TJGHTNNGROD PROFITS


II have seen the day could make
fifty dollars day putting up lightning
rods. Drive up to house and talk
with man about roding his barn at SO
much foot, and he would figure that it
would cost, say, sixteen dollars, and he
would sign and order. Before the ink
was cold I would have seven or eight
men with ladders all over that barn.
They would go over it ike cats on back
fence, and put points on every corner and
conductors down every side. The far
mer and his family would look on in
amazement, and be so pleased at the i'm
proved look of the old barn that they
would not kick at the number of points.
"Then We would go off without collect
ing the bill, and in about a week
our collector would come along with a
bill for S307.47, and the farmers note
all signed, and demand the pay. The
farmer might faint away, but he had TO
pay it. Oh, of course, if he seemed hurt we
would throw off the odd cents, Just to
show a christian spirit.
''But the condemned newspapers have
kept talking about highway robbery

Enjoying Herself.

Saw peculiar specimen of femininity
on the train the other night. She was a
middle aged woman with good address
and more than average intelligence, but
she smoked continuously and excessive
ly. She sat in the smoking room of the
Pullman with a fragrant Havana in her
mouth and discussed almost every sub
lect, displaying surprising amount of
information. But this festive female al
so INDUCED somewhat from a small
flask which contained whisky. She
lighted one cigar after another and en-
tertained three or four male occupants
of the apartment with her experiences.
There was nothing obscene or indicate
in her conversation, but she refused to
tell her name. She is the agent of a
patent railroad switch, and lives in

law of gravitation her way to some
good milliner and gets herself a half
dozen silk and velvet dresses She is

she is so sweet and kind, and friendly
in her manner. and you. who are shy
and set great store by the doings of
these official ladies, come away entranc-

ciliatingness, the gentle entreaty, the
timid ambition, the lack of self-conti-

San Franciso Call: When the rain

THE QUEENS MERCY.

Queen Victoria was not twenty when
she assembled the throne of Eng
land, Coming into possession of power
with heart fresh, tender and pure,
and with all her instincts inclined to
mercy, she found many things that tried
her resolution to the utmost. On a
beautiful morning the young queen was
waited upon atWindsor by the Duke of
Wellington, who had brought from Lon
don various papers requiring her sigma
ture. One was sentence of court-mar-
tial against soldier of the line that he
be shot dead. The queen looked upon
the paper and then looked upon the
wondrous beauties that nature had spread
10 her view. "What has this man done2'
she asked. The duke looked upon the
paper, and replied: "Ah, my royal mis-
tress, that man l fear, is incorrigible.
He has deserted three times" "And
can you say nothing in his behalf, my
lord?" Wellington shook his head. "Oh,
think again, [ pray you?" Seeing that
her majesty was so deeply moved, and
feeling sure she would not have the man
shot in any event, he finally confessed
that the man was brave and gallant, and
really good soldier. "But," he added
''think of the influence" 'Infiueuce!'
the queen cried, her eyes flashing and
her bosom heavIng with strong emotion

will try mercy in this mans case; and
charge you, your grace, to let me know
the result. A good soldier you said
Oh, thank you for that! You NAV tel
him that your good word saved him. ,
Then she took the paper and wrote with
a bold, firm hand, across tne dark page
the bright saving word "Pardonedl'
The duke was fond of telling the story,
and he was willing also to confess. that
the giving of the paper to the pardoned
soldier gave him far more Joy than he
could have experienced from the taking
of city.-AnOl.

Roy IDEA OF A RICHOP

Bishop Harris of New York, in re-
spouse to the address of welcome tender
ed to him in behalf of the Buffalo Meht-
odist Union the other evening, told a
good story at his own expense. He had
gone to the little town of Dundee, in the
central part of the State, to dedicate a
church. He was the guest of the pa
tor, who had very beautiful interesting
little boy who had bean on the tiptoe OF
expectation to see the Bishop, about
whose coming he lad heard SO much.
At the dinner table the Bishop sat at the
end with the little fellow around the cor
ner, and the prelats did his best to make
himsels agreeable to the young gentle
man 10 conversation. The talk was OF
school and school studies, of church,
Sunday school, and other matters likely
to interest The pair made quite an &C.

each other, but after the distinguished
divine had left the table the boy looked
up at bis mother in almost blank aston

THURSDAY, JUNE II, 1886.
The Boston Infant.

An amusing incident that occurred
two or three years since may be set down
as illustrating the lofty ambition of the
genuine Boston infant and her superior
fondness for intellect rather than beauty.
A little girl of 10 rang the door-bel of
neighbours house. and of the servant
who came to the door inquired for the
widow lady living there. Mrs. B. is
not at home" the maid answered.
"Will you leave any word?" Yes"
the little miss answered. II am Mary
Pease, and you may Oell Mrs. B. that it
isn't true what the girls say about me
being in love with Tommy. l wouldn't
be in love with such little fellow, any
way-only s years old, and l don't
think he's bit good-looking.
The maid regarded her with some
establishment during this concise ad-
dress. and then, her pride in the family
which she served being somewhat
touched, she bridled up to reply: 20,
you don't Well, you're not SO good
looking yourself, miss, with your freck-
les aid your red hair" The child re-
garded her with perfect gravity, and
answered in tones of complete and dis
passionate self-possession: II know I'm
not, but my mother says | may be clever
some day, and that is better
This tale, apocryphal as it sounds, is
really true, the name l have hidden un-
der ''Pease" being one well and honor
ably known in recent literature.
Another little maiden, year or two
older than this, with whom have the
honor of an acquaintance, has been
much exercised this winter over ethical
and religious problems. She was at
first Theosophist, but when the Lenten
services at Trinity began it seemed to
her that the responsibility of the family
demanded that some one should occupy
their pew in that church; and as nobody
else seemed likely to do SO, she gravely
betook herself to the afternoon meetings
and became much inclined toward the
faith inculcated by Mr.. Brooks. There
is a good deal of it that is like Theoso-
ply" she assured me, land l think per-
haps it's better to go on with your own
people instead of with folks that live so
far off as India; so | can't quite tell
whether I'd better be Theosophist or
not Do come upstairs and see what a
beautiful new dolls house I've had
pullt- IL Is hlgher imam my head and all
like real house"
A small 4-year-old neighbor of hers
evinced theological tendencies quite az
marked when he inquired of his mother
if she supposed that the Lord was
brother to the Old Nick, and on her re-
plying that she was sure she couldn't
tell what the relation was the small
philosopher went on to add: "Of
course, if they are, the Old Nick was
born first"
Of course. child life in its essence is
the same the world over, but in its acct

unique and more marked than here
