Lights J now the lenei of Antumn 31 irk another vanished year ; Think how many thus beside us, Silsnt lie od sorrow's bier ; Cold and valiant arms are willing, Coca so fond, so strong to save ; Eyes are red with midnight weeping, Hope looas up beyond the grave. There are hearth-stones ed and lonely, There are'mouods of freemen a!ain Those once loved, and love returning, Sever more shall meet again. TboM whose lost words, spoken kindly, Asked our tho'ts for tho'tg they gave, Praying for a brighter season. Whisper now. beyond the grave. Fsia would we once noro emLraco them, '.Neath the storm cloud on the sea, (living tear for tear, of so. row. Giving smile for smile, of glee. Thus our ryes seek out that haven, Far acre each surging wave, Where in beauty and in gladness, We may meet beyond the grave. God wa'.eh o'er ns through the shadows, I'.e?tii:g on tby brow and mine; More of joy and less of doubting, Fills the land of light divine Fills the land where orystal water .Shores of greenest verdure lave; There for thee, and there lore only, Hore looks up beyond the grave. JAMIE'S STRUGGLE. Where's Jamie?" asked Madge, timMly, coming into the room, cheery with its pret ty criniKiu coal fire, and bright yellow jets of pan light. Lier cousin lroed up coldly at the ques tion, Uncle Gould frowned ominously over Lis pacer, and Aunt Gould just eaid, verv dryly: "In bis room," Madga looked uaeavily from one to the other, but no single pair of eyes turned up on her with FinpaIy or explanation, and after a few momenta of irresolution, site UiJ Juwn her .school books, and wont from tbe room. Iu the hail she Diet the house r.iaid. "Oh ! Betty, please tell me, has anything happened, and why didn't Jamie come to school to-day '!" J3etty shook ber hood. "Weil, Mi, I don't like to grieve you, but your brother hr.s done a horrible thing, atid if lie v.as a poor boy now, 1 suppose he wuuld be looking through iron bars in the county jail !" "Betty, wbnt do you moan ?" sid Madge tarniog pal. "Well, Mi.-s," said IJftry, sinking hrr voice to a whisper, "you'd have to know it som-titn:?, I tupposc, and the fact is, he's just been Mcalir.;; money out of muster's drawer a hundred dullard, may bo more or W." "It isn't .-o!:" cried Madge, in aloud, shurp tone. "What ! Jamie etoal! It's a wicker! lie!" and she burst iuto tears. "Very we!!," said the offended Betty, '"you'll soon 2nd out whether I lie or not, for I believe he's none too good to be a thief, nor you either, with allyoui mincing, saint ly ways." Hut Madge was out of hearing two itps at a time up the broad stairs, till she n-ached a little room at the farther end of the. third itory eorrider. She burst in with out any ceremony, but all was still in the fold winter twilight,exeept the dismal da-Ji-ini; of sleet against the window panes. ''Ja niie." she called. At first there was no reply, and then a little movement behind the dingy brown niriaios lt rayed hiui, and Madge was at li' tide, with her aims flu tic around hi n?,-k. "I knew you had heard all about it the tninnte ,a culled me," faltered Jamie, try ing to iniilc. "I heard the 'tears in your voice,' you know ; but you don"t believe it, no yoa?" "Never!"' cried Madte. vehemently, "now tell uie all about it. How could any one dare to .-ay so?" "I hardly know where to begin," said Janiie, nith a great effort at self control. I have to tell you something I've been kei pmj a secret ever since last summer. a ee when Cousin Bell l.ad her birthday rty !a t June, and a'! the girls swept around in such pretty tdiiuing silks, or else ire-ses half clouds and half cobwebs, and y'U only had that pink calico it hurt mc, 1 Jon t know why. You looked just as sweet as any yes, th prettiest of all I thought ; 1 ut wl,t.n Fisdu-r K-iiht said : "Just look at my i.-u-r! Isn't .-he pretty, and doesu't her dress l.Kik as if she had iMiuht three or fur yard of sunset, and had the moon up ail tiU-ht sewing star, on it?' Then the boys kueLi-d, and I .-aid 'And isn't my sister Jr"y, too '?' for you did look a- sweet as a T,e. I thought; but that proud Hsher Ki.-ht laughed just tike a knife I mean it teau'd to cut right into me, and he said 'O. yes, and how kind Betty was to lend her that drsa. Some of the boys said, 'too bad!' but that only hurt me more, and I cret't away pretty soon, and lay behind the fk snow-ball bushss, and looked up iu tbe great, still sky, and wondered why God couldn't have taken you and me too, when father and mother died, and not left us to fottie to this proud, rich unele, who "does not luve us, and 4reau us just like little beg Srs." 