Chapter C: G. D. Roberts tells of the capture of a great eagle at the (7)

“Why in the world did you do it?” a friend asked the boss.

The answer was short and to the point. “I looked ’em up, and
found that Nagle was a better man than Johnson, in spite of
the fact that the latter had the bigger job. Johnson has been
getting $30 a week for two years. He’s single, but he hasn’t got
a cent of savings in the bank. Nagle has been getting $18 for
the same length of time. But Nagle has been taking care of his
money, and now he has $300 to his credit in his savings account.
Johnson goes out and blows in his money and doesn’t give a
single thought to the future. Nagle plants a few dollars every
week. Do you suppose there can be any question as to the ability
of these two men?”

And when you think it over this is about as good a test of worth
as any that could be made.--Chicago _Tribune_.

WOUNDS, CURIOUS

Simon Stone was shot in nine places, and as he lay for dead the
Indians made two hacks with a hatchet to cut his head off. He
got well, however, and was a lusty fellow in Cotton Mather’s
time. Jabez Musgrove was shot with a bullet that went in at
his ear and came out at his eye on the other side. A couple of
bullets went through his body also. Jabez got well, however, and
lived many years. _Per contra_, Colonel Rossiter, cracking
a plum-stone with his teeth, broke a tooth and lost his life.
We have seen physicians dying, like Spigelius, from a scratch;
and a man who had had a crowbar shot through his head alive and
well. These extreme cases are warnings. But you can never be too
cautious in your prognosis, in view of the great uncertainty
of the course of any disease not long watched, and the many
unexpected turns it may take.--OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES,
JR.

WOUNDS THAT SPEAK

The advocates in ancient Rome gave effect to their appeals by
producing on fit occasions the living image of the client’s
misery, and his claims on the compassion of the courts. Thus,
when Antony was defending against the charge of pecuniary
corruption, Aquilius, who had successfully conducted the
campaign in Sicily against the fugitive slaves, and was unable
to disprove or refute the charge, in the midst of his harangue,
after appealing in impassioned tones to the services rendered
to his country by the brave soldier who stood by his side--he
suddenly unloosed the folds of his client’s robe, and showed
to his fellow citizens who sat upon his trial the scars of the
wounds which had been received in their behalf. They could not
resist the effect of such a sight, and Aquilius was acquitted.
(Text.)--CROAKE JAMES, “Curiosities of Law and Lawyers.”

Many a heart, like that of Thomas, has been softened and convinced by the sight of the marks of Christ’s passion.

WRONG RETROACTIVE

For he that wrongs his friend
Wrongs himself more, and ever bears about
A silent court of justice in his breast,
Himself the judge and jury, and himself
The prisoner at the bar, ever condemned.

Y

YEARS, THE UNRETURNING

Each day the tide flows out and in,
Each day the gray ships leave,
Each night the mute-lipped stars appear,
Each night the waters grieve;
But from their distant harbor home
Toward which our hearts are yearning,
No more with laden ships of dreams
We see the years returning.

Each year that passed the silent bar
Went out beyond forever;
Tho on the heights we watch and wait,
The ships are sighted never;
But in our hearts old memories
Come to the heart’s discerning,
And comfort us if nevermore
We find the years returning. (Text.)

YOU

The personal note in these verses (author unidentified) gives force to the advice they contain:

The world is waiting for somebody,
Waiting and watching to-day;
Somebody to lift up and strengthen,
Somebody to shield and stay.
Do you thoughtlessly question, “Who?”
’Tis you, my friend, ’tis you!

The world is waiting for somebody,
Somebody brave and strong,
With a helping hand, a generous heart,
With a gift of deed or song.
Do you doubtfully question, “Who?”
’Tis you, my friend, ’tis you!

The world is waiting for somebody,
The sad world bleak and cold,
When wan-faced children are watching
For hope in the eyes of the old.
Do you wond’ringly question, “Who?”
’Tis you, my friend, ’tis you!

The world is waiting for somebody,
And has been for years on years;
Somebody to soften its sorrows,
Somebody to heed its tears.
Then doubting question no longer, “Who?”
For, oh, my friend, ’tis you!

The world is waiting for somebody,
A deed of love to do;
Then up and hasten, everybody,
For everybody is you!
For everybody is you, my friend,
For everybody is you!

YOUTH OF THE HEART

If we would keep our spirits young we should learn this lesson from the trees, by Richard Kirk:

Master, I learn this lesson from the trees:
Not to grow old. The maple by my door
Puts forth green leaves as cheerily as I,
When I was taller than this selfsame tree,
Put forth my youthful longings. I have erred,
Standing a bleak and barren leafless thing
Among my hopeful brothers. I am shamed.
I will not be less hopeful than the trees;
I will not cease to labor and aspire;
I will not pause in patient high endeavor;
I will be young in heart until I die.

--_Lippincott’s Magazine._

YOUTH, USEFUL

A newsboy of only fourteen lately did heroic rescue work in
connection with the disaster at the Alexandra docks extension,
in Newport, Monmouthshire, England, descending sixty feet under
the fallen and broken timbers to clear the way to where the
bleeding and crippled laborers were lying. The lad with two
hands to help, and with a clear brain and a loving heart, is a
very important factor in this busy and often troubled world.

YOUTHFUL TENDENCIES

One of our illustrated papers presented a picture in a late
issue that painted a very definite moral. It was labeled “Man in
the Making,” and showed two well-grown boys in a trolley car,
one crowded in a corner and reading “Dead-Eye Dick,” and the
other sitting up thoughtfully and studying his geometry.

ZEAL

Dr. Bonar tells of a dream he once had. In his dream the angels
weighed his zeal, and he was delighted with the result. It
reached the maximum and turned the scale at a hundred. Then
they analyzed it, and his delight vanished. For (out of the
hundred) fourteen parts were pure selfishness, fifteen parts
sectarianism, twenty-two parts ambition, twenty-three parts love
for man, and twenty-six parts love to God. He awoke from his
dream sobered and saddened, but resolved on a new consecration.

How much religious zeal (if analyzed) would prove even more corrupt!
