A STORY FOR THE BOYS.
“ Forgive R. B.”
"Yon are a mean, contemptible pupp}'!
Just come on now. and I’ll wive you such a
dressing as you'll remember for a month.”
“1 will not fight you,” said Arthur White,
calmly.
Ross Browne grew ver}* angry, and seizing
Arthur by the shoulder, he thrust him up
against the fence. “ How dare such a rag
amuffin as you insult a gentleman's son*” he
asked.
“ I only told the truth when Mr. Richard
asked me. and I never will tell a lie for any
body,” replied Arthur in a firm tone.
“ But if von had kept your scat, you would
not have told a lie.”
“ I should have acted one, and that is just
as bad. When Mr. Richards said : 4 If anj r
borty in this class saw Ross Browne look in
his book for the answer, let him rise,’ I am
sure if I had not risen Mr. Richards would
have supposed I did not see you, and that
would have been false.”
44 Well, if you won’t fight, take that, and
that,” at the same time bestowing heavy
blows upon the |>oor hoy, who did what he
could to ward them off, though he did not
return them.
This seemed to excite Ross even more,
and picking up a stick from the ground he
gave Arthur a cut across the cheek, which
brought the blood streaming down.
The sight of it cooled Ross somewhat, and
turning on his heel he walked away, saying,
44 The next time 3*oll wish to exalt yourself
over the sins of your neighbors, I advise 3*oll
to choose another subject.”
Arthur made no reply, but almost blinded
With pain he walked slowly in the direction
of Lus home. Near his house was a field,
through which ran a stream of water, and
climbing over the fence lie sat down by it, and
bathed his wounded face till somewhat easier.
Then washing from his clothes the blood
stains hp hastened home, knowing how anx
ious his mother would be. “Mrs. Browne
has been kinder to 11s than almost an\ r one
else,” he thought; “we should have been in
a bad way had it not been for the sewing she
has given us. Now, if I tell mother it was
Ross who hurt me, she may feel like com
plaining to Mrs. Browne, and there raav be
trouble about it. It can do no good at an} r
rate, to tell, so I'll keep it to myself.”
To Mrs. White's tender inquiries, Arthur
would tell no names, but said lie had got hurt,
and made as light of it as possible. He as
sured her he had not been fighting, which the
mother at first feared might have been the
case; but she could trust her son, and find- j
ing he was averse to telling, she asked no j
more questions.
But the next morning, Arthur was so stiff
in one of his shoulders, and his head ached
so badly, that he found it impossible to leave
his bed, and consequently remained home
from school. Mrs. White left him, as she
was obliged to return to Mrs. Browne some
sewing she had done. Ross was just going
out of the door when he saw Mrs. White at
the gate. He slipped back into the hall. “ She
lias come to complain : I would like to hear
what stoty the fellow has told and Ross
slipped toward the dining-room door, where
Mrs. White went in to see his mother.
“If I had known ) r ou would have been ob
liged to cany that he aAy bundle. I would
have sent for it.” said Mrs. Browne, kindly.
“ Arthur would have brought it. but he
met with an accident yesterda3\ and is con
fined to his bed to-day.”
There was an ugly twinge at Ross's heart
when he heard this, for now that his anger
had time to cool off, he felt rather ashamed
of his violence. He was quick-tempered, but
not ill-natured. He still listened and heard
Mrs. White say, ‘’Arthur refused to tell me
anything about it, and as he generally has
good reasons for what he does. I did not urge
him to tell. He worries more that he is oblig
ed to lose his school, and that his garden
must go unweeded. Dr. Haskins has prom
ised to take all the vegetables he can raise,
and Arthur has taken a great deal of pride in
working about them, though he had to get up
at four o’clock to do so.
Ross walked slowly off to school. 11 is con
duct now seemed mean and cruel. “ I called
myself a gentleman, but he is the true gen
tleman after all,” and he began to wonder
what he could do to atone to Arthur. On his
way he met Jem, the gardener's son. He stop
ped him.
“ What time do you go to work in the mor
ning ?” he asked.
“ About six o’clock,” aaid Jem.
“ How would you like to get up at four and
do an hour's work for me? “I’ll pay }*ou
what’s right.”
“Just as soon as not,” said Jem.
44 Well, then, as earl3’ as 3*oll can get at it,
go over to the widow White’s and put that
garden in good order; and Jem, if our folks
have anything very” nice or choice in the way
of plants that the}' haven’t got. if there is
ground enough, just 3*oll prepare it, and I will
see you have the plants.”
