A Good Mans Tenderness.

Boys are sometimes tempted to think
that to be tender-hearted is to be weak
and unmanly. Yet the tenderest heart
may be associated with the strongest
and most fOrcible mind and will. Take,
for example, the story told of him to
whom we owe our wonderful railway
system. George Stephenson went one
day into the upper room of his house
and closed the window. 1t had been
open long time, because of the great
heat, but now the weather was becom-
ing cooler, and so Mr.. Stephenson
thought it would be well to shut it.
He little knew what he was doing.
Two or three days afterward, however,
he CHANGED to observe q bird flying
against that same window and beating
against it with all his might again and
again, as if trying to break it. His
sympathy and curiosity were aroused.
What could the little thing want? He
went at once to the room and opened
the window to see. The window
opened and the bird flew straight to
one particular spot in the room where
Stephenson saw nest. The poor bird
looked at ii, took the sad story in at a
glance, and iluttered down to the floor
broken-hearted, almost dead. Stephen
son. drawing near to look, was filled
with unspeakable sorrow. There sat
the mother-bird, and under it four tiny
little ones-mother and young all APP
parently dead. Stephenson cried aloud.
He tenderly lifted the exhausted bird
from the floor, the worm it had so long
and so bravely struggled to bring to its
home and young still in its beak, and
carefully tried to revive it, but all his
efforts proved in vain. 1t speedily
died, and the great man mourned for
many a day. At the same time the
force of George Stephenson's mind was
changing the face of the earth, yet he
wept at the sight of this family and
was deeply grieved because he himself
had unconsciously been the cause of
death. Manchester Times.

All the world has heard of Hoes
prining-presses which have done so
much to make books cheap. The
founder of the business was Robert
Hoe, young English carpenter. The
story of bis arrival in New York is thus
related by the man who saw him, a
stranger, and took him in, little dream
ing of the kindness he was doing to
mankind in general: In 1903 the yell

children by my side. | saw strange

he; and he continued, " am just come

you take him in?" " If thee pleaseth,"
she replied. {" If he takes the fever

DEAR" said |. For this God will
bless YOU" Within a week he was
down with the fever. l got the best
medical advice. My wife and | nursed
him. On the fourth day of the fever
he was under the operation of powerful
medicine. The fever ran through his
veins and drank his English blood. I

A Mothers Prayers.


The instance given below from the
Presbyterian Observer is but one of a
thousand similar ones What richer
legacies can parents leave their chill
dren than earnest petitions in their
behalf? =" Surely among all prayers
that 90 up to God none are dearer or
more prevailing than the intercessions
of parents for their children. They
are the hallowed breathings of the
purest, tenderest love. Such prayers,
if persistent, believing and importu-
nate, may we not say that God always
answers in some way in the end?
Monica, the mother of Augustine, pravs
for her son. For time he goes deeper
and deeper into sin, and it seems that
the mothers supplications are unheard
or unavaiing. But she faints not: she
will not give him up, she refuses to be
disheartened. For many years her son
wanders far from God, farther and
farther; but she stays at her altar un-
dismayed, believing still and pleading
with renewed earnestness. At last all
her intercessions are answered in enc
hour, when Augustine falls down at
Jesus feet in submission, and instantly
turns all the wealth of his splendid
life into the service Of his new Mas

poor widow on the hillside, who has
three of her children sick. She is poor
and is member of the church. Take
with you a nurse and some one to cook
their meals. When you get there read
the twenty-third Psalm, and kneel by
her side and pray; then you will find
out where heaven is. Next day, as the
evangelist was walking through the
village, he met this same wealthy
planter, his face beaming with Joy. He
spoke after this manner: Mr. Jones,
I've found out where heaven is. |
went and did as you dire cted me. We
took up the wagon-load of groceries,
and the poor widow was completely
overcome with joy; she could not ex-
press her thankfulness. AS read to
her the twenty-third Psalm my heart
was filled with thankfuness to God,
and when | prayed the angels came
down, and l thought | was nearer to
heaven than | had ever been in my life.

Unwise Suggestions.


Not long ago was talking with a
shrewd Scotchman who had left the
church of which he was a member be-
cause the minister had followed the
fashion, and was constantly setting
forth the most subtle forms of unbelief.
The minister called to see after the
missing sheep, and inquired as to the
reason of his absence. Well" eX-

better for not knowing. You give me
on Sunday what | have got to get id
of for myself, and it takes me the
whole week to do it. 1t reminds me of
an ostler who went to confession. He
had gone satisfactorily through the list
of questions touching frailties common
to humanity; then the priest came to
those special to the mans calling.
Do you butter your horses teeth that
they may not eat their corn?' The
simple ostler expressed his indignant
horror. 'Sure and your reverence
such thing l never heard of in my
life The next time the man came to
confession this sin came out. He had
buttered the horses teeth, etc. Tho
priest was indignant now. The ostler
explained: We'll, your reverence,
ever since you put me up to it | have
not been able to get it out of my
head. ''-ChriSiidn 1drocdte.
