Lesson for a Boy.

had overheard a conversation
between Karl and his mother. She
had work for him to do, which in
terferred with some of his plans
for enjoyment, and, though Karl
obeyed her. it was not without a
good deal of grumbling. He had
much to say about never being al
lowed to do as he pleased; that it
would be time enough for him to
settle down to work when he was
older. While the sense of injury
was strong upon him, l came out on
the piazza, and said: "Karl, why
do you try to break thai colt of
yoursH"
The boy looked up in surprise.
"WhyI want him to be good for
something"
"But he likes his own way" l
objected. "Why shouldn't he have
it?"
By this time Karl was staring at
me in perplexity. "I'd like to
know the good of a horse that al
ways has his own way!" he said,
as~if rather indignant at my lack of
common sense.
"And as for working." l went
on, II should think there was time
enough for that when he gets to be
an old horse"
"Why, don't you see if he doesn' t
learn when he's a colt" Karl began.
When he stopped, blushed, and
looked at me rather appealingly.
l heard no more complaints from
him that day.-Church Record.

Will We Never Forget?

Some of our ablest scholars be-
lieve that memory will live forever.
In view of this the words from
Russell II. Conwell are of peculiar
value. He says: The human
mind really forgets nothing. The
evidence of this is shown by that
great psychologist IN Germany,
who states that ignorant people
who know nothing of foreign
language, yet after hearing it once
will, in times of sickness, repeat in
detail the conversation which they
have heard. The old illustration
may be recalled of that servant girl
who heard that minister in Eng
land recite a verse from the He
brew while she was sweeping the
room; years after that she was
taken i'll, and in the midst of de-
lirium, she recited that verse of
Hebrew. This shows, as thousands
of other illustrations do, that the
mind retains everything, every
item, every idle word, every idle
thought.
1T was we'll established that a
man in his sleep recited what he
could not in anywise recall while
he was awake.
"A man heard a tune when he
was asleep and never heard it any
other time. More than four years
afterwards he sat down at his in
strument and composed a tune,
which they discovered was plag-
iarism entire. He thought it was
an original composition. 1t is a
most surprising illustration that the
human mind never forgets any
thing.---"Exchange.

That clog the forward view,
Each thins TO nothing when It nears,
And we MAY sauiiter through
The darkest momen; never comes,
1t only looms before;
The loss if home is what heuu:ubs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry, dear, Tie clouds are black.
But with them comes the rain,
And stined souls that parct and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best We eau,
And tlier1ll be none to bear;
Hard work has never killed a man,
But worry did its share.
Don't worry, dear; don't blanch, don't
yield,
But dare the years TO come;
Nor give the enemy the field
Because we beat his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, though they gall;
We know that life is love, dear,
And life and love are ali.

Alfonso.

Alfonso, the boy-king of Spain,
who is to be crowned on the 18th of
May, is only 16 years old He has

months before Alfonso was born.
Upon his mother, the queen regent
Christens, devolved the hard task of
rearing her son, who was, by the
constitution of Spain, (unlike that of
other monarchies)king from infancy,
absolute sovereign over 100000
people. To bring him up wisely was
her great desire.
There having been II reigning
Alfonso's, the Spanlards said no
good fortune followed the number of
1S, and bitterly opposed naming the
new king Alfonso, but in this, as in
other matters, the queen mother was
firm and named her boy for his
father, as well as had him christened
IN the samerobe which his father wore
upon similar occasion. The young
prince was baptized in water taken

Having been trained by q mother,
who has taught him to have sympa-

duties of King and takes the reigns
of government into his own hands,
and despite the unlucky 13, he begins
his reign with the fair prospect of
fulfilling the hopes of his mother
and uplifting the fallen fortunes OF
his people, by wise and benefcent
reign.
