" Mistake���no ; I am not in the habit of making mistakes, sir." " Not your mistake���my uncle's. He put your letter into an envelope addressed to mo, and mine iuto one addressed to vou." " Ho could'nt do better than address himself tonic," commented the lawyer, drawing up his stilf backbone. " Did a letter intended for me como to your address'; Ifso.it was sent, to you hy mistake���by mistake," roared Moore. (" Deaf old idiot I" This in a much lower lone.) "Deaf! I'm not deaf. Who said I was deaf?" rapped out Mr. Pouncemore glaring at his visitor.���" Jackson! Jackson 1" he called out. The head-clerk answered his chief's summons with suspicious celerity. It Wft3 indeed his habit to listen at lhe door of Mr. I'oiinceiiiore's sanctum, that he might be at hand to put matters straight when complications arose between client anil adviser, besides, Mr. Jackson derived a good deal of malicious amusement from listening to tho game of cross-questions and crooked answers whicli was so frequently played in Mr. Pouncemore's private room. This gentleman has conic to complain of somo mistake about a. letter he wrote to me," said the lawyer with dignity. " This morning I received a letter written hy my uncle, Mr. Tredinnick, to Mr. Pouncemore- a letter which wa3 unfortunately put into the wrong envelope," explained Moore impatiently. (Here ho held was in his breast-pocket; he was making a sort of compromise with himself; he would not destroy the letter, nor would he send it on to its rightful destination. Ho wonld consider the matter further during the day. A City omnibus passed him, and as the morning was line, there were more outside than inside passengers. Jack hailed it, jumped in, and then suddenly a sort of electric shock went through him, which opened and read it, for, as you seo, it was addressed to me." The clerk took the letter. " I understand. I will explain tlie matter to Mr Pouncemore." Jackson, long accustomed to suit his voice to his employer's tympanum, managed to convey to him why Mi-, Trodinniok's nephew had called, " Yes���yes ; I understand," Mr. Pounce. caused him momentarily to forget all about, more said, brightening, " Mr. Tredinnick his uncle, the misdirected letter, and his I has made a mistake���a mistake excusable own alternate battlings against and parleys j at his age ; but," he added, staring at Jack with temptation.

Now, on the very day alettcr intended for you reached me,���I think I am right���am I not Jackson ?��� in saying that no misdirected letter camo to the ollice this morning '<" he added, turning to the head-clerk.

Ho jKnake- He was determined to show this tell as if the steady, candid gaze of Mirah bad-tempered young man what ha thought Lester's gray eves penetrated through thoI ��' his ungrateful conduct towards his cloth of his coat to the letter in his breast- j " pocket. Thc touch of her litlle gloved hand seemed to posses some magic power, to make him seo things in their true light and rightly to estimate his own mental attitude. sight of his uncle's altered face and the unconscious pathos of the drooping figure seatedjby the lonely fireside, unmanned him. " Jack I" The old man rose, tottered towards him, and fell on his neck with a sobbing cry of: "Jack, my boy, forgive mc. I was too hard. Oh, my dear, dear hoy, thank Cod that Ho has brought you back to me at last I" . ... When Mr. Tredinnick could command his voice, he told how he had mado the error which had led to their reconciliation, On the day when he wrote his letter of instruction to Mr. Pouncemore, he addressed an envelope to Jack, meaning to enclose the quarterly cheque; but after doing so, he found that his cheque-book was empty, and the directed envelope had been left in his blottiug-book. In the hurry of the moment he had thrust the letter to the lawyer into the cover addressed to Jack, leaving, as ho afterwards discovered,, that directed to Mr. Pouncemore in the blotting-book. " And now 1 must give old Jack Pounce more a new set of instructions," he finisned with a smile that beautified his harsh features and shone liko winter sunshine in his faded eyes, "But tl.o sight of you has put new lifo into me, my hoy, and I don't think youl'l havo to pay your succession duty just yet.���Oh, there's a ring at tho hell My reader and amanuensis, Jack, the kindest and best of girls, who creams all tho newspapers and writes my letters���most, of them- at least.

