his son Richard-a quiet, demure lad
who watched him from the square. high

Only a Little Thing.

1t is by little things that we form our es.
Inmates of character. We may not often
have opportunities Of Judging by notable
deeds and valorous action as to the true
nature of the acquaintance we casually
meet or the companion with whom we
walk and work from day to day, but trifles
are always in the air by which we infer
much as to their heart and brain and in
tention. | saw a charming young girl the
other morning discard a rose because its
leaves were a bit withered and its fresh
ness just a trife diminished by exposure to
the air After the young girl had gone
carefully gathered up the fallen petals she
had left almost as / would have befriended
an abandoned baby or lost child, and l
thought to myself as l did so, ''Tll wager
a cookey that girl would prove tickle in
love and inconstant in friendship"
To cast aside fading rose bespeaks a
lighthearted indifference that might lead
one to forget the sweetness of a friend
when that friend had reached the time of
life's decline, or to dismiss a lover when
that lover grew pale and worn and tired in
the friction of the worlds uneven contest
with sorrow and want and care 1t is the
prerogative of youth and beauty to be a
little hard and cruel. An old lady would
not have thrown away a Jack rose because
it had dropped from its first loveliness.
Experience broadens and deepens and
sweetens the heart of the old and makes
them loyal to the friend, the lover and the
rose of a vanished but unforgotten youth

Among Mr.. Grundy's Pictures of the
Past" is one of a small. irascible captain of
the royal navy, who for some inexplicable
reason had been made the manager Of the
Manchester and Leeds railway, then newly
opened for a few miles from Manchester.
This violent little naval officer issued
pamphlet Of instructions to the men, a
portion Of which was devoted to engine
drivers. Thrilling stories Of the result Of
want of caution abounded.
In those early days, wherever the charac-
ter of the country favored it, the rails were
laid, not upon wooden sleepers, as was soon
found more desirable, but upon square,
bedded blocks OF stone.
The captains story went that some care
less workmen had left one of these blocks
of stone in dangerous proximity to the line
of rails. Now mark the advantage of the
cautious engineer.
He saw the great block and knew the
danger, so ''he put his engine "a much as
possible on the other rail and just missed
the stone, otherwise he must have hit itP'

We get a remarkable illustration of what
life in Ireland was in 1910, when Messrs,
Colclough and Sheridan opposed Mr.. Alcock
for the representation of the county of
Wexford. Several tenants of person sup
porting Alcock declared that they should
vote for the two other candidates. This
was resented, and Mr. Colclough was called
upon to refuse their votes. He declared
that he had in no manner canvassed them
and that he would not direct them how
they should vote He was answered, "Re-
ceive their votes at your peril"
Before the opening Of the next days poll
the rival candidates were on the field to
determine the tenants right by the pistol.
Many hundreds were present. Among
them were several magistrates. The
ground was marked The crowd separated
on either side, as their party feelings die
tated; the word was given, and Mr.. Col
clough fell, shot through the heart. With
in two hours afterward his opponent was
returned duly elected.
At the next assizes he was tried for muir
der before Baron Smith, who openly de-
clared against a capital conviction, and the
jury without moments hesitation pro
nounced verdict of "Not guilty" The
parties to the duel had been intimate
friends, and Alcock, though acquitted,
never recovered his self composure. His
intellect faded, and his sister, doubly
wounded, went mad and died.-Leeds Mer-