'Oh, don't say S3, Jamie," said Madge; I m sure he's been very kind to us some times." "I don't remember many times iust now." e'Khed Jamie. "Well," he cont'aued "a little while af ter that I heard Lutio bay that when her birth-day came, in the winter, she meant to bave a jrrand time, and invite every boy and girl she had ever seen. Then I thought to myself '"o they will want te dress Madge iu tome utrly brown merino, but I am de termined she shall look the prettiest or them all. So I began to work after school, doing all kinds of little jobs for auybody that would hire me, and I never spent anything for candy or marbles, you know, so that all the boys began to call me raiser. But I did not mind that, lecu-e thought my pleas ure was coming by and by. The money came very slowly. But when Aunt gave me money 1o buy mittens, I just went with out and kept my hands in my pockets. Their I got considerable on Christmas, you know, and altogether, yesterday I found I had just enough to buy what I wanted. So Mr. Green, who is always so kind to tne, excus ed me from my le.-sons this morning, and I walked all the way to B , because I thought I could get nicer things there, and Madge, I bought you the prettiest green silk! It made me think of the woods in spring, and I thought when you had it on, with your sweet, white face, you would look just like a lily coming up out of a Led of moss." "Jlear little Jamie!" saidMafge! "did you d) all that for me? I aui sorry. You know that J don't care what I wear." "Ves, I knoy it," said Jamie, "and you are always loveiy fo inc. I suppose it is be cause, as Mr. Green says, you always wear tho jewels which are of prcat price in the sight of God. I haven't a dtiubt, Madge, but the angels thiuk you're the prettiest girl in the world, but some way, I know its foolish I waated to have the boys thiuk so too." "Well, when I camo back, just as I got to the hall door with uiy bundle, leeling so proud that I had earned it all myself, out came Undo, looking very red, and storming about tome money about twenty dollars I think that he said he had left in his desk and forgot to lock it last night. Nobody knew anything about it, and I was just go ing, on tip-toe, to my room, when he called very suddenly : 'What have you got iu that bundle?' 'A dress for Madge.' 'A dress for Madge?' said he, louder yet. 'let me see it.' So I opeasd it, trying to teli him that I earned all the money myself, but as soon as h saw the pretty siik he caught hold of my arm so I almost screamed, and said : ' ou earned money enough to buy such a drc?s as that? You are telling me a falsehood. Confess now that you took my money.' Then out came Aunt Gould, and Uille and Lutie, aud they held up their Lauds, and looked so thocked, and wouliu't believe a word I said. Then Uncle seemed to try Jo be kind, and told me that if I con fessed, and asked his pardon he would for give me. But I couldu't tell a lie, and only said that I did not, could not do such a thing, till he called me a hardened, obsti nate boy, and ordered me up to my room. And as for the dress, MaJjjo, that I've Leeu thinking about uiore than six months," Ja mie coughed violently, "I heard Aunt say that it was not quite a loss, for with a yard or two more it would make a dresa for Lu tie." Madge tried to comfort him, but broke down. "Never mind," said he at last, patting her tear stained cheek, "I am determined you shall have something nice after a!!. To morrow is the skating tuatcli, you know, and I thiiik I am sure of the second prize, at least, and whatever I get bhall be given to darling Madge." "You will be snre to get it," cried Madge, with eager sympathy. "You've skated ev ersince you could walk," and she remem bered with a glow of pride that no one had ever yet caught Jamie in a race, and often when you only thought bitu playing, he'd be writing his name with this rather clum sy steel pen, on the great white page of ice, as handsomely as on a leaf of his writing book. "Yes,you'll be sure of the prize, Jamie," she said, exttltingly, "and I know it will all come right with uncle too. I'm going to tell him all about it now." But to her great grief.angry Uncle Gould would not hear a word. "No, child," said he, "no one can make mc believe that a boy would go without marbles and candies half a year to buy his sister a dress. And if he did, he never could have saved enough for such a handsome silk. Besides, what set tles the matter, Betty saw him in the libra