"I suppose you have work for me to
do there?"
NO,my boy, I am going for the
presentto put you at school."
Ten years later two gentlemen stood'
outside an office; over the door of which
a Sign bore in gilt letters the name,
" Philip Cushing, Architect."
"You think Mr. Cushing is the one
to plan and superintehd the building for
me, do you?" asked one of the other,
anxiously. Yon know enormous ex-
pense ia involved in its erection."
- "Certainly I do " was the prompt,
emphatic reply. "And as to the expense
- involved, it makes no difference whether
„ the work be small or great, only the best
service will be rendered, but, let me
tell you one thing, you must allow
weeks, perhaps months, before expect-
ing Mr. Cushing to be able to give you
much, attention. His order -book is a
• pretty closely packed affair."
"When evening came, a tall, stately-,
looking man,tavith eyes remarkable as an
• index of the Most fearless integrity of
soul, its beside a very old man with a'
placid, contented face, who likes to
place his hand on the arm of his younger
companion, while they discuss the busi-
nets and events of the day.
"Don't work too hard, Phil ; don't
my boy," cautions the older man.
"you know there's ample store. laid by
for your use some day, and I want you
to enjoy it. There's no need whatever
ler overwork."
"Why, work is glorious !" laughs
Phil. "You've fitted me, by God's
blessing, to do things, as my sainted
mother begged me to, in the best way,
and now it is simply a delight to do it."
"Yes, my boy, says the old man,.
musingly, " I see you love your work;
bat I've given you some lessons -you
little suspect me of. I've often thought
I'd like to confess to one hard, disciplin-
ary task I mice set you '•" and„ with his
caressing hand on Phil's artn, and his
eyes resting fondly on the beloved face
of his dear boy, Mr. Wyncoop tells him
for the first time the part he played in
the laying of the corner plank.
• Gaieties.
-A good way te slap an enemy on
both cheeks at the same time is to buy
his boy a drum.
-" In union there is strength," as
the creamery man said when he mixed a
lot of lard with the 'butter.
-An exchange says: "Nine -tenths
of the unhappy marriages result from
human calves being allowed to run at
large in societ , pastures."
-Love mayl make the world go round,
Jut it seldom makes it go square. If
you doubt this, listen to the talk of two
women wholo `-e the same man. -

-" Why, ir. B.," said a tall, youth
to a little per n who was in company
with half-a-doOn huge men, " I protest

rible maisaerea, there is always one who
escapes to ten the tale."
-My old fellow traveller in Germany,
says Plana, himself an Irishman:, being
on the box of an Irish mail coach on a

enveloping his neck in the voluminous
folds of an ample comforter, remarked,
"Von seem to be taking good care of

-" Yes," said the young clergyman,
" I always said I would marry that girl,

fellow. The only consolation I get out
of the affair is the fee." .

