Bill is a big bay horse, with large, In- tel-4E9A eyese and a face which plainly says Yell may walk close to my heels withert the elightest danger." There is a spring- to his walk which shows un - Comm' ea strength, and wten he gets in motion a ith a fire department truck be- hind. Ithu the truck is pretty sure of being thst at the tire. For seven years Bill has been quartered with Hook and. Ladder Company NO. 1 in Chambers street, the firemen are in love with him. 't H i as ganitle as- a kitten,' said Fireman Lynch last night, " and knows MUC11 ati= alty man in the house." • A reporter had just entered the en- gine houte, and was impressed by the appear -owe of Bill, who was harnessed to the truck alongside of Torn, hie• corn - palliate waiting for a signal to go to a fire that proved to be just outside of the district. Bill heard the reporter say that he 1,Va24 a fine looking horse, and acknowledged the compliment by bob- bing his head. Then he stretched his neck awl affectionately put his nose on the reporter's :shoulder, and -when the reporter went close to him he rubbed his face against the reporter's. The firemen gathered around and patted and petted the big imimal until it was learn- ed that they would not have to go to the fire,and Bill awl Tom were unharnessed. Bill walked back into his stall with a regular Bowery swagger, just as if be knew that he was a wonderful horse and was proud of it. " Bill is sixteen years old," Fireman Lynch said, "and seems- to get wiser all the time. If there is a green horse to be broken in he is put alongside of Bill, and then he learns in no time. I think that 13in teaches him. Bill always knows when the gong is going to strike before it sounds. Do you see that com- bination instrument on the wall there ? Well, it makes a slight clicking noise half a second before the gong sounds. Bill always hears it, and if he is -lying down he quickly jump's up and (seta ready to run to the truck. The sails, you see, are in the back of the room, and we can stand here in front and call Bill and he will walk right out by him- self. He (loth so many intelligent things teat I would not know where to begin to tell them. Although he is old, I don't know of any young horse that we weitild swap him for. No, Tom isnot as wise as Bill,but then he a is young horse and has not been long in the business. Bill is teaching him) fast, though. -- New York S -un. Willing to Shovel. To be wilting to begin at the -bottom is the open secret of being able to come it at the top. A few years achy a young, inen_came to this country to take' a posi- tion in p• new enterprise in the South- west. He was Well bred,- well educat- • ; _ • •• • • • -- • - • • THE flit! 11.0 N EX • OSITOR. so Engaged, with door locked, it wa very difficult to get his attention. Ii took no notice of loud knocks at hi door, or of any common •announcemen through the keyhole, but kept steadil on with his work apparently deaf. Thi was, " Watermelon, Doctor !" Immed' ately the response came, "Coming du- ectly! Don't cut it bill I come." • Dr. Beecher was sometimes abseil minded and forgetful, as men who thin very earnestly are apt to be. Lan Seminary was then poor, and foun difficulty in adequately supporting i fatality, so that Mit. Beecher was ofte sadly straitened pecuiliaxily. At o time, when she received a sum of mone3, it was the occasion of great rejoicin that it would enable them to pay a bill for a carpet which had been too Ion standing. So she committed the mon* to her husband, charging him to ettenil to the payment immediately. In the evening the doctor returned from the city in high spirits. He described to u a missionary meeting he had attended in which was much enthusiasm, ver eloquently reporting the address s which had been made. . " doctor," iij- terrupted Mrs. Beecher, "did you g and pay for that carpet to -day ?" " pet? what carpet ?" responded the dol. - tor. "Why, the one I gave you money to pay for this morning," " There !" said the doctor, feeling feebly in his vest pocket: "that accounts for it. At th missionary meeting they took up a co tribution. When they came to me said I had no money to give thein - wished I had—at the same time feelin in my pocket, where, to my surprise, found a roll of bills ; so I pulled it ou and put it in the box, wondering wher it had come from, but thinking the Lor had somehow provided." In preaching, Dr. Beecher common's used notes, which were something mor than the heads,yet only the skeleton, f his discourse. The bones were there orderly arrangement, but the flesh an blood to clothe them was left to the in- tspiration of the moment. He woul read one of these notes in a plain, straightforward manner, as though it were a scientific statement of fact; then, with a sudden movement of one hand, throw his spectacles on the tap of hi- , head, and break forth in a burst of el (pence. Thus the attractiveness an power of his preaching were almost 'al together hi- its extemporaneous. parts On one occasion he was. announced deliver a discourae,or perhaps a patrioti oration, in the Second Preshyteria church, Cincinnati. When the hour ar rived, the church being crowded to it utmost capacity, in -stead --of De. Beechet Professor Calvin E. Stowe, then a pro fessor in Lane. Seminary, was seen as cending the pulpit stairs, apparently i a very unhappy state of mind. Eviden ly he had no enthusiasm for what h was about to do, which was readily in derstood when he announced that Di. ed, and he had. the tastes of his birth iieether had aaddenly taken ill, and education. He reached the scene of so tha it aus imposeilsle for him peSsonally his proposed labors, awl found, to his deliver the expected disoourse. " ' dismay, that the enterprise