Jus1, then the door opened, and Thrupp announced " Miss Lester," And to Jack's utter delight and astonishment, in walked the young lady with gray eyos���.Mirah Lester, his good angel. [the end]. I uncle Under falling Rooks- Alpine climbing is attende.l by risks of many kinds. One of the worst is tho danger trom falling stones. Two members of the Alpine Club, Mr. Foster and Mr. Walker, with two professional guides, hid been to tho summit of the Aiguille du Midi, a peak which had been ascended only twice b-fore. The getting down from the topmost rocky cone was a work of much difficulty, but was safely accomplished, and the mountaineers were carefully skirting round the base of it, looking for the easiest route by which to continue their descent. After a time they found themselves, as Mr. Foster says, at the head of a great precipice overhanging a glacier. Tho rocks presented no great difficulty beyond their steepness, and the patty struck straight down. Some few hundred feet below, a butteress atour right hand attracted us, and wo passed straight along the face of the clilf to gain it. Jakob was leading, Walker next, I followed, and Baumann brought up the roar. Only one was moving at a time, and every cue had the rope as taut as possible between himself and his neighbor. Jakob was crossing a narrow gully, whon suddenly, without warning, as though he had trodden upon tho keystone of the wall, tho whole face for thirty or forty feei, above him peeled olf, and with a crash liko thunder, hundreds of tons of rocks precipitated themselves upen him. In an instant he was torn from his hold and hurled down the precipico with them, Fortunately, Walker was able to hold on, though the strain on him was awful, He stammered out 6omc entirely inane rejoinder. What would she tliink of him if she knew how near he had been to suppressing and destroying a letter that had come into his hands by chance'; which, therefore, should have heen doubly sacred to any possession honourable man. How terribly base he 'U'!1'- but would seem in her eves, if she guessed that ho had coldly reckoned on the death of the man who had tilled a father's place in his life! The young lady, being quite at a loss as to the real cause of her fellow-traveller's manifest agitation, imagined him to bo the victim of bashfiiliiess. So she resinned her book in happy ignorance of the violent revulsion of feeling she had roused in lhe breast of the man opposite to her, and of the momentous result brought about by their meeting.

The day passed, and he went homo to his lodgings thoroughly tired out. But next morning he rose early aud walked down to Russell Square. The sight of the well remembered house, even though he knew it to In. now tenanted by strangers, restored the By that time Jack had regained sufficient | balance of his mind, and brought back some self-possesion to be able to respond to her measure of his former lightheartednesf, parting "good-morning;" then he, too,!

Then he untied the rope with trembling fingers, and cradled along the face of thc cliff to the other side of the gully, where somo snow offered means to staunch his wounds, As soon as he was safe, Baumann called to us to stand still, and clambered carefully over the spot whero the rocks had given wav, our only road lying theio.

The execution of further plans for the re- establishment of vested rights, and for the operation of processes of law at Homestead has been delayed by the committee of investigation from Congress, which has demanded the presence of men who otherwise would have directed important events at Homestead. No man could read the patriotic words which come by every mail to the Carnegie headquarters without being solemnly im- presssed by the stupendous importance of the present crisis. And let no ono think that thc man in charge of the Carnegie interests is blind to the significance uf tho struggle. H. C, Frick is a just man and a determined one. Ho realizes completely tho nature of the vast responsibility that is upon him, There will bo no vacillation, no weakening in the policy he is following. He will keep right on in a straight open course. He has, and will continue to have, the entire support of his principals. He will meet appalling obstacles in the great task he has undertaken. He expects them, but his policy will bo unchanged to the end, come what may. It will be, it already is a mighty struggle. No panorama of war itself presents more thrilling and dramatic situations thau aro already in view. As it continues to unroll, pictures worthy tho attention of the nation will be disclosed. Peace now reigns at Homestead, but it is peace at the cannon's mouth. There is murder yet in the hearts of the people, " 1 would like to put a bullet through you," hissed a striker into the ear of a newspaper man who had advised a stranger to refuse to answer an unauthorized demand for his name and business this afternoon. There was more of this arrogant interference with personal rights all over thc town to-day, and few dared resent it. The Commander of the National Guard said he would arrest any one who attempted to assume the power of the mob again in this way, but nobody cured to act as complain, ant in ouch a case. Tho plans for reopening the Homstead mills, and for reducing the strikers to a more complete subjection to the law for obvious reasons will not be made public in advance. It can only be said in general terms that decisive action will bo taken very soon. No violence is apprehended in connection with the threatened strike in the Pittsburgh mills to-morrow. The mon are intelligent and naturally lawbiding. Their sympathies aro strongly enlisted in behalf ot their Homestead brethren, and they rea'.izo that they aro making a great sacrifice in going on strikemorely out of sympathy. They know that there are very few sympathy strikes on record that ever succeeded. They number about 3,500. At the Braddock mills, opposito Homestead, there are more than a thousand, and they are said to be ready to take similar action. There are iu all the Carnegie mills about 23,000 men, but a considerable proportion of this number tho company believes cannot possibly be induced to strike. President Weihe of thc Amalgamated Association refused to say to-day what would bo tlie attitude of his organization in tho matter of a general sympathetic strike. Tlie Homestead strikers aro basing some hopes on thc possibility of the railroad men refusing to handle the product of tho mills thero if turned out by non-union men under military protection. Gon. Snowdon said to-day that he thought the troops would be kept at Homestead about two weeks. No one at all acquainted with the temper of the strikers believes that it would be possible to peacefully operato the mills at fhe end of that period without a very strong armed forco for the protection of tlie men. There is no chance of the men weakening at present because of lack ot means. Their own and kindred organizations will gladly supply them with all the money they need for a long fight. If an appeal for physical assistance should be sent out, the indications are that there would be an equally prompt and effectivo response if the tenor of the offers which for a week have beon pouring in means anything at all. Tho feelings of the strikers toward the troops are rapidly changing. They arc no longer cordial. Thoy are not even friendly.

