Little Rag Bag's Revenge.
"How are you, little Rag Ba?," said
one of a group of well dressed boys, to a
timid child, with patched clothes, coming
towards the school house.
The child walked on without lifting his
eves. -
"I say how are you, Rag Bag," ex-
claimed Albert Hale again, as he went
towards the bov and caught hold of his
shoulders. Whvdon't vou answer me.i
n i
bov?. You nrp. lonkinor nuite snruce this
morninrr for vou, not becoming to your ti-
tie ; there," he continued, as he thrust his
finger into a thin snot in the child's trow-
sers and tore it to his feet "you look bet-
ter now."
The air rnnrr with the shrmts of the
boys as the boy turned sobbing towards
his home with his bare leg exposed to the
weather.
"I guess I have taught the wash wo-
man a lesson to keeD her rag-bag out of
Brockdale Academy," said Albert, as he
returned to his companions. "Didn't he
cut a comical figure, though, as he. went
blubbering home ?"
"Three cheers for Rag Bag!" shouted
another boy.
An instant after and the air was filled
with their cheers. The sounds in the dis-
tance went like a dagger to the child's
heart.
"I shan't go to school anv more, mo-
ther, sobbed Walter Brooks, as he en-
tered his mother's humble kitchen.' "See
what Albert Hale did. iust because the
teacher said I was reuinrr ahead of - him

Walter, it is wrong to cultivate a

&" J
ow.
"Oh, if
I was a man now ! But, mo
ther, I am going lo start for Boston to
morrow, and go to work ; I've been think
ing that I'm big enough to take care of
myself.
A delicate boy of twelve, like your
self, Walter, cannot work ; nobody will
employ you.
Yes they will, for I'll keep going un-
til I find sumebody who wants a boy. I'm
going first, to see Mr. Brown, the man
who visited our school and praised me so,
and I'm going to tell him just how the
scholars treated me, and perhaps he will
hire me to take care of his office. Then
mother I'll read his.books, and be a law
yer, and get rich, and build a big house
for you. Only think of it mother !" And
the child s eyes sparkled with delight at
the idea. .
The mother replied to her child's en
thusiasm by a sad smile.

Une morning tne papers announceu mat
Albert Hale & Co., one of the largest
firms of New York City, had suspended
payment.
The day following, a young gentleman,
a stranger, entered the store, and inquir
ed into their liabilities, the atneunt of the
stock they had on hand, &c. stating that
he had some money ne woum mvvsi uu
good security, if he could accommodate
them by doing it.
Mr. Hale, the head partner ot the
firm, opened his eyes in astonishment.
"Why, sir," he replied, "we have for
weeks tried to raise money on our stock,
by offering thousands of dollars of bonds;
but money can t be had in mis city, just
now at any price, it you couiu relieve
us of our present embarrassments, we
could return your money in a few weeks
with heavy per centage.
"I am happy to say," replied the stran-
ger, "that I have it in my power to help
you. and wiiicneeriuiiy qoso.
Mr. iiaie.wnn tears inniseyes,grasp-
ed his hand and asked
"To whom am I indebted for this kind
ness?'
"Don't;; you know me?" asked the
stranger, as he fixed his eyes upon him.
"If we have ever met before, your fea
tures have passed from me.

good, but soft music seems to float on the
air, and the burden of the song is, "Lo ! er
neacfi is here." Could we look into thou-
sands of families to-day, where discontent
sits fifhtinrr sullenly with life, we should
find thp rhipf rntise of unhanniness. want
of religion in women. And in a felon's
cell in places of crime, misery, desti-
tution, ignorance we should behold in
all its horrible deformity, the fruits of ir-
relifnon in woman. Uh religion! be-
nignant majesty! high on the throne thou
sittest, glorious and exalted. Not above
the clouds, for earth clouds never come
beneath the clouds, for above thee is hea-
ven, opening through a broad vista -of ex-
ceedinsr beautv. its gate is the splendor
of iasner and precious stones, white with
a dewy light it neither flashes nor blazes,
but steady proceedeth from the throne of
God. Its towers bathed in' refulgent glo-

How to Preserve a W'onsan.
There is nothing in the world we thinlc

up our tired nag to see her pass, and ad

however, the steamer sinks into insignif-
icance, or some Other verv dtlCD water,

bors, go shopping, call upon tho poor, and
walk for the good of it, for the fun of it.
Keep away from the stove or register.
Air that is dry or burnt, more or less
charged with gasses evolved by the fuel
is poison. Go up stairs and make the bed
with mittens on. Uy around the house
like mad and ventilate the rooms. Don't
pent up in a single room with double
windows. Fruit will not retain its full
form and flavor in air-tight cans ; neither
will women. They n?ed air. If the
shiver comes on during these opera
tions, go directly and put on something
more about the chest.
Again, do not live in damp rooms.
Lijjht fades the carpet, but it fades not
the flower. No living animal or vejjeta
ble can enjoy health in darkness. Light
is also as necessary as air, and a brown
tan is far preferable even a3 a matter of

"01c Tirglnny Never Tire."
The Wheeling Intelligencer says:
We saw yesterday, going up towards the
upper ferry, a team of four animals a
horse, aponv, a mule and a bull. The
horse had the heaves, the pony was blind
the mule was lame, and the bull had no
provisions for fly time. In the wagon,
which was an ordinary one, there iat a
white man, a crippled nigger, and a tame
skunk, fraily bound with a withe of straw.
The while man held the lines, the team
held its own: and the nigger held the
skunk, and they all moved forward. To
mike this worthy cf its place, it is essen
tial to say that it is true.
There are some recollections of such
