"It will lake me a long while to forget the walks I have taken up and down these r streets looking for something to do. if my very best trying will keep it, you may he sure that there! will stick." ' Your best trying will include a great deal when others have a right to your time and efforts." "Of course, mother, I shall keep honestly in view the interest of my employer." I l?nl.ort ti.i.l fnitn/1 a ciHintinli at, flip muslin counter of a large dry goods house, it took him some little time to acquaint himeelf with qualities of goods which lie sometimes impatiently ! thought weie more in the line of woman's work, iiut he remembered that a person who cannot do what he likes, must do what he can. Unable through force of circumstances* to choose his employment, he wisely resolved to do his very best with what came to his hand. As to what that best might be, he soon found that his opinion slightly differed from that of his employers. "You needn't be so particular in measuring the goods for a customer," said Mr. .Merrill one day. "All these are assumed to be a yard wide." But she asked me the width," said Robert. 'Then you should have 9imply said that they are yard wide goods." ( !} * /?f tl^nm fu 11 11 fchnPf sir." "What is that to you?" Mr. Merrill spoke with a little impatience. "It is your place to sell goods, not to be too particular about the width of thein. There isn't oue customer iu a hundred that will go home and measure her goods if she thinks that in a general way the width is all right." "In a general way." Robert knew what was meant, for he had heard some of the ways by which some of the o-her clerks, without telling an exact falsehood, elearly avoided the exact truth. "I don't feel at all sure I've got a a place," Robert concluded in great discouragement after, during the first few weeks, he had several times given offence t<> his employer by acting firmly upon his own sense of what alone is up to the very letter and spirit of fair and honest dealing. The time seemed to have come to him, which corues to so many, iu wuiua a cuoiub must be made between worldly gain and the royal standing by the fixed principles of right and wrong in which he had been trained. "It seems to me this piece of goods is not the name make as the last I bought of you." The question was asked by a lady who frequently came to Robert's counter and always made liberal purchases without haggling over prices, or giving unreasonable trouble. "No, ma'am it is not" said Robert. "Have you any more of the same?" "No, we have sold it out." "Do you think this." pointing to a piece she Lad been examining, "is as good? It doesn't seem to me, but if . you assure me that it is, I will take it." Robert caught sight of his employer within easy hearing distance. Mr. Merrill had a way, a good way It is too, , of keeping his own aye over his own interest. And for one moment the j boy hesitated. Quickly to his mind came the thought of going hometo tell ? ?* i.?? Kq It.id locif hid ttilnj). , Ills UIUlllCl 11UU XJV HUM IWV Miv j tion for which he had searched and waited so long. Nothing else in the j place, he felt sure, was open to him. } The leaving Mr. Merrill's would mean | leaving his home and widowed moth- ] er to find emplyment elsewhere. By | a few smooth words and a trifling evasion he could easily lead Mrs. Denhy to believe he thought what lie did not think. That was one side of it. But there was a better higher, nobler, side, and Kobert will , never cease to be thankful for the j grace granted him in a moment of sore temptation. "No, ma'am." he quietly answered. | "I do not think the quality quite up j to what you bought last." "And yet it is thesame pricc?" "Yes. The other was a lot of goods which Mr. Merrill happened on at a ; forced sale, and he was able to put them low. I really think, however, that this is about as good as any you cau get for the money." "I will look a little futher," she said, , and went out. Hubert, without look ing, had felt the angry eyes of his employer, and he now heard his angry voice. "Is that the way you drive olF my I . rni.?. f r customers/ 1 nui i? uuc ui iuc u?i have. She brings iu no end of country friends." "Ini sorry if I have driven her ofl'," said Robert, "but I did the best 1 could." "Best you could?" The 'ow tone which Mr. Merrill was obliged to maintain, through danger of being overheard, lent an added rancor to his words. "Have you forgotten that your pay depends largely upou the amount of sales you make?" "No, sir, I have not." "It looks as though yon had. Well, nave you mougnior iuumu^ iui uuuw er place in which to doyourvery peculiar 'best'?'" With a weight at his heart Robert turned to attend to the wantsof another customer. He had feared this, and yet had hoped that time would have been given him in which lie might have been able to reccomeud himself, I by faithful and unremitting attention to duty, as to lead Mr. Merrill to over-1 look the matters of conscience in i which he more and more saw they ! could never agree. But here it was. He was ready to do nis very utm