If any <?f you have ever experienced hat may he termed a sudden giving lit of energy, you can understand how j ?ed Ml as he stood beside t lie remains j f that wood-pile on the beautiful Sat-j irday morning <>t which I write. He I ouhin't have explained it himself, but ie felt that to touch a single stick of tiat wood was the one thing in the, ride world that he could not possiblvj ring himself to do. Ned\s father had j let with some pretty serious losses hat spring, and Net! was so anxious to j ielp him bear the burden, that of his wn accord he had ottered, as soon as chool closed, to do all the work about j he place for which they had been ac* * I - r . t I ustomeU to lure a man. jus uuuci ; ras very much pleased ; more?though i erhapsXed could not have understood j liat?at his having made the oiler liati for the saving of money that the | Her meant, tlioughthat was most wel-i ome. And so each morning ha got | p early, and, before he was called to reakfasl, had fed tlie horse and cow, i one the milking, and even accom- j lished a litile wedding. When the food arrived he attacked that, doing a I ittle each day till on Friday night lie I ad been able to answer in theallirma-1 ive his father's question as to whether he wood would all be stored in the hed so that the yard could he neatly leared up for Sunday. On Saturday moruiug early his fathr and mother had gone from home to i*it a relative several mnes away, uuu i rouId not return till Monday. ' You'll be sure and have the yard j leared up this morning, won't you, ?ed ?" hid father asked, as they sat at I reakfast. "Yes, sir," replied Ned, promptly. "And if you want to have Charlie ere to spend the nights with you, you tin do so," his mother said, smiling cross the table at him. "Xora will et anything that you ask her to for our meals, and I am sure that you rill enjoy yourself very much." Hut when they had driven away, nd Ned, after watching them out of ight, had gone over to the remains of lie wood-pile?why, then that sudden >athing came over him, and he stood j herewith the axe in his hand regard-' L?g the innocent sticks with an ex-j ression of simple disgust upon his ice. It was such a beautiful morning!; 'he sky was lull 01 sou wmie ciouus irhich kept casting the most lovely j hailows upon the sides of the moun-J lins; the river down at the foot of the I ills looked like a blue ribbon as iti round away through the meadows and ! n.ler the bridges ; and as for the birds! -well, as Ned himself expressed it as e stood listening tothem, "They were jst shouting for joy at being alive nd not having any wood to chop!" He looked down at the wood and lien oil* to the glittering, shining rivr. If lie only had money to hire a oat (to own a boat was the dream of Jed's life) and go floating oil down the ; wiftly-Howing stream, rowing when ie felt so inclined, or lying back watch- j ag the clouds or the pretty banks as! hey passed them by ! He would stop i top for Charlie, whose home was on j he river a mile below, and they would ! ave their lunch on a certain little is* j md. But no; before they went there liey would try some fishing, for, | hough the day was rather bright, there, fas a spot where the trees met in an j rch overhead, casting deep, still shad- j ws on the water, where they were al-l ost certain to get enough to make a! ery plesant addition to their noonday ! weal. What a delightful picture for a farm summer morning! .Ned had eated himself upon the chopping logj s he let his fancv wonder through i hese pleasant paths, and by the timej hat the fishing grounds had been j euched, as he imagined himself and 'harlie seated beneath the trees upon j he island, the fish broiling in the coals' efore them (he could almost smell the j lelicious odor,) Ned had nearly per-j uaded himself that lie must make it! II real. The more he thought about t the more impossible his task apleared? as was quite natural. And then, having played so long| villi the temptation, another natural hing happened. The Enemy, who is .lways lingering around oil the watch or just such opportunities, whispered ] ometliingsoftly in his ear. Ned looked .t the axe which he hail been holding n his hand, and from that to the wood, ['lien he glanced toward the house, iut 110, Nora would not know the diference, she had not heard what his ather said to him, and so it would be |Uite, quite easy to tell her that he was J ;oing up the river with Charlie (to be ure they would have to walk, for the mat was out of the question to boys vithout the necessary fifty cents,) and night not be back till after dinner. -Ie could get up early 011 Monday norning and finish the wood and clear l'? ui, fli.it it ii'Miilil lu> fill rhrilt vhen his father returned ; ami he vould never think of asking hiui if he lad kept his promise and gotten all in >rder for Sunday. "He always trusts ,-ou, yon know." Ah! the Kneuiy had gone too far his time ! At the thought of how his atherdid trust him, a sudden little jolor glowed in Xed's brown cheeks. In a llash he was on his feet, bringing be ?xe down upon the stick which lie lad tossed across the log, with blows calculated to divide one twice the size ; md if you had been very close you night have heard the word, "Sneak !" ;oiue from between his tightly closed ips. He was thoroughly ashamed of :ttid distrusted and humiliated, por he had always prided himself upon jeing what he termed "above hoard." IJut he hadn't yielded, and that was >ne small comfort! He worked with nieh good will that he more than made tip the lime which lie had lost, and presently the la.