Fathers Kncclimg-Placc.

The children were playing "hide
the handkerchief. sat and watched
them a long while, and heard no
unkind word, and saw scarcely o
rough movement. But after awhile
little Jack, whose turn it was to hide
the handkerchief, went to the opposite
end of the room, and tried to secrete it
under the cushion Of big arm chair.
Freddie Immediately walked over to
him, and said, in low, gentle voice /:
"Please, Jack, don't hide the hand
kerchief there; that's fathers kneeling-
place."
Fathers kneeling- place!" 1t seemed
like sacred ground to me, as it did to
little Freddie; and by and by when the
years roll on, and this place shall see
father no more forever, will not the
memory of this hallowed spot leave an
impression upon the young hearts that
time and change can never efface, and
remain as one of the most precious
memories Of the old home? o that
there was a fathers kneeling-place"
in every family !-Syd1aey Advocate.

Industry Wins.

Everybody knows how many difficult
ties stand in the way Of young man
who is in search of employment. There
are thousands of young fellows who are
complaining how hard it is to obtain a
position. And yet the business man
who has vacancy in his Office finds it
hard to fill it satisfactorily.
There are too many young men who
have not the industry and fidelity to
command success by deserving it. They
are looking out for short hours, easy oc-
cupation, and good salary. When
they work, their chief objects seem to
be to get through as quickly as posi-
BILE, and go for what they call good
time.
This is not the way to become bust
ness men, or to accomplish anything in
this world. 1t is not young fellows of
this kind who control railroads, manage
newspapers and build up great enter
prises. There are some of different
stamp, who are not afraid of work; who
can stand long hours; who are not al
ways thinking of a good time; who are
ready to lend hand. There is room
for them, and work for them to do.
Such boys grow into men like those
who have raised their country to its
present pitch Of prosperity and great
ness.

The popular impression that the gen

delicious harmony and correctness are

Thompson was playing an Irish part
it seems funny to think of him doing a
dialect, doesn't it?-at Harry Martins
variety theater in Pittsburgh along in
February, 1875. An unusually severe
attack of rheumatism, to which lie is
still subject, suddenly made him very
lame. He couldn't walk without the aid
of stout cane, and he couldn 'tplay that
Irish role thus equipped. He was not
wealthy then. For some years he had
worked hard in the vaudevilles, but his
funds had never reached an interest
paying figure. 1t was case of mo
play no pay" just then. He couldn't
afford to remain idle, and there was
nothing for him to do save to find part
which would not require agility of any
sort. It's a queer task to build role
about an attack of rheumatism and a
cane, but Thompson did it, and he did
it quickly. He had lived since 1s47 in
tbs village of swanzey, N. H. There
he had known intimately and studied
thoroughly the two town Characters,
Capt. Otis Whitcomb and Uncle
Joshua Holbrook. It came to him as an
inspiration to make a sketch out of their
quaintness. The work took him just
two days. When it was finished there
were only three characters in it, Nellie
Primrose and John Martin, besides Josh,
and all were taken from real life, with
out changing even the names. Oddly
enough, the people who went to the
variety theater liked it immensely, and
it certainly pleased Thompson, because
he could limp whenever he pleased, and
nobody saw him who didn't think it was
a part Of his business"
But, even with the limp, which huc-
tuated with the barometer, the sketch
grew fast. Before the year was out two
more characters were in it-Tot, the
crossing sweeper, and Dolby, the young
Englishman. Pretty soon a whole act
was added, and by and by it was full
fedged drama. So that Joshua Whit
comb" like Topsy, "just growed." It
was surely never born. Everybody
knows the rest.