The main crater is gradually extending, and the mass of hot ashes, lava and scoria which it is vomiting is increasing in volume and violence. Showers of firoy stones, many of them of hugo size, and molted matter are sometimes projected into tlie air to a height of 1,000 feet, and dense clouds of smoke and ashes hover continually over tho crater. Two new cones, each about 800 feet high, have been formed, and from these streams of lava are constantly flowing. Tlie lava is advancing in a threatening manner in the direction of Nicolisi, a village of 2,- 700 inhabitants, situated on the southern slope of Mount Etna, nine miles from Catania. The stream is now only two miles distant from the village. A DENSE SMOKE HIDES TIIE ABATERS, The immense columns of smoke and ashes, which are hovering over the burning mount, have grown so dense as to cover everything in tho vicinity witli a mantel of darkness and tho craters arc now invisible. The largest craters aro still ejecting immense masses of boiling lava, tho streams of which aro steadily growing wider and are as steadily creeping with terrible persistency, foot by foot, upon certain of tlio villages lying on the mountain slopes. VENATURA I'ARTI.H.IaV DESTROYED. A later despatch says:���Enormous incandescent rocks and immense clouds of steam continue to be thrown out of the crater of Mount Etna. Part of the village of Vena- tura has beon destroyed by lava, and ao immense amount of damage been done to neighboring chestnut woods. Committees of citizens are boing formed to roliove the sufferers. The faper Age. The world has seen its iron age and its brazen age, but this is tho age of paper. We aro making so many things of paper that it will soon be true that without paper there is nothing made. We live in paper houses, wear paper clothing, and sit on paper cushions in paper cars rolling, on paper wheels. If we lived in Bergen, Norway, we could go on Sundays to a paper church. We do a good paper business over paper counters, buying paper goods, paying for them with paper money, and deal in paper stocks on paper margins. We row laces in paper boats for paper prizes. We go to paper theatres whore paper actors play to paper audiences. As the age develops tho coming man will become moro deeply enmeshed in the paper net. He will awake in tlie morning and creep from under the paper clothing of his paperbod, and puton his paper dressing gown and his paper slippers. He will walk over paper carpets, down paper stairs, and, seating himself in a paper chair, read the paper news in tho morning paper. A paper bell will call him to his breakfast, cooked in a paper oven, served on paper dishes, laid on a paper cloth on a paper table. He will wipe his lips with a paper napkin, and having put on his paper shoes, paper hat and paper coat, and then taking his paper stick (he has tho choice of two descriptions already), he will walk on a paper pavement or rido in a paper car- riago to his paper oilice. He will organize paper enterprises and make paper profits. He will sail the ocean on paper steamships and navigato the air in paper balloons. He will smoke a paper cigar or paper tobacco in a paper pipe, lighted with a paper match. Ho will write with a paper pencil, whittle paper sticks with a paper knife, go fishing witli a paper fishing-rod, a paper line and a paper hook, and put his catch in a paper basket. He will go shooting with a paper gun, loaded with paper cartridges aud will defend his country in paper forts with paper cannon and paper bombs. Having lived his paper lite and achieved a paper fame and paper wealth,he will retire to paper leisure and dio in paper peace. There will be a paper funeral, at which the mourners.dressed in paper crape, will wipe their eyes with paper handkerchiefs, and the preacher will preach in a paper pulpit. He will lie in a paper colIin; elsewhere in this paper it will be seen that he has a chance of doing so already if he is a paper���we mean paupor. He will be wrapped iu a paper shroud, his name will be engraved ou a paper plate, and a paper hearse, adorned with paper plumes, will carry him to a paper-lined grave, over which will be raised a paper monument, Big Little Men. Brains and stature do not go together by any means, and somo of thc most famous men in tho world havo boon little men, or, at least, they have been short, Everybody can think of a dozen men besides President Harrison (who is anything hut buried under " Grandfather's Hat") as caricaturists feign, whoso names are leading ones in politics or literature or business to-day who have fewer inches by several than, say, Bishop Brooks, A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine marshals many celebrated little mon whose littlo talents have enriched (he world since " Zaccheus, he, did climb a trco" to aco ovor the heads of his taller companions. Balzac sayi, that little follows