Sending; a Pair of Legs. Sometimes we ask people to "lend a hand." and sometimes we can hear them snv '"Lend tp.e vour eyes." Here is a story about a hoy who lent a pair of legs just io accommodate. Some boys were playing at base-ball hi a pretty, shady street. Among the number was a lame little tet:ow, seemingly about twelve years old. a palo, sickly locking child, supported ou two crutches, and who evidently found much difficulty in walking, even wi'h such assistance. The lame hoy wished to join the game; for he did not seem to see how much his infirmity would be in his own way. and how much it would hinder the progress of such an active sport as b:?se-hall. His companions, good-naturedly enough, tried to persuade him to stand on one side and let unolher take his place; none of thcui hinted that he would he iu the way; but they all objected for fear that lie would hurt himself. "Why, Jimmy," said ono at last, "you can't run, you know." "(), liu-h !" said another, the tallest boy in the party; "never mind, I'll run for him, nnd you count it for him," and lie took his place by Jimmy's side prepared to act. ' If you wero like Lira/ be said aside to tho other boys, 'you wouldn't want to be told of it all the time.' How many times loving hearts will find a way to lend their powers and members to the aged, the poor, the sick, and the weak. Anti-Doar Tax Man.

Act from Principle. flow few' person* there are whose lives are governed r mit* ly from principie rafhrr than inclination. Even those of us who may he endeavoring to live fur high purposes, come far short of our nHpirutio.is; alas.! how very far short, llnw often w?! find our convictions of right and duty questioning if it might, not be as well fi?r us to yield to inclinnti-tn just for the time, promising our disturbed consciences that wc will uiaka up for the present indulgence by wore vigorous self-denial and stricter uttenlion to duty.

Forethought of Swallows. Bird stories are iu order. As a far- i mer was er?t iris in his hay, ho noticed in miu?uil commotion among the swallows, which had built a long row of aosts uuder the eaves of hi" barn. Thry ippearet crentiy excited, flying rapid y iliont, and filling tbeair with their crie? >f distress As the load passed into the bam. ho saw that a young swallow, m a nest directly ovr the door, had caught its neck between two shingles, md was unable to liberate itself. IT* stopped his team, and set the young b:rd fr-e, restoring it to tho nest. Upon his return to the harn with his next bad of hay, noticing that the swallows were quiet, he examined the crack, and found that they had completely filled it. with mud, so that, no matter howeotcrprisiug or how foolish the young swallow might be, ne coma no; again endanger his life, or the peace of that community, by any experiments on the crack. Instinct is a wonderful sensf. The Kose of Sharon. The rose of Sharon is one of the most exquisite flowers in shape and huo. Its blossoms arc bell-shapcJ, and of many mingled hues ana dyes. But its history is legendary nud romantic iu tho highest degree. In the Mast, throughout Syria, Judea, and Aaabia, it is regarded with the profoundest reverence. The leaves that encircled the round blossom dry and close tight together when the season of blossom is over, and be stalk withering completely away from the steDi, the flow.T is blown away, it last, froir. the bush ou which it grew, having dried up in the shapoof a ball, which is carried by tho sport of tho breeze to great distances. Iu this way it is borne over the sandy wastes and deserts, until at last, touching some moist place, it clings to tho soil, where it immediately takes root and springs to lift* and beauty again. For this very wu son the orientals have adopted it as th* emblem of the resumption. Stop Tho Interest. Daniel Webster oiicc uincu wim an old Boston merchant, and when they cauie to the wine, a dusty bottlo was carefully decanted and passed to tho host. Tnkinsr the bottle he poured out Mr. Webster's glass and hauded it to hint. Then pouring out another glass for himself, lie held it to the light and said : "llow do you like it, Mr. Webster?" ' I think it is a fine specimen of old Port." "Now, can you gue&* what it cost nic?" said tho host. ''Surely not," said Mr, Webster. "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now, I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other Jay. When I add the interest to the nrice. 1 hod that it cost me the sum of oue dollar and twenty cents per gluss ?" "(iood gracious ! you doc't say so," said Mr. Webster; and then drain* ing his glass, he hastily presented it again, with the remark ; "Fill it up again us quick as you oao, for I wau; to stop that confounded interest," Always a Chanoe. It is scarcely ncce&aary to remind rea~ sonable men that if they wish to be sad and i.uur. to grumble and complain, there is always a chance. Reasons for being cist down and dejected are as plenty as blackberries in the height of harvest. If one thiog goes right, you may be sure there is always something else going wrong; and if ono thing is in order something el so is out of joint, or at any rate soon will be. The chief differcnce in the feelings and dispositions of people results from tho different way of looking at things. Few nights are so dark that no stars are to be scsn, the thing is to look them out aod keep your eyes on them, and make the most of what you can discover. "Learn to smile," urges a cotempo. rary.
