A NOBLE DEED.
TIIK INVALID AN l THK VIOLINIST.
An old and iniinn tuildirr mis playing
In." viiihn nn wiiuij? on tlui I rati', in
Viennii. His faithful dni; was liolding
his hat, in which passi M Ly drnppi'd
fi'W uoi'DiTri as (hoy calm! aluiijr. How
ever, 011 ihc cwniiij; in ipution, uohody
atiijipcd to put a.uiall win iuto the poor
old fi'llow'o hat. Every one wmit straight
on, and tin: piity of Ihu crowd added t j
the sorrow in the old soldier's heart, and
showed itself in his withered counten
ance. However, all at once. :t well dressed
enih man caiije up to where ho stood,
listened to his. plajing for a few minutes,
and pazed compassionately upon him.
Ere lung, the old fiddler's weary hand
had 00 loiirer strength to grasp his Low.
His limLs refused to carry him farther
He seated himself on a stone, rested his
head ou his hands, and organ silently to
weep, At that in.-tant the gentleman
approached, otfired the old man a piece
of gold, and said : "Lend lu'j your violin
a little while."
Then, haung carefully tuned it, he
said :
'You take the money, and I'll play."
He did play! All the iiasscr.s-Ly
stopped to liven aud struck with the dis
tinguished air of the musician, aud cap
tivated Ly his marvelous genius. Every
moment the circle hecauue larger aud
larger. Xot copper alone, hut silver,
and even gold was dropped into the poor
mail s hat the dog began to growl, lor
it whs hecomiug too heavy for him to
held. At an invitatiou from the au
dience, ihe invalid cm' tied its contents
into his sack, and they liilcd it again.
After a national melody, iu which
every one present joint d, with uncovered
heads, the violinist placed the instru
ment upon the poor man's knees, aud,
without waiting to he thanked, disap
peared ''Who is it ? ' was asked on all sides.
"ItisArmand Boucher, tho famous
violin player," replied some one in the
erowd. ' He has heen turning his art to
aeeiiunt in the sen ice of chaiily. Let
us follow his cxani le."
And the speaker also sent rouud his
hat, aud made a new collection, and gave
the proceeds to the invalid, crying, ' Long
live Boucher!"
Deeply ulTecli'il, the invalid lifti d up
his hands and eyes toward Heaven, and
invoked t.iod's hlei-sing on his henefae
tor. Tint cveniiig there were two happy
men in Vienna, the invalid, placed for a
long time ahove the reach of want, and
the generous artist, whu felt iu his heart
the joy which always repays the hestowal
of charity.
WONDERFUL MEMORY.
Senator Vaux has a very good mcairry
and seldom fails to tecognije a person 1 c
has once met a I observed, hut one ol
his cou.-titueuts got away with him n
short time ago. The senator was st ink
ing with several of his friends in the
rotunda at the Capitol, when a stranger
approached and offered his hand, saying
"Why, senator, how are you?" The hand
was talw. lid gwpcA warmly. "Quite
wc'l sir; how have you been?"
"Oh, I've been fiue, never in better
health, but I don't believe you remember
me."
"Oh, yes I do, peifectly Your face
is quite familiar. It's only your name
that ra-apes me."
"My name is John Buekwilh-n. '
"Sure rn-'iigh, J din Buckwillen. Ol
course and he shu k the man's hand a
little more vigorously. I don't see how I
forgot it. Let me think where was it I
saw you last?"
"Well, senator, the fact is, you never
did see ne but once."
"Only onci you must be mistaken."
"Oh, no, I'm not. It was at the old
church on Deer creek. You remember
when you spoke thero to that awful Lig
crowd?"
"Yes, perfectly. So it was."
"I'm the man who was siltio' up on
the ladder in the Lack of the church I
was in my shirt sleeves and did a good
deal of the shouting. That was as close as
I ever got to you." Washington CVi'iVr.