are lho fellows for work ; being short himself, ho did not hesitate to say, what Bacon said too about the ovident relation between over-developed inches and under-developod brain. Tlio champion of tho tall may have his say about that as soon as he pleases; but on this Bide thero aro Napoleon (who was five feet ono) and Admiral Koppel, At- tila and Oliver Cromwell. The Dulio of Wellington and Lord Nolson wero both a good deal under six foot; General Sheridan was much shorter than General Grant who was not a tall man, about the height of Frederick the Great. Michael Angelo and Sir Christopher Wren, Thomas Moore (not an inch above the five feet) Alexander Pope only four feot Bix) Voltario and Calvin and Ilavid Garrick and John Milton and William Wilberforcc and Lord Shaftesbury aro some of those named and everybody can add to tho list.

Good Nnrsin-j in Summar. The nursing of the sick in summer is even ft moro difficult task than in winter. In winter there is abundance of fresh, pure air, and a proper temperature may be easily attained by the use of artificial heat. Iu summer, on the contrary, the heat cannot ho controlled. Pure air is not always pos Bible in all localities, where tho neglect of one or two careless neighbours, with slovenly kept dooryards, may till the atmosphere with the poiaon of decaying vegetation or some other nuisance. These difficulties are against the invalid sufferers in country or town and require extra care ou tlie part of the nurse. A wise physician has said that a good nurse is a woman, thoroughly healthy and alert in all her five senses. She must have good sight, in order that she may watch the slightest changes in the patient, cateh a motion of the eye, the tips of tlie fingers, and see in a moment what is wanted. She must have quick hearing to catch the slightest whisper of a weak invalid. She must have a sensitive as well as aaoft touch, that sho may note the most delicate changes in thc skin and may test the temperature of hot applications that may be ordered. It is especially necessary that she have a correct and acute sense of smell, so that sho may detect the slighest impurity in the atmosphere of tho sick room. Her taste must be correct, in order that sho may test the food to see that it is properly cooked. A good nurse should also ho a good cook,and at the best training schools for nurses a course of lectures with manual training in cookery is a part of the curriculum. A nurse has special need of physical strength to endure the fatigue of her place in the summer season. Where the patient is very ill a second nurse is supplied at niglit, to give the first or day nurse her needed rest. It is a great mistake for any woman to undertake the duties of a nurse unless she is willing and able to endure the physical hardships of suoh a place. A nurse must have no objectionable eccentricities of manner ; she must have a generalsense of whole- somenes.8 in her personality. A nervous woman is in no way fitted for a nurse. A great many women manago to pass their examinations who do not possess all these requirements, but they do not make succesB- ul nurses. The question of education is a ocond one. No education beyond the rudiments is required at the admission on probation. Nevertheless, it is found that uneducated women fall out of the ranks before the time of probation is over, as they do not possess the same nervo and power of endurance and comprehension of details a3 women of more cultivated minds. The good nurse should certainly be a woman of tact, in order to humor the harmless whims of her patient rather than irritate him by martinettish methods. One of the most objectionable habits of the indiscreet nurse is that of rehearsing her sickroom and hospital experiences to hor patient. Like a wise physician, the discreet nurse says little and never talks " shop." Summer Diet- Half the illness that occurs at one season, I think I can safely say, is due to improper dieting taken at another. We hear of people feeling weak in the spring or suffering from those different ailments duo to malnutrition, such as boils, skin diseases, obesity, or debility. Now this would not be so if the person adapted his diet to his requirements and to the season. No sensible person would think of keeping a large fire burning iu his room in the summer. If he did he would undoubtedly soon feel the effect of it; but many a man who would feel himself insulted if he wero not thought a sensible person, will eat iu the summer to repletion foods the particular action of which is to supply heat in excess. Perhaps I cannot do better here than to explain that the foods that are converted into heat���thai is, keep up the heat of the body���arc starches, sugar and fat; and those that moro particularly nourish the nervous and muscular system aro thc albumen and salts; and a perusal of or reference to a prepared