When John Blythe went home that night he laughed a little to himself to think how many of his investments in wildcat humanity had brought back no dividends. But he always had faith in the last one. "' The truth is,” his mother had told the minister that morning, when she bogged him to withhold her son a little from his prodigal benevolencesâ€"“the truth is that John regularly strips himself once a. month or so for some plausible scamp. Three times this season has he tome home Without: a waistcoat. And I fully expect to see the day when he will have to lie in bed to have his only shirt washed, his opulent _{ H beggars havmg pawned all the rum. Blythe still lived with his mother, because he felt that'ne'e‘th‘er “Women would be happy with theperplexitics which his constant experiments in sociology, entailed on his household, and because he had never found a. woman whom he could ask to share that poverty which might so easily have been wealth had be chosen to conduct his moral bookâ€"keeping ac- cording to received usage. In this new rogue he had taken much stock, as he said. The man was not only [legtaimrm but to save hunf mm; ke himself, whom he would know how to reach. But after one brief, illâ€"spelled and dirty note to say that he had found work and a friend in his employer, he made no sign. And when a year or two of silence had convinced even Blythe that the taint of ten years could not be cured by an hours’ kindness, he only said, “ Well, poor fellow, I ought to have kept him under my own eye. There was good. in him. But I_snp- pose life was too hard.” . So eight years went by, Blythe ggoing his daily round of unostenta- {tious duty, never dreaming that he was a saint in shabby vestinents, and only seeing that each day he let slip some chance of helplessness which he might have seived. His business had not thriven us he had hoped. Men were a little shy of such a Quixote, genius though he was; and he was so certain to refuse cases where the right was not clearly on his side that his fees grew feWer year by year. It was hard, because he saw such good that might be done by money. But he only pinched himself the more. There came in time a cholera sumâ€" mer. People fled the city in herds. Almost nobody was left, save the wretches who could not fly, and whose poverty, ignorance and dirti predetermined them victims. By’ day‘ and by night. in the stews and slums oi. the town, horrible in the August heat and etenches, dohn Blythe watched and worked. His perfect health, which seemed to place him beyond peril of infection, his-skill in nursing, his tenderness, and the quiet courage which roused an answering courage in the afl'righted victims, made him invaluable to the d<‘)(fiLUl‘.~5. He often met one other volunteer ,nurse, not less invaluable than him- ‘ self, the physican‘s said. But beyond civil greetings they had neither time nor thought to bestow on each other, But one morning as Blythe ieft the hospital, after a hard and weary night's work, he overtook his silent; fellow-worker. The latter lifted his hat, and as the clear, early lightfell “Yes,” said the stranger, heartily, ‘6 you are perhaps the only i arson who ever did know me. On ’ acquaint- ancc‘ began in a breach of good mur- ners on my part,, for I asked an imâ€" portant personal favor before being inlroduced. You may remember being solicited to kick me and let me go on a morning much like this.” John Blythe, the first ofthe name, dragged his namesake into a friendly doorway, Within whose shelter he fell on his neck and kissed him, and then sat down on the very dirty sum-s and cried. John Blythe, the second of the name,leuning on the balustrade, also cried. The sponsor was the first to recover his speech. “ History repeats itself,” he said. “ Twice found in the street, and a second time to be invested in my clothesâ€"for we can’t take break- fast in theseâ€"and again to break the bread that precedes a new career to- THERE IS NO DEATH. A SENSIB LE STORY [CONCLUDED.] RICHMOND HiLL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1873 GI‘B gethorâ€"-â€"for I never will let you out of my sight again, you rascalâ€"and once more to set you up in other busi- nessâ€"for now you are to be your own biographer, and tell me tales of your- self for a thousand and one nights. But be pleased to hold your tongue till we have both bathed ano eaten, or we shall both be down with the cholera, and the two best nurses too engaged to attend us.” But when they had refreshed them- selves with water amd‘figesli linen, and had eaten their breakfast together in the cellar-restaurant where they had first adopted each other, the elder ei‘iu‘emed the younger to speak. " My boy,” he said, “we shall have observ- ed the dramatic unitiés in’ a way to satisfy Dr. Johnson