PUSH AND PLUCK. efforts in bis behalf by immediately tumbling himself over the hedge, where he lay concealed. As the thing came near it ran to the side of the road opposite to which Jim had turned his horses, and there fell to pieces, and while one part of it leaned against the fence, the other, in the shape oi a well-looking, blue-flanneied boy, ran toward Jim. “Oh—did I frighten your horses?” he cried, in a tone of frank politeness. “Well, I’m sorry. 1 ought to have stopped sooner, hut where I live the horses are getting used to them and I didn’tthink. Whoa, now—poor fellow,” patting them, and the well-meaning creatures looked ah immediate recognition of the friendly voice and touch. “What have you got there?” asked Jim, looking in great curiosity at the thing leaning against the fence. "‘ A bicycle—havn’t you seen any? I guess there are not very many about yet, but my father’s amacliineman and that’s how I came by the luck of getting one. We’re boarding at Farmer Merrivale’s down there, and I can make the distance out here in loss than no time. ” This was indefinite, but .it was three miles, aud Jim had seen for himself how like a thing of life the wonderful skeleton steed moved. He examined it with thoughtful eyes. “It doesn't have to eat, does it?” “No,” said the boy, laughing, “only alittle oil once in awhile.” But its cost was beyond that of a pony. Jim watched in delight and longing as it, with its owner, were spinning down the road, while Pat crept from his hiding-place with many an ex clamation over the “wan-legged wheel- barry.” From that hour Jim had never given up the idea of possessing a bicycle, ancl in dreams had seen more than one picture of himself flying over the roads carrying on his back a bag of mail-matter and a sachel of school books. “Push—push—push! Yes, it’s got to be push all the time with me if I’m ever going to amount to anything, and I’m bound 1 will!” Jim Brand drew as close as he could to the little end window of the garret in which he slept, trying to catch the. last rays of light on his worn book. “It’s a tussle!” he presently ex claimed, looking off into a dark corner of the room, with a face which showed a mind hard at work over some knotty /roblem. “If I only had some one to show me a bit! The words aro all • straight enough—I’ve got them pat, but where the sense comes in’s more than I can see. ‘The square of the hypothe- nuse of a right angle triangle is equal to the squares of the other two sides.’ To be sure, but how to get at it is what beats me.” Jim closed the book, one he had dip ped into because he had exhausted everything else within his reach. But the expression cf full determination to conquer some day what now baffled him was fixed on his bright, homely face and seemed to extend to every stout limb of his stubby frame. The boy’s sturdy resolve to obtain an education grew and throve under what might be- considered great disadvantages, were it not that it has been abundantly proven by many brilliant examples that to the best order of minds obstacles seem only to furnish stepping-stones to higher suc cess. He lived with his widowed mother in a small country village, and for the last two years had worked for a farmer— hard work, poor pay and a scant taste of schooling in the winter. His aspira tions now were for something better in the way of instruction than tlie country school afforded. Four miles away, in a larger town, was a good teacher, and Jim wanted now to stay <jt home, study harder and recite to this man, but how to accomplish this he could not see, for he must still earn his living and help his mother. A tri-weekly mail was carried through their village, it being off any regular routes. The carrying of this had been offered to Jim and had excit ed him greatly, for the same road would take him to the teacher he was anxious to reach, thus enabling him to kill two birds with one stone. But difficulties were in the way. A scrubby pony had been placed at his disposal for a very low price —his carefully hoarded sav ings would cover it—but its keep was a serious matter. Jim had been cherish- ishino-another project for a year past Last summer lie, in company with an Irish farm-laborer, had been driving an emutv hav-wacon along the road when something appeared in the distance which astonished both. It was surely neither man, horse nor dog. It came toward thorn with marvelous speed, and ..as it drew near developed a human, yet inhuman, aspect which had something frightfully comical about it. The horses grew restless at the. uncanny sight, and ■Bin sprang to their heads, while Pat, 'iiqtly invoking the protection of the > T wgk>A4a.ry arl (i a n untold number of saints, 0 f faith in their “I think I’tfgo down to the State Fa’r next week, mother.” “To the.Sta*e Fair, Jimmy?” she said, in surprise. He did not olten go os a frolic. “Yes, I’mgomgto try if I can’t make a little money there.” “How, my boy?” “I’m told the fair-grounds are more than a mile out of the city, and that there’s always a great demand for teams to carry passengers to and from it. I’ve been talking to Deaeon Granger, and he’s willing to trust iffe with his ..