A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING.

John Albion Andrew, the great war
governor of Massachusetts, had the good
fortune to spend his boyhood on farm
III Maine. His father and mother,
though of genial humor, were rigid dis
ciplinarians, and he had occasion in af-
ter life to thank them for training him
to orderly habits in everyday mat
tiers.
One of his sisters related not long
before her death, which occurred in
1897, that Albion was summoned home
from school one day by his mother, who
merely pointed to the boys cap, which
he had carelessly left on the floor. The
hint was enough. Without a word ne
picked up the cap, hung it on the proper
peg, and promptly went back to school.
The father also strictly enforced the
rule, "A place for everything and every
thing i'll its place" A pitchfork, in COM
mon use for foddering the cattle, was
always to be kept standing in a certain
corner Of the barn, where he could lay
his hand on it in the night, without a
lantern. On one occasion he felt for it
in vain and called the boys to account.
With a mixture of chagrin and amuse-
ment, they reported that Father was
mighty particular, for the fork wasn't
more'n two inches out of place.

PROFITABLE POLITENESS.

Here is a story all the way from Seat
tie, on Puget sound. 1t Is interesting,
not to say exciting, and has the further
merit of conveying an excellent lesson.
The hero of it is Jimmy Brennan, 10
years old, and SON of a police officer:
With several companions Jimmy was
standing on Yesler way, when stran-
ger came along. He looked like a man
who had just returned from a logging
camp.
Boys he said, where is the Butler

a"Mister," said Jimmy, Il will point
ont the Butler to you for nothing.
You're my man, said the rough
looking stranger, and the two went down

WHY HE LOST HIS POSITION.

A gentleman from the country placed
ms son with a dry goods mexchant in
street. For time all went on
wen, says the New York Ledger. AT
length, lady came to the store to pur-
chase silk dress, and the young man
N3@ted upon her THE price demanded
was agreed to, and he proceeded to fold
the goods. He discovered, before he mad
nhlShed, flaw in the silk, and pointing
II out to the lady, said: Madam, l
ueen 1t my duty to tell you there is a
fracture in the silk
Ot course she did not take it.
he merchant overheard the remark,
ana Immediately wrote to the father Of
the young man to come and take him
nome; for said he, ''he win never
make merchant"
me father, who had ever reposed con-
hdence in his son, was much grieved. and
hastened to the city to be informed of
ms deficiencies. ''Why will he not
make merchant asked he
Because he has no tact" was the
answer. Only day or two ago he told
lady, voluntarily, who was buying silk
OF him, that the goods were damaged,
and lost the bargain. Purchasers must
look out for themselves If they cannot
discover flaws, it would be foolishness
IN me to tell them of their existence.
And is that all the fault?" asked the
parent.
Yes, answered the merchant, she
does very well in other respects"
Then l love my son better than ever;
and | thank you for telling me Of the
matter; | would not have him another
day in your store for the world"

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

An incident of n peculiarly touching
character occurred yesterday in one of
the elevated railroad trains, that brought
tears to the eyes of the passengers. The
train had just LEFT One Hundred aud
Iwenty-fifth Street when the passengers
saw entering the car Il little boy about
six years old, half carried by AN older
boy, evidently his brother. Both were
well dressed. hut at first glance ii was
seen that the little fellow was illnd. lie
Trad a pale, WAN face, bgt was smiling.
A quick look of sympathy passed Over
the faces of the passengers, and an old,
gray-haired gentleman got up and gave
his seat to the two THE 'fbig brother,
who was about eleven years old. tender
ly lifted up the little blind boy and placed
him ON his knee.
''how's that"
nice" said the little chap. Where's
my 'neonica?'
This puzzled some of the passengers,
and several turned to see what the child
meant But the ibig brother knew,
and Immediately drew olpt a small mouth
harmollica and Placed it IN the little fell
lows hands The little fellow took the
instrument into his thin hands, ran it
across his liTS, and began to play softly.

