Horace Mann.s Advice TO Bov..

Horace Mann gives bit of advice to
boys: "You are made to be kind, boys.
IL there is boy in school who has n
club foot don't let him know you ever
saw it, If there is lame boy, assign
him to some part of the game that
doesn't require running. If there is
hungry one, give him part of your din
ner. If there Is dull one, help him to
get his lessons. If there is bright one,
be not envious of him; for, IL one boy
is proud of his talents and another is
envious of them, there are two great
wrongs and no more talent than before
II larger or stronger boy has injured
you, and is sorry for it, forgive him.
All the school will show by their counte-
nnnces how much better 1t is than to
have great fuss. And remember who
said: Love your enemies and Bless
them which curse you"

Dawlish. My aunt walked with him
about mile through the gardens, where
they parted until the morrow; and from
that moment Gilbert Tresillian was not
seen or heard of again. He disappeared
as completely from mortal ken rs
though the earth had opened and swal-
lowed him. The country was secured,
the shore beneath the cliff was searched
but not the slightest trace could be
found. My poor aunt came near to die

He Was Released.

Yesterday afternoon there was a pathetic
scene in the Police Court, when young
woman appeared in behalf of her husband,
who had been sent to the work house by
Judge kimball, in default of fine. Her
rent was due and she was in danger Of
being evicted unless she had some pros
poets of raising the necessary amount of
money. Then, too, her husbands employer
had become tired of waiting for him to re-
turn to work and he was in danger of los
ing his situation. What she was to do
with her little children and herself she did
not know.
And the worst of all was that her hus-
band. Charles Hadger. had been sent to
prison without authority of law. He had
been arrested on charge of obstructing
the sidewalk in the neighborhood of the
James Creek canal He had been drinking
and did not want to go home to his wife
until he was perfectly sober. In order to
get sober he stopped on the street and got
arrested.
Soon afterward the court decided that
there was no law for this conduct but
Hadger was still detained. Chief Clerk
Sylvester. who learned of the sad condition
of affairs. interested himself in the case,
and at his request Judge Kimball had
given an order for his release earlier in the
day.