-t stick was liuished ind in the shed. Then he brushed that free of chips and bits of bark, and made a little heap of such for "quick kindlings." After that he returned to where the pile had been and began the same process there. JJut at almost the lirstchip which lie picked up hepuused. There seemed to lie something very peculiar about it, for Neil held it in his bands and gazed at it as though it had been a ghost. And it was not much to be wondered at either; at least it has not been my experience to find fresh crisp dcllar billsand notespinned to chips beneath wood-piles. Kor that : Vu,|lu Iv.wl ..in .iu>l I,, it ir-? \> nut vvi o * 1111r iium ?" AfU'i' h? luul Dually convinced himself I of (hat fact, lie slowly opened and rea the note. It said : Dear Ned: lean almost guess th time that you will find this and the en closure. Vou will have finished cut ting and putting away the wood, an then you will gather up the chips 11 clearing the yard, for I know that in: one wiil he left to disfigure the plac over Sunday. This will be about hall past ten?ami right??and that wil leave plenty of time for you to fiuisl up nicely before dinner. After that want you to take this money, ge Charlie, and go oil' for a pleasure tri this afternoon. You can for a rid on the train, or <jet a boat and spend i on the river. You have well eame< the treat by your faithfulness, atv have not only saved me a great (leal o money, but have taught me that I cai depend upon you. Have a good time Ever your loving Father. Of course you can truess what Ned' lir.->t thought was ! Yes, you are right it was gratitude that he had not for feited his father's good opinion. H felt as though he could never hav looked him in the face again had h yielded to the impulse to deceive him And then?suppose that he had no ftitnirl flint linta fill TVTnnitnv morninor . ?V.V** ..wvw .... '"J O Perhaps the afternoon was even pleas anter than the morning would hsiv been ; at any rate it seemed so to Ned as lie lay in the bottom of the boa gazing up into thegreen network abov him when Charlie took his turn at th oars. Then that supper on the island with the fish broiling on the wooi coals, just us Ned had pictured them He thought that he had never tastec such delicious fish, never felt such de lightful air, never seen skies or field or river so beautiful before, and won dered that Charlie did not seem to se and feel things as he saw and fel them, never guessing that it was th consciousness of temptation resistei which made the world so fair.

Ii A gold watch, richly set with diaI j nionds, particularly caught his atteu!t I lion, aud be could not forbear taking p it in his hand. Immediately the wish e rose in his miud, "Ah ! if you had t such a one !" 'After a pause he said to il himself, "But if I take it I shall be a il thief; and yet," coutinued he, "noif body would know it; nobody sees me n ?nobody ! Does not God sees me, who i iu ovaiMMi'haro 9" hu tbe.se thought, a cold shivering seized s him. "No," said he, putting down '. the watch, "I would much rather be poor, and keep my good conscience, e than rich and become a rascal." e At these words he hastened into the e chimney. ! The lady, who was in the room adjoining, having overheard the converI nation with himself, sent for him the ,* next morning, and thus accosted him : e "My lit'le friend, why did you not take I the watch yesterday ?" [ The boy fell on his knees, speechless nnrl nutntiiuliorl e "I heard everything you said," conI tinued her ladyship; "thank God for j enabling you to resist this temptation, r and be watchful over yourself for the I future ; from this moment you shall be in my service: I will both maintain H and clothe you : nay, more, procure you good instruction, which will assist to e guard you from the danger of similar t temptation." e The boy burst into tears; he was j anxious to express his gratitude, but could not. The lady strictly kept her promise, had the pleasure "of seeing this poor chimney-sweeper grow up a good, pious and intelligent man."?From "Dillwyu's Anecdotes." Felloe*. All boys and girls have, at some time ' or other, enjoyed listening to echoes. r An echo is a sound wave, reflected aud repeated by striking an opposing surface. There are some very remarkable echoes. A writer in 1760 declares that near Milan there was an echo ' that repeated the report of a pistol shot r. sixty times but no such echo is now known. Sir John Herschel states that there was an echo at Woodstock ,. Park that repeated seventeen syllables i- in the daytime aud twenty at night. I n 18H9 Dr. Page noticed one at Belvi' dere, in the State of Mew York, that : repeated three syllables eleven times, ' and that with ereat distinctness; and i IT A.? -\7~ rt aiSO 111 r ainax WUUl-Ji va., luaucpcai,ed thirteen syllables three times. Other wonderful echoes are those of the Wetterhoru, or Jangfrau, one near t. Coblentzand oneat the lakes of Killarney. There is a gallery in Europe L* called the "whispering gallery," be:, cause anything uttered in the faintest , 1 whisper is echoed back in very loud \ f tones. The boy who goes out with a bright t; happy face will see his good humor re! llected in other faces ; but he who goes - j out sullen and frowning will be apt to ; find frowns upon every face he meets. * j I have somewhere read of a little boy, i.j wlio, with ascrowl on his face, looked , into a large and beauifut mirror. Of course he saw a scrowling boy, |and, not stopping to notice that it was ' | only himself, became very angry; the >., boy in the glass also became angry, and only when the real scrowling boy, ' in a lit of temper, had brokeu the miry ror did he discover that he had struck >f at his own imagine. Grown persons, J[ like this silly boy, often go through life i) angry at others, when it is themselvas d at fault. 1 y At the great day of judgment the words and deeds of lifetime will be ! echoed back. How important it is e i that we only utter pure, truthful, and . loving words, and that we perform 'only kind and noble deeds!
