'Bide here a wee, till I see some of my friends who have been tak in''taties till the fair, an' I will make them gie ye a lift in the empty carts till Fort William." Such a cart came along in the latter part of the afternoon, and Quentin was taken in. The cart journeyed on far into the night, whichdarkness:; had no but, with his head on his bundle, Quen- tin fell into such deep sleep that he did not know when the cart stoped and the horse was taken out. When, he woke, he was stiff and cold, and lying in the wagon in the farmers stock -yard. .Presently the farmer came out, laughed at him and told him to go into the house and get his breakfast. _ the housewife gave him a low stool near the fire, heap- ed hot oat -porridge in a big bowl and ponied on liberal new milk.

"Thank you n uch, mistress," he said . handing back the empty bol. "May I speak with the roaster." Hes ewer; he'll no be back whiles. What is wantln' ?" " I wad ask if he pleased to hire me for a time." Na, na !" said the dame, "gag yer ways. - We have o'er-mony lade, I can- na have another round to do for: Ye are welcome to the lift an' - breakfast ; but if ye has a roaster waitin'ye in Glas- gow, getto him quickly." " So I must," said Quentin, who had but desired a little work to replenish his pocket. " Good -morning, mistress." -" Well," said 'the woman, admiring his bow, " ye are a mannerly child. 1 li say for ye, ye have the air of a . gentle- man ; yer looks an' bebavin wadna dis- Lgrace the son of our laird, good luck till ye ,» As night drew on after a -long ,day's walk Quentin was near Fort William, and concluded to seek supper and leave to rest under a shed at a small house, on the way. When he proffered the request, the farm -woman in a loud tope crieNa na, ye runaway ! There's many of yer stripe roamin' ; the con- stable catch all beggars, I say ! Awa' with ye !" and she ahut the door in his face. - Overwhelmed with :shame at being called yes, really being—a beggar, and fearful of the threatened constable, Quentin, faint and hungry, pursued his way for half a mile, then, completely worn out, 'viten a stone and hid his face in his hands. He was roused by a " Holes, lad ! what's, wrong ?" Before him stood fa man and a boy, each with staff and bundle. Even to Quentin's inexperienced eye they looked _ a rascally pair, and the boy had a dis- tressing likeness to ' the delinquent Neil. But the man spoke kindly. ""Are ye travelin yer lane, lad Where awn' ?" " To Glasgow." "Hoot ! it is a long way, bat none so far from our road. We're bound for Clifton lead-mines,whereis work plenty and easy and wages high. It will not be out of your way ,to keep us company, an' I'll be a father to ye on the' road. Come,now, to begin, ye look starved, and ye sail sup with me. here's bread an' meat an' cheese." In fact, he spread out a very fair meal and gave Qaantin an equal share. He then said he knew a good place along the road to stop over night and it should coot Quentin nothing to sleep with his boy in the haymow at the inn -barn. That would be better than lying out in. the dew without a plaid ; so Quentin thankfully accompanied the pair to a dismal little public•houseat the edge of Feet William, The two boys were at once sent to the haymow in the small shed called a barn ; the man went to the bar of the house and entered an atmosphere thick with pipes, oaths and ale. Of this Quentin sew -nothing. He was • • wretchedly tired, thankful for shelter, and soon fell asleep. He concluded to join company with these two if they urged it, for he was in a desperate state and told himself he had now noth- ing to lose. (To be continued.) The Law of Kindness.

"Had I been killed," he used to say afterwards, " no one oould have at- tributed it to the drink I had taken, and yet I am firmly convinced that it wise the - drink that did it.

The other morning, says Puck, as the departing Cunard steamship was casting off its lines and swinging out into the stream, an elderly -looking business man hastily embraced a lady who was done of the passengers 'and ° rushed down the gangplank to the wharf. Going hurriedly up to a melancholy loafer who was watching the .busy crowd, the gentleman drew hiin behind a pile of freight and said : Want to earn a dollar ?" " You bet." "Yeu see that lady in black on the bridge there ?" said the citizen.;, Cert. " Well, that's my wife, going to Eu- rope. Now, of course, she'll expect me twenty stand here for the next ent Y min- utes; while thesteamship is backing and fooling around, so as to wave my hand- kerchief and watch her out of sight. See ?" " I ketch on, boss." " Well, I'm too busy to fool around here ; stock to buy, biz to attend to. She's a little near-sighted ; so I'll just hire you to wave this handkerchief in- stead! It's a big one with a red bor- der, and as long as she sees it she'll thinket's me. Come up to 202 Wall street when they are off and I'll pay you." " S'pooin' she looks through the tele- scope or suthin'?" " In that case you'll have to bury your face in the handkerchief and do the - great weep act." "That will be fifty cents extra." " All right. Time, is money. Look sharp now ! You can kiss your bands a few times a, say one dime per kiss," and snapping his watch the over -driven busi- ness man rushed off. We print this affecting little incident to call attention to the fact that the man thus employed has gone into the business regularly. He is now a pro- fessional fareweller, and business men and others can save valuable time and yet give their departing relatives an enthusiastic send-off . by applying to the above specialist any steamship day. Go early to avoid the rush. The Ways are Tw0 W y s o f There Proposing. There are two styles of " Proposing.''

