As the teaeb$r took out his tivatcli the

Nothing more was said, though the
four walked out together.
Tho third night after this conversa-
tion the boys asked the master to wait.
Again the three stood at the desk :
one spoke for all, -We've talked it
over; and we've decided to go. •
Good 1 said the teacher. A boy
can do auytlaictg that he sets out to
do, if it is right, aud he can ask God's
blessing upon it. You shall begin to
study this whiter will college in view.
Twenty years later two of these
boys shook hands together in the
State•capitol. One was clerk of the
House for eight years, and afterwards
its Speaker. The other was president
of the Senate. The third boy amassed
a fortune in business.
The shoemaker's son, who became
Speaker of the House, made his own
shoes that he worn iu the college and
was particularly proud of the boots in
which he graduated,—his own handi''e
work. A better pair of French calf,

Some 3Pri,#nitive Musical Instruments.
Most boys have sou3e idea of rythtn holding, country fashion withoat the
in their heads if they are not altogeth-
er what eve call music. And what
boy has not constructed some musical
instrument or other at some time of
his life'!
Away back in :the early days of
our race so far as history takes us,
we find the reed and pipe. Some
people used hollow bones to construct
those of, while others like `the god
Pan have been contented, with the
reeds which grow by the river.
Many a boy in 'our country who
possibly never head of the ancient,
much less of the god Iiau, understands
very well how to construct these reed
pipes. To be sure we are apt to call
tben, equators, and the sound produc-
ed from'them are 'riot altogether of
dulcet smoothness, batt it is musical
nevertheless; and these musical iestru-
meklts of home manufacture are
primitive indeed, quite as mach so
as those of the ancient. If we can
get access to a tolerably gdod collet-
tion of old musical instrnmente we
can make the comparisons better and
be able to trade their growth from
simlild to complex forms. Down by
the river in that marshy ground
grow rushes, Hifi large and thriftier
having stems filled with a pith that
can be pushed out. The pith the
children seize upon to make a variety

in anxious consultation with the cook;
and a few miuutee afterwards. the new
Maid appeared carrying a number of
bottles which she . had bosh to fetch
fldm the cellar.
At this niometSt it flashed acrose
the host's memory that he had deposit-
ed three barrels of gunpowder in the
'Cellar, and. that the lid of :one
had been taken oft to show to
customer the quality of the contents.
He asked the servant in a trembling
voice what she hard done with her

It's in the collar, sir. I stuck it in
the cask of black sand behind the door
while I'd be taking you the wine.
