Tlic Vliistlcr's Tune.
Supper was over, the boy went out,
He passed thro' the yard and over the stile :
The big dog barked as he went along by,
And followed him nearly a mile.
And he sat him down on a hickory log,
And whistled a lively tune, this boy,
Which took the ear of the barking dog.
And he wagged his tail for joy!
The beetle stopped from pinching the fly,
And the toad in his hole stood still,
And the tom-tit heard with a tear in his eye,
And a fishing-worm in his bill.
And the grasshopper said, "I know that air,
But I cannot whistle it so
The tune of the man with no hair on his head,
Where h-ur always ou'lit to crow."'

I did not get my breakfast. I was
pleased to be otieuded with my coffee, be
cause it was uot well settled, and my toast
was burned, and my egr overdone, aud I
treated the whole breakfast as it deserved,
and left it go to "the receptacle of things
lost upon earth."
I did not feel lika writing. I might
have been savage enough for a criticism,
but nothing in green aud gold glittered on
my table, aud 1, therefore, read the morn
ing papers, and tried to read a mammoth
serial, in a mammoth monthly, and failed
because, perhaps, I do not belong to the
mammoth genus. And then 1 went to get
luncheon. It was twelve o'clock, and I
was vulgarly hungry. Such a hunger had
not struck'my nerves in six months. I
went info 'son 3roadway ; I prefer
waitfng a long time for a broil there, rath
er than have a cook's culinary comforts on
the instant.
I had re.id the morning paper, and had
nothing to do but look about me, and 1
made good use f my eyes. Uight op o
site me sat a lady a young iauy. fcho
drew mv eyes as loadstone draws strocl ; I
had never sten her like before, and I am
sure I shall never look upon her like
again. She had such grand eyes ; the'
burned in their blackness, and their long
lashes lay upon her check, like a broad
silken fVinjrc. Her hair was dark, and lay
rifh iii:!ss over her forehead, ami be-
said I. ''Give me
sixpence."
I got my change in a moment, and 111.1 do
two &teps to the door, knocked down the
little negr; who w is opening it, and bolted
into the street. 1 looked in every direc
tion. At a distance down JJmadway, 1
saw that shawl. The lady was in a Jersey
ferry omnibus, and I must wait lor the
next one. 1 could not catch the departed
ono. Alter a villainous length of time, I
found myself embarked in a Jersey ferry
omuibut. How those horses ciept, how
everything ran against us, and how we got
entangled in Corllatidt street, aud had to
wait an hour, as it seemed to me. 1 never
once thought that her oni'.ibus might have
been hind. red exactly in the same way.
When I got to thvi ferry, the lo.it was
just twelve inches from the shore, and
when I reached the edge of the wharf it
was about twelve feet. saw that crim
son shawl close by the cabin clout.
The next boat came in direcrlv, ami I
went on board, and walked the cabin to
hurry the steam engiue. I only hurried
and flurried myself.
When I reached the Jersey side, 1
went, as if by instinct to the Newark
depot. The holy was p.issinir oui of the
door of the ladies' room. "Caught at

The fact is, lite is undervalued by a great
majority of mankind. It is not made half
so much of as should be the case. Where
is the man or woman who accomplishes
one title of what might be done ? WTho
cii'inot look back upon opportunities lost,
plaus unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi
rations unfulfilled, and all caused by the
lack of ueeessary and possible effort! If
we knew better how to do and to make
the most of it, it would be better than it
is. Now and then a man stands aside
from the crowd, labors earnestly, stead- j
f.istly, confidently, aud straightway becomes i
fam .us for wisdom, intellect, skill, great- !
lies of some sort. The world wonders, 1
admires, idolizes, and it tn.Iy illustrates
what others may elo, if they take hedd of
life with a purpose. Uhe miracle ef pow
er that elevates the few is to be found in
their industry, application and perseve
rance, uuder the promptings of a brave,
determined spirit.

The Doctor said he would try nitrate of

a '. 'plied to similar diseases in the human
eye. The hune animal was ordered to

cf the remedy, raised a iiKst extraordina

and the animal could partially see. The
next day w hen he was brought, and heard
the Doctor's voice, be laid down of him
