He was an odd-looking figure as
he came merrily whistling down
the street the morning after the big j
snow. His nose was red and his
hands were bare, his feet were in
shoes several times too large, and
his hat was held in place by a piece
of paper on the inside; but he piped
away like a steam engine, and car
ried the big snow-shovel much as
a soldier carried his rifle,
"How much? from an imposing
looking man, who was asked if he
wanted his walks cleaned.
"Ten cents."
"A nickle's enough."
"It would be if I couldn't do no
belter; but I've got to do the best I
can, and business is rushing. Good
morning!" And the merry whis
tle rilled the air as the boy started
away.
'Go ahead and clean 'em!"
called the man, whose admiration
and better nature had been
aroused.
'Just see the little rascal make
Ihe snow fly!" he said laughingly
to his wile, who stood at the win
dow with him. "Why, he's a
regular snowplow, and he does it
well, too."
"What a liitle mite! And how
comical. I wonder if he'sh nngry?'
I he wile called to the latl as
soon as he had linished, bin he
would not take time for more than
a cup of collee.
"Too busy," he said.
"What are you going to doiwiih
the money ?" asked the man as he
insisted on settling at twenty-rive
cents, instead of ten cents the boy
asked for,
"I'm going to get mother a coat.
She's wearing one you can see
through it ain't right."
On he went, with glowing cheeks
and his cheery whistle. Kut they
bad h's name and address. It was
the wile who look.the coal to the
mother, and it was the husband
who installed the sturdy shoveler
as oltice boy, in a bright new uni
form, and with permission to whis
tle when he feels like it.

FOR FLETCHER'S.

There is a little town in Virginia !
which is now world famous for one j
of the most beautiful caverns in be j
i i i i r fit.
iimiiu on mis pi.inci. i.ungeom-!
ders and spacious chambers are !
hung with stalactites and studded
wiih stalagmites, glistening when
the light falls upon ihem, till the
observer is fain to believe himself
in a palace of gems. Massive col
umns rise from floor to ceiling and
cascades of gleaming while falls in
stony cataracts over the rocks.
The discovery of the Luray Cav
erns came about thus : A visitor
to the town judged from external
indications that there must be a
cave somewhere in the vicinity.
He searched for many days, and
at length discovered in the hillside
an opening from which air was es
caping. Atier clearing away the
rubbish which chocked this apert
ure, he was lowered by means of a
rope, and passing through anoth
er opening so small that at first it
almost escaped his attention, he
found himself in the majestic space
which has since been christened
Lntrance Hall So overwhelmed
was he by ihe beauty he had dis
covered that he stood speechless
and motionless, till his companion
became alarmed and followed
liiin.
There is a good deal of hidden
beauty in this world, and it pays to
dig for it. The1 e are people shy
and constrained in supeilicial in
tercourse, who are cordial and
kindly when you come to know
litem. You have acquaintances
without any doubt, who are gifted
in one way or another, but their
lack of self-confidence keeps them
from exercising their talent, and
you, as wen as outers, never sus
pect its existence. There is often
a vain of poetry in the matter-of-fact
old fanner, and almost roman
tic chivahy in the ragged newsboy,
a saving tenderness of heart in the
one whom the world counts be
yond the pale. The superficial
never suspects these things, Others
acknowledge that they may exist,
but will not take the trouble to
look for them. Comparatively few
know how well it pays to dig down
to the beauty that is hidden.
