Mozart.

All the world honors him now, but
it treated him cruelty while living
Writing to his wife of his poverty he
said, "Only try 70 make it more gen
orally known that will take pupils
AS wrote those pages many tears fell
on them, but now, up, up; there may
be many opportunities still" He only
asked rs cents an hour and could only
teach three or four day. In 1857 he
was so sorrowful that he wrote to his
convlaescing father: GAS death closely
analyzed is the goal fife, have made
myself so we'll acquainted in the last
two years with this true, best friend OF
man, it not only fails 10 frighten, but
comforts and quiets, me-" But as be
approached death, "he cried out a.
gainst the cutting off of his young ca
reer." He then had an order that
would give him a. chance to get on.
But he writes: "My head is as if un-
jointed, my force is crippled, I see ev.
er the form of that person (who had
given him the order), / see him ever
intreating me, urging me, but I feel
only too much that my hour has struck,

would be so beautiful to live on" He
left but S25 in money. All his prop

amounted to $1.500. His widow and
children were poor. His funeral was

HerSaratitude.

A well-known man who lives not
far from Newcastle; Me-, told me o1
an experience he mad "a few winters
since with horse of which he was
very fond, says writer in the Lewis
ton Journal. He was driving across
Jefferson Pond one afternoon, when
the mare went through the ice. In an
instant the sleigh also went under.
rhe gentleman managed to get out of
the water himself after valiant strug-
gle, when, finding himself upon a firm
footing, he turned his attention to the
horse. After long time the assistan-
ce of two men was secured, and, even
then, nearly an hour elapsed before
the poor horse was rescued, thorough
ly chilled and exhausted.
Not far off her owner had a friend
who lived in the old-fashioned house
in whech I listened to the story, a
house with cellar kitchen.
He led the mare straight into this
kitchen, where she laid down, gladly
enough, before big, blazing open
fire.
Warm blankets were thrown over
the poor creature, and hot drinks were
given her. Then. her owner, pretty
we'll chilled and tired out himself, pas
sed into bedroom on the same floor
and soon fell asleep. About midnight
he was awakened; he felt a warm
breath upon his face, and 10! the mare
had come into the room to find her
master and thank him, for she fell to
licking his face gently!
Her owner was manly enough to
own up that he cried over her. FL
nally he rose, led her back to the kitch-
en-, threw big log upon the Goals, and
down lay the intelligent mare, while
her master silently registering a vow
that the grateful creature should nev-
er pass out of his hands, returned to
his own 'bed.-Boston Daily Traveller,
Oct. 25, 'S9.
Some years ago, while walking near
Boston, we found COW tied by "a rope
to tree. She had contrived to wind
herself up with the rope and was ly-
ing helpless. When, after much diff
Guilty, we succeeded in disentangling
her and got her upon her feet again,
she turned her neck to where we were

we have often seen mother cows lick
their young. Itthis was not gratitude,
what was it? Editor.

A Jack knife In Congress.

The New Yook Star tells how Rep
resentative Enloe, who had for long
time been trying 10 get bill through
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, to pay back to Mr.. P. E. Par
ker, Of Memphis, SIS, 1856 which he had
paid as bondsman for a defaulter,
whose bondsman had subsequently,
been released by act of Congress from
liability in the case, finally succeeded
in his Undertaking.
Many times Mr.. Enloe had attemp-
ted to have the bill considered, but lie
had never been able to catch the Speak
er's eye. Meanwhile the bill had been
passed to by the Senate. Mr.. Enloe,
however succeeded in securing recog-
nition from the Speaker pro-tempore,
Mr.. M'Millan, and asked Immediate
consideration of the bill. Objection
came from MIR. Hopkins, of:Virginia,
who demanded the regular order.
Mr.. Enloe at this remarked that he
was much interested in the passage of
the bill, and had almost worn the soles
off his boots in walking from his desk
to point in the floor from which he
might catch the Speakers eye.
II had good and sufficient reason"
said he, impressively, ''for my partic-
ular desire to have this bill passed.
When I was a boy the man whom this
bill will benefit gave me my first pock-
ct knife"
This brought down the House. Ev-
cry man then instantly thought Of the
pleasure derived from his first pocket
knife, and, amid the cries of "The
bill ought to pass" and the general
laughter, Mr.. Hopkins withdrew his
objection and the bill was passed. But
for Mr.. Enloe's remembrance of that
knife it is doubtful if Mr.. Parker would
have ever got his money.
Curses and chickens are not the only
things that come home to roost. A
kind act done to boy is not always
forgotten, and may come back again
in blessings and benefits long after 1t
has been forgotten by the doer.
