Look not Upon , the wine, my boye

,That peace is born of Its sparkling foam ;
Per, though the draught may stir the sotd,
And while you drink delight the taste,
TwUl Mar the Upi 'that touch the bowl
And bum your inner life to waste!
When wine-Mends weave their wiles, myboy,
To lead mg Where ihe intemperate go, • '

And though this one staunch wordmay bring
A storm of scoffing, taunting sneers,

You wretched wreck forlorn, my boy, • -
Slow reeling from the Tempter's lair,

Of wine taw blighted manhood there.. • '

Once men were honored could they sit
And gather : wisdoin from his lips;
NoWthe poor outcast pawns his wit
To buy the drain the drunkard sips!
Then Friendship flew to grasp his hand,
And Honor pressed his palm with pride,
But Wine, the Hacker, broke tho hand
That bound all true men to his side.
And now, of friends forsaken, poor,
Shunned by the fair and poor of earth : —
Joy fled foreter from his door,
No happy voices round his hearth ;.
Pursued by his tormentor, TWA, '
No peace by day, nor rest by night—
The poor inebriate lives accurst!
For Pity's eye the saddest sight. "
Oh, would you be a man, my boy,
Respected, honored, loved by all,
Tench not the red wine!. lwillilostroy

THE STORY OF THE GOOD LITTLE
BOY WHO DID, NOT PROSPER.
'BY Mak !WAIN.
Once there was a good; little boy
by t the name of Jacob Blivens. He
always obeyed his parents, no matter
how absurd and unreasonable their
demands were ; and he alwayi learn
ed his book, and never was late at
Sabbath-schooL He would not play
hookey, even when his soberjudg
ment told him it was the most prat
able thing he could do. None of the
other boys could ever make that boy
out he acted so strangely-He wouldn't
lie, no, matter how convenient it was:
He just said it was wrong to lie, and
that was stifficient for him. And he
was so honest that he was simply ri
diculous. The curious ways that Ja
cob had surpassed everything. Hp
wouldn't play marbles on Sunday, he
wouldn't rob birds' nests, he wouldn't
give hot pennies to organ-g rinders''
monkeys ; he didn't seem to take any
interest in-any kind of rational amuse
ment. So the other boys used to try
to reason it out and come to ,an un
derstanding of him, but they couldn't
arrive at any satisfactory conclusion;
as I said before, they could only fig
ure out a sort of vague idea that he
was " afflicted," and so they took him
under their protection, and never al
lowed any harm to come to him.' .
This good little boy read all the
Sunday-school booksthey wore his
greatest delight. This was the whole
secret of it. He believed in thegood
little boys they put in the Sunday
school books . ; lie had every confi
dence in them. <Ho longed to come
across one of them alive, once ; but
he never did. They all died before
his time, may be. Whenever he read
about a: particularly good one, he
turned over quickly to the end to see
what became of him, because he want
ed to travel thousands of miles and
gaze on him ; but it wasn't any use ;
that good little boy always died in
the last chapter, and , there we, a pic
ture of the funeral, with 'all his. rela-
Lions and the Sunday-school children
standing around the grave in pante,
loons that were too short, and bon-
nets that were too large, and every
, body crying into handkerchiefs that
had as much as a yard and a-half of
stuff in them. He was always head- -
ed off in this way. He never could
see,one of those good little boys, on
account of his always dying in the
last chapter. 7
Jacob had a noble ambition to be
put in n. Sunday-school book. He
wanted to be put in; with pictures
representing him standing on the
door-step giving a penny to a poor
beggarwomon with sil children, and
telling her to spend itreely, but not
to be extravagant, because extrava
gance is a sin ; and pictures of him
magnanimously refusing to tell on
the bad boy who always lay in wait
for him around the corner; as he came
from school, and welted him over the
head with a lath, and then' chased
him home, saying, "Hi ! hi !" as he
proceeded. That was the ambition
o f young Jacob 13livens. He wished
to be put in a Sunday-school book.
It made him feel a little uncomforta
ble sometimes when he reflected that
the good little boys always died. He
loved to live, yon know, and this was
the most unpleasant feature about
being a.Sunday-school book boy. He
knew it was not healthy to be good.
' He knew it was more fatal than con
sumption to be so supernaturally
good as the boys in the books , were ;
ho knew that none of them had over
been able to stand it long, rule it pain
, ed him to think that if they. put him
inn book'he Wouldn't' ever see it, or
even if they did get the book out be
fore he died, it wouldn't be , popular
without any picture of -his funeral in
the back part of it. It couldn't be
much of j* Sunday-school book that
couldn't -tell about the advice he gave
to the community when he was dy
ing.: So, it last, of course, he had to
make up his mind to do the best he
could under the cirermistinto
live right, and hang on as long as_he
could, and have his dying speech' all
'ready when his time came.
But somehow, nothing aver went
right with this good little boy ; noth
ing ever turned out with him the way

