MY LESSON.

I scattered some seeds one winter morn
A simple handful on top of the snow;
My heart was light with bit Of song,
And quiet faith that the seed would grow.
The scofTers laughed, as scoffers will
o, their breath's more bllghting than ma
ttlre's cold
They said my sowing would come to naught-
No harvest could spring from frozen
mould.
My hope was bright, for knew beneath
Its mantles of snow the earth was warm,
And yielding soil could catch tho germ
OF future flower and fragrant form.
waited long, for the season dragged;
But courage and sunlight conquer all,
And an April blessing came at last,
And showed me flower from the rootlet
small.
And o! the sweetness that filled its cup,
And warm, soft tints of its petals rare!
More precious than any garden held
Was this dear reward of my loving care.
find my lesson Eere Some hearts
Seem barren, and frozen, and covered with
snow;
Drop a seed of love for the soil beneath;
Some flower may blossom, and thrive, and
grow.

THE ULD CAMEL STORY.

1t is quite number of years since
this old camel story trotted along the
sands of time, SO as the circus season is
approaching, it has been suggested
that il be started again. This is how it
happened.
Abou Ben Eli McGufin, being full OF
years, died, leaving TO his three SONS his
seventeen camels, for the simple reason
that he could not take them along with
him. The will, duly attested, said the
eldest was to have one-half. the second
son one-third and the youngest one
ninth of the seventeen camels. The
boys were little perplexed at this, as
it seemed to involve the cutting up of a
camel, and camels were worth three
dollars day on the Sahara that season.
But the boys, If not first-class mathe-
maticians, had level heads and did not
go to law to prove the old man insane,
but went instead TO the good old Cadi
Hassan O'Donohue, who had taken a
medal at mathematics at the Ann Arbor
University.
Boys" said the good Cadi reproach-
fully, you should not bother me with
these little matters. Ask Inc a harder
one."
But seeing that they were troubled,
the benevolent old man asked the hostler
to trOt out his own dilapidated old
camel, which had seen its lest travelling
with Barnum. Placing the aged brute
with the seventeen camels the bows had
brought along, he said;
There are eighteen camels. / shall
now give YOU half the eighteen, which
is nine. How does that strike you?"
1T hits where live; said the eldest,
who was slangy, but withal pleased at
getting half of eighteen rather than half
of seventeen.
1.-The next bov shall have one-third
Of eighteen, which is six. are you there,
Moriarity2"
"You bet, says the boy
The next will have one ninth Of
eighteen, which is two," and so the
third collsred his two animals Thus
two and six and nine made seventeen,
and still wss the good Cadi's aged ami
NAL left unscathed. The people mar
veled, as the Cadi had given each more
than the will called for, which is rather
unusual in courts of Law. And they
said one 10 another, That's what il is
TO be good at figures"

I spranR up to find Jackson standing

I sprang up to find Jackson standing
in the center Of the cabin, and on the
floor lay outlaw, wife and children, all
dead. 1t was as I had argued the day
previous. The two men had separated
in the woods-Sheen TO return directly
to camp and Jackson to hunt for game
for supper. The outlaw had ambdslled
Sheen and killed him. and Jackson had
heard the report Of the gun and become
suspicious. He. hurried to camp to
find me gone and everything taken, and
had traced us TO the lake. he found
indications to prove that a boat had
been used, and he followed the shore of
the lake down until he found the scow
at anchor.
Not one man in thousand would
have shown his nerve. he knew of the
alligators, could see a dozen of them
moving. about, and yet he disrohed, tied
his weapons ,acrcss his head, and swan
straight, for. sthe, .soew,. and reached 1t
unmolested. He saw that the only way
was TO wipe out all the gang. and as
soon as daylight would guide his aim he
began bis work. %. ...... ..-...
When we had buried our comrade We
made a close search of the floating cabin
and found indisputable proof of the
murder of 1--WE or six persons. In an old
wooden bucket we're two gold and three
silver watches, several pocket-knlves,
half dozen rings and 1926 in gold, silver
and greenbacks. As none of these ar
ticles could be traced back to their own
ers, and as vengeance had overtaken the
murderers, we felt no hesitation in TAX
ing possession of everything for the
benefit of Sheen's widow.
The last act was to set fire to the
scow and push It out Into the lake. 1t
was as merciful to consign the bodies to
the flames as to see the alligators fight
over them. Such human wolves did
not deserve burial.

venture happened which am about TO
relate.
One morning he three of us left our
camp beside one of the lakes of the
upper st. Johns for tramp, intending
TO return by evening. While l made
notes and kept the topography, the men
noted the varieties of the wood, nature
of the soil, and other details of interest.
On three different occasions we had en-
countered white men in the dense and
lonely forest, and knew from their looks
and surroundings that they were rene
gades from civilization. Twice we had
stumbled upon the rude camps occupied
by negroes and they were tough look

three miles when | was stung on the

camp, and the men should push on by
compass and cover a certain area, and

HE DID AS HE PLEASED.

