CHILD EvINcED Real AERoIsM.
PathetlcaIIy Brave In Hour That
Brings Terror TO Us All.

A pathetic story OF a child's heroism
is told by a Dublin gentleman. Re
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin Gene
terry. Calling his son, a bright little
boy, some four years old, he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:
Don't you want to 60, Willle?D
The little lip quivered, but the child
answered, "Yes, papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur
ing the drive, and when the carriage
drove up to the entrance he clung to
his mothers side and looked up in
her face with pathetic wistfulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues, looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting-places of
the dwellers in the beautiful city of
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent, they returned to the carriage,
and the father lifted his little son to
mis- seat. The child looked surprised,
drew breath Of relief and asked
why, am going back with your"
"Of course you are; why not?'
Il thought when they took little
boys to the cemetery they left them
there" said the child.
Many man does not show the her
oism in the face of death that this
child evinced in what, to him, had
evidently been summons to leave
the world.

The Vision Of CITY Children.

A well-known English surgeon
called attention, some time ago, to the
inability of city children to see well
at great distance, caused, he said,
by their restricted line of vision. The
other side Of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity of using
their sight. 1t is different with coun-
try children, who have an expanse OF
landscape to look at, and can practice
their. sight on great variety of OBJ
jects at distance. He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible Jchance to do the same, and
thus train the sight and strengthen the
eyes at the same time. There is so
much good sense in this suggestion
and it should have the serious atten-
tion of fathers and mothers.

FOND OF APPEALING TO LAW.
Anecdote Shows LItiglous Nature Of
South African Natives.

The Diamond Fields Advertiser, re-

natives OF South Africa, gives the fol

towns in Griqualand East, the articles
in dispute being a slate and an alpha

pence. He, Immediately after the
judgment was given against him, start
ed on a journey on foot to the chief
town, about 80 miles distant in order
to instruct an attorney there to appeal
from the judgment given. The attor-

him he should desist, as he would only
be wasting his money over a trivial
matter, but he rendered the costs of
the appeal to the attorney and insist,
ed, otherwise he would consult an
other lawyer. After long consulta-
tion and endeavor to advise his client
to act as was thought best, the attor-
ney complied with the natives wishes.
