MANY years ago, in the old stsge-cosch,
ing times, newly married couple, &C.
companied by thu brides sister, were the
sole occupants of stsge-coach, with the
exception of middle.aged gentleman of
good address, with whom they entered
slightly into conversation. Ere long,
upon coming to steep hill, the driver
put his head in at the coach window and
said, shortly, Have to get out and walk
up this hill" The party obediently dis
mounted, and the bridegroom offered his
arm to the bride, preparatory to making
the ascent. The stranger at the same
moment offered his arm to Miss M, the
sister, who accepted of it in most gin.

was broken down, however, when the
stranger, observing Miss Ms reserved &C.
ceptance of his proffered aid, sang out
cheerily, "Don't be afraid to bear on

How They Play the Piano In New
Orleans.

"I was loa6ng around the streets last
night" said Jim Nelson, one of the oldest
locomotive engineers running into New
Orleans, and as / had nothing to do |
stepped into concert and heard slick
looking Frenchman play piano in way
that made me feel all over in spots. As
soon as he sat down on the stool knew
by the way he handled himself that he
understood the machine he was running.
He tapped the keys away up one end, just
as if they were gauges and he wanted to
see if he had water enough. Then he
looked up, as il he wanted to know how
much steam he was carrying, and the
uext moment he pulled open the throttle
and ,iled out on the main line, as if he
was half an hour late. You could hear
her thunder over culverts and bridges, and
getting faster and faster, until the fellow
rocked about III his seat like cradle.
Somehow / thought it was old thirty
six pulling passenger train and getting
out of the way of Special The fellow
worked his keys on the middle division
like lightning, and then he few along the
north end of the line until the drivers
went around like buzz saw and got
excited. About the time was fixing to
tell him to cut her off little, he kicked
the hampers under the machine wide
open, pulled the throttle away back in the
tender, and, Jerusalem jumpers how he
did run couldn't stand it any longer,
and yelled to him that she was pound
ing on the left side, and if he wasn't
careful he'd drop his ash-pan. But he
didn't hear me. No one heard me.
Everything was flying and whizzing.
Telegraph poles on the side of the track
looked like a row of cornstslks, the trees
appeared to be mud bank, and all the
time the exhaust of the old machine
sounded like the hum of bumble-bee.
tried to yell out, but my tongue wouldn't
move. He went around the curves like a
bullet, and slipped an eccentric, blew out
his soft plug, went down grades fifty feet
TO the mile, and not break set. She
went by the meeting point at mile and
a half minute, and calling for more
steam. My hair stood up like cats
tail, because l knew the game was up.
Sure enough, dead ahead of us was the
headlight of the special In dsze l
heard the crash as they struck, and saw
cars shivefed into atoms, people mashed,
aud mangled, and bleeding, and gasping
for water. heard another crash as the
French professor struck the deep keys
away down on the lower end of the south
ern division, and then came to my
senses. There he was at dead stand
still, with the door of the fir ,-box Of the
machine open, wiping the perspiration of
his face, and bowling at the people before
him. If / live 10 be thousand years
old, I'll never forget the ride that French
man gave me on piano."-Selected.

his manner that he didn't. "I'm great

About ten minutes afterward she sees
the boy playing in the street, and calls
him. He comes reluctantly. Didn't l
tell you I'd whip you if you went outside
the yard ?" "Yessum." "Why did you
do it ?" "'Csuse." "You good for moth

"Did you do that, my boy 2" asked the
gentleman, as he held Gilbert's drawing up
to his view.

great city is like hunting for needle in a
hay-stack ? 1t was only by the merest &C.
cident found you. If it had not been
for that little dolls dressmaker, I'd never
found you. My little nieces wanted me to
go with them yesterday to their dolls
dressmaker to have some work done, and
saw the sign on the house, and being es-
pecially interested in all such kinds of
work, | asked who did it, and that little
Jenny Wren told me Gilbert Shaw did
it, and that he was a cash-boy in Hunter &
Halls establishment. So l have found you
at last. Your drawing was the best one l
received. Here is the five dollars. And
now, my boy, come to my house one even
ing each week, and will give you lessons
in drawing free. You have genius and it
wants cultivating."
Gilbert Shaw was 80 overcome with
this unexpected good news that he could
not speak for some minutes. The big
tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked
up into the geDtleman's face and said, I" /
cannot tell you how very thankful am to
you, SIR"
Items got the prize exclaimed a
cash.boy who had been at the desk, wait
ing for change; she's got it, sure eaough.
I saw the gentleman give it to him."
This news ran all around the store
quick as a telegraphic dispatch. Up into
the suit department it went with the ele-
vator boy, and Miss McCleary said, az
never heard anything that made me re-
joice as much as this good fortune for
Ten."
CATER all, Amy, shouldn't have got
the prize if it hadn't been for you," said
Gilbert Shaw that evening, when he went
in to tell her the good news.
II thought you'd get it, Gilbert" she
said; I" You know the Bible says Blessed
is he that considereth the poor You
considered me, you know, and the Lord
blessed you."-Mrs. Susan T. Perry, in

She lifted the shining head.

Some hint OF the April green,
Or the breath Of the woodland blossoms,
The drifts OF the snow between?

They are tired of the cold, white winter,
Oh, help them to grow in spring;
And the flowers that loved to gather,
Lord, bring them again In May
The dear little violets, sleeping
Down deep in the ground to-day"
An earth may be chill with snow fakes,
And hearts may be cod with care,
But wastes of frozen silence
Are crossed by the baby's prayer
And lips that were dumb with sorrow
In jubilant hope may sing;
For, when earth is wrapped in winter,
In the heart of the Lord 'tis spring.

Mrs. Ward Mallory's musical
consisting of about a dozen
little girls and young ladies, met at
their teachers elegant residence on
Washington street, last Saturday
afternoon and had a very pleasant
and enjoyable time. Each scholar
was to exhibit their proficiency and
progress in their musical studies,
and the one that played best and
showed the most advancement was
to receive a handsome boquet. At
the conclusion of the contest it was
utterly impossible for the teacher
to decide which one was entitled to
the boquet, as they all did so well,
and SO they concluded to settle it
by lot, and under this arrangement
Miss Addie Beggs carried the posies
home. Mrs. Mallory is the best,
music teacher in this section of the
country, aud it is surprising how
beautiful and correct some of her
smaller scholars perform on the
piano. The little girls took cake &c.
and Mrs. Mallory furnished straw
berries and cream and lemonade
and the children enjoyed a very
pleasant tea with their teacher. The
following is a list of the scholars
present: May Miller, May Comfy,
Nellie Freeman, Julia Freeman,
Allie Talcott, Mertie Talcott, Mabel
Mallahan, Dema Steckman, Addie
Beggs, and Inga Thronson.