table will show what these are, and also tho amounts of the different constituents they contain. At a glance the reader will see that tho largest proportion of summer food should consist of green vegetables, cooked or as salads; white or lean meats, such as chicken, game, rabbits, venison, fish and fruits. - [hi. N. E. Ycrkc Davies. A Parent's Duty to the Young. The body may be looked at as a living machine, delicate and complicated in structure, made to run a hundred years or so, hut liable by bad management to be disarranged and brought to untimely destruction. All continuous physical transgression, however innocent it muy seem, is followed by retribution, Such is thc punishment which overtakes multitudes who overwork their brains and underwork their muscles; of not a few who waste vital on- crgy with anxiety, fret and unstinted care, of many who overlook tho great law of their physical boing that makes daily recuperation depend en tho interchange of worn and rost. Even ministers of the Gospel not uiiiroi|iicntly allow well meant faithfulness tn end in a fatal mental strain. One nf the Until facts connected with many forms of physical transgression is its tondoiicy to weaken tho vital stamina of the transgressor's offspring, The least a child can ask of its progenitor is a fair ehanco of life. To squander tho vital inheritance of one's offspring is vastly worse than to squander its large ancestral estate. We havo no more valuable possession than a good heredity���an inheritance of longevity; and if this has not descended to us it is generally because ancestors, moro or less remote, have squandered it, Such an inheritance giveseonstitution.il vigor, keeps its possessor safe amid almost overy form of microbo disease", secures the needed rccuperativcenergy in case of attack, makes life worth living up to the normal end, renders old age green and sunny and keeps up intellectual activity to the list.��� [Dr.K.

If possible, keep the child's arms raised above his head for live or ten minutes at a time. This alone will often cause the bleeding to cease. If not, place a piece of ice wrapped in a cloth at the nape of the neck, and another one directly at the top of the nose between the eyes, If the ice does not stop the bleeding, plug the nostril with styptic cotton. Every house should have a bottle of the last nam ed article, as it will often arrest violent hemorrhages more quickly than anything else when proceeding from the head, aud is also useful in dressing wounds when bleeding. If the styptic cotton is not at hand, the old fashion 3d remedy, cobwebs, may be used, but tine lint is still better. Many people use powdered alum, snuffed up the ucse, which is good it thc child can snuff it up without the effort increasing the hemorrhage. Ex tract of hamamelis (witch hazel) should bo taken internally in doss ot from one- half to a teaspoonful from fifteen minutes to one hour apart, according to the severity of the case, and it may bo taken occasionally between the attacks as a preventive or where there is great weakness of the membranes. Vegetables- TO COOK PUMPKIN OK SQl'ASU. I heard a woman say, not long ago ; " I would not mind baking pumpkin pies, but one has to spend so much time in cooking tho pumpkin," and 1 straightway told her my way ; after which it occurred to me that others might he aided by the knowledge I just happened on myself. Here it is: Cut the pumpkin in halves; scrap out all tho seeds and set the halves in a slow oven, tho rind of tho pumpkin making the pans in which the pumpkin is baked. If not hurried, you will find there will ho quite enough moistuio in the pumpkin to prevent it from becoming dry. When done, slido them carefully from the oven to a platter or tray, and let them cool. When cool, peel off the nnd and roasted edges, and mash with a wire potato masher. The pumpkin is delightfully dry and has a nutty flavor, not to be surpassed, while the cooking is absolutely no trouble at all. What is left ovsr can be put into glass, self-sealing jars while hot, and set in a cool, dark place for another baking. Not the least little bit of use iu stewing pumpkin. Try this way. SQUASH SOUFFLE. " Oh dear! company for dinner, and not a vegetable in the houso but squash, and no time to get any ! Some folks don't like squash. John don't either." A neighbor at kitchen door (to borrow some flour) heard my lamentations and said, "Just try them on squash souffle." I did. They didn't like squash, but they (fid like squash souffle, and moreover, so did John. So far those who do like it and those who don't (particularly thc dont's) here is the recipe; One pint of mashed squash, one tablespoon- fill of melted butter, one half cup of cream or milk, pepper and salt to taste, and the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in a buttered dish, one half-hour m a hot oven, and if you don't think it