A STORY FOR BOYS.
"W
ELL, now, who do you regard
br the gentleman par excel-
fence of the party V" asked our Cousin
Bob, the morning after his sister's grand
wedding.
" Oh, your friend, the Professor!"
44 The Professor, by all odds I" cried
several voices.
Then the boys decanted on the Pro
lessor's broad shoulders, his fine bearing
and his deep voice, and the girls cried ;
" Oh, what lovely light hair I" "Oh,
what blue eyes 1" " Such courteous
manners 1" "He must be an exiled
count or a"
" Draw your chairs around me, and I
will tell you his story," said Bob, who
had been through college, and had spent
two years abroad In study, and of course
was now Sir Oracle to a wide-spread
family of cousins.
" But can you believe his story, Bob ?
There are so many bogus counts abroad,
and papa has such a terror of fortune
hunters 1" cried handsome Cousin
Blanche.
" Papa's quite safe In this case, for the
Professor has a lovely wife, and a little
boy who talks as fast as any of you."
44 Oh h, phoo I" cried Blanche, with
an air of of disappointment. Her sla
ter's dearest school-friend, May Curtis,
had been abroad, and. married a man
whose only claims to consideration were
Immense whlskeis and a title. Her
father had to support them both ; but
May had a coronet on her card ; and
perhaps that atoned for all the rest.
" Our pretty cousin wanted a coronet
On her card, and had set her eye on the
Professor the night before. She saw a
coronet in his physique and manners.
But she was only seventeen then, and
not as wise as she became afterward."
44 Come,come 1 the story, Bob," shout
ed one of boys.
" Well, the Professor is one of those
rare, grand fellows who never boast of
ancestry. The meanest scamps I know
are boasters of that kind making capi
tal of the greatness or meanness of their
ancestors. If our fathers were good and
noble, the honor was their own j If low,
and mean and ignorant, we should keep
still, and shield their memory from con
tempt, and not try to show how high we
have risen against all the obstacles of
birth and education."
"Come, Rob, you are preaching a
sermon Instead of telling a story," cried
one of the boys.
" Well, when I entered college, I was
a real 1 mother's boy,' and the world
seemed so big that I felt lost in it. I
confess I was homesick. This elegant
man read my secret at a glance, and
hid it and sheltered it in his great big
heart.
" I felt then as you did last night as
if I had caught ' a live nobleman," and
I was a safe and happy fellow ever after
that. Such was my admiration of him
that I did not see how plainly he
dressed, but tried to imitate him in every
way. I parted my hair like his do you
see ? I used my knife and fork as he
did ; and I am happy to say I kept my
room neat and my boots well blacked be
cause he did," said Rob. .
"He was a religions man and a gentle
man. Religion always improves a man's
manners. Even old Somen, careless
and rough as he is now, was ten times
so before he"
"Preaching again, Rob I" shouted
Cousin Joe.
Then we all laughed, and one rogue
cried, "Stick to your text, brother I"
" You're right 1" laughed Rob. " I'll
try not to get off my subject again.
" The professor was, as be tells me, the
on of a small farmer, near the banks of
the Rhine. The family was large, and
great economy were required to keep upa
a respectable appearance. They might
eat black bread and barley, wear wooden
soled shoes and homespun garments, if
necessary, but they must have educa
tion. " The mother and elder sisters knit,
every spare moment, and the count, as
Blanche calls him, would skate to town
in winter, and walk in summer, to sell
their work.
" The money be brought home was all
put into an iron box, with a pad-lock,
the key of which always slumbered in
the vest pocket of good Fader Gautze,'
and was called by him 4 schulc gel?
school money.
" My friend went at length to the uni
versity in Gottingen. The knitting and
the selling still went on, and be bad the
proceeds about one-fifth of what a col
lege boy would regard here to keep up
even decent style.
" lie bad both smoked and drank
lager beer at home, as was the common
custom there; but now that he was
earning nothing, and spending what he
regarded as a great deal of money, be
woke up to the meanness of puffing and
drinking any of the money for which
bis mother and platers were working
many a weary hour.
