The other evening as muscular
citizen was passing house on Mont
calm street, a lady who stood at the
gate called out to him:
"Sir, 1 appeal to you for protec-
tionr'
''What is the trouble?" he asked,
as he stopped short.
"There's man in the house, and
he wouldn't GO out doors when | or
dered him to-"
tThereupon u the man gave the wo-
man his coat to hold and rallied into
the house, splitting on his hands. He
found man down at the supper ia
bic, and he took him by the neck and
remarked:
"Nice style of brute you are, eh?
Come out O. this or I'll break every
bone in your body?"
The man fought back and it was
not until chair had been broken
and the table upset that he was haul
ed out doors by the legs, and given a
ling through the gate. Then, as the
muscular citizen placed his boot
where it would do the most good, he
remarked: "Now, then, you brass
laced old tramp, you move on or I'll

HOW HE CAME TO BE LOST

Outside an eating-house, on a cold,
drilling morning in November, stood
a ragged, dirty young fellow. He
shivered as the raw, damp wind
moaned around him, finding out
every hole in his scanty clothes. Let
us scan his face. Dirty 1t is, pale and
pinched, but il tells sad eloquent
tale to bin who will read it Alright.
That high, broad forehead, sunken
eye, finely cut nose, and thick, coarse
lip and jaw, tell of intellect degraded
and clouded by dissipation.
The swing door of the eating house
opened, and benevolent-looking
man came out into the rain: ''Give
me penny, please, sir, and I'll re-
peat d chapter in the Gospels. I'm
starving" The gentleman gazed at
the speaker. A tear stood in his eye
"You can repeat chapters in the Cos
pei, can you? Let me hear you. !"
The twenty-seventh chapter of Mat
thew was rccted word for word. The
gentleman took him into the coffee
house. After giving him gooC
meal he said, my lad, l did no
bring you in here to give you cuI
of coffee and then to turn you adrif

SOMEBODY.

Robert j. Burdette, the facetious
editor of the Burlington HaaCkeye,
has been lecturing to large audiences
in different parts Of the country, and
in his amusing styles he imparts to
the rising generation some good adj
vice. The following is from one of
his lectures:
''Be somebody, on your own &C
count, my boy, and don't try to get
along on the regulations of your an
cestors. Nobody knows and nobody
cares who Adams grandfather was,
and there is not a man living who can
tell the names of Brigham Young's
mothers-in-law The lecturer urged
upon his hearers the necessity of
keeping up with everyday procession,
and not pulling back in the harness.
Hard work never was known to kill
men; it was the fun that the men
had in the intervals that killed them.
The fact was, most people had yet to
learn what fun really was. A man
might 90 to Europe and spend a mil
lion dollars and recall the fact that
he had a great deal more fun at a
picnic twenty years ago that cost him
sixty-fve cents. The theory that
the world owes every man living is
false. The world owes man moth
ing. There was living in the world
for every man, however, providing
the man was willing to work for it.
If he did not work for it, somebody
else would earn it, and the lazy mar
would '!get Left There were great
er opportunities for workers out Yves
than in the Eastern cities, but mel
who went out West to grow up will
the country must do their own grow
ing. There is no browsing allowed
in the vigorous West. An energeti
man might 60 out into the far West
and in two or three years posses
himself of bigger house, q bigge
yard, bigger barn, and bigge
mortgage than he could obtain by te
years work in the East. All youn,
ought to marry, and no young me
should envy old men OF rich men. /
: conclusion, Mr.. Burdette said that
man should do we'll whatever he wa
, given to do, and not despise drudg
cry.

Readers of Hawthorne's ''House of Seven Ga

Pyncheon, who had been uniustly imprisoned since
his early manhood, said, after his release: My life
is gone, but where is my happiness? Oh! give me

part, as CLEANS of warm sunshine occasionally fall
across the gloom of New England autumn day.

How Watch Gases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while a case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Eyes, sir" said the child.
"Spoken like man." said the doc
tor, patting his head as he dismissed
him.
A few days passed on, when one
day Jim came to say there was lit
tie boy with a bundle down stairs
waiting to see the doctor, and would
not tell his business to any one else.
"Send him up" was the answer,
and in few minutes he recognized
the boy of the squashes. He was
dressed in new, though coarse, suit
of clothes, his hair very nicely comb
ed, his shoes brushed up and a little
bundle tied IN a homespun checked
handkerchief on his arm. Deliber-
ately taking off his hat, and laying ii
down with the bundle, he walked up
to the doctor, saying:
Il have come sir"
Come for what, my child?"
ITO live with you to be doctor"
said the child with the utmost ndjUete.
The first impulse of the doctor was
to laugh immoderately; but the i'm
perturbable gravity of the little thing
rather sobered him, and he recalled
his former conversation, and silently
felt that he needed no addition to his
family.
"Did your father consent to your
coming?" he asked.
eyes, SIR
"What did he say?"
81 told him you wanted me to come
and live with you and be doctor,
and he said that you was very good
man, and / might come as soon as
my clothes were ready"
"And your mother? what did she
say?"
"She said DR.. Byron would do
what he said he would, and God had
provided for me-" And said he, u
have new suit of clothes, and here
is another III the bundle," undoing
the handkerchief and displaying them
with two little shirts white as snow
and q couple of neat checked aprons
so carefully folded it was plain thai
none but mother would have done
it.
The sensibilities of the doctor were
awakened to see the fearless, undaunt
ing trust with which the poor coupl
had bestowed their child upon him
and such child His cogitations wer
not long; he thought of Moses in tn
bullrushes, abandoned to Providence
and above all he thought of the Chill,
that was carried into Egypt--that di
vine Saviour who had blessed the lit
tie children. And he called for hi
wife, saying,
"Susan, dear, | think we pray i
church that God will have mercy upo
all young children"
"To be sure we do said the woI
dering wife; "and what then?"
"And the Saviour said, "WhosC
ever receiveth one such little child
my name receiveth Me-. Let |
take this child in His name, and tai
care of him."
From this hour the GOO
couple received him to their hear
and home. 1t did not then occur
them that one of the most emine
physicians and best men of the a!
stood before them in the person
that child; it did not occur to the
that this little creature, thus throw
upon their charity, was destined to
their staff and stay in declining age
a protector to their daughter, al
more than a son to themselves.
this was then unlevealed but tn
cheerfully received the child they h
lieved Providence had committed
their care, and if ever beneficence W
rewarded, it was in this instance.
