HIS FIRST TRIP TO TOWN.
Abner Dungrass Strictly Obeys Instruc-
tions, but Makes IA Bad Blunder

Abner Dungrass, from away up beyond
the White Mountains, had penetrated to
the Hub. 1t was Abner first visit to the
city-in fact his first tryp away from home
says the New York Ledger.
A relative, doing business In the metrop-
Oils, had spent the previous summer with
Abner's parents, and in return fer many
kindnesses, he had invited his friends of
the country farm to visit him in his city
home.
And thus Abner CHANGED to be in Bos-
ton and was now dining at hotel with
his host
At first our countryman hardly knew
what to do with himself at tue won
drously laden table. His relative. OBJ
serving his hesitation, whispered to him:
Don't be backward. Abner; help your
self to just what you like.
By and by gentleman sitting opposite
directed a waiter to bring him a plate of
ice cream.
The cream was brought and the gentle
man set it down before him while he fin
ished dish of scallops. Abner looked up
and saw the delicate looking mass in the
plate not far away. 1t was tempting and
he reached forth and took ii. He had put
a spoonful of the frozen mixture into his
mouth, and was hesitating between sur
prise and delight, when the gentleman OPP
poslte rather abruptly aud not very pleas
antlv said;
We'll, my friend, that is what | should
call decidedly cool. -"
"Yaas, responded Abner, innocently,
when he had swallowed the frigid morsel.
Its about the coolest pudd'n / ever last

Effect of the Voice.

Probably no one can fully estimate how
much influence he is constantly exerting
through his tones of voice. Nothing is so
powerful to cheer the dropping energies
of discouraged grolp as the inspiring
tones of hope II one words of a new arriv-
al. Who has not seen the immediate eff
feet of glad and sprigltly voice breaking
in upon a dull and uninterested party of
people? How their eyes brighten, and
their brows clear, und their forms become
erect! says the New York Ledger On the
other hand, let the solemn, or doleful or
fretful voice break in on gay and cheerful
company, and how quickly the smile dies
on the lip. and the depressing influence
vent round! The infant who cannot I'M
derstand word that his mother says. is
soothed and pleased, or grieved and
frightened by their tones, and the seeds
thus sown of love, and gentleness, or of
harsEness and impotence, are sure to bear
fruit III his later development, and exert a
strong influence in mellowing his future
character, and preparing 1t to contend the
better with tie roughness of the world

Presence of Mind.

A uiddle-aged gentleman who was

GROWING OLD.

They say, dear WIFE we're growing old,
| think such talk is rather bold:
lou re younger now than years ago,
4 slender little wife, yon know
But now you challenge all the girls
In work or thought, or unbought curls;
In work your hands can beat the most
OF all the hopeful schoolgirl host
In thought your mind has often been
With Virgil, Shakespeare, or Racine,
Yet far above all classic lore
Gods holy word you studied more.
And though you sometimes glanced at Dickens
You still could feed the hens and chickens;
Your heart, your hands. your head have wrought
For home end friends what gold neer bought
While others curled. and frizzed and prinked,
Your hair just naturally kinkeG
And twisted into pretty curls,
The envy Of the other girls.
Once pale and fragile, now so strong,
m sue, dear wife, your growing young
Your thoughts all fresh and bright and clear,
You seem just in Your prime, my dear.
What! Seventy years. Pshaw, they don't know
How some good folks are made TO grow
With hearts so fresh that they will never
Show decay, but live forever.
My steps are tottering now, know,
Ny journeys end must be quite slow;
But still my thoughts and feelings seem
So young and fresh:-Is II a dream:
Perhaps my second childhood grows
While winter whitens with its SHOWS
My head dwell, childhood let il be,
No dried-up, sour old age for me.
A child in ardent love and JOY,
Love shall my cheerful hands employ;
By faith in Jesus reconciled
I'd enter heaven as q child
Wesspent our golden childhood's years
Oft times in smiles, sometimes i'll tears,
And so. dear wife, our youth Wen hold,
And not in earth or heaven grow old
