TAIS,CI3OI.O.IV"It. "THAT'S THE PLACE !" There was a queer old gentleman at tim Academy on examination day. The trustees seemed to think a great deal of him, and treated him with much respect; but the boys felt rather uneasy, and his sharp, gray eyes looked searchingly at each one of them, and they saw that he was listening carefully to their answers. 'I do wonder who s that old chap is ex claimed Charley Vane, after the exercises were over, and they were preparing to go home. declare, he frightened me so, I don't think i could have told the points of the compass, if he had asked me!' Harry Brown laughed. Ile did not look frighten. ed; he had done his part well that day, and many admiring glances had rested on the boy who was called 'the best scholar.' The strange old gentleman was standing with one ol the school officers, in the play• ground, as Harry passed' out with several other boys. 'Harry,' said Mr. Raymond, stopping him, 'I think Out gentleman has lift his cane in the ball up stairs, will you look for it!' 'Certainly:sir, and Harry, went quickly up to the school room agaip, and, returning with the cane, presented it to the gentleman, with a polite bow. ‘That's a fine boy,' remarked Mr.--Ray mond, as Harry 'passed on toward the gate; 'he is oneuf the boys we are proud ot.' The old gentleman was following Harry close ly with those stern gray eyes. Just as the boys reached the gate,a young girl from the female department of the school was going out, aull,in trying to open it, dropped one •of her - books. The .other boys paid no attention; But Harry stepped forward; held open the gate, and picked up the beolr,'handing it to her with a , pleasant remark. At that moment a carriage, con. taining several ladies, drove up. As they looked at Harry, be recognized them, and raised.his.eap.from his head, with a grace ful bow. • The old gentleman saw it all; •but when Mr. Raymond said, in a pleasent way, 'How few boys hive such good Manneti-IL he only replied: 'lt is all verywell; but let me see that buy ,nt hoisie; that's' the place Lot me see him witli.l4 mother ' , and. sisters, and then ILcao , judee of his, geed manners. If you Want to ;know 'a_ hey's true character; see . - him in hie — home; that's the platter - The old gentleman brought down his cane . with emphasis at iliese woidii and -Mr.' Ray- Mond seemed rather 'disappointed that ho did not{ appreciate more ther:'model boy' of their.school. . • • • - But I thick •thw pld , gentlenio tight wheii ,he Said„ , • 'that's the. place?. -timpo l ie we look into •Hairy Brown's home,• 'and• sec how_he appeared there that same evening,, .

He said, "here, take it !" when sllen did not see that he was holding - the - butterTiate - towarda - her. 44 a:. •4 :1 a: • i • and the "please," which are such necessary parts of politeness at all times. Then, when Harry went to bed, he did not think it worth while to say good-night— though he had been very careful to say a po. lite 'good af ternoou' before leaving school that day. In truth, Il.arty'e good manners were kept for those outside of his own home. • And that strange old gentleman knew how many boys had his fault. So, in a few years, when he wanted a bookkeeper for his count ing house, from amoog the graduates at the Academy, he would not select one until he had visited several at their homes and be -come acquainted -with their - Manners there: Then, to the surprise of all the school, he did not choose Harry Brown. 'For,' said he, don't want any boy about me that can't be polite to his-mother and sister.' Boys bow many of you are like Harry?-- Some of you are, 1 know. Then bear in mind the words of the strange old gentle, man : 'Lot me see that boy at home ; that's the place! D 9 not think that home is a place where you can throw off all politeness, and be as careless and rough as you please. If there is a place on earth where you should wear good manners and be polite and kind, that's the place I' If there should be persons to whom you should give your moat polite words and kind attentions, those persons are' your fathers, mother and sister. Will you give more attention and respect to those out.', side,-than to the clear cares at home ?, Will you be praised for good manners by Aran-. gers, and Cause those at home to call you 'rude end thoughtless ? It will make your homes much more happy and pleasant, it yuu wear your best manners always there. Do not be ashamed to be polite at home, that is the best &doe in all the world to you; that is the place where, your best friends are , that is the place where your true character will appear; therefore, remember to cultivate politeness at home,. ENCOURAGE THE YOUNG.- John . Ruskin has said, if a young man deserve praise, be sure you give it him, else you •do tot only run a chance of driving him from the right road by want of eneourageinent, but you do prive yourself of the happiest privilege ybu will ever have of rewarding his labor. For it is only the young who can receive much reward from men's praise; the old, when they are great, get too far beyolut sad above you to mite 'what you think of -thorn. Yon may urge them with sympathy, and surround them with sechuncior4 but they will doubt your pleasure and liespise.your. praise You might ; have cheered, them in their race through the_ asphodel meadows of 'th'eir youth you,might -have brought' the•proud, bright s'ca'rlet to their facies, if you had but cried once, "Well done" as tbay• dashed up to the first goal of tbeir early ambition. But now their pleasure is in memory, and their ambition is in Heaven. They can be kind to you; you can never more be ' kind to them.