u.y < i Mr. Merrill, but he must do his bestl by himself also--must persevere in the' seeking of the only great best, which j means, first and foremost, faithful ser-! ' vice to the Lord. Surely he would re- j ward such service by tender cure of his own. And while still keeping eyes and wits on the alert for the duties of the hour, Robert was able to resolve ( within himself that nothing should ever turn him from the full measure of i that service. And close upon the de| termination came the peace growing out of the added resolution to accept " such fortune as might come to him us its result, even though it might, be far ; from what he would have chosen for himself. And in telling of the sorry outlook to his mother he found great comfort in her loving words. "That's right, my boy. Do your own best, and be very sure the Lord will do his best by you. Per '': ... . . liaps Mr. Merrill will not turn yo off." "Perhaps so," said Robert. "Mrs Den by came back later and bought i good lot of the good, and Mr. Alerril beard her tell me that she would tak anything I reccomended." At th entl of the month it would have beei [easily guessed by any oue who elosel, observed Robert as lie went to Mr. mei rill's ottice that his mind was not great ly perturbed as to what might be th result of the interview. Mr. Merril paid his salary withoutcomment, am was turning to oilier things when Rob ert said: "You spoke of my looking for anoth er situation at the end of the month sir." "Did I?" Mr. Merrill looked as i he had forgotten. "Oh, yes, we had i little difference ?f opinion about om or two small matter*. But we will le that pass. Kxcept on tbe points w< touched on, I do not mind saying yoi have given very good satisfact ion." "Thank you, sir. But T will giv< you the month's notice if you pleas< What's that?" Mr. Merrill gazed a him in surprise. It was he who wai accustomed to give the month's notice Could it be that this boy was leaving his employ of his own will and pleas lire? "Mr. Denby has offered me a plac< in his hardware store." "H'ui!" Mr. Merrill took a momen for rather chagrined thought as Rob ert closed the door. "That is Mrs Denby's work, of course. They know that ^perfectly reliable boys are no found every day. I know it too. Bui in spite of my knowledge I have le this one slip through my fingers?Syd ney Dayre in The Interior. The Criminals of the Future. Pretty nearly all thecrimlnals of tlx future are in our public schools to-day and we are educating tbeni?the raer who will throw our railroad trains ofl the track : put dynamite under our churches; commit outrages auc murder; perhaps burn half a city some windy night. They are in our public schools to-day and we are educating them ! The churches dc not reach them It is said that ail the churches in New York City, with every seat filled, will seat only about 2-30, while the population is about 1,400,000. The Sunday schools do not read; them. I have seen; recently, in the Sunday School World, that of sixteer millions of children in this country, 01 age, only about seven attended th( Sunday schools. The other nine mill ions of children in this country, ol school age, only about seven attendee tne sunuay scnoois. j ue uiuw mm millions never go. Many of them have no parents, or worae than none. They have little or no thought of God or immortality. They can be reached in our public schools ; and neither they nor theii parents can be reached anywhere else. I believe it is infinitely more important to the future of this nation thai they be taught kindness and mercy than grammar or arithmetic, and I am sure there is no way under heaven iti which you can better teach them kindness and mercy than by leachiug to dc kind acts and say kind words a hundred times a day to the lower creatures by whom they are constantly surrounded. Every such teaching in our public schools is not for the protection of animals alone, but for the protection ol property aud life; nay more, it is laying, in the hearts of these neglected children, preparing to become criminals, a foundation of mercy and humanity on which every church can build. ?Geo. T. A kg ell. A Kind Voice. There is no power of love so hard to ^ ? j i - i -: - - j a ifi.wl get uuu Keep as u kiiiu vuivc. n. xvmu band is dead and dumb. It may be rough iu flesh and blood, yet do the work of a touch. But there is 110 one thing which love so much needs as a sweet voice, to tell what it means and Feels; and it is hard to get and keep in the right tone. One must start in youth, and be 011 the watch night and clay, at work and at play, to get and keep ti voice which shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. It is often in youth that one gets a voice or tone which is sharp, and it sticks to him through life, and it stirs up ill will, and falls like a drop of gall upon the sweet joys of home. Watch the voice day by day as a pearl of ureat price, for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is to the heart what light is tc the eye. It is a light which sings as well as shines.?Elihu Burritt. o ?
