I've been thinking, I've boen thinking,
What a gloriotw world were this ,
Did folk miid their own bnaineas more.
And mind their neighbor leas,
For instance, you and I, my friend
Are eadly prone to talk
x Of matters that concern u not.
And others' follies mock.
I've been thinking, if we'd begin
To mind our own affairs, , p
That posaibly oar neighbors might f
Contrive to manage theira.
We've faults eaough at home to mend
It may be so with others: f
It would eeeia a;rauge if it were not;
ninco all mankind are brothers, ,
Oh, would that wo had charity
Yor very man arvJman;
Forgiveness is the mix a. of those
Who know 4 To err is human."
Then let us banish jealousy
Lot u lift our fallen brother;
And as we journey down life s road,

How it did rain that November night !
None of your undecided showers, with
hesitating intervals, as it were between
none of your mild, persistent patterings
on the roof, but a regular tempest, a wild
delude, a rush of arrowy drops and a thun
der of openinir Hoods !
Squire Pratlet heard the rattling up
against me casements, anu urew ms snug
easy chair closer to the fire a great open
mass ot glimmering anthracite, ana gazed
with a sort of sleepy, re3ective satisfac
tion at the crimson moreen curtains, and a
gray cat fast asleep on the hearth, and the
canary bird rolled into a drowsy ball of
yellow down upon its perch.
'This is snug," quoth the squire : I'm
glad 1 had the leaky spot in the barn fixed
last week. I don't object to a stormy
night once in a while when a fellow's un
der cover, and there is nothing particular
ly to be done."
"Ye."," Airs. Fratlet answered. bhc
was Hitting about between the kitchen and
sitting room, with a great blue checked
apron tied about her waist. 'I am nearly
ready to come in how. Well I wonder"
sotto voice, "if that was a knock at tbe
door, or just a little rush of the wind."
She went to the door, nevertheless' and
a minute or two afterwards she went to
her husband's chair. i"
"J oc'f deur, it's Luke Hudduove, she
said, half apprehensively. The Squire
never looked up from his reading.
Tell him he has made a mistake. The
tavern is ou the second corner beyond.
"But he wr.uts to know if you will lend
him a dollar," said Mrs. Pratlet.
Couldn't you tell him no, without the
ceremony of coming lo me i Is it likely
that 1 should lend a dollar, or even a cent,
to Luke Uiuldiiove. - Why, I'd a great
deal rather throw ii among yonder red coals.
No of cours not."
Mrs. Pratlet hesitated.
"lie looks bo pi 1 died and cold and
wretched, Josiah. , He says there is' no
body iuthe wor.il to let him have a cent."
"All the better tor him, if he did but
know it," sharply enunciated the old
Squire. "It he hud come to that half a
dozen years a..:o, perhaps he would not
have been the miserable vagabond he now
is."
'We used to goto school together,"
said Sirs. Pratlet, gently. He was the
smartest loy in the class."
"That's -probable enough, ' said the
Squire, but it don't alter the lac He is
a poor drunken wn.tch now. ' Send him
about his bu.-iuess, Mary ; and if his time
is of any consequence, just let -him know
he had tetter not waste it coming here
ufier dollar.-."
And the Nmire leaned back iu his chair,
after a j o?itive fashion, as if the whole
matter was settled.
Mis. 1'ratlvt went back to the kitchen
where Luke Huddilove w;as spreading his
poor lintels over the blaze ot the lire, his
lattered .atuieuts fctean.ing as if he was a
pillar of vapor.
"Then I've got to starve like any other

But utter all, I dout suppose it makes
much difference if I shuthc out oi this
world to-dav or tomorrow."
- 'jOh Luke no difference to your wife?'.'
"She'd be better off without me," he
said, down -heart edly.
'But she ought not to be."
"Jught, hud is, are twodifferent things
Mis. Pratlet. Goodnight; I ain't going
to the tavern, although I'll wager some
thing the Squire thought 1 was."
"And isn't it natural enough that he
should think so, Luke?"
"Yes, yts, Mary; 1 dou'V say but what it

spent the dollar for liquor.
Six months six years : the time
along in days and weeks, almost before
busy little Mrs. Pratlet knew that it was
gone. The Ruddiloves had returned to
Sequosset. Luke had made his fortune,
so the story went, far off in El Dorado.

