Earl S other influential Englishm themselves in behalf of the s after a struggle of nine victorious. Wm. Noble was born n Chapel in City Road, Land and, "not to put too fine a it," nor yet to make a pun, he was a striker from his birth; hat is, he strirek against existing thins because it was in his nature first to find himself out, and then to try and fi id out what he was meant for and where lie belonged. The first proems gave him elf and his parents plenty of trouble. heY didn't know what to do with h' ; he didn't know what to de with I imself, but seemed bent on resolute resistance to the usual /nodes of parental dealing. He was fond of the theatre, though his first knowledge of it did n t reach be- yond the " penny gaff," a the very cheapeet theatre of thosel days was called. The penny gaff c rnprised a small stage with a srnall 4cene doing duty for all the situations a scene in which a peripatetic moon g rnished an otherwise unchanging sky, e .ship al- ways rocked jerkily on a su- osed-to-be distant bit of green eanva81 ocean, and twe very jealous and ftercej sailors al- ways paid court to and guar eted about the same pretty maid. In 1851, when the elder Noble had risen from coal -whipping to a. place of some importance_ in a manufacturing establishrnent, William, then nine years . old, was snatched from the e charatment of the penny gaff and taken o a board- ing school in Selby, in Yorks ire. The idea of school was hateful to th-e lad, but he never once thought of turning to his stern father for escape fr m it.. He looked well at the schoolmas er, and de- cided that he "didn't like is looks," that he " meant business, ' that he would both lay down and enf rce rules, and striet ones too. - , In twenty-four hours he h d become desperate, and at a favorablejnicment he darted out and took to his heels on the highway to York. He had time Only to get masortably footsore and very hungry when a rela- tive of the farni y found- hirni and took him in. Finding that no Ireadoning, persuasions, or threats: wollicl induce him to refute to. the sthool, this relative wrote to the elder Noble, who came on, teak the boy home, whipped: lam severe- ly, and then put him to sea as a last chance af ketting him discipli ed. But the little fellow wa. as badly mismanaged at sea as at hom On ene occasion the captain put a r pe around his waist and ducked him i the sea, dipping him • again and agar until he was nearly dead: Half dro sating did no more than hard flogging to aterially alter the boy's disposition. He' only needed to be understood, to be intelli- gently laved, in order to be asily led. Wanting this, nothing weit1 right, al- though without it he was, pea fully and very slowly, adjusting hirrise f to this world'. , s 4 percentage age for the nhope and a interested rikers, who, eeks, were ar Wesley's re in 1842, point upon He would not go to sea elgaini and was next put into a shop as ertend :lboy. His father had failed a pessed through the bankruptcy court, and might consider himself i luck to be allowed to carry packages t custom- ers' homes at a weekly saler of two shillings and Sixpence. One day his employer, Mr. Wardell, asked William to take a bund[from his shop in Charles street, St. G orge's in the East, to one Chubb, linep draper, Exmouth street, Clerkenwe I. The bundle was worth thirty-six 1:ti11ings. NVilliara trudged on until he ws met by a well-dressed mau of middle a e. " Where are you going !" said the middle-aged man. William re dily told hixn where and why. "Ah!" said the middle -a ed man, ," you are quite out of your N ay," and then he elaborately misdirecte the boy, passed the word to a coufede ate who goteto bundle, so long as very er scold - d, Wil- der Mr. day .the as f u ri- should of his , the loss pouneed upon the lad when the Royal Exchange, seized th demanded why ' he had been about it, said :Stir.

'- His w rk bad been wearisome, his wages sc4ut, his master hard. He danced a mg cf jubila- tion and ran back home again. The remaining thirty-one shil hies are unpaid to this day. _ But he lea nal the lesson af this iacident thorough] . About this time he began to hang &round the theatres. Full of Ithe dra- matic instinct, as most children re, and Without even the safety -valve of the common excitements and. emulaitions of schoolbay life, what he saw anl heard at the theatres-Ioitering at thci pit en- trance, perched in the flies, or u in the topmost tier under the roof --d dighted him and set his thoughts at work upon such scraps a the thoughts of g eat and little playwrights as thus fell,to his share; a,ad he dates from this ime the beginnings of such education a he has since attained. At the age of fifteen heen, red the - Royal Navys Ile was new just begin- ning to discover that he triliet tr4.in him- self, and he came the more reathy under the discipline of the navy, which taught him method ; but there also he learned to drink. : In the mean time he began Ilo study any and every book he could g4 a hold of, both to learn to read and to learn what he read. The works of that strong apostle of temperance, William Ellery Charming, came in his way, and, to use his own words, "he was captured by him." He read and studied Chan - fling until he knew him by heart and by head. When his discharge from the navy was purchased in 1861, these studies had prepared him to enter into a religious and moral reform work then at its height in Woolwich, and called the lAroolwieli Boys! Movement," led by one Captain Orr. Young Noble eeme under religious conviction, gave up drink, and took the platform, talking on temperance and religion in au illiter- ate way, but with such warmth and eh- ergy that he was known as "the Wool- wich Boy." „ Between the yearn1861 and 1871 he had, worked his why on, had been a warehouseman, and finally was heed of the firm of Noble &,Corapady, stay aid cor- set manufacturers, 49 Lower Whitecross Street. -He was popular among his ac- quaintances,- energetic and successful in business. Too - successful, for neithert his moral nor spiritual development -had yet acquired