LINCOLN'S SERMON. /

Mr.. Lincoln often preached what
he called "a sermon to his boys" 1t
was: Don't drink, don't gamble,
don't smoke, don't lie, don't cheat.
Love you fellow men, love God, love
truth, love virtue and be happy"
He taught temperance by example
and by precept, and on several occa-
cions suggested to young men mot to
put their enemy in their mouths to
steal away their brains" While WIS.,
iting General Grants army on the Po-
tomac an officer asked Mr.. Lincoln to
drink a glass of champagne, saying:
"Mr. President, that is a certain cure
for seasickness Mr.. Lincoln replied
that he ''had seen many fellows sea-
sick ashore from drinking that vile
stuff"
While a member Of Congress Abra-
ham Lincoln was once criticised by
friend for Ibis seeming rudeness in
declining to test the rare wines pro-
vided by their host" The friend said
to him: There is certainly no dan
ger of man OF your years and habits

swered Lincoln, "but l promised my

SEA SERPENT RACED SHIP.

Entered in the permanent log OF
the British steamship Mereddio, Cap
tain Clark, is a record of sea mon
ster sighted while the ship was on a
passage between Penarth and Santos.
Chief Officer Neil S. Murray was in
charge of the bridge at the time and
a Greek quartermaster was at the
wheel. The quartermaster, who first
sighted the monster, ,was-almost pet
rifed with fear and was at the point
of permitting the big freighter to
take her own course.
''It was like this" explained the
chief officer when the Mereddio
docked at East Boston yesterday.
THE ship was 500 miles from Santos.
I saw the Greek acting strangely and
followed the direction he was looking:
my hair nearly stood on end at
the sight. Swimming parallel to the
ship was a monster lizard. It was as
big as a whale. The ocean fairly
seethed as it propelled itself with
enormous dragons claws. A head as
big as a pilot house and one coil OF
the beasts neck we're above water
'For a distance of nearly 300 feet
the sea heaved and was lashed into
foam. | think the lizard was fully
the Mereddio's length, and l feared
for the safety of the steamship as the
creature, mailed in huge, bony scales
Of dark green color, swerved as II
to come alongside. 1t had a saWl1ke
ridge on it's back and its girth was
fully as great as that of whale.
after the serpent had raced the
ship several minutes it bumped Its
back and sounded. The swash from
It's commotion shook the ship and
sent spray over the starboard rail.

to fancies That creature so I'M

dent in the scrap log, and later made

termaster admits he did not recover

ADMIRAL AND BEY.

A show of force is often the best
kind of diplomacy. A writer in
Paris newspaper tells story of the
French Admiral Dupetit-Thouars,
who had been entrusted with the mis-
sion of eXacting reparation from an
African hey who had insulted
French Consul. AS Dupetit-Thouars
demands were supported by the force
full argument of loaded cannon the
hey acknowledged that lie had been
too hasty and proffered profuse apollo
gies. He even invited the Admiral
to his table and had a sumptuous re-
past prepared for his guest. The
Consul warned the Admiral to be on
his guard
''The bey is inclined to be malic-
ious," said he, "and when he strokes
his beard and smiles you may be sure
that he is concocting some mischief"
eve shall see," was Dupetit-Thou-
ars' reply.
He reached the bey's palace in good
time. Profuse compliments and salu-
tations were exchanged. All at once
the Admirals foot met some soft,
hairy substance lying on the carpet
under the table. He bent down and
saw a huge lion showing his formid-
able teeth. The bey smiled and
stroked his beard.
Dupetit-Thouars did not Vince, but
called his dragoman.
My pistols" was all he said.
The servant saluted, retired and
brought back a pair of pistols on a
silver tray. The Admiral took them
and placed them on the table before
him, but the bey, still smiling, con-
tinued to stroke his patriarchal beard.
Tell the commander" he said to
the dTagoman, that if those pistols
are for the purpose of blowing out
my lions brains they are quite in
sufficient and perfectly useless"
Then, like a skilled fencer coun-
tering his opponents thrust after the
bey's ironical advice had been trans
lated, Dupetit-Thouars replied:
Tell his Highness that my pistols
are not there to kill his lion but to
blow his own brains out at the first
movement OF this Objectionable car
pet"
Gravely but little pale the man
interpreted. The smile died away
on the bey's lips and he no longer
stroked his beard
'My lion," said he, is too we'll
trained even to scratch one of my
guests, but since he is not wanted
he shall be sent away"
At a word from the hey the lion
slowly and heavily left the room, like
an obedient dog.

THE TARDY ASTER.

