Sometimes You Cam. Away. Toll.

A wise man says: "a young man used
hardly and roughly will be a tougher
man in the end. he will go into the
fire iron and come out steel" That de-
ponds a great deal on whether he does or
not. And that, again, depends largely
on what the young man is when he goes
in. If he is simply bass wood, and the
very best quality of bass wood at that,
when he goes in, he goes in for good.
He doesn't come out anything. I don't
know where he goes, but he doesn't
come out again. 1t won't do to put all
young men into the fire. Unless the
tempering process be considered a good
way to get rid of them. And then when
you put the young man Of iron into the
fire you don't want to keep him there
too long, Or you'll spoil him. Iron will
burn as well as bass wood, IL you keep it
on the fire long enough. GLOW long
shall you keep him in them" Oh, bless
you; how do 1 know? Ask the wise man,
he began it. -Burdette in Brooklyn

In his last years Goethe had become
monosyllabic and serious and was also
at times very forgetful One afternoon
a hussar from Weimar came riding rap
idly into jena and drew bride at the
door of the professor. This hussar vas
the bearer of a note from Goethe to Voigt,
in which the doctor was p~ressingly in
vited to come to Goethe that same even
ing, and it was added hat a carriage
would come for voigt in about an hour.
Voigt naturally gladly obeyed the sum-
monsa and was driven to Weimar to wait
upon the poet. Arrived at Goethe's well
known Voigt found there, in ad-
dition to Goethe himself, Reimer, the
poets secretary; Eckermand, afterward
the poets Boswell, and one or two other
men whose names are unrecorded.
They were all sitting around a table
and &c the wore a green shade over his
eyes. Nc n spoke a word, but Zach
man had before him a bottle of red wine.
Voigt wished to himself and
to inquire what were his excellency's
commands, but Reimer whispere'' to him
quietly; "Hushi Excellency Is I'll mixing"
Silence again settled down upon the
party and the men slipped their wine
noiselessly. At last, at 10 p. M, the
party broke up, Goethe Diminishing his
friends with his usual formula, 81 wish
my frienas q good night" The next
morning excellency could remember
nothing about the invitation to Voigt.
Some idea must have crossed the poets
mind which made him DESTROYS of seeing
and speaking with the professor, but the
idea had vanished and left no trace. 30
that Voigt returned to jena without hav-
ing learned why he had been SO suddenly
and needlessly summoned to Weimar.-