“There’s that spinach beet that \*our folks
made such account of, and father has some
of the prettiest looking egg plants I ever set
eyes on; I don’t believe they have either of
them.”
“ Very well,” said Ross, “you can tell bet
ter after you have been there. One thing you
must promise, and that is, if you are caught
at it. not to say a word about me ; I don’t
want Arthur to know that I have a hand in
it.”
“ I’ll keep dark,” said Jem.
Mrs. White saw the boy at work one morn
ing, but to her questions he only said, “I
promised not to say a word about it, and the
persons who employ me don't want Arthur
to know anything about it till he gets well.
How is he now ?”
“ His fever has left him, and I think he
will mend now,” said Mrs. White. 4 lt will
be a pleasant surprise to him.”
Under Ross’s directions, Jem had prepar
ed a little bed about a yard long, which Ross
had planted himself. About ten days after
ward, Arthur, who was nearly well again,
walked out to see. as he expected, his neg
lected garden, but found to his great surprise
and pleasure, everything in the very nicest
order, and the vegetables he had planted,
along with many new and choice ones, grow
ing beautifully.
“ What good fairy has worked such won
ders here, mother?” he said to Mrs. White,
who had followed him out to witness his pleas
ure.
“ It is a secret to me as well as .you,” she
said ; “but it proves that my boj T has some
good friends.”
‘‘l do not know who they are,” he said,
half sadly, for one whom he used to think
was a friend he now feared was an enemy.
He walked on until he came to a small bed
Ross had planted, and there he stopped.
What was it he saw? There, in beautiful
green letters, he read the word
FORGIVE
R. B.
Tears of jo3* filled his eves. Ross was re
conciled. No explanation was needed now ;
he well knew to whose good offices he was
indebted for the improvement in his garden.
When Mrs. White went to Mr3. Browne’s
next time she took a little note from Arthur
to Ross, thanking him for his kindness.
“Don’t thank me, Arthur,” wrote Ross in
return. “I acted like a brute, and you know
it. I shall not feel right till 3*oll are back
again in school. You have taught me a les
son I have always been slow* in learning, and,
| that is. though it may be manlike to resent
an injury, it is godlike to forgive.
Your Friend,
“Ross Browne.”

NO MORE SLEEPY FLAGMEN.
A WATCHER ON TnR RAIL THAT WILL NOT BE
DRUNK IN TIME OF PERIL.
Messrs. David Rousseau and Win. C.
Smith have invented safety signals that
neither sleep, nor get drunk, nor be subject
to the ungearing to which complicated
mechanisms are liable, and the invention has
been put in use in the Grand Central depot.
It was inspected by a number of railroad
men, yesterday.
Passengers from the Grand Central depot
may have noticed a little r >om, glass-walled
and like an oriel window, high up on the
inside of the wall of the Forty-fifth street
side of the depot. That is the e3 r rie from
which the official styled the dispatcher starts
the outgoing and signals the incoming trains,
and keeps the tracks clear for them almost
beyond the possibility of accident. His
tools are indicators that mark the progress
of trains by electric circuit. He has hang
ing on the wall, under his e}*e, an indicator,
consisting of a magnet and two gongs.
When one gong rings, he knows that a train
is below Fifty-ninth street, coming in, and
that it will be unsafe to start another train
until the first has cleared the danger-point.
His other mechanical device is a telegraphic
key-board, containing twenty ke\*s, establish
ing an electric circuit communicating safety
or danger with both the officers of the depot
and the engineers of the trains.
A Hudson River train is to start within
twenty minutes. The dispatcher touches a
key that bids the doorman to throw open the
depot entrance doors for passengers. At five
minutes before the starting time another key
is touched, and that signals baggagemasters
to cease checking, and is repeated in the
waiting room in order that passengers may
be hastened. If his indicator shows that the
tracks are clear the starting order is given
on time, and a minute later the train moves
out. . ;
Suppose that just after the train has gone
the dispatcher’s gong indicates that an in
coming train has reached Sixty-fbtrrth street.
He touches a key connecting with the signal
boxes beyond the “cross over,” a red signal
is flashed in the face of the engineer of the
incoming train, and he slacks up and gives
the other train the right of way.
The train itself is the flagman. Within a
few rods of each signal box under the rail is
a circuit breaker, consisting of the poles of
an electric wire in a vulcanized rubber
casing, which keeps them apart when no
train is passing, but is squeezed in by the
weight of the cars, bringing the poles in con
tact. This communicates with the signal
box be}*ond the cross-over, loosening a
spring that causes a round disk, painted red.
to make half a revolution. The engineer
speeds his locomotive forward when he sees
the white signal, which is merely the disk
facing him edgewise, but comes to a stand
still when it turns a red face toward him.
