He had no particular destination, "cnh goin' somewhere "?his reply always tc any question in regard to his move *- ? tk? UtIUlOt LUC UiUlUlU^ XiO UOU been parading the village street, his \>at trimmed luxuriantly with feathers, ihile he Bounded forth his own prai-? hrough the medium of a tin horn. Oi course he had attracted attention. A small army of urchins bad surrounded him, front and rear, and he had takec their shouts and teasing remarks foi applause and admiration. But now hi* grandeur was gone One by one hu followers had forsaken him, until at lasl he was "left alone in his calory," and with poor Nat, like tho rest of us, whal does glory amount to when there art none to witness ? ' * * * i - i _ i _ 3 _?fi Ana so ne movea onwara in ms arm ng, unoertain way across the creek at the edge of the village, np the hill, un til his stalwart form stood out against the sky?for Nat was strong in bodj though weak in mind ; then he passed down on the other side to where th? road entered a forest which stretched for miles away. It was here qniet and lonely, bnt Nat fancied this. He occa sionally liked to escape from humar voices and hnman habitations, to gel away by himself and talk with the birds, the trees and the flowers. Here in the wood the wild vagaries of his braic found full play. Here no one disputed his claims to greatness, no one denied his being a noted general, a gifted ora tor or mn ician, when the fancy seized him to be such. In faot Nat always had "greatness thrust upon him he was never an ordinary man in his owr estimation, and he was not now. But on this occasion a new fancy had taken possession of him?he was oc business for the King. What King, 01 what was the r>artienlar business he did not precisely know, but he had derived his idea from various sermons he bad heard at ihe village church and Sunday* school, which he attended with BcrupuIons punctuality through all weathers, aud although he understood but little of the proceedings, yet chance sentences had fastened themselves on his sluggish brain. "I'm on business for the King," he _ muttered, reacning up his great strong hand and wrenohing a huge overhanging branch from its place and speedily converting it into a walking stick. jYes, I'm on business for the King, the King of all around here, the birds, the trees, the flowers and the bumble-bees. He sent me, He did. Parson said bo t'other Sunday. He said the King sent ? ? ? A, 3. V ? TT. one His messengers to ao ms wors. ce sent out twelve on 'em once't, an' they wasn't to take no money in their purse nor nothin' to eat. He sent me, 'cause I hain't got no money an' hain't had sothin' to eat all day." He strode onward, murmuring his thoughts as he went, until after a time ' be oame upon a publio road which ran through the wood. A placard fastened to a tree by the roadside attracted his attention, abd he paused to consider it. He could not read, but as his eyes were fixed upon the printed characters the tinkle of cow bell was heard down the road, fid presently a cow came into view, followed by the short, sturdy figure and round, freckled face of Tomn.y Brock. Tommy was flourishing a large stick and shooting at the cow in his efforts to keep her in a proper homeward direction. As h? came nr> he exclaimed: 'Hello, Natl "What ar? \ou doin' here?" ?'Tin on business for the King," replied Nat, with dignity. "On bui-iness for ? who?' a&ked Tommy, in surprise. "For the King. He sent me," said Nat, again. "That's his orders there, I take it," pointing to the placard. "What -* is it, Tommy ?" "That? Why that's only an advertiaeaaent," answered Tommy, his eyes opening wider in his astonishment. " It 'Go to Tiacey's Half-Way house for square meal."' " Yes, I know'd it! I know'd it!" exclaimed Nat, exultingly. "The King Mid take no money nor nothin' to eat, an' He'd take keer of me. He tays 'Go,' an'I'll obey orders," and instantly his tall figure was moving swiftly down the toad. Tommy gazed a'ter him a minnte in . bewildered silence, and then exclaimed emphatically as he turned away: "Mv! bat. ain't he cracked 1" With rapid steps Nat hnrried forward, swinging hi? hage stick and talking to himself. He had taken the placaid as a veritable command to go to Tracey's, and thitherward he directed his Bteps. It was not the first time he bad been there. On previous occasions when he passed that way he had been kindly treated by Mrs. Tracey, and perhaps that bad something to do with the alacrity of his movement, and he hastened down the road till it brought him to a small stream, on the bank of which stood a sawmill. Mr. Tracey, the owner of the Half-way house, was engaged at work here, and he turned aside to speak to him. " I'm on business for the King, and I'm going* to your house," he announced with the dignified gravity that belonged to his royal commission. " On business for the King, and goin* to my house, eh ?" answered the person addressed, a good-natnred smile crossing his kindly face. " Well. I reckon that's a high honor to me. You've got ?tramp afore you, though, Nat?a good seven miles." "I must obey orders," replied Nat, simply. "That's right-obey orders. Well, if you do go tell Mrs. Tracey I'll be home to-morrow night. Tell her, too, not to be uneasy about that money bein* in the house, 'cause I'll see to it when I come." " What money's that?" asked a fellow workman as Nat turned away. " My pension. My claim was allowed last week, and I got my money?five hnndred dollars?yesterday. I was foolish not to put it in the bank .right off, bat I didn't, and as I didn't have time to go to town yesterday I had to leave it at home. I reckon it's safe enough, till to morrow night, and then-" " Hist 1" interrupted his companion, suddenly. "What's that?" Tracey paused to listen. " I didn't hear anything," he said. "I thought I heard some one over there," pursued the other, pointing to a large, high pile of boards a few feet distant?the beards being piled in form of a square, with a Isrge cavity in the oenter. "Most likely it was rats, though." " More likely to be rats than anything else, thero's so many about here," an swered Tracey. Then he added, jocularly: " Maybe, though, it's them burglars that's been plavin mischief roQud ^jthefefparts for the last week or so?maybe they're stowed away in that pile of lnmber. My! if I really believed that I'd be uneasy myself, for the chaps would have heard all I said bout my pension." ??What burglars is that T inquired the other* "What burglars?