The Teuton who could speak some 'English went to the grocer and paid a bill which had been standing for several weeks. " Now you are all square, Hans." I vas vat ?" " You are square, I said." " 1 vas square ?" " Yes—you are all square now. t Hans was silent for a moment, then with reddening faze and flashing eyes, be brought his plump fiat down upon the counter and said : " See here, mine frent, I vil have no more pusiness wit you. I treat you like a ' shentleman, 1 pay my pill, and you make a choke of me -you say I vas square, ven I know I vas round as a barrel. I don't like such schokes. My business wit you vas done.' "No Fooling." The other day a Detroit lawyer had a call to go into the country a,Mew miles to attend a case on trial before a country squire and while jogging along in his buggy, he saw a man running across the fields at the top of his speed. Di • rectly behind him, and. armed with a stout stick, was a woman, and it was a nip -and -tuck race to the fence. The man reached it first, however, and as he dropped on the highway side he called out to the lawyer : " Stranger, for' Heaven's sake . give me a lift down the road for half; a mile." " What'a the trouble here:?" asked the lawyer. ; . " Wife and I have another falling out !" was the reply, aa. the man rol led down a steep bank to the buggy. The woman at this moment reached the fence, and as she was climbing over, the lawyer inquired of the hus- band : "Are you fooling or in earnest ?" " If you think I'm fooling just wait a second 1" gasped the woman, as she plunged down the bank, rolled over and over in the road, and rose up with a big stone ineach hand. "Squat !" yelled her husband, as he circled around the horse, but the lawyer wasn't quick enough. !ne of the stones hit him on the back, sad the other grazed his ear and hit the horse, and five or six more were coming as `he struck a trot and moved off, the,husband hanging to the vehicle and running be- hind. When a safe distance away the lawyer halted aid looked back. The woe man stood in the middle of the road shaking both fists at him, and the hus- band wiped the beads of perspiration off his cheeks and chin and said : •" Stranger, Banner and me never have any fooling. When she's good- natured -I git one shirt a week and two meals a day. When she's mad one of us has got to light out, and I wish next time you come this way you'd tell . me if there is anybody •in Detroit who can make me a pair of wings." From Mr. Angell's address to the an- nual meeting of "" The National Associa- tion of Superintendents of .eublic Schools," at Washington, Columbia • District, February 14, 1888 : " Nearly all the criminals of ,the future, the thieves, burglars, incendiar- ies and murderers, and the greater criminals who commit national. crimes are in our public schools now, and we are educating them. We can mould them now if we will. To illustrate the power of education : We know that the same boy may be made Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Mohammedan. It is simply question of education. You may put into his little hands, at first toys, whips, guns and swords, or you may teach him, as the Quakers do, that war and cruelty are crimes. You may teach him to shoot the little song bird in springtime, with its nest full of young, or you may teach him to feed the bird and spare its neat. You - may go into the schools now with book, picture, song and story, and make neglected boys merciful, or you may let them drift until, as men, they become sufficiently lawless and cruel to throw your railway trains off the track, place dynamite under your dwelling houses or public buildings, assassinate your Presi- dent, burn half your city, or involve the nation in civil war. " Is it not largely, if not wholly, a question of education ? "I am sometimes asked, " Why do you spend so much of your time and money in talking about kindness to animals, when there is so We ch are workeruelts g at to tithe And I answer, roots.' Every humane publication, every lecture, every step in doing or teaching kindness to them, is a step to prevent'crime—a. step in promoting the growth of those qualities of heart which will elevate human souls, even in the dens of sin and shame., and prepare the way for the coming of peace on earth and good will to men.

Newsboys naturally develop a quick- ness at reading faces, as well as free- dom in asking and answering questions. One of this class was peddling his wares in a railway train, and in passing back and forth• was struck with the appear- ance of a woman. She looked distin- guished, and as he dumped his paper - covered novels into the laps, of the other passengers, he passed her by. At last his curiosity got the better of all other considerations. He found among his books one by Mrs. , Stowe, and on his next trip he proffered it to the very diguified lady, but she declined it. "Excuse me," said the boy, " but a'int you Mrs. Stowe?" The stranger shook her head and dis- claimed the compliment. Tne boy went down the aisle, but on his return he stopped again. " Than perhaps you're Mrs. Stanton?" The woman smiled and again shook her head. But the newsboy was not to be baffled. "Would you mind telling me who you are, ma'am ?" " It is not likely the fellow was much the wiser when the woman gave her name as Maria Mitchell. Probably he had never heard of our famous astron- omer, but he was . equal to theme emer- gency.

Two sailors once went with a tame parrot to a show in Tokio, Japanwhere a Japanese was giving an exhibition of slight of hand tricks. At the end of each, one of the sailors said, "Now, isn't that clever ? Wonder what he'll do next ?" The parrot heard this so often that he picked it up. Presently the Japanese, while trying to keep in the air a number of bamboo sticks lighted at both ends, dropped one on a heap of fire -crackers and bombe, which exploded and sent the parrot up about one hundred yards. As the bird came down it shrieked : " Wasn't that clever ? Wonder what he'll do next?"—Catholic Columbian.
