CHAPTER III.

When Pink arrived at Judge Blake $ office, be found that the good boy, 'Lige Berry, had been installed as a stu udent 'Lige did not appear to be pleased when he discovered that Pink was to be his col league, for, between the two boys there had never been anything in common. The good boy merely looked up when Pink entered, then, with frown, he bent himself to the wor< of devouring Black stone. Pink sat down, in obedience to the command of the judge.
 "Young gentlemen, as business is woe fully dull at present, you won't have anything to do but to read. 'Lige, you are getting along very we'll, are you not ?''
 "Yes, sir"
 "Do you find Blackstone interesting p
 "Yes, sir, very"
 "Pink, what's that you are reading "
 "Readin' bout some lnguns."
 "Well, throw it down. You'll never be good lawyer unless you study"
 With a mighty effort, Pink made pre- tense of studying. He seemed to have settled upon an entire change of course, but occasionally he would fall back into his old ways. Then he would sit with his eyes half closed. One day he said
 "Lige, do you ever expect to be grea, lawyer ?"
 "Of course do."
 "ls that what makes you study SC hard ?"
 "Yes. If it were not for that wouldn't study at all. Isn't that the reason you study, Pink?"
 "l don't study much, but that aint the reason. wouldn't study at all if didn't have to. When don't read ole Blake makes me tote in wood and pt rather read than to tote wood. Totin wood makes me tired" A stranger coming into the room would have instantly settled upon 'Lige as the coming lawyer. No one would have thought that any possible distinction awaited the lazy, bow-legged, red-headec boy. That which passes for disceramen is often short-sightedness. Some of oul greatest men have been-but the turnin, point of story should never be antici pated. l 'Lige was quiet boy, and Sundays h.

days in quite different way. He would roam along the river, throwing stones at birds. Remonstrance was of no avail. He hated Sunday-schooi and abhorred the church. Occasionally he would come home with bloody nose, for although he was averse to physical exercise. he hesitated not to engage in combat. Peo- pie pointed at him, shook their heads and said:
 "That boy will never amount to any thing"
 Pink fell in love with little girl, bright eyed Mary Phelps, but naturally enough the girl did not love him. She loved 'Lige. This enraged Pink, and had an opportunity presented itselG he would have chastised his fellow-student.
 Even in a lawyers office time drags along. 'Lige was ready to stand an ex- animation. Pink also declared that he was ready. They were examined by the circuit judge. 'Lige was complimented for his quickness and insight, but Pink failed to answer a sufficient number of questions, consequently he was remanded back to BIake's office. Realizing that he had wasted time he made an earnest re- solve to do better.
 'Lige began the practice of his difficult profession. He threw his whole soul in- to the work and old lawyers said that he would succeed. How short sighted, how erroneous are human calculations.
 One evening Pink called on bright eyed Mary. He had determined to ask her to be his wife, for he believed that she had ceased to To, ,e 'Lige. Mary cor dially received him and his heart beat a hopeful tattoo,
 " Miss Mary, suppose you have heard how hard am studying"
 "Yes, and also heard that you tailed to pass your examination"
 "Oh, that makes no difference"
 1t does with me.'
 " Mary, l want you to be my wife"
 "I cannot, am engaged to 'Lige Berry,"
 
 There ca ne day when the wise men thought of the predictions they had made with regard to the two boys. Berry is now distinguished judge. Pink is in the penitentiary. It will be shock, no doubt, for some people to learn that good boy ever amounted to anything and that bad boy ever failed to succeed in life. Probably those facts should not have been penned but then the lauda- ble motive which inspired their publica- ton will more than offset the startling revelations which are made in the narra- ton. The good, studieus boy has had very little chance in this country. All the high places of honor have been filled by men wh } were once bad boys. Even ministers of the gospel boast of how they were once bad, oh, yes, so very bad and with keen delight some of them tell of their adventures on the race course or at the card table. It is time that a reform should take place. Give the good boy a chance.

 HE HAPPY THOUGHT.
BY RoBsRT s. LEMEN.

When the bright orb of day is how'd, beyond the western walers far; And sable nights begirt with cloud, Which hides rom view each blazing star:
 The happy thought which speaks of thee
 still wings its way through these to me. When dark and roaring tempest rise, With jarring thunders dread and deep, And blinding lightnings rend the skies, As o'er the earth their terrors sweep;
 he happy thought which speaks of thee,
 Still wings its way through these to me. In life, when mix d with circles gay, Where jovial mirth extends her wiles, And glowing pleasures hold ,heir sway, Der hearts Of social thoughts and smiles;
 The happy thought which speaks of thee,
 Stili wings its way through these 10 me. When burden'd with life's clogging cares, Its conflicts, duties and its woes Eluding all it's pits and snares, And csnquering its fercest foes
 Still in the strife there comes to me.
 That blessed thought that sighs of thee, When lutrospection turns her eye, To gaze within my secret breast; And Judgment comes herself to try Which tenant there I love the best;
 From thence still ~afted back to me,
 The welcome thought that whispers-thee The happy, blessed, welcome thought That whispers, sighs and speaks of thee In all the changes life has brought, Has been a beacon light to me;
 Love lights the heart of man, I weeni

 The school had been in operation nearly three weeks when, one day, the teacher, the Rev. Dr. Brooks, called upon old man Miller.
 "Glad to see you, parson, sit down. How's everything?
 "Slow," Dr. Brooks replied.
 "How's Pink gittin' along2"
 {" N ot at all."