That's the biggest of their hauls, though they've entered several other places." The conversation was continued on this topic for a few minutes, and the > dropped. Neither of the men thought it worth while to investigate the cause of the noise, and they pnrsued th ir work for a short time and were then called over to the other sido of the mill. Just as they disappeared a face peered over the top of the biard pile from the inside, another followed a moment later, and presently two rough, villainouslooking men came into view, and seeing they were unobserved, sprang quickly to the ground and hastened into the forest. "Close shave that, as bein' as we was hid there all last night and all day till now," paid one, as he pushed throngh the underbrush. " Yes ; I thought as once them mill chaps was a comin' to look," responded the other "Good for 'em as they didn't, an' took us for rats ; 'cause the p'lice be on the lookout now an' we don't want to use no shootin' irons an' make things too hot. We must move out lively from 'ere, Bill." "Not till we get that "ere pension," answered B;ll, significantly. " That lay-out were as good as pitched at us, an' it'd be a pity not to take it. 'Sides, the gov'ment owes me a pension for all the time I've lost in jails and prisons, an' this ere's a good chance *o get it. I .

He's crazy, an' if he goes f I there at all he'll only t-top a bit an< L move on. A tap on the head '11 settle I him, anyway, if lie's there?but then i j be won't be there." i Daring this time Nat was not idle, i j Hi6 tall form, with long and steady i stride, was hastening forward "on busit ness for the King." It did not occur [ to him what he should do when he t reaohed Tracey's and had been sup> plied with food. At present he was "oheying orders"?and beyoDd that Lis 11 1- L T ! mno o I I ILK pig ill* U1U UUO 1U ? tto iuucou u long walk be bad undertaken, and it ( was just at dusk tbat be reached his ; : destina'ion. The Half-way bouse was a > lonely hostelry, situated at the interI section of two road.", with no other > house in sight, and was a common I stopping-place for persons passiDg to i and from tbe city. Nat stepped boldly upon the broad piizza in front, and t with full consciousness of his right t walked unhesitatingly into tbe pleasant , sitting-room. Mrs. Tracey cimo for5 ward to meet him. i " Wby, Nat. is that you ?" I "Yes'm," he answered, gravely. "I I was told to come here an' get a square J meal. The Kinf? sent me." t " The KiDg sent you ? Well I guess i i I'll have to give you a supper then," ! > taid she. " And by the way, Nat, did ! i you see my husband on your way here ?" " Yes'm ; and he paid for me to tell 1 you he'd be home to-morror night, an' i for you not to be uneasy 'bout that money." " Oh, dear I I did so hope he'd come 1 this evening," she sighed. 1 She was indeed uneasy on account of tho money in the house. She had slept but little the preceding night for thinking of it, and bad worried about it all i through the day, and now another i lonely night was before her. As she t was preparing supper for her guest anotl^er thought came to her. Could ? she not induce Nat to stop there for the ; night ? His notion of wandering made it an uncertain request and even if he remained, with his beclouded intellect, he could not be depended on in case of i trouble. Still he would be company, i and perhaps he might aid her?she prayed for that?if she needed help. "Nat," she said, as she poured out a ' glass of milk for him, "won't you stay 1 here to-night ?' "I don't know whether it be orders," 1 he answered, uncertainly. " Parson said the King sent out His messengers, an' they wasn't to take no money nor nothin' to eat, an' I don't know if it be right to stop." " Oh, yes, it is," replied Mrs. Tracey, catching at once an idea of his thoughts. " I heard what the parson faid, too. "When the King's messenger entered a house he was to abide- there? that is to stop. Don't you remember ?' Nat considered the proposition. 1 'm fKof'a TT?a />> /-?oro T'll ofrtrv " i.tO tuav o ' ?

