When one gives a hoy a lift in the world he cannot tell what the conse¬ quences will he. Sir Ilninphrey Davy was once asked to give a list of the greatest discoveries which he had made.

X ' Vy . Some Observations. Among the various cases of impo¬ liteness wliich we notice in our every- i day life, few are the result of deliber¬ ate intention. A greater number are due to thoughtlessness, or a sort of mild selfishness. School girls are often seen congre- gated in little groups, laughing boister¬ ously, interrupting one another, three or four talking at once in their shrill¬ est tone.s, their combined efforts in this direction ])roducing a result which is very discordant to sensitive ears. These girls with the best of in¬ tentions are violating the rules of politeness. They are seemingly for¬ getful of the saying, “A soft voice is a beautiful thing in woman.” Again these same girls, during school hours and in their recitations, go to the other extreme, mumbling so faintly that they are repeatedly requested to speak louder. How annoying to a congregation to have a man rise and divest himself of his overcoat at some fine passage of music or during the sermon ! Yet we frequently see it done. Nor is this the only case of impoliteness that hap¬ pens in the church. Man is as thought¬ less and selfish here as at other public ])laces. The premature shutting of hymn-books, the turning and rustling of the leaves of the ]i ible, whispered remarks ujion the ])reacher, the ser¬ mon, or a lady’s bonnet, are of fre¬ quent occurrence. Still greater thoughtlessness is dis- played at places of put)lic amusement, especially at theatres, ddie jmrchaser of a ticket feels himself entitled to enjoy himself even at another’s ex¬ pense. He talks during the acts, crit¬ icising the actors and the acting in a voice which is ])erfectly audible to many. If he be at all musical and the entertainment consists of singing, he hums or attem])ts to hum the air which is being i)layed. W1 len men and bovs stand talking on the street corners, do they realize that they are obstructing the way and hindering other persons from ])assing? When they quietly puff the smoke from their cigai-s into a ]tassing lady’s face, are they aware that they are making themselves obnoxious? Dis¬ respectful conduct of the young towards the old, loud laughter and rude behavior, would be banished if all thought how their actions appear¬ ed to others.

A Reverie. One afternoon, wishing for seclu¬ sion, I went to a favorite nook of mine in the woods. It was a beautiful place, carpeted tvitli soft green turf, u])on which the sutibeams flickered and danced as they shone through the foli¬ age overhead. A little, murmuring brooklet W ' andered through the place, its banks bordered with ferns and flow ' ers; and its tinkling w ' aters tum¬ bling over mossy stones made contin¬ uous music. Sitting down in a shady place, I became w ' holly absorbed in my book, w ' hen gradually, owdng to the quiet, my eyes began to grow heavy, my book slipped gently from my hands, and aftei- a time I seemed to become conscious of an unusual commotion among the trees and grass. I noticed it first in those nearest me, then all show ' ed the same agitation. Every leaf and blade quivered and shook, and seemed to be w’his])ering in an excited manner. In a moment, a sound of music was heard, wdiich grad¬ ually grew louder and more distinct. This caused more excitement than ever, and on glancing in the direction whence it came, I saw in the distance an odd looking grou]) approaching. As it advanced, tlie ti ' ees noiselessly moved backward on either side, leav¬ ing a broad, clear avenue for its a])- ])roach. A cloud of sheeny, shimmering green attracted my attention, which on a nearer view ' , ])roved to be the lovely, graceful form of Flora, god¬ dess of flowers, attired in her holi¬ day dress. Preceding her Avas a strange ficrure which I instantly recog¬ nized from its tall hoiais, ruddy face and crooked nose, as Pan, god of all nature, wdio with his flute had caused the greater jiart of the commotion. Flora w ' as accom])anied by Titania, queen of the fairies, and a trooj) of charming w ' Ood-nym])hs and graceful water-sprites escorted them to a moss covered throne, w ' hich until this time had remained concealed by a netw ' ork of intervening branches. Titania sat in a half-opened rose bud by Flora’s side. From the preparations that w ' ere made, I knew ' that Flora wuis to hold her annual review ' . Screened by the foliage, I remained a delighted wit¬ ness of the scene which follow ' ed. Again the sound of joyous music W ' as heard, announcing the approach of the flowers. They appeared at the farther end of the long avenue, and noiselessly, without a movement on their part, w ' ere rapidly impelled for- W ' ard by some unseen pow ' er, until they arriA ' ed before their queen. Leading the van Avere Grammoidm, the grass family, at Avhose head Avere the Reeds, Avho Avith their })ipes of various sizes had made the SAveet har¬ mony Avhich I heard. Titania, Avho Avas not much acquainted Avith the family, Avas anxious to knoAv about them, and Flora told her of Avhat great use they had been to man, hoAV they had furnished him his first arroAA ' , his first pen, and his first instrument of music. Others of the grass family Avere present, the Rye, VYheat, Barley and Indian Corn, calling forth more praise from Flora concerning the entire fam¬ ily, Avho supply a large portion of food both for man and beast. The Sedges noAV ])assed, sighing mournfully, as is their custom, Avhether the occasion be sad or joyous. A fcAV steps behind Avere the Gamopetahv.