 "Yes, am sorry to say"
 "What peers to be the matter?" " He won't study"
 "Cant you whip him into it ?" "l have tried, but it does no good" "Ah, Lord, don't know what's to be- come of him. Do you think he will ever amount to anything, parson ?"
 "No, do not"
 "Would you advise me to take him away from school ?"

 "No hope for him ?"

 "Dr. Brooks tells me that it's no use to send you to school"
 "Wall, reckon it ain't"

 NEWCASTLE FLA, July, 1885.
 An extract from the correspondence of MT. lverson A. Jones with your paper oi an unknown date, containing the quota ton of short poem oi mine, ," The Stab, with some very Aattering comments, has been shown me, by MT. Butler of Orlan do, Orange county, Fla. Previous to this pr. Shelby informed me that such a mo- tice had appeared, and furnished him a correct copy at his request, as he sug- gested writing to you about it or MT. Jones, with whom, think, he has some acquaintance. But seeing the article ln question, 1t seems proper that should in person write and thank the gentleman and yourself
 The verses were originally published in the Louisville (Ky ) Demoe,at in 1856 with which l was then connected, and simultaneously copied by the Louisville Journal C. .orge D. Prenuce) and the Louisville Courier. w. D. Gallagher, with approval. As one or two errors oc- cur in the version remembered by MT. Jones, venture to send to you for him, the poem as it was originally written and published.
 The changes are all in the third line, first stanza. In using ragged, not rugged, had in mind the sha lows of the foliage on the white road in the moonlight, like the frayed and torn edges of cloth, re- ferring the appearance to the trees them- selves. l do not know that as MT. Weller said it is "more sweeter" but that is how l wrote it and why.
 You will express my high appreciation of MT. lverson Jones' commendation, to him and accept my thanks. first thought to leave such expression to my friend Dr, Shelby, who undertook it but reading the notice 1 see it is right as it is pleasant to do so myself R spectfully,

THE STAB

"Of sudden stab in groves forlorn, And murders done in caves"
 -Th0s Hood On the road the lonely road, Under the cold, white moon; Under the ragged trees he strode; He whstled and shifted his heavy load Whistled foolish tune. There was step timed with his own, A figure that stopped, and bowed A cold white blade that gleamed and shone Like splinter of daylight downward thrown And the moon went behind cloud. Butthe moon came out so broad and good, The barn-cock woke and crowed; Then roughed hls feathers in drowsy mood. And the brown oxl called to his mate in the
 wood,
 That a dead man lay on the road.

Sir David Brewster's Cat.

Margaret Maria Gordon, writing
from Nice to the Home Chronicle, says:
my father, Sir David Brewster, had a
strong dislike to cats; he said that he
felt something like an electric shock
when one entered the room. Living in
an old mouse-ridden house, / was at
last obliged to set up cat, but on the
express condition that it never was to
be seen in his study. | was sitting
with him one day, and the study door
was ajar. To my dismay pussy push
ed it open, and. with a most assured
air, walked right up to the philosopher,
jumped upon his knee, put a paw on
one shoulder and a paw on the other,
and then composedly kissed him! Ut
terly thundeystruck at the creature
audacity. my father ended by being so
delighted that he quite forgot to have
an electric shock. He took pussy into
his closest affections, feeding and tend
ing her as if she were a child.
"One morning. some years after
ward, no pussy appeared at breakfast
for cream and fish; no pussy at dinner,
and, in fact, months passed on and
still no pussy. We could hear moth
ing of our pet, and we were both incon-
solable. About two years after, was
again sitting with my father, when,
strange to say, exactly the same set OF
circumstances happened. The door
was pushed gently open, pussy trotted
in, jumped on his knee. put paw OH
each shoulder, and kissed him. She
was neither hungry, thirsty, dusty, nor
footsore, and we never heard anything
of her intervening history. She re.
sumed her placed as household pet fol
many years, until she got into dis
eased state from partaking too freely, il
was supposed, of the delicacy of raw
flesh, and in mercy she was obliged tc
be shot. We both suffered so much
from this second loss that we never haC
another domestic pet. "--Leis,r,
