V-, I stepped into a bookstore in
Cincinnati in search of soeuo books that
I wanted. While thcro, a little ragged
boy, not over twelvo yours of ngo, cauic
in nnd inquired lor n geography.
"Plenty of them," said the salcsmau.
"How much do they cost!"'
"Gnc dollar my lad."
The little fellow drew back in dismay ;
and taking his little hand out of his
pocket, he commenced to couut sonn?
pennies und little pieces of silver that he
hud held until they were all damp with
sweat. Three or four times ho- counted
them j at lufct looking up and sayiug :
"I didn't know- they were so much,"
ho turned to go out, and eveu opened
the door, but closed it again and came
back. "1 have only got sixty-two cetits,"
said he, "you couldn't let me have a
geography, and wait a little while for the
rest of the money V
How eagerly his little bright eyes
looked up for the answer,, and how ho
Beeincd to shrink with his ragged clothes,
when the than, not very kindly told him
that he could not do it.
The disappointed" little fellow looked
up to me with a very poor attempt at a
smile, and then left the store. I followed
j and overtook hini.
"And what now ?" I usked kindly.
"Try another place, sii."
'?Shall i go too and sec how you suo
eeed ?" 1 asked.
"Oh, yes, if you like," said he iu sur
[ prise.
Four different stores I entered with
hini, though none of them knew that we
eaino together, aud each time he was re
fused.
' **Will you try again ?" I ked him as
we left the fourth'.

shouldn't know whether 1 could get one
or not."
We entered the tilth elorv.at.d ilu.-ni
tip fellow walked up inanluUy ?nd told
the gcnlloumn just what he wanted and
how much moucy In; had.
??You want the book very much ?"
asked the proprietor.
??Yes, sir ; very much !
'?Why do you want it so very, very
much t" ?
"To study, sir; j can't go to school,
hut 1 study whun I euu :?t home. All
the- boss have got one, and they will get
ahead of me. Besides, my lather was a
sailor, and I want to know tibout the
places whore he used t-> go."
"Does he not go to those places now '{"
"He is dead," said the hoy softly.
Then he added, after awhile; "I am
going to he u sailor, too.
"Are you though ?" asked the gentle
man, ruisiug his ?-y,.brows euriou.-ly.
"Yea, sir; if I live."
"Well, my lad, I'll toll you what I will
do ; I wii'l give you a new geography,
und you can pay uic the remainder ol I
the money when you can, or 1 will let
you have one that is not new lor fifty

"Yep, sir, just ;ik? 'l'0 nt* on!^ "
"It will do just ns well tn^:',- ?nk I'll

and when he brought the book along, !
saw n nice new poocil, and somo clean,

and you will make your mark."
"Thank you, sir. You are very good."
"What is your nutnc?"
"William Havcrly, sir."
"l>o you want anymore books??I
now asked him.
??.More than over I Clin get," he re
plied, taking iu at one glance the books
that filled the shelves.
I gave hi in a bank note. "It will buy
some lor you," suid I.
Tears of joy cumc into his eyes.
"('an I buy what I want with it?"
"Ves my lad, anything*"
"Then I'll buy one book for mother,"

LovKNdoon.?Tho Knoxvillo l'rcxs of
Tuesday has a long article on tho death
of this gentleman, from which we iiiake
the following extracts :
Mr. Harris was transferred from tho
Va. A Tonn, curb to those of the Kant
Tonn. &, Va. road on tho morning of the
11th, in an unconscious condition.
A lew moments after the train had
started for Knuxville, the conductor at

ger, railing in this, lie searched his
pe :kets hut found nothing in them with
the exception of a gold watch, which the
conductor thought well to remove from
his person, thinking that the man was in
toxicated.
No attention was paid him until he
was recognized by a gentleman from At
lunta, who got on the train tit Strawberry
Plains.
Attempts were then made to arouse
hint, but with the exception of an occa
sional vacant stare and low moans, they
were unsuccessful.
When the train reached Knoxville he
was taken to the Alkin House, and med
ical aid was called in. Everything that
could be done was dune in vain. Ho
showed some signs of consciousness, and
rallied a little about 10 o'rlock, recogmi
ine: a few friends, arid replied in answer
to a question of one of the physicians,
the word "poisoned." Nothing more
could be obtained from the now dying
man.
Toward midnight, he died.
The wife of the deceased, who had
, been telegraphed for on Saturday aitci
In ooii, arrived un the morning train on
; Sunday, and accompanied the remains

Tho cause of the death of Captain j

it was a case of apoplexy. The other
physicians a.-, ribe his death tri w>rj Ju'q

resource's of even a Uvica restaurant

aud fiunlly wouud up^wiih a bottle ..!

"I'll see about that," said the propric

Then ho snatched a revolver out of a
drawer and ?\.'.aped over the counter, col
lared the man, exclaiming, as ho pointed
it at his bead, "Now sec it' ?u get away
with that diuner without paying for it,

"What is that you hold in your

DIN?.?Near Foster's store, in Chcalhani
county, resides a wcll-to do planter
named KonnitT. who is tho father of it
beautiful girl of li), the belle of the
neighborhood. Two years ago nor heart
whs won by .". young man and the father
opposed the match, the iovcr bring poor.
The lover urged his suit in vain, and as
a Lust resort went to Virginia to see a
rtoh aunt, and persuade her to settle
enough upon him to enable bint to claim
the woman of bis choice. Now, there
chanced to be another suitor in the per
son ol' another farmer of considerable
means, who resides in the adjoiuiug
neighborhood. Him the mercenary
father favored. In fact, he looked with
graduation upon the attentions received
by his daughter froiu this source, and
besought her to accept the young man's
proposals.
Several weeks elapsed after the de
parture of the favored lover, and no let
ter reached her pining at home. The
young planter, together with his father
so worked upon the mind of the bcwil
dcrod girl that she at last acceded to the
demands of her patent. Arrangements
were made for the uvading to take place
tit once.
The day arrived, and while the party
were iu wailing for the clergyman, a
young man lode up to the gate, dis
counted and came hurriedly up to the
hou^e. It was the. missing lover, who
brought substantial piool of the gener
osity of his relative in the Hast. A
scene ensued. The girl did not faint,
but she give the waiting bridegroom,
who st-.od by. arrayed in a splendid suit
of broadcloth, such startling proofs of
the ufTectidh which she. entertained for
hi-< iis.il that be fled frbul the bouse.
The father stormed a little, but was
dually consoled. 'J here was toasting in

Not long since, our friend Brown was

and was much struck with the fact that
a fine jet of water war thrown up above

admiringly, be uccot-ted a plain, country
man with :
"My friend, is this water forced up

"A ram !" exclaimed the countryman.
"Yes, a raui, I say?"
