" Was slowing up Front street about three P.M., When the stoker looked out the window to say iThero's a cow going %cross the t-r-a-c-kay. Pensively halted the COw on the track, Burs on her pendant tail, bran on i'er back; Dreaming of summer she seemed not-to see The approach of the switch e-n-s-i-n-e. Once more the stoker spoke: "There she is now!' "Bully," the engineer quoth, "for the cow!" And, reversing his engine, he cried: "Shoo! oh,shoo' - -. Said the stoker: "Oh, shoot tne see-oh double-you." Shrilly the whistle shrieked for its alarm, And the stoker threw firewood and coals in a swarm; But the -cow never heeded, nor thought that her star Was setting at four miles an h-o-u-r. The switch engine struck her about amid ships, And her summer dreams met with a total eclipse; It mangled her carcase, most shocking to see, And threw her down Front s't-r-double e-tea. Sadly the engineer drew in his head, And "pulled her wide open" as onward he ,. sped; Bas the stoker smiled gayly; "Old fellow," said he, "There's some cheap house s-t-a-k-e."* *That isn't the way to spell porter house steak, but the right way wouldn't rhyme. SAVED IN TIME. -0 'Charity, kind sir! My poor children are starving ! The speaker was a thinly-clad woman, who shivered in the win try blast, for it was Jnnuary, and the keen frosty air penetrated even tho warm gsrments of the rich. The gentleman addressed was a man of perhaps thirty-five, a rich and prosperous man, who hoped soon to become still more rich and prosperous through an alliance with the fair girl at his side. 'Poor woman!' said Isabel How ard compassionately. 'I have left my purse at home. Walter, I am sure you will relieve her distress.' 'Of course I will, my darling. Here, poor woman, take that, and may it do you good.' As he spoke he drew from his pocket half a sovereign, and put it into the extended hand of the applicant. The poor woman's heart bound ed with joy, for she had hoped for but sispence at the best, and ten shillings seemed to her positive wealth. 'Heaven bless your generous heart !' she exclaimed with heart felt gratitude. 'Thank you,' said Walter Bar ton ,-graciously. isabel rewarded him with a beaming smile.. 'I am glad you gave the poor creature so much,' she said. 'I like generosity; 1 don't think I could esteem or respect a mean man.' 'We think alike on that subject, my darling,' said Walter. '1 never can refuse to give, even if I suse pet the object may be unworthy. It makes tme happy to make others happy.' Another beaming glance frol Isabel. 'I love you all the better for that, dear Walter,' she said in a low voice. 'On the wholo,' thought Barton, 'my ten shillings are a good in vestment, though I c-an't help grudging it to the beggar. When Isabel becomes Mrs. Barton, and 1 get hold of her hundred thou sand pounds, I shan't give many. half-sovereigns to beggars. For the present it's policy to be geni ero us.' Of co.urse Isabel could not read the thoughts of the man at, her, side. She believed him a genuine philanthrophist, while, in reality, he was a mean, selfish trard-heart ed man, yet with tact enough to overcome these traits for the sake of making a favorable impression upon the heart of the heiress. Isabel Howard was an orphan, and the absolute mistress of a small fortune for a girl of nine teen. But her fortune was by no f means her chief attraction. She i was beaut ifuil. sweet-tempered, ac- I compli:shed, and her heart was,z unimnated by the nost generous t uharity. She had a regular list of: c pensioners, and would have found f it impossible to refuse an appli- I cant wbo was in need. Doubtless' I she had often given to unworthy r ujects, but sueb mistakes rebound to the credit -of those who make r them. . As~ Isabel said, she would Have found it impossi6e to respect or r eteem a imean man. Thus far. Walter Barton had succeeded in 3oDcealing his real character fiom her, but the time was coming! when it would berevealed. When- K -ver he was with her he gave f liberally to any who asked for -barity, but at his warehouse he, I would have repulsed them with t hard and bitter words. le kept i a large clothing establishment in Manchester, but Isabel, who ived in the suburbs, bad never t been there, and knew absolutbly nothing of him in his business re- f ations. Of course there were many who I courted the favor of the young and beautiful heiress, but there I was only one who came near be ing the rival of the successful 3 suitor. This was Dri-. Percy Elgin, R young physician, who had