-paLc_of grays, knd I’m < Brow&fibjg nfw sprmg^WagonJand I believe FiRmi make a go.-ts deal over what I shall liaV&Jo pay for iteam and wagon.” A- “ And their keep, ana'* s ?"our own—?” this mother and son were used to very close calculating. “ Yes, I think I can do it.” He was on the alert for passengers early on the first morning of the fair. Exhibitors only were arriving on that day, but he found plenty to do among those who desired the carriage of light articles and fancy wares. On the sec ond day the people came pouring in from all directions, and the accommo dating boy With the well-governed, light- stepping grays was in constant demand. The third day was brilliant in sunshine, and city and fair-grounds and the space intervening seemed alike overflowing with the busy, merry, chattering crowd. About the middle of the forenoon eame a lull in Jim’s work, the arriving stream having about ceased and the re turning one not yet begun. Jim went for a look at the machinery, much of which had arrived sin e he had been around that way before. He gazed for a while awe-struck at the great power eng ne, quietly moving its ponderous arms and wheels in such fearfi ' ful strength for goo 1 or then examining with i: the beautiful, perfect! proved farming implei! attention was drawn to s' moved in and out amof on-lookers with almos^V^^ 111688 and lightness of a sunbeam. It was a graceful, boyish fig-ire mounted on a bicycle which gleamed and shone in polished steel and nickel-plating. And as he came nearer and sprang lightly to the ground, Jim’s face beamed with surprise and pleasure as he perceived that it,was the same boy whom he had seen more than a year before. “Halloo!” he said, as Jim modestly approached to look at the bicycle. “Havn’t I seen, you before somewhere? I have, I know; why yes, don’t you re member the time I frightened your horses?” Jim was charmed by the cordial rec ognition, and the two boys were soon in earnest discussion over the merits of the different machines. Harvey Glenn was able to point out to Jim many ex cellencies he had not before appreci ated, laying his hands familiarly on srune of the swift, moving intricacies with a daring which made Jim tremble; imp essing him deeply', too, by the in formation that his father represented the great machine company which had sent a number of these magnificent things on exhibition. The bicycle, a model in beauty, strength and adapta tion to the use for which it was intend- f wheel, during which he felt as if he or , fo / "’flat was justly his due, ancl would, his fairy steed, or both, had taken : course, liave^been wdlingiy paid for wings, the big wheel’ began to wabble unreasonably and Jim to incline wildly first to one side and then the other. Then the little wheel grew skittish, and as it rose obstreperously behind Jim went down defore, amid shouts of good- humored laughter. But it was hushed all of a sudden, tor there came a loud and terrible sound wh'ch struck fear to every heart —a stunning report, then quick rend ing—tearing—crashing. And as Jim gathered himself up, dazed, deafened and bewildered, cries of alarm and suf fering arose on the one moment of dread silence which had followed the shock. It was some little time before those who gathered frantically' around couuld understand that a steam-boiler had exploded with awful violence, deal ing destruction and death among the assembled multitudes, but it was only a breathing time before a wail of anguish went up from stricken cecs whose own had been smitten down at their very sides. J m was blinded by quick coming tears as he bent over the apparently lifeless form of his just now joyous companion. A dark iine of bfood slow ly trickled from under his hair, and Jim turned half faint as he saw blood gathering under him on the grass. He was about to raise a cry for help when a tall man knelt down by the boy with a white face and trembling hands. Tearing open his coat he applied his ear to his chest. “I am a physician,” said another man, hurrying up, and together- they made a hasty examination of injuries which were found to be serious but not probably fatal. “What shall I do?” said Harvey’s father, looking about him in distressed perplexity'. “I ought to take him to the hotel at once—and then again, I ought to be seeing after more of these poor souls—and the mischief my wares have worked.” ,,If you will trust him with me,” said the physician, “I will go and take care of him. See, there are already -more doctors than uat'ents here.” Harvey opened his eyes. “Yes—I ll go, father. Dont be anx ious—I’ll soon be all