B JOHN STERNE BJORNSON
Norway has always heen the home of
poetry. Six hundred years ago those
splendid pouuis "The Sagas, were written
in Norway and Iceland. To day Nor
way has produced oue of the greatest
living poets aud dramatic authors.
Bjornsljern Bjornson was Lorn in Nor
way in 1S:52, he was educated at the latin
college from where he went to the Uuni
versify in Christiana, 1851, lut in the
next ye ir he hmke off his I'nivir.-hy
studies to commence a purely literary
life, lie first became known to fame
through some articles and stories he con
trihutcd to newspapers and journals.
lie produced numerous tragedies and
other pieces for Ihe stage, his most famous
being "The Newly Married," "A Failure"
and "The (ilove." Bjornson resembles
Alexander Dumas in as far as his pieces
als.) treat of social questions of interest.
But he is much more moral than the
French writer. Ho hates everything
false aud unnatural. He was something
of a politician being an extreme radical.
As a dramatic author Bjornson staudn
perhaps without rival, but as a poliiiciin
he has been a signal failure. Ho visited
America in H81 and gave a series ol
brilliant lectures among his countrymen
settled here.
ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.
In a runninu debate in the I'nited
States Senate last Saturday between Sena
tors Hoar and Daniel, Mr. Hoar paid tin
fi.llowing eloquent tribute to the people of
the Southern States:
"I know, too, when I say these things
that I am saying them of my countrymen
I am saying them of men with as gallant
noble, and honorable traits (where this
race prejudice docs not get possession ol
their souls) as ever existed on the face o!
the earth. They have some qnalitie
which I caunot even presume in an equal
degree for tho people among whom I my
self dwell. They have an aptness for
couiiuand which makes the southern gen
tleman wherever he goes not a peer only
but a prince. Thev have a love of home
I he best of them aud the most of them
inherited from the great race from which
they come the tense of duty and the
tustiuet ol honor as uo other people i n
the face of the earth. They are lovers
of huuie. They have not the mean trait
that grow up souiewherj in places where
inoney-iuakiug is the chief cud of lift
They have, above all and giving value to
all, ill it supreme and superb c instancy
which, without r.gird to personal am
bil'oa, without g-tiing tired, and without
getling diverted, can pursue a great imhlii
objbi luauu out, year after year, and
generation after generation."
It would be hard for auy 8 mthron to
excel Mr. Hoar in eharaeteriiili in. No
wonder Mr. Daniel responded as follows;
'The Seuator has expressed si many
noble sentiments in hi speech with such
tasteful eloquence aud with whom lam
more nearly idem died that I muld bul
l'orriv,i ti i in ere he got (bioiji for wh,t
he said in theb-giuiiing. ant I could bu
feel I hat iu an) argument I might submit
I was appealing lo a mind which was not
only capable of justice, but which on
wine sides of it would he quick to riBpud
to gcuerosiiy."

"(iive him a cheer." The hearty
words came from the lips of some one in
the crowd gathered round a building en
veloped in flames, and were prompted by
the momentary faltering of a brave fire
man at the final effort that was in eded lo
save a human life. Instantly hals were
waving in the uir. and above the trick

the audience, as the young aspirant for

the Hililst ol Ins well-prepareil oraiioii.
"(iive him a cheer," and as the appre

youth "inhered new counc'o, so that he
succeeded in winning the scholarship,

audience bears up the speakers, who

once said. "A speaker gets from his
hearers iu vapor that which he gives

have got it they return it to him with in
terest. "Give lii in a cheer." Who? Why,
that young Chri-tian who has come out
from the world, and iu the midst of
temptation is Irjing to live a consecrated
life. He needs more than an interest in
your prayers. Give him a warm hand
shake, a word of praise, or a smile of re
cognition when he begins to faint or
falter by the way. Let him know that
you appreciate his efforts, and will Le
disappointed if he fails. If he does a
noble ihing give him a cheer by telling

strength to meet new trials and tempta

a taming he may make, bid Lhn we'

ihat no one feels an interest in his w 1
fare. I have in mind a young girl who wei t
I through life under a cloud. She had
many things to di.-conrage her. She wi s
niisrepr, s uted and lnisiiniler-t -od. No
one sp ke a cheering word lo her, or
offered to lend .1 hand when ti'uMts
thickened about 1 er. People did not
und rslaud her shrinking nature. They
mistook her seeliisiveiiess for her p-iide,
until in a tit of dcsicratioii she took
away the life God had given her. A
little note am nig lnr effects cxplainid
I he seemingly rash act. It ran thus:
"I can endure this strain no h n.'cr. If
I only had help to tarry my burden I
would try to be biave and slain! up under
its might, but in all this wide world I
have not a Irieiid. No one has over
given me a cheering word, or dropped a
tear of pity over my hard fate." Then

"Did you see any Quakers in Philadel
phia? "was asked of a Dctroiter who lately
returned from that cily. "Only one that
I was sure of." "Did he 'thoc' and 'thou'
you?" "He did. He got down off his
hack and said: 'If ihee don't pay me $2

although I knew the regular fare was