ry at my desk very early this atoning, before any one was up. It is a clear case, thougtt it grieves me to say so." The text morning, as, after a sleepless night, Jamie stole down stairs with his skates his unele met him iu the hall. "You cannot skate to-day James," said he, almost kindly, as he looked at ths boy's flushed, worn face. "I feel it but right that you should have some punishment for sueh a great fault." "But I did not do it sir," said James, imploringly. Uncle Gould grew quite stern. "Remem ber that Betty saw you, my child. Either confess and ask pardon, or go back to your room." "Yes, Jamie," said Aunt Gould, appear ing from the parlor, "you love Madge dear ly, and no doubt the temptation was very great. We have been talking it over, and we wish to be as kind as your own father and mother. Confess your fault, and, as it ia the first time, we are willing to forgive you, and trust you once more. And indeed, since it would make you so very happy, I even promise to give the dress to Madge." "Don't be a prig, Jiiii," said Lutie ; just say you did it, and have it done with." What a terrible struggle went on in Ja mie's breast. If he told a lie, there was love and forgiveness the skating prize and the pretty dress ; if he told the truth, nothing but coldness and silent contempt, aud soli tude in his dreary room. What a struggle? The hot passions raged, and the terrible fire burned through his cheeks. He hesi tated. Ahl is he going to love the praise of man more than the praise of God? A moment more of silence, and he says firmly "I did not do it, Uncle. I cannot tell i lie." Poor Jamie spent the day in his room, at tended by Madge, his faithful shadow. They heard Belle and Lutie go away merrily with their skates, but, strange to say, they did not feel so very miserable, and even smiled as their eyes met. "In't it queer I can be so happy?" said Jamie. "If it wasn't for this headache I should feel light as a feather." "Do you remember that strange verse that mother used to say?" said Madge. "Behold we count them happy which en dure.' I believe I understand it better now, Jamie; and what is the rest of it? 'Ye have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful and of tendered inerey." Iam so glad that you endured it all, Jamie and who knows what the end will be? I am quite certain that it will all come right at last." Jamie tried to smile hopefully, and when ever a vivid lcmcmbance of bis heavy dis apnointmeut came over him, he repeated softly to himself, "Very pitiful, and of ten der mercy." It is a week after.andthe night of Lutie's birth-day, Madge cau it be possible is standing by the piano in that identical green silk, though with that happy flush on her cheeks, she looks more like a moss rose than a liliy. Aud Janiie was there ever such a radient face ? WTiat can have happened? But here is Madge, eager to tell you all : how "Aunt Gould found the missing roll of bills caught behind the Jitfle drawer, and how proud Uncle Gould had actually asked Jamie's pardon, and since had trea'ed him almost as respectfully as if be hd be?n a grown man, and everybody wa? so kind, and she (Madge) was so proud ! Oh! she could n't begin to tell all she felt. But whocanexpres Jamie's happiness! happiness not only that again he is respeet ed and loved that Madge is acknowledged sweeter than any other boy's sister that Uucla Las already f-hakeii hands with hiai twice that evening but there is a deeper joy the sweet peace the consciousness of victory over great temptation. A nd this it is which makes one tarn from the merry sparkling faces to the sweeter light in Ja mie's great earnest eyes, and whisper soft ly: "we count them happy which, endure !" Cast a Line for Yourself. A young man stood listlessly watching boiue anglers on a bridge. He was poor and dejected. At last, approaching a basket filled with wholesome looking fish, he sighed : "If now I bad thexe.I would b happy. I could sell them at a fair price and buy uie food and lodging." "I will give you just as many and just as (oodCsh," said the owner, who chanced to hear his words, "if you will do uie a trifling favor." "And what is that," a-ikid tho other ea gerly. "Only to tend this line till I comeback ; I wish to go a short errand." The proposal was gladly accepted. The old fisherman was gone so long that the young man began to be impatient. Mean while the hungry fish snapped greedily at the baited hook, and the young man lost all his depression in the excitement of pulling them in ; and when tho owner of