Fur a brief time he had th shelter of a
vhe-o !r-s home in a eold tenement house,
but the rent would bee one due at the
end id the mouth, and he lu.d nothing
to meet it- ?
Robert Rrice was a mechanic, com
petent and skilful. Three years since
be lived in a coun ry village where his
expenses were mud. rate and he found
no difficulty iu meeting them. Rut in
an evil hour he grew weary of his
village home, and he emoved to the city.
Here he vainly hoped do better. For
a while he met with very g<<od success,
but ho iouud the tenement house in
which he was obliged to live, n po..r
substitute lor flic neat little cottage
which he had occupi d iu lae Btuntry.
He saw bis mistake but he was too
proud in go back
"Of coursn I can't have as good
accommodations hern as in fchc country."
he said, "but it is something to live iu
and be iu the midst of things."
''I'd rather be back again," said his
wife. "Some bow this city d luau't seem
like home. There I used to run and
take tea with a neighbor, und have a
pleasant, social time. Here, I kuow
scarcely anybody."
"You'll get used to it after a while,"
suid her husband.
She did not think so, but nIic did not
complain.
Rut a time oi great depression came
and with it u suspension of business
t uterprise. W'oik ceased lor Robert

he saw bis scanty sum of m muy wasio

Day by day he went out to seek w rk,
only to iiud bimueil one of a large nu ?i

When on that evouing Robe, t Briue

how ho was going to redeem the promise

absolutely penniless, aud hud been so
lor three daye.
There was nothing that he was likely
to fiud to do that night
"I will pawn my coat," he said at
last. UJ cannot see my wife and child
ret: starve."
'?It was a well woru overcoat, and
that ?"cid winter night he needed some
tiling more to keep him warm. Weaken
ed by enforced fasting, he was more
sensitive to tho cold, and .shivered as he
walked along the pavement.
"Yea," be said, "my coat must go, I

Ins hands thrust deep into the [>"?!;?? ?
of his overenut. There was a pleasant

litukiug upon the happy circle at home.
Uobert knew him as a rich merchant,
whose ample warehouse he often passed
Mi: had applied to this man only two
days before for employment and had
been relused. It was perhaps, the
thought of the wide difference between
the ill, co far as outward circumstances
went, that led K 'bort Rricii to follow
hi til
After a while the merchant, Mr.
Grimes, drew his handkerchief from his
p'k-ke . As he did so, be did not per
ceive that Ins pocket book came with it
and fell to the sidewalk.
He did not perceive it, but Uobert
did. His heart leaped iuto his mouth,
aud a sudden thought entered his mind.
He bent quickly d>?wu and piokol up
the pocket-book. II.) raised his eyes
hastily to m;c if the movement was
noticed. It was not.
The merchant went on unheeding his
loss.
'?'I'hif will buy bread f??r my wife and
children,' thought lt ib. it inistiotly.
A vision of the comfort which the
money would bring that cheerless room,
lighted up his heart fur au instant, b it
then, ii>r he was not diahonest, there
chdio another thought. The money wa?
not his. much us he wnnted it.
??Hut I caoooi seo my wife and chil

is wrong t' k.-ep his money God will
pardon the offence. He will under-taiid
my motive.
.11 this was Sophistry, and he knov
it. In a moment be felt it t > he so.
There were so.no jhiugs worse than
starvation, It was just what his wile
said before he came out. Could l e
meet her gaze, when he r turn 1 with
food SO obtained ?
'?I've lived honest so far," bethought
"I won't turn thief now."
It was with an effort that he c.iiuc to
this decision, for ?II the while before
his cjes there was that vision of a cheer
less home, and could hear .Jimmy vainly
unking for food. It was with an effort
th it he stepped "orwndand placed his
hand on the merchant's shoulder, aud
extended the baud that held the pocket
book.

said Mr. Grimes, bis tone altering
slightly.
"Yis, it would, but it's hard in a mau
lu be holiest when bis wife and childreu
are without u crm>t."
"Surely, you and your family are not
in that eouditiou t" said the merchant
earnestly.
"Yos, said Uobert, '"it is only too
true.'

