They walked arm IN arm down one
OF the shady avenues Of which the
historical city OF Lebanon IL noted.
One was young man just stepping
from the boyish pathway into the
broad highway of manhood. His
form, though slim, was symmetrical In
ITS outline. His face bore look of
proud satisfaction, and into his dark
brown eyes came that soft, subdued
light Tint only comes 10 the eyes when
the delicate and sensitive heartstrings
vibrate and CULVER when pierced by
the niagic wand of love. The other
was young girl Just budding into
womanhood. Her form was the enn-
hodiment of symmetry and grace; her
queenly head was clothed In a pruftl-
sion of golden tresses, which fell In
waving ringlets down over shoulders
uf the most exquisite mold. Her eyes,
blue rs the arch of heaven, shown
with light that would have put To
blush the most brilliant diamond that
ever came from lndia's mines. Her
cheeks had the velvet softness of the
sun-kissed peach of the tropics. Her
| lips, red as the red, red rose, reminded
/ tAiC va thS VlthAthk HNtAto w tiAN ftAo-
sion flower only seen In tropical gar
dens of the East.
"Dear darling one, beautiful pearl OF
the Santianl,n cried the young man,
as he tenderly drew her to a seat at the
entrance of Isabella Park, and pressed
her walking-jersey 10 his wildly-bcnt-
ing heart, "Dh, how l have longed for

coERAqE REo llREp.

The greatest battle man may
have to fight, is with his own pas
sions, and for this he requires moral
courage to support him in the hour
of need. A person without moral
courage is despised by everyone.
He always Yields to the advice of
others, whether good or bad, has nc
opinion of his own, and belongs to
no party. How many men has not
the want of moral courage ruined?
How many men, when they have
lost their fortune and reduced their
family to want, have not the moral
courage to try and retrieve their
loss? How many from the same
cause sit idly by the wayside, and
let honor, distinction and glory
slip through their fingers! They
have neither the courage nor the
perseverance to go forward, and
thus the daf of labor passes, and
the night of misery closes over
them, leaving nothing but dark
ness, rags and sorrow. Self-con-
quest is the greatest of all con-
quests. When one has conquered
self, all other conquests are easy.

feeling arising from kidney and liver
trouble" John Leslie, farmer and

sunshine, and when it was nice and
dry. she asked what else she could
do for it.
"Oh," answered the seed, "just
keep me in a safe, dry place
till spring, and then plant
me in The ground where I can have
rain and sunshine, and then / will
thank you for being SO kind, by grow
ing into grapevine for YOU"
The little girl did not feelas though
she had done very much for the seed,
but she thought she would like very
much to see it grow into grapevine,
SO she put it into box and kept it
safe and dry till Spring came with its
warm sunshine and rains.
During the winter she often looked
at it, but she could never get it to
talk to her again, and when spring
came she put it in the ground, and
after awhile itgrew, just as it had
said it would.-Florence A. Pine, in

JUST LIKE A GIRL.

"What beautiful garden It's going to be"
Said Faith, as she planted her pansy bed;
"With morning glories to cover that tree,
And dozens of roses, yellow and red.
"And may be-" she added, the earnest thought
Iluming the face that was sweet and fair,
eve can make little nosegays Of every SORT
For the hotel ladies to buy and to wear"
"That's Just like q grill" said indolent Joe,
AS he spilled his sisters begonia seeds;
"But the worms will ruin the roses, l know;
And the garden will be overrun with weeds
"When the tenderest seeds decay or bake,
And the others are all by the Leghorns
scratched,
You will find you have made silly mistake
In counting your chickens before they are
hatched."
"What dire prediction" said Faith, with q
laugh;
"Don't prophesy further, beg, l beg
For I'd rather count my chickens by half,
Than to kill them all off while yet in the
egg"

The Story of a Grape Seed.

Once little girl held III her hand
agrape. She was just going to eat
it when she heard a small, squeaky
voice cry, II want to get out, | want
to get out.
The little girl looked all around,
but she did not see anybody, so she
thought she would eat her grape, and
was just going to put it into her
mouth again, when she heard the
same little voice say again, II want
to get out. Please let Inc out"
The little voice sounded just as
though it was in the grape, so the
little girl asked, "Where are your"
and the little voice answered, "In this
grape house. Please let me out"
"How shall l let you out?" asked
the little girl.
"Why, eat the grape, of course"
said the voice, and then it added,
"but be sure and not swallow me-"
So the little girl ate the grape very
carefully, looking all the while for
the owner Of the small, squeaky
voice. She found nothing but some
seeds, but when she put one of these
on the table, the squeaky voice said,
ooh how glad am to get out! l
felt very comfortable in that house
for awhile, but it is high time for me
to come out and be in the world a
little while before some one plants
me in the ground to grow"
Then the little girl saw that the
voice belonged to one Of the seeds.
She could not help wondering how
little seed like that could expect to
see much Of the world without any
eyes to see with, or any legs to carry
it around. She thought she would
ask the seed about it, so she said,
''How do you expect to see much of
the world when you cannot walk
around or see anything"
~ don't expect to see anything"
answered the seed; show can 1,

little girl.

Keen sense Of Pressure.

The relative sensibility TO pressure
of different parts OF tho body Is aseer
tanned by placing weights OF the same
size but of different amounts upon the
skin. BY this means IL has been found
that the parts which have tho keenest
sense of pressure arc generally those
in which sensibility of touch is most
developed. The smallest weight which
can DO perceived is 800 of grain,
and this is recognized by the skin Of
the forehead, tho temples, tho buck OF
the hand and the forearm. The tips al
the fingers can perceive a weight OF
$40 of grain. the chin and
abe nose ono of three.fourths
of grain, while tie finger
nails do not notice one weighing
less than 10 grains. Considerable
pressure may DO exerted without rs
being perceived, If it is uniform.
Thus. when the hand is plunged into
mercury, the increased pressure Is
only felt at the line corresponding
with the surface of the nuid. New