the line returned, he had caught a large number. Counting out from them as many as were in the basket, and presenting them to the young man the old fisherman said : "I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught to teach you whenever you see others earning what you need, to waste no time in fruitless wishing, but to cast a line for yourself." A Fact. The choice of a proper pursuit in life is of lasting importance. The failure of many men is not because they do not possess ability.but because they do not know how to use it. The choice of business in life in nine cases in ten is left to chance or caprice, or anything but what it should be. As a result, very many occupy places which they never fill, are loaded with tasks they never accomplish, and are in pursuit of ob jects they never reach. This explains the disjointed, eccentric, irregular state of things seen in almost every community. If we all knew our guage, started right, and never ran off the track, the working force of so ciety would be far greater than now, and its results of far more consequence. How im portant, therefore, to determine the proper puisuit. - A darkey returning from church was ask ed to give an account of the speakers ser mon. "Well sah, do summcn was upon de loaves and de fishes. De minister said dar was seven fousand loaves and five fousand fishes, divided 'nior.g de twelve 'postles." "Well what miracle is there about that." "Why sah, de mer'cle was dey didn't bust!" ' After a clergyman had cnitod a happy pair, not long ago, an awful silence ensued, which was broken by an important youth, who exclaimed : "Don't be so unspeakably happy." A running spring of salt water, nearly as strong as that obtained at a depth of eight hundred feet, was discovered near the works of the Western Salt Company, Milwaukie, Michigan, a short timo since. The Phenomena of Death. Dr. Richardsou says that by the strict or dinance of nature death is not intended to be cruel or physically painful to the body. The natural rule is that the natural man should know no more concerning his own death than his own birth. Born without the consciousness of suffering, and yet sub jected at the time to what in after life would be extreme suffering, he would die, if the perfect law be fulfilled in him, in like man ner oblivious to all pain, mental and physi cal. At his entrance into the world, he sleeps into existence and awakens into knowl edge ; at his exit from the world, his phy sical cycle completed, he dozes into sleep and sleeps into death. The true euthanasia, or purely painless, purely natural physical death, is described in its perfection, as among the most won derful of natural phenomena. The faculties of mind which have been intellectual, with out pain, or anger, or sorrow.We their sway, retire, rest. Ideas of time and place are gradually lost ; ambitioB ceases; repose is the one thing asked for, and t-leep day by day gently and genially wiles away the hours. The wakings are short, careless, painless, happy awakenings to a busy world, to hear sounds of children at pray, to hear, just au dibly, gentle voices offering aid and comfort, to taik a little on simple things, aud by the merest weariness, to be enticed once again into that soothing sleep which, day by day, with more frequent repetition, overpowers all. At last, the intellectual man reduced to the instructive, tbs consummation is de sirable; and without pain or struggle or knowledge of the coming event, the deep sleep that falls so often ia the sleep perpet ualeuthanasia. This as it is described, is the death by nature; aud when mankind has learned the truth, when, as will be, tbe time shall come "that there shall be no more an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days," the act of death shall be as mercifully accomplished as any operation which, on the living body steeped in deep oblivion, the modern surgeon pain lessly performs. From tbe process of the purely natural death there are some exceptions. The su preme organizing mind has exposed us to natural accideuts, ia which the death, sud den, unexpected, inevitable, is paiulcs al.no. Lightniug stroke, sou stroke, crash of mat ter, swift burial in treat waters these are common acts of nature that kill, and so quickly that the body hath not time to know or to feel. To experience pleasure or pain. we have to receive tbe impression, and it has to be transmitted to tbe organ of the mind ; here it has to be fixed or registered ; lastly, that the mind has to become aware that the