Younp Brown is intended for the Roval Military Academy, Wool wich: but his mother's means do not enable her to send him to a first class 'crammer," ao- he has to sit be neath the average schoolmaster. He works' hard and thinks a great deal, and gains a fair knowledge of the subjects he is required to learn. He poes up to tho competitive examina tion at Woolwich, and finds each ' question so complicated that he is utterly puzzled; and, when the re sults of the examination are made known, Brown is Bearly last on the list. . - ..... On the other t and, Smith is a son of a wealth tradesman who wishes his son to enter "as a cadet at Wool wich. Young Smith is sent earlv in life to a successful "crammer's," to be fattened with knowledfre as tur keys are crammed for Christmas. The crammer does not confine his attention to teaching his pupils; but be watches the examination papers set at Woolwich, and he finds that the examiners have each a peculiar "fad," and set their questions in a - ,rt nf rntntinn. "He looks carefully over these, and he forms a kind of estimate of the questions wnicn are likely to be 6et at any particular ex amination. He therefore trains his pupils for these questions, and is often so successful in his predictions lbi.tat least half the questions have ; been worked out by thee pupils a week' before j the- examination; and this result is 'obtained without any collusion between the crammer and .-Ynminpr. On one occasion that we know of, seven questions out of a paper 01 nurte-ru wnc juruiviw as "due;" and the pupils consequent ly of this crammer were most suc cessful at this "competitive.'' Young Smith is thus trained, and passes eay fifth out of a long .list, and is considered, as far.as this test is con sidered, to possess brain power far lyond that ot the-unfortunate Brown, who was nearly: last in this same examination. 4 ; Twenty years elapse, and Smith and Brown meet. Smith has jog ged on in the usual routine; he may have never either said or done a foolish thing. Brown, on the other hand, is a man of wide reputation, has written clever books, and done many clever things; yet people who know bis early history say how strange it was that he was so stupid when he was young, for he was ig nominioualy "spun" at Woolwich. Those who thus speak .'Imagine thattheexamination at which Smith succeeded and Brown failed was a test of their brain power. ' It was in . reality' nothing of the kind; it was merely a test of the relative experi ence of those who trained Smith and Brown. " Points la the Ta Bill. . ' -r Washington:, March 5.

A Pleasant Anecdote. The following exquisite rtorr is .ftHbuted to La Martine: but if we remember rightly, it was told many Vearj ago by an English traveler in Turfcc. who triislated it from the nguagg Qf that country: "In the tribe of Negedeh there was a horse whose fame was spread tar and near, and a Bedouin of another tribe whose name was Daber, desir ed extremely to possess it Having in vain offered tor it his camels and his whole wealth, he at length hit upon tlae following device, by which he hoped to gain the object of his desire. He resolved to stain his face with the Juice of an herb, to clothe himself mrags, to tie his legs and neck together, so as to appear like a lame beggar. , Thus equipped, he went to wait for Naber, the owner of the horse, who he knew was to pass that way. v hen he saw him approaching on his beautiful steed, he cried out ia a weak voice : "I am a poor beggar; for three days I have been unable to move from this spot to look for food. I am dying. Help me, and Heaven will reward you." The' Bedouin kindly offered to take him upon his horse and carry him home; but Daber replied : "Alas 1 1 cannot rise; I have no strength left" V Naber, touched with pity, dis mounted, led his horse to the spot and with great difficulty set " the seeming beggar on his back. But no sooner did Daljer feel himself in the saddle than he set spurs to the steed and galloped off, calling out as he rode: . "It is it is I, Daber !" Naber called after him to 6top and listen. Certain of not being pursu ed, he turned and baited at a short distance from Naber, who was arm ed with a spear. "You have taken my horse," said Naber, "and since Heaven lias will ed it I give you joy of it; but I con jure yeu never to teu any one now you obtained it. "And why not," asked Daber. "Because," said the noble Arab, "another man might be really ill, and men would fear to help him. You would be the cause of many re fusing to perform an act of charity for fear of being duped as I have been." Struck with shame at these words Daber was silent for a moment; then springing from the horse returned it to its owner, and embraced hira. Naber made him accompany him to his tent, where they passed a few days together and became friends for life. . A Blockade Story. Late in the fall of 1SC2, says M. Quad, in his stories of blockade run ning, the British schooner Francis loaded at Nassau and made for the coast of Florida. Just as she had sighted the coast a fish boat gave her the information that a Federal gun boat was cruising in those waters. The schooner kept on her way until night fell, and then becalmed. Pres ently a curious incident occurred. The