PLODDING Jill. 'Jim Dunn, do you know you son yet?' The question, uttered in an ii ated tone, came from a youn to who had been reading wspaper, waiting for the tard y of his class. N-no, sir; I don't believe I d< ite,' was the hesitating reply. 'Are you aware what time i One o'clock, sir,' said youn inn. Ie knew that well enougi td not his eyes lingered on th rdy hands of the old moon-face >ck, and thence gone roving or rough the window where db ds more sleeping in the noor v haze ? And then he was e ngry ! 'Jim, (come here. I can't ut rstand what makes you so sti ii!' said the master ; and takin e book, he proceeded to hastil view point after point. 'Do you understand this ?' la ked, 'and this and that ?' Jim's brow lightened. He wi ore pleased with himself thi ings looked clearer, and certai >ubts vanished, and his heart b, thank you, sir ?' made td aher smile. 'You're very s1ow, Dunn ; ver >w, I don't think I ever saw low just like you; but I gue! bat you learn you learn.' That was just it-what Jil uin knew he knew thoroughly 'Well, if here isn't Jim, jnst nier is done !' cried his sist< r.ne. 'And every bit of the puddin me,' said Oscar, the next olde: other. 'I made sure you'd sta I day.' 'Poor boy !' sighed his mother e always seems to be behindi erthing. Ever since he was by he has been slow.' Jim sat down, however, and al e scraps. Nobody seemed 1 ink that Tom would care. 'I don't know what we shall d ith that boy,' Dr. Dunn ofte id, when talking over the pro ~cts of their children. 'Charle clines to the law, and Oscar wi >a doctor ; but wvhat ability ht m for anything? He is so slo d plodding, so little ambitiou at I am discouragred when ink of his future.' 'Poor Jim !' said Mr-s. Dui ~lf siging, half-laughbing ; 'he e black sheep of the famnil; ben he was a little fellw, jed often be startled by the ow e wisdom of his face. I nevi ought then that~ it was dulilnes e can't help it. 1His motiot e slow, his mind is tardy, but >p he will make his way in ti orld.-' Jim was the bttt of all the famr , but it did not seem to ang4 m at all. He k new he was slos harley could play br-illiantl; ng a song with excellent effec .ay any game well. Osc.m- his youngest brothe was famous for his composition and his power of elocution. Al the rest excelled, outstripped hin and yet he plodded on patiently. es 'Going to the theatre to-night ? asked a well-dressed young mat 1 of Jim, as they left the store to gether. This was four years Ia cs ter; and Jim was one of the clerk: Id in Dolman & Dolman's great es tablishment, and so slow and tin -d demonstative that the othei clerks were alnays chaffing him e He thought for a moment, rattle( 2t some loose coins that were in hih pocket, and said : Ld 'No.' Have you ever been ?' queriec rt' the other. le Jim looked at him in his usua deliberate way ; and replied: 'No. re 'Then you don't know anythin of life.' 'Then I don't want to,' respond ed Jim. 'By the way, v.-here are yot 's boarding?' asked his friend, pull ing on a pair of very tight gloves Jim never wore gloves. s 'At Glen's, in Holbrook Street, said Jim. 'Oh, you're slow. Why that's 'way down tow:..' 'That's why I board there,' saic Jim. 'I only pay four dollar's t week. Good evening.' 'The meanest fellow I ever saw, muttered Dick Dalton as he plant r ed his fancy cane as heavily as ite fragility would permit on the side - walk. g Jim gained his boarding house a a tall, rusty-looking teneniut, ir y the fourth story of which was hit room. It was a very desolate. looking apartment, for, save it the coldest weather, Jim nevei t had a fire. There were three shelves, ful g of excellent books, and at a tablk at the side of the room stooc something that looked like i e wooden arm chair. Bits of pine d a few tools and a paper filled witi t saw-dust, kept them company. C Of course Jim got frugal mealh - in this place. A widow and hei 0 daughter kept the house, lettin~ nearly all the rooms to lodgers 1- but Jim's quiet ways and pleasani 1- .face had won an entrance to thei g hearts, and they took him to thei y table for a small consideration. Jim ran up stairs as soon as h4 e reached the house. He never rat up stairs in any other place, bu L there was an attraction ther( Lt which was better than the amuse n ments to which his fellow-clerks y devoted themselves. e No sooner had he seated him self at the table and taken up t y screw, than some one knocked a a the door. At the, low 'come in, a his eldest brother presented him selt, dressed in the height of fash n ion, handsome and even imposing -in appearance. Ls 'Well, Jim, so these are you i lodgings, my boy,' said the young man. 'Not much style, I mus g sav.' st 'Not much,' said Jim, cheerfully Y 'Have you just come from home ? 'Yes, and everything is going o1 about the same. Father is might n ily pleased that I have got nm3 a shingle u p.' 'And are you prospering ?' asket eC Jim, with a sidelong glance upor o the ivory cane, the kid gloves an< the gold chain. 0 'Oh, so-so. Of course it ha! n taken a good deal of money to fur Snish my office.' y 'I thought father advanced yor i five hundred dollars,' said Jim. is 'So he did. The old gentlemar avwas very good to mortgage th< s, property-for I suppose you art I informed of the fact-but thing! are so horribly expensive.' S'What things ?' asked Jim, dri 'Every tlhing-all things. To ge bus1iness no(w-a-days, a fellow miu. make a show.' 'And so you smoke ten cw cigzars, give a supper now an. Ithen, treat your companionls, an<( e frequent the theatre,' said Jim. 