The same contact performs two other func
tions, establishing communication with the
signal boxes on the other side of the cross
over, displaying the danger side, and strikes
the dispatcher's gong. Thus, both the dis
patcher and the engineer of endangered
trains arc duly informed. Besides these,
is a switchman at the cross-over, with ever}'
appliance for signalling trains and regulating
switches.
The next point on the road where the signals
perform an imprtant part, is at the junction
of the Hudson River and Harlem roads in
Mott Haven. An in-bound train on the
former strikes a track signal a mile from the
junction, telegraphing its approach to the
operator in a signal cabin. He touches a
key that sets the danger signals for a mile
up the Harlem road. The train passes the
point of danger, and then rnns over another
track signal that resets the “all right” signal
along the main line.
One great merit claimed for the new in
vention is that it always gives a danger sig
nal before it gives one of safety, and that it
is impossible to make a safety signal unless
the track is clear. Every train protects it
self for a mile in front and in rear. —New
York Sun.
Reduction of the Counties.
The Columbus Enquirer discusses this
question with a view of materially reducing
the burden of taxation, which is now a burden
indeed. It favors the reduction of county
officers by making one man do the work of
tax receiver and tax collector, and one the
work of the treasurer and ordinary. But the
Enquirer goes father than this, and urges a
larger retrenchment by a reorganization of the
counties, so as to do away with the small ones
that cannot well support a county govern
ment. We give its views on this point in
full:
We have in Georgia quite a number of
counties with populations less than six thou
sand each, which haye to support their pres
ent costty county governments. Some of them
actually have less than three thousand peo
ple, and contain less than five hundred voters
each. This is not only useless—it is ridicu
lous. No other old state of the Union has
counties so small. The evil rose mainly from
the mania for office, and from the ambition of
villages to become connty seats. In more
prosperous times the cost of such little cor
porations could be better supported by their
sparse populations. But we are now making
in Georgia a hard struggle with
and every measure of economy and retrench
ment is a measure of importance with us. A
reorganization of counties so as to abolish the
administrations and county seats of fifty of
those now existing would not make the lim
its ot the remainder too large for the conve
nience of the people, and it would effect a sav
ing of expense in the way of taxation avera
ging not less than five thousend dollars to
the county, or $250,000 for the fifty counties
wiped out. This would be a measure of re.
trenchment of some consequence, and would
no doubt conduce also to a better adminis
tration of county affairs. It would require
an amendment of the constitution to do this.
But the proposition could be passed by the
legislature and submitted to the popular vote,
and we doubt not that it would be ratified by
a large majority. The evil is one that was
not incurred at one time, and which would
probably have been checked in its inception
if legislators could have foreseen the extent
to which it would be carried, But the giving
way to demands for the creation of one use
less county furnished a precedent and pretext
for the creation of another and another, until
we can now count them by scores. We be
lieve that on a simple proposition to author
ize the legislature to so reorganize the coun
ties as to reduce the whole to one
hundred, the people would vote “aye” by a
large majority ; and by this measure so great
a reduction of taxation would be effected as
to afford very material relief to the people in
a time like the present.

The Model Church.
Well, wife, I found the model church. I wor
shipped there to-day !
it made me think of good old times, before my
hair was gray;
The meetin’ house was iixed up more than they
were years ago.
But then I felt when 1 went in, it wasn t built for
show. 1 ; . • ’ !/
The sexton didn’t seat me away back by the door.
He knew that I was old and deaf, as well as old
and poor;
He must have been a Christian, because he led me
through : ( l ; '■
The long aisles of that crowded church, to find a
place and pew.
I wish you’d heard the singin’; it had the old
time ring ;
The preacher said, with a trumpet voice, “ let all
the people sing!”
The tune was Coronation, and the music upward
rolled, .
Till I thought I heard the angels striking all their
harps of gold.
My deafness seemed to melt away; my spirit
caught the fire;
I joined my feeble trembling voice with that me
lodious choir,
And sang as in ray youthful days, “ Let angels
prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord
of all;
I tell you wife, it did me good to sing that hymn
once more;
I felt like some wrecked mariner, who gets a
glimpse of shore;
I almost wanted to lay down this weather-beaten
form,
And anchor in the blessed port, forever from the
storm.
The preachin’? Well, I can’t just tell all that
the preacher said;
I know it wasn’t written ; I know it wasn’t read ;
He hadn’t time to read it, for the lighten’ of his
eye
Went tiashin’ long from pew to pew, nor passed
a sinner by.
