How to Swim.

A gentleman of our acquaintance tells us the following good story, which goes to show that the average Austin boy has what Mrs. Partington would call a “judicious” mind. He, the boy, wanted to go in swimming. “But, my son,” rejoined the anxious parent, “swimming is unhealthy. It was only this morning that you were complaining of a pain in your stomach.” “That’s so, pa; but I know how to swim on my back.” —Texas Siftings. He that does good for goodness’ sake seeks neither praise nor reward, though sure of both at last.