himself, when in that very chair you tel-lune your story. Come, noWâ€"â€"Enter John Blythe, second; solus, loquitor.” “I’m almost ;deaf and dumb with joy, sir,” ansWered his namesake,“ “ and I'm afraid that I am not much better at talking about myself than I was when you first invited me to do it, and made a man of me. I have often thought, of late that had done wrong not to Write. Bum-the truth was that after I had written you that I had gotten a hold on life again, it seemed 0. little contemptible to be hanging on to you, even With letters, when I could stand alone. And 1 i was afraid you might think I wanted money, or notice, or the help of your name, if I kept remindiij you of me. I think now it was pride?! but then I thought it was humility. And I set up a certain stint to myself todo beâ€" fore [would W‘rite again. I told you I was an extra go‘od workman. ‘ Well,’ I said, ‘1’“ get extra good pay, and then I’ll write and say that‘deeds are a better coin than word} to pay one’s debts in, and that I have ‘got some of this good tender to Show how grateful I am.’ Of course I hadto begin low hiid'ewkupc And My ignor- ance, and got; booliszn 1; u 'e‘dflel‘x night and Sundays. "‘hat was much the toughest job of they-two, the boo}:~ 5 learning. Bub Mr. Bretdfimry watched me for your sake, and gum Mr. John was at home in vacations he used to comedown and tall:- 102m, and when he found that; l was try-{fig to improve myeelf. he offered to help me, and after that, I got on inmigusly: Pres: ently I saw that it allffiegewéd a. me howwsoon‘l shon"h‘be made; man, fin’d 1' Worked. li :e'ull poise (if; meaning to write to you as soon as I got the place. Having no expenses ; to speak of', I began to lay up money from the first, and a. perfect greed of getting and saving took hold Ofme, for I wanted to astonish my mtoniehâ€" ing grandfather with the amount of it. But Mr. Bradbury was buying land here and there in the suburbs where he knew the horse railroads. were going to put it up, and he said tome, ‘John, if you choose to risk your money in land, I’ll buy for you Eh; I buy far Irayself,’ and I" think we shall make a good thing.’ “ Well, of course Idid choose. And, what isn’t of course, we did make, money hand over hand. And it seemed as if I was foreman in no time. And then I thought, ‘No, I won’t write just yet, for the signs are thatI shall he manager.’ Sure enough, that wasn’t for oil" either. For the yong gentlemen did not like the business, and the old gentleman was wrapped up in it, and couldn’t bear to think that it would go all to pieces when he should die. Soho pushed me, nd I pushed myself, and every wind that blew seemed to fill my saile. My moueyjust rolled overlike a great- suoW-hall. And the harder I studied the clearer my head grew and lthe easier it seemed, though I found, out, like Mr. Boffin, that there werel lots of" searers’ in print. ' “Well, I hadn’t were than turned round, it seemed to me, after I was manager, before Mr. Bradbury sent for me again, and told me'that I was so well up in the business, financial and mechanical, that he waeprepared to offer me a junior partnership if I liked. I don't suppose the Emperor of Hoosha thinks half so well of him- self as I did then, Mr. Blythe. But after all, it wasn’t the success itself that I cared about, but just the bring- I ing of it back to you, and saying, ‘It’s all yours, air; the credit ofit, and the money, and the man that you made out 01 a vagabond with your heavenly kindness.” ' “ So then I sat down and wrote you a letter, and told you all of this long story. But when it was done a great light fell on me as it did on Paul. And I saw that, after all, 1 was going to make you amisomble returz‘. For I had just settled right down andl grubbed for money and grabbed forl learning, just to make n'iyselfa little worthier to be your friend, and a. little more importantin your eyeg, and to be able to spend it for you. And I had not made the world really any better off for my being in it. Ii thought how different my narrow no- tion of virtue was from that of yours. v that helps everybody, for Mr. Brad- bury has told me all about you, sir. And I felt that I wasn't worth shueks. So I tore up the letter and began tol live a dilf‘erent life. I knew well‘ enough that my 'work lay among the prisoners, and for a year I’ve done what I could for them. But that’s not the point now. Still I don’t feel fit to come back and beg you to live with me, and that was the dream of my life. I wasvpossessed to do some , tremendous thing, like saving a family from a burning house, or from a wreck, maybe, at the risk of my life. And Iwas in the mood when the news of this awful cholera came over; and I saw my chance. I knew that you would be in the worst of it, and in my