• Selling Liquor to Minors.
A PUNGENT SENTENCE 13"1 A tUICAGO
. JUDGE.
In sentencing three dealers in Chicago
for selling liquor to minors, Judge Read-
ing said, :
By the law you may sell to men and
women if they will buy. You have given
your bond, and paid your license to sell
to them, and no one has a right to molest
you in your legal business. No matter
what the coneequence may be, no matter
what poverty and destitution are pro-
duced by your selling according to law,
you have paid your money for this priv-
ilege, and you are licensed to pursue
your calling. , No matter What families
are disgraced and made miserable, no
matter what wives are treated With -vio-
lence,, what children. starve or ,-mourn
over the degradation of a parent, your
[easiness is legalized, and no ope may in-
terfere with you in it. No mbater what
mother may agonize over the lose of a
son, or. sister blush at the shame of a
inother, you have a right to disregard
them all and parsue your legal calling: -
you are licenSed-! You may fit up
..;..our lawful plebe of business in the most
enticing and captivating form, yo u may
furnish it with the moat costly and ele-
gant equipments for -your Is.wful trade;
you may fill it with the allurements of
amusement; you may use all your arts
to _induce visitors; you may skilfully
arrange and expose to view your choicest
wines- and most captivating, beverages;
you may then induce thirst by all con-
trivances to produce a raging appetite
for drink, and then you may supply
that appetite to the full, bee,ause it is
lawful; you have paid for it -you have
a license.
You may allow boys, almost children,
to frequent your saloon; they may wit-
ness the apparent satisfaction with which
their seniors quaff the sparkling glass;
you may be schooling and training them
for the period of twenty-one, when they,
too, can participate,for all this is lawful.
You may hold the cup to their very lips,
but you must not let them drink -that -
is unlawful. But while you have all
,these privileges for the money you pay,
this poor privilege of selling to children
is denied you. Here parents have the
right to say, "leave my son to me
until the law gives you the right to
destroy him." Do not anticipate that
terrible moment when I can assert for
him, no further rights of protection.
That will be soon enough for me, for his
mother, for his sister, for his friends,
for the community to see him take his
road to death. Give him to us in his
childhood at least. Let us have a few
years of his youth, in which we can enjoy
his innocence to repay us in some small
degree for •the care and love we have
lavished upon him. • This is something
you who now stand prisoners -at the bar
have not paid for, this is noembraced
in your license. ,
For this offence, the court eentences
yort to ten days imprisonment in the
county jail, and that you pay a fine of
$75 and costs; and that you stand conii-
onitted until the fine and costs -14 this
prosecution are paid.
The Twenty -Fifth BirthidaY.
[The Trivellers Record.]
And so I'm almost an old maid It seems so
strange to say; -
And yet 'tis only too true, for I've turned the
first corner to -day.
The years have been gay and happy, and have
. sped like a tale that is told;
And I've lived for a quarter of a century—why,
it makes me feel frightfully old! • ,
Why did I never -marry? It really seems so odd
. tome
For of all things an old maid is whati never in-
tended to be.
A cat and a cup of tea! That sounds remark-
• ably clever; •
And my maiden name on -my tombstone, to pub-
• lish the fact forever a.
but the force of the water was so great
that he could not replace the cap on the
pump. Without a word he ran to the
deck, jumped ashors, ad took the cars
for his- home in another State. The
water soon filled the hod of the vessel,
and in spite of every eff rt the steamer
sank. Thousands of do lars of damage
was doneto the engine nd furniture of
the cabin and staterooms. and the vessel
was prevented from sailing on the usual
date, thus causing another loss to the
owners, and great inconvenience to the
public. -
What do you suppose was the man's
answ,er to the questions as to the cause
of the abeident ? "1 did not think."
You see, he had not learned, when a
• little boy, -to give his whole attention to
the work in hand."Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to do, dp it with all thy
might." And to do wi h all the power
of which a man or wom n is capable, it
is necessary to learn to give full atten-
tion when a child, whe her it be work ,
or play ; if it is worth doing atoll, it is
worthy of the whole a tention. Never
make "Laid not think" an excuse for a
stupid aotion. It is th part of wisdom
to think. •
There was Phil, who went. sailing seven years
ago to'sea ;
From the time we wore bib -aprons, he was al:
. ways devoted to me ;
Wherechildren we made mud pies, and . went to
school together, .
And played hide-and-seek in the garret, in sea-
sons of stormy.weethere
But he grew up tall and awkward, and not a bit
the kind -
Of the noble, distinguished lover I'd always had
in my nund.,
Not that he was bad -looking, but he was so mat-
teroafact • • '
_ His hands an'dfeet were a nuisance, and he
hadn't a bit tf tact.
So I wasn't so very sorry when he Went Only to
, I sea;
How well I reinLinber the night when he bade
good -by to the !
'Twee at the garden gate, and the moonlight was
bright as day, •
Turning the dewdrops to diamonds, as-. on , the
flowers they lay.
The scene was lovely enciiigh to move a cynic to
' poetry,
But Phil was not sentimental ; he talkedrof his
voyage—and me; • -
And added, as awkwardly as ever, as he twirled
, his hat in his hand,
"But I can't take all of myself -to sea, for I leave
• my heart on land !" •• -
"Such a course I fear you'll have reason here:
after to greatly regret,'
I said, as I stooped to gather a handful of
mignonette.
"Then before I get' back," he said at last;
you'll marry some other man ?"
"1 think very likely," .f answered, "I -certainly
shall if I coil!"
There was eilene thee for a moment, save the
wash of the waves on the shore,
Then he raised his hat and bowed. (He was
.never so graceful before!)
",1 wish you every happiness, he said, " as well
as the man,
Whoever he is, whom you've made up your mind
to marry—that is, if you can 1"
1 was angry, of course,—so provoking,— so we
parted very coolly polite.
I know I didn't- regret it, yet a pall came over
the night. _ •
But to show my independence, as I went to the
house I sung;
Well, no matter what's said to the contrary, it's
nice to be foolish and young !
My next suitor was young Fitzgerald; he was
handsome enoughel know;
Fine-looking and fashionably dressed,—decided-
ly comme il faut ;
But I saw him push rudely a lame 'girl, in a
• crowd one day as we stood:
1 was certain he wasn't the elle 1 was going to
• get if I could!
•
The next was old Judge Gray, my senior a score
. of years ;
But he was worth a million or more, so who
could have any fears?
I was somewhat dazzled, and maybe I coaldn't
have said hinanaye
Had I not seen his reflection with mine in a full-
length mirror one day.
So the Prince with the rightful slipper has never
come to this day;
Or can it be I have made -a mistake,—that he
came and I turned him away ?
I wish I had spoken more kindly to Phil in the
long ago •,
The roughest of diamonds is richer than the
• smoothest of pebbles, 1 -know.
But perhaps I can bring some sunshine into
somebody's rainy day, .
Which will—but who is this stranger, I wonder,
' coming this way?. •
Ile is going, I fear, to invade my sanctum under
this tree;
How handsome and noble he is! I wonder who
he can be !
Deacon Osgood.? He lives a quarter of a mile
or more
From here, sir, in the house where the honey-
suckle is climbing over the door.
I am his daughter, yes, sir; but you have the
advantage still • .
I do not remember to have met you—unless—it
le—Phil !"
• "A -Once Popt4ar .Book."
The brief notice some months since of
the death of the author' of "The Wide,
Wide World" must haye been to many
the announcement of Ithe death .of . a
friend. "The Wide, Wide World"
has, perhaps, been rowded off the
shelves by a newer litefrature, but have
the children profited bjj the exchange?
To me its charm is perennial, and I can
but feel that the young people of to -day
do notrknow what they haver -Mimed.
The reading of that book was an epoch
in my life. The people and places were
as real to Me as those of my own town.
I shed bitter tears ever Ellen's parting
with her mother in the cold, gray light
of the .early morning; I shared the dis-
comforts and privations of her dreary
journey to : Thirlwall, and Sympathized
in her disappointment over cold, calcu-
lating,- untoving Aunt Fortune. Ellen's
familiar haunts were as familiar as my
own. I knew the path to the swamp
where grew the blood -root and spring
beauties; and her sorrow was mine
when after her _unfortunate excursion
with -Nancy Vawse, and the falling into
the brookaall her white stoekings were
.colored brown except one favorite
pair..
I entered heartily hito the human life
of the book; especially that which con-
cerned John and Alice Humphreys. As
a child 1 enthroned John Humphreys as
my ideal of manhood, and he has never
been displaced. • Ellen's talks with these
friends I read over. and over until I
knew them by heart. The religion she
learned from theni seemed to me beauti-
ful and attractive,- yet not Unattainable.
Any thoughtful child ;trying to do right
might Jive the life she lived,with its
every -day i struggles ; and . temptations,
victories and defeats, such as come- in.
her daily toil at Aunt Fortune's, and
in that memorable Christmas , visit at
Ventnort .
•
I can truly say that no.book after the
Bible ever filled me with, such a desire
to be a Christian or helped me so much
in my early Christian life ,• while the
story of Alice's deathi made heaven seem
near and real, and dying but going home.
I am sure that Ellen Montgomery's
mall .red Bible and little Methodist
-hymn-book invested ..Bible and hymn-
book with a, preciousness they had never
pessessed before. ,
When I reflect that my experience
must be that of many others who read
this book in childhood, I wish most
earnestly that fathers, mothers, and
teachers would call back this " once
popular book" to the library and the
fireside, so. that its healthful influence
may through a haat Of new readers go
• out to bless the wide, wide world." -
E. E. W., in the Christian Union.
Qhildhood's Devotions. •
—How could I have thought him awkward! It
really seems so strange—
But then I was young and foolish, and seven
• years make such a change!
We're talking now of a voyage which we have to-
gether panned; • _ •.
For he has told me he came to look after his
heart. which he left on land ! •
C. I. CLINGIN.
He Did Not Think.
• Down in the fireroom of a big steamer
that was lying recently at the wharf in
New York, a young man was told to do
a certain piece- of work in connection
with the pumps. There were two
pumps close together in the room; one
was for feeding the boiler, the other to
use in case the ship should take fire.
This latter one was capable of throwing
a volume of water,as large as a man's
body.
The young man; who had been em-
ployed On the ship for three years, and
had always proved himself efficient and
reliable, was the only person left in
charge of the tire and engine rooms.
After the order was given to attend to
the work necessary for the engine pump,
he removed the cap from the fire pump.
In a moment he discovered his • error,