He said, ' Suffer little children to ocme unto me '?that is such little children as mine there," pointing to them as they stood at her side. " And the King said, too, 1 Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.' The King doesn't wish any barm to come to His little ones, in anv wav?you remember that?' 4'Yes'm," replied Nat, absently. "Well, theD," continued Mrs. Tracey, driving the concluding nail into her argument, "if any bad, kicked men should come here to.-night and try to hurt me or thepe little ones that belong to the King, you would help us, wouldn't you?" She waited anxiously for the reply. Nat looked at her vaguely for a moment, and then his eyes wandered aimlessly about the room, and then back to her, Finally he baid, quietly : " The King sent me. I'll obey or] ders." How far he understood she did not know, and all her effort could draw out no more definite reply, and with that 6he was obliged to be content. As the evening grew late she provided her guest with a sleeping place, in an adjoining room, by throwing a few quilts on the floor?for Nat would sleep no- : where else-and then she lay down, without andressing, on a bfd beside ; i ~ i A: iier cuiiurtfu. dul u watj a uzuu before 6lumber visit<d her troubled j spirit. j As for Nat, no thought of worry or j anxiety for the future was on hie mind, and he "slept the sle*pof the jast"and his dreams were peaceful. But after a time those d.-cams became disj turbed and discordant ? a voice J I seemed to be calling him from his King, i ! and presently he awakened with a j start. "Natl help! Nat, the King wants : j you!" came in smothered tones from the 1 I other room. In an instant he sprang lightly to his feet, and grasping his stick he strode : forward and opened the door. A fearful i straggle met his view as he entered. Two rough, evil-looking men were there ?one holding Mrs. Tracey, the other < the children?and the villains were evi dently trying to bind and gag their vie i tims. As Nat witnessed the scene his tall, form seemed to tower yet higher, j and a strange, fierce light gleamed fiom j his tyes. "I belong to the King!'' he than| dered. "How dare you offend His little ones ?" At this unexpected intrusion one of the burglars released his hold of Mrs. Tracey, aud sprang forward with an oath to meet him. But it was in vain. The great stick was whirled in the air, and then came down with fearful foice on the head of the villain, and he sank i senseless to the floor. The remaining i burglar hastened to his comrade's assistance, but he was like a child in the i hands of a giant, and in a moment he, i too, was helpless and motionless. Nat ] stooped and drew the two insensible i forms toward bim. i "Now bring them ropes, and I'll ' hang a"?be paused, and left the sen- ] teuce unfinished. " But there ain't no i millstones 'bont here to hang 'round ! their necksT he added, looking up bewildered. " D j you b'lieve a big rock would do? I must obey orders." " No, 1 don't believe a rock would do," replied Mrs. Tracey, smilinc: in spite of her alarm. "But they will be coming to presently; 1 would just tie their < bands and feet and leave them until i morning." ' Yes'm, so 1 will. The King said tie ; 'em hand and foot?that his orders. They won't offend His little ones any more," and in a few minutes Nat h^d them safelv secured. I need not tell of the night that followed, of bow Nat kept sleepless guard over his captives, and of boW, whnn morning oamc and help came with it, the burglars were safely lodged in the county jail. All that is easily surmised. But at last Nat was a hero?not only in his own eyes but in the eyes of all others. He bore his honors meekly and with dignity, as a right belonging to a servant of the KiDg. He accepted the numerous congratulations and handshakings, wondering, perhaps, wxiat it all meant, and replying to the questions heapod upon him with the simple statement: '*1 just obeyed orders." Nothing, however, could induce him to accept any reward for his services. The royal command was to take no bread, no '?

