A STORY.
\ aSPLOVING A FALSE1oo.).
PREFACE.
It is as much the duty of writers
to correct error as to propagate the
truth.
When an error is newly born it
is very puny and weak; but if left
alone a few years it becomes strong
enough to wield a bludgeon which
[s potent enough to batter the cred
lity of the most conscientious of
uen.
The poet has said, in effect, that
rutth would get well again if' Jeffer
son's Rock were to fall on her
ind smash her as flat as a flounder,
while Error will take cold and die
if she breaks the nail off her little
oe.
This is not true. We hav'e seen
Truth, that was as true as sunshine.
too weak to brush away a feather's
weight of opposition. and we have
seen Error, grown to be a giant,
stride up a lill, bearing on its
shoulders a whole host of its anto
onists.
A neat artifice of language some
times carries a lie . long way. A
man who is skilled in the use of
words may tell a lie which nine out
f every ten men would fail to de
tet. Sometimes it is the beauty
of the verbiage, sometimes a
shrewd trick of double entendre,
that deceives the people. IIowever
that may be, the people are dleceiv
ed and not half of them know it
and of those who do know it not
half know how it is done.
The object of this story and thiis
preface is to dispose of a fallacy.
Some writer has said 'the course
of true love never yet ran smooth."
It is false, and in all probability the
wrters own experienice proved its
falsity; but in order to know how
false it is, be pleased to hear a
tale.
CHAPTERI1.
WIIICII TREATS OF TWO PAIR.s OF
PARIENTS.
John Smith and Saul .Jones were
farmer neighbors and neighborly
farmers.
No one in all the county had such
fine horses as John Smith, except
Saul Jones, and no one had such
fine hogs and cows as Saul Jones,
except John Smith.
They frequently helped each
other 'out of the grass,' aided each
other at harvest or threshing time,
and were never known to have a
difference of opinion about the post
and-rail' fence which separated
their farms. Each was a man after
the other's own heart.
"They lived in pleasure without end,
For each one felt he had a friend;
And all their lives' smooth journey
through
Each did as 'tothier wished him to."
CHAPTER II.
IN WHICH JoHN SYITH, JR., APPEARs.
John Smith had a son wl:o was
named John. This was dona to
pesaerve the illianoa natrnnwic,
and transmit it furtler, as his sire
and his sire's sires had done from a
riod of time that is not nwntioned
in any of the annals of haldry.
.John Swita, -Jr., was able to g,o
to nill with grist when he was ten
years old.
IIe went to school during the win
ter months, and generally was
'next to head* in a class composed
of himself and an other boy. The
other boy was smaller than he. and
that is. perhaps, why John suffered
him to remain -head.' John stood
-head,' however. one whole week.
while the other boy was at home
sick with the measles.
John had th-; measles, mumps,
whooping cough, went swimningr on
Saturday evening, dug for chip
munks, and set traps for rabbits
and squirre!3 very much as other
boys (10 at his age.

CIIAPTER III.
IN WHICH A YOUNG LADY IS E
IIELD.
Saul Jones had a daughter, whose
name was Catharine-as her mother's
name was before her. She was
called Kitty for short. That had
been her mother's pseudonym.
The only remarkable thing about
her juvenility was that she tore her
pin-a-fores, soileA her dresses, tan
gled her hair, broke her mother's
China tea cups, wrote bad compo
sitions at school, and swung on
b,nt saplings, just as all other good
little girls do who live to be heroi
nes in 'novels' founded on fact."
Of course her eyes were blue, or
she would never have been a fit
hoerine for a love story. Her hair
was chestnut color, but somewhat
sun-bleached around the edges.
In her younger days she would run
bare-headed in the sun a great deal
consequently her face became as
reckled as the turkey eggs she
used to bring in from the edge of
the wood every evening.
As she grew older she staid in
doors a great deal more, lost her
reckles, became fair, round and
,osy, and learned to cook bacon
ind cabbage, make tarts. puffs and
mincepies, an I could manipulate a
udding. or i.iilk a cow. and her
nother was v, ry proud of her, and
leclared that Kit ty was the handiest
irl she ever saw. And always,
xihen the mnot;er had concluded her
-hapsody, Saul Jones declared that
Kitty was for all the world just like
er mother used to be.
The neighbors all loved Kitty
cery much, and more than a dozen
goung mn made eyes at her on
Suny. while they pretended to
>e listening to the sermon of Rev.
Sr. Putemasleep.

