Poor Mies K.siah was old and plain
and poor, and her house was not well
furnished or her style elegant. Profes-
sor Versos boarded with her out of pure
charity, fur be might have lived when
he chose. But Moss Keziah did her beet
to make him comfortable. and be knew
that Dow •11 the summer boarder had
left her he stood between the little Wiese -
bold and starvation. There was a little
boy to be taken ears of, Miss Kezisb's
grand -nephew, and the little house .tcod
oa half •o acre of ground. which bon
nothing bot old-fashioned flowers and an
ancient grapevine, that gave promise of
plenty every rummer, but was given over
to evil-minded worms long bolero autumn
came.
Tt. professor est eating his breakfast
as the old lady talked, and being •
kind-hearted fellow, with a real friend
ship for the poor old woman, be paid at -
notion to every w .rd she said.
"Things do happen better than we ex-
pect, Mies Keziah, be said. "Perhaps
you might manage to do it after all.
But poor cld Keztah shook her head,
and he saw her wipe away a tear with
the corner of her apron as she turned
away ; and it occurred to him that men
had accomplished much more hopeless
things than the procuring of bits of .ilk
for a crazy quilt A woman would have
known that they could be bought, but
be, being a man, did not know how or
where a number of small pieces of various
colon might be procured. He knew
enough of crazy quilts to see that these
were necessary, and he pondered long
and deeply. Finally, be went to bis
room and brought down two cravats, a
blue and • pearl color. Ono laid there on
the old lady's apron as the sat shelling

And the professor. with a ,mile,
aught up his hat and started for the

of delicate note paper and envelopes, and
in a cc•zy den of his own et the college
sat down and composed the following
billet :

They were satisfactory. A flesh of

And, moreover, an offer was made for

But the peofeaor told her that they
would rejoice ID her good luck, Slid she
wrote a trembling cuserot to the sale,

was clotted she held m her nand • hun-

Moreover, she had several orders for

Besides, now that Miss Knish Pru-

rooms.
That crazy quilt was a picot on which
fortune turned for the mild old woman.
The professor kept his counsel, enjoyed
his laugh alone, and was not spiteful.
Nobody ever made any confidences
concerning those letters, except young
Grub. Young Grub was very plain sod
not vain, and very fund of the profee-
air. Before he left college, they supped
together. and afterward sat smoking in
the moonlight on • balcony. It was a
romantic moment.
"Professor Vernon,' said young Grub,
"if I tell you something, you'll not
laugh at me '
"Oh, no," said the professor.
"It's foolish,- said Grub. "You know
I'm an awfully ugly fallow, rough and all

Orlando Grub has gone, you'll give my
address. I'd come from the end of the

"Couldn't, you know, in modesty,'

"1o," said Grub, softly. ''No; I

The professor would not have told him
the truth for all the world, nor did he
feel like smiling when, on parting, Grub
said :
"You know I shall be happier all my

Men should influence one another in

intercourse of chance acquaintance and
the close ties of friendship. This it is
that keeps them from ,rowing narrow
and bigoted in their own opinions, and
draws them together in love, in friend-
ship, in a common patriotism and a
Boman brotherhood. Bot this constant
influence needs to be balanced, by • firm
individuality, a mealy self-respect, sod a
steady adhereocs to the principles that
appeel to each teas mute of right.
Therefore. velem then are times when
the man retires voluntarily from •11 ho -

pressors can sway him, and when his
own thooghts, his own feelings, his own
may assert themselves, unre-
boked and unassisted, he an never pre-