a rare bit of " delicate feasting," I am mistaken. Playing-Uiirds in Kussia. There is only one factory in Russia for the manufacture of playing-cards. It has a monopoly of the business and belongs to the Foundling Hospital. It is figured that there are 30,000,000 people iu Russia who play cards, and to supply the demand this factory puts out 6,000,000 packs of cards annually. Iu order to make this enormous quantity of cards only 329 women, aged from 15 to 20 years, and sixty-men are employed. And they are chosen amid tho sisters, wives, and daughters of the workmen at the factory. Both exteriorly and interiorly the factory is a model of cleanliness. This is one of the essential conditions of this branch of the production, All the employes live at tlio factory and earn from So to $15 a month. They work from (j in the morning to 6 o'clock at night, and arc allowed two hours a day for their meals. Besides the ordinary playing-cards of different qualities the factory produces annually 120,000 packs of figured cards for the German colonies, besides 12,000 packs of miniature playing-cards as toys. The annual profit of the factory amounts to about ��800,- 000. The cardboard is supplied by tho Neva paper-mill. Tea-Ohest Lead. One of the industries in connection with the tea trade is the collection of the lead with which tea-chests are lined. China has been noted for many centuries for the purity of its lead, and this tea-chest lead, as it is called, is regarded as the finest in existence. There arc many uses for it; it is found very valuable in making the best kind of solder, No machinery is employed in thc production ot this sheet lead ; every sheet is mado hy hand in the most primitive fashion. A largo brick is provided, tho size of the sheet of lead to bo made, and is covered with two or three sheets of paper. Ou theso tho molten lead is poured, and another brick is placed on the top, which flattens the load out the required size and tluckncsi. Tho sheets are then soldered together to tho size of the interior of the tea chest; tho tea is packed in, and thc top sheet is fastened in place, The workmen are vory expert, and they turn out an Immense number of sheets in lhe courso of a day, and, where labor is so cheap, at a price much less than if tho articles weie produced by machinery. A Village Schoolmaster's Experience. As I am settled in a manufacturing district, which is pretty well sprinkled with the sons of " Ould Erin," I necessarily encounter some specimens of Irish wit and waggery. On the first day of school I walked up to a ragged urchin of a dozen years, with tho usual question of, " What is your name ?" " William Flanagan, sir," " Well, Willie, where do you live?" " Next door lo Michael McFinnagan, sir." Which, as I was a stranger, was, of course, rather unsatisfactory. " lint," persisted 1, "where does Michael McFinnagan live?''

And arc you just going homo to heaven again?" Tho poor conductor only shook his head; Tears in his eyes���the powerof speech had fled. Hnd conscience by her prattle ron-'cd his fears, And struck upon tlie fountain of his tears; And mado his thoughts in sad confusion whirl; At last ho said, "Once I'd a little girl, I loved her much; sho was my little pet, And with groat fondness I remember yet How much she loved me. But ono day she died." " She's gone to heaven," the little girl replied; " She's gone to Jcsus-Jcsus paid her fare. Oh, dear conductor, won't you moot hor there?" Tho poor conductor now broke fairly down; He could havo borno the harshest look or frown, But, no one laughed; but many sitting by Beheld the scone with sympathetic eye. Ho kissed the child, forsho his heart had won, " I am so sleopy,"said thc littlo one, "If vou will let mo, I'll lay hero and wait Until your carriage comes to Josub' gate; Bo sure you wake me up and pull my frock, Andnt the gate give just ono littlo knock I And you'll see Jesus thero!" Tho Btrong man wept! I could but think as from tho car 1 stept, How oft a little one has found tho road, The narrow pathway to that blest abodo; Through fail h in Christ has road its title clear Whilo learned men remain in doubt and fear. A littlo obild! the Lord oft usessuch To break or bend, the stoutest heart to touch. Then by His Spirit bids tho conflict cca6C, And onco for ever enter into poaco. And then along tho road the nows we bear, We're going to heaven���tUas Jesus paid our faro! The Life-Saving Guard. BY MARY A, T. STANSBURY. Tommy was staying at Lakeside with his Sapa and mamma. Uncle Jack and Aunt 'ellie were there too, and Mr. and Mrs. Barrington and little Rob, who was Tommy's host friend, Tommy and Rob had a beautiful time at Lakeside. Tho watjr was so shallow, and the sandy bottom so hard and smooth, that they could be trusted to wade out as far as ever they liked, splashing and playing liko the merry littlo mermen iu Tommy's fairy- book. One