The Brightest Gift. One day when the studies were over, e schoolmaster took from his desk i odd-looking box with pictures of rds painted upon it. He called the ys to his desk and told them that he id brought each one of them a little esent. Then, while they stood ound, he drew out of it some white id pink shells and some pretty toys, liich he gave to them with kind and easant words. But the most lovely thing of all was little statue of an angel. She stood ith her small white hands folded er her breast, and her face uplifted, id appeared so fair and so pure that e children gazed at her with eyes 11 of joy. They had never seen anying like it. "This little angel is too lovely to be ven to any child who is not good id true of heart. But the one who ings me to-morrow the brightest ing on earth shall have the angel for s own." The children looked at each other, >t feeling sure that they understood e master. But he said no more, and ey went home. The next day, after the lessons were lished, the children gathered around e master to show him what they had ought. Borne had picked up sparkig stones by the roadside; one had lished a small piece of silver until shone like a mirror; another had ought a watch-crystal which his faer had given him ; and Henry, the Bichant's son had brought a breasti), with a stone set in its center that one like a diamond. 'Ah, mine is the brightest!" cried jnry. 'But where is little Carl?" asked ister Lewis, looking around. "We i) not decide until Carl brings his ofing." At that moment little Carl, the ba r's only son, came running into the jm. In his hands, held up lovingly ainst his neck, was a snow-white ve. Some red drops upon its downy ( i-astshowed that it had been hurt. 'O, master!" cried Carl, S,I was jking for something bright when I me upon this poor dove. Som i cru- , boys were throwing stones at it, and . uiuglit it up quickly and ran here. , I am afraid it will die !" Even as he spoke the dove closed its ] ft eyes; it nestled closer to Carl's ' ck, dropped its little head and died. , O'arl sank upon his knees beside the ! ister's desk, and from his eyes there ' 1 upon the dove's broken wing two ii-8, large and bright. ( rhe master took the dead bird from i hands and laid it tenderly upon j i desk. Then, turning to the school- , ya, he said : '"My children, there is brighter tiling on ear;h than a tenr, pitying tear." 'Give the white angel to little rl!" cried the boys. "We know w what you meant; and his ofler; is better than any of ours." i ( .. ] Helping the Boys. Don't frown on the boys' enthusias- I "crazes," as we may please to term I em, over one thing and another. I 1 these innocent hobbies tide boys er places which otherwise might be < led with amusements not innocent, i lere is marble time and baseball i tie?knees to be protected and patch, baseball suits to be made or bought, i it these things are not costly purases; so get them. If the boy has 1 5ni on his father's premises to in- i lge in another craze, it is poultry- i eping. His favorite literature he ids in poultry magaziues, and his I jrcations in caring for liis fowls, ley may not be found a paying in- ] stment financially, but they are a ying investment in a certain way. i it after a time, the hard work con- i cted with poultry-raising may give j ice to the lighter one of rabbit-feed- i and for the time being, every boy the community come9 into the yard , see the family of pretty white rab- 1 s, which are being so well cared for. i it there comes a day when rabbits i not as much of a pleasure as imp-collecting would be, and the ; bbitsare sold to procure money to vest in a stamp album. Then the i tograph album comes in for considition next, and all the family, the tellers and school companion^ in- ] iding the minister %nd other choice j ends, are asked to contribute to the ges of the autograph albums. Country boys have plenty of range their schemes in out-of-door pasties; but city boys are hemmed in, en times, in such a way that it re- ( ires considerable tact and financier- , ? to keep them innocently, but hap- j ,y employed. Time and money and ' terest in boys' "crazes" of these nds, pay a good dividend, and rants should help on the carrying out them, and consider them of imporace enough to be looked into by faer's more practical experience and other's more patient endeavors.? /angelist. ??? The Secret. ?I once knew a young llegiau who, they told me, was makg a deeper impression on his fellow idents and professors than any other ident who had been in the institu>n for years. I heard of him evtryiiere, in all the clubs, and meetings, d delegations that were talked of bere me this man's name was appearg, and I marveled much at his enorous capacity for work. At last one the professors, speaking of him in e most glowing terms, threw in, in e middle of his eulogy, a sentence ?on which I put my finger at once as e cluc to the secret by which he ac 1:-1. _ ,1 mn n ir tliinora?tf)f? mpil^UCU 1/liO iUUll J IMaugw any, very probably?which he unrtook.

