How n Farmer Was Rewarded for Kind
ness to Boy.
When Capt. Alva Bradley was twenty
years old he heard of circus at Elyria
and desired TO go, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Money was scarce, but
the temptation was SO very strong that
young Alva determined TO 60 il he had
TO walk all the way. lie went by tie
pass, but when he reached his Mecca he
found the admission to be fifty cents
and he had twenty-five. He was too
big TO be admitted as boy and too
proud TO sneak his way in, so he stood
outside disconsolately and looked at
the flaming posters prodigally displayed
about the grounds. While walking
aimlessly about he was found by an old
farmer, a neighbor of his at home.
swell, Alvy. my boy" said the farm
er, "ain't you going in?"
mop" he answered. 81 just came to
look at the pictures"
But the old man was lonesome and
wanted company, and on that plea sue
ceeded in inducing the young man TO
enter the enchanted place. So "Alvy"
saw the show and carried his quarter
back home with him.
Long atterward, one winter evening,
when the boy Alvy had grown to be a
wealthy shipping merchant, he sat In
his study in deep conversation with
Capt. Stone, The doorbcll rang and
the servant admitted to their presence
an old white-haired. stoop-shouldered
man.
~ wanted to see my boy Alvy once
again, )" he began. tbut you don't know
me, do you, boy? You don't remember
the old man who took you to the circus
once?"
The tears came TO the captains eyes
as he recognized in the aged man the
kind benefactor Of his youth He ex-
tended TO him a cordial welcome, and
they sat together all the evening re-
viewing the years since last they met,
for fortune had not been kind TO the old
man; his home had been removed u
the far west, and he had found IL hard
struggle 10 get the necessaries OF life.
As he was about to leave, an envelope
was thrust into his hands and he heart
the words in the captains tremblial
voice; Heres the money you took mi
TO the circus with when was by
and a little more as interest, which |
has gathered In all these years"
The old man was overcome with sur
| prise and could not express his thanks
but when he reached home he openet
the paper and found II contained checl
for fve hundred dollars-fifty cents 70
the circus ticket and the rest for inter
eat.

ONE DAY.

II Game not when the roses grew
In pale and ruddy splendor;
Whom crystal drops Of pearly dew
Lie in their petals tender;
When calla.lilies tall and fair
Their sweet perfume were flinging;
When soaring larks high in midair
Their lays Of love were singing.
Nor yet when gayly in tho mends
The daisies white were bobbing;
When through tho sedgos and the weedP
The soft south wind went sobbing;
The violets saw not that day,
Nor yet the primrose spnghtly;
1t came in mists and vapors'gray,
That day that ended brightly.
The purple clouds high overhead
Enthusiastically were shifting,
And leaves Of russell, gold and red
From off the trees went drifting.
Iknow how fast my pulses stirred
That day in late November,
When some one softly spoke word,
A word well remember
Asimplo word, and yet thought
The branches bending DER us
Took up the word as II they sought
To make Joyous chorus
lfhowers were dead and bird.notes stilled,
4 Iheard the old sweet story
That autumn day; II love you," flied
With more than summer glory.