it. turned out with the • , ,

'was a screw loose soine*henc, and it
all happened jest the •*ntlier vay

bf the tree too, but he fell on him and
broke his arm, and Jim wasn't hurt
at all _Jacob couldn't understand
that.' There wasn't anything in the,
books' like it.. •
And once, when' sonic bad boys
pushed to blind man over-in the mud,
and Jacob ran to help him' up and
receive his blessing ? the blind man
did not glie hileany Wising • at. all,
but.whacked him over ‘ the read with
his stick and said he • would like to
catch him shoving hiin again und then
pretending to help him up; This was
not in accordance with- any of the
books. 'Jacob looked them all over
to. me. • •
Ono thing that 4=13 wanted.to do
was, to find a lame dog that hadn't
any place to stay, and was hungry
and persecuted, and bring him home,
and pet him and haie that dog's im
perishable.gratitude. at last he
found one, and was happy_;.and he
brought him home and fed him, but
when he was goinl to pet him, the
dog flew at him tore all the clothes
off him except thOse that were in
front; and made a. spectacle of 'him
that was astonishing. He examined
authorities ; but he could not under
stand the matter. It was of the same
breed of dogs that was in the books,
but it acted very differently. What
ever this boy did, he got into trouble.
The very things the boys in the books
got rewarded for turned out to be
about the moat unprofitable things
he could invest in.
Once when he Was on his way to
Sunday-school he Saw some bad boys
starting off pleasuring in a sail-boat.
He was filled with conetenuttiou, be
cause he knew from his reading - that
boys who went sailing on Sunday in
variably got drowned. So horan out
on a raft to warn them; but a log
turned with him and slid him into
the river. A man got him out pret
ty soon, and the doctor pumped the
water out of him and gave him a
fresh start with his bellows, but he
caught cold and lay sick abed nine
weeks. But, the most unaccountable
thing about it was that the bad boys
in the boat had , a good time all day,
and then reached home alive and
well, in the most surprising manner.
Jacob Blivens said.there was nothing
like these things in the books. He•
was perfectly dumbfounded.
When he got-well he was., a little
discouraged, but he resolved to keep
on trying,. anyhow. He knew that
so far hisexperiences wouldn't do to
go in-a book, hut he hadn't yet reac.h
ed the allotted term of life for good
little boys, and he hoped to be. able
to make a record yet, if he could hold
on until his time was fully up. If
everything else failed, he hild his dy
ing speech to fall back on. -
He examined his authorities, and
found that it was now time tol. go to
sea as a cabin boy. He called on a
ship captain and made his applica
tion, and when the captain asked for
his recommendation ho proudly drew
out a tract and pointed to the words:
"To Jacob Blivens, from his affec
tionate- teacher." But the captain
was a Coarse, vulgar map ; and he
said, " Oh, that be Wowed ; that
wasn't any proof thiit he 'knew how
to wash dishes or handle a slush buck
et, and he guessed he didn't want_
him." This was altogether the most
extraordinary thing that had ever
happened to Jacob in all his life. A
compliment from a teacher, on a tract,
had never failed to move the tender
est emotions of ship captains and
open the way to all offices of honor
and profit in their gift—it never had
in any book that ever Itti had read.
He could-hardly believe his ,senses.
This boy always had a hard time
of it. Nothing ever came Out accord
ing to the authorities with him. At
last, one day, when he was around
hunting up bad little boys to admon
ish, he found ii lot of them in the old
iron foundry fixing up a little joke on
fourteen or fifteen dogs, which they
had tied together in long procession,
and were going to ornament with
empty nitro-glycerine cans made fast
to their tails. Jacob's heart 3vas
touched. He sat down on one of
those cans—for he never minded
grease when duty was befoie him—
and he took hold of the foremost dog
by the collar, and turned his reprov
ing eye upon wicked Tom Jones. But
just at.that moment Alderman Mc-
Welter, full of wrath, stepped in.: All
the bad boysran away ; but Jacob
Blivens rose in Conscious innocence,
and began one of those stately little
Sunday-school book speeches, which
always commence with. "Oh, sir I" in
dead opposition to the fact that, no
boy, good or bad, ever starts a re
mark with. "Oh,..air I" But the Al
derman never waited to hear thereat.
Ho took Jacob Blivens by the ear,•
and turned him around, and hit him
a whack in the rear .with the flat of
his hand ; and in an instant that
good little boy shot out through the
roof and soared awdy towards the
sun,. with the fragments of those fif
teen dogs. stringing after him like the
tail of a kite. And there wasn't a
.sign of that Alderman or , that old
iron foundry left on the face of the
earth ; and as for young Jacob Bliv
ens, he never got a chance to make
his last dying speech after his
trouble fixing it up, unless he made
it to the birds ; because,\ although
the bulk of him came down all right
in a tree-top in an adjoinhig county,
the rest of him was apportioned
around among four townships, and
so they had to hold five' inquests on
him to and out whether he was dead
or not, and how it occurred. You
never saw a boy scattered so.
Thus.periahed the good littl boy
who did: the best he could, but didn't
come out-according . to the books.
Every boy ', ever did as he did
prospered except him; His , case is
truly remarkablit. will probably
never Unaccounted ton-- ; The Galaxy.

