A DkED AND A WORD
A little spring bad lost Its way
Amid the trees and fern;
A passing stranger stooped a well,
Where weary men might turnt, - •
He Walled it in, and hung with Calls
A ladle at the brink;
lie thought not of the deed be did, ,
Bet Judged that toll might drink.
He ia;scd again, and tel the well,
lig summer never dried,
Has e,oled ten thousand parched hippies,
And saved a life besida.
A - nameless . matt amid a - crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory Ureath;
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul:from death.
0 germ ! 0 fount ! 0 word of love !
0 thought at random cast !
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last
[For the fErwtTEL•.]
THE STORY OF A RAIN DROP.
As I looked out of my :east win-
dow one morning, I saw the branches
of my lilac bushes dripping with rain
drops. The; drops formed slowly
amid: the fog; of the morning, hang
ing in rows under the twigs, clear
and tremulons, until their increased
size,..and the gentle breeze shook
them to the ground. And as the
drops upon - the lilac , bushes formed
and glistened, they began to tell me
the story of their life.
"We are small as you see, but our
numbers cannot be counted: we are
shining this.morning upon a thous
and bushes and trees, wherever the
clouds of last night dropped their
gifts, on roof, window-pane or branch,
there we wait and glisten for a mo-
ment, and then hasten on our mis
sion. We sail in the highest clouds.
We drift in the fogs that lie along
the valley. We gather in the dews
that forms upon a slimmer night. We
change our dress to suit the season.
On the clearest day we float on the
air in particles of moisture so fine
and insensible that no, one dreams
of our presence until the hot sun and
changing winds gather us into the
storm-cloud, and we sweep down in
a freshet uPon the earth. Some
times 'we float for weeks in light
fleecy clonds,• - hiding the sun, drift
ing on the Mi l er' air; ever changing
our forms and displaying many
colored robes to "the eyes of men.
Again we settle down in damp mists
upon the forest and 'fields, or, .frozen
by the winter , cold we flutter in
white snow flakes, and cover the
fields with a carpet more beautiful
Ilan the finest fabrics of the weaver
the wind playing its tricks, blows
us into the faces of, trayelcrs, or
sends us careering into fence corners
or piles us twin huge drifts to make
roads impassable. Sometimes we
harden into an ice crust, upon the
bosom of river and lake, and the
boys and girls find merry sport skat
ing upon our glossy surface. We drift
in glaciers from mountain sides.
and .float in 'great icy bergs from
.
northern seas. Our number and
aflinity,are so great that we easily
run together, and form streams along
the pastures. isnd rivers that roll
down the valleys, until' we find our
level in the great ocean. There we
surge in great! billows, now floatill
and now engulfing great ships, or lie,
in the depths far below, where fishes
in infinite variety make their home.
Then the winds sweep over us catch
ing us up in the finest moisture, and
raising us on high to float in clouds
or fall again in rain."
I listened to the story as they
glisten(' upon, the branches of the
lilac bush in the mist of the morning
But at this pOint I interrupted, and
addressing one drop lar , rer, and seeni
ingly more talkative than - the rest; I
said : "I have been looking upon you
foi some tinewith curious eyes, and
I should like to know what you are
made of." The rain drop answered,
`'Certain wise men not satisfied with
calling us by our old fashioned names,
have analyzed us, and they now de
clare in theiri books, that we are
made out of two gases, oxygen and
hydrogen. hydrogen they say, is a
combustible gas, and oxyger, is a
supporter of combustion."
"Wonderful," I said,'" that you
are so useful in extinguishing fires,
when you are Composed of such firey
dicindnts." "But what'':an endless
variety of forms you take. You
dress in different patterns at different
seasons and altitudes. Last winter
when my themometer stood at less
than thirty-tWo degreeS, I found
sonic of your, fellow drops freezing
into icicles as they 'dripped froM the
eaves of thethouse, and running into
the kitchen where a kettle of water
was boiling on the stove, I found the
heat to -be 212 degrees. Do you
always harden into ice or evaporate
in steam 'at those temperatures : "
" Certainly," replied the drop, " we
are subject to many changes, and we'
always obey the laws of our Maker.
