Born to Command.

In front of Gen. Winfield Scott's
house in Elizabeth, New Jersey, were
several shade trees in which certain
song birds had made their nests. One
day when the general was at work in
his garden trimming a ounce tree
with a large hooked pruning knife he
suddenly started with huge strides to-
ward the street in front. There on
the corner was a boy with a shotgun,
gazing up into a tree.
The youngster did not observe the
generals approach until the veteran,
had arrived within twenty PAGES of
him.
young man." Scott then called out
in a voice that might have been heard
by a whole division of soldiers, "are
you going TO shoot my birds?"
The boy for a moment lost the power
of motion; but he quickly recovered
and took to his heels, running as if
chased by a mac bull.-Youth's Com
panion.

Trifling becomes IA mania. Look
over the list of the people you know
and note how frequently many of them
lose all self-respect and become aliens
TO principle. You can't reason with a
crazy man. Neither can you reason
with a fellow who has developed the
trifiing habit. He knows no sympa-
thy and has no pity. He wants to do
only the thing that appeals to him.
Let others fret and fume about his
viciousness. He cares only when the
strong hand of justice makes him fear
ful for the safety of his mean skin.
The fact is the fellow is crazy in his
line. He feels that all the world is
subject to his exploiting. So he goes
on doing the mean and underhand
things that make the playing of he

life is a state which follows upon
death. Death is a state which pre-
cedes life. Which of us understands
the laws that govern their succession?
The life of mar is the resultant of
forces. The aggregation of these forces
is life; their dispersion, death. If.
then, life and death are but consecu-
tive states of existence, what cause
for sorrow have 1?
And so it is that all things are but
phases of unity, according to II. A.
Giles in translated Seems From Chi
nese Literature" What men delight
in is the spiritual essence of life.
What they loatlbe is the material cor
ruption of death. But this state of
corruption gives place to that state of
spirituality and that state of spiritual
ity gives place in turn to this state
of corruption. Therefore we may say
that all in the universe is comprised in
unity, and therefore the inspired
among Us have adopted unity as their
criterion.

away for a ome and did not return
at once.
The engineer thought he would take
a last look at his stakes, to see that
no m~ischievous small boys had extract
ed any of them. He went down to the
back pasture in the twilight. His line
of stakes stretched clean and true
across the green, and he was about to
leave when he heard something that
caused him to check himself. 1t was
the sound of some one sobbing as
though her heart would break. He
looked about and saw Mary, a huddled
white heap on the grass, crying her
heart out. In surprise he went up to
her.
"What the matter?" he asked.
ooh, please go away and let me
alonew sobbed Mary. But he was lot
to be put off. He sat beside her until
her sobs had given way to signs, and
then once more inquired gently,
whats the matter?'
Il just was coming down tonight
to say goodby to the old pasture +
1 loved it so-and you're going to make
a track run across it-and I'm going
away tomorrow, and-and l just
couldn't bear 1t! l loved the old pas
ture so, and the little brook, and all"
Young John Andrews heart vent
out to her in her distress; but even
more han sympathy was the feeling
that flooded him at sight of her tears.
He took her hand In his.
"Mary-dear," he said, you're no
sorrier than / am that you are going
away tomorrow. l can't let you go
without telling You that | love you and
that l want you to love me-even if
I did spoil the back pasture. Won't
you make me happy, Mary dearest?"
She looked at him, at first in maze
ment, then with swiftly deepening tide
of crimson flooding her features. He
saw In her eyes the response that she
could not put into words, and the next
moment the disaster to the back pas
ture was forgotten and she was In
his arms.
"And, sweetheart" said John An
drews, "Ill be waiting for you when
you come .out of school, and-let me
tell you a secret-I'm to be the chief
engineer of this whole divisionl Won't
it be wonderful, dear?"
To which Mary could only reply that
she loved him, indeed she did, and she
didn't care a pin about the back pas
ture. Which was all very right and
natural under the circumstances, and
they went home hand in hand to break
the news to the family. The cows had
long ago been driven into their shed;
but the trees and the brook seemed
satisfied, somehow, that their sacri-
fees had brought happiness to the lit
tie girl they had known and loved for
so long.

"Just a minute" he begged. won't

very pleasant journeyT
She laughed, and from her waist de-
tached a tiny gold pin and handed it
to him. She had broken the clasp on

herself rather painfully. She had in
tended throwing it away, because 1t
was now useless, but had absent-mind-

Leone went to her berth and smiled
as she drifted off to sleep. She was
young and frivolous, in addition to
being exceedingly attractive.
During the year and a half that en-
sued. Leone became less frivolous and
less Young. although not less attrac-

age or sedateness, but her character
developed a great deal in those eighteen
months.
Sometimes Leone's thoughts roved
back to the journey across the At
lantic and the handsome captain who
had airted with her; and she began to
wish she had not firted, that she had
allowed herself and him to be more
sincere.

as the roadster sped over the highway

Leone, Jane and their mother we're
returning from France, where they
had helped, in the way women did, to
win the war.
On board the same steamer was a
captain of infantry, who had been
wounded severely in the leg and for
that reason was one of the first to get
invalided home when the battle-line
guns became silent. The captain
walked with a limp, which would al
ways be with him, but it didn't detract
from his good looks or charming per-
sonality.
The captain and Leone carried on
an outrageous Irritation. Perhaps it
was a reaction from the serious bust
ness that had just been finished; per-
haps they would have flirted anyhow.
Be that as it may, flirt they did. He
was only twenty-five and she twenty
one.
Every morning on the voyage they
met on deck and spent the greater
part of the day together. He made
love, more or less violently, and she
permitted it. OF course, he was only
fooling, she thought and so was she,
was what she told herself.
The last night at sea the moon was
full, and their talk waxed more SEN
timental than usual. 1t became time
for both to retire, and he pleaded that
she tell him her real name. Yes, it
had been an outrageous firtation-the
kind where you don't tell your real
name.

for the U. 3. sailor, as he helped them
and feeds them, for they are on an
island by themselves, as big as Wild

and stand by to pass it out to theEN.

ROYAL REVENGE ON MILTON
Great Poets Book Publicly Burned by
the Hangman When Charles II
Came Back.

When the restoration of Charles II
became imminent. Milton, who is pos
sibly best known to the world as the
author of Paradise Lost" found him
self in a position of peril, as many
of his writings contained sentiments
which Charles and his court could not
be expected to tolerate.
In 1.-THE Iconoclast," and Defense
pro Poputo Anglfcano," much was to
be found that was inimical to the
Restoration, and when he added '"Tha
Ready and Easy Way to Establish a
Free Commonwealth" Milton was
obliged to go into hiding. But the
people were tired of the common
wealth, and so welcomed Charles home
again. Though Milton escaped, his
books did not, and the house of COM
mons passed a resolution that his
majesty be humbly moved to call in
Millions books and order them to be
burned by the common hangman and
that the attorney general do proceed
against them by indictment or other
wise.
On August 81, 1860, as many copies
of the three offending books as could
DE found were publicly burned. Three
days after an act was passed which
relieved the poet from further neces-
sity of concealment. In fact, the
search had only been perfunctory and
the chase had been purposely allowed
to slacken.-Chicago Journal.
