Joe Black.

The first time l ever saw Joe Black he
was out on the sidewalk in front OF the
house where he lived 1t was sharp
winter morning.
There were a number of boys on the
sidewalk, too, and Joe was looking on to
see them play rather than playing with
them. Some of them were sliding along
on the ice in the gutter, others were
snowballing, and all seemed to be having
fine time.
Pretty soon man came along. Joe
was busy watching the boys, and did not
see or hear the man until he was close
upon him. The man had heavy bundle
upon his shoulder, and called out rather
angrily: "Get out of way" Joe was a
little frightened at the harsh tone in
which the man spoke to him, and got out
OF the way as quickly as he could. Some
boys would have answered this man rude
ly back, and perhaps have told him to
get out of the way himself but Joe took
the roughness very meekly. The next
moring Joe was out again only this time
he had not got so far as the sidewalk
but was standing on the door-steps look
ing up and down the street, and wonder
ing what he should do. While he was so
standing and wondering, the same man
came along who had spoken so unkindly
the day before. He had what looked like
the same bundle on his shoulder. The
man did not see Joe, but Joe saw him and
recognized him. Presently the man, as
he walked along, put his hand in his side
pocket and pulled out his handkerchief
In so doing he pulled out one of his nit
tens too 1t tell unseen by its owner
upon the sidewalk When he put his
handkerchief back in his pocket he did
not miss the mitten There it lay Just
where it fell, the man walking faster and
faster away.
Some boys in Joe's place would have
been glad that such a cross man had lost
his mitten, and would hope that he might
never find it.
Not so Joe Black. 1t took him but a
moment to decide that he ought to go
and restore the mitten to its owner.
don't know that he so much as thought
of the cross way the man had spoken to
him the day before. II he did, he did not
cherish any resentment.
So off he started down the steps and
along the walk until he came to the NIT
ten. Picking it up, he ran after the man
as fast as his legs could carry him. In.
stead of calling out to him, he waited
until he got close up behind him, and
then gently touched his hand. The man
turned around to see who touched him.
There stood Joe holding the mitten.
We'll done T. said the man, recogniz-
ing the mitten, and feeling in his pocket
at the same moment.
Well done Where did you find
that?' And he took the mitten and put
it back in his pocket.
Joe only wagged his tail, for ne was
and he couldn't speak word
But have sometimes thought that he
was more of gentleman than the man
who dropped the mitten. At any rate,
he knew how to return good for evil. Do
you p Er2hunge.

The SulkY Oleander.

Little Oleander slip
Cut from mother tree,
Was about as disagreeable
AS little slip could be;
Didn't like her pot of earth,
Said she wouldn't grow:
This was very naughty
Aud foolish, too, you know.
Little Oleander slip
a drink of water had,
Didn't do her any good,
Continued to be bad
Sulky Oleander
Hung her little head,
And dropping over side ways,
Pretended she was dead.
But it wasn't any good
Playing such trick
Tied up Oleander
To little stick,
Shut her in closet,
Very dark, you know,
Till she made her mind up
To be good and grow.
Darkness had a good effect
On Oleander's head:
What's the use of acting so |"
To herself she said,
Strengthened up her willing stalk,
Really tried to smile
Guess we'll have to let her out
In little while.
Morning bright and sunny,
Air 50 fresh and pure,
Oleander's had enough
OF clio ct, am sure.
4" Be good, Oleander 2"
Yes" l heard her say,
And she's kept her promise
From that very day.
Other little flowers
Sometimes act Just so,
And in darkened closets
Often have to go;
There in calm reflection,
1t will not be strange
If short confinement
Works a wondrous change.

Prohibition and Personal Freedom.

Philadelphia Record.
A prohibltory liquor law is unlike most other
enactments in that it does not settle in the minds
of the people the questions with which it deals
and the issues to which it bears relation. 1t is
prelude to incessant and acrimonious wrang-
ling. AS such law bears directly upon personal
habits, it's opponents and it's advocates are
prompted to make discussion of it personal af-
fair, into which enter many elements not to be
classei among those principles which underlie
all governments of the popular form. And it is
because contest over prohibition is really a
fight in which the matter of personal freedom is
a preponderant issue that the permanent and
secure establishment of prohibitory laws has
been found to be impossible. In free republic
there can be no such thing as that slavery of
opinion which would be necessary accompani-
ment of successful prohibition.