was nothing but a poor drunken creature."
tin of the third note, he is insensible to
clanger and becomes an easy prey to "the
rifle of the expert huntsman. Of course if
you adopt the English idea of sport, you
can buiid a miniature hut or blind of

in cold blood. But this is far different
from the genuine sport, where foot and
baud, eye and ear, are on the alert to take
advantage of any indiscretion of your
quick-witted opponent. It 4s a contest be
tween the acute intellect of the featherless
biped and the keen instinct of his feathered
piototype. The golden eagle, the tiger of
his race, is occasionally seen circling
around his eyrie amomr the lofty crafrs.
"All the more credit to him now," said
Mrs. Pratlet, emphatically.
"It's to be all ot stone, with white man
tels and inlaid floors ; and he has put a. lot
of papers and thirgs under the corner one,
Jike they do in public buildings."
"Well, that iB natural enough."
"I know, yet it seems kind o' queer
that he should put a dollar biil in with the
other things. He must have lots o' money,
to throw it away in that manner."
Mrs. Pratlet felt her cheeks flush. In
voluntarily she glanced towards the Squire.
But he never looked round. She met Mr.
Ruddilove that afternoon for the first time
since his return to Sequosset Luke him

me when all oUiers gave me nought but the
cold shoulder. " You trusted me when all

took a vow to myself to prove worthy of
your confidence, and I kept it. I treasured
it up, and Heaven has added mightily to
my little store. I have put the bill in the

The next day Mrs. Pratlet received from
the delivery man at her door, a bundle,
which, when she had opened it, revealed
to her astonished gaze the most betfutiiul
piece of oil-cloth her eyes had ever beheld.

You may have been a passenger on a

half-dollar off the cushion or a dollar-biil

an owmr. At such a time every man in
stinct ively feels- iu his- pockets. Every
man feels like saying that he is the lucky

strains him, and he remembers thatOeorge
Washington could not tell a lie. The
money is invariably pocketed by the finder,
and he is set down iriMhe opinions of his
follow-p?ssengers as contemptible and

On a Woodward avenue, Detroit, car
recently a young man purposely dropped a
greenback on the floer, and at a proper
moment he picked it up and observed :
"Who lost this dollar ?"
Every one looked at himr and every
myuth watered.
"Did any one drop this bill ?" continued
the young man as he held up a corner.
There was another embarrssing pause.
Then a man reached out for it with the re
mark:
"I dropped it, sir. You are an honest
man to return it."
"Are you sure you dropped it ?"
"1 am. I am not a liar
"But you see yeu ," stammered
the young man.

the mainmast. Tno topmast had al
been carried away, and the boom, which,
when the vessel struck had been oa tha
starboard sida. was now on the port side,
and the starboard channel platea bad all

led the crew to suppose that the smack had
turned completely oyer, f if the Pro

come up again on th saint side, the star
board would all the time have been the lee

would have caused the breaking of the Ire

Those who take cold from bathing, of
ten do so, not from the bath itself, but from
the contact of the bare feet with the metal
bottom of the bath tub. This may be
avoided by doubling a towel to stand on
during the bath, and an abundant sponge
bath may thus be taken easily without risk.
Authorities all agree that cold water is the
best of cosmetics, and those who wish for
good complexions can emp'oy no better
means to that end than the daily bath. Be

The woods about fifty English miles

In less than two months eleven children
have been carried away and eaten by the
beasts. Very recently a little boy, aged 9
years, was overtaken on the high road by
a single wolf and dragged into a neighbor

only- by the approach of a stalwart peas

In the afternoon the deckhand .had the

that a heavy sea was bearing right down

Major Everaon, timing the late war, Lad

and he says: it was just after the dawu of
day when I strolled out of my quartern ou
the margin of the bay to find relief in ibs -
sea air from the oppreaaiveneas of an unu
sual sultry night. Jt was at once evident
from the peculiar atmonphere and death
like, indescribable still new that something
out of the usual routine was near at hand.
Soon t lute- was heard a rumbling, roaring '
and hissing sound. Looking 'across the
Potomac about eight miiea distant, the
cause, in u alarming uiape, was uncover
ed in a huge wateirout attached to a Largs
angry cyclone, in form like the placing of
the nozzles of two funnels together. It
was making its way from the Virgin a
shore diagonally toward the prison ir.cio

turreted monitor Koauke, one of the lar

name razeed and carrying an armarnsat
of one fifteen-inch and two eleven Inch
guns. On came the monster of wind and
water, presenting an appearance never to
be forgotten, the hideous teething increas

Roanoke appeared to r inevitable; her
fate hung, aa it were, in the balance, when
a curl of smoke was &eeu to puff out frau

inch ahell shattered the waterspout, and
the hngc tornado, like a liberated balloon,
shot upward with lightning rapidity high
in the heaven. Then with equal velocity
it plunged downward, striking and wreck

river, and carrying everything beionr it at
the dock as if it were j much chait in a
