ONE OF THE HEROES.

Here is, a song of a hero:
He is one of the many whose names
Are not and never will be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fame's;
He has never rushed, cheering, to battle.
He has never plunged into the wave
To rescue a child or a woman.
Yet he ought to be named with the
brave;
Each night he goes home to a scolding.
To hear the old story again
OF the talent he lacks and his failure
To claim the attention of men.
Each morning he goes to his duties
SUN striving to win and still proud,
Still waiting for Fate to permit him
Some day to work up from the crowd;
Each day he goes patiently toiiing
And signing alone. if he sighs-
His sorrOws are his and his only:
Hope still is agleam in his eyes:
IN spite of the wearisOme scOlding
And grumbling he goes to at night,
As though all his dreams had been
bright.
With never a mortal to praise him
For what he has done or. has tried,
He still has an honest ambition
And still in his breast he has pride.
With never the hope of receiving
Approval at home he can still,
With his sorrows all carefully hidden,
Toll on with a conqueror's will:
So here is a song of a hero.
But one OF the many whose names
Are not and will never be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fame's.

JOHN WEsLEY's INFLUENCE.
His Immense Personal Power W..
Used With Singular Wisdom
and Liberality.

Even upon the manners of the Eng
lish people no man of his century had
SO much influence. 1t was peculiarly
fortunate that the leader of a great
popular movement united with intense
religious earnestness the tastes of the
scholar and the instincts of the gem
tleman, writes C. T. Winchester in
"Wesley's Days of Triumph" in the
Century. He never felt 1t necessary to
vulgarize his teaching or to make any
concessions to coarseness. In his spot
less linen, his cossack, his black hose
and silver shoe buckles, he was q
model of scrupulous precision in per-
sonal attire; and his oft-quoted a y
ing, Cleanliness is next to Godliness,''
we'll expresses the almost fastidious
habit Of the mar His dignifed, yet
gentle courtesy, his refined self-posses-
sion, made his very presence an ex-
ample and an inspiration.
And it should be said that Wesley
used his immense personal influence
with singular wisdom and l~iberality.
He had in his hands control of the
whole system of Methodist discipline:
but he did not attempt to bind the
members of his societies by narrow or
rigid rules, still less to impose upon
them arbitrarily his W judgments.
He was anxious only that Methodists
should be good Christians. On doubt
full matters he did not prescribe or pro-
Mbit, but left the decision in such cases
where 1t belongs-with the individual
conscience. In an admirable sermon
on amusements, after admitting that
much may be said for the drama-he
was q lover of dramatic literature him
self. and used to advise his preachers
to read plays that they might cultivate
q natural mode of speech-he decides
that, for himself, he could not go ia
the theater or play at cards with a
clear conscience; but he adds: "pos-
sibly others can; /. am not Obliged ia
pass any sentence on them that are
otherwise minded; 1 leave them to
their own Master; to Him let them
stand or fall" His successors have not
: always been so wise.

BASEBALL FOR coNv1cTs.
Conduct of Prisoners in
Massnchusetts.

In the Massachusetts, state prison at
Charleston Warden Bridges has intro
duced ball playing as a means Of dis
cipline among the conyicts and is much
gratifed with the results. says a recent
report.
Not only has the game given the
prisoners relaxation from cell life and
the workshop, but 1t has afforded a d.
version for their minds, a breath Of
fresh air and a look at the blue heav-
ems above. And not the least result Of
all is the improvement in the disci-
pline. No unruly prisoner can partic-
ipate in the game and many a man nat
urally fractions has been good" just
for the chance to go out In the prison
yard and play a game of baseball.
Next to a pardon or an expiration Of
sentence, permission to play ball or see
a ball game Is the greatest boon that
can be conferred upon any prisoner.
To be deprived Of the privilege of being
a player or spectator is the greatest pun
ishment a prisoner can receive. He had
much rather go into SOLITARY than
lose a game of ball.
The inmates have two mines. called
this year the R~esolutes and the Hust-
lers, and they play every fair weather
Saturday from May to October. Every
player is a prisoner, and the umpires are
likewise inmates. The league rules are
followed strictly and the umpire Is
obeyed. In fact, the absence Of kick
ing" among the Charleston prisoners
shows them in an enviable light in COM
parison with some Of the players sees5
on the league grounds. The two teams
play for championship honors, and
every game is written up for the
prison paper, the Mentor.
Ground rules naturally prevail. owing
to the smallness of the prison yard, but
there is room enough for 200 spectators.

others who stand are called sthe

An Ant, going to a river to drink. fell in, and was carried along
in the stream.
A Dove, observing the accident, and plying her condition, threw
into the river a small bough, which she hastily plucked from a friendly
tree growing by the brink of the stream, and by means of which the
Ant gained the shore.
The Ant, upon another occasion, seeing a hunter with his fowling
piece aiming at the Dove, who had rendered her such timely service,
stung the man in the foot sharply, and made hm miss his aim, and so

Il used to make-believe l was a To-

"Oh!"
She seemed disappointed. l put my
pipe back between my teeth and pulled
my cap further v e my eyes, yet not
80 far as to shut her out of vision.
She was very lovely. She wore white
things. Her sleeves were rolled up to
her elbows-I could see the dimples oc-
casionally-and her hat, a broad, flap
ping thing of white cloth with a scarf
floating away from it, was getting
very. very wet from the water that
had splashed in the bottom of the boat.
Helen drew in her line dreamily,
scowled ferociously at finding the bait
intact and dropped it back again into
the smooth green water. Then she
folded her wet, brown hands on the
gunwale and stared thoughtfully
across the harbor. She was very love-
ly. The sun made glints of copper in
her brown hair. Behind her, half a
mile away, was the beach, golden in the
morning sunlight; above it the green
clad bluff, topped by the hideous,

that systematic work has been carried on since
last august. An effort is made to fly the kites
by night as well as by day, and the staff is
divided into three sections, one relieving an
other every eight hours. The value of the data
obtained is believed to depend largely on the
continuity of the observations. Hence it is de-
sirabIe to have recording barometers, Their
mometers and registers of humidity and wind
force tell their stories as often as possible For
this special service all four types of instrument
are combined in one, and this is placed in the
outermost kite. Usually two or more kites are
sent up tandem, the greater the number the
higher the elevation reached. What the me
teorologists want to study is the situation in
the upper parts of highs" and lows" as these
drift over the country, and compare il with
that at the surface of the earth at the same
moment. Light on the structure and cause of
storms. cold waves and other phenomena may
be thus obtained, and accuracy of forecasting
enhanced.
The great majority of the ascents have been
to heights of fifteen hundred or two thousand
metres. or in the vicinity of mile; but occa-
sionaly the kites go up three thousand or four
thousand metres The amount of wire which
must be let out depends partly on the elevation
of the kites and partly the angle which the
string forms with a horizontal line. On an
average the length of wire is 30 per cent greater
than the height attained. The duration of each
ascent is mainly dictated by the strength of
the wind. AS soon as the predetermined amount
of wire is run out the windlass is set to hauling
it in. fresh instrument is substituted for the
other one Ghe removal of whose records takes
time), and the kites are started up once more.
In case of breakage, time is required for re-
pairs; but there is always at least one extra
instrument on hand. The apparatus is so ad-
justed In a basket that it Will not suffer harm