the fibre which is strength- ened and inspired by.success. He had kept on with his studies; ask- ing advicems to what books to read, and then not only reeding these hooks, but carefully transcribingthene'word for word, from beginning to end, and repeating them daily, page by -page, from - memory; and not only this, but anderlining every word ,he did, not, ander:stand,seatching out their mean- ings in the dictionary, and then insert- ing on the margin of his books, on a line With the underscored words, the num- 'bers of the pages in the dictideary which held these definitions. By these various- laborious processes he Made the treasures of the hest Eng- lish literature really his own. • Among works thus studied were the Bible, Milton's prose and -verse, Addi- son's essays in the "Spectator" and " Trahels in Italy," Shakespeare, Math caulay„ and a long list of the ablest-' critical essays amitributed , for years to the " Edinburgh" and ether English. re- vieWs ; Channing and Lometellow, etc. have seen some of these books, with-. the'. evidences, marginal and otherwise, of all this patient - me:If-culture. On the fly -leaf of one of them is written, "To be kept eiways iii the family." A far • prouder heirloam is such, a volume than the rarest diamond ever yielded by Gol- conda. But be • had returned to one habit which kept pace with and outstripped all this industry .at books, this intel- lectual growth, aud this business sue - cess -the habit of drink! It was strong enough to pull dawn the whole struc- ture, and in -1871, at thirty-one years Of age, he • stood with lost business, lost ahances, and wasted success behind him., and with actual need in the present; at his whole stock -upon which to'beeiri life over again.- It was now for the -, first time that he really -ie the words of De- tective Backet-"reckoned himself up."' But this he did in earnest,and at last mith a good understanding of himself,. Thietime he struck at the root -self- indulgence. He signed 'the pledge, and has kept it, thionigh some sten strag- gles., faithfully ever since. He. began' business again in a small 'way, an4 was asked to speak at temperance Meetings.: It wa's up -hill. work, but he went :On steadily. His parents died. ..Before her death his mother gave him a copy of the autobiography and orations 6f Jahr/ B. Gough. Both the manner and sub- stance of these orations strengthened his resolve to abstain, and he committed the principal ones to memory. Subsequent- lyche , delivered them from memory to 75,000 people ia thirteen nights in the National Standard.. Theatre of London. He continued -these recitals in Landoll and.the Provinces, attracting great at- tention and doing much good. Stimu- lated by his extol*, many young men tried to.. follow. it, and some are still making these recitals with good effect in different pants of the country. In 1873 gr.. antis, a gentleman in- fluential in London stage matters, see- ing with what/ effe-ct Mr. Noble deliv- ered the Gough orations (Ma Noble in- terpreted these orations in his own way, not Iteving at that time ever met :Mr., Gough); . endeavored . to engage him to play certain Dickens tolesesuch asQuilp Serje-ant B-uzfue, and "little Joe. This was a- greet temptation to. Mr: Noble,.Whe is a natural actor and has always had a strong predilection .far .the' stage. But he , was aosv thoroughly awake to the first duty -self -reforma- tion t and to the second duty, which is the outcome of the firet, and a proof that the first has been really fulfilled -that of 'helping others. . He knew that a theatrical life would bring hitn into association • with 'drink and away from temperance work. - In 1875 he made his sfinal choice between,' the stage, business life, and all other callings,- and that of the temperance worker, choosing.the last, and giving his whole mind and might to it. . He made his first -a long _ietended- visit to the Unieed . States and Canada ia 1877, -carrying press testimonials and letters from members of Parliament and other representative Englishmen. John B. Ge -ugh .welcateAl him heartily. So did the Rev: Die Cutyler, the Hon W. E. Dodge, I. N. Stearns, of the h:ational Temperance Satiety, and Mr. Talmage, and their example was followed by dis-., tinguished -citizens and.. temperance_ workers and organizations of Brooklyn, Bos -ton, -and various other places. This visit was confined chiefly to New Eng- land and Canada, arid he spoke to large audiences in the principal -chtitches of the towns visited: While in New Yorkl he went with Mr. Gough to sec the' working. of the McAuley Mission, a con- vention of the poor and depraved,' who. were kindly received and invited to speak a minute eaph, in the' hope that, same. common ground for bettering -their condition. might be reached. " What could they say in a minute?" said Mr. Noble, in alluding to this -occasion. " Well, some of them said in a minute what I couldn't say in an bout - This led him to resolve that on -re- turning to England he Would quit or,' dioary lecturing, and commence some such work as the McAuley Mission in London. At first he could find neither buildino- nor location within the necessary limi- tations of his .plan. He persisted, and, ,by the help -of friends, secured the.

The frauds that have been perpetrated an the spectacle wearing public by most .dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy •narnes to ordinary glass, speaks forefthe ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. • There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfaetured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in 'freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond.' The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent atone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of Power is placed inamediately.over the , centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer -a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ondinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. - All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are staMped B.
