Four Little Sermons.

A Swedish boy fell out of window
and was badly hurt, but with clenched
lips he kept back the cry of pain. The
king, Gustavus Adolphus, who saw him
fall, prophesied that that boy would
make man for an emergency. And
so he did, for he became the famous
General Bauer. A boy used to crush
the flowers to get their color and painted
the white side of his fathers cottage in
Tyrol with all sorts of pictures, which
the mountaineers gazed at as wonder
full. He was the great artist Titan. An
old painter watched little fellow who
amused himself making drawings of his
pot and brushes, easel and stool, and
said: "That boy will beat me one day"
So he did, for he was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading blood-and-
thunder novel. Right in the midst of it
he said to himself: "Now this will never
do. / get too much excited over it. |
can't study so well after it. So here it
goesl" and he flung the book out into
the river. He was Fichte, the great
German philosopher. Do you know
what these little sermons mean? Why,
simply this, that in boyhood and girl
hood are shown the traits for good OF
evil, which make the man or woman
good or not.

The Presidents Daughter.

Long before the present Mrs. Mckee
was married or her father had become
president of the United States, she was
visiting in Baltimore, at the home of
Senator Davis, whose daughter Kate
was Miss Harrison's most intimate
friend. Both the girls were noted for
their quick sympathies, kind-hearted-
ness and lovely dispositions, and the
following incident serves to show that
the reputation was not unmerited.
The young ladies were one day riding
in a street-car, when an old colored
woman entered and seated herself di-
rectly opposite them. For a few mo-
ments she fumbled in the depths of a
capacious pocket, and then felt care
fully each finger of her cotton gloves,
while gradually look of dismay set
tied upon her ebony features, and
finally desisting her efforts, she sat
gazing hopelessly at the toe of her car
pet slipper. Suddenly bright idea
seemed to strike her, and leaning
toward the two young girls opposite,
she whispered in perfectly audible
tone:
Honeys, wud you mind untyin' dis

Talmage on Boys.

1 am sorry to say that boys are not
generally understood. Between six and
fourteen years of age the masculine
nature is mixture of mischief and
sensitiveness, and spunk, and fun, and
trouble, and pugnacity, which the chem
istry of the world fails to analyZe. A
little girl is definable. She laughs when
she is pleased, cries when she feels
badly, pouts when she is cross, and
eats when she is hungry. Not so with
boy. He would rather go a-nutting
than to eat, forgets at the fish-pond he
has not had his dinner, often laughs
when he feels badly, and looks sub
missive to AN imposition practiced upon
him, till he gets the perpetrator alone
in the middle of the road, and tumbles
him into the dirt till eyes and mouth
and nose are so full the fellow imagines
that before his time, he has returned to
dust. A boy, under calm exterior,
may have twenty emotions struggling
for ascendency. Especially do feel
for boy who has more fun aboard
than he can master. How well | re-
member the country school-house where
we all had to be sedate, though one
boy would make face enough to put
the whole school in danger of running
over with giggle. 1t is an awful thing
for a child not to dare to laugh when
the merriment rises, and wells up till
the jacket gets tight, and the body is a
ball of fun; and he knows that if out of
one of the corners of his compressed
lips a smoker should escape, all the
boys would go off in explosion. | re-
member times when had at school
such responsibility of repression rest
ing on me and proved unfaithful.

He Had Twelve Jewels.

Lord Lonsdale, who was reputed to
have the largest family of daughters
among the English aristocracy, was
once taking walk at B., German
watering place, with his six oldest
daughters. Two other visitors followed
at little distance, and one of them re-
marked in an undertone: Alas poor
man." But the lord, who had over
heard the observation, turned round
and replied with gentle emphasis:
" Not so poor as you think, sir; / have
six other daughters at home. "-Cronik

SPEAKING PIECES, FOR LITTLE SCHOLARS

its pages original Rotations and dialogues,
charades and entertainments for school ex-

brations.
" PENS AND TYPES: or Hints and Helps
for those who Write, Print, Read, Teach or
Learn" in new and improved edition
(having been entirely re-written), by Ben
iamin Drew, is soon to be published by Lee
& Shepard Boston. The first edition of
this valuable work was prepared especially
for the benefit Of persons connected with
the press; but it had a wide circulation
among all professions, and became a refer
ence book in some notable institutions OF
learning. The book gives admirable advice
in regard to writing for the press, proof
reading, giving the ampest instructions as
to how to correct "proof," and what words
should be in italics, and what in Roman
punctuation and its rules; chapter on or
biography, capitalization, reading of Greek

In tho Landes district Of western
France, on tho Gironde, the soil is sandy
and will grow little but pines, Of which
forests have been successfully cultivated.
Tho inhabitants rnbsist almost cxclu-
sively upon the revenues derived from
tho production Of pit props, railway
ties, telegraph poles, fuel and resin. Tho
annual shipments of pit props from
Bordeaux 10 England now amount to
about 175,000 tons, which is twice rs
much as we shipped ten years ago. Tho
ties and poles are used mainly in France
A large quantis Of young pines are also
shipped TO England for manufacture into
paper. Tho poorer classes, especially
those farthest from transportation facili-
ties, give their attention To resin, but
there Is said To have been serious de-
cline in the expectation of that article
from Bordeaux through competition from
tho United States, which has greatly in
creased its exports, and is the chief
source of supply.
This has been q serious misfortune to
the inhabitants of tho Landes district.

tcnsivcly in Bordeaux as an Illuminating
