SMALL BEGINNINGS.
fro BE CONTINUED.

How Nature Works Slowly Outward from
terminating Points.
An old navigator, describing his voy-
age through the Southern Atlantic,
mentions certain coral reefs which
rose in sharp peaks above tho sea, and
about which the floating woods, mud
and wreckage were slowly gathering.
These sharp peaks are now solid and
broad island, on which great forests
have grown and villages have been
founded. Tho rock made by the tiny
insects became oonter around which,
in the course Of centuries, land formed.
Nature apparently loves to work thus
slowly outward from terminating
points. A bird drops on the coast a
single seed from far-distant country.
The seed takes root, blooms, bears fruit
and spreads, until its peculiar growth
covers the whole continent.
A little stream of water eats for itself
q channel down into tho earth; a thou
sand other streams hurry to Join 1t, and
at last mighty lake covers the ground.
A microbe, invisible TO the naked eve,
tho germ of smallpox, perhaps, or OF
consumption, lights upon tho tongue or
skin of a human being and becomes
center OF disease, until tho whole body
Is given over to death.
Has our reader ever thought that the
same process OF development is all tho
time going on in the spiritual world?
Every human bcing-ho himself, though
he be but school-boy-is center
which attracts other human particles,
which grows outwardly, until it fills
place and exorts wide influence in the |
world for good or evil. lasfA i
A man or woman may be center Of !
OF poetry, Of fun, of kind |
ness, Of mnllco or OF crime.
No matter how stupid, or weak, or in
we arc, each OF us has his |
circle about him, influenced by him,
just as the least taper borne through o
foggy night has its nimbus OF red light

necessary compunctions OF conscience al
having been so rude TO tho young man.
However, he said nothing more, but
walked rapidly away.
Tho reporter. OF course, followed him
and did not lose sight OF him until he
turned into the Beaver House. Then
Jimmy ran to tho nearest telegraph
Office and sent this dispatch to a Now
York newspaper; 1000 words inter
view with Lawrence Drane, escaped
maniac. Very violent. Shall have him
locked up in half hour"
This done he returned to tho Beaver
House, learned that tho gentleman had
gone upstairs TO SEQ friend, sent a
message TO police headquarters and sat
down to write glowing account OF the
capture, which ho regarded as good as
consummated, FOR his local paper and
his New York patron. lie had directed
tho answer to his telegram to be sent
TO the Beaver House, and 1t came Just
a. two stalwart policemen from head
quarters hurried in. Jimmy began TO
explain the situation TO them as he
+. opened tho envelope, but when he read
the dispatch his jaw dropped in a way
that threatened to pond his countenance
in twain. This was tho editors an.
swer:
Don't want IT, Must be mistaken.

night
The policemen growled and poked
fun at the reporter, but Jimmy was SO
sure that he was right, and argued 80
earnestly that they consented TO stay
awhile and take look at the alleged
Lawrence Drane. !
Meantime the victim Of this pursuit
had scanned the register OF tho Beaver
House on the dates Just subsequent TO
the theft Of his clothes and belongings.

A party Of countrymen were In town

another.
After inquiring tho prico of admission
they decided TO pool their issues and

Drane was torn by many confiictine
emotions. The old clergyman's manner
was so kind that Drane could have
kissed his venerable hand, and his
error was so annoying that Drane
longed TO break his venerable neck.
My dear :" he was going 10 say
my dear SIR" but Mr.. Knowles let him
get no further than the adjective. He
spread his hands over the pair, In the
familiar attitude, and Nellie, taking
the hint, fell upon Drane's neck. His
utter inability to struggle against cir
cumstances led him absolutely TO tears;
and the Rev. Mr.. Knowles, taking out a
large handkerchief, cried softly in
| unison.
They were all SO much occupied that
they did not hear the door-bell, nor had
their attitudes changed by hairs
breadth when the door opened and Mrs
Bessie Harland, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
walked In. Drane saw her out OF the
corners Of his eyes, and he tried hastily
TO shake Nellie's arms from around his
neck, but they wero clasped hard and
fast, and nothing could loosen them.
Bessie gavo q little sigh which was al
most sob, and sank upon tho sofa.
There were flrst-rate prospects OF a gem
uine faint now, and Drane's agony was
proportionately increased. s't I
I At the sound Of her late mistress
sob, Nellie turned her head, and when
she saw who had entered her dismay
was so plainly written on her face that
even the faint-sighted old pastor saw 1t.
He misinterpreted IL, OF course, and cast
look Of disapproval upon Bessie.
ai"Young woman said he, "are you
tho unhappycause of difference between
these two?' slg sF1G mao W
But Bessie paid little attention 10 his
words. She rose unsteadily from the
sofa, threw up hor head with o pitiful
little attempt at dignity and said: +"

BUFFALO, N. Y, AMERICA.
FIRST CABIN, No. 1877.
There were moro words than these
but the name and address Of the owner
were enough to startle him and throw {
great light on the situation. This "Mrs

run away with his Bessie's property

This discovery, however, had to be

who had brought Bessie Harland so

when the young woman, blushing fitful-