thoughts I saw you meeting. me, and being so pleased and aston- ished. Well, I came; and I saw you the first day, and you didn’t know mu. I had" never thought of that chance. And it was a kind of blow to me for it seemed as if you had never been out of my thoughts, sleep‘ ing or waking, and I fell: clean for- gotten. So I made up my mind not to speak till you knew me, unless you should get the sickness or I should. But just to see you every day has been new life to me. And that’s all,” he said, laughing; like a boy at his own tears. John Blythe never knew what he said in answer. He talked almost as long as his namesake had done. He planned a little holiday that they should have together when their nursing was over. And when they rose from the table he said, with quaint reverence, “John, henceforth there is a new sacrament for me. It is the Lord’s breakfast, for I shall always believe that, the risen Lord has twice sat with us at meat.” “Most folks would think He’d lost His way,” said the other, “ to sit down in a. cellar and eat; with a convict, where there was no tablecloths nor silver forks ; but I guess Mr. Blythe, He’d go 1:; 0st anywhere you go, be cause you’re just one of His kind. I’m on duty at eleven o’clock, and I must put out. But a few hours of parting don’t matter to a man who’s had so many years of it. And we can have dinner together, can’t we ?” “All dinners and all breakfasts, dear son of my love,” cried Blythe. “ We shall live together now and help one another. I shall come down to you as soon as I have had my sleep.” _ But when he run up the hospital S‘tgf,‘-Ԥ4{13t afternoon, thrilled with his now joy; and strong with his strength, he found'fim house surgeon waiting for him. “ hil'.fii5«'1bQ,” said he, “we havehad our worst; stroke of luck this morning. That capital nut-seebyâ€"tho-by, queerly enough, his name is Blythe, too, I findâ€"-is down with the disease, and it will go hard with him, He ban had some great ,egggcitemen_t"torday.\. saw i-t'the inst: mg: w; J v . ant he came “Prcyes all inflame, face perfectly transfigured, hands trembâ€" ling. Hg is not strong. Early dissi- pation, I reckon, and overwork in business. And luter this awfu1 hos- pital duty, and who devil’s own heat, beside. When a strong excitement was added to these strains he broke right down. I stopped you to tell you that you must take care of him, and thatit‘ you can get him to tell you what is burning him up, it may save his life, though I doubt. And 1;:lking’s :1 bad remedy, too, for he 0 "ht to be quiet.” “ Put I know What it was that ussed him up, and he trusts ». Then wh: 1,?" “My dear follow, then we may save. him. \Ve won’tgive him up.” But ‘le 3,3001“ soul that had. never known a Lilsll(,lll()0d,1)OI‘ an unbtmincd youth, nor the love oi‘womun, nor the kiss of little children, was is begin the new life Where zll thew, or their recompense, might await him. He did not talk. He \‘as cmil'mat {0 lie still and look at- Jolm Biyl' 0‘s face. But at the last the chaplain steed beâ€" side him too. And when he asked, “ Do you trust in the mercy of Go}, dear brother ?” the fading eyes looked with unutterablo love in 113; he’s, and the spent voice said cleariy, " He gave His mgel charge COHCCl’Iiillg" me to keep me up, lost 1. should dash 11):; foot against a stone.” Then they Jolt the bedside, for the living needed them. He had given his. papers to his friend; and among them was a cnpy this will. In token ofleve he haul left all his property to “ John Blythe, for whom he was nun1ed,and to whom I owe all that I have and am.” It was a legacy that; grew in hulk day by day, and made Irany :u) abject creaâ€" ture happier. And it is still in other bands, doing '19 good werk, though the last earthly recon! Q)" the two 0bâ€" scure lives whose gift it was is writâ€" ten on alittle slab in Greenwood, thus: “ Sacred to the memory of John (1 Blythe, and of John Blythe, his be loved namesake.” You cannot pay too careful attenâ€" tion to business it‘you vaut to sucâ€" ceed, that is. It; is the result of prac- tical, everyday experience that sieady attention to matters of detail lies at the root of human progress, and that diligence, above all, is the mother ol good luck. Accuracy, also, is of much importance, and an invariable mark of good training in a 1n:niâ€"~ziecuracy in observation, accuracy in the tran- saction of affairs. What is done in business must be well done, for it is better to accomplish a small amoum of work than to half do ten times as much. Yet in business afl’airs, it is the manner in which even small matâ€" ters are transacted that often decides men for or against you. With Virtue, capaciiy and good conduct in other ‘respeets, the. person who is habitually linaecurale cannot be trusted; hi lwork has to be done