He shook ofi bur del.cite little hand

Fur a brief time he had th shelter of a

Robert Bricc wnu a mechanic, com
petent and skilful. Three years since
he lived in a coun .ry village where his
expenses were mud- rate and he found
no difficulty in meeting tbem. But in
an evil hour he grew weary of his
village home, and ho etuoved to the city.
Here he vainly hoped i'y do better. For
a while be met with very good succesy,
but hu louud the tenement house in
which he was obliged t?. live, n poor
substitute lor the neat little Cottage
which ho hal occupied in the country,
lie saw his mistake but he was too
proud to go back
"Of course I can't have as good
accommodations hern as in fchc country,*'
he said, "but it is something to live in
and ho iu the midst of things."'
''I'd rather be tuck again," said his
wife. "Some how this city d ?esu't seem
like home. There ( used to run and
take tea with a neighbor, and have a
pleasant, social time. Here, I kuow
scarcely air. body."
"You'll ^et used to it after a while,"
said her husband.

"It was a well woru overcoat, and

Hubert knew him as a rich merchant,
whose ample warehouse he oft cd passed
Um had applied to this man only two
days before for employment ai.d had
b*>en relused. It was perhaps, the
thought of the wide ?lifF.;r.*nec between
them, co far as outward circumstances
went, that led K 'bort Urica to follow
him
After a while the merchant, Mr.
Vrrimes, drew his handkerchief from bis
poeke . A*1 he did so, he did not per
ceive that his pocket book came with it
and tell to the sidewalk.
tie did not perceive it, but Robert
did. His heart leaped into his mouth,
and a sudden thought cutered his min 1.
He bent quickly down and piokoJ up
the pocket-hook II.' raised his eyes
hastily to m;c if the nuvement was
noticed. It was not.
The merchant went on unheeding his
loSS.
'?Thi* will buy bread f.>r my wife and
children,' thouuht It .b.-it instmtly.
A vision of the comfort which the
money would bring that ohecrlcss room,
lighted up his heart for an instant, bit
then, for he was not dishonest, there
came another thought. The money war
not' his. much as he wanted it.
"Hut I cannot sco iuy wife and chil
die. ? ?>t.*rve," he thou.: t a^ain. "If it
is wrong l> k.'.ep Iiis oioney God wih

my motive.
All this was sophistry, and he kuov
it. In n moment he Cult it t i be so.
There were so.no things worse than
starvation. It wnsjusl what his wife
said before he camo out. Could he
meet her gazo. when he r turn :d with
food ??o obtained ?
??I've lived honest so far," he thought
"I won't tarn thief now."
It was with au effort that he came to
this decision, for ?II the while before
his ?-ves there was that vision of a cheer
less home, and could hear Jimmy vainly
asking for food. It was with an effort
that he stepped forward and placed his
hand on the merchant's Bhoudcr. and
extended the baud that held the pocket
book.
"Mir," lie vaid hoarsely, "you have
dropped you pocket book."
?'Thank you," said the merchant,
turning around, "1 hadn't perceived my

Who is Old.
A wise -man will never rust out. As
long its he can move or breathe he will
be doing something for himself, for his
neighbor, or for p -sierity. A'.mtut to
thu la>t hour of his life Washington was
at work ; so were Howard. Young and
Newton. The vigor of their lives never
decayed) No rust marred their spirits
It is a fo Iis i i 1 -a to -unp isc th it we
must lio down and die b cause WO arc
old. Who is old ? Not the man ??l
energy; not ihn day lab n er in science,
art or benevolence ; but he only who
sailers his energies to waste away, and
tae springs of life to becom ? motionless:
oil who>e hands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all Ulings wear the garb of
gloom. "Is he old ?" slioul 1 not be
asked, but "Is he active?" "Can he
hrcathe Irccly and move wiih agility?"
There are scores of gray headed men we
should prefer, in any imp >rtant enter
prise, to young men who fear and
tremble at approached shadows, and
turu pale at a harsh word or a frown,
as at a lion in their path.
Si.ANHKits.?Yes, pass- it along,
whether you believe ft or no' ; that one
sided whisper against the oil iracter of
n virtuous fomale. You say you don't
believe it, but you will use your in
fluence to bear up the raise report, and
pans it on the curront. Strango Tea
tores are mankind ! How many reputa
tions arc lost by surmise ! How many
hearts bavo bled by a whispor ! How
many benevolent deeds nro chilled by
iho shrug of a shoulder ! Huw many
individuals have been shunued by a
gentle, mysterious hint! How many
chaste bosoms havo been wrung with
grief by a ringle nod ! How many
graves havo been dug by a false report!
Yes, you will pass tho slander along '.
you will keep it above tho water by a
wag of your tongue whoq you might
sink it forovcr. Destory tho passion for
telling a lale, we pray. Lisp not a word

'We must have a church-jr.e/Btiug,'
said Deacon W. to his pastor, as they
rode up the long hill together. 'There
is a case requiting discipline'
?Indeed,' said the pastor inquiringly,
for he had not been many months-with
the church.
'Yes,' said tlxuleacott;.,'Brother T. is
bringiug reproach upon the cause.
There was a dis.r ccful row at his store
the other knight.'
'A row ! what do you mean ? Not a
drunken row ?'
'Yes, a drunken row. The church
must take np his case.'
'Does Brother T. sell liquor?'
'Yes, and it is a prying shame; we
must do our duty as a church.'
A pause.
'Have you ever expostulated with
Brother T. ?' asked the pastor.
'Never.'
'lias any member of the church, to
your k nowledge ?'
'No. Brother T. is too old a man,
and too 'irmly sei in his ways.'
The conversation ended, but the pas
tor sought out another brother in the j
church, gifted with ttic general good
? ill and of a persuasive tongue.
'Come, Brother 31., let us go and have
a talk with Brother T.,' said the pas

M.'s faith was a.) small that, he stood
aloof almost, as if reouein'ghie paster
for the. intrusive service he had undcr

'Brother T.,' a?;;d the pastor, 'I heard

'1 es, I cid.