" When be got through the unlverL
ty, he cast his eyes this way, sure he
could make a living and a name iu
America, and to will.
" But Rome wasn't built in a day,
and neither is any man's fortune.
Hans Christian Gautze landed at Castle
Garden, New York, with good stout
shoes, a heavy suit of clothes, a great
canvass bag, and a staff to hang it
on.
" He followed hlB fellow-passengers to
the 'Dcutchcn Jaus' nearby,and after a
good night's restand hearty breakfast,he
sought out a German clergyman, told
him his story, and that he wanted a po
sition as a teacher.
" The good man's sensible advice was,
Push off Into the country, and take
the very first work you can get, till you
can do better.'
" He took the advice, and soon found
shelter, and plenty of bard work with
out wages, with an old farmer, seven
miles from our college a man who
could always make work for those who
would do It without pay.
"My friend's work was picking huckle
berries don't look as if you wanted
to correct me, and say, ' whortleber
ries,' Joe. One is as proper as the
other.
" Poor Hans bent his great back over
the low bushes hour after hour, till it
was ready to break ; and . yet, at sun
down, the smart little Yankee urchins
beside him had twice as many berries to
carry home as he.
"After two or three days' efforts, the
small berries constantly slipping through
his great fingers, he said to the farmer,
in the poor English be bad picked up at
home and on the sea
" ' You glveB me hard work, I works
hard; but berry is too leetle and runs
'way from me I"
" ' Oh, never mind that; you'll soon
lam to hold 'em,' replied Farmer Duff.
' Small berries make big dollars, Hans.'
" The farmer ' soon learned that his
new hand would never make a skill
ful berry-picker; so he sent him out
with two bucketsful of the fruit to the
large town seven miles off, to peddle
them out.
"Before this time, Hans bad found
that his Hebrew Bible and lexicon, bis
Greek Testament, and the few other
books he owned, had been stolen 'from
his canvass bag in the New York boarding-house;
and be felt as if his only
friends and companions were gone from
him forever.
" The farmer's wife pitied him, and
said :
" ' Never mind. When you go ped
dling your berries, you can call at Prof.
Barclay's and borrow some books.
They read all their books iu Greek and
Hebrew, and they're real good and
kind."
" Hans understand enough of this to
make him happy. So, after selling
nearly all bis load on the way, be
brought up, red and hot, at the back
door of Prof. Barclay's bouse about
noon.
"There stood a pretty, delicate lady
over the hot stove, with a baby in her
arms, and a little fellow pulling at her
skirts and fretting for his dinner.
" 4 You wants some boggleberrles ?"
asked be, with a beaming face.
" Indeed I do I" cried the lady. "My
kltchen-glrl left me suddenly, because
the nurse was sick up stairs. I have
two gentlemen coming to dinner, and
have no dessert."
" When Hans had measured out the
lust of the berries, be said :
" You gets de dinner, and I takes the
babies for see flowers and birds, in my
big arms. I lives mlt Mr. Duff. She
say you let me read Hebrew, Greek and
other books, and lend me.'
"The lady looked at him in amaze
ment, and then addressed bim in Ger
man, to bis great delight, although her
German may not have been much bet
ter than his English.
" When he held out bis arms, both
children went to him. He took them
out, and after a long walk, came back
with both of them asleep, and one on
each shoulder.
" This gave the lady time to serve her
guests in peace.
" With the family were at dinner,
Hans was left in the kitchen to wait
for the Professor and the promised
books.
" What was Mrs. Barclay's amaze
ment, on her return, to find this great,
elegant creature, with a servant's apron
on, down on his knees, scrubbing the
kitchen floor ! Not that it didn't need,
it, but because voluntary labor is so rare
anywhere, and from this fine fellow was
so un looked for.
"At first, Professor Barclay, ' hadn't
a doubt but Hans was an adventurer, or
a humbug of gome sort.'
