On a bright Sabbath morning, a3 I was hurrying along the street in an swer to the welcome call of the me lodious tones of the church bell, .

Taere irtood one o i the wutside rejidiu from the Bible, and the care worn prisoner within was purring out througli th bars with anxious, sad dened look, eeemlug to say in his very resignation ; ''Oh, if I co.ild i;ave learned of higher things in the lays ot'my youth !" As I watched !ui listened, tiie question c&vjo to me whether or not these into whose eare hini early trunig was commit ted had done all they could itmards devtfiopnijjr in him the' hilwr and better pari of his nature, Perhaps not ma::y find themselves in the prison house through neglect or. the part of those who ought to have gnided them better. But many a young man finds himself far behind in the race, who if bis parent cr juardiaa had forced him to do Vdiat lie did not- wish to do or had given him a little encour agement when the grest decision of life was about to be made, would have beea ft perr cmon j the leaders oY "thought and enterprise of his community. v Sometimes srbere the boy shows unruistskably that he desires to he educiUvl, the aspiration is choke out by the pcrausakm that the sac rifice ii loo great. A boy thus treated ought to ris up in rebellion in hia own mind when he becomes man, he ought to i override such persuasions by dint of his own perseverance end energy in rising to that station among men of knowledge which it is possible for him to reach if lie will try. And it is to be feared that far too many parents excuse tbeaselres for not doing wbatl aay miht for their boys and say thau iS' there is much fii rh bent ia the uoy's dli-p .Tiiti.oa he will reach thori things when he be comes u irii , , Do not tric poets words, "Ye k'4svr your uuty buL elid it not," spply t'.o ofton . to parcnt3 who lp' l?i.vir h '3 i-j foUow their own indication?

Nimrod was strictly temperate. He did uot use tobacco in any way. When he died there was no family physician with the temerity to attri bute his early d ath to the effects of the "evil weed ' and thor-3 was, no temperance ioeturer,and no pro hihitionist to stand tip bohll"' and eloque itly say that drinking and keeping la.e hourj hastened the end of hi .-earthly career.If lie ever had the .delL'iuui tremens his friends kept the matter secret. .No one w as left to tell h!s successors that he was a disobedient boy and his mor tality has ,tood for several yesra unchallenged. We are to d o.'" no rev enue olicerSjOf no temperance soci ety, do prohibition and no antrk baconfct' thercil I infer that his .ieath vras all right and n,t-veryj characteristic, But I have digresBsed. The scenes of fiai rod's childhood were dear, yery dearto his heart. And frequently, when his hair had be come silvered, he could bo seen si lently shedding tears and then he was thfuking"f Sunday P.

Ilaai wouldcaT his old si-ttetl hound and his two pointer pups and then eatch bold f little Nim's hand and go dowrn to the pasture. And there Uaa; would perch himself upon the fence laud watch his grandson hunTab- i liUs. Nim was a goswl rabi.-ic hun ter when he was even a boy a;, i one g fted w ith fair insight into the future would have seen in the young rabbit hunter the germ of the great, wide world roaowned hunter that we know Nimrod vus.

Nimrod s children were very neglectful, for they did not even raise a monument to his men, ory. They even squandered his property aud had the family name changed, for what reason I have noj be n able to discover. I have been incited to the writing of this brief sketch of a once illestrious person, by no selfish inotive-!, ' No hope of Hgentiiary reward rankles i a my bosom.