Who is Old
A wise man will never rust out. As
long as he cau move or breathe he will
be doing something for himsolf, for his
neighbor, or for p >sterity. Almost to
the la>t hour of his life Washington was
at Work; so were Howard, Young and
Newton. The vigor of their lives never
d-cay d. No rust marred their spirits
It is a fool is i i I a to -upp >se th it. we
must lie down and die b cu.se we are
old. Who is old ? Not the man of
energy ; not the day lab uer in science,
ait or benevolence; but be only who
sailers his energies to waste away, and
tae springs of life to becomu motionless:
on whose bands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all things Wear the garb of
gloom. "Is he old ?" shoul I ii"t be
asked, but "Is he active?" "Can lie
lircathc freely and move with agility ?"
There are scures of gray headed men we
should prefer, in any imp -riant cuter
prise, to young men who fear and
tremble at approached shadows, and
turn pale at a harsh word or a frown,
as at a lion iu their path.
Slanders.?Yes, pass it along,
w hether you believe ft or uot ; that one
sided whisper against the eh iracter of
a VirttiQttl female. You say you don't
believe it, but yon will use your in
fluence to bear up the false report, and
pnss it on the currout. Strange erea
tures are mankind ! How many reputa
tions are lost by surmise ! How n.any
hearts have bled by a whisper ! How
many benevolent deeds aro chilled by
ihe shrug of a shoulder ! How many
individuals have been shunned by a
gentle, mysterious hint! How many
chaste bosoms have bceu wrung with
grief by a singl: nod ! How many
graves have 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 when you might
sink it forever. Dcstory the passion for
telling a tale, we pray. Lisp not a word
that mr.y injure tho character of another.
Ro determined to listen to no story that
is repealed to the injury of another, and
as far as you are concerned the slander
will die. Rut tell it once and it may
go
The most mischevious liars aro thoso
who keep juBt od the verge of troth.

'We must liavc a church-meeting,'
seid Deocua W. to his pa-tor, as they
rode up the long hill together. 'There
is a ease requiring di.-eipliue.'
'Indeed,' said the pastor inquiringly.
for he had not been many months -with
the church.
'Yes,' said th<iMleacou.i-Jillrothcr T. is
bringing reproach upon the cause.
There was a dis.r ceful row at his store
the other knight.'
'A row ! what do you mean ? Not a
drunken row ?'
'Y'cs, a druukeu row. The church
must take up his case.'
'Does Brother T. sell liquor?'
'Yes, and it is a crying shame; wc
must do our duty as a church.'
A pause.
'Have you ever expostulated with
Brother T. ?' asked the pastor.
'Never.'
'Has any member of the church, to
your knowledge ?'
'No. Brother T. is too old a man,
and too lirmly set in his ways.'
The conversation ended, but the pas
tor sought out another brother in the
church, gifted with the general good
.. iii and of a persuasive tongue.
'Come, Krothcr M., let us go and have
a talk with Brother T ,' said the pas
tor.
'fiet some one else.' said Brother M.
'No. I lay the couscription on yoa.
i here is uo discharge in this warfare.'^
Brother 31. resijjt^d, but at last unwil
lingly went.
'J he two found Brother T. along in
store on the dusty turnpike. Brother
.M.'s faith was 3;) small that he stood
aloof almost, us if rebuking bis pastor
for the. intrusive service he had under
taken.
'Brother T.,' said the pastor, 'I heard
vhut }ou had some trouble with your
customers the other night.'
?Yes. I did.'
'Howdid it happen ?'
?Why a teamster called to get n drink,
tad?'
'A drink of water V
'No j a drink?u drink of?'
'l>o you sell intoxicating liquors?'
askid the p.ist- r kindly and frankly. It
relieved Brother T.'s embarrassment to
answer squarely.
i 'Y'es, I do sometimes.' .
?i lo y u think it i ight ?'
'Well, I am carefu) to whom I sell,
ai d it is my chief reliance for my buai
uesj.
?'i><> 3>>u think it right, Hp thor I*.?''
??Well, no. I supple uot I thiuk of
giving it up."'
'Yea. that's right,' said the pastor;
?and bey in by toiling her tha^t )ou have
resolved never ag.iiu to put the glass to
yours neighbor's lips.'
Brother T. hesitated, aud the pastor
proceeded ua if the decision wa? already
made.
?When ?'
'I haven't made up my mind exactly.'
'Letter not wait, Brother T.,'said the
pastor and went on plying him affection
ately with motives drawn front the love
of Christ.
?Would you run the risk of destroy
ing him with your driuk for whom
Christ died V
Brother T. was silent and thoughtful,
evidently conscience stricken and affec
teil. Brother M. f. It the c anged at
mosphere and dtew nearer. The pasto
pushed his advantage Atlength broth
er T. said :
?Well. I will talk the matter ovet
with my wife to ni -lit.'
'Yes, Brother T., I would make a
thorough thing of it. 1 would not even
sell a glass of ale.'
The pastor thought now ho would Call
in a reinforcement from Brother M.,
II e appealed to him :
'Brother M., you would advise Brother
T. to give up selling even ale and strong
beer, wouldu'l you V
Brother M. came to his pastor's sup
port with all his persuasive eloquence
Brother T. yielded a point He would
i?ive up telling liquor when his prcseut
stock was gone,
"Why will you then givo up?'
'Beoiuse I am satisfied that it is
wrong.'
?Is it not wrong now ?'
Brother T. saw how untcnablo his
new position was. He yioldod every
thing to the Christian motives faithfully
and affectionately applied by his two
brethren. Before they left him, the
brother that tbe deacon said must bo
disciplined) had piodgod himself never
again to sell, a glass gf, Ijflftpr. , J'-hej,
rode off together, glad at heart because
they hud gained their brother.

