Peculiarities of Eminent Men.

Mr. John Murray, the English publisher. in
pleasant, gossiping article concerning some
famous people whom he has known. describes
Layard. the archpolOgist. as a man of great
kindness and tenderness, although his brusque
manner hid these good traits but too success
fully from the public.
Mr., Froude and Charles Kingsley. after their
deaths. were also eulogiZed as men of deep and
sensitive feeling. But during the visits of both
these strong earnest men to America. they man
aged to offend some of their warmest admirers
by an unfortunate roughness of speech and
manner.
Mr. Murray tells some amusing anecdotes con-
cerning the handwriting in which Dean Stanley
contrved to conceal his best thoughts when Of
fering them for publication to the world. One
important letter written by the dean to his pub
Usher was so illegible that Mr.. Murray was
forced to return it with request that the myste-
riOus passages should be rewritten. In due time
the dean replied:
L think meant to say'-so-and-sO, not one
word of which could be deciphered.
When Dean Stanley visited Philadelphia the
reporters went in body to the church in which
| he preached to take down his sermon for the
morning papers, but so rapid and thick was hi:
enunciatiOn that they could not do it. He was
the guest of Mr.. George w. Chlds, and WheI
| that kindly gentleman heard of their disappont
ment, he asked Dean Stanley if nothing coult
be done for the boyS?"
The deans eyes twinkled. "Give them th'
sermon" he said.
The manuscript was handed to the reporter
who looked at it in dismay. Not word eoul'
they decipher.
The difficulty was, however solved by the sec
retary of the dean, who read it for them aloud
1t may seem foolish for men who have grea
thoughts to give the public. to disguise them il
mumbled words or illegible writing, but it
surely greater waste to hide kindness and SYN
pathy under a rude. repulsve manner.
1t may not always be necessary to sugar pill
but it is always foolish to make nourishing foo
nauseOus. s.-Youth's Companion.

Boer was crying, Meeting at length. gave him
the usual salutations and asked him if he were

me that bodily he was all right but his heart

he had killed his best frend-"men hund.' He
said that suddenly the dog took to jumping up

At length, struck with the fear that the dog

he turned his rifle upon him and fired. The dog
ran back along the road. and its owner proceeded
on his way Later it suddenly dawned upon the
Boer that he had left his coat at his last off
saddling place. A coat is too expensive an
article for a Transvaal farmer to think about
leaving behind. so the BOer turned in his tracks
and sought to recover his garment. Arriving
at his last resting place he found not only his
coat, but his dog. The poor animal, being un
able to make his master comprehend his loss

The trail to that bright mystic region

But the one that leads down to perdltl0n
Is Staked and blaZed all the way.
And that's dead right. It's no trouble to
find the trail to hell; it's cnch and you can't
lose it, for the devil is the smoothest old boy in

Good Advice.

Boys, instead of standing on the street corners
of evenings wondering how you can pass the
time, go home and read twenty pages of some
good book. A long line of heroes and martyrs
stretch from the present day back to the first
glimmerings of history. Learn something about
them. You are indebted to many of them for
the liberties you enjoy. Charles Martel and a
Gustavus Adolphus gave us freedom of worship;
the heroes of 1776 gave you independent Amer
ica What do you know of these men? Do you
feel that you have the right to enjoy liberties
the price even of which you do not know?-
