Mow Beautiful. low tiful 1 How beautiful this world of ours. Its 'Autumn hues, and Summer flowers, Its waving fields of ripened grain. Its twilight shade, on hill and plain ; Beautiful, its sparkling floods, - And its. leafy, solemn woods, And its morn, when o'er the brake, AH its songsters 'first awake. How beautiful the starry night, "When it's meek and mellowed light, Stealing through the trees is seen, . On the jocund village een. Beautiful, the dreams of sleep, When the spirit, wrapt and deep, Wanders 'neath Lethean spell, JTo a land where Angels dwell. ; And oh ! how beautiful to see Love's unchang'd fidelity, Hearts that beat throush good and ill, True, arid fond, and faithful still ; Beautiful, when years have sped, . O'er peasants honored head, - - Is the watchful care we bless In a child's devotedness. ' - ,i- " How beautiful that quenchless power, I7nsubduedin darkest hour, Unseduced when fortune's beam ' Gayly gilds life's varying stream; Virtue thine this glorious sway, Thou the gem of fairest ray, ( Thou the fairest flower we call, - , Crown of all most beautiful. Select " Shine Your Boots; Sir?': "' The voice was childish and sweet-toned, bnt a little unstead-. The man glanced down from under the brim of an old felt . hat that had once been white, and a pair of soft, large eyes looked up into his. "Shine your boots, sir?" The man shook his head as he uttered a . brief V-No," and passed on. But the tender face and soft asking eyes haunted him. After walking on for half a block, trying to forget the lace and eyes of the boyr he stopped, turned round, and went back, he hardly knew why. "Shine your boots, sir?" It was the same innocent voice, but a little firmer In tone. ' He looked. down at the bare feet and worn old cloths, and a feeling of pit3T touched his heart. "Not this morning, my lad," answered the man, but here's tho price of a shine," and he reached him ten cents. "Haven't come to that yet." And the lad drew himself up a little proudly. . "I'm not a beggar, but a boot black. Just let mo nhine them, sir. ; Won't keep yoa a minute." There was no resisting this appeaL So the man placed his foot on the boy's rest, c and in a little while the surface was liko polished ebony. : "Thank you," said the little fellow, as on finishing the second boot he received his fee. . : 'The mar. walked away, holding, in his "mind very distinctly an image of tho boy that did not fade. ! -On the next morning, while on his way to business, he was greeted by the same lad wth - "Sfe'ine your boots, 6ir?" : And in a voice steadier than the dav before, lhe little boot black was gaining confidence in his new callincr - confidence iu his new calling. The man 6toppedj placed his boot on fbe boot-rest, and tho boy set his brushes to work in the liveliest way. "Where do you live my little man?" , The boy brashed ton, seeming not to have heard. As he finished one boot, and was about commencing the other, the man said, changing the form of his question, "Where is your home ?" v "Haven't got any." As the boy made this answer, he looked up into tho man's face for an instant, and then let his eyes fall upon; his work. . kNo hbmcl"j : . " "No, sir." - ; ; v, "Whe -e do yoa sleep?' "Most anj where that I can creep in," replied the boy, as he brushed away with all his rqight. Then, as ho roso up, ho eaid, with a business air. "That's a good shine, 6irl" ,-v "first-rate'- answered the man, whose interest in the boy was increasing. "Can't be beat. . And now what's tho charge?" . "Ten cents, sir.' 5 " ?

A few hours later in tho dav mid-anmmw and tus atr not and sultry as this man was passing the corner of a street where an apple-woman, had her stand, ho witnessed a scene that we will describe. j j The apple-woman had fallen asleep. Two boys a newsboy and tho little boot black just mentioned were at the stand. The newsboy, who was larger and stouter than the boot-black, seeing a good chance to get. apples without paying for them; was just seizing two or three of the larg est, when tho little boot-black pushed bravely in, and the man heard him say : I "That's stealing, and it can't bo doncl'J Tho newsboy grew red with anger as he turned fiercely upon tho little fellow; raising his fist to strike him ; but his welli aimed blow did not reach tho soft, yet bravely indignant face, for an arm stronr- er than his caught the descending fist and held it for an instant with a firm gripJ ' in ine next moment, tne scarea ncwtxy had broken away,, and was scampering down the street as fast as his legs could tunj uiui. i "sot far away."