over again, an he thus causes endless anLeyane vexation and trouble. The following anecdote, which was told me by an eyewitness, I will reâ€" late as I can recollect it in his own words. In the early mining days of Cali- fornia there stood at the foot of the hill, not many miles from Nevada, one of those rough-built gaming houses so common throughout the mining sections of the territory. A description of this structure and its surroundings will convey to the read- er a better idea of the incident I am about to relate. The building con- tained but one room, the entrance to which was situated at one end, with a large adobe fireplace on the other end, nearly opposite to the entrance. On the large stone hearth burned a wood tire, giving to the room a cheerful appearance. On the front, at the right of the entrance, was a. wellâ€"filled bar, around which were congregated representatives of ditierent nations, some speculating on the success of ivarious mining operations, while others were discussing the general topics of the day. Along the rear‘ side of the room extended a row of tables, around each of which wasw seated a company of miners playing poker, and staking large sums of gold ‘with as much coolness and apparent unconcern as if they were partaking of their evening meal. A few rude seats occupied the space around the fireâ€"place, and in the front portion of the room beyond the bar. The cabin of the settlers extended some distance to the front of the spot, While the un- settled portion of the country lay in the rear. hill before mentioned rising abmiptly from this position was thickâ€" ,_1 _...‘ 1"”.1 ” ' 1y interspersed with sage brush and thick bushes, affording a temporary hiding-place for the fugitive. As the evening wore on, the patrons of the saloon became more numerous, while the chiliness of the atmosphere caused those most- interested in the game at the table to gather round the lire. The eonversution, which at this time was becoming animated, was suddenly interrupted by u tall, raw-honed Yanâ€" kee, bearing in his hand a long rifle; around his wgist he wore a belt, from which was fiuspended a powder flask and bullet pouch. - ,. u u 1 ’ Advancng to the fire’wpiuce, he (16% pgsitcd his rifle in the corner and aftei“ accepting 331161839213 c. i » oii'ered to him by 01160F€Ké 7 . t he seated himself by the fire; resting one elbaw on his knee, and dropping his chin into his hand, he sat gloomiiy watching the fire as if some mighty grief was praying upon him. He mumbled. incoherently at times, and sat Without changing his position. The attention of the company was soon drawn to the stranger, and an occasional glance from those at the table was directed towards the place where he sat. He at, length broke out into such lumentntimxs ii‘iesac: “I’m "Lil-0d. of life. My claim has; failed, and I am \viblmn‘u i'ricnclA or money. I have not even enough to purchase a supper.

Story. f es "” we ‘ Some men may sneer at lamily wee- tion if the sentiment be paramount to all earthly considerations--if business losses or gains are forgotten in seasons of family affliction or rejoicing. But then these are not among earth’s noblest sonsâ€"~they are simply money-making automatons, whose places can be filled an hour after they have vacated them ; men who live only in the minds of their kinsmenâ€"not in their hearts. The great lerer by which the world is mov- ed should be called love ; it is the basis of all true excellenceâ€"of all exalted thoughts. Where a family of children are taught from childhood to be kind and loving to one another, and see the daily exhibition of like kindness and love between the parents, and from the parents to them, there we see strong manhood and noble womanhood. At- feotion does not beget weakness, nor is it efl‘eminote for a brother to be tenders 1y attached to his sisters. That boy will make the noblest and bravest man. Under the protection of men who cher- ish mother and sisters with tender. care, women are always safe. That young man' who was accustomed to kiss his sweet, innocent, loving sister night and morning as they met, shows its infikb once upon him, zind he will never forget it ; and when he shall take some one to his heart as his wife, she shall reap the golden fruit thereof. The young man who was in the habit of giving his arm to his sister as they walk to and from church, will never leave his wife to find her way as best she ‘can. The young man who has been taught to see that his sister had a seat before he sought his, will never mortify a. neg- lected wife in the presence of strangers. And that man who always handed to his sister his chair at the table, will never have cause to blush as he sees some gentlemen extend to his Wife the courtesy she knows is due from him.
