Thoro lived in a Hcotch village a lit
tie boy, Jmlo by camo, who act hia
heart on being a Bailor. His mother
loved him vory dearly, and tho thought
of giving him up grieved her exceed
ingly ; bnt alio llnolly consented. As
tho boy left homo, alio aaid to him,
" Wberovcr you arc Jamlo, whotbor on
soa or land, nover forgotto acknowledge
your God. Promise rao thatyoti will
kneel down, ovory night and morning,
and aay your prayers, no matter wheth
er tho Bailor laugh at you or not,"
"Mother, I pronihw you I will."
said Jamie ; and soon ho was on a ship
bound for India.
Thoy had a good captain, and an
aomo of tho Bailors woro religious men,
no ono laughed at tbo boy when ho
kneeled down to pray.
Hut on tho return voyage, aomo of
tho sailors having van away, their
places woro supplied by others, ono of
whom proved to bo a vory bad follow.
When ho saw littlo Jamie kneeling
down to aay his prayers", ho went np to
him giving him a aonml box on tho
ear, aaid in a vory decided tone, " Nono
of that hero, air."
Another seaman who caw this, al
though ho aworo sometimes, was indig
nant that tho child should bo so cruelly
treated and told tbo bnlly to como up
on dock and ho would giro him a
thrashing. Tho challengo was accepted,
and tho well-deserved beating waa duly
ltcatowod. lotb then returned to tho
cabin, and tho swearing man aaid,
"Now, Jamie, say yonr prayers, and if
ho dares to touch you I will givo him
another dressing.
Tho next night tho dovil pnt it into
tho little boy's mind that it waa quite
unnecessary for him to create such a
disturbance in the hhip, when it could
lo easily avoided, if ho would only say
hia prayers quietly in hia hammock, ao
that nobody would obtorro it. Hut tbo

to tho s-Kit, and dragging him out by
tho neck, ho said :
" Kneel down at once, sir I Do you
think I am going to fight for you, and
you not say your prayera, you young
rascal ?''
During tbo wholo Toyago back to
London this profano sailor watched
orer tho boy as if ho had boon his
father, and every night saw that ho
knolt down and said his prayers. Jamie

Yo have no doubt that tho latter

and madder, as it did Mrs. M ,
who suffered from tho "yx." Hho
was always ailing with fanded disorders,
and after years of expensive complaint
and "doctoring" to no purpose, alio
asked her physician, Dr. Walter Chan
uing, if alio had not better try tho Hara
toga waters.
" Keally, madam," aaid tho accom
modating, gonial doctor, " do yon know,
I have thought of that very thing for
yon. I will givo you a letter to ono of
tho boat physicians of tho place, and if
yon will pnt yourself tinder bis guid
ance, I am sura ho will help yon."
Tho lady was delighted, and the doc
tor on tho following day brought tho
letter, properly superscribed, and
soaled with a common wafer.
Arrived in Albany, where sbo bad
arranged to spend a night, tbo lady
looked at tho letter for the hundred aod
tenth time. Haid sho to her attendant,
a near relative, " Doctor Channing
has never told mo, right up and down,
what ailed mo, and now I havo a mind
to look for myself ; for of course ho
has told everything to tho Saratoga
doctor."
Tho attendant, wo may suppose,
would haro persuaded tho lady not to
do it. I'orhaiis she u spec tol what tbo
result would be. Hat she did not for
cibly prevent the deed, and tho letter
was, with much difficulty, opened with
out breaking tlio pajtcr. And this was
what her ladyship found dashed off in
hor physician's bold rambling hand :
"My Draw Docron: Mrs. M ,
of our pliico, will band yon this. I
need not explain her case. Sho ia am
ply ablo to pay all bills. Keep her as
long as tlio mood for tbo waters is ou,
and then return her to
"Yours truly, W. CiuxxiKa."
Tho lady's wrath car. bt better im
agined than described, cjiio was at
homo again within a week, and when
she told her husluind of tbo outrage,
no quietly answered nor :
"Aye, Doctor Channing told me
what ho had written, and ho said ho
know you woold open tho letter, and
therein see how lightly ho held your
fancied ailments."
The result of it all waa, that the lady
would not bco Dr. Channing again for
a twelvemonth ; and as she hod ao con-
tldenoo in any other physician, bLo
braved it out iu hor indignation without
doctoring of any kind, and so had one
year of comparative health. Keie York

A Dellowiujr Elephant.
During a recent high wind tho large
lantern on the top of tho elephant
house in tho Zoological Garden of
Philadelphia was demolished. Pieces
of tho thick glass fell into tho cago oc
cupied by the elephants, and tbo fe
male, treading ou ono of tho fragments,
received a painful wound.
Instead of displaying tlio heroic pa
tieuco nnder snlienng that might bavo
bceu looked for in a creaturo of her di
mensions, sho set up a howl that made
tho roar of the storm seem the sighing
of a zepuyr by contrast.
Tho keeper, attracted by tho din.
hastened to tho scone, and fonnd her
rolling about tho cago bellowing tho
whilo incessantly.
Her comaniou wai found to ba com
forUng her as well aa ho could by try
ing to roar louder than she did, and by
letting a half-pint tear of sympathy now
and then roll down his trunk, which
was wound tendorly abont tho wounded
leg of tho prostruto beast.
Mr. Henry 0. Chapman, surgeon to
tho Zoological Society, waa summoned.
Ho directed that tho sufferer should be
mado fast, to that sho oould not inter
fero iu his operation with her agita
Uou. Sho was secured by ropes and thrown
ou her side on a bed of. straw, treat
ment which evoked from her some ex

