New Ork Tribune.
Owe were driving down a steep
mountain road in the Adlrond2cks,
one Of those with 4 mound like a
grave csos5in8 it alright angles every
nd or 50. These mounds are to pre-
vent the ram torrents from tearing the
road to pieces. They turn the waters
into the ditch at the side, but they
make driving a hazardous pursuit.
Rounding = corner somewhat sharper
than a right angle, We came onup a
hay wagon, upturncd by the roadside
1t had been heavily loaded with fra
grant hay when it upset, and the lean
horses were gladly standing STILL but
they looked back and wistfully eyed
the load on which the wagon was now
posed jauntiIy. We could see no
driver, bu. could hear heart breaking
sJbs coming from somewhere.
"Gctting down from our buggy, we
stepped from the road on top, or
rather on the bottom OF the wagon,
and pecrin8 over the fat side Of the
spit hay, saw a very small boy, crying
rs if his heart would break. His
violent gri-f had prevented him from
noticing our approach, and when he
hcari our hail, he turned his tear
stained face up for = second and then
bent it down again IN uncomfortable
SORROW Supposing that he was cry
ing for fear Of the boating his father
might give him on his return for
spilling the load, and wondering that
4 child Of such tender age should be
allowed to drive team Of horses at
all, We said. in chorus, for there were
several Of US male and female:
Don't cry, little man; wei help
YOU put the hay on again. You won't
Lose much fit. What, your name?
Where do you live? VIII your father
bcst you? Ii'sa shame. You're too
little to drive on these roads, anyway.
We'll 60 home with you and see that
he doesn't" and much more of the
same, to all of which the boy only
replied with gurgljng sobs.
'.Aftcr some more encouragement
from the prctticst girl in Our group,
the little mans chokings seemed to
grow less awful, and he appeared to be
about to speak. We waited, but the
sob5 wcllcd uD again, and utterance
was impossible. Finally the cxtrava-
CANT man Of the party offered to pay
for all the lost hay if the boy would
only stop bowling. This seemed to
sting the young farmer in a tender
spot, and with difficulty he blurted
ont, his voice rising As he proceeded
and ended in 4 shrill scream:
81 don't care sour apples for the
hay, but Pops under the loadl.
I'VE got Pop out before he was
quite smothcred, but he was pretty
black in the face, and too exhausted,
We felt sure, to whop his boy that
night, anyway

TRUE COURTESY.

True courtesy which has been called
"the beauty of the heart" sometimes,
suggests, even to the uneducated,
graceful ways of putting their words
that excite wonder and admiration.
care you not very cold, my poor boy?"
said a sympathetic young lady to a
shivering shoe black. 81 was till you
smiled, miss" was the clever and fiat
tcrlng reply.
In conversation, true courtesy is
often forgotten in the general anxiety
of people to speak than to listen, they
seem to be attractive, but the absent
look in the eyes betrays the reverse
Good listeners, especially if youthful,
are thought worlds of by garrulous old
people. We should not reply to a
recital of the troubles of others by a
long list of grievances of our own; nor
when anything in which the owner
takes pride, spoil the effort by I'M
graCiously referring to something
superior in the same line which one
has seen or may possibly possess. A
constant endeavor to be easily pleased
is essential to politeness, and when
annoyance arises, then is the value of
tact seen at its best in preventing
general discomfort. Especially is thi.
valuable acquisition or attribate useful
when we have to find tault-always
difficult thing to do well-whcn the
effect is lost, or worse still, may be
really injurious because of the way in
which it is done.