re- a aently established himself,in the k DitV, and'was having a hard strug-, I gle to get into a lucrative prac ice, being poor and without pow rful friends. But he was essen- t ially noble, of good figure, with t i frank open face, and unusually ible and intelligent. Success 8 with him was only a matter of ime,I NWien' he saw the rich trader ' W_ gdo.hin,he quietly with Irew, disappointed, but too.lou eab1-to --atemp; to reverse Isa- s )e.a decision, now -that it appear dto be,made. t I . ~s made_, sCnd the wedding ay- was abo6t to be fixed, when n omething occurred which quite bhgid the position o7f affairs. f, Isabel' 'was walking near the t Iath6dral, when her attention was a i4racted to a girl of about her >wn age, leaning against the F bailings. The' girl was plai ly Iressed, and in her face and t ttitude was such an air of de- s pondency, that Isabel, whose ' yeart was full of compassion for ~he wretched, felt herself con strained to stop and speak to her. I. 'Are you not well ?' she asked v n a low, sympathetic voice. The girl, who was very thinly and poorly clad, looked up. t 'Yes,' she answered, 'I am well.~ -But yon are sad. You have - met with some misforttune, have you not?' .:.. 'Yes,' answered the girl, de- -I spodently. 'Will you tell me what it is? Perhaps it is something that I' can remedy. Do not think me.t inquisitive. but I really wvant to2 help you, if you will let me.'' The girl answered frankly : 'Thank you for your .kindness. It does me good, for I stand in I need of kind words.' 'Tell me, then you.r trouble,' and Isabel, in her sealskin jacket and warm velvet dress, took- the arm of the shabby creature,:and ogether they walked -along through Market street into the busiest part of town. 'My mother and I lived to gether',' explained the girl. 'We are very poor, and mother is an invalid, unable to do much. We have nothing, to live' upon' except what I earn by my needle.' 'That must be very little.' 'Yes, it is very little ; but I have been defrauded of that little. It is too hard.' 'Tell me about it. [t it pnss. ble that any one could be so mean as to cheat you out of the little you earn in that hard way ?' 'I will tell you how it happened. A week since, 1 got a bundle of waistcoats to make for a large house. The pay was very small. By 'wiorking early and late 'I could earn about eighteenpence a day.'of 'Is it possible ? I never heard o snch oppression !' said Isabel in. digunnt.v 'Well, I finished the half-doze ,nd this morning took the ound to the shop.

'Who?' exclaimed Isabel, sta led and surprised. 'Walter Barton. I bear he ngaged to a wealthy heiress, but ,on't think such a wan ca rosper.' 'I must look into this,' sai sabel, Iquickly, her face flushe, [t's more important to me th. ou -know.

'I have something important ly to him.' Walter Barton, Oii being to bis, came forward. 'Well, girl, what do you want ie,' he asked ruiely.

In truth, oldiersbip is but an in cideut of' manhood. To educate one to serve on the battlefield of his couritrv is one of the necessi ties of the times in .vbicb we live. ''This necessity will doubt 1es not soon pass away. True, Were half the power that filis the world with sorruw, It Wera haT the wealth bestowed on camps and cuurts, Given tu redeei the huian mind from error, T bere were no need of arsenals and torts. But little is given to redeem tbe human mind from error, and hence the world is yet far from that millennial era when there shall be no call for the sword. no need for arsenals and forts. And yet high and useful as military training is tor the purposes of war 1 it serves a higher and more use. ful office ir institutions of learning designed to prepare its members for the civil duties of life. It is when t1e military eleE.nt r is used as a means Lo-an end-to form character, to maintain dis cipline, to develop manLood-tha t it accomplishes its best results. I L 0 is when used to make the man rather than the soldier that it fulfils its larger mission. Usiog it as a means to an end, what bet ter than military discipline to Lt smooth the scholar's path and to surround bim with wholesome a bands, with conservative infIu ences. Consider, first, how military methods. being neither more nor a loss'than effective business meth ods, ft. the youth for the practical 0 duties of life. The military way of reaching the object-what is it but the true business way ? Whati is the rule for business ? it a certain piece of work is to be done, the man of business habits does