We harden into ice or evaporate into
steam, or, we float in vapl?r or con
dense in rain, IST crystalize in snow
flakes or glisten in liquid drops as
you see us now; and all these forms
we take in obedience to supreme and
unvarying_" But you are so
small," I continue - d, " how can- you
oe of any use in the world !" "Yes,
small enough," 'said the drop, " often
much smaller than you see us,now,
but we have a great mission Co fill
for all that. The mighty ocean is
made of atoms so small as to once
float invisibly in the air. We'. work
unceasingly, and with great . results.
We moisten the atmosphere and
make it healthfUl. We fall in rain
and refresh the ',dry fields. We gush
forth from the . hillside to-water the:
thirsty cattle. We nourish the plants
that grow for tables of . men. " And
who can withstand our power when
in ten million.- drops we leap in the
mighty rivers, or lash the ships or
ocean, or frozen in driving snows
• we smother the storm bound traveler,
or in the mighty glacier we grind down
the mountain sides and fill the valley
with the drift of centuries." But
the drop had Scarcely finished its
eloquent tales,
'when, glistening and
tremulous, it fell from its perch on
the lilac bush, and dt§appeared from
my-sight, but Only to continue its
humble and usefel work. J.H.N.

ON THE BBL
I have known Aithur Gravely well
and intimately. A part of this 'story
came to my knowledge through my
own observation, and part he told me
himself.
Arthur came of an old,well-deflned
and respectable stock, with, just
enough aristocratic pride, inherited
from his progenitors, to give 1441
re
finement and self-reliance. At an
early age he was left an orphan, l and
reeeived most of his education 'under
the care of an uncle. When lie Irras
one and twenty he was admitted to
the employ of a banker named Van
derlain, and very soon took a posi
tion of trust and responsibility in the
house. A year later he took Funny
Summerton for his wife—pie of, the
fairest and sweetest of earthly treas
ures. Ile had loved her long and
truly, and her love in return had been
single and devoted. Thus was:, life
opening for Arthur Gravely with
bright and• happy promise. He had
friends whichever way he turned; his
business prospects were of the very
best, and his home was an earthly
paradise.
One enemy, and one enemy alone
at this time, stood in Arthur's path.
His wife did not see it then. She
loved him so fondly and trustingly
that she could not see, a fault.
A few of Arthur's friend lfeared
danger, and one of them, more boldly
than the rest, spcike to him warning
ly, but kindly ; but he turned away
from the warning with a sneer of de
rision.
The months and the years went on
—from twenty-two .to twenty-eight.
Six years of married life, .six
years•of hlgssing so far as the outer
timings of life can give blessing. In
the batik Arthur had assumed a posi
tion very near the head,and his salary
was munificent.
From early youth Arthil-OraVely
had found the wine cup muck the
symbols of life's social phase. sine
had kept wine in his own house ;1 he
had used it upon his sideboard and
upon his table; and he had partaken
freely abroad. In the earlier years
it was wine, 'and only wine of the
best and the purest. Later, stronger
liquors were required to keep up the
tone. At the age of eight and twenty
there had come an Maine flush upon
Arthur's cheek, and there were
blotches in the eye which ought not
to have been: there. Ile now took
brandy before breakfast, and throhgh
the dayslie was forced to supply fuel
to a fire:which else might have con
sumed all bodily comfort. As yet, he
had never been helplessly intoxicated.
He was confident in his own strength.
Alas! for the man thus trifling!
Ile knows not that his powers of :iii
derstanding are dying out as t he
body perishes!
At length Mr. 'Vanderbilt called
A rthur into his private office, and
told him that he was going to sus- .
peed business.
I have money enough," said . i Alr.
Vantlerlain, "and I know that iny
close 'application- to business is wear
ing upon 'me. 1 am growin g in years,
-and need rest. I think of goings to
Europe-''
"And of closing up your busines4?"
• Yes."
" But, sir, there is no need of that.
If you will trust your bank under the
guidance of some capable and re
sponsible agent, with your name, at
it's head, it might go prosperouslyron,
and you could go away on your trip
at will." I •
A cloud came upon the banker's
face and he shook his head.
" It is too late," he said.
," Some
time 1 may-tell you--mort." f .
Shortly after this, in process of
closing up his business, Mr. Vander
lain sent Arthur to a distant city I to
make • some important- settlements.
Arriving at his destination, the youpg
man called upon the 'eorrespondent
of the bank, and having' made pre
liminary arrangements he-found hip
self with a few clays upon his hands
which he 'might enjoy in pleasare.
On the very evening of his arrivalihe
had fallen in with - John Hatton
and William Roberts, two classmates
of earlier years. Ile was startled
when he saw. them: They were e•i
dently going down' hill—were drink
ing to excess. Yet they were 'gentle
men, - and Arthur joined them: He
spent a first and a second night I in
their company. On the second night,
for the first time in his life, Arthur
Gravely, drank to a state of helpless
stupefaction. Ile awoke on the next
day feeling sad and humiliated.
When helmet . his companions in! a
private parlor connected with their
sleeping apartments, he'found them
with a bowl of hot brandy between
them. A spirit of true friendliness
Caine upon him when he saw the
marks of the destroyer so deeply flied
upon the.companions of his boyhood.
" Boys," said. he, " this won't do.
You are going down."
They regarded him curiously, and
asked7him what he meant. ' • I
" You forget, old boy," said Hat
ton,' "that you are in' the same boat.
If we took psasage before you, it! is
no less sure that our route now is the
same. Don't preach, Arthur. Try
a bit of hot brandy."
There are moments in a
great crises when the events of f he
past flash before the mind as upon a
magic mirror—when a man, inn brief,
instant, recalls
. every salient point' of
his earthly career. Such a moment
was the .present to Arthur Gravely.
" Let it; alone," he said, solemnly.
" I telk you,`Jacc, and you, Will, that
you are, going down. You can't last
much longer At this rate."
"Well," retorted Roberts, with an
attempt tolaugh, "it appears to me that what'is sauce- for the goose ~is
sauce I'6r..the gander. 'Hadn't you
.better try to let-it alone yourselfl?"
" If I wilt try it, will you try it?"
he asked.
• " Will you try . it?" dem:mul l ed
Hatton.
"I will if you will join me."
"Done!" . • • -
And they did it. They joined
hands and promised oneanother that
they would be true and steadfast.
A new surprise was in store for
Arthur. Gravely. He found upon cut
ting off his spirituous liquors that
REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY WARNER
his body weakened, and that his
hands shook as with palsy. He ap
plied to t physician for help.' Fortu
nately, he applied to a man of sense
and understanding.
" Can you give me something to
steady my nerves and restore my ap
petite ?" Arthur asked, after he had
frankly stated his case:
"This shows you, my dear sir,"
said the physician, "into what a dim
g,trods state you had Mien. I can
give you something to steady your
nerves, but it worm,' not help you in
the end. If pm_
,will be brave and
true, on will .:o!ixe out all right in a
few days."
Ariliiir - Said he, should not go back.
e wanted no stimulant—no more of
Mil
The trial was a severe one, and ,it
ma• h.l ye "been a blessed thing for
i i ur Gravely that it was so. lie
felt more heroism in : the conquest,
and he also saw more clearly how
deeply the evil habit had become fixed
upon him. On the morning of the
fourth day of his trial he awoke with
an •appetite for foodond was able , to
eat a hearty breakfast. lie was a new
man from that time fourth. The
ician had given him certain hygienic
directi6ns which he followed implie-
itly, and thus he held, cast upon his
health as it came back to him.
And on the fourth day Arthur saw
Hatton and Roberts: They had kept
the faith, awl had been unexpectedly
prospered. An excellent opening in
business had been presented and ac
cepted. •
On the fifth day the busnieSgwhieh
brought Gravely froni his hoine . was
concluded, and he set out on his re
turn. And the last struggle ; , had
passed. His nerves had bedome
steady, his appetite had started as if
by magic, •his cheek had grown fair,
and the white of his eye was growing
Clear and pearly again.
He reached his own city in the
morning, and went first to the bank
and gave in a return of his business.
Mr. Vanderlain, had glanced quickly
and eagerly into his face when he en
tered, and a wondrous change . came
on the banker's manner as the busi
ness proeeeded. Something outside,
the business in hand was evidently
on his mind.
Arthur did not reach his home un
til time for dinner, but he had sent a
boy from the bank with wori i that.he
should be there.
" Fanny!"
"Darling! 0, I'm so glad to see
you back!"
Something made the wife even
happier than she had tbought as she
rested within her husband's embrace;
but in the sudden joy she could not
see it,—she could only feel a great
warmth, like the glow, of heaven, as
Arthur's kiss 'came, ..stv4et and pure,
to her lips.
