Once, when / was q schoolboy, going
home from the far away little town ia
which / dWelt, Iarrived at Bristol, and
got on board the steamer with just
enough money to pay my fare; and
that being settled, I thought in my in
nocence that I had paid for everything
IN the way Of meals. I had what l
wanted as long as we were in smooth
water. Then came the rough Atlantic
and the need Of nothing more. had
been lying in my berth for hour.
~wretchedly ill and past caring for any
thing, when there came the steward
and stood beside me.
Your bill, sir" said he, holding out
a piece of paper.
Il have no money" said I, in my
wretchedness.
Then I shall keep your luggage.
What is your name and addreasQ"
l told him.
Instantly be took off the cap he wore,
with the gilt band about it, and held
out his hand. Il should like to shake
hands with you," he said.
l gave him my hand and shook his
az we'll as I could.
Then came the experimentation
that s0me years before some little
kindness hand been shown his mother
Dy my father in the sorrow of her
widOwhood.
Il never thought the chance would
come for me TO repay it," said he,
pleasantly, but I am glad it has,"
80 am l." said I.
AS soon as 1 got ashore I told my
father what had happened. "Ah, said
he, ''see how a bit of kindness lives
Now he has passed it on to you. Re
member, if you meet anybody that
needs a friendly hand, you must pass
it on to them"
Years had gone by. I had grown up
ana quite forgotten it all, until one
day l mad gone to the station Of one
Of our main lines. I was just going to
take my ticket, when l saw a little lad
crying-a thorough gentleman he was,
try ing to keep back the troublesome
tears as he pleaded with the booking
clerk,
Whats the matter, my lad3" I
asked.
"It you please, sir, I haven't money
enough to pay my fare. I have all
but a few pence, and I tell the clerk if
be will trust me l will be sure to pay
him"
Instantly it flashed upon me the for
gotten story of long ago Hare, then,
was my chance to pass it on. l gave
him the sum needed, and then got into
the carriage with him. Then l told
the little fellow the story of long ago
and Of the stewards kindness to me.
Now, to-day" I said, II pass it on to
you; and, remember, if you meet with
anyone who needs a kindly hand you
must pass it on to them
Il will sir, 1 will" cried the lad, as
be took my hand, and his eyes fl shed
with earnesCness.
81 am sure you will" I answered
I reached my destination and left
my little friend. The last sign I had
from him was the handkerchief dutter-
ing from the window of the carriage,
as il to say: lit ia all right, sir; I
will pass it on."-Home and School

About forty years ago a rich and
handsome young woman, moved by a
spirit of brRvado, answered a ''per-
sonal" advertisement in a city eWs
paper, and entered into a correspond
ence with a clever adventurer. She
was soon duped into marrying him
and mortgaged her property. Secur-
ing the money, the man deserted his
wife and obtained q divorce. The
woman, broken hearted and enfeebled
in mind, lived for years on the charity
of friends, and was recently taken to
a Connecticut poorhouse to end her
days Happily, innocent indiecretion

see the modest monument of The hired

kerosene and a grass coved knoll that
covers the boy who put a corn cob