What a Kihd Word DiD.-r-Theru
was once a schoolboy named Robert, who
passed for a dull one among his compan
ions, and was ridiculed and called'"blun
derbuss," etc.
It happened ono day that some of the
members of tho BchooT dor* mitten wore
examining the pupils in drawing. With
downcast eyes Robert timidly held up
his specimens amid the balf suppressed
laughter of his comrades,
'?Don't be ashamed, my boy," said
one whom wo wi? call Mr. Curttss: "I
made worse lookiug trees and horses when
I began to draw. Go on, you'll con
rjuor?will even surpass me, I'm think
ing." Ho then drew a sketch and gave
it to the boy, saying,' "x'herc, see what
can be done by perseverance."
This little? incident gave RobjrU; a
start tn lira Those? iwords were for
him as solid capital well invested. \ci
Several X^tM after, Mr. Curtias was
extolling some, architectural drawings
which a friend had shown him. He
commended in the highest tcrfti3 both
the designs and their stylo of execution.'
"The arclfllUUl UIWifderl'lHttniilf iudobt
tcd to yon fur his success." said bio
Iriend.
/Me!" exclaimed Mr. Curtis8,"I don't
understand."
''Do you remember encouraging a boy
at the hillside school, and giving him
this sketch !" replied the other, produc
ing the small drawing before mentioned.
' That boy," continued the informant",
is the executor of these designs. At
the time you spoke to him. he was much
depressed by reason of the inoes?ant and
torturing parsed ions of his schoolmates
and was on the point of giving up school
altogether, and going to work with his
father at his trade, which was that of a
carpenter. Your words however, nerved
him with new energy and spirit, and
vour little sketch became to hitn as a
tail sman throughout the whole of his sub
sequent school life."
- A Marvelous Story.?The Savan
nab (Ga.) Advertiser, of the 31st ultimo
has a correspondent who tells the follow
ing tough story, which ho voushes for
as strictly true :
There lives within five miles if Wei,
horn, Florida, a human alligator. Yes,
it is true, and his name-is Abby Adams.
He is now 13 years of age. He was
born of a respectable woman who is now
a widow with several children. For
two years I have tried to obtain this
wonder for the New York mu eum, but
his mother and family will not pirt with
this, their pet. His breast bone is sharp
and projects far out. His anus and
bauds resemble the feet and l.'gs of an
alligator. His lower half, from his hips
down, are simply bones civcrcd with
Bkits. lie is stiff in tho hip joints. He
can sit up with legs jtrctehed out. Ifj
ho lies down on his back his feet and
legs stick upright. He cannot feel him
self except to put his head down ?rjd
bite or eat like an animal. His ho id is
large an 1 he is an intelligent b ?y. His
mother is very poor, consequently he
cannot bo educated.
Never Prayed.?At the closo of
ono of our great battles of the late war
a young soldier lay dying. A Christian
comrade, by whoso side ho had fallen,
earnestly besought him to make his
pence with God. Among tho pleas
offered to induce him to submit to Christ
was this :
' Perhnps even now your dear mothor
is praying for you."
With n smile of contempt tho dying
mau replied, '-My mother nover prayed."
Ina few momeite he wtrs-in eternity.
Frayerless mothers, can you with con
fidence look upon your enslaved child
rcu and say, if they die impenitent and
unsaved, God will not require their blood

more painful, than the meeting niter
long absence, of th^se who1 when they
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, an* improved in ^ ^
a variety of ways with influence and as
sociations which impart their stand on
character. It is very difficulty at snob ft
moment toremenber how far wo ourselves
h ive changed in the internal, and how
much of what we regard as akered in
another may not ?imply be tho now
stand poiut from which wq are looking
and to us our friend may he graver, or
sadder or more thoughtful, or as it may
happen, seem less reflective 4ud less con
siderative, than we have thought him?
ail because the world has been meantime
dealing with ourselves-in such wise-that
qualities wc once cared fot Ihast?;, lost
much of their valuJ, aud other* that we
had deemed of small account have grown
into importance with u3.
Most of us know tho painful disap
pointment of revisiting scenes which had
impressed us sttongly in early life: how
the mountain we regarded with a wanderj
iag admiration, h id boconio a mere hiii
onl the romantic tarn, a pool of sluggish
water; and some of this same awakening
pursues us in our renewal of old intimacies
and wc find ourselves continually war
ring with our recollections.
Beside this, there is another source of
u leastincss that presses unceasingly. It
is in imputing every charge wc discover,
or think we discover, in our friend, to
some unknown influences that havo as
serted their power over him, in our ab
sence, and thus when we find that our
argument have lost their old force' and
our persuasions can be stoutly resisted,
we begin to think that some other must
have usurped out place, and that there
is treason in tho heart we had deemed
tobe loyally our own.? t'harlet Lever.