evening Aunt Nellie and Mrs Harrington were walking together up and down the beach A curved feathery moon and two or three stais were in tho sky. Their lighf'shone faintly on the water, and the ripples made a whispering noiso like the wind in dry leaves. " Do let us go for a row I" said AuntNel- lie. So thoy unfastened Uncle Jack's boat, aud paddled away into the shadows. Up tho shore a great camp lire had boon kindled. Rugs had been spread upon tho ground, and sweet-smelling hemlock cushions strewn aboiiu to lean upon, and one of tho ladies read aloud from a hook, which made all tho old people laugh merrily. Tommy and Rob oould notqnilo sen tho fun of it ali, "o, after a little, they ran away by themselves through thesweotcooldarkness, .Suddenly Tommy Blood still. " Hark, Rob ! What is that noise '!" ho said. Whilo they both listened, a long musical call came over the waters; thou another and another. " That sounds liko my mamma's voice," whispered Rob, and ho cai'.ght fast hold ol Tommy's hand. "Where is my mamma, Tommy! She wasn't up thoro at tho lire." " Nor my auntie, cither," said Tommy. Tho call sounded again, clearer, than ho fore. " I know I" cried Tommy. "Thoy'roout in the boat, caught on a siiiid bar. There's lots of sand bai'B; Undo Jack said said so. We'll go right out and push 'cm o(T. Take off your shoes and stocking, Rob." Tho two little boys dropped on tho sand, In a minuto their foot were bare and thoir trousers tucked up abovethcir knees. " We're coming 1" they shouted, shrilly, as they plunged into thc dark waters. It was not long before thoy could make nut something white before thom���Aunt Nellie's muslin dress. It was exactly as Tommy had imagined. The boat was fast on a bar. Aunt Nellio and Mis. Harrington had pushed with the ours until they woro tlrod, without moving it nt all. Then they had silt still, calling and waiting. "Don't you be ono bit afraid, auntie! We'll savo you 1" cried Tommy, gallantly, "Courso wo will, mamma dear I" suid Rob. Tommy pulled at the bow of the boat, and J Rob pushed at the stern. At first it would not stir. They tugged harder and harder. By-and-by it began to slide���slowly, with a grating noiso; then faster and moie smoothly as it slipped into tlie deeper wator. "Bravo!" cried Aunt Nellie. "Now, boys, climb in yourselves." " Oh, auntie, wc are too wet! We mustn't spatter your pretty gowns," answered Tommy. " We'll go on ahead, and be ready to tie up the boat when you get to the dock." Aunt Nellie put Tommy to bed that night. After ho had said his prayer, he laid his cheek against her hand, and asked, shyly, " Auntie, couldn't you aud Rob's mamma ever have got off the bar without Rob and me?" 'Not unless we had made ourselves dreadfully wet ond dirty," answered Aunt Nellie. 'And ladies never do that, do they?" said Tommy; and he wont to sleep smiling. On the evening before they were all to go back to town there was another splendid camp fire. Uncle Jack popped a great panful of corn ovtr the coals, and there was plenty of nuts and bonbons. At last Uncle Jack said that Tommy's papa had been asked to make a speccl), because, being a lawyer, ho knew how so much better than anybody else. Then Tommy's papa rose, and took out of his pocket two little boxes, which looked precisely as if they had come from the jeweller's, When tbe boxes wero opened, thero were two beautiful little silver medals. On one sido of each was engraved tho picture of a ship in distress, and around the opposite rim tho words, "Life-saving Guard." One medal was marked, "Rob Barrington," and the other, "Tommy Venner." Tommy's papa mado a fine speech, and presented the medals; but to Tommy ho said, "My son, it is plain that vou a'ro a chip of the old block." The others laughed at that, so Tommy laughed too, although he did not knoiv why. Beanie. Our Bennie was very anxious to be a man, and he thought that thc first step towards that was to wear trousers instead of kilts. Mamma did not want him to give up kilts so soon, so she made him some pretty- trousers like his dress, to wear under the kilt skirt. Bennie had to take a look at himself in the long glass before the skirt was buttoned on, and after walking back and forth before tho mirror several times, he said, anxiously: "111 must wear the kilt, mamma, can't you tuck it into the pants? fl-e-a-s-e." What could mamma do with thoso earnest eyes pleading so for manly dross? Papa declared that he was plenty large enough for trousers, and brought home a new sailor suit that very night. The next day he went with mamma on a visit to auntio. Auntie soon brought out a beautiful wax doll, which she laid in a chair near him. Bennie's eyes sparkled, and ho looked at it wistfully, for no liked dolls very much, but ho did not tako it up. " Why don't you take her, Bonnie," said auntie. " Thank you," answered Bennie solemnly. " She is very