Capers.

At Gibraltar, as at all military stations, the
rules in regard to admitting civilians to diff
fercnt parts of the works are very strict. This
is for the safety Of the individual as well rs to
protect the forts from harm. Now il hap
pens that among the Gibraltar rocks the
most common growth is the asparagus and
the caper plant. The caper is gathered under
certain restrictions, and preserved for use.
One day visitor was foohardy enough to
attempt, for trifling wager, TO get out on
the slanting point OF one of the batteries,
overlooking the sea, aud there keep up dane
ing for several minutes. The sentry remon-
strated with the visitor, and ordered him TO
desist Finding, at length, that the stranger
would PERSIST in his foolish and dangerous
antics, the sentry brought his musket to bear
on him, and threatened instant DEATH This
action secured compliance with orders. The
sentry was, however, brought before court
of inquiry on a charge of having exceeded
his authority, and having disregarded in
structions in preventing the strangers dis
posing of his life as he liked best.
The man defended his conduct by referring
to the order of the Governor, that mo one
but the post surgeon should cut capers with

il is very different thing to argue for the
sake of victory, and without regard for the
feelings and comfort of other people.
Dear me this recital is growing very hui
initiating How could | have said that
candy was "tempiDg poison" when box OF
delicious French chocolates was offered TO
me! What an extraordinary young person
Marian, the daughter of the house, must
have thought me especially when we renew
cd our wordy warfare on the subject of first
cousins, second cousins, first cousins once
removed, and the proper way to reckon
them.
Here, surely, no principle was at stake!
1t was ona rainy Monday morning, that |
left that patient and long suffering household,
carrying away with me Marians silk UNI
brela with the ivory handle, for, of course,
| had forgotten to bring one of my own.
Marian never saw that umbrella again, un.
less she beheld it in her dreams With the
easy carelessness of youth, place it in the
umbrella rack at home, together with many
other umbrellas belonging to the numerous
members OF our large family. Somehow, it
disappeared as young peoples things will
disappear in the most curious and unac-
Countable manner.
Marians cousin, sChCOlmale Of mine, aud
sharer in that wretChed visit used occasion
ally TO suggest TO me, that that umbrella had
never been returned, but first hoped that |
should find it, and then, when ii rushed over
me that it had gone forever and forever, and
was worth, perhaps, five or seven dollars,
the thought seemed too dreadful to be borne,
aud put off telling my parents of this mis-
hap from day to day, an from week to week,
until forgot all about it
If | had only told my mother, matters
would have been different, and | sincerely
advise any grl who loses borrowed UNI
brela, or gets into any other bad scrape to
tell her best friends, her parents, without loss
of time.
But even this was not the last and crown
ing act of carelesness, which | was guilty OF
in connection with my first visit. neither
wrote to my young hostess, nor called upon
her 10 thank her for her hospitality. Per
haps | did not then know that one should
always do either one or the other of these
things, after making u visit; but you will
not have the same excuse, my young readers
now that you have been warned of what
courtesy invariably requires ofyou.
| sincerely hope that your first visits
will begin and end more auspiciousy than
mine did.-FLoRENCE HOWE HALL in

lie Modified His Petition.

have lately heard of an old minister who
had retired from active service, but who still
retrained his seat in his former pulpit while
candidates were preaching there. He always
offered the closing prayer, and after asking
the Lord to bless his servant who had broken
the bread of life to his people that day, was
accustomed to add, land may he shine MS q
star of the first magnitude forever aud even"
But it happened one Sunday that a verr dull
aud ordinary preacher occupied the pulpit,
ind the good old minister was unutterably
bored When it was time for the prayer he
offered the usual petition that the Lord would
bless his servant who had addressed The peo-
pie that day, and, here he paused. His faith
was not strong enough to allow him TO con-
clude the sentence in the customary way; so
the conscientious old man added firmly, And

MISCONCEPTIONS.
Familiar Lines Commonly Ascribed TO
the Wrong Authors

Familiar Lines Commonly Ascribed TO
the Wrong Authors.
1t is apcculiar faculty of human memory
10 misquote proverbs and poetry, and almost
invariably to place the credit where it does
not belong.
Nine men out Of ten think that "The Lord
tcmpcrs the wind to tie shorn lamb is from
the Bible, whereas Lawrence Sterne is the
author. pouring oil upon the troubled
waters" is also ascrincd TO the sacred volume,
whereas it is not there; in fact, no one knows
its origin.
Again we hear people say "'rhe proof of
the pudding is in chewing the string" This
is arrant nonsense, and the proverb says:
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating
thereof, and not in chewing the string"
Nothing is more common than to hear:
A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still.
This is an impossible condition of the mind,
for no one can be convinced OF an opinion and
at the same time hold an opposite one
What Butler wrote was emincntly sensi-
bic:
He that complies against his will
Is OF his ownIOpinon still.
A famous passage Of Scripture is often mis-
quoted thus :"He that is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stoue." 1t should
be Let him first cast q stone"
Sometimes we are told Behold how great
fire a little matter kindleth," whereas St.
James said Behold how great matter lit
tie fire kindleth," which is quite different
thing.
We also hear that a miss is as good as a
mile" which is not as sensible or forcible as
the true proverb "a miss of an inch is as
good as a mile"
Look before you leap" should lie And
look before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with having
written

Doing Things Well.

There are three qualities that will insure
success in any walk in life; namely abiityB
integrity, and industry; and though, at first,
il might seem as if the first of these must be
a gift anu cannot be cultivated, you will find
that it is fact that every man has ability, If
lie only finds out in which line of studious ac-
ton it lies. Ability is the power of doing q
thing well. A man should learn early that he
cannot have ability in everything; that 10,
few men have great deal OF general ability.
The first rule should be that whatever 10
worth doing at all is worth doing we'll" A
man who does bis best in whatever he under
takes, will soon find in what direction his
efforts meet with most marked success.

Upon the night strikes sweet the triIl
OF nightingale and wlppuOrwil,
And down the vale hear the call
To Dancing in the Barn"
An, me.
So long agr it seems to be-
That Dancing in the Barn.
The torchight falls on each young face,
As. wheeling IN the country dance,
Now is. now out. our shadows chase
About the dear old fashioned place,
Can ought in life So much entrance
As"Dancng in the Barn."
An, no!
Forr n is fair, but 1t must 20,
Like ncing in the Barn.
But, a at night, when as Of yore
h. the haunting old refrain
WhCr we il done. il comes no more:
And an my heart, now you were Sore
And yet my feet kept time again
With Dancing in the Barn"
Too tate:
The hour had struck Of life and fate
To Dancing in the Barn.
Long after. in a crowded street,
y poor old, blind man fcebiy played
just where the town and river meet.
Ny heart stood still, my steps delayed,
For that old tune which stopped and stat
Was Dancing in the Barn.
And on
What tales it told of long ago
That Dancing in the Barn.
All, poor young love, thought you dead.
And yet | shed these sudden tears
After so many silent years:
II seemed a requiem DER your head
That dancing in the Barn"
But deep
In my poor heart that doth sleep.
Win Dancing in the Barn.