in regard to this common arti•
'slid, hut such is the case. - Some few
professors in geology disagree in re
gard. to' its origin. .Some think it
originates 'from a; tarry or pitchy sub
donee issuing from °vegetation.; but
the most reasonable theory advanced
is that of Sir. Charles Lyell, that, coal
is the pkodnction of primeval forests.
'He claims to have a positive proof of
°this, ,from the fact that ho once visit.;
ed a cold pit inEurope where a large
tree was itabedded, a °part- of which
was-Metamorphosed into votd,•While
•th - 0 other part of the tree was' still
. wood; no transformation having taken
place. 'This solution of the matter is
generallyndmittal by the geological
fraternity: , Coal beds then were once
vast forests of timber and vegetation.
- The : transformation. of . vegetable
matter into coal is going on now in
different parts of the' earth. In the
peat bogs of Maine' ti , substance has
been found resembling cannel coal;
and the' same substance has been
found in:the peat-bogs of Ireland. ~
A great proportion of the plants of
the coal measures :were' ferns, next to
these the. Sigillariri, which were un-.
doabtedly the mostnunicrotes plants,
and-largely contributed:to the. forma
tion of teal. The Sigillaria when
grown in a large tree, is' from two to
'three and a-half feet in diameter, and
from forty to seventy-five' feet, high.
These trees have been found both in,

The clouds thickened dark:and d p;
the earth was .enveloped in gloom ;
the lightning darted along the black
sky and the, thunder'n - ipeals fairly
.shook the earth. The tornado burst
forth in all its fury, and with the aid
of the lightning-performed its mighty
work ,of devastation and destruction.
Still on, on, on , the hurricane swept
with unabated fury, till the once beau
tifal forest was laid' waste with its
wrath, and havoc reigned supreme.
No pen can describe, no pencil paint
the, scene. After this silence reigned
,again for a time. Then'thel t internal
:fire of the earth, which had been se
eretly working for ages, began to man
ifest itself. Nearer and nearer it came
rolling on, rocking the earth -like a
cradle,-till at last, with a crash that
shook the earth ; from center to cir
cumference, the ground opened, and
the fire burst forth, throwing up.mol
ten matter. Volcano after -volcano
emitted forth its burning lava. Earth
quake after earthquake heaved up
chains of mountains; making valleys,
gorges, ravines and hollows--and en
wilting forests in the mighty wake.
These floods. and tornadoes did not
all come at, once, but long intervals
intervened, between which the drift
swept to and fro, carrying vegetation
with it and delxisiting it in, various
places along the earth. The alluvium
washed over it, indlogether with the
earthquakes, which also came at in
tervals, and the sinking process, bu