?W'hy a teamster called to get a driuk,

'A drink of water V j
'No ; a drink?a driuk of?'
'Do you sell intoxicating liquors?"
asked the pastor kindly and frankly. It
relieved Brother 'J .'s embarrassment to
answer sqouroly.
'Yes, I do sometimes.' .
'Jio y u think it right V

'Ves. that's right,' said the pastor;
'and begin by telling her tha^t }ou have

Brother T. hesitated) and the pastor
proecedid ?a if the decision was already
made. \
?When V
?I haveu't made up my mind exactly.'
'Better not wait, Brother T.,'said the
pastor and went on plying him affection
ately with motives drawu from the love
of Christ.
?Would you run the risk of destroy
ing him with your driuk for whom
Christ died ?'
Brother T. was silent and thoughtful,
evidently c ?uscicucc stricket) and affeo
ted. Brother M. f It the o angod at
mosphere und drew nearer. The pnsto
pushed his advantage. At length Broth
er T.said :
?Well, I will talk the matter ovei
with my wife to ni :ht.'
'Yes, Brother 'f., I would make a
thorough thing of it. I would not even
sell a glass of alo.'
The pastor thought now ho would call
in a reinforcement from Brother M.,
II e appealed to him :
'Brethor 31., you would advise Brother
T. to give up selling even ale and strong
beer, wouldn't you V
Brother 31. came to his pastor's sup
port with all his persuasive eloquenco
Brother T. yielded a poiu.".. He would
uive up telling liquor when his prcsout
stock was gone,
"Why will you then give up?'
?Beoiuso I am satisfieu that it is
wrong.'
'Is it not wrong uow?'
Brother T. saw how unicnablo his
new position was. He yielded every -
, tiling to the Christian motives faithfully
and uffectionately applied by his two
brethren. Before they left him, the
brother that tbe deacon said must bo
disciplined, had plodgdtl tbi^Mlf Be***}
again to sell a glass of liquor. They
rode off together, glad at heart because
they h id gained their brother.
A few mornings after the paster took
an early horseback ride over to Brother*
T.'s store. Hrothor T. h?d not come.

A Marvelous Story.?The Savan

has a correspondent who tells the follow
ing tough ftory. which ho vcumes for
as strictly true :
There lives within five milos af Wei,
horn, Florida, a human alligator. Yes,
it is true, and his name-is Abby Adams.
He is now 13 years of age. Ho was
born of a respectable woman who is now
a widow with several children. For
two years I have tried to obtain this
wonder fdr the New York mu'eum, but
his mother and family will not put with
this, their pet. His breast bone is sharp
and projects far out. His arms and
hands resemble tho foot and Dg* of an
alligator. His lower half, from his hips
down, are simply bones c )vered with
skin. He is stiff in tho hip joints, ffc
can sit up with legs stretched out. If
he lies down on his back his feet and
I legs stick upright. He cannot feed him

mother is very poor, consequently he
cannot bo educated.
Never Frayed.?At tho closo of
ono of our great ba!?les of the late war
a young soldier lay dying. A Christian
comrade, by whose side he had fallen,
earnestly besought hitn to make his
peace with God. Among tho pleas
offered to iuduco him to submit to Christ
was this :
' Perhaps evon now your dear mother
is praying for you."
With a Ftuile of contempt tho dying
man replied, '-Myniothnr never prayed."
In a few morro-.ta he wasin etornity.
Prayerless mothers, can you with con

Am )ng the strange situation in lite
lure arc few stranger orv id sohlerespect,
more painful, than the meeting alter
long absence, of tt^se1 who1 when thsy
had parted years before, were on terms
of closest intimacy, and who now see
each other, changed by time, with alter*
ed habits and manner, and improved
a variety of ways with influence and as
sociations which impart their stand on
character, ii is very difficulty at such a
moment to remenber how far we ourselves
have changed in the internal, and how
much of what we regard as ahcred in
another may not simply be the new
stand point from which wc are looking
and to us our friend may he graver, or
sadder or more thoughtful, or as it may
happen, seem less reflective and less con
siderative, than we have thought him?
all because the world has been meantime
dealing with ourselvee-in saob*4MM-that
qualities we once eared for i ham:, lost
much oi their vuluo, and others that we
had deoraeJ of small account have grown
into importance with u9.
Most of us know the painful disap
pointment of revisiting sesses which had
impressed us oitongly in early life: how
the mountain we regarded with a wander*
and the romantic tarn, u pool of sluggish
water; and some of this same awakening
pursues us in our renewal of old intimacies
and we find ourselves continually war
ring with our recollections.
Beside this, there is another source of
u leastiness that presses unceasingly. It
is in imputing every charge we discover,
or think wc discover, in our friend, to
some unknown influences that have as
serted their power over hin, in our ab?
sonce, and thus when we find that our
argument have lost their old force* and
our persuasions can be stontly resitted,
we begin to think that some other bses*
have usurped out place, and that there
is treason in the heart we had deemed
tobe loyally our own.? Charles Lever.