The only two churches -in . the place, both less than a year old, wer br o ken into thousands of pieces and scatter ed over the prairie for a long distance. A correspondent of tbt Chicago Republi can thug itesalbes-the-seeno---at-one-ef-th: houses of worship : ‘SerVides cotnmenced in the Second Ad. vent Church (a neW building completed last fall) at four o'clock id _the afternoon.

The pastor of the church, Rev. W. Hurd, ascended the sacred pulpit and commenced his discourse, which was not its. terrupted until it was-nearly=through,---When the evidences of the cothi , - d' and then a noise was 'eard in the distance as of the roaring of a mighty cataract.

The minister answered, 'Never mind the storm; there is a day corn. ing whoa them -will - be—a-- - storm - compared through soon.' _ Just then the hail and Wind commenced breaking in the window lights, and in al , most no-instant the windows of the church, sash and all, were torn out. The only per• sons who succeeded in getting out were Ckeo. Vern and Harrison Winer, whciWete instant. ly killed. The building reeled like a drunk en man, but none could make their way, out. Wives clung to their husbands, children to their parents, brothers and sisters to each other, and despair was depicted upon every countenance. Suddenly the crash tame, and with a deafening sound, mingled with • the shrieks of the pent-up people, timbers; scant ling-and all-came down-with-a suiden-orash upon the devoted beads of the-congregation —men, women and children. Some bad skulls broken, others arms, others received internal injuries from which they can never recover. There are several who did not re ceive a scratch, but nearly all were more or less injured. Services were to have been held at the same hour in the Methodist church, but owing to the non arrival of the minister, the services were postponed. This church was also entirely' demolished.' The tornado extended to lowa, and occa sioned great loss of property in the vicinity. of Muscatine. Hints to Farmers A writer gives the followiug advice which we fully endorme: Don't buy a piano for•your daughter while your sons need a plow. Don't:let - your horse be seen standingat the tavern door. It don't look right. Don't give the merchant a chance to dun you. ' Prompt payment mikes independent men. Kecp good fences; they promote good feel• ings between neighbors. Decent' and substanii6l clothing for your children makes •them think better of them selves, and keeps tbs dco,or Assay. 1 , Don't starve your land if you do you will grow lean.' Don't buy patent rights to sell again Don't become surety !or him who waits for the Sheriff. Buy a tamp wagon before — a fine carri age. If you have a yoke of oxen, don't be ashamed of them, and give your note for a span of horses. Keep your sons sway from horse - races; they are the highway to ruin. Don't ruo for'eonstable;'yOu may get it; and let the plow stand. Teach your boys to lookup'and foistard and never down and, backwards. Don't leave to guaranty what should be written; it wakes lawsuits. • , XOUTHFUL INFLUENCE.—men are ,acous towed to look, upon the excesseikof youth-as something that aeloogsto that time .; .3tep, .say dint of course tho young, like colts un bridled, will disport. therosves.,, I here is no harm in colts diSporting themselves,; but a colt never gets drunk: Ido not object to, any amount of gaiety or. vivacity ,that lies within 'bounds of reason or or ,of health, but I do °Nw e and ,abhor, as worthy tv b 9 hqg rnatized,uoishonorahln and unmanly, every such course in p?utlituvialies . away strength, vigor aad,purity fron(ol4 age.. ,I, do not be !lave any wan slanaldialte the i..au4o of his' 014 age sine light,it.by the vices , of.his youth.