• The Spectator has often admired the
ajenplicity of childhood's devotions, and
envied the readiness with which a child,
not instructed in that mistaken reverence
which separates life into departments -
the religious and the secular -passes
from one to the other without halting
for a moment at the transition. .A friend
sitting on the Spectator's porch the other
evening told two stories in illustration
of this delightful habit which we, alas !
outgiew. - A little girl was very fond of
pickles, and so devoted to them that as
a reward for good behavior she was fre-
quently allowed to take a pickle to bed.
One night she laid her,pickle on the edge
of a chair by the side; of her bed while
she knelt to say her prayer. In the
midst of her devotions she heard her
little sister come into the room and take
her pickle. She said, "Oh, dear Lord,
excuse me a minute till I get my pickle,"
ran and took the pickle away from her
little sister, and then knelt down
and finished her prayer just where she
left it. ,
A little boy would never repeat the
prayers his mother . taught him, and
though he would say, "Now I Lay Me"
and Our Fathei "in the daytime, he
would never say them at night, because
he said it was " notbeing polite to God."
One day the family physician, an inti-
mate friend of his father's, took the little
fellow to his office, where all the morn-
ing he could leek out on the square and
see Barnum's circus parade. After the
unusual excitement of the day he was so
weary he could hardly hold his eyes
open while his mother undressed him.
She said: "Now Ernest, just say Now
I Lay Me,' and jump into bed." But he
knelt down and persisted in composing
his usual prayer for papa, and for
mamma, and for Dr. *Fred, when he
sleepily added,-" New, good -night, dear
Lord, -I am too tired'-" but, suddenly
recollecting himself, he pulled open his
eyes and added, in the most confidential
manner, "It's been l very pleasant day,
0 Lord. I've had a beautiful time,and
I hope you've enjoyed the circus.
Good -night," and awas put into bed
sound asleep.
