An Austin gentleman tells us the
following good story about q man who
refused to allow anybody to take i'm
proper liberties with his name, which
was A. Gourd. He belonged to Vir-
ginia regiment, weighed about 200
pounds, and would fight cross-cut saw
at the drop of the hat. He had been
badgered so much in early life about
his name. that it was not safe to mention
it, even respectfully, in his presence
His fellow soldiers knew and appreci-
ated his weakness, or rather his
strength, and governed themselves ac-
cordingly; but when a new recruit, who
was given to putting on airs, and whom
it was desirable to take down peg,
was mustered in, Gourd was utilized
for the purpose. The soldiers would
discuss gourds on general principles
and the following conversation would
take place.
II say, Mr. Recruit, how big was the
biggest gourd you ever saw"
II saw one once about as big as wa
termelon."

that is as big around as barrel"

"But I tell you we have. Our gourd
weighs 200 pounds"
Eyes. suppose SO. That is another
one of those soldier yarns +"
"Well our gourd is over there in that
tent"
The soldier would ut last be over
come by curiosity to take look at the
big gourd, and would stroll into private
A. Gourd's tent, who would ask the
stranger what he wanted.
Nothing, only heard there was a
big gourd in this tent, and /"
Before the recruit could finish, A.
Gourd was busy tanning the soil with a
very green recruit.-Ieras ,SJtings.

PrecOciOus Children.

The idea that genius reveals itself
early in life does not at once recon-
mend itself to common sense. Observa-
ton OF nature as whole suggests, first
of all, perhaps, that her choicer and
more costly gifts are the result of a
long process ofpreparation. And, how
suggestiveness in the thought that in
tellectual distinction is the reward of
strenuous adolescence and manhood
than in the supposition that it can be
reached by the STRIPPING at bound
through sheer force of native talent.
And it may not improbably have been
lively perception OF this ethical signif-
canoe which fostered in the classic mind
so widespread disbelief in early prom
ises of great intellectual power. We
find typical expression of this senti-
ment in the saying Quintilian: "Illud
ingeniorum velut prncox genus non
temere umquam prevent ad frugem. I"
That is to say, the early blossoms of
talent is rarely followed by the fruit of
achievement. 1t is evident that this
saying embodies something like q gen
eral theoryof the relation between rank
of talent and rate of development.
Where superior intellectual ability
shows itself at an early date, it is of the
sort that reaches it's full stature early,
and so never attains to the greatest
hight. On the other hand, genius of
the finer order declares itself more
slowly. In order to estimate his sound
hess OF this view, two lines of inquiry
would be necessary. We should need
to ask, first Of all, what proportion of
those who had shown marked precocity
have afterward redeemed the promise
of their youth; secondly, what number
of those who have unquestionably OBJ
tanned a place among the great were
previously distinguished by precocity.
These two lines of investigation are,
however, in a measure distinct. 1t may
turn out that large proportion Of
clever children never attain to anything
but mediocrity in later life, and yet the
the majority Of great men have been re-
markable as children. Hence, we may
contine ourselves in the present essay
to the second branch of the above in
quiry-the retrogressive search for signs
of precocity in the early life of those
who have attained distinction. Popu-
lay Science Monthly.

Girls Who Lure Men TO Ruin.

Not many years ago a prominent
minister who afterward became q
Bishop, told me at the dinner-table of a
gentleman, after the ladies had retired,
an incident equally illustrative of the
perils of New York and of the simplicity
Of the man. He was walking through
side street not very far from his par
sonage, when he observed girl at the
sidewalk crying. She seemed to be
only about - years old, and the good
pastor felt moved to inquire what might
be her loss or grief. "Oh," saids the
girl, II have been looking to find a
minister who will go and see my mother.
She is poor, and none Of these rich
ministers will go to see her" II ana
minister" said the rector; where is
your mother?" He took the child
hand, and it hardly occurred to him as
he went along the pavement that some
MISUNDERSTANDING some policeman
noted him particularly in his careful
and almost clerical dress accompanying
child evidently far beneath his own
station. He went along the street, de-
scended to Third Avenue and continued
beyond it, and the child turned into a
house, going through a hall. The
minister went up one flight of stairs
and the girl beckoned him further on.
Something he saw or felt or had re-
fected caused him to pause. He now
looked at the child's face again and saw
different light in it from what had APP
pearetl upon the streets. A feeling OF
fear took possession of him and he said:
II won't so up there without some person
l know to accompany me-" The child
turned, and, running down few steps.
seized him said: "If you don't give me
money Ill have You arrested for follow
ing me home" He saw in q moment
the situation he was in-liable to be
paraded in every newspaper in the town
next day for indulgences he had never
conceived, his motives misconstrued,
his family and congregation scandalized.
At that moment he saw the bright badge
of a policeman come up the hall, and
supposed himself to be already in the
meshes Of the law. But the man spoke
to him by name, told him that he had
followed him under the belief that he
was deceived, and thereupon arrested
the girl and her mother, who followed
that line of business and kept respect
able men spotted, so to speak, SO as the
better to decoy them. In one Of Ford's
or Beaumonts plays occurs this very
scene, dated back to the commence
ment of the seventeenth century, where