impression is registered, which last act is ia truth tbe conscious act. Time ia required for tl-.is, aitbeugh almost inappre ciable. Destruction by lightning stroke is so swift that the impression conveyed to the body is not registered, and therefore is not known or felt. It is the same with sudden immersion in water, consequent insensibility, and restora tion. The experience of some who have undergone this isjCnt ire loss of all conscious ness of all that took place from and after the immersion. Nature is kind even in her determined, unrelenting action. And eveu in death caused by tbe action of the spirit of free will in man, which ren ders the world practically a chamber of sui cides for, by want, by pleasure, by care, by strife, by sloth, by labor, by indolence, by courage, by cowardice, by lust, by unnatural chastity, by debasement, by ambition, by generosity, by avarice, by pride, by servili ty, by love, by bate, and by all tbe hundred opposed aud opposing passions in their ex cess, we die, we kill it is on the whole not cruel or painful. In all the pestilences, the brain of the stricken usually loses its func tions long before dissolution, and to the suf ferer the last act is a restless sleep. In ex tremely violent death from human causes, the railway collision, the crush in battle.iife is extinguished in a moment without the consciousness of pain. In consumption, al though painful to behold, how many of its victims live to their final Lour in happy planningsof tbe future and die in the dream. The points in this subject are simply these: Nature, which id to us tho visible manifes tation of the Supreme Intelligencers benef icent in the infliction of the act of death ; that thwarted in her ways.she is still benef icent, and that she may be trusted by her children. The great law and intention of nature, is that in death there should be no suffering whatever. Whateyer there is in death of pain, of terror, of unsubdued sorrow to the liviog,is made pain, made terror, made sorrow; and that to attempt the removal of these is the noblest and holiest task the spirit of man can set itself to carry out and to perfect It is to give euthanasia to the individual, niil lenium to the world. A mounted officer was riding through a field in which there were some apple trees laden with early fruit, and some straggling persimmon trees covered with green persim mons, lie saw some soldiers attempting to hide, at once suspected that they were rob. bing the orchard. So he halted and the following colloquy took place: "Hallo, what are you doing there?" said the officer. "We come to get some 'simmons." "Apples, I expect; why the persimmons are green enough to pucker your mouths all up." "That's just what we want with 'em ; we want to make our mouths small enough to suit the sue of our rations. A Good Word for Winter. I think the old fellow has hitherto had scant justice done him in the main. We make him the symbol of old age or death, and think we have settled the matter. As if old age were never frosty, but kindly too; as if it had no reverend graces of its own as good in their way as the ceisy impertinence of childhood, the elbowing self-conceit of youth or the pompous mediocrity of middle life. As if there were anything discreditable in death, or nobody had ever longed for it. Suppose we grant that winter ra the sleep of the year. I take it upon me to say that bia dreams are fiuer thaa the best reality of his waking rivals. "Sleep, silence, child, the father of soft re?t," is a very agreeable acquaintance, and most of us are better employed in his compauy than anywhere else. For my part I think winter a pretty wide awake old boy, and his bluff sincerity and hearty ways are more congenial to my mood, and more wholesome for me, than any charms of which his rivals are capable. Spring is a fickle mistress, who either does not know ber own mind, or is so long in making it up, whether you shall have her or not have her, that one gets tired at last of her pretty miffs anil reconciliations. You go to her to be cheered up a bit, and ten to one catch her in the sulks, expecting you to find enough good humor for both. After she has become Mrs. Summer she grows a little more staid in her demeanor, and her abundant table, where you are sure to get the earliest fruits and vegetables of the season, is a good foundation for steady frienship; but she has lost that delicious aroma of maidenhood, and what was deli cately rounded grace ia the girl, gives more that hiots of something like redund.