With some, of course, it’s different— I’ve seed young men that krowed H all, An’ didn't like the way things went On this terrestrial hall; But, all the same, the rain some way Rained just as hard on picnic day; Or when they really wanted it, It m»ybe would’t rain a bit!

Eed By the Same Hand. * Divine follows mercy human souls and shapes their history. Sometimes it seems as if it separated friends who ure no benefit to each other, for their own good, to bring 8 them together 6 again 6 purified. A soldier in the Confederate army, J. H. Reed by name, was taken as prison- er in 1862, and lodged in the barracks on Johnson’s Island. As he was of a social nature, he was soon on intimate terms with the other prisoners, but there was one among them for whom he conceived a particular liking. The two became fast friends. Their identity of political sentiments, and the similarity of their tastes, and views of life, made them compani#a^ release’finally When the though order for their came, lere freedom wailwelo6sao indeed, they to After R6pera$E' soldiers^ celebrating often their do, liberty as too they went Though they friends -still in heart memory, seltea.

Both men were under treatment for delirium tremens. They had survived to renew under pitiful circumstances their intimacy again. Again they separated, to pass years ■without mutual note Neither or, sign. of them kept his promise of reformation for neither had pledged himself by a higher strength than their own. Reed pursued a downward course, till one day in Chicago, happening in at one of Mr. Moocly’s meetings, he heard the message of Christ, and was led to love Him in whose love alone he could find help and resolution to over¬ come his insatiable appetite. He then obtained employment as a ly, traveling by salesman. Called occasional¬ his business, to Boston, he always sought Christian the rooms of the Young Men's Association in that city, and attended their meetings. At one of these meetings he saw a familiar face, and at the close greeted with joy his old friend. “Are you a Christian?” was the first question. ‘‘Yes; a Christian six months old.” “And I, two years ago, accepted Christ as my Master,” and as the two men embraced each other, Mr. Reed tola .to the surprised bystanders the story of himgelf and his friend—now house: bookkeeper in a St. Louis wholesale “When we first saw each other,” said he, “we were in prison together; then, after ten years apart, we were in deli¬ rium tremens together; and after nine years’ separation again, now we are bound together by a new tie, that I hope no that temptations find of earth can sunder, and will its blessed fruition where temptation and sin shall have passed away forever."

Robert Col- a hotel one very cold day when a little boy, with a poor, thin, blue face, his feet bare and red with the cold, with nothmg to cover him but a bundle of rags, came and said,— •Tlease, sir, buy some matches.” “No, I don't want any,” said the gentleman. “But they’re ^ only a penny a box,” _ the little fellow pleaded. “l ee, but you see I don’t , want a box.” “Then I’ll gi'e ye two boxes for a penny,” the boy said at last. “And so, to Jib; get rid of him,” the gen- Hainan who ft. .tony "I d ’ S 7 I tt b to morrow’ “orio bny them the night; th, boy plea ed again, 111 iin and get ye the change, for I m very hungry. “Sol gave him the shilling, and he started away. I waited for him, but no boy came. Then I thought I had lost my shilling; but still there was that m the boy’s face I trusted, and I did not like to think badly of him. “Well, late in the evening a servant came and said that a little boy wanted to see me. When he was brought in, I found it was a smaller brother of the boy who got my ragged shilling, and but, if possible, still more poor and thin. “lie stood a moment diving into his rags, as if he were seeking something, a nd then said,— “ ‘Are you the gentleman that bought the matches frae Sandie ?’ “‘Yes!’ “‘Weel then, here’s fourpence cot o’ yer shillin’.

But sometimes tbe hard necessities of pov- erty railroad compel it. The following scene at a station must have affected the few who noticed it even more than the reading of it affects us: “De Luke Sho’-train am de one we is lookin’ fur, boss, kase I’ze gwine to send de ole woman to Toledo.

An incident occurred in a school Roxbury during Prentice, the mastership 0 f Dr Nathaniel which, exhibited the noble side ot boy-nature. It been often told, but will bear repeat- ing. Dr. Prentice threatened to punish with six blows Of . a heavy ferule the first boy detected in whispering, and appointed detectives. Shortly after, one of them houted, “Master JohnZig- let is whispering.” John was called up, and asked if it was a fact. John by the way, was a favorite both with his teacher And his school-mates. “Yes.” answered John. I was not aware what I was about. I Was intent on working boy out amim, and requested the who sat next to'-band me a rithmetic that contained the rule which I wished to see ” The doctor regretted his hasty threat, but told John that he could not suffer him to whisper, or escape the punish- ment; and continued, “I wish I could avoid it, but cannot without a forfeit- ure of mv word. I will,” he continued, “leave it to any three scholars you may choose, to say whether or not I omit the punishment " John said he would agree to that, aid immediately called out three boys. The doctor told them to return a ver- diet, which they soon did, after consul- tation, a= follows • “Tbe master’s word must be kept in- lolate . ^ ed ' blows .^eive the threat- ® f x - but xt mU8t . and the un 1 ® r P roxiea > we arbi- trators , wlU tbe PH recu J ^ 1D g eac p two of the blows, obn - who b&d tbe 1 < f 8 e l'P e Y?P 0 tte doctor, and with • .
