"If you have done the best you can, you have no cause to be ashamed." That night Sammy brought home his writing-book, and in the evening his father examined it. "You_have seen my books at the officer said Mr. Harden ' after look ing at the page _ which had discouraged Sammy so much. it'Yes, father, I hate seen them Several times, and I heard Mr. , Lathrop say that you were . a capital penman." . 1 Would you not like to write as well ?"

" I have no doubt you can; but yeti must learn not to despise small beginnings. I once read of a man who was aceidentally left alone on the 'top Of a very high chim ney, without ladder, or scaffold, or rope to . 'help him to , get down, and he- got - down at last by the aid of ;alne worsted thierid.'! " How could he do that ? He could'nOt let himself down by the worsted thread." " Certainly not." „ , Pleaiiitelfine the storypfather. trei¢ came the man there ?" . " There are some very lofty chimneys i n the manufacturing towns of England and Scotland. There is one - in G-lasgow over four hundred and thirty feet high, and be tween thirty and forty feet- diameter atthe base. This man, with some. other work men, was employed in building'one of these lofty chimneys. When it was finished, 'the other men got down and took away the scaffold, leaving.this man alone on the top." " Why did he not get down with the other workmen before the scaffold was ta ken away ?" " He remained to see that all was right, intending to let himself down by a rope-at tached to an iron prepared forthis purpose. When •everything was completed, and he was ready to descend, be" discovered that the rope had not been left with him. "' The rope 1 the rope 1'" he shouted in a voice of terror. " Those 'below looked around, and saw to their dismay-that the rope lay coiled on the ground beside them.: They had taken down the scaffold, and forgotten to carry up the rope. It was - a sight which struckterror into every heart, kir' the chimney-'was . SO high that the rope could not be thrown up. " The, poor man was now in great trouble. It made his head swim to think how far he was standing from the ground, and no way to get down. He had a wife and a little boy whom, he dearly loved. In that-dread ful heir he-thought,-hew--,_soon would - be and - his bOy fatherless. " The little boy was stmong those who stood gazing at him- from- below.., He:had come to see the great chimney finished, and return home-with - la fatter'after' -the work was done. He now ran home to his moth er as fast as he could: !CI, mother,' he cried,' he can't get' - down' 'Who can't get 'deft 7' 6 Thither ; they have taken. down the scaffold, arid : forgot,* leave the rope!' 'The poor woman uttered one cry of dismay, and then with her boy ran to the spot as fast as she could. " A crowd had collected,, but not one.of them, could think of any way to help the poor man to get down. He is lasing his senses, and will soon throw himself down,' said one. His wife, called to him to hold on, and keep up his courage. She then di rected him to. take off his stocking, ravel out-a part. f it, attach a piece of mortar,to the end to make it heavy, and then lerit down.. After giving these directions to her husband, she sent her boy to one of the men to ask for a ball of - twine. " The man obeyed lie mife's klirentions,- and soon they saw the fine thread coming down, driven hither and thither 'by the wind. As soon as it, came- within reach, the , wife seized it and fastened it on to the end of the ball of twine. Then she ealled= to her husband to, draw it up very carefully:" This he did until he , held the end of -the twine in his hand. The twine was then cut off from the ball, and fastened to -the -tope itself, and then the man drew up the twine until he, held firmly in-his hand the precious rope which would rescue him from his dreadful peril. The rope was secured to the iron, and •soon the man was on the ground by.the side of his wife and boy." " it is a capital story, papa," said Sammy. " What a nice way it was to get him down. ' "It was a very ingenious contrivance, It shows the valuirof presence of mind and calm thought in the hour of danger. But this is not the moral I intend to draw front it to-night.

Whrthe Thorns and SHOO Game, Kate and her brother Tom were spend ing the hot weeks of the Suminer at Uncle John's, in the country, where, theYthonght, it was always , nice and • cool. There was plenty of green grass, too, to run about on, and, big trees to shade them frOM the min. Then, sometimes, they could go to -the woods, and play by the little -stream;- and this Summer they had thepromise of g&ng blackberrying. ".Blackberries are ripe," said -Uncle John, one evening, as _they all sat on the porch. g 4 I. walked down .to the - back lot, this afternoon, and saw plenty." -" Then we will go. and gather them to 7 morrow, if it is, pleasant," said Aunt Ellen. To-Morrotv came, very bright aid 'clear.; so as soon as the dew was dried off the grass, Aunt Ellen and the children ltarted for the " back lot." It was just a' pleasant walk down a shady lane,nhd before long they found themselves among the bushes, which looked; sc-,,pretty with the dark berries shining among- the green leaVes. Soon all were busy piekinge—Atmt Ellen very quietly,Kate and Tom running from bush to bush, to see whbre theY,were most plenty. But presently Aunt Ellen. heard a sad little =voice saying, " Aunty'', the briers 'will stick me so, and do seelovr my' frock is torn." Aunt - Ellen pitied poor Kate; so she showedler how .to pick from =the> outside of the bushes,•and how.to take hold softly; so that she would :not hurt.- Einding she' did better, :Kate dried her tears,. but still ,thought blackberry bushes very cruel things.
