A FIXE SCENE.
Two boys were in a schoolroom
aloae together, and exploded some
fireworks. One boy denied it. The
other, Ben Christie, would neither
admit nor deny it, and was severely
flogged for his obstinacy. When the
boys were alone again, the real of
fender asked: "Why didn't you
deny It?"
"Because there were only two of
us, aad one must have lied," said
Ben.
"Then why not say I did it?"
"Because you said you didn't."

PHILLIPS BROOKS.
A Boston Gazette writer tells that
a lady was traveling from Provi
dence to Boston with her weak-mimd-ed
father. Before they arrived there
he became possessed of a fancy that
he must get off the train while it was
still in motion, that some absolute
duty called him. His daughter en
deavored to quiet him, but it was dif
ficult to do it, and she was just giv
ing up in despair when she noticed a
very large man watching the proceed
ing intently over the top of his news
paper. As soon as he caught her eye,
he arose and crossed quickly to her.
"I beg your pardon," he said, "you
are in trouble. May I help you?" As
soon as he spoke she felt perfect
trust in him. She explained the sit
uation to him. "What is your fath
er's name?" he asked.
She told him, and with an encour
aging smile he bent over the gentle
man who was sitting in front of her,
and said a few words in his ear. With
a smile, the gentleman arose, crossed
the aisle and took the vacant seat,
and the next momelit the large man
had turned over the seat, and, lean
ing toward the troubled old man, had
addressed him by name, shaken
hands cordially, and engaged him in
a conversation so interesting and so
cleverly arranged to keep his mind

helps to make them more slender