-inee in the matron. Autumn is the poet of the family. He gets you up a splendor that you would say was made out of real sun set; but is nothing more than a few hec tic leaves when all is done. He is but a sen timentalist after all ; a kind ot Lauiartine, whining along the ancestral avenues he has made bare timber of, and begging a contri bution of spirits from your own savings to keep him in countenance. But winter has his delicate sensibilities, too, only he does not make them as good as indelicate by thrusting them forever in your face. He is a better poet than Autumn when he has a mind, but, like a truly great one as he is, he brings you down to your bare manhood, and bids you understand him nut of that, with no adventitious helps of association, or he will none of you. He does not too :h those melancholy chords on which Autuiua ia as great a master as Heine. Well, is there no such thing as tbrumming on them and maun dering over them till they get out of tunc, and you wish some manly hand would crash through them aud leave them dangling bro ken forever? Take Winter as yon find him, and be turns out to be a thoroughly honest fellow, with no nonse in him, and tolerating none in you, which is a great comfort in the lotigrun. He is not what they call a genial critic, but bring a real man along with you, and you will find there is a crabbed generosity about the old cynic that you would not exchauge for all tbe creamy concessions of Autumn. "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness," quoth? That's just it ; Winter soon blows your head clear of fog and makes you see things as they are ; I thank hiui for it. The truth is, between ourselves, I have a very good opinion of the whole family, who al ways welcome me without making tne feel as if I were much of a poor relation. There ought to be some kind of distance, never so littie you know, to give true relish. They are as good company, the worst of them, as any I know, and I am not a little flattered by a condescension from any one of them, but I happen to hold Winter's retainer this time, and, like an honestadvocat,am bound to make as good a showing as I can for him. even if it cost a few slurs upon tho rest of the household. Moreover, Winter is com ing, and one would like to get on the blind sides of him. J. llvsxcl Lowell. Unanswerablk Arguments. A statis tical genius declares that "more money is expended in the United States for cigars than for all the common schools in the coun try." A wag, undoubtedly a lover of the weed, seeing the statement going through the papers, gets off the following : "It has been estimated that the cost of washing linen that might just a? well be worn two days longer amounts to enough in this country to more than defray the expen ses ot the American Board of Foreign Mis sions. The expenses of buttons on the backs of our coats, where they are of no earthly use, is equal to the support of all our orphan asylums. It is estimated tbat the value of old boots thrown aside, which might have beeu worn at least a day longer, is more than enough to buy flannel night gowns for every baby in the land. Also, that the cost of every inch on tho full shirt collars of our young men is equal to the sum necessary to put a Bible in the hands of every Patagonian giant. A little fellow was beins instructed in morals by his mother. She told him that such terms as "by golly," "by jingo," "by thunder," ic., were only minced oaths,and but little better than other profanity. In fact, she said, he could tell a profane oath by the prefix "by" all such were oaths. "Well, then, mother," said the little hopeful, "there's a bis oath in the newspa pers 'By Telegra ph. " ' The lady gave it up, and the boy is be wildered on morals. Montana has five thousand bachelors who want marriageable young ladies to travel out that way. The Smartest Girl ia Michigan. While, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin, our steamer Norman lay wooding up at Poi t Oneida, on the Michigan shore, there came on board a pleasant, barefooted German girL with a pail of berries. She wore a cheap calice dress, minus the hoops, with a littie gingham shaker nearly hiding her face, and hu air ui uiouesi assurance tnat denoted a girl of genuine stamp, but that told the boys to keep out of her way. All the men about the deck seemed to know her. The steward bought her berries at her own price. The clerk at the office touched his hat to her as if in the presence of a duchess. "That's the smartest girl in Michigan," said the engineer, as