"Not one la wasted, ray son." was the reply. v "But yon put them in the ground." That is that they may grow. Each seed will bring me back as many as fire squashes." The lad asked no mem questions, but entered, the hut and got the family elock and walked out with it under his arm.

A Wayfarer's Opinion. A wayfarer who had reached the foot of a long hill sat down to rest himself before going farther, and while oe was ua&mg ms ease a rcasam appeared driving a loaded Ass before him. The beast plodded along willingly enough until he found the ground rising sharply under his feet, and then he stood still and refused to bndge another foot ' The Peasant called him names and made threats and at length gave him a vigorous beating with a club, but all CALLED HIM NAMES AND MADE THREATS. without avail.

"Nothing extraordinarily good." replied the Wayfarer as he stopped to pick a pebble out of his shoe. "First, had you taken the other road and skirted the hill you; Ass and his burden would have been two miles ahead ere this. "Second, when your Ass balked you lost twenty minutes in swearing in a language he did not understand and ten more in administering blows 1 lid not feel. "Third, when you found he was determined not to proceed you could have removed his pack and carried It up without a loss of breath, but you waited to push both Ags and pack. "Fourth, having now arrived at the top of ithe hill and having done me the honor to ask my opinion of the affair, I will say"? "You'll ?ay that I'm another, of conrse." "Nay. my friend.

He never scored a touchdown, and he never kicked a goal. Poor old father never won a wild crowd's approbation. The praise of cheering thousands never thrilled him to the soul. I Alas for noor old dad! What a sad life lie has had!" He never won distinction by his vaulting I with a pole. Poor old father never joined a Beta or a Sigma. He had to earn his living at a very tender age. He never hazed a freshman and escaped without a stigir.a. Nor with a glee club ever set his foot on any stage. ;? He has wasted all his days ? Plodding in prosaic ways. jj And his name was never printed large \ on any sporting page. j Poor old father never had a chance to he | a hero. ? He never won approval from the captain $ of his team. ... 3 All his triumphs have amounted to a poor ' > and simple zero. 3 His life was never brightened by a soli- ? - tary gleam. ? Poor old chap, he never boweu To a howling, whooping crowd. He lias never guessed what gladness j comes to one who is supreme. \ Poor old father! All his life has been in- j consequential. He never did a thing to cause an eager mob to shout He never had the knowledge that his presence was essential To keep dear alma mater's hopes from going up the spout.