right.” Mr. Glenn asked Jim to run for a hack which stood a little distant, from them. But as he pointed to the wounded boy witlva few eager words the driver stood stolidly and sb ok his head. •b»— I can’t j have my carriage otWv .yfeji-1 v, In vt cl I" ..1,.. ! h i A . ;■ a: . can 6 his most valuable services in 'a ‘time of such a need. The loss would throw him back a year, perhaps more, in bis pursuit of learning. But he was made of the stuff which occasionally sends a boy from the prairie or the log cabin to the White House—more of them to high p aces in civil and military life, and, perhaps, better, sends boys all over the length and breadth of the land to fill worthy p aces as exemplars of all that is noble and honorable in American manhood. . Arrived at home he made terms for the complete putting in order of the wagon. This, with his horse hire, used up a Title more than he had made at the fair before the accident occurred. “Halloo, here—Jim? You’re Jim Brand, ain’t you?” r “Yes,” said Jim, thus hailed by a farm-hand who drove up to his moth er’,s cate and spied him at work in the garden. “ Well, here then.” He turned away a, Jim took a bulky letter from his hand, “Any answer?” shouted Jim. “Guess not. Not as I was told of.” Jim carried it in the house and sat by his mother as he opened it. This was nearly a month after his venture at the fair. Several sheets of paper, headed each with the device of a steam-power and business-like lettering, were covered on one side with boyish-looking hand writing. From among these fell a small piece of paper. Jim had never seen many like it, but h’s hand shook as, first looking at it, he passed it to his mother. This was the letter; “Deaf. Old Fellow: Father wanted to write to you just as s-on as lie could think straight about egrt-'-iae. An . > e ■; ed him to wait t ill could do it, so that’s you haven’t heard from us before.

L no i t like jt. at all, but mother says it’s sure to NUMBER 49. Toads ami Frogs, ed, came in for its full share of admir ing attention. “This is an exhibition machine,” plained Harvey. “Most of those made for sale are a little heavier built, for greater strength, and a e not got up quite so finely.” And in the course of chat Jim con fided to Harvey his hopes and inten tions as to himself owning a bicycle some day. And Harvey insisted on bis mounting this one, giving him instruc tions iii the way of managing it; which Jim did, and after a levy turns of the eojmW’t usfe it atHin to-day and afford it.” With a face ablaze with indignation Jim hurried to another driver with much the same result. “I’m here with a party—can’t do any thing else.” Some drivers quietly moved their vehicles to another part of the prounds to avoid being called on to assist m tne removal ot wounded and dead. “I’ve got a light wagon,” said Jim, going back to the doctor, almost choked with anger. “May 1 bring that?” “Yes—quick.” The seats were torn out with little ceremony. Straw was placed in the bed of the wagon, upon which Harvey was tenderly laid. ‘Then the horses were led round to where other sufferers lay and two more were added to the load. Again Jim’s heart grew sick at sight of torn, bleeding bodies and anxious friends trying to improvise comforts and bring some relief, and he turned his half dizzy head the other way as they passed a building in whieh he knew were lying those suddenly called out of the sun shine and the summer air and the busi ness and the pleasure. “ Come back,” whispered Mr. Glenn Jim took his slow way to the town, 'here’s hardly one of these heathen ers will bear a hand.” eame back and carried two more d men, unknown by any one so far as he could learn. Then ,in for others whose mourning friends followed in a carriage. At night, over excited by the sad scenes through which he had given such ready, self-forgetting aid, he went to his bed, feeling as if he never could close his eyes again. But sweet sleep watches in kindliness on the steps of such, and the country boy’s rest was unbroken by dreams of the day’s tragedy. When he awoke _ the sun was beaming as benignly as if it had not last shone on hearts shadowed while time should last on what it had then witnessed. He first went to the hotel#t which he had left Harvey, and was cheered by hearing fair accounts of his condition and that his mother had come to him. Then he turned his attention to his wagon, spattered and dripped with the marks of his fearful loads of the day be fore. It took him hours to wash it, re quiring such an amount of energetic scrubbing that he soon perceived that a thorough repainting would be necessary to put it in condition to return to its owner. It was not fit to offer for pas sengers now. He drove out to the fair grounds, thinking he might see some thing of his seats, and did, indeed, spy what looked like them in a huge pile of ruins from the disaster, but they were quite beyond reach. He caught sight of Harvey’s father, who turned at his ap proach and gave him a warm shake of the hand, but his attention was instant- ex ' ly claimed again by those who passed about him. As Jim turned his horses homeward he was ashamed of himself that he felt much depressed at realizing how utter ly his expedition had been a failure in a money point of view. Ashamed thit his heart, which had so stood still be fore the woe of others, could give!a thought to his own light loss.

