Jack lUuisdale was a had bo', lit? hail N-eii u I mm I boy so long that sevrctly ho was rather tired of it ; but he n-allv did not know how lo li li himself. It was his reputation, ninl it n it curious, thin? how ntnr.iM.y we all lv up t our reputation ; tttat is to say, we do tlie things which are t-xH-t'(l of us. There is a ileal of homely sense in tlie oll .nverli, "(.jive a dog a had name and hang him." Hive a lmy a tail name, ami he is re-asemahly sure to descrve one. Not hut Jack llainsdale liad fairly earned Ids bad name. His mother liad died U furv he was old e-nough to re- . member her, so lie had never known what a home was. Once, when his father was unusually good-natured, he had a.ktl him noun queitiiiii idMiut his molher. "Ihe witi one of (iod s paints, if ever there was one."' the man answen-d, half reluctantly. Everybody wondered that the tiHikj'up with me. but maybe it was Uc3iiis she saw 1 nesel her more than anvltody ele did. She iniht have made a tlirtt n'nt man of me if she'd lived; at least. I've always thought o. I never drank so much "when she was alive hut what 1 kept a comfortable home over her head. Hut when she was it didn't apix artome there was anything left to live for. I lacked comfort non lv, and I don't say but what I've sought fork iu hyiiuth bv and forbidden paths, as she used to av." I wi-h I could ha' seen her," said.Ta k. 'She was a dreadful motherly exert ur, and wa- always haiiin' over you.

Now, aa his father ttlkeil. it Mi iuiAl to him so stranjrea thing to think that some one usul to stand Inside his N il in cold winter nights amlpniy for him. that he efiuld hardlv Ulicve it; and lie said iraiit, out of his desolate lon?ln? I wi-h I could ha' seen how she hH.ki-d." " 1 tlnn't muumisc lolks would ha' snid she was much to look at." His father smke in a mudiio; sort of way. " She was a little pale slip of a woman," with soft yellow hair droopin about lux white fair, and eyes as lilue as them blue Mowt you picked up alon? the road. Hut there. I can't talk about her, and I aiut a ?otu' to, w hat's more ; and don't J oii ever ak me airaiu : From that time Jack never dared to ak anv more question about his mother, hut all throujrh his troublesome, turbulent Imyhood lie reineinbenil the meajrre ollt- . .

No matter how "bad he had Iniii throii'di the day. the ni-'htu wen few when In failed to think how once a pale slip of a woluaii, with soft yellow hair around her white tare, and eves Hue as the blue jren tlans, had lout almvo his slumbers and said nravers for him. Vv'lwn he was ten years old his father dirxl in the iMmr-htiuse. Irink had enfee bled his constitution : a sudden cold did Uie rest. Then- wen- a few weeks of terri ble sunVriti''.and then theend came, .lack was with him to the hist. There wits nowhere cle fur hint to In, and the father likist to have him in his siht. One day, iwt In-fore tlie end. when they were alone, the man railed the lioy to his liedside. "I ciin't tell von to follow mv exam pie, .lack : that's the shame of it.

Jack had Imi-ii M-nt to I ml u little Ik Ion1, and when lie j,rt up in the inornin-r. lie knew that lie was all alone iu the world. After the funeral iH-acunSinall took hint home. 1 lc wouldn't'lie of miu h use for two or throe years to come, the deacon said.

Hut sunly .luck Kainsdale must huvo eaten niore'salt than ever Imy of ten ate N fore If he did not work for it. for It was Jack here and Jack there, all day lonr. Jack did every I mm ly's errands; Jack drew Mr". Small's liaby-jrrandcliild in its little covered wagon : Jack s-oured the kn'iM s; Jack brought the wood; Jack picknl Imtrics; Jac k weehtl flow t-r-ln-ds. From lcing an idle little chap, in even Ixnly's way, as he hud Is-eu in his father's' time, he was Iiressed right into hard scrvhv for more tours in the iLty than any man worked about tlie place. " Xow wink is jfood for iwiys.but all w ork and no play worse yet, all work and no love is no ?ood for uiiy one. Jack ";rcw hitter ; mid where he dared to be cruel, lie was cruel; when1 he iLm'd to lie insolent, he was insolent. Not toward Deacon Small, however, were these qualities displays!. T he deacon w as a liard master, and the Woy feantl. and hated and olieycd him. Hut as the years, went on. five of them, he jrrew to lie generally (oiisiden-l a IkuI hoy. At fifteen he vastrong of his a?e, a man, almost, iu size. His schooling; had Ufit confined to the short winter terms, and lie had always Iktii the terror of every suc'v.smvc schoolmaster. When he was tlfteey. a new teacher came a handsome, grai-rful young man, )ut out of collere. He wa 'slight rather than stout, w ll-dresed. well-mannered, lit. you would have said, for a lady's drawing-room rather than the country sclioolhoii.c in tvh.U r. with itj big boys, tough customers many of them, and Jack llumsdale tlie toughest customer of all. After Mr. (iarrisou had uisscd his examination, one of the committee, impressed by what lie thought a certain Hi ie-geiitlciiiaii air in the young man. warned him of the rough times in store for him. and in cicciul of tlie rmirh strength ami insubordination of Jack llumsdale. Halph iarrisou smiled a calm smile, Imt uttered no boasts. He had Isru a week in tlie school Ix fore he had any espivial trouble. Jack vas Uiklng his measure. The truth was, tlie Imv liiul a certain amount of taU and arrison'sgentlciiianlinesH hnpn-sed him more than he would have cared to own. It is possible that he might have gone on, ijuietly and oliedieittlv. b"f that now his IkuI name tn g;iii to wi-i;h him dow n. The tMiys w ho had looked up tohim as a leader in evil jrrew impatient of his quiet submis

And Jack ln'gau to tliiiik that the evil laurels he had won. as the bravo imd bully of the school, would fall withensl from bis brow if he didn't make some etlort ti fasten them. Si one morning, mid w av 1s t ween risi-s ami the c lose of school, he took out an - ile.md iM-g.ui panng it with a i.ii'k-kmle an! eating it. i or a iiionniu .ir. itarrion looked ut him; then heremarkisl. w ith ominous quietness, in a tone hover and more ifeiitle than ii-ual "Jack, this Is not the place or tune lor rating."

You wiJI luu up that apple instantly, if you jdcase. still the teacher spoke very gently, and turned a little pule. Tlie iersii:iive "words and the slight paleness misled Jack, lie thought his victory was to Is' so easily won then-wnuld not even lie any ?lory in it. He sniihsl and ate, unite at his a-e. "Coine here. sir. if you iