How one Little Boy Improved.

Jimmy was the stingiest boy you
ever knew. He couldn't bear to give
away q cent, nor q bite OF an apple,
nor a crumb OF candy. He couldn't
bear to lend his sled or his hoop or
his skates. All his friends were very
sorry he vas SO stingy, and talked to
him about it; but he couldn't see any
reason why he should give away what
he wanted himself.
"If l didn't want it," he would say.
p'r'aps l would give it away; put why
should 1 give it away when l want it
MYSELF" .
because it is nice to be generous"
said his mother, land think about
the happiness OF other people. 1t
makes you feel happier and better
yourself. If you give your sled to lit
tie ragged Johnny, who meyer had n
IN his life, you will feel O thousand
times better watching his enjoyment
OF it than if you had kept it yourself"
"Well," said Jimmy, "lll try it,"
The sled went off. ''How soon shall
l feel BETTER" he asked, by and by.
81 don't feel as we'll as did when |
had the sled. Are you sure l shall
feel better?"
Certainly" answered his mother,
"but if you should keep or giving
something away you would feel better
all the sooner"
Then he gave away his kite, and
thought he did not feel quite so we'll
as before. He gave away his silver
piece he meant to spend for taffy.
Then he said:
II don't like this giving things; it
doesn't agree with me. l don't feel
any better. like being stingy BETTER"
Just then ragged Johnny came up
the street dragging the sled, looking
proud as a prince, and asking all the
boys to take q slide with HIM, and
nd:
"You might give Johnny my old

he doesn't seem to have one. think

A Story OF a Little Boy Who Siam
.mered.
"Whatever you do, do with your might;
Things. done by halves are never done
right"
II can't get it, mamma, and there's
no use trying" and Frank threw
down his pencil, laid his head on his
hands, and sobbed out loud.
Now Frank was a brave little boy,
who hardly ever cried, so his mamma
said, "Why, son, what is the NATTER"
~ can't get this sum, and I'm tired
of trying
How many times have you tried,
Frank" asked mamma.
"Oh, ten times I guess"
"Ten times, Frank" asked mamma,
and looked at him earnestly.
i. "Well, four or five times, then; and
Pm not going to try any more"
Mamma thought for a minute, then
she said, "Put your slate and pencil
away, Frank, and 1 will tell you a
story"
Frank was always delighted to hear
mammals STORIES, SO: he sat down be-
side her, and she began:
ga long, long time ago, Frank, be.
fore you or I were born, there was a
little boy who lived in a beautiful
country by tie sea, called Greece. He
a not a very strong boy, and of
course his voice was weak, and, be-
sides, he stammered. He heard some
of the great men of his country speak,
and he made up his mind that when
he grew to be a man he would be q
great speaker too. Now in order to
be a great speaker you must have a
strong voice, and speak distinctly;
and, you know, his voice was not
J strong, and he stammered. AS told
you, he lived by the sea, and every
day he would 60 down to the sea-
shore and put a pebble. under his
tongue, and recite aloud. In this way,
it is said, he cured himself of STAIN
mering; but his vo &c was not strong
enough-it could not be heard very
far-so he used to 60 on stormy days,
and shout as loud as he could, to try
) and hear his voice above the sound OF
the waves. OF course every
day. his voice became stronger;
and at last he could hear
it above the roar of tine I've lie
kept on, until in time he became one
of the greatest speakers-orators, we
call them-the world has ever known.
He never could have been that, Frank,
had he given up trying"
What was his name, mammal"
asked Frank.
? at is a long hard name for a little
boy to pronounce, Frank. 1t is
Demosthenes."
Frank sat very still for % few min
utes, then he SAID, Mamma, 1 will

Hetook his slate. and worked and

has all been consumed in White Oaks
and from the face Of entry was fair coal,
continuing to grow better as depth was
gained and is OF same quality as that
mentioned last week.
There are also on this property the

critics in this field but which have not
been opened sufficiently to determine
anything more than that good coal is
there. Work on this mine stopped about
a year ago because two of the owners
being non resident they did not particu-

after securing patent and the other a