thoughts that were in Kitty's mind.
Both then stood a great while with

while whittling the top bar with his

At last John said he had a great

--I've come this way all er long."
"But where were you when you

WELL. MIET.--There," she said
as she raised a window in a Pull
man car the other day; "now I can
breathe. The air in this car is sti
fiing. Why don't they hlave better
ventilation?~ If' I couldn't sit next
to an open1 windlow I beliceve I
should die."
Presently a slender fem ale sitting
directly hack leaned over and ask
ed her if she wouldn't just as lieve
close that window now, as the
draught was more than she could
stand.
"No. madam. I shall not close
this window. I could not live with
it down. I was just thinking how
delightful it was with it open, now
you want it shut. b)ut I shall not
shut it; so there."
"Then y,ou are a selfish thing,.
and I shall have to change my
seat."
.Just then a gentleman sitting
close by reached over and said :
'Ladies, that wind 2w being raised,
make no difference, as this car' has
double windows, and not a br2athl
of air can possibly get through the
one that is still down."
Then the one that had raised the.
window turned to the other, and,
with a crushed look on her face.
said : "3Madam, I beg yon pardon,
but I think two fools have met at
last."
Dunning, when in the full flushl
of celebrity at the bar was asked
how he got through such an accum
ulation of business, IIe replied:;
"Sonme I do, some does itself, and

Among the young p)ople in a

simple-minded youth of the smallest
possible amount of wit consistent
with moral respousibility. But be
ing sincerely anxious to join the
churcl, he presented himself to the
church committee. The first ques
tion put to him was.
"Do you understand the doctrine
>f the trinity?"
"No, I can't say I do."
,,Can you give the committee a
lefinition of regeneration?"
"I don't think I can '

-Can you give us some opinion
respecting God's decrees?'
"Fm afraid not."
"Well then," said the minister, a
little impatiently, "what do you
know?" Promptly came the answer,
.,I know that I'm a sinner, and I
know that Christ died to save me.
And I want to join the church to
get more help from Christ and His
people."
Every member of that committee
felt rebuked, and one of them said
afterwards, "I learned from that
moment to respect the spiritual
knowledge of the humblest man or
woman. and not to think so much

the head alone."-Youth's Compan

Toin R. has a young brother and
a young lady sister, and Tom R. is
a hard one to keep up with. His
sister had a beau the other night,
and just as the conversation be
caie interesting the little brother
walked in.
-Well,' said his sister, 'what do
you want here ?'
I want to whisper something to
you.' was the reply.
iTisn't polite to whisper in coin
paiy, speak out like a little man.
-Oh, I don't like to.'
iYes, but you must, so Mr. J. can
see how bright you are.'
'All right then. Brother Tom
told me to ask you what was the
date of your last bustle, for he can't
find to-days paper high or low, and
he left it in your room just before
supper.
Tom left on the midnight train
for a trip South, and his house is
not expecting him back before the