however, sho showed au elephant's in

Tho operation occupied but a few
uiiuutea iu its ierformauco. Dr. Chap

HIiakpcare's Early Jinn-led Life.
Tho Hnthawaya liail lived fn Hhottory
for forty years prior to Shakspoaroji
marriage. Tbo poet, thon wholly un
distinguished, had just turned eighteen,
whilo his brido was nearly twenty-six,
and it is often aaid now that she did
very wrong to wod this boy-lover. Thoy
woro married In November. 1582. and
their first child, Snsannn, camo in the
following May. Anno Hathaway must
havo been a wonderfully fascinating
woman, or ttnakspearo would not so
havo loved her: and sho must have
loved him dearly an what woman, in
deed, could beln it? or sho wonld not
thus havo yielded to his passion. Tbero
is utrcct testimony to the beamy of ins
person; and, in tho light afforded by
his writings it requires no extraordinary
penetration to conjecturo that his bril
liant mind, sparkling humor, tender
fanoy, and impetuous spirit must have
made him in bis youth tho very para
gon of enchanters. It is not known
whero they lived during tho first yeara
after their marriage. Perliap) in this
cottage at Hhottery. Perhaps with
Ham net and Judith Sadler, for whom
their twins, bora in 1583, rtxe named
Hamnet and Judith. Her father's
houso assuredly wonld havo been chosen
for Anne's refuge, when prcsently,in
1530, Shakspearo was obliged to leave
bis wifo and children, and go away to
London to seek his fortune. Ho did
not buy Now Placo till 1597, but it is
knowu that in tho meantime ho came
to his native country onco every year.
It was in Stratford that his son Hamnet
died, in 159C. Anno and her children
probably had never left tho town. They
show her bedstead and other bits of fur
niture, together with certain homespun
sheets of everlasting linen, that aro kept
as heirlooms to this day, in the -arret
of the Hhottery eoltage. Here is tbo
room that must ofteu have welcomed
the poet when he camo homo from his
labors in the great city. It is a very
homely and humble place, but tho sight
of it makes tho heart thrill with a strange
and incommunicable awe. You cannot
wish to sjpeak when you aro standing
there. You aro scarcely conscious of

Emperor aud Boy.
Ono of tho commissioners from Bra
zil to the Philadelphia exposition, told
a pleasant story of the emperor. A lad
oi good family, ia Bio Janeiro, foBad
himself left, by tlio deata ol bis lamer.
friendless and penniless. One day he
saw a middle-aged gentleman plainly
dressed, and with a singularly candid,
kind countenance, walking alone in the
street Tho lad's companion told him
it was the emperor, adding, "liecnooeee
to bo unnoticed, to go up and down as
tho father of his people."
" If he is tho father of his people,"
said tho boy, " he will take some inter
est iu mo ; and, approaching tho em
peror, though trembling with, fright, ho
told bis story in a few direct words.
Dom Pedro listened attentively.
" "Wbat is it tlmt you want, then, my
boy?"
An education, your majesry. ll l
had that I could be of some use to my
self and others. Now I am of nono."
" For what business did your father
deaicn vou?'
"That of a civil engineer, sir."
" Come to me at noon to-morrow."
Tho emperor inquired concerning the
'lad. and then took upon himself tho
whole expense of his support andedn
canon, seuumg nisi iu iius rouuu tu
receive the latter. Tho fact which gives
more significance to tho story is that
tho emperor is comparatively a poor
man, his income being much less thau
that of many wealthy Brazilian gentle
men. Even tho education of thia, ono
boy involved a certain amount of self-
sacriuco on ma part.
Dom Pedro cares nothing for luxury,
pomp, or even the honors of tho worm ;
his whole aim is the olovation and im
provement of his subjects. For this
purpose ho has visited almost every
civilised conntry, carrying noma mo
best in theory aud practice, to experi
ment in juruzit. na waa occuaiuiuou uu
bis tours of investigation at the expo
sition, to go about iueosnito, iu shabby

pointment of tho crowd. They did not
recognize tho fact that uo iusiguia of
royalty could add dignity to such real
majesty of character.
Lni'luesce or Ciuuirex. Wo cannot
but think that this constant presence of
human nature, pure aud happy, of sim
ple aud innocent enjoyment, exerts a
great, though littlo noticed influence
on this wholo groat fighting family of
mau : aud that each member of it fore-!
goes somewhat of his selfishness, abates
something of its fury after every such
contemplation of aomething happier
than himself, whicb never yet regarded
self, uover was infuriated by passions.
No wonder that tho greatest of men
havo mostly evinced a passionate fond
ness for children ; neither ii it surpris
ing that iu soma persons uot otherwise
o( weak character, such fondness ehould
oveu rise to excess. In our mourning
over u lost child, the vory sources of
our comfort boar in thrai an embitter
iug vouom for our grief. To the busy
world, what, indeed, ia the death of a
child? It forwarded, it rotarded no
humau aim ; it stood an insignificant
alieu by tho side of tho mighty aud
dusty arena of lifo. Not so toUe pa
rent. To him its smile aud play were
tho invigorating spirit that nerved him
ia the conflict ; a8d tho very apathy of
tho wholo world, beside its titter want
of sympathy with him in his (to their

au added source of polguant, louoly,
neart-eoustimmg misery.
