VARIETIES.

1t isn't hard for a man to mind his
own business but it's awful tiresome.
A nod is as good as wink to a
clergyman when his sermon is too
long.
Wise men sit alone and look on
while fools hunt in couples and stir up
the game.
The cynic is too illiberal to be witty.
Good.nature is the life blood of face

Trees have some characteristics in
common with people. In the spring
they begin to leave for the summer,
although some will be unable to do so
because their trunks will be seized for
board.
A negro was put upon the stand
as witness, and the Judge inquired If
he understood the nature of an oath.
"For an certing, boss" said the citi-
zen "if swear to lie l must stick
to him.
1t has finally been ascertained by
astronomers that sun-dogs are sky
terriers, except at sunset, when, of
course, they are settlers. This may be

Boys, as rule, are nuisance, but
there is always something about our
boys that makes them little superior
to others. They are of finer quality
of material, and the noise that they
make is not the harsh and nerve-des-
troying kind that other boys make.
Beware of busybodies, however kind
they may appear on the surface. A
man who NEEDLES in other peoples
affairs is sure to make mischief. He
generally NEEDLES to suit himself, and
consequently puts different construc-
tons ON the same things when said to
different people so that the most in
nocent words get distorted into appli-
cations which those who use them
never intend that they should bear.
A police sergeant was Boosting of
the honesty that prevailed in his pre-
cinct-"Why," he said, "you might
hang your gold watch on lamp-post

nobody would take the watch ?" ex-
claimed the listener. "No; | mean
to say nobody would take the lamp

menaced Mrs. Lepells treasured gems
the three diamond rings that the
boarder had once told her were worth
thousands of dollars. And here she
was alone and helpless
Hurriedly she turned over the crisis
in her mind. IF she were to re-enter
the house by the same way in which
she had lee it, she must certainly meet
the rufiians, and any resistance which
she could offer would be speedily over
powered.
jamie Barr was not one to hesitate
long. While the thoughts yet careered
through her brain, she sprang from
the caves into the blooming boughs of
the great cherry tree which grew so
close to the house that its branches
scraped the roof on windy March
days.
1t was a hazardous thing for any
one to do who was not swift of limb
and accurate of eye; bit jamie alighted,
like a cat, in the fork of the tree,
climbed lightly down until she reached
its lower bough, and thence leaped
breathlessly to the ground, springing
swiftly across the meadows to Raj phi
Parsons carpenter shop.
"Janie, what is il? ?"
Ralph Parsons himself rose up out
of the green hedges, directly across her
path.
II was drinking at the ice cold
spring." he said. "when | heard your
footsteps. What is it ?"
She told him as well as she could for
excitement and breathlessness.
"Come," she cried. "Oh, do make
haste p
He paused only to blow small
willow whistle which hung on his steel
watch guard.
"This will bring my workmen," he
said. "It's signal we have agreed
upon, among ourselves, for just such
an emergency as this. You and Jones,
jamie, shall go around to the back
door, Hall and Robbins will watch the
front, and I'll go up and settle the
fellows"
jamie glanced with shy admiration
into his set. determined face. After
all, it was something to be man.
The little campaign was skillfully
conducted. The two thieves were taken
red-handed, the diamond rings were
delivered into jamie Barr's keeping
and the ruffians were dragged to the
nearest jail.
"Oh, Ralph said Jennie, when all
the little crowd was gone, show can |
ever thank your"
"TIe smiled"
"By letting me put on those shingles
for you" said he.
81 can't said Jane, laughing and
blushing. "They are put on already.
But I'll promise you my next job of
carpentering."
"Will you let me be your carpenter
always, jamie ?" he asked. "Will you
promise one day to be my wife p
The words had risen almost involun-
tarily to his lips as he held her hand
in his-the words he so longed yet
dreaded to speak.
And jamie hung her head and
colored like carnation, and said "she
would see."
And Ralph Parsons knew that he
had won the day.
Mrs. Barr and the boarder were
alike amazed when they returned
home.
"Our jamie to circumvent gang of
burglars !" said the proud mother.
"To save my three diamond rings !"
Historically cried Mrs. Lepell.
"But that isn't all | have done,

GRANTS HORsEMANSHIP IN BOY.

Like many farmer boys, he was very
fond of horses, and. though mere lad,
showed great skill in managing them,
and acquired knack, no oze knew
how, of breaking them to pace. Most
of the incidents of his boyhood differ
but little from those of which make up
the life of boys of poor parents. whose
necessities compel him to work instead
of play. Some of them, however, ex-
hibit those traits which have since dis
tinguished HMM fact, led to his
success. The tenacity of purpose,
which no obstacles or dangers could
shake, was illustrated in the persisten-
cy with which he once chung to a
circus pony that he was induced to
mount in a ring. The trained little
animal, could not, with its utmost
efforts shake him off, and the ring
master, disappointed to see him sue
coed, where others always failed, let
loose a monkey, which sprung up be-
hind him, and mounted his shoulders
and began to pull his hair. The spec
tators shouted and the pony struggled
still more frantic to get rid of its rider
but Ulysses, with his face wearing the
same imperutable expression it in after
years wore in battle, rode on, until the
pony and ring master had to give il

"The proper place to do business is
the place of business" IF this rule was
carried out many mista kes and blund-

verbally on the streets is frequently
forgotten, and unpleasant feelings are
often aroused, whereby it would be
otherwise, if strictly followed.

Little shoes too tight,

Cannot go away;

Sound words taken from an ex.
change:
The first thousand dollars young
man earns and saves will generally set
tie the question of business with him.
It is the fruit of personal industry. He
gives his time and labor for it. While
he is thus earning and saving it, he
must earn two, or three, or perhaps
four times as much, to pay current ex.
penses. He is consequently held stern
ly to the task of industry for consid-
erable period. The direct consequence
to him is a steady, continuous and SOL
id discipline in the habits of industry,
in patient, persistent, forecasting and
self-denying effort. breaking up all the
tendencies to frivolity, and making
him an earnest and watchful economist
of time. He not only learns how to
work, but he also acquires the love
of work and, moreover, he learns the
value Of the sum which he has saYed
out of his earnings. He has toiled for
it; he has observed its slow increase
from time to time and in his estima.
tion it represents so many months OF
years of practical labor.
