"Sissy Porter"

A long line of boys sat on the bridge
fishing, among them Will, better
known as SISSY" Porter. He was
called "Sissy," not that there was
ANYTHING effeminate about him, but
because be never could be made to lose
his temper enough to show it. Next
to him sat Joe Baldwin, whose fiery
outbursts of temper were always caus.
ing trouble.
The fish were biting well, and
when the bait grew scarce there was
trouble between Joe and Sam Greene
over some that lay between them. Be.
fore any one could interfere there was
q splash, and Sam was in the water.
He was a good swimmer, but, to the
surprise and horror of the boys. he
failed to come to the surface.
"Some of you get a beat; he's
caught" said Sissy, taking off his coat
and boots. Then, standing where Sam
had sat, he gave leap, and he too dis
appeared from view.
Joe shivered and shook, while every
second seemed an eternity. Would
either of them ever be seen again ?
There was a shout. Sissy had come
to the surface, and-yes; there was
Sam but how limp and lifeless he
looked! Was he dead? He seemed
to be when they laid him on the
beach; but be was brought to con-
sciousness in time, and by night was
all right, while Joe was ill-seriously
80, the doctor feared.
"Sissy, having gained permission to
help nurse him, sat down by him and
said II think I know what the
trouble is, Joe; and mean to help
you cure yourself"
20 Sissy !" said Joe; ~ did not
mean to; but if 1t had not been for
you, should be murderer. had
better die now, for 1 might be some
day if live"
L felt so once" was Sissy's reply.
"You" Joe sat up in bed, and
said "Tell me about it,"
"That's why I came. I have often
thought I should like to-" and Sissy
told how he too by nature had vio-
lent temper, and had once come near
injuring his own sister. He had never
dared to be angry since. He had gone
through what Joe was feeling, and had
reasoned the matter out till he came
to the point where he realized that in
giving way to his temper he was low
ering himself to the level of a brute,
while he was made in the image of his
Maker. Don't you see," he said,
"that every time we give way to tenn
per or evil passions we deface that
image? It is struggle at first to con-
quer self but when you do you begin
to have q horror of defacing the
image"
20, you give me hope you give me
hope!" cried Joe, who soon after fell
asleep.
Before long Sissy was known as
civilian the Conquerer," while more
than one boy was led to thin K seriously
of his idea Of "defacing the image"

Mark McWharter was seven years
old, and had been in school only few
weeks when one evening after he had
gone into the bedroom to retire his
mother heard him crying. She went
to see what was the matter, and found
him kneeling by his little bed sobbing
is if his heart would break. Placing
her hand on his head, she said
"Why, son, what is the matter ?"
After he had cried awhile he told
her about how he and Louie Reid, one
of his playmates, had disputed and
fallen out. And then he said
"Mother, I love Louie, and I don't
want him to be mad at me. "
Then the child related the circum-
stance, and his mother gave him
advice. Next morning, before school
opened, the misunderstanding was
settled and the boys were as good
friends as before.
That which I have told really hap
pened, and T have related 1t because
there are larger boys and girls, and
even some grown people, who lose
friends carelessly and thoughtlessly.
Life is miserable If one has no
friends, and friends that are worth
having are not usually made such by
a single act. Solomon says, IA friend
loveth at all times" and there never
comes time when we do not need the
love, the counsel, and the sympathy OF
friends.
If we are happy, it adds to our joy
to have friends happy with US. If we
are miserable, friend will gladly bear
a part of our grief. If our friends are
good we become like them. If we are
better than they, they may become
like us.
"True friends visit US in prosperity
when invited, but in adversely they
come without invitation"
We cannot afford to be unthOughtful
and negligent of those attentions and
courtesies which enable US to retain
valuable friendships.

he left it to enter Essex's ship, and.
though wounded severely by splinter,

The Landrai1.

The most remarkable thing about the
landrail is its extraordinary instinct or
passion for migration. Whence comes to
1t that oyerpowering desire which twice
In tho year impels it, weak winged though
it Is, to change it's quarters, to range dur
ing our English springtime as far north
ss the bleak and frozen shores Of arctic
Greenland, to descend in the fall Of the
year away south into Africa and eastward
into Asia, reaching In It's return migra-
ton countries 30 distant and 90 widaly
sundered as Natal and Afghanistans At
present, in spite Of theories and surmisss,
we have no satisfactory reason offered to
US for the wonderful migration-recur-
ring steadily, persistently and unfailing-
ly, year after year-of bird like the land
rail, whose weak wings and strongly de-
veloped legs plainly attest the fact that
It's natural powers Of progression Lie far

The Happiest Little Boy.

"Guess who was the happiest child
1 saw to-day" asked papa, taking his
own two little boys on his knees.
"Oh, who, papa ?"
"But you must guess"
"Well," said Jim, slowly, II guess
it was a very wich little boy, wifi lots
and lots of tandy and takes"
"No" said papa. ."He wasn't rich ;
he had no candy and no cakes. What
do you guess, Joe" =.
II guess he was pretty big boy"
said Joe, "who wasn't always wishing
he was not such little boy; and I
guess be was ridding big, high bicy-
cle."
mo-" said papa. "He wasn't big,
and of course he wasn't Kidding a bicy-
Gle. You have lost your guesses. so
I'll have to tell you. There was a
flock of sheep crossing the city to-day ;
and they must have come long way,
30 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.
Then saw my little man, ragged and
dirty and tousled, spring out from the
crowd of urchins who were watching
the drove, fill his old leaky hat, which
must have belonged to his grandfath-
er, and carry it one, two, three-oh, as
many as six times Ito the poor, suf-
fering animal, until the creature was
able to get up and 60 on with the
rest"
''Did the sheep say, T'ant you,
papa?" asked Jim.
III didn't hear it, answered papa,
"But the little boys face was shining
like the sun, and Pm sure he knows
what blessed thing it is to help what
needs helping"

OLD BOOKS.
Their Contents Rather Than Their
Dates Make Them Valuable.

Dates Make Them Valuable.
"It is extraordinary" said book col.
lector the other day, 1.-THE value some peo.
ple attach to old books simply because they
are old. Not long ago friend Of mine
showed me two old trunks filled with
books which he had found in house orig
inally the property Of his wife's grandfa-
ther and which she had recently inherited
from her mother. There were In all per-
haps about 300 Volumes most Of which
bore the dates 1850, 1770, 1895 and so On,
and my friend confidently believed that
they were worth at least their weight In
gold. On the contrary, they were books
Of very little value and interest, and not
worth much more than their weight ss
waste paper He politely suggested that I
was liar when I told him that, but hs
changed his mind after he had tried in
vain to sell the books to secondhand deal
ers.
"Outside Of these overestimated books
my friends wife had a barreful Of pam
phlets which she was going to use to kin
die the fire with. Though worthless in
my friends opinion, these had really oon-
siderable value, being old Massachusetts,,
Philadelphia and New York almanacs,
Revolutionary pamphlets and broadsides
and printed documents relating to Kings
and Queens counties, and 9 dealer paid
my friend 800 for the lot. One Of the de-
spised almanacs was Charles Smiths
'Gentleman's Pocket Almanac for the
year 1895, which contained portrait Of
Washington - one Of the rarest of the
Washington portraits-and yet my friend
was going to kindle the fire with 1t.
"It Is really next to impossible to get
such people to believe that book is not
Of necessity worth money because 1t was
printed long time ago. Nine out OF ten
books published before this century are
growing more worthless every year. The
tenth one has value, higher or lower, in
proportion to its character. Occasionally

man to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon
