Pass not by the child unheeding t
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown ho'll pot lo-jet it ;
For remember, boj's make men.
When the buoyant youth fu, . pli fts

Chide your child in gentle accents;
Do tint in yonr anger speak.
You must sow in youthful bosoms
Seeds of tender mercy then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage
When the erring boys are men.
nvc you never seen a grandsire,
With bis eyes uirlow with joy.
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him, a boy I
Or relate some slight or coldness.
With a brow all clouded, when

T.) remember, boys made men.
Let us try to add some pleasure
T the life of every boy ;
For each child uceds tender Interest
In ils sorrow and its Joy.
Call your boys home by its fcrightnees j
Thry avoid a gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhe.rs
And remember, boys make men.

thry were to remain that night, and go on
tlie next day to their destination St. Louis.
After the lirst salutation our hero went
to his room to remove some of the eviden
ces of his long rido from icw York, lie
had removed his coat, vest, and collar ; ho
had splashed, nnd soaped, and washed, till
his damn curls hung elofcc to his shapely
head, when he nindu a startling discovery.
Flushed and breathless, bo burst into the
next room upon his friend.
4 Townsend,' cried he, 'what upon earth
do you suppose V I've got '.he wrong bag.
I've chunked baggage with the Angel of
Mercy. Look at that slipper see that
thimfile contemplate that glove.'
4 It's evident you've got the lady's satch
el. And what was them in yours '
'Don't bring up that dreadful idea.'
said Pick. 'Cigars and a hair-brush,
a pack of cards aril a comb, pocKet tlask
and a tooth brush everytbingdisreputable.
If I am judged by that bug, I am a lost
ruac.'
' And thir 1 took for n clean shirt nnd
Dick held up a f' illed nnd fluted sack, such
as do duty for iirs extensive night-dresses
with ladies when traveling. 'I'd like to
see Angelica when she opens my satchel.'
And Dick fell to musing, witli the slipper
perched on two lingers, and the frilled
white sack sprrad out tenderly upon his
knees.
In an upper npparttnent of a handsome
mansion in St. Louis, on thecveuing of the
day our heroine first made the reader's ac
quaintance, beautiful Uello A Men, the pet
fi'd and only daughter of the house, sat cou
'tcmplatiug thu various articles hr confi
dential 4uaid was disposing upon the table
articles taken from no less a receptacle
than Dick Marcy's travelling-bag.
The curds and cigar-case lay side by side,
and a highly scented parly they were.
' What's in thu liltlc silver flask, Kosa ?'
caid the fair mistress.
Utandy, ma'am,' replied the maid.
' llu cau't be Very dissipated, to travel
with such a bottle. That's in esse of sick
ness, 1 suppose,' returned 15elle.
'It'ii my belief,' said Itosa, who was a
shrewd girl, 'that the gentleman was a
mighty nice one, elso you'd not so readily
exciiau thu cards md the bottle.'
'For shame, Hosa. All gentlemen play
euchre travelling, and even clergymen take
a liltlu brandy in case of sickness, 'answer
ed lielle. 'And this man was a gentleman,
and a liberal or;e, too, for be gave the poor
emigrant wonir.ii SIO. V hut's that, lto

For nt Ui.it moment Hoea ieW betwecE
her lingers a letter.
Whether it was wrong to read a stran
ger's letter vexed Belle for a rmrr.ent, as
her eyes glanced at the superscription aud
hand-writiuy.
'Why, of r.lUhings 1' exclaimed the e!e.
lighted" gi.l, seizing the letter. "Why, Ho
sa. this is Jenny Marcy's writing, and ad
dressed to Itichard Marcv her only darl
ing brother who was iu Europe when we
two graduated at Madame Hitter's, iu
lirooklyn.'
Hello read rapidly till she had reached i
the middle of the letter, when she burst in-
to a merry laugh. j
' Hear ihis liora," said she, and the read !
from the lettrr :
' Above all things, Diek, dear, don't fail, i
while in M. Louis, to see my best friend '
I and school-:. .ate lielle Alden. I know
I vou will
fall iu lnvn with her, for besides
I being th'j best girl in the World
she's a !
beituiy and n heiress, and father's choice
above all c.thei"!, for his son'n wife. He i
used to talk ite.vcrat home, ami hop? lielle
would not marry before you came homo
from Europe. She is full as anxious to '
know you, and wears your hair and mine 1
iu a locket father gave her last year, ( iive j
her lots of love. And be of her to over
look your many imperfections for the ake '
of her old school-fellow, Jenny."
'Then this gentleinau is, of course, Miss
Jenny's brother,' said Horn, 'nnd what will '
she tay when t,he hears of your haviuy met
iu this romantic way V :
4 1 don't intend to tell her of it till I go :
to New York this fall,' snid Bulle. 'I'er- ;
haps her brother will call.' '
Rut in this supposition Jlell was wron.
I Tho month passed, and she saw no more
I cf th'M'oldeii-hcailed liichnH.
And r he carefully separated the yellow
! lock in the litlle keepsake f-'om the dark
i tress of Jenny's and put it back into its
I place alone, while another locket held the
I bit of Jenny's. And somehow llessio look
, ed very, very, often nt the we golden curl,
and she never did io but the rest of the
i handsome head sprang up beside the lock ;
: and she would sit and contemplate the
I picture her fancy wrought for her, litlle

A Strange tat.
Pat Maloney, belter known by the name
of Father l'at, on returning from work, u
evening, was met at the ",aie by JMddy, his
better half, in a high state of excitement.
'l'at,' says she, 'there's a strange cat iu
the cabin. '
iJast her out, thin ; don't bo botlnrin'

'To be sure I will : bad luck to tha coi

me, Biddy, till 1 teach her the respect that's
due to a man in his own house to be takin'

Now, Pat had a special antipathy to
cats, nnd never let puss an opportunity to
kill one. This he resolved to do ia tha
present cae, aud instantly formed a plan
for the purpose. JVrcuivin;; but one way
of egress for the animal, he says to Jhddy :
'ilavc yez iver a male-bag in the hous,

'Kiddy, dii'l'M, ye're a jewel

Kiddy brought the garment, fnd sure
wiioiigh it made a good substitute for a

l'at declared at a glance that it was ',1

the chest, he took a look tchiud, aud aaw

The Pottsville Alutera' Journal of the

tract the following

In 10'J thu mine inspector wasannointed
for tho lirst time, under the act that passed
j nt the session of lSi;t. Hu commenced his
duties April 1, lStiD, and for the nine
i months ending December 31, lfM, there
were .07 deaths in the mines, and 'Jl persons
, were injured, which whs at the rale of abort
one death for 07,800 tons mined, nnd 42,
4U'J for every person injured. Making tho
same ratio comparison for the whole pro
duct that year, it would have give'n 7J

Of the injured 34 subsequently died
within the year.
To show "the terribly demoralizing effect
of long suspensions, it will be observed that
no less than &7 deaths and 135 other casu
alties (nearly rrie-lmlf) oceurrod in August,
.September, and October, tho three months
after the resumption ot work, and those
who unnecessarily caused this sustiension
are responsible, to a grent extent, lor this
immense slaughter of rmd the. maiming of
human beings. The largest number of
deaths arc caused by fulls of coal and rocks,
while the number of deaths by exploisioa
of c;a w ere only six, but the number injur
?d by there uxplonions are Rref-ter than
from any other cause. The falltag of two
cages by the breaking of chains, etc., bellied
no lew than Tti persons, while 1(J others
I perished at d-itlerent times from the tamo
. causes.
I The number of persons killed in tha
' Southern Lehigh district, emhraoirjg part
I of Luzerne and Carbon coVtntie, vra j but
; V, the cumber injured being 2(5 a total of
i 33. These figures include tho period from
July l'. to December 31. As the quantity
I of coal mined, sent to market, and eonttum-
ed in that district after July ltl was in tha
I ueihbothood of 2,0(JJ,0Ul) tons, it would
: give one death to ,S3,0U0 tons mined, and
1 about 70,000 for each oie injured. What
J a contrast with Schuylkill :o'.mty, whera
! one person wf. killed in 1S70 to 35,'jUO
J tous, and one injured for tvery 10,000 tous
I mined I
! The number killed during tho amo
', period in the middle district of Luzerno
' county was 20, and tho number injured
I a total of vM.
Tive of those eivec as injured have since
died, thereby increasing the number of
killed to 2."). and decrea'trp tbc number of
injured to 43. As v;o Ttf.'-o no returns of
the product of the separate colleries em
braced in thii district, we can tnake 110
comparison wi'h tho other?, but as tho pro
duct would reach nearly 2,000,000 tons, it
would give one death for each 100,000 tons
mined aud 4-',0i0 tons for each casualty.
