A Noble Revenge.

De Quinccy gives beautiful an- ccdotc, illustrative of the nobility of generous heart:
 An officer in the army one day struck common soldier. He was young and hot tempered, and he for got the respect due to himself, and the duty he owed his neighbor.
 The soldier whom he struck was a young man, too, and noted for his courage; he felt the insult deeply. Military discipline forbade that he should return the blow; he could only use words. Perhaps he was hot tempered, also, for he said to the officer:
 l will make you repent it ,'
 So they were ill friends.
 One day in the heat of furious engagement, the young soldier saw an officer who was wounded and separated from his company gallant ly striving to force his way through the enemies who surrounded him He recognized his insulter and with out second thought rushed to his assistance. Supporting the wounded man with his arm, together they fought their way through to their own lines.
 Trembling with emotion, the of iiccr graspcd the hand of the soldier and stammercd out his gratitude.
 Noble man! What a return for an insult so wantonly givenl'
 Il told you l would make you re- pent it. "
 And so they became fast friends.

COMPENSATION.

One woman in furs and velvet; Another in squallid rags; Que rode by in her stately carriage; The other stood on the flags. One woman, alone in her carriage; Ky the other, q little child, Who, watching the prancing horses, Looked mp in her face and smiled. She stopped to her boy and kissed him, And gave him q hor1cd crust; The other had just left the place Where her one son lay in dust. One back to her darkencd mansion Wealth cannot hold death at bay One back 10 the hut where labor Bought bread for the coming day. Perhaps, as over the sand of life, Times gre.t tide ebbs and flows, More fites among us are equal Than their outward seeming shows.

Opposite a little railroad station about five miles below Jackson, Miss, says the New York Sun, was dense thickct, and on one of the bushes hung q white rag. A dozen of us sat with our feet hanging over the platform, and while every man had revolver on his hip, no one had thought of shooting at the rag. It was hot day, and we were smoking and talking, when a native came up the track and sat down with the rest of us. Presently he out with big revolver and aimed at the rag and pulled the trigger. The cartridge didn't explode, and there was a gen eral laugh over the failure.
 ''It was sich blamed nice mark to shute at that couldn't resist" :" he explained, seeming much chagrincd. 'Perhaps some of you 'uns can drop that rag
 Everybody out with his gun and began blazing away, some shooting high and some low, and we had fusillated for five minutes when a second native appeared, crawling out of the brush on hands and knees, and as he stood before us he said:
 "What hev done that you all wants to kill me-"
 "Goodncss gracious, man, were you in there; /" exclaimed one of the crowd,
 Right in thar, stranger, and it seemed to me the wah had come back. didn't git hit, but you hev done killed my mule, l reckon"
 We ran over with him, and sure enough there was his mule, down on his back and kicking his last, with four or five bullets in him.

 He was informed that we would make up a purse and pay the dama- ges, and we clipped in and made il s65. He took the money and dis appeared soon after, followed by the first arrival, and they had got long start when a third native appeared and asked;
 Bin any shutin' yere!"
 Yes"
 "Shute at that ar rag;"
 "Yes.
 Kill a mewl:"
 Yes.

 "Ies, Do you know anything about it."
 No, not much. 1 sold the ami maj to the old Wheezen bout an hour ago for Sl0, and l sorter reckoned he wanted him to play the old dodge with. How much did you raise.

A Portland boy committed some misdemeador for which he was about to receive punishment at the hands of his mother, The boy begged to be allowed to go to his room. Per mission was granted and the child went up stairs to his own room and closed the door behind him. The mother followed and listened outside after telling him that he must hurry and come down and receive his pun ishment. The boy went to the side of the bed, knelt down, and this was his prayer:
 Dear Lord, if you love little boys and want to help me out, now is the time."
 The prayer was answered.