'Oh ,hang it! Your blood's water iJim ; and besides, your position i: rdifferent from mine.' Things art .expected from me. I must go int< ,society. By-and-by I shall get t,case that will pay me richly for al these sacrifices.' tone that made Charley's bood I move faster, so that he said to himself, with the addition of an oath. 1 'The same old slow boy. with no more brains than an ox.' 'You are still at the machine, I I see,' be said aloud, a moment af ter. 'Oh, yes ; it costs next to no thing; and if it never succeeds, it gives me something to think about.' 'You don't say that you ever think,' was the sarcastic response. 'Well, now and then,' was the slow rejoinder. [ Charley rose, sauntered back and forth for a few moments, and then stood still, his handsome face reddening. 'I say, Jim. can't you lend me ten dollars ? I'm absolutely out of cash.' 'I never lend,' said Jim. Cbarley's breath grew short and quick. Some insulting speech was on the end of his tongue, for he felt both rage and contempt; but Jim, rising quietly, went to a desk and lifted the lid. 'If five dollars will do you ary good, you are welcome to them,' he said. 'They are all I have by me.' 'Jim, you're a good fellow!' gasped Charley, his tongue yet hot with the words he had intended to say. Jim went once or twice to his brother's office, and did not like it. 'Why should the young law yer spend a hundred dollars in pictures?' he asked himself indig nantly; 'and why does he keep the company of such men as I have met there ?' One day Jim received a ietter from hi1 brother Oscar DEAR OLD JIM :-I expect I shall have to leave college. Things are going w:ong at home. I don't suppose any one has told you. They seem to think you have all you can do to take care of your self; and so you have, I suppose. C~harley has been an awful weight upIon father, and this year the erops have all failed, and father is disabled from wor,k by rheuma tism. I don't care much about myself ; I only studied medicine to please father, and should rather Ibe almost anything else. I think I could write for the Snewspapers. Can't you get me a place in some store ? and I could - write evenings, and live with you. Think it over, for I'm sure father is going to lose all his property. Charley plays billiards, and I'm afraid cards. Write me as soon as you can what can be done for me. Jim wrote in less than a week. - His employer wanted an under - salesman. Then be set hinmself to look carefully into his father's affairs. Everything there was going to ruin. The farm was to be sold; his father and mother were nearly Iheart-broken, and no one thought for a moment of look ing to him. But nevertheless lhe laid his plans. To pay the mortgage was -quite impossible, but he hired some comfortable rooms in the old house where he stayed, sold what he could from the stock of the farm, had the necessary furniture brought to town, and installed his father and mother in a comforta ble home. The months passed. The old folks learned to depend upon him, and his sister found a situation as a bookkceper. One day a gentleman called upon Jim, and was invited into his room. 'You've been at work fif teen years on this machine, you say ?' remarked the gentleman when he had examined it. T he speaker w as a business man, whose favor was almost equal to a fortune. 'Yes, sir,' said Jim, quietly ; 'I was always a plodder.' 'Well, you've plodded to some puros,'was the answer. 'I am very sure there's money enough iit to make you a rich man.' Ji grew yer red, adthe room seemed toY go and for moment. 'Thank you,' he made reply. '1 >should like to be rich for the sake of~ others.' And so, eventually, plodding Jim won the race, and became the practical, efficient and prosperous man of t he family. Miselbrittois. SEVERE DROUGHTS.

Ex-Cu.gressman Robert Smalls had his company drawn up in Hue at the depot when General Grant's train ar rived at Beauf'.rt. Smali is every inch an African. lIe measures about five feet three .ne way and three feet five the other. With a broad belt, a bright sword that flourished in the sun. gorgeous epaulets and flowing plume, the honorable Robert looked the ttnonarch of all he surveyed. He is a shrewd fellow withal, and h;is mansion is one of the most elegant in Beaufort. After the visitors had driven around the little city and re turned to the depot, amidst salvos of artillery and the huzzas of the sable population, Mr. Smalls suddenly re membered something. A large cake had been made, in the hope that their beloved ex-President would visit their place, and intrusted to the care of their whilom Congressman for presen tation in due and stately form. Now, in the excitement of the hour, Mr. Smalls had forgotten this offering at his residence and was greatly exer cised in consequence; for, had that simple gift been slighted, his people's -ensitive hearts ' would have been wounded to the quick. Nothing could be done but to dispatch a messenger or it in all haste. The driver of Mr. Swails' quippage was told to go for it. "They're mine ; let them go." commanded the Congressman, with the air of the Emperor of the Indies, as the pair of splendid bays started. It was a magnificent team, and their ! owner assured the correspondent that it wouldn't take five minutes. The trouble was the train had to be off at a certain time to have the right of way. The sable Solon knew, however, that it would not leave without one of - the party, and so engaged the corres onde: t-in conversation on the rear aptform to kill time. Was ever a :a su much at the mercy of the in ? t ier : ? Doubtful. But no time was to be lost. The cake might ar rive at any moment, and a change of Svenue would be in order.
