My dear children, the Christmas
holidays arc past, the year of 1875 is
•nded, and we are beginning anoth
er year. Now, the question is, How
we are going to spend the year
1876 f Do we intend to fritter away
time, doing nothing for our
selves or anybody else ; or do we in
tended to make ourselves as useful
as possible, trying to shed beams of
sunshine all around us, trying to
■take others happy and thereby
making ourselves happy I haveo
these suggestions to make.
Ist Let us try to do all the good
we can, by controlling our tempers,
always telling the truth, and denying
ourselves for tho good of others.
2nd. Let us learn all we can, by
studying hard, if we are going to
school, by reading &c., if we are not
going to school, and by observing
what is going on around us.
And then, boys and girls, let us
write about what we are doing or
what we have done, and publish
it in the children’s column of the
Argus, so that others can be benefit
ed by it. P. W.

&&&&FWQ.
BY CHARLES MAKJ3Y,
Chapter I.
The impression came upon me for
the instant that the child must have
had an unhappy home. I was edit
ing a newspaper, aid a man came
to me one day to know if I wanted a
boy to work in the printing office. He
was fourteen years old, but small to
his age, and I agreed to take him at
the usual price paid for such labor as
he was capable of performing.
He came at the appointed time,
and went quietly to work, and being
busy with outside matters, I thought
little about the boy.
It was perhaps a month from the
time he entered my office that the
foreman came to me one day on some
business connected with tho office,
when it occurred to me to ask some
thing relative to the lad.
“Why,” says the foreman, “he is
one of the quietest, smartest little
fellows in the whole country. Always
cheerful, ready and willing to do
anything that comes to“hand. He is
worth his weight in gold. Easily
controlled, quick at understanding
and learning, he is far superior to any
boy I have ever had under me.”
I gent for the boy. He was a full
faced, light-haired boy; with clear
blue eyes, and a quick, firm step. He
came to me, and I made him sit down
beside me. I talked to him long and
earnestly about his future, giving him
the best advice I knew how. When
I had finished, and he had started
away, I ©ailed him back and asked
him,
“Adolpho,” that was his Christian
name, “where does your father live 7”
It was a simple question, but I
could not mistake the pained and
Btartled expression which overspread
his face when I asked it. He hesita
ted, but be soon overcomo that, and
gave me the street and the number.
This is why I say that the impression
came upon mo that he must have an
unhappy home.
I was not in the habit of noticing
children very closely, but there was
Bomething in the manner and appear
ance of Adolpho Merton which made
a deep impression upon mo, and I sat
thinking about for a long time after
he had left my sanctum. I determin
ed to watch him closely and to ac
quaint myself with his family history.
That he did not wish me to know
anything of his family history I
thought that his actions justified me
in believing.
Chapter 11.
During the next month or two there
yras no opportunity presenting itself
to me by which I couid Satisfy my cu
riosity with respect to the family of
little Adolpho. But tho opportunity
did present itself before very long.
I had been on a visit to a friend a
few miles from town, and was retur
ning home late in tho evening, it
was about dusk when I was coming
through an obscuro part of the city
that I remembered that it was the
same that Adolpho told mo was the
place of his father’s residence.
I was passing a low class saloon
when 1 heard loud quarreling within.
Soon after the disputants came out
side, wlicu they' got into a scuffile, in
which one of tho men was severely
wounded, and fell on the pavement
unable to rise. I hastened to his side.
Nobody around knew the man, and
I was casting about in my mind what
to do with him in the absence of the
proper authorities, when little Adol
pho appeared upon the scene, and re
cognizing the man lying upon the
pavement, ran to him and fell upon
his knees beside him. It was his fa
ther. The same man who had hired
Adolpho to me.
The fellow had not Seen me, and
knowing that something must be dono
immediately, ho got two or three of
the men standing by to carry liis
father hame, he ran immediately after
the nearest physician. I followed the
crowd to its destination, and after
handing his wife a small sum of mon
ey and telling her that I would bear
the expenses resulting from the ca
tastrophe, I left and went home.
The next morning Adolpho did not
come to the printing office, and the
foreman, Mr. Banks, came to my
sanctum, and said:
“Young Adolpho has not been to
the office this morning.”
I then told him the circumstance
of the previous evening; but told him
to say nothing for the present, and as
I was afraid that the worthy little
fellow would be very much embar
rassed if he thought that we were
acquainted with his family, and espe
cially with this unpleasant circum
stance.
But on the following day ho made
his appearance, and went to work as
usual, without offering any explana
tion of his absence of the day before
Mr. Banks sent him to me.
“Adolpho, what was the reason
you did not come to the office yester
day?”
“Oh, Mr, Makey;” a tear stood in
each of his clear blue eyes,, 'I am not
afraid to tell you the reason why.
But please, sir, do not press me to
know it. Indeed, sir, I could not
come or I would.”
I knew that he was speaking the
truth, but still I tried to make him
tell me, but in vain. He was very
sorry, I could see; but he was very
finn. I could not move him. I must
own that I could not but respect the
principle that could make him stand
before me so firmly.
I sent him to his work, promising
him to investigate the matter _morc
fully hereafter.

That was a very pathetic story of
a little cold and ragged boy on an
East-river ferry boat tlie other day.
He was in the cabin begging, contra
ry to rule, and a deck band was lift
ing him out by the ear. But a rich
ly dressed and noble hearted lady in*
terfered and reproved the unfeeling
man. He released the boy reluctant
ly, protesting that he had orders to
keep such out of the cabin. Then,
with a heart aglow with generous
feeling, the stately lady gave the lit
tle wanderer a dollar and said she
felt sure that every one in the cabin
would be glad to rebuke the brutality
which they had all witnessed, in the
same way. So the boy passed around
his ragged cap and got it well filled
with the offerings of generous 11a
tures. And the observant reporter
followed the poor boy and the rich.la
dy ashore, and as they turned the
first corner he heard the lady say,
“Well, Dickey, we did pretty good
that trip; now let’s try the other
line.” —Boston Globe.
The art of life is to know how to
enjoy a little, and to endure much.
We may forgive an injury and an
insult; but we cannot endure to be
bored, not even by those we love.
Ink is the black sea on which
thought rides at anchor.
There is a closer connection be
tween good sense and good nature
than is commonly supposed.
