A Valuable Stocking.

Edward Hutchinson Robbins was
speaker of the Massachusetts house of
representatives in 1793. His grandson,
who describes him as man of untiring
kindness, ''whose desire was to bless
and serve Others" says:
stephen Brewer, who knew him
well, told me once that when he was a
clerk III a store in Boston the old gen
tleman walked in with q gray stocking
in his hand, the foot of which was full
of Spanish dollars.
"'Stephen, my little man. said he,
take care of this for me; it's q new
stocking, and my daughter Classy knit
it for me-
$50 Stephen put it away and grand
father forgot it from that hour. But
three months later he came into the
store in much afLliction.
stephen, my little man. said he.
pve lost stocking like this showing
the mate, and Pm SO sorry! My daugh-
ter Classy knit them he said, tenderly,

HEROIC. BUT cowARpLY. :
Some Things That VIII Take the ConceIt
Out of Il Brave hIan.


Out OF Il Brave Man.
A man can take his life in his hand
and go boldly into the traclzless prairie
to meet herd of savage buffalo, or he
can traverse the horrors of an African
jungle without shudder in his body,
but he cannot enter O fancy wool shop
to match n special hue without break
ing into a violent perspiration and
finally rushing away without fulfilling
his task.
A man can suffer the amputation of
a limb in q heroic manner, but he can
not endure a mustard plaster on his
chest without shrieking aloud for
mercy.
A man can bear the deprivation of
his wealth with the calmness OF stole,
but he cannot lose his collar stud on
the bedroom floor without u violent
outHurat Of temper.
a man can smile Grim!y under tkc
tortures OF the rack, but he cannot
tread on tack with his bare feet with
out bitter howl.
A man can walk forty miles day
and arrive fresh and bright at the end
of his journey, but he cannot nurse q
baby half an hour without complaining
that he is utterly worn out.
A man can calculate to the uttermost
farthing the cost OF the Suez canal, but
he cannot estimate the price of a wotn-
ans bonnet without egregious errors.
A man can possess the physical
strength of a Samson, but he cannot
help to take down the pictures for the
annual spring cleaning without feeling
completely exhausted with his labors.
A man can suffer death at the stake
with the dignity of martyr, but he
cannot chase after his hat in public
road without looking ridiculous.
A man will go through fire and water
to win the girl of his heart, but he will
not allow her to see him with four
days growth on his Chicago
Dispatch.

Modestv as we'll as ambition should
come into the field when q young man
or woman is choosing profession.
A pretentious youth who would have
done better to stay in the hay field,
where he seemed to be in his proper
sphere, told his father that he was
about to leave, in order to preach the
gospel to every creature"
That's all very WELL" said the old
gentleman, "but Scriptur' don't soy
every creatur' shall preach the gospel. :"
a good old lady once said to her
nephew, poor preacher whom nobody
warted to hear: "James, why did you
enter the ministry?"
because / was called" he answered.