was aureadY said -Dr. Stowe, " he sent me his addres • bankrupt, and that he was penniless, and friendless in a -strange land: He worked his way hack to New York, land in midwinter found himself, without money or friends, in a great metropolis. He did not stop to measure the obstacles- in his path--; he simply set out to find - work. He would have preferred the pen, but he was willing to take the shevel ; and the shovel it was to be. Passing dawn Fourth Avenue on a snowy morning, he found a crowd of men at work shoveling- snow from the sidewalks about a well-known locality: he applied for a position -in their ranks, got it, and went to work with a hearty good will, as if shoveling were his voca- tion. Not long after, one of the owners of the property, a many millionaire, passed along the street, saw the young man's face, was struck by its in- telligence, awl- wondered what had brought him to such a pass. A day or two later, his business took him to the same locality again, and brought .him face to face with the same mane -still shoveling snow. He stopped, spoke to him, received a prompt and courteous answer, talked a few minutes forthesake of getting a few facts alsont his &history, and. then asked the young man to call at, his office. That night the shovel era ended, anti the next day at the appoint- -ed time, the young man was .closeted with the millionaire. In one of the latter's many enterprises there -was a vacant place, and the young man who .was willing to shovel got it.. It was a small place, at a small salary, hut he more than filled it ; he filled it well -in- deed, that in a few months he was pro- ; meted, and at the end of three years .he ,wat at the head of the enterprise, nt a large salary. He is there to -day, with :the certainty that if he lives he wall ,eventually fill a position second in im- portance to. none in the field in se -Melt he is working. The story is all told in , three ttords ; wining to shovel. _Dr.. Lyman peeeher. Sothe reconeetiona of this, grand and _food man, dating back to a time nearly arty years since, which it was my good fortune to spend in the same family ,with hinted 'Walnut hills, near Cincin- nati, where he was then President of Lane Seminary, may be interesting even if you have seen some of thein in print before. _ One of the noblest traits of Dr. Beeela- .-er was his perfect honesty. There was hust a hit of -cant about him. He express- ed religious feelings frankly; saying, otot what he theught he ought to feel, as Is so common, but what he really did -feel, es en to the verge, sometimes, of „seem -Mg -irreverence. One evening the tdocter was driving down 'Walnut eaccomputied by Mrs. Beecher, to, fulfill ...an engagement in Cincinnati. He drove rapidly, as tusual--having replied to - some one who found fault with hiut for - so doing.that his time was of more value than the life •:f a horse. On this even- ing, leek ever, rapid driving showed its danger, for iA the dark the doctor's ituggt rollided with something, and its oecupents were violently thrown out. Asssoon as they had collected themselves sufficiently to kuow that no hones -Were broken Mrs. Beecher remarked, " W' -ll: we ought to be thankful that we oire out more hart." " Humph !" gi attry i•-jaculated the doctor; " you can do at you please, but I'm a good deal hurt teytelf." The iii ctor was very fond of water- meloat, and took great delight in (set- ting them himself. Some of the most' brilliant displays of wit and wisdom I ever heard from him were while he was p•reaiding at the dinner table with a . -Ion before him. Tt was his cus- tom t. 4.) to his Maury, for vending and titer supper at eveuing. When an hour since, saying I must come al deliver it !" After a pause, " Well, suppose it's all here except the part wit the spectacles hip ? '-with an explanator gesture imitating Dr. Beecher's marine of taking this position. What th' meant to an audience accustomed to li ten to Dr. Beecher may be imagine( But Dr. Stowe had at least got his at thence into good humor. His occasional absence of mind et s amusingly illustrated at one of a cams of afternoon temperance lecturewhiet he delivered in Cincinnati ; :for he was pioneer in that cause. Driving in froi Walnut Hills, he fastened his horse in - posite the entrance to the lecture root' in which he was to speak. Coming o t with- his mind full of his subject, n doubt, he got into his buggy and a tempted to drive off without unfastenin the horse. Of course the latter form difficulty in proceeding, and tke doct e r resorted to his whip for better persw sion. At that instant a drunken ma I happened to come reeling along the side Walk. Taking in the situation he ba -la eed himself as best he could, and blur ed out: "What you do -hi' there, yo drunken beast? Get out o' that svagoi and untie your horse ?" The doe r looked. at the man, and then at h s horse's head, and for once seemed sta gered for a reply—at least, he' make none, and was about getting out, wile one of his recent audience, in the pre ence of whom the whole affair had a curred, came to his relief, and loosed t horse. • • The Duke's Joke. The late Duke of Wellington got letter once from a lady saying she eh s. soliciting subscriptions for a certa, .church in which she was much interes ed, and had taken the liberty to! p his name down for h:200, awl :hoped. would promptly send her a cheek f .that 'amount. He forthwith rep -lied tie t he was. glad shethought so well .of liii 'certainly he would respond- to. the call ; but he, too, was interested in a certain church which -needed subscriptions, and emitting --on his correspondents wel - known liberality, he had put hr dom. for £200, "awl So," he concluded, ,‘• ;money need pass betWeen us.
