said Hal.
His mother had just reproached him
because he did not attempt to entertain
or amuse a boy friend who had just
gone home.

notice me-" said Hal again.
"Do you enjoy that?"
Oh, don't mind; don't stay long"
9 should call myself very selfish
person if friends called to see me, and
l should pay no attention to them"
Well, that's different; you're grown
up"
"Then you think that politeness and
courtesy are not needed among boys?"
Hal, thus pressed, said he did not ex-
actly mean that; but his father, who
had listened, now spoke: " a boy or a
man who measures his treatment of
others by their treatment of him has no
character of his own. He will never
be kind, or generous, or Christian. If
he is ever to be a gentleman, he will be
so, in spite of the boorishness of others.
If he is to be noble, no ether boys
meanness will change his nature" And
very earnestly the father added; " Re
member this, my boy: You lower your
own self every time you are guilty of
an unworthy action because some one
else is. BE true to your best self, and
no boy can drag you down. "-BudS of

Ethan Aliens Boy Guide.

OF the boy heroes of the Revolution,
the first and almost forgotten one was
Nathan Beaman. In the spring of
l775 he lived with his father, farmer,
near the village of Shoreham. which
was opposite Fort Ticonderoga. Far
mer Beaman was an American devoted
to the cause. Being of a rowing dispo-
sition and fond of play, Nathan had
often crossed the lake and formed the
acquaintance of the boys whose fathers
composed the garrison. The little fell
lows had fine times under the walls of
the fort, and every now and then Ma
than went inside and saw how things
were moving along there In the
month of May, Ethan Allen, at the
head of the famous Green Mountain
Boys, came up through the forests to
surprise and capture, if possible, the
fort and its garrison.
The expedition with which Bene-
dict Arnold was connected was COM
posed of three divisions, one of which
was TO capture some boats at Skenes-
bOro and send them down the lake to
Allen and his men, who were to get
them at Shoreham. But when the re-
nowned Green Mountain leader reached
the latter village, in the night time, not
single boat awaited him. This was a
bitter disappointment, for Allen had
but eighty-three men with him, and his
position was one of great hazard. 1t
looked like madness to assail, with this
small force, an armed place like Ticon-
deroga, yet it was still more dangerous
to remain idle.
owe can't wait for the boats, my
boysW exclaimed the intrepid Allen.
We must assault the fortressp'
In looking for guide the Vermonter
found farmer Beaman, who, as soon as
he understood what was wanted, said:
Why not take my boy? Nathan
knows all about the fort. He's been
all over it, and knows the location of
every rathole, inside and out"
The suggestion delighted Allen, and
little Nathan was called and questioned.
"I'll go, sir" he said at once. 81
know the way to Delaplaces' quarters,
too, it you should want to find him."
Delaplace was the commandant, and,
OF course, the very person whom Allen
wanted. The little party crossed the
lake in such boats as were at hand.
The oars were dipped silently in the
starlit water, and no one spoke above a
whisper. Morning was near at hand,
ana so much precious time had been
lost that every moment had to be put
to use. When the patriots reached the
opposite shore their commander turned

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

llamed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

to Nathan Beaman, and laying his hand
upon his shoulder, said quickly:
We're ready now. Show us thu
way to the sally-port."
Guided by the farmers son, the
mountaineers moved toward the fort,
and, coming suddenly upon a sentry,
heard the swapping of his fusee lock,
and saw him run through covered way
within the walls.
quick" cried the boy, looking up
at Allen, and the soldiers sprang after
the guard and made their way to the
parade ground unopposed.
The enthusiasm of the patriots now
broke forth in shouts of victory, which,
reaching the ears of the British sol
diers, caused them to spring from their
pallets and rush from the barracks,
only to be made prisoners as they APP
peared. Never was a surprise more
omplete-thanks to Nathan Beaman.
When Allen had secured most of the
garrison, he asked the boy to show the
way to the commandments room, and
the two were soon running up the
steps leading to it. Bangl bang! went
Aliens sword against the cOlonel's
door, and the British officer hurried
out of bed to answer the demand. 1t
happened that Allen and Delapace
were old acquaintance, and the reader
may imagine the latter's establishment
when he saw who had hammered at his
door; but, of course, there was nothing
for him to do but to surrender.
The spoil that fell into the hands of
the victors amply repaid them for all
the dangers they had faced, and the
fort remained in the hands of the
Americans until many months later,
when it was abandoned and dismantled
by General St. Clair. Amid tie gen
eral rejoicings that followed this ex-
plot, the part play ed by Nathan Beaman
was not forgotten. His name was on
many tongues and his services were
embalmed in the poetry of the day.
Without him Aliens heroic expedition
would, in all probability, have resulted
in failure. Nathan grew to manhood
and ended his days in peace in Frank
lin county, New York, at the age of
eighty nine years. He lived" says

VacatiOn-Time.

All the world is set to rhyme
Now it is vacation-time,
And a swelling flood of Joy
Brims the heart of every boy.
No more rote and no more rule,
No more staying after school
When the dreamy brain forgets
Tiresome tasks the master sets;
Nothing but to play and play
Through an endless holiday.
Morn or afternoon may all
Swing the bat and catch the ball;
Nimble. footed race and run
Through the meadows in the sun,
Chasing winged scraps of light,
Butterflies in darting flight;
Or. where willows lean and look
Down at others in the brook,
Frolic loud the stream within,
Every arm splashing fin.
Where the thorny thickets bar,
There the sweetest berries are;
Where the shady banks make dim
Pebbly pools the shy trout swim;
Where the boughs are mossiest,
Builds the humming-bird a nest
These are haunts the rover seeks,
Touch of tan upon his cheeks,
And within his heart the joy
Known to no one but boy.