pretty, but you'd better give her to Noll. I used to play with dolls when I was a little girl, hut I don't any more. I wear pantsl" There was no more to be said. The Glass Hat- Helen was visiting at grandma's. She had never seen a lamp before, for gas was always used in her own home. She was much amused at the idea of having a light on the table. Once she pointed to the chimney, and said, " See that light has a glass hat." A Source of Unhappnness. "The longer I live," said Sydney Smith, "the more I am convinced tiiat half the nnbappinoss of the world proceeds from littlo stoppages, from a duct choked up, from food pressing in the wrong place, from a vexed duodenum or an agitated pylorus. "My friend sups late; he cats somo strong soun, then a lobster, then some tart, and he dilutes these esculent varieties witli wine. "The next day I call upou him. He is going to sell his house in London and retire Into tho country. Ho is alarmed for his eldest daughter's health; his expenses aro hourly increasing, ami nothing but a timely retreat can save him from ruin, "All this is the lobster, nnd when overexcited nature has had time to manage this encumbrance, the daughter recovers, the finances aro in good order, and evory rural idea is effectually excluded from the mind. "In lho same manner old friendships aro destroyed by toastod chcosu, and hard Biiltcd meat has led to suicide. Unpleasant feelings of the body produce corresponding sensations in tlio mind, nud a great scene of wretchedness is sketched out by a morsel of indigestible and misguided food." An Actor's Opinion of Whisky. One of tho bust and briefest temperanco lectures in print is lhat contained in a letter now going tho rounds of tlio news- i papers which on good authority is ascribed to the late W. J. Florence, tho popular and witty actor ; " My Dear : "One gallon of whisky costs about S.>, and contains abont 11') 15-cont drinks, Now if you must drink buy a gallon, and mako l your wifo the barkeeper. When ynu j aro dry, givo her 15 cents for a drink, and ' when the whisky is gone she will have after | paying for it, SO.7") lelt, and every gallon thoreaftet will yield the Biuno profit. This I money sho should put away, so that when I you havo become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, and shunned by every respectable man, your wife may huve money enough to keep you until your time comes to fill a drunkard's grave," Wo thought wo knew what a bureau is, hut tlio bureau of statistics seems lo bo all tables.

The mines of tlie world produce twenty- five tons of gold every week, but the precious metal remains as rare as ever. A favorite dish of the East Indies is an ant mash. The insects are caught in pits and mashed by liandfuls like raisins. Unless an Austrian gains the consent of his wife, he cannot get a passport to journey beyond the frontier of his own country. At a public entertainment in Paris a young man was hypnotised. Two days elapsed before be was restored to consciousness, " Least said soonest mended," as the doctor said to the patient with a factured jawbone. The number of fires in London has increased by 51) per cent, since 1S82 ; 25 per cent, of the fires occur in uninsured premises. The shade-trees planted along the quays, avenues, and boulevards, and in tlie squares, parks, and gardens of Paris number more than 400,000. The natives of Vera Cruz do a large trade in fireflies, which they catch by waving a blazing coal at the end of a stick. The insects fly toward the light, and are captured iu nets. Paper quilts are becoming popular in kurope. They are cheap and warm.

Seals when basking place one of their number on guard to give the alarm in case of danger. The signal is a quick clap of the flippers on a rock. Rabbits signal with their forcpaws, and have regular signals and calls. A novel road race was ridden in France recently. The contestants were all mounted on pneumatics and the course was sprinkled with nails, the purpose being to puncture the tiro if possible and make the riders repair them on the road. Tho hose) used in spriukling the plazas ol Paris is a queer contrivance. It consists of lengths of iron pipe, each length mounted at the end on short axles having two small wheels, and the lengths joined together by short pieces of flexible hose. The Emperor of China does not stir much in wet weather. This is due in part to the fact that it takes ten men to carry his umbrella, and it is difficult to get them away from the fantan table all at once. Have your piano tuned at least four times in the year by an experienced tuner. If you allow it to go too long without tuning it usually becomes flat, and troubles a tuner to get it to stay at concert pitch, especially in the country. India furnishes a market for large numbers of whito diamonds, as well as for yellow or coloured diamonds, or stones with flaws or specks in them.