Osborne, Isle of Wight, is Queen Victoria's seaside residence. Many years ago, when the Prince of Wales was a lad, he was one day playing on the beach, when he spied a baa* ket of fish. Thirsting for fun, he overturned the basket and sent the fish sprawling into the water. The young owner?a boy about the prince's agesoon returned, and, enraged at the loss of the day's toils, attacked the perpetrator, giving him a vigorous beating; whereupon his Royal Highness flew angrily to the castle. "Know ye, lad, who ye've been laying hands on?" asked a fisherman, approaching ; "it's none other than the heir to the throne !" Consternation filled the mind of the boy and all his family, still more when, in the evening, a summons came from the Queen to that youth, to present himself at Osborne Castle. j The little fellow started with trem- r bling, thinking over all the fireside r tales that his child-ears had heard, of f( chains and "dungeon keeps," tortures r and the ax, cheerful musings to ac- D company his slow, reluctaut steps up j( the avenue to the castle. His agitated ^ little brain was trying to frame a r speech in defense; but, when he was 0 ushered into .the royal presence, every word deserted his lips, and he could a not lift his eves from the floor. << "Are you the boy that dared whip t my son, the Prince of Wales?" asked ^ the Queeu, sternly. v "I be, y'r Maj'sty," he replied, trera- v blingin eyery limb; "aim I beg y'r j( pardon, y'r Maj'sty." p ' You don't even try to evade the ? truth," said the Queen. "What pro- r voked j'ou to do it?" ? "They?they?" the boy hesitated, f, still trembling, "thjey was my father's ft Hsb, y'r Maj'sty. Didn't Know 'twas e his Royal Highness." "Ah, I begin to understand." Then, h turning to the prince, she asked, t< "What did you do to his fish ?" n "Wanted to see if they'd swim," said the heir apparent, examining the a figures on the carpet; "so I tipped the f, basket a little." h The Queen turned to the fleher-boy, and said: "You are a brave lad for de- n fending your father's possessions. Of ? 3uch metal may my artny .be made? ^ Here is a guinea for your fish, and M next time the prince, in his eagerness for knowledge, overturns your basket, n give him another whipping, and you j shall have two guineas from his t< purse." r A lighter-hearted boy. never weut out of castle-gates, and a light-hearted b father was ever after loyal to Eng- 0 land's justice-loving Queen.?Treasure-Trove. ?

During a morning walk a merchant who was detained by business in Amsterdam, came to a gioup of men C1 standing around a well, into which a strongly built man had just been let down. A pipe, whose mouth was at '8 the top of the well had been opened di and a stream of water from it was flowing down into the well aud beginning gradually to fill it. The fellow below had quite enough to do if he did 01 not want to be drowned, to keep the . water out by means of a pump which was at the bottom of the well. The e, merchant, pitying the man, asked for oi an explanation of what seemed a *? heartless, cruel joke. "Sir," replied E an old man standing near, "that man is healthy and strong ; I have myself h) ottered him work twenty times, never- A theless he always allows laziness to get the better of him; and will make any 1 excuse to beg his bread from door to Si door, though he might easily earn it himself by work it he liked. We are ni now trying to make him feel that he y( can work. If lie uses tne suengiu i0 which is in his arms he will be saved, ? if he let them hang idle he will be s< drowned. But look." continued the . old Dutchman, as ne went to the <3, edge of the well, "the fellow finds out that he has got muscles; in an hour b< we shall let him out with better reso- oi lutious for the future." Such was the f0 case, and the cure was effectual. V) .??. .... ... h Give your boy an education, a good li sduoation; all the education he is willing to take.