she passed out of the gang way. The girl gave no heed to the admir ing glances and compliments that followed her, but straightway sought her little fish cabin, where she was mending nets, by the shore. On inquiry of the old dock man, we learned that our little barefooted maiden, though only seventeen, was tbe oldest of a family of an even dozen who lived io a little double log cabin, on the high bauk above the shore. Her father came here from Buf falo some twelve years ago, went co clearing timber, nelling wood to steamboats, and raising stuff on his land. Lanie, tbe oldest girl, was the "little captain" from the start and showed pluck beyond her years. In winter she would get on her boots and be out among the wood choppers before she could hardly waddle through the snow. In summer she would wander off berrying, or be down among the nets of fishing boats. It washer greatest delight to get on the water to rock and tons upon the waves. At ten she was a trim little sailor herself, and would coast off for miles alone. At twelve she would allow no boy to pass her with sail or oar. For the last three years Lanie has been master of a handsome fishing craft and a set ot "gill nets." She put them out early in April, and continues them till late in the fall She is out every morn ing at daylight, and again in the evening, except in the roughest of weather. She takes a younger sister along to help bet and draw the nets. She often brings in a couple hundred fine lake trout at a haul. She dresses them, fres out the oil, packs and seuds them away to' market. Her Autrst aud September catch amounted to over three hundred dollars. Besides her fishing re ceipts she has taken in over one hundred and seventy de.llars this season for berries, pick ed at odd hours by herself and sister. All her money goes to ber father, and she is said to have earned him over $3,000. Of course tho old man is proud of his giri, and tells of ber exploits with the liveliest twin kle of satisfaction. Danger and hardship seem uu known to her. She will eo out in a blow and come in with full sails. Her white mast and blue pennon is known by people far aloiy? the coast. Boats salute her in passing, boys swing their hats in proud rec ognition. Without knowing it, Lanis Bor feiu is a heroine. Le.vrn all You Can'. Never omit any opportunity to learn all you can. Sir Wal ter Scott said that even in a stage coach he always could find somebody who could tell him something he did not know before. Conversation is frequently more useful thaa books for purpose of knowledge. It is there fore, a mistake to be morose and silent among persons whom we thiuk to be ignorant, for a little sociability on your part will draw them out, and they will be able to teach you something, no matter how ordinary their employment. Indeed some of tbe most sa gacious remarks are aiade by persons of this kind, respecting their particular pur suit. Hugh Miller, the geologist, owes not a little of his fame to observations made when he was a journeyman stone mason at work in a quarry. Socrates well said there was but one good, which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ienorance. Every grain of sand goes to make up the heap. A gold digger takes the smallest nuggets, and is not fool enough to throw them away because he hopes to find a larger lump some time. So, in acquiring knowledge, wo should never despise an opportunity, however unpromis ing. -" If there is a moment's leisure, spend it over good or instructive talking with the first person you meet. It te reported ot Horace Greeley that, having had some experience with various birds just pin-featbered and helped out ot college, he "cut the combs" of the entire clas one day in conversation with a friend who wished to get a place on the Tribune for a highly educated young ufac. "What is he?" asked Horace, hanging one of the legs of his trowsers to a corner of his wri ting table. "He U very smart," replied his friend, unctiously ; "he graduated last week from college, with all the honors." Horace looked at the friend indignantly. and then brought his trowsers down and struck the table with his vigorous band. "Of all h-o-r-n-e-d cattle," he remarked, "deliver ree from a college graduate." A Sunday school teacher was giving a les son on Ruth. She wanted to bring out the kindness of Boaz in commanding the reap ers to drop larger handful of wheat. "Now, children," she said, "Boaz did another nice thing for Ruth ; can you tell me what it was?" "Married Iter!" said one of the boys.