He still oontinued his wandering, and, as the story spread, homes aud hearts were open to him everywhere. But it was at Tracey's that he was more especially welcomed, and as the years came and went it was noticed that his visits became more frequent and his stays more prolonged. Indeed, as Tracey expresses it: " He'll get his orders to como here and die yet, I reckon ; an' he's welcome to all the care we can give him. An' I jnst believe that away up in that other world we read about he'll be as clearheaded as anybody, and in genaine earnest will be forever 'on business for the King.'"?Erskine M. Hamilton, in Our Continent. Chinese Babies. Let us suppose that the solemn bath appointed for the third day is over, which would seem to be almost a Chi- i nese baptism, and the mother to be convalescent. If the offspring be a girl there will probably be no rejoicing, but if a boy the mother will go in state to the temple freqnented by her family and offer thanks to Tien How, the qneen of heaven. The only time it was onr fortnne while in China to see a native lady of any standing was on such an occasion. A wife of Howqaa, the son of the celebrated Hong merchant, had gone to the temple of Honam to return thanks for the birth of a son. The shrine in the" temple which she was visiting had been founded by the elder Howqna in honor of his ancestors; it is a lofty hall, with roof open to the beams, closed in the rear and at the sides, but in front open ing with richly carved doors on a raised terrace surrounded by a stone balustrade and overlooking a square turfed inclosure containing two or three fine specimens of the Chinese banyan, or Fiats rcligiosn, and a pond of water covered with the broad green leaves and rosetipped flowers of the lotus, the sacred plant of Buddha, who is often repre-' eented as seated on its open Sower. Crossing this pond and skirting it were a bridge and gallery of massive stone carving corresponding with the balustrades, and communicating with the terrace. On the opposite side of the gallery was seen the rear of another shrine* colored of a deep vermiiion like the one in front, with its high arched ioof sweeping down like the curved outline of a Tartar, tent (from which the Chinese style of architecture is supposed to be borrowed), and adorned with dragons, birds and dolphins in glazed pottery of the brightest colors. Down either side stretched a line of gloomy cloisters communicating ** * 11 - 1- - t> xi i :i J: A 4 witn in? rest 01 me uuuumg. ai one end of the terrace were two or three small tables arranged with viands placed npon them, and surrounded by a considerable party of Chinese, among whom we noticed several females standing, evidently in attendance upon some lady, as in China the servants are almost invariably of the other sex. Knowing the scruples of the Chinese against admitting foreigners into the presence of the female members of their families, we turned back, and were on the point of leaving that part of the temple, no little disappointed at being unable to see the whole of the building, when two members of the group, one of whom was a son of Howqua, camo forward and requested as, if we wished, to continue our examination. We did so. The ehrine at which the ceremony was going on had been decked with flowers, whilst on the lonsr counterlike altar in front of the figure of the goddess, between the jars of porcelain and bronze half filled with sandalwood ashes in which sticks of incense were burning, and upon two square pedestals in front of the altar, were piled up pyramids of fruit and sweetmeats. On either side of these pedestals were two of smaller size, on each of which was placed a book apparently of religions service, and by its side a email wand and a hollow, red, kidney-shaped gonrd, which when struck gave a hollow and not unmueioal sound, each blow upon it marking the repetition of a prayer. These, as it were, formed the lecterns of the officiating priests, and between them, lacing the central vase on the hiphi altar, was placed a cushion and a mat on which the fair devotee might kneel and perform thekotou, or ceremony of kneeling and touching the ground with the head at certain periods during the service. At either side of the central door of the shrine stood a large bronze vaee heaped with silvered paper formed into boxes about the size and shape of steel-pen boxes, and emblematical of bars of Sycse silver, which is burned at the conclusion of the ceremony as an offer; i.- iL- n lUJf lO Llit V^'ICCU U1 J-lCttVCJLi.