" But after he had talked with bim
be changed bis mind, and was charmed
with bis manners, bis modesty and bis
scholarship.
"'Are you to remain with Mr
DuffV" he asked.
" 4 Only while I gets no t'lngs better
as pick berry. He bus all men's for big
man's works, and I but does baby's
work. Miue back Is so high, and mine
fingers so big, I not made for pick small
berry. Mine buck pains much, and de
berry fall through mine fingers to de
grass, and be lost, and It is long times to
And bim. I will come here and wash
floor and dish, and sweep and pump,and
other hard ones, while lady sit down
and rest and hold baby. When bard
work done, I will take two babies for
walk, and do all thing for you, and
when all doue, will read and study your
books."
44 The Professor drove over to Farm
er Duffs to Inquire about Hans, next
day.
'La,' cried good Mrs. Duff, 4 he
ain't no more sarvls plckln' than our
old tabby would be ; but we won't see
him starve till he gets a place, he is so
handsome!'
" When Hans got Into the Profes
sor's chaise, with his canvass bag, be
felt that he was en route for paradise.
44 Mrs. Barclay was charmed by the
way he did everything he attempted,
and at the close of the week she oflered
him a nice gray suit which a very
large brother had given ber for some
needy person.
44 The blood mounted to his very
hair.
44 4 No, no, madam I" he cried. 44 1
am none sick, none fool ! Mine coat
none hole, mine clothes all strong.
When I works for money, I will buy,
but give you to sick man, or man not
proud, not myself ! No!"
" Well, be helped Mrs. Barclay till
she got a cook, and till the child's
maid recovered.
41 Then the Professor, charmed with
bis knowledge of Greek and Latin,
asked to have bim appointed as a helper
In his own work, which was then very
arduous.
44 In two months he was appointed
his assistant', and has kept the place sev
eral years. Last winter Prof. Barclay
went to Florida for a throat trouble,and
Guutze filled his place to the satisfac
tion of the faculty.
Four years ago be married Mary, as
sweet a woman as ever lived the Pro
fessor's sister."
44 Did she know be once scrubbed the
floor ?" asked Blanche, opening wide
ber fine eyes.
44 She knew that ho refused to wear
caBt-off garments, and to eat the bread
of charity, and is pioud of him, and
has helped him to economize till he
made good the school-money in the box
at home.
44 Here is an example for those of
you, boys, who are -looking forward to
college life. If you parents can put you
through easily, sweep the balls, ring
the bell, correct proof for printers
anything but sit down and let sewing
societies or private charity feed and
clothe you like overgrown babies !
44 The noblest fellow in my class did
all this, and the meanest one dressed
like a tailor's fashion-plate, filled the
halls with perfume when be entered,
took young ladles to concerts, and gave
them bouquets, from the funds of two
toiling sisters and a charitable society.
44 A student too feeble to work out
side of study hours may accept aid, and
be 'a man for a' that,' but a great,
hearty, mean-spirited fellow will never
be a man ; and"
44 Here, preaching again, Bob!" cried
Joe, and the boys all ran off for a game
of ball on the lawn.
Didn't Soare Worth a Cent.
fTTHE old man Bendlgo keeps a pretty
JL sharp eye on his daughter Mary,
and many a would-be lover bas taken a
walk after a few minutes' conversation
with the bard-hearted parent.
The chap is struck this time,however,
and cards are out for the wedding. After
the lucky young man had been spark.
ing Mary for six months, the old gentle
man walked in as usual, requested a
private confab, and led off with :
44 You seem like a nice young man,
and perhaps you are in love with
Mary Y"
44 Yes, sir, I am," was the honest
reply.
44 Haven't said anything to her yet,
have you ?"
44 Well, no ; but I think she recipro
cates my affections."
44 Does, eh V"
44 Yes.Blr."
44 Well, let me tell you something.
Her mother died a lunatic, and there's
no doubt that Mary has inherited her
insanity."
44 1 am willing to take the chances,"
replied the lover.