Little Bessy Berry was almost al
ways late for school. She was almost
always late for everything.
1t wasn't because she had to run
errands, or mind the baby, but be-
cause she was an 'In-a-minute" and
itPretty-soon" and an "After-a-
while" little girl, who liked to dilly-
daily better than anything else in the
world
There were some other children in
Bessie's room who were often tardy,
too, so the teacher began to wonder
what she could do. And soon she
thought of something. She went to
the scotsman and bought some seeds.
They were aster seeds, in paper pack
cts.
Listen, children!" said the teach
er. "How many Of you ever had a
flower garden?"
Bessie had; most of the children
in Bessie's class had.
Then the teacher said nice thing.
"These seeds are for you-one little
packet for each one in this ROOM
Here Bessie raised her hand.
"Please, may pass them?"
But the teacher shook her head.
"One for each in the room,'' she went
on, "who isn't tardy single time this
month"
That WASH all. They would plant
the seeds and after while have flow
ers. And then the scotsman would
give prize to the boy or the girl who
had the finest flowers. 1t was really
two prizes.
So the children looked at the seeds
1ongingly and promised that they
wouldn't be tardy one single time.
And some weren't. But Bessie was
-four times!
The next month was April, and the
tardy ones tried again. Bessie was
tsrdy twice. They were to try once
more in May.
'"Try, try, again." said Bessie S
papa. So she tried again. And man.
ma helped. Every morning and af-
ternoon she said "Seeds!' when she
kissed her little girl goodbye. Bes-
sic said Seeds" over and over, all the
way to school, and didn't dilly-dally
once.
And on the last day of May she
took a packet of seeds home. Bessie
and her mother planted them right
off. They didn't dilly-dally about it
at all. Bessie hoped she might win
the seedsman's prize.
But it was late and dry, and the
seeds didn't come up very quickly
Only one Seeding grew. Papa called
it a dilly-dally flower. 1t just would
not catch up with Clara Bells across
the street. But Clara Bell had won
her seeds in March.
When the day for the flower show
was nearly come, some of Bessie S
friends had big blue and white asters
in their gardens, and Bessie had one
fine aster plant, with hard green
knobs at the top.
Every morning she counted the
days that were left, until at last Dit
white showed in one of the knobs
But then there was only one day left.
So everybody, even Bessie, knew
that it would be :: tardy aster, just as
Bessie had been a tardy little girl.
When at last the day for awarding
the prize came, 1t was a very, very
sad Bessie Berry who stood in the
back garden looking down at the
tardy aster, while all of her little
friends, with hands full of punctual
asters, went to the flower show.
Wasn't it too bad? But it must
have been a good lesson for Bessie
for she dosen't dilly-dally any more

THE ANIMAL SCHOOL.

Did you ever hear of the animal
school?
No? Then 1 will tell you about
it.
Miss Willow was the teacher, and
the reason she was chosen was-why
do you suppose? Because she had so
many switches about. If any one
didn't behave, she would reach out
one of her long arms and get switch
and m-m-M-M!
The scholars were: the donkey
with his long ears, the owl, always
half asleep, and the stamping horse;
the woolly sheep, the billy-goat, the
black cat, and the curly dog; the
goose, long of neck, the turkey COB
bier, the duck, and the little red
hen. Then there was a row of birds
on the top rail of fence. And
oh, yes-there was the frog. 1 al
most forgot the frog. He sat in
puddle.
When it was time to begin, Miss
Willow snapped all her switches. 1t
was quiet in an instant. Now, said
she, who is absent?"
The owl cried out, "Whoo-oo,
whoo-oo. whoo-oo!"
Miss Willow turned angrily to the
horse. "Was that you who minicked
me?" she asked.
The horse, trembling very much,
answered quickly, Neigh, neigh!"
"Attention," said Miss Willow.
"What does B-A spell?"
The woolly sheep answered, "Baa!"
But just then the billy-goat stepped
on the little red hens toe. A bird
on the fence behind saw it and cried
out, "Whip-poor-Will." And Miss
Willow wept at the billy-goat's bad
ness.

CHuDREN'S DEPARTMENT..

1--WE will now have our lesson in
manners" said Miss Willow. what
does a man do when he meets a
Lady,"
The curly dog cried, Bowl" and
was patted for giving the right an
swer.
"And how should we eat at the
table?"
The turkey answered, "Gobble,
gobble, gobble!" Miss Willow
reached for switch. And the prim
goose said in a shocked voice, "Hs-s,
hiss"
do we eat with our knives?"
asked Miss Willow.
Neigh" said the horse, and the
little red hen put in Cut, cut cut!
"Who is that new scholar on the
fence?" Miss Willow then asked.
A brown bird answered, Bob
White!"
"And who came in late?"
The black cat cried, "Me-ow!"
But the donkey wouldn't answer
any of the questions, and had to be
put on the Ounce stool, with a ounce
cap over his long ears. And the
duck always read through her nose,
like this, "Quack, quack!" And one
little greenish bird had to have a
handkerchief tied over his bill, be-
cause he would interrupt by shout
ing. ."Teacher-teacher-teacher!"
"And what shall we do next?" Miss
| Willow asked at last.
All this time the frog had sat in
his puddle and said nothing. Now
he put his head out, and muttered
in a deep voice, "Better-go-home,
! better-go-home!"
| So the wind whistled a march, and
away home they went.-F'rances