Of herbeiu'y lean say nothing ; neither my companion nor myself could remember anything save a face painted a la Chinoiic, and hair tied up in the usual tea pot form, dressed with magnificent pearls, jade ornaments, and natural flowers. The golden lilies, as the inhabitants of the flowery kingdom call the crippled feet of the higher classes of their women, and the splendidly embroidered robes, attracted our attention i far more than the eyes and features, which doubtless cnght to have been our only consideration It is after this festival?not always, nf nrmrsA. rplpbrfttfld with the matrnifl cence we have described?that the relatives of the child present it either with plate or bangles of silver or gold, on which are insoribed the characters signifying long life, honor and felicity.

The dispatches from Alexandria enlarged upon the wonderful devotion and extraordiaary bravery of the gunner on board one of the British vessels who picked up a shell with a burning fuse and immersed it in a bucket of water. This was a courageous act, but it was not "more gallant than anything of the sort ever before chronicled." Daring our own war for the Union, Pays a Chicago paper, hundreds of cases as deserving of mention occurred. At Stone River, when Croft's brigade of Palmer's division was pursuing the routed Confederates on the 2d of January, they came suddenly on a reserve battery that opened en them with surprising fury. The men were ordered t j lie down, and dropped in the soft mud of a cornfield. The Confederato prtillerymea had the range, however, and poured shot and shell iuto the advance line in a way that tore some unfortunates in pieces and covered nearly every one with mud. In the mi 1st of the terrific fusillade a shell struck between two men lying fiat on the ground so near to their heads as to stun both. Dozens of men, the bravest there, closed their eyes in anticipation of the terrible scero that would follow the explosion. Bat one I Df the soldiers at whose shoulder the smoking shell had struck, digging up a handful of mud held i^afoft for a moment while he said, coolly: " Ten to one, boys, she don't bust," and then with a sort of gleeful agility he brought i his gr. at wad of mud down on the | smoking in the phallcw hole, and. "she ; didn't bust." No one thought Ge >rRe Hunt, of Company C, First Kentucky Infantry, a hero for doing that, but j possibly ho ranked as high as the; courageous gunner on the Alexandria. !

' FACTS AND COMMENTS. | How immense are the transportation interests of the United States. There are about 100,000 miles of railroad in the country, the investment value of which is ?4.600,000,000. In 1880 it carried 250,000 0C0 tons of freight, with- w out counting passengers, mails, baggage and express goods. According to census of 1880 the railroads employ 410,245 * persons.

( An Egyptian correspondent gives the t I fillnwinc interesting eossio about the , present khedive of Egypt and hiB j brothers: " Ismail Pacha, the former . khedive of Egypt, brought up his ] sons, of whom he had five, in a peculiar manner. Tewflk, as the heir apparent, and now khedive, was educated in Egypt and is a bigoted MusBulmar. The tecond 6on, Prince Housman, was D brought up in France, and is a thorough c Parisian in all his tastes. Prince Halem, 2 the third son, graduated at the Berlin university and loves his lager beer and t tobacco as well as any German; indeed a I ho is an officer of the German army. He t is said to be the ablest of all the sons of the late khedive. Prince Ibrahim is a E thorough Englishman. He studies at i j Woolwich, eats roast beef, drinks Bass' , ale, and affects bulldogs.

When using baths as curative ' means do not depend upon your hand to determine the temperature, but use a 1 thermometer. 2 Let the room be heated above sev- 1 enty degreep, and made impervious to ] draughts, i 3. Extremes of temperature are sel- < dom usefnl in health and may be dangerous to verv voudc or old persons, to in- ? valide and convalescents. i 4. Cool baths are not well borne by any one * hen cold orfatigued?during t the men6trual period, nor by many per- J sons not constitutionally robnst. ? 5. Do not bathe soon after hearty eat* e ing or drinking or when overheated; a though a cool plunge is not likely to be hurtful when somewhat overheated if it . is of but a few minutes' duration and follow d by brisk rubbing. G Before leaving a warm bath add a little cold water, unless the bath is to 0 be immediately followed by a warm bed. 0 7. Neither in health or disease is 8 there any advantage in prolonging a bath more tban fifteen minutes, and ii frmirt liafVio ahnnld nonniat mainly I b in a plnrge or a dip and a rub. r 8 If reaction or a returning glow of warmth in the skin is not made sufficient f in brisk rubbing and exeroise, a warm v drink will assist, and sometimes the use t of a mild stimulant may be necessary. t 9. The head should as a rule bo wet T proportionately with the rest of the body, 60tbat the blood circulation may . be eqnulized. 10.

