nor one night in the timber, to keep out

sleeping' in the world, in the crotch of a
tree-top ! Now, I reckon you wouldn't
:believe it; but I've gone ail winter with
out a shoe to my foot; and lived on wild
game, when I could ketch it. That's. a
facto"
- "Pidret stunt your growth;" said a voice
near. •
" r lgot a it. It brought me up
right. These prairies are wonderful
roomy. -I thought one spell I,would let
mySelf out entirely, but me and mother
held a corms, and decided that she was
getting old, and blind like, and it tuk too
long, and cost - too much to sew up the
legs of my trousers, and so I put a stop to
it, and concluded that six foot five would
do for a fellow that couldn't afford the
expeniive luxury - of a wife to make
breeches for him. It was only
-love fOr
my mother that stopped my growth. If
I'd had had an idea of a sewing machine,
there's no telling, what I might a done."
"You have so many gold pieceS - in your
pocket, you..can afford to get your trou
sers made now. Why don't you and
your mother hold another caucus, and see
what you can do? If she . would let you
expand yourself, you niigh,, sell out to
Barnum, and make a fortune travelling
with Tom Thumb, and take the old wo
man along."
"Stranger;" said the rourr i li ' great man,
and his whole face loomed up with a min
gled expression of pain and pride ;

her cabin here when Vhicager was no

couldn't give them larnia'; -but she taught
us better things than books can give,: to
be honest, and useful, and industriolfs.—
She taught us to be faithful and true; to
stand by a friend, 'and be generous to an.
enemy. It's thirty years, stranger, since
' we dug her grave by the lake side with
our own hands; and with many a tear
and sob turned ourselves away from the
cabin where we imd been raised—the In
dians hid killed our father long before,
and we'd nothing to keep us—arid so we
went to 'seek our fortunes. My brother.,
he took, doWn to St. Louis, and got mar

!where

scraped money . enough, together, I came

"Now, gentlemen, 'taint often I'm led
to tell on myself, after this fashion.' But
these old places, where I-trapped when I
was a' boy, made me feel like a child Agin
—and I just feel like tellin' these young=
sters here aboUt the'chaites and chances
a feller may meet in life, if he only tries
to make the most of himself. •
"But, boys," said he, turning. to a par
ty of young men, "there's something bet
ter than money. Get eduCation.

I could be President in . 1„87 just e-a-s-y,

a goatee and breeches that's a man, by a

er de a thing that will make you ashamed
to meet her in Heaven. Why, boys,"
never done a bad thing but I heard my
mother's voice reprovin' me; and I never
done a
,good thing ancl made a good move,
but I've seemed to hear her say, 'that's
right, Jack,' and that has been the - best
of all. Nothin' like a mother, boys—
nothin' like a inother."
$ll this had passed while waiting to
wood, just. out of
.Chicago. The great
man-was swelling with emotions , called up
from the dark• shadows of the past; his
big rough frame heaved like a great bil
loW upon the ocean: Tears sprung to his
deep set and earnest eyes— , -they welled
up to, the brim—and swain round asking
to be let fall as tributes to his mother's
memory—tributes to the love of the past.
But he choked them down, and humming
a snatch of an old ballad, he thrust his
hands down into his pockets, walked back
to the end of the car,.pulled the gigantic
collar of hiS shaggy coat up around his
ears, buttoned it clos4 and leaned back
.I , ;ainst the window in silence.
The cars, rattled on. What a mind
was there; what a giant intellect, sleeping,
buried away from light and usefulness by
a rubbish of prejudice; habit, and custom
—doing but half Work for want of cul
ture. .
"A mute ingloriou.4Milton," or rather
Webster, going about the world,,strug
gling with - his 'own soul, yet bdund .by
chains of ignorance, whieltprechided his
doing but a moiety of the good:it lay in
his' power to do:
All the way through our long, tedious
journey, he had been ever on the watch
to do good. • He gave up his seat by the
fire to an Irish woman and her child, and
tools one farther, back; soon a young girl
seated herself by
,his side ;. as the night
hours wore on,• and she nodded wearily,
he rose, spread-his beautiful leopard skin
,with its soft, rich lining, on the seat, made
a pillow of his:carpet-bag, and insisted
that she should lie down and sleep .
"What will you cloy said she, naively.
"Neier mind me--I can stand np and
sleep, like a buffalo; T' 4 3t used to it.".
A little boy, pulled up from a sound
nap to - give place to tneomers; Was paci
fied and - made quiet ba handful of chest
nuts and a gloiing it of-candy out of
t
the'big man's pocket.' When he left the
ears for refreshment lie . -brought - back his
hand full of-pies; and distributed Ahem,
among a weal.) , group. . A xnother and
seven little'children, - the eldest ndt twelve
years old, whose. husband and father left ,
the ears at every stopoing-place,i and re
turned more stupid and baastlY each titne
seoldin,g the little , . tirel restless Ones with
thick - tongue, and glaring his furious red
eyes upon - the poor -:grieved victim ,of
wife; liEe a tiger upon its Orey,,ybecau:se
she did ' - not - 15.eep her young' -ones
siill.l • they 'diaturb everybody."
No bite Or iefres'hutent, no ex i bilirating
draught, no lest - from that fit,' Brass baby,
. 31 M 1 4 //9 /8
.
'came to her All_ the long night, save when
the pig man stretched out
.his,greatiands
and took her baby boy for' an hour; and
let,,hini play with his . `E . splendid watch
to fteep . .him qide;t. -
."I'll give ye a thousand dollars for him,"
said he, as he.• handed him back to her
arms.
"You may haVe the whole lot for that,"
answered the drunken father, with a swine-
Tike grunt. •
."It's a bargain," said the big man r "Pro ,
vidin' the mother's willin'." -
3
"Indide, sir, it's not the one of them
cani , e 'had for money," was tho quiet yet
detennined i responso of the mother's heart.
How kiirdly he helped her,off the cars
when at the break of dairy, they came to
their journey's end. I . '
Thits all night had he'been attracting
the attention of the waking ones in the
cars.: But his kindness and rough polite
ness would soon have been forgotten by
mass of the passengers, had he not
stamped it upon our memories with - his
g01d. .1
. - 4
"I wonder who he is P' _
"Nthere did he get in
"What an interesting Character."
"FAlneation would . spoil him."
"What rich furs
"Did you notice what a splendid watch
he caries ?"
"11 . p's some great man incog." , •
Stieh were a few of the queries that
passed from lip to lip. But there came
no answer; for he who alone could have
answered sat crouched in his fur coat,
seeming unconscious of all but his Own
deep ihoughts."
"Chicago !" shouted the brakeman, and
in an instant all was cconfasion, and our
hero was lost in the y crowd. The next we
saw of him Was at the baggage stand,
looking up a band-box for a sweet-looking
country girl who was gding to learn the
milliner's trade in the city. "As we pas's
edto our carriage we dicovered him again,
holding an old manly the hand,: while he
graspe l d the shoulder of the conductor of
anotheir train with the other, getting for
the delif, gray-haired sire", the right infor
matimi - as to the route he should take to
get to' is . "darter who lived: near lquca:
tine Iciwa." - - • •
,
- "God bless him for his . good deeds?"
was our earnest asperation; as we whirled
round the corner. May his shadow - nev
er growless ; nor the gold in his 'pocket
diminish; for in his unnumberedreharitiqs
and mercies dropped so unostentatiously
here and there, lie is, Verhapi; doing
more good-in his day and generation, than
he who donates • .his _ thousands to build
Charitable intitutions, to giVe honor to his
own name.
Oh, how much the world needs great
