him to be good-humoured. There was a

power must give any one. The really inter-

sent, was the Queen, who Crouched behind
the King in the orthodox Court position of

known to have seen her, and innumerable

"He said It, and I guess he knew," mut-
tered little Tim James, "He wore better
clothes than any of that Crowd. He said
twice over, he did : 'A boy isn't the same
fie his father, and never need be ; a bright
fellow like Tim, here, can be a first-class
man if he tries.' Yes, ho said it, and I am
going to try."
Tim's father was a drunken loafer, and
because people treated ragged little Tim
without any Sort of respect or kindness he
had felt that a boy was only "what his
father ,was. The day before a man had said :
"Tim is no, good ;, he is old James' boy."
Another roan answered-':41/"Tim can' be as
good as anybody's boy ; a buy need not be
what his father ie."
This day there was a fierce snow -storm;
the house was cold and cheerless, the little
children hungry and kis mother heartsick.
"1'11 go to.work," thought Ti's, "like the
smartest mart's son I ever hoard of ;" and off
he started with an old shovel. • He soon got a
job at cleaning a sidewalk, and he went at
it so vigorously that a man acroas the road,
thinking ho must be "worth something to
work," set him next at his walk. It was
early, and before slower cleaners carne along
Tim had earned fifty ciente. Then he rush-
ed home again, only stopping to buy some
sausages (Tim was so hungry and thought
sausages fit for kings), a little Coffee and a
big loaf of bread. His mother's face bright-
ened at the sight of the food ; the little
boys shouted with satisfaction ; and when
they were enjoying their unusually good
breakfast,'►" d,; "Mother, I am going
to do somettigil kid grow up to be Som
body, I will ^work, and I won't loaf and
drink. You see if I do 1 Mr. Willis—the
rich Mr. Willis—said : 'Go ahead, Tim 1'
and I'm going to do as he said."
His mother had to laugh. Tim looked so
little and yet eo wide awake ; but Tim had
a will, and he was in earnest.
From that day he enoveted snow, ran er-
rands, sold papers, carried a shoeshop ad-
vertisement, blacked boots and cleaned out
office stoves. The boys nicknamed him
"Go ahead Tim," and people began to know
his rosy faceneacid funny, business -like way.
The next wi he got a plata in a grocery
and went to' nigh"; school.
One day his Sunday -school teacher asked
him why he worked so much harder
everything than v'ld the other boys. Tim
did not like to say that they had better
fathers than he had, but he quoted Mr.
Willis and amused her by'his admiration of
that gentleman.
Perhaps she told Mr. Willis of Tim, but
perhaps he only noticed as others noticed
how Tim was trying "to be somebody." At
any rate, people now had a good word for
him, and they were ready to help him in
little ways.
Old Tim really began' to get ashamed
when he heard his boy praised for industry
and honesty. Hew as persuaded to go into
the country and work on a farm away from
temptations to drink. He was a poor work-
man and got poor pay, and he made his liv-
ing, and his family was better off without
him.
At fifteen Mr. Willis put Tim in a car-
riage manufactory—a place he had been
long wishing for ; and, as years went by,
Tim, by doing his best, became anintelli-
gent, well to-do/carriage-maker—ale moth-
er's old age wa passed in comfort, and his
brothers grew up, with "hie help, sober,
hard working men.

Eddy Johnson was very fond of musio.
His Uncle Henry was spending his college

an accordion. 'Eddy had never seen any-
thing of the kind, and was much delighted
while his uncle played college songs and
Sunday-sehool.hymns.

He pulled` the accordion but and pushed it

keys, and then upon ours, Of`oourse he

PREPARATIONS FOR THE JOURNEY.
I took advantage of the opportunity to look
about the deserted palace, and found the
white elephant ;okse to the great throne
room. He was a very ordinary animal,
much like any other young elephant, but
close inspection showed a couple of small
dirty white patches behind his ears, which
constitute, I suppose, his right to his title.
Above him, in the tall golden house, was a
white embroidered State canopy ; against
the pillars stood great gold umbrellas, and
near him a great hemispherical silver vessel
three or four feet in diameter, from which I
suppose he drank. It was empty, and as
the sacred elephant had, like the king, been
abandoned, I filled a brass bowl with water
and offered it, to him. Whether he was not
accustomed to water, or regarded brass as
an insult, I do not know, but the gif pro.
duced a considerable outburst of temper,
and the bowl was roughly treated and final-
ly stamped on by his Sanotity, whom we
left to cool down to a sense'of�> his new posi-
tion. i hope the comingregirne will respect
