Reminded of His BOyhOOd Days.

A professor of Cambridge, who is
considered the first mathematician in
England, albeit a pious divine and
man of staid character and devout hab-
its, happened to be taking his constitu-
tional on the banks of the river at The
time of recent boat race. The river
is narrow. A dexterous movement of
the tiller, when the boats are side by
side, will often decide the race by driv-
ing one of the competitors too near the
bank. Well, the learned and pious
churchman, having sauntered to the
riverside just as the boats were passing,
watched them for moment with a
calm face. Some old memories of by
gone contests rushed into his mind
the struggle fired his blood; he was
seen to clench his fists and to walk with
firmer tread. He followed the boats
for few PAGES. AS they came to a
turn in the river he actually ran, in full
collegiate costume as he was. His cap
blew off--he never noticed it. He be-
gan to wave his arms. A crowd around
him, unconscious of his presence,
shouted eco it, Trinityl' Yoicks,
Caiusn The boats were approaching
a very narrow part of the river, the
Caius men half length ahead. The

How q Small Boy Got His Rights.

Big men are not always Just or gener-
Gus, and many times the small boy is q
sufferer at their hands. Sometimes
the big man is cross because he has
eaten too much dinner-the small boy
will understand now how uncomfort-
able he feels-and as he is too big to
cry he vents his i'll humor, many times,
on the first small boy who comes in
his way. Now, you know that some
people think that if you eat too much
meat you will become savage, and, as
this man who was unjust to the small
boy was a butcher, perhaps he had
eaten so much meat that he had be-
come in part savage. In one of the
police courts uptown, in New York,
one morning not long since, very
small boy, in knickerbockers, appeared.
He had a dilapidated cap in one hand
and green cotton bag in the other.
Behind him came a big policeman,
with grin on his face. When the boy
found himself in the courtroom he
hesitated and looked as if he would
like to retreat, but as he half turned
and saw grin on his escorts face, he
shut his lips tighter and meandered up
to the desk. "Please, sir, are YOU the
judge?" he asked, in voice that had a
queer little culver in it. 81 am, my
boy; what can l do for your" asked the
Justice, as he looked wonderingly
down at the mite before him. If you
please, sir, I'm Johnny Moore. Pm
seven years old, and l live in 123d
street, near the avenue, and the only
good place to play miggles on is in
front of lot near our house, where
the ground is smooth; but butcher on
the corner" and here his voice grew
steady and his cheeks flushed, THAT
hasn't any more right to the place than
we have, keeps his wagon standing
there, and this morning we were play
ing miggles there, and he drove us
away, and took six of mine, and threw
them away off over the fence into the
lot, and l went to the police station,
and they laughed at me, and told me
to come here and tell you about it,
The big policeman and the spectators
began to laugh boisterously, and the
lently with mingled indignation and
fright that the marbles in his little
bag ratified together. The justice,
however, raped sharply on the desk,
and quickly brought everybody to dead
silence. " You did perfectly right, my
boy" said he, gravely, "to come here
and tell me about it. You have as
much right to your six marbles as the
richest man in the city has to his bank
account. If every American citizen
had as much regard for their rights as
you show, there would be far less
crime. And you, sir,' he added, turn.
ing to the big policeman, who now
looked solemn, you go with this little
man to that butcher and make him pay
for those marbles, or else arrest hin
and bring him here" You see this
boy knew that his rights had been in
terfered with, and he went to the one
having authority to redress his wrongs
He did not throw stones or say naughty
words, but in manly, dignified way
demanded his rights.-Selected.