it- promptly, systematically, thoroughly. What. -now, are promptness, system and thor-ough ness but military qualities? Mr. e James Partou, in a lecture on the -Kings of Business.' the uncrown ed but sceptred monarchs of the IImart. finds the secret of their sue eess in honesty, knowledge, self control, resolution and perseve ance. What are these but mnili tary qualities-wbat out. suctr s ol dierly characteristics as are imp)ressed on the studecnt, sub jected to military rule ? UWe bold that military training, in every well-ordered .educational scheme, is a valuable instrumen tality. Apart from its pre-paring the young cit izon to meet the issues of war, it is, when rigrhtiy understood andu inteligentif administered, the most convenient and efficient of all dterpinary methods. To destablish dispro4nsitionj, we pro pose to consider the leading clo ments of the military discipjlin.e .that we would introduce into, the . school and the academy. What are these elements ? S First, we suggest that military discipliue is not mechanical. If' the habit is mechanical, the spirit er underlying the habit i oa n intellectual. In the second place, military ntdiscipline is niot slavish. They er wh consider itaslavish cd ut understand little about it and de grade, it, fo: :.be basis of military 50discipline is duty-duty which, the samntly lierbert says, gives e-music at midnight, and which th Gen. Lee calls the subiimest word nd in the English language. The 'true iliar idea contemplates duty as honor and honor as ed duty. or Again. military -disciplinc em ebraces the idea of self-control. ng The creed of' the world is self ye indulgence. The doctrine of Christ nd 'is self-restraint. Th'le soldier, as as the loyal subject of wholesome law, is called upon, from the very natare of abligations. to illus an trate that 'prudent, cautions self at control' whieh Burns calls 'Wis n ; doma's root.' Or, as another writer a~ expresses it, 'that self-knowledge, , et.mrerence. self control' which 'alone lead life to sovereign pow er.' The soldier must practice self-comMarid, because he only is 5tted to on!iand wh o first knows Low tviieeoi., and who accepts the .ounrd j~ppgition that obedience zobooraedIc. Military discipline ehibraces the dea idea of impartiality, of fair. )ess of just dealing. The officer, n the discharge of his trosts, nust do duty without regard. to avor or affection. He must re ;ognize neither friend nor foe, but nust be just and do justice, come what may. And lastly, military discipline mbraees the idea both of court sy and courage. The soldier niust not, in the sterner duties of be warrior, omit the courtesy of .be. Ghristian gentleman.. He iould take for his model sueh a ,baracter as the gallant and ac-. ,oinplished. Sidney, distingaished iike as scholar and, soldier, of wixom it has been- said. th4t his ofty career suggests the idea of high thoughts seated in a heart :f coirtesy.' Above ji Lbings, the. soldier 4sould be brave to do duty. - Reso: ute for the right. loyal to bis obli. gations, he should defy the laugh or the sneer or the throat, and iMarch unawed along the highway of duty, tbough the path be tinty and the roadside tbrny, know, ing that beyond are heights upon wiich blo.on beauteous fowers, upon wbich precious fruits grow, around which there breathes a pure atmospbere, and upon which which a 'divine glory- settles, as the sunlight gilds some Alpine erest and makes it radiant amid the clouds. Thus mating duty, self contro4 justice, courtesy and'courage the component parts .of military dis cipline, it follows that its effect ii to strengthen the Will, to elevate the morals, to refine the manners in. fine, to promote a character at ouce graceful,'robust and efficieni, and to consummate a vigoroie and enlightened'manhood.. Grr HOME.-We would have every true man build:fbr himself a home, be it ever so humble in itE beginning. Industry and frugality and 'good judgrment will make ol it the most lovely bpot on. earth. The rman without a home is like a sojourner 'witbhout a country. Tbd richest happiest, and the best mnai in the wide world is he who has's pretty, comfortable .home of hii own, a- family, good health, -and owes no man a cent, even though his entire worldly possessions wonrld niot sell for a thousand doc jars, and though iac has never beid so higihvan office as town constab4e or roadmaster. ~e soriietinhes feel eonstrairiec to doubt whether a man withouta home can*:att best be..bu tzan in different citizen andi a more in; different p:ttrioet.