44 Yes, but you see, Mary has a terri
ble temper. She has twice drawn u
knife on me with intent to commit
murder."
44 I'm used to that got a sister just
.like ber," was the answer.
44 And you know that I have sworn a
solemn oath not to give Mary a cent
of my property," continued the old gen
tleman.
44 Well, I'd rather start in poor and
build up. There is more romance in
it.'i
The old man bad one more shot in
bis carbine, and be said :
44 Perhaps I ought to tell yon that
Mary's. mother ran away frprn home
with a butcher, and that all ber rein-,
tlons died in the poor house. Thee
things might be thrown up in after
years, and now I warn you."
44 Mr. Bendlgo," replied the lover, 41 1
have heard ot all this before, and also
that you were on trial for forgery, had
to jump Chicago for bigamy, and served
a year in the state prlsou for cattle steal
ing. I'm going to marry Into your fam
ily to give you a decent reputation.
There no thanks good-bye."
Mr. Bendlgo looked after the young
man, with his mouth wide open, and
when he could get bis jaws together he
said :
44 Some hyena has gone and given me
away on my dodge, and the young chap
don't scare worth a cent!"
He Was Planting Red Pepper.
The Noah's Ark Baptist Church (col
ored) of LouUvllle, tried one of its mem
bers for profanity the other day. Next
to the pastor, he was the most promi
nent man In the church.
One brother testified that, as he was
gwine to his work Monday mornin' be
heerd a mouty racket, he did, down to

Other witnesses gave in similar testu

A Disgusted Thief.
A gentleman is stopped on the street
at midnight by a thief. Drawing a pis
tol from his pocket he compels the man
to walk quietly before him to the sta- .
tlon. Arriving there be tells the chief
what has occurred.
44 Very well," replies the officer,
44 but have you permission to carry
arms?"
44 No, sir."
44 In that case I must put you under
arrest."
44 But without the arm which I hap
pened to have I would probably have
been assassinated."
44 That is possible; but the police or
dinance still exists' and it is necessary
that it be obeyed."
44 Is it allowable to carry arms which
are not deadly "
44 Certainly."
44 Then look at my pistol. It has no
hammer. To oblige a friend I was go
ing to take it to a gun-shop to have it
repaired."
44 Oh, if I had only known," cried
the thief.
The Difference Between Can and Will.
This is the way in which a Louisville
girl disposes of a young man, according
to the 44 Courier-Journal" : 44 You have
asked me pointedly if I can marry you,
and I have answered you pointedly that
I can. I can marry a man who makes
love to a different girl every month. I
can marry a man whose main occupa
tion seems to be join in gauntlet in front
of churches and theatres and comment
audibly on the people who are compelled
to pass through it. I can marry a man
whose only means of support is an aged
father. I can marry a man who boasts
that any girl can be won with the help
of a good tailor and an expert tongue.
I can marry such a man, but I w-o-n-t."
tW The report of an outrage comes
from the little village of Charleinont,
Mass., that ia disgraceful in tbe exreme.
J. W. Cole is tbe village pastor ia tbe
Methodist church. Ilia wife baa been in
delicate health for years, bordering on in
aauity, and recently returned home, par
tially cured, from a hospital for the insane.
A short time after ber return cries for help
were beard from the parsonage. Villagers
looking into a window saw tbe reverend
gentleman standing over bis wife and rain
ing blow after blow upon her half-clad
shoulders with a stout horsewhip. The
indignant neighbors entered tbe bouse and
the weak and trembling woman was kneel- j
ing in the centre of the room, iu a suppli- '
eating half dazed attitude, sobbing aa t
though her heart would break. She was
removed to a neighboring room by several 1
ladies who bad arrived upon the spot, and
an examination of her person showed her
back to be covered with a perfect net-work
of purple welts, which were rapidly swell
ing aud becoming exceedingly painful.
Cole said be didn't think he was striking
so bard. The remaiuder of Lis days should
be spent in the peniteutiary, where be
eould pound stone.
