Mormon elder and statesman,
John @. Cannon. This is one of the
class of stories that can be safely denied
without waiting for card from the
maligned party. Cannon has four wives
at present, and Kate Field is not the
woman to take the fifth interest in man
even though he may be many times a
millionaire.

ARTEMUs WARD was something more

justice. 81 never stain my pages, he
wrote, with even mild profanity. In

second, it is not funny"

THE GLRDLE OF FRIENDSHIP.

She gathered at her slender waist
The beauteous robe she wore;
It's folds golden belt embraced,
One rose-hued gem it bore.
The girdle shrank; its lessening round
Still kept the shining gem,
But now her flowing locks it bound,
A lustrous diadem.
And narrower still the circlet grew;
Behold a glittering band
Its roseate diamond set anew,
Her neck's white column spanned.
Suns rise and set; the straining clasp
The shortened links resist,
Yet flashes IN a bracelets grasp
The diamond on her wrist.
At length, the round of changes past,
The thieving years could bring,
The jewel glittering to the last,
Still Sparkles in ring.
So. link by link, our friendships part,
So loosen, break and fall,
A narrowing zone; the loving heart
Lives changeless through them all.
--0liusr Wendell Holmes, in the Atlantic.

he inquired politely. "Thanks," said
the other, gratefully, taking and light

looking at it doubtfully, said with

in his tone: "What do you pay for

replied the original proprietor of both

declaring the land grant of the Texas

the ground that the Texas Pacific did

and that the Southern Pacific had de-
feated the building of the Texas Pa

the establishment of competing line

always endeavored TO appear perfectly cool

mer they we're staying at a hotel and we're

alarm Of fire. The flames were burning
fercely, but the husband calmly said 10 his
wife: "Dress carefully, my dear. just as II
you were preparing for ball" Well, they
finally left the room and got out on the lawn
in safety, with their portmanteaus even res
cued. The husband Immediately began to
dilate upon the advantage Of always taking
things coolly, to which his wife replied that
she thoroughly agreed with him, but still she
begged TO remind him shat he had forgot
ten to put on his inexpressibles," aud he
had.