Mother says she’ll nev er be satisfied till she sees Jim’s mother to tell her how you stood by us that time. I can’t write any more now. You write to me and I’ll write again. Harvey Glenn.” “Ho! Bother it, mother,” said. Jim with a great assumption of indiff erence, “ they must bo the queerest folks—mak ing such a fuss over what you’ve done when you haven’t done anything at all!’ ’ But “Jim’s mother” was crying as she kissed him and thought of the moth er whose boy might never again ride a Bicycle, and Jim went out into a corner of the garden and looked very hard at nothing for a long time. Less than a year afterward Jim, fly ing swiitly along with a mind intent; upon a knotty Latin construction, wa; scarcely aware of being overtaken and passed by something; which then van into the side of tne road, where a bicy- > cle fell into the grass and its rider sud- I denly confronted him. In his over whelming astonishment Jim entirely lost control of his own vehicle, and went down in the dust with it. Picking himself up, hardly knowing whether h s eyes did not deceive him, his hands were warmly grasped, and two happier boy-faces never, surely, looked into each other. “Harvey!” , “Jim!” Jim stopped to gather his books in the little silence which followed. “Pegging at them yet?” said Harvey. “Yes, pushing away—but it’s slow work.” “Ah, but mother says you’re a chap that’s sure to go sffitmg straight up to the very top notch—I don’t mean, you know, that she says just those words, but”—his face grew grave at the memory of the circumstances under which he had last seen Jim, “she says when folks push with their heads and heartsboth they’re sure to win—and she says you’re that sort.”—Sydney JDavre. in Ohicaao Standard. “ Early in the spring tlie marshes re sound with vocal noises, which many of you have doubtless been told were made by frogs. I tell you, how,ever,” said Prof. Bickmore to his attentive audience of school-teachers at the Museum of Natural History Saturday, “that these sounds most always come from the throats of toads, not frogs.” Only the male toad sings, and, when visitors to the country seat themselves on door steps in the pleasant evenings of May and June to listen to the singing of the frogs in a neighboring mill-pond, they are in reality listening to the singing of male toads. The curious process of natural development in frogs and toads was fully described and illustrated by Prof. Bickmore. Toads lay their eggs on the leaves of trees or plants that grow in the water or by the edge of ponds. When rains come the eggs are washed into the water, and there they undergo successive changes, until from little black balls they take on the form of small animate objects something the shape of a tad pole. The development then rapidly continues until full growth is attained. At first toads and frogs live on animal food, but as they approach their normal condition they" evince a fondness for vegetable food as well. Animal feeders have very simple and straight alimen tary canals, while in vegetable feeders the alimentary canals assume a compli cated form. Not only are the changes in form among frogs and toads very curious, but sometimes they grow smaller after arriving at full growth. Most of the toads have tongues, but not all of them. The tongues are attached to the anterior part of the mouth, and point down the throat. A toad takes its food into the month by a quick mo tion of the tongue, somewhat resembling the snapping of a whip. A frog’s skin, the lecturer explained, is always smooth and soft, while a toad’s skin is covered with disagreeable-looking excresences. These excresences are tilled with an acrid fluid of whitish color, whieh in a measure protects the toads from the storks and other birds and beasts that prey upon the frog's. Snakes are the toads’ wtff at-enemies. A small snake can swallow a very large toad. Prof. Bickmore called attention to a singular kind of toad that was found in the northern part of South America. When the female lays her eggs the male toad, takes them in his hand, one by and places them carefully upon .other’s back. A soft glutinous "on in the fcin causes the egjjrs to id hero gradually they Is'nk intolthe female’sAack and are covered ovef by a thin sk:n. In due time the heails and arms of young toads make theft; way through this thin skin, and complete birth soon follows.