gunboat had been looking into some of the inlets and had not seen the schooner. Two hours after dark she steamed slowly out to within a quarter of a mile of the schooner and then shut off steam and extin guished her lights. Those on the schooner could at first make heroqt with a night glass, but presently a fog arose and shut out the view. The night was ttill and the sea perfectly smooth, and those on the schooner could only wait and hope that a breeze would spring up during the night and enable her to creep away. In a calm one vessel is a magnet to draw another. They will slowly drift toward each other in every case, instead of separating. In ! this in stance those on the schooner soon discovered that the crafts were draw ing together," but they were power less to prevent it At midnight they could hear, the talk of the men oh the gunboat, though the fog was too thick to Bee anything. At 1 o'clock the vessels sottlv rubbed each other, end remained broadside on. ' as if lashed together. The Federals had simply to clamber, over the rail to capture the schooner," and the cha grin of her crew can be imagined but not described. In half an hour after her capture a breeze sprang up which would have carried her thirty miles before daybreak. Railroad Stories. The deep unow and hard ice are making rouble on the Vermont railroads. There is an occasional amusing 1 incident connected with the blockade. The other night a fright train broke apart on a curve. The first section had run quite a dis tance before the accident - was dis covered. Then it backed uncoupled on the missing section, ana went on to its destination. But on looking over his way bills the conductor found that one car was missing from the centre of the train, and its dis appearance was a mystery. Going biick, he found it down a bank. - A still more singular accident oc curred to a passenger train. It had halted as usual at a little station during the night, but no engine was to be found in the rooming. ; The tender was there all right, and as it 1roved had . piloted the train for a ong distance on a down grade, the ecgic having jumped the track without. darai'inff the .rest' of the train or checking its speed. Neither the engineer nor fireman was injured. 5 I Jill IIJ IH.I! I -' A Reasoning Tod. An exchange relates an interest ing instance of a toad's cunning.

' " " I. ,' Y. 'I, , ' ! v It is sometimes suggested that the extravagant notion young, ladies.of these davs have of the domestic com forU and luxuries necessary to their happiness are so appalling that, un less a young fellow is a "boss" poli tician, or a free and easy bank cash ier, or a treasury office sinecure, the thought of marrying is' enough . to drive him crazy, and no wonder the poor fellow is forever running away. But it would seem that in this age of universal - industry--the young chaps would not be so cowardly as to run away so often unless there was a general fear of something even more perilous than a possible scarc iity of funds." - - - Perhaps a deeper trouble is that young ladies in these times have be come so much a matter of skirts and corsets and bangs that they don't find or lose their hearts quite so ab solutely as our grandmothers did when they were girls. 4 P&rhaps the young lady of the period is as mer cenary as the young fellow. And while a man of any 'sour mav be usually is glad to labor and worry for the comfort and pleasure of a girl that loves him, that sort of devo tion soon flics into dust and vanish es the moment be feels that the girl is considering not how she can please him "and make him , happy, but how much pin money and.priv ilege of flirtation he will be pleased to throw into her -married arms.. At all events the boys are skipping al together too often, and if the girls want to stop that sort of thing as it would seem for their ow,n; reputa tions they" ought to want to per haps they had better hunt up ' their hearts again and remember that the true love of a woman is not only one ot the divinest but one of the most successful things in all this ' wide world. Am Excellent PUa, ' - . c When a girl . is ten years old, she should be given certain household duties to perform according to her size and strength, for, L which a sum of money should be paid her weekly. She needs a littLs pocket money, and the knowledge how to spent it judi ciously, which can so well be given by a mother to her little girl. She should be required to furnish a part of her wardrobe with this money. For instance, if she gets ten cents a week, she should purchase all ner stockings, or all her gloves, as the mother may decide ; and doing this under the mother's supervision she will soon learn to trade with judg ment and economy. Of course, the mother will see to it that the sum is sufficient to do 'this,' and vet leave a little for the child to spend just as she pleases... I hid will supply a healthy stimulus it will give her ft proper ambition arfd pride in her labor, and the ability to use money properly. : A she grows older, these household duties should be increas ed, with ft "proportionate increase of money paid for the performance of them: We know of a lady who di vides the wages of servants among her three daughters.""