A large proportion of the cotton
mill property in Spindleville is, as ev-
erybody knows, in the hands of the
Haughton family, who got it through
the marriage of one of the daughters
of the family to the man who started
the mill business there. When he
died the property, through series of
perfectly natural steps, passed into
the control of the Haughtons. Dan
iel Haughton, the head of the family,
was man of great natural shrewd-
ness and strength of character. His
two brothers, Jacob and Jehiel, were
| always associated with him; but,
while his business proceedings were
understood to be with their advice
and consent, Daniel always held
sort of veto power over his brothers,
and nothing was ever passed over his
veto. He is dead now, but the story
of the way in which he used to "con-
suit his directors Is still told in Spin
dleville.
One day cotton broker called at
the Office of the mill of which Haugh-
ton was treasurer, and offered him
bic lot of cotton at a certain price.
s'This is so large contract" said
Haughton, "that I really ought to
consult my directors about it. They
are inside, and I'll just step In and
consult them"
Jacob and Jehiel were in the inner
office. Daniel went in and explained
the proposition to them and said:
"Well, brother Jacob, do you think
we had better buy that cotton?'
"No, I don't think we had, BROTH
er Daniel; not at that price,"
''Well, brother 'Hiel, what do you
think we had better do about it,"
81 shouldn't buy 1t, brother DAN
iel, not by any MEANS"
"Oo'm!" said Daniel.
Haughton went back to the outer
office, where the cotton broker was
was waiting.
"Well, sir" said he to the man,
"1've consulted my directors, and I'll
take that cotton at the price you nam
ed"
There is story of a similar touch
of nature in the case of my senior
partner at the cotton mills at, call it
Boothby, Conn. After his death one
of the executors found it necessary
TO consult some of the directors. He
accordingly asked Mr.. Parks what
action the board of directors were ac-
customed to take under certain cir
cumstances.
Il do not know" said the director.
"Why, yes" said the puzzled law
yer, ''you must be able to tell me
something. A director for many
years, you of course attended the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1886-03-15
PREACHER AND LANDLORD.

The Lewiston, Me-, Journal tells
this story: When the Rev. DIR. Tap
pan was the agent of the American
Home Mission Society he once made
a trip through the northeastern part
of Maine On horseback. On arriving
at Mattawamkeag, where he was
pleasantly entertained, he was told
he had better remain over night there,
as the place where he intended to
make his next station was rather
rough and uncomfortable, and the
landlord was a rough and blasphe-
nous man who might not use him
we'll. But DR.. Tappan was anxious
to carry out his itinerary as he had
planned it, and journeyed on. He
arrived at his destination at dusk.
The landlord came out, greeted him
cordially, took his horse and put him
up, fastened in to help entertain his
reverend guest, prepared nice warm
supper for him, and was as polite
as lightning rod agent.
Just before DR.. Tappan retired the
landlord and all his family arranged
in procession according to their ages,
filed into the room with much deco
rum, and the doctor was asked to
lead them in family worship, which
he cheerfully did.
The next morning, after the doe
tor had dressed, the host, his wife,
his boys, his girls, all neatly attired,
came in again and the same request
was made and granted.
After good breakfast the preach
er's nag was brought to the door,
saddled and bridled, and the good
man prepared to 60 his way. He
asked for his bill.
Not a cent, said the landlord,
cheerily.
The doctor thought this reply was
strange from a landlord preceded by
such an ill reputation, and said:
Why! / must pay you for my enter
tainment.
You don't owe me cent: said the
inn-keeper. The fact is that tin-ped-
dlers, butchers, drOvers, fishermen,
and all classes of people come here
to stop with me, and | make it
point to take ny pay in their own
line whenever | can. Eve done the
same by you. You have paid. Good
morning sir.

this anecdote himself with great rel
