What if you arc but an humble, obscure apprentice a poor, neglected orphau a seetf and a by-word for the thoughtless and gay, who despise virtue in rags, because of its taltcis? Have yon an intelligent miud, untutored though it be? Have you a airtttous aim, a pure desire aud honest heart? Depend 11)1011 it, some of these days you will be wanted. The time may be long deferred you may be grown into manhood and you may even reach your prime ere the call is made but virtuous pure desires and honest hearts arc too few not to be appreciated not to be wanted.

For one second, as il gained its position, the villi: waved, and then instantly became immovable as though held iu a vice.

With clasped hands and staring eyes the parents watched the slatue-like form upon which so much depended. Suddenly a sharp report ning out the white smoke drilled away, and as the vision became clearer, they saw the savage loose his hold upon the child, reel wildly an instant and then pilch forward upon the rocks.

A True Prophet. X'ot long ago a fellow, apparently in a slate of great excitement, rushed into a saloon iu this city, and his hat on the bar, he cried to the barkeeper: "liive me a drink, Dan, quick!

The following is a simple mode of rendering water almost as cold as ice: Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used for water be surrounded with one or more folds of coarse cotton kept constantly wet. The evaporation of the water will carry off the heat from the inside and reduce it to a freezing point.

In India and other tropical regions where ice cannot be procured, this is common. Let every mechanic or laborer have at his place of employment tw pitchers thus provided wilh lids and covers, the one lo contain water lor drinking the other for evaporation, and he can always a supply ol conl water 111 warm weath er. Anv person can lesi un oy tup ping a finger in water, and in holding it 111 tin: silrot a warm day this three or four times, he will find his linger uncomfoiiablv cold.