" FORGIVE HIM !"
.I.rr SYLVANCB COD; an
"forgive him !" said Mrs. Stearns.
" 0, Lowell, forgive him
The speaker was an aged woman
and a widow. Her head was white
with the frost of years, and her mild
features were deeply marked by the
hand of time. There was - a tear in
her eye, and her face was clouded
with sorrow. She spoke to her - son,
a middle aged, strong
. featured per
son, whose countenance betrayed a
firm-willed, unbending heart, but yet
mho appeared to be an upright, hon
orablel man.
" Forgive him !" repeated the white
haired widow, as she raised her tren
bling bands toward her son. "He
is your brother—your only brother.
0, if you know your own" heart, .you
will forgive him"
"Never!" spoke Lowell stearns,•in
a firm, deep tone. " John has wrong
ed me—deeply wronged med—and I
'should lie to my own-soul, were I to
forgive him now,"
4 i An& have not you - wronged ham?
asked the widow, impressively. _
" I wronged hint? How ?".
"By withholding from him your
love; iby treating - him harshly, and
causing, him to sin," answered his
mother, very kindly.: •
" Cease, mother. When you - sa •
that I have; caused him to sin, you
are mistaken. He has -.chosen his
own path, and now ho must travel in
it."
" Lowell, you. are the oldest, and
from you should come the love .that
can alone heal the wound between
yourself and John.'
"Listen to me, mother," said the
stubborn younr , man, with a spice of
bitterness in his tone;. "Jolm has
been unjust to me; he. has been un
manly and unkind. Ile has injured
me beyond reparation." . • •
"No, no, Lowell," quickly inter
rupted his mother; " not beyond rep
aration."'
"Yes; ho has injured: my feelings
by the Most fatal darts Of malieeand
ill-will. He has lied about' me to
my friends, and even assailed • my
private character."
"And can you not forgive all this?"
she asked, tenderly.. •
" Perhaps I might," returned Low
ell Stearns; "but," lie added; in a
hoarse time, while his frame quiver
ep with deep feeling, has: done
more than that; he has - spoken of my
wife, and—. But I will not tell it all:
I cannot forgive him thia." • '
The. strong man sank into a chair
Reim spoke, and for time 'moments
his mother was, silent. - At length she
approached hina and laid her : hand
upon his head. .‘ • -
" Forgive him r she whispered.
" Never !" tittered Lowell.
" Forgive him, and be happy. Alas,
my son, you are not happy now; nor
can you be, so long as you are at en
mity with yorir brother . • 0, why will'
you let the breach grow wider I You
know that all this commenced from a
mera misunderstanding between you
and now you aro helping to make :it
worse. I,knoiv you will tell me that
you have done nothing' toliarm Sohn;

this, and he acts accordingly. He is
more impulsive than you are, but his
heart is as kind as yours, and- he is
all generosity and love to his friends.
More than flirty' years have
,: passed,
over, John's head, and during all that
time he never spoke one unkind word
to his poor mother." •
"And did I ever speak unkindly to
yon, my mother ?' asked. Lowell, in
a half-hushed voice. _ .
"No, no. Yon and John have both
kind hearts, and it grieves me sorely ,
to sea you as you are now. IWrieves
me to' see you both so unhapp . y.
Lowell, lieu that you do nofrealize

Lowell Stearns made no re ply to
his mother. Ho saw , that she was
unhappy, and h o kmew that he was
himself unhappy also. In former
years he.had loved his brother,: and
he knew that he had been faithfullh_
loved in return. . The trouble which
had so unfortruistely separated theuf
had beeU trivial its beginning, but
Lowell's'sternness of will and John's
hastineSi of temper hadlept the fire
on the increase. The first fault had.
belonged to to the younger brother;
but a word of explanation at theiiinti
might Imi:ft healed it without trouble;
now, however, the affair had become
deep and dangerous and thire was_
but one way for reniedy. 4That way
the aged mother world point out.

,Lowell, while a tear glistened in_ his

you have. wronged me, I freely for

you Millforget it.- Come, let us be
friends once , more more more."
Ld:e_an electric shock came . this.
speech upon. John. Stearns. A

then the tears- broke from his eyes.
He reached forth his hand, Ind' his
words• were broken and indistinct.
Ho bad not expected this from his
stern brother; but it catue like a
heaven-sent beain,of light to his' solif
and in a moment More the brothers
were folded in warm embrace.
When they were aroused, it was by
feeling a trembling hand laid upon
their heads; and, when they looked
up, they found their 'aged mother
standing beside them.;
"Bless • you, my children,. 'bless
you," murmured the white-haired pa
rent, as she raised - her hands toward
heaven, "and 0, I pray God that
you may never be unhappy more."

not alter his forgiveness.

very wrong—l ha-e abused you, my

"Your love will repay it all, John.

this dog seated on his Mudge, with
one fore foot lifted, eying a rat under
a cupboard, in some room connected
with the house. The rat also had
his eyes fixed on the dos:. and after
watching them a few. minutes, the
girl, thinking it strange, Called some
of the family : who, intereited. ,to sea
'hoiv this anions circdmstance would
turn out, stood by. For half of hour
these animals maintained the same
Position; being six or eight feet apart.
At the end, the rat, slowly, and trend - >
being with fear, began to' approach
the dog, their eyes still liked on each