Y. Times. Pass Out at the Bear Door. A conductor of the fast train of the Susquehanna division of the Erie Rail way has his brakeman say, after ^an nouncing the name of each station, “Passengers will pass out the rear door to the station.” Much has been said of the desirableness of uniformity in enter ing and leaving railway car?;, but it is probable that it will never be secured until trainmen adopt the plan of the Erie conductor to whom reference is here made. It was noticeable that almost without exception the request as to exit at the rear door of the car was observed, leaving the front door of each car free for the entrance of passengers at each -station. The plan not only saves time, but it prevents the jostling whieh is so 'disagreeable to everybody.—N. Y.

A correspondent inquires for the modus operandi of blasting stumps with dynamite. Make a hole an inch in di ameter, near the stump, says the South ern CuUivatQrAygfifig at an angle of * :g, so as to reach the stump. This fwith a crowbar there be a large essary to continue body of the tap- a long auger. A ning three or four ounces then inserted to the bot- tom'lSifie hole and a slow match hav ing a peculiar percussion cap on the end is inserted in the cartridge. The hole is then tampered with earth, and when all is ready the outer end of the match is lighted and the operator retires to a safe distance. The explosion usually not only extracts the stump from the ground but tears it into pieces small enough to handle easily. The dynamite costs about forty cents per pound, so that a three or four ounce charge with its fuse would cost about ten cents— making the cost of blowing up a stump about ten cents, beside the labor. A man who has not a piece of property big enough to put a mortgage on is con sidered poor. ia Product of California.

Marshall, in the tail-race of Sutter’s Mill, January _ 19, 1848, to Juno 30, 1’iSl, amGunteu'4<(Y.$l,170 ) - 000,000. Of this sum $9O0,U0(ktio8Msc estimated tc have been extracted from the auriferous placers. The remainder represents the yield of gold-quavtz mines, of which the State contains many'. The yearly product, of gold iu California is from 815,000,000 to $20,- 000,000. From the date of discovery to 1861 inclusive, the gold product of Cal ifornia aggregated $700,000,000, derived chiefly from the moderja river-beds and shallow placers. A lasge proportion of the remaining $200,000,000 has been ob tained m the deep gravel deposits, the hydraulic method. Strange as it may appear, an induslry which has con tributed so largely to the wealth of the world, and has been the means of the settlement and development of Califor nia, has reached a period in its history when it is elaimedvby a large portion of the community to be a greater evil than blessing, and the question of suppress ing the hydraulic method of gold-mill ing has been the subject of earnest dis cussion in and out of the halls of legis lation. The law ha.s been invoked to suppress or control it. Even the State, through its Attorney-General, has com menced a suit to sunpro-s it. The trouble grows out of the immense amount #;jdebris which the hydraulic miners aClff discharging constantly into the " wafer-courses of the State. — The Century. —The Kennebec (Me.)