The sermon wasn’t flowery ; ’twas simply gospel
truth ;
It fitted poor old men like mo; it fitted hopeful
youth;
’Twas full of consolation, for weary hearts that
bleed;
’Twas full of invitations to Christ, and not to
creed.
The preacher made sin hideous in Gentiles and in
Jews;
He shot the golden sentences down the finest
pews ;
And—though I can’t see very well—l saw the
falling tear
That told me hell was someways off, and heaven
very near.
How swift the golden moments fled, within that
holy place;
How brightly beamed the light of Heaven from
cv’ry happy face ;
Again I longed for that sweet time, when friend
shall meet with friend,
“ When congregations ne’er break up, and Sab
bath has no end.”
v |**i • 1 * Ca ill! til * 4
1 hope to meet that minister—that congregation
too—
In that dear home beyond the stars that shine
from heaven’s blue;
I doubt not I’ll remember, beyond life’s evening
gray.
The happy hour of worship in that model church
to-day. t ‘ ( i

Dear wife, the light will soon be fought, the victo

The shinin’ goal is just ahead; the race is neany

To shout our safe arrival whore the weary weep
no more.
Prayer.
The Methodist thus discourses on the es
sentiality of “ prayer in the pews
The hour of prayer ought to have an ele
ment of solemnity. It is not possible to draw
consciously near to our Master without sober
ness of spirit. It is true that this tone of
mind may be imitated by a formal and habit
ual manner, by a species of studied stupidity,
which we believe no one has ever succeeded
in describing, but which is often found in
Christian assemblies. We are not suggesting
that we should merely seem to be serious
minded in church. Even that is better than
levity ; but the real seriousness of spirit is of
vastly more importance. It is through it that
we shall reach the values of worship, and
without it we shall be somewhat worse for a
pretense of worship.
The responsibility for failure to attain a
serious temper in our worship must rest upon
each worshipper. His listlessness and heart
wandering in the place of prayer are his own.
His neighbors are decorous, at least; no rude
ness or levity is presented to him unless he
happens to have a clown for a pastor. But
how often does the worshipper leave his mind
to drift at will, or wait to be moved by oth
ers towards heavenly thoughts and spiritual
desires ?
The first duty of the worshipper is personal
prayer. It is not necessar}' that he should
kneel to pray; even the bowed head mav be
a poor substitute for the bowed and waiting
heart. All forms fail; nothing but the per
sonal outreaching of the mind and heart after
God will meet the deep want.
If it be a personal matter, how can it be
reached unless each of us attends to his own
work ? How can you hope for the supreme
satisfaction of worship if you do not your
self, for yourself, seek the God of all grace?
This is tl>9 great failure, we fear, of public
worship; it is not intoned and sanctified by
private worship. There is prayer enough in
the pulpit, but too little prayer in the pews.
Each seat should be a mercy-seat, a holy
place, in the most spiritual sense. The wor
ship is a perfect success only when every
worshipper comes believing to God in Christ.
Don't regard it u a Cntdi-penny.
Bradfield's Female Regulator,— We have
often read in the newspapers of the grand success
of medical compounds put up at the North and
elsewhere. Many of those medicines have had
their day, and we hear no more of them. Their
proprietors have made fortunes, not so much from
the curative powers and virtues of their mixtures,
as from the notoriety given them by advertising.,
by which people were made to believe all the good
that was said of them. A preparation is now be
fore the public which is becoming very popular,
and is known as Bradfield's Female Regulator, put
up by L. 11. Bradfield. of Atlanta. Ga., at $1.50
per bottle. Such is its curative virtues, that it
has gained wide-spread popularity all over the
country where it has been made known, and it is
being introduced everywhere. ,We are informed
that immense quantities of this medicine are be
ing sold in all sections of the South and South
west, especially in the city of New Orleans and in
Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and ;who would
not engage in the manufacture and sale of a hum
bug.—La Grange Reporter.
Two Mites before Breakfast.
In a neighboring city in Georgia, there is a mar
ried woman, who. after her third confinement, had
ulceration, with all its repulsive symptoms. She
tried in vain all the nostrums ; her husband car
ried her to all the famous mineral springs, went
with her to New York, Philadelphia, and other
places, to consult eminent obstetricians, to no pur
pose. After the use of the fifth bottle of Regula
tor, she has been fully restored to her former
health and happiness, and is now the joy of the
household—is able to Walk two miles before
breakfast. Novl3