The utmost we have in view, though tbe burden and the honor of performing it may fall upon ourpelves, is a work which it is essential for ever) ? country in Europe to perform, and the performance of which cannot but redound, if it be as- ? sociated with high and disinterested objects, to ? the honor of those npon whom the harden ia cast." Mr. Gladstone continued: " We do not go tc war with the Egyptian people, but to rescue them from the oppression of military tyTanny ; ? nor do we make war upon the Mohammedan religion, as Englishmen respect tbe convictions of believers in every other faith. We do not want to repress the growth of liberty in Egypt, but desire that she be prosperous.

The skiff at the time was near a t) steep cliff of rocks, whose walls were A f.wn hundred feet in height, and the 0 Indians, observing tbat the eddy was d about swallowing, the boat and crew, jumped out and clung to the rocks and ^ Qocch endeavored to do the same thing after them. He secured a slight hold a to the perpendicular sides of the cliff, slung to it only for a moment, then fell into the water and was seen no more. , Ooleman pprang from the stern of the ^ Otiff out into the river and got beyond ? the eddy, where he watched for the ap- a pearance of the boat. He had not long to wait, bat it seemed to him ages, a when he caught eight of it, bottom up- u yard, a few yards down tho river, when ? le swam after it, overtaking and cling- = ng to it. Iq this condition, for three miles, he g rent shooting" past reeks, plowing I hrough breakers and whirling about in I iddies, when he came face to face with >ne of those roaring rapids and treach >rous eddies so numerous and so dreadul in the Colorado. There was no time o lose. Another chance between life 2 md death, and that chance perhaps was ? he only one in a thousand. Theresolu- ' ion was formed one moment and exicuted the next. The skiff was in the nidst of the rapids, standing on end ; % mother breaker and over it went, j Phis was an indescribable moment I 6 Coleman, whose sole reliance tad deserted him, as he felt a ! jrieoner in the hands of death, and I hough he had scarcely Known his | itrongth before here was a desperate * ipportunity for its test, and he says that J le felt that he was a mere straw at the & nercy of a wave one second and an eddy l, he next. ^ Hero was waged a lierce and pro- n racted struggle for life botweeu a g >owerful man and skillful swimmer, * weighing 225 pounds, and first a whirl- 4 >ool and then a rapid, whose force and lize and danger can never be realized >xcept by tho man whose life was remblini? in the balance, but courage " nd human strength at last prevailed, B .nd the brave man swam on ?ver rapids and through whirl >ools for the distance of hree of as perilous miles as was prob- c< ibly ever won by man. Who can imag- ]{'J ne his feelings as he reached in safety a ,nd crawled upon the river bank, |( Fhere he lay for some time completely || ixhausted ? As soon as he had regained ulficient strength, Coleman set out for ho canon, and, shoeless and naked, j,t] ,fter a tramp of six miles over the baren, rocky mountains and through deep :anons of burning sand in the heat of . broiling pun, he arrived, his feit deeding and fearfully lacerated by tho . harp rooks.

Ee has a decided ? alent for drawing, in whioh art he has a ately become quite interested. This xercise has taken i uch a hold upon the >oy's mind that he lises in the night in ^ i complete unconscious state, and will i >nr?t.intiA tn work on an unfinished piece p if drawing with ag much skill and dexerity as though he were awake. The ~ ither night he got up and drew a head ~ rom a cast which he had drawn on paper ' luring the previous da; on the wall of his ihamber. In conversation with the /oy'fl father he said: "I can understand low a somnambulihtio subject; can go hrough certain mechanical motions, 1 )ut it is inconceivable to me how the )oy is able to draw with such perfect * Mention to every detail?to put expres- * lion into an eye, for instance, and spirit ? nto a face. He exhibited some very B jlerer drawings by the boy, partially 0 lore, as he deolared, while the little el low was in this remarkable condition. ? 3e is very desirous that the case should iave the light of a scientific investiga- L ion.