into the eyes Of the old gentleman who
had given up his scat, ard as the little
fellow played on, running into the Rock
of Ages and Abide with Me- there
were many most eyes in the car.
The train rushed along. the passen
gers listened, and the little fellow played
ON tirelessly, never missing Il note of
Annie Laurie" or Home. Sweet
Home" Finally the big brother" leaned
down and told the little ONE to get ready
to leave, as the train was nearing their
station. Then. as if he knew he had won
a Whole carload of friends. the blind boy
quickly changed THE Suwanee River
into "Aul Lang Syne.' and with one
accord the passengers burst into a round
of applause. while the 'ihig brother" car
ried the little one out of the car.-New

THE FISHERMAN'S CHILD.

Sleep, darling, sleep;
The waves are mounting high
All cloudy is the sky;
Your daddy's on the deep,
And that is why | weep,
But baby must not cry,
Hushabye, hushabye !
Rest, dearest, rest,
The storm will soon pass by,
And God is ever nigh;
He knoweth what is best,
The waves he can arrest,
While here | sit and sigh,
Lullabye, lullabye
Sleep, darling, sleep;
In peaceful slumber lie,
Till all the dark clouds fly,
And stars begin to peep,
Thy mother watch will keep
All night Sweet, close thine eye
Lullabye, lullapye -.

had no candy and no cakes What do

II guess he was pretty big boy" said
Joe, who wasn't always wishing he was
not such a little boy; and | guess he was
riding big, high bicycle"
NO" said papa. He wasn't big, and
of course he wasn't riding bicycle. You
have lost your guesses, so I'll have to
tell you. There was flock Of sheep
crossing the city to-day; and they must
have come long way, so dusty and tired
and thirsty were they. The drover took
them up, bleating and lolling out their
tongues, to the great pump in Hamilton
Court to water them. But one poor old
eve was too tired to get to the trough,
and fell down on the hot, dusty stones.

IN DESSERT LAND.

Once, when | was in Dessert Land,
A many miles away,
/ went to take sailing "trip
Upon the Ice Cream Bay.
The boat it was an apple pie,
With ginger-snaps for sails,
But oh, there came cuTrant storm,
And cream-puffs grew to gales!
The sea ran high in jelly rolls,
The breakers dashed whipped cream
Upon the stern, rock-candy coast,
| thought I'd have to scream!
The candy masts fell with whack
The pie-crust cracked in two:
The custard waves came rushing in
| wondered what I'd do.
/ found life-preserver then
A doughnut fat and round
And stuck my head right through the
hole;
| knew I'd not be drowned
And then | swan, and swami and swan
Upon the Custard Sea,
Until a Floating Island came,
Convenient as could he.
And there upon that Dessert Isle
| stayed six years or more,
Until Id eaten all the place
And thought I'd go ashore.
So first | ate the Custard Sea,
And next the Ice Cream Bay;
Then on the sugar sand / crossed

Are YOU almost Disguised
With life, little man?
| will tell you a wonderful trick
That will bring You contentment
If anything can
Do something for somebody, quick;

Are you awfully tired
With play, little girl?
Weary, discouraged and sick?

Game in the world
Do something for somebody, quick;

And the clouds are forbidding and thick,
You can make the sun shine
In your soul, little man
Do something for somebody, quick;
Do something for somebody, quick.
Though the skies are like brass
Overhead, little girl,
And the walk like a well heated brick;
And are earthly affairs
In terrible whirl?

BOSSY.

Bossy is kind old cow;
She dreams beneath the apple-bough,
And swings her tail and rings her
bell
While roaming up and down the dell
| see her through the pasture bars
Eat all the pretty daisy stars,
Then gently toss her head on high
To watch the clouds that dot the sky.
When night makes all the meadow
black
She lets the chickens on her back
Fall fast asleep, and sleep until
The sun comes peeping DER the hill.