TIlE FOUR TR UTiHS.
There was once an old monk
who was walking through a forest
with a little scholar by his side.
The old man suddenly stopped and
pointed to four plants close at hand
The first was just beginning to peep
above the ground; the second had
rooted itself pretty well into the
earth: the third was a smart shrub;
whilst the fourth and last was a
full-sized tree. Then the old monk
said t) his younger companion:
-'Pull up the first."
The boy easily pulled it up with
fingers.
-'Now, pull up the second."
The youth obeyed, but not so
easily.
"And the third.'
"But the boy hal to put forth
all his strength and use both arms
before he succeeded in uprooting it
'-And now said the master, "try
your hand upon the fourth."
But lo! the trunk of the tall tree
grasped in the arms of the youth,
scarcely shook its leaves; and the
little fellow found it impossible to
tear its roots from the earth. Then
the wise old monk explained to his
scholar the meaning of the four
trials.
--This, my son, is just what hap
pens with our passions. When
they are very young and weak, one
may by a little watchfulness over
self, and the help of a little self
denial, easily tear them up; but if
we let them cast their roots deep
down into our souls, then no human
power can uproot them-the almigh
ty hand of the Creator alone can
pluck them out. For this reason,
my child, watch well over the first
movements of your soul, and study
by acts of virtuc to keep your pas
sions in check."
SUCCESSI-TUL LoVE.-There are men
who rise from a low station to a
throne; and it certainly must be a
grand and triumphant sensation
which they experience when first
they sit in the seat of sovereignty,
and feel their brows pressed by the
golden circlet of command, witE
the gmeat objects of ambition all
attained, the struggle up the ascent
to power accomplished and the end
reached for which they.have fought,
and labored, and watch through
many a weary day and night. But
the exultation of that moment, great
as it may be, is nothing to that
which fills the heart of youth in the
first moment of successful love.
The new-throned usurper must be
well-nigh weary of repeated
triumphs; for the step to the throne
is but the last of many fatiguing
footfalls in the path of ambition.
iIe, too, must foresee innumerable
dangers and difficulties around; for
the experience of the past must
teach him that in his race there is
no goal, that the prize is never
really won, that he may have dis
tanced all others, but that he must
still run on. Not so with the lover
in the early hour of his success;
his is the first step in the coarse of
joy, andl the brightest because the
first.
Fresh fr-om all the dreams of youth,
it is to him the sweetest of realities;
unwearied with the bitter task of
experence, he has the capability of
enjoyment as well as the expectation
of repose. The brightne-s of the
present spreads a veil of misty
light over all that is threatening in
the futura; and the well of sweet
Iwaters in the heart seems inex
haustible.

"How tall would you think I was?"
asked Crimsonbeak of some friends,
as they stood chatting on the street
the other night.
"Oh. about five feet se- a inches,"
guessed one.
"Not right," replied the beacon
light; ".I stand five feet nine inches
in my boots.'
'-You don't do anything of the
kind !" came from a voice on the
outside of the circle.
"What's the reason I don't !' ex
claimed Crimsonbeak, moving to
ward the spot with a bad look in
his face.
--Because you don't stand in your
boots at all," replied the little man
who Crimsonbeak recognized as his
shoemaker; "and the sooner you
come around and pay me for them
the better !"
Crimsonbeak's previous engage
ments demanded his immediate at

'-We have for many years studied

it remains a marvel to us that there

WVe never knew a man to advertise
his wares liberally and steadily that
it did not pay. Yet there are
thousands of manufactures and tens
of thousands of men, having articles
which they declare ought to be 'in
every household 'n the country,'
who advertise a gingerly and close

unless some knowledge of the arti

might wait for years before the
most wonderful and useful inven

H A ND A ND HEAD -It has been
the fashion to separate handwork
from headwork, is if the two were

and mechanics, the other for pro

was for the poor, the other for the
rich. But we are gradually learn
ing that their harmonious union is
ihe only means of the perfection of

want one man to be always think

ing, and we call one a gentleman
and the other an operatilr ; whe.
as the workman ought often to b
thinking and the thinker often to
be working, and both shoald be
gentlemen in the best sense. The
mass of society is made up of mor

ers. It is only by labor that thought
can be made healthy, and only by
thooght that labor can be made
happy. and the two cannot be sep