As they entered the 'dining-ro)m
Arthur saw the decanter of wine
near his plate.
" Take it away, Fanny," he said,
smiling. "If you want it hereafter
for a medicine, k-ecp it. For myself,
1 shall not want it."
.Not .want it ?—Arthur ?"
" 1 have done with it forever!"
He spoke solemnly, with a manli
ness that was strong and reliant.
An4l the wife saw whence had come
the great warmth in her heart ; saw
it in the pure cheek, in the clear eye,
as she had caught it in the sweet
breath.
"Arthur-=my husband," she whis
pered, as though hardly daring to
trust her own senses, " is-it true ?
do you mean—forever ?"
live, darling, God giving
me strc►iath and reason."
Fanny•was upon the opposite side
of the table. She tried to speak, but
her voice failed her. She turned
white= then she presSed her hand for
an instant upon her heart—and then,
as the crimson flood once more
bounded on its course, she covered
her face and sank down, weeping like
a child.
Arthur was by her side in a mo-
went.
't Fanny I—my wife !—what is it ?"
She looked-up-and caught his star
tled gaze through her tears. With a
quick movement she threw her - arms
around his neck, and pillowed her
head upon his bosom. •
1" Oh, Arthur !—bless you! I could
die for joy if I did not feel that I
could have more happiness in living
now for you!"
here was a ne`w revolution. Arthur
Gravely now learned how
. his sweet
wife had suffered without daring to
complain—how the worm had gnawed
at her heart !—saw it all 'the more
clearly
! because he saw in his present
time her surpassing joy and ecstacy.
Not many words were spoken.
This ,was not the time for such_ a
heart-moving theme. And now, as
they eat the meal, Arthur told of his
trip to the distant city.
After dinner Arthur went out to
carry a budget to: it neighbor, and
when left alone, Fanny sat down and
cried anain for joy. And so Mr. Van
derlaiiffound her. lie had stopped
*'passino to go on an errand.
`" Mrs. ° Gravely I What has hap- 1
pefied ? Wadt is wrong?"
`fWrong ?" she repeated, loOking
upj " 0, sir, it is for joy I am crying,'
And then She told him the source
of the new happiness that had.opeued
to her.
Mr. Vanderlain listened, and after
a deal of thought he slowly said.
with his hand upon Fanny='s *fair
head—
" Den child, you may rejoice NO.
out fear. If .irthur has pl-dged
honor to this new life, be sure he wi
keep the faith!" 521
Most of the afternoon A atm'. spew
at the bank ; and as he sat i. at7the ta
ble in. the private ottlee•waiting for
the banker, a feeling' of sadness and
regret came upon him. It would be
hard to leave•the old place, and it
might be a long, loUg time before he
'a• - •" :°6'. ---
could find another Sol pleasant. _
It was toward evening ticlien Mr.
Vanderlain came in, looking flushed
and self-satisfied.
"I have kept you waiting, Arthur,','
but I have been busy.' I have made
a most important change in my pro
gramme."
"Ah I Then you ate • not going
away. I"
"Yes.l.shall go to Europe ; but
I shall not give up my banking busi
ness. I have found a new - man—one
I safe, reliable, and competent,—who, I
=
•
think, will take my business when I
am absent." •
“Mr. Yanderlatn,” cried the young
man Ifmnkly, " I am glad of this, for
I know I shall be able to ;persuade
you to let #0 keep my place in your
emplOy." i- _
The, banker shook his head.
Arthur trembled, and; started to
speak.
" tut, tut—not your present place,
:Artlitir. Know then you are my new
- ;man. If you will take charge of my
business,d. shall not let. it go from
'me;• and 1 shallleave it in your hands,
-'knowing that both it and you will

" Mr. Vanderlain !"
" my 'boy! I have seen your

'And When she told me whence her
joy came, I knew there was joy for
one alSo. To the new man I giire my
:entire confidence, and in his hands I
-fear not to.,.trust. my name and my
,tiOnor.'? - .;
It was Arthur Gravely's turn now
.to weep ; and he could , no more' help
it than he could have helped the great
.
llood 'of peace and blessedness that

And now, looking back, Arthur
Gravely sees how near upon the fearful
brink he stood. From his position of
Wealth and honor and love, he
can see the dark pit from which he
escaped, and he sees hundreds upon
hundreds sinking into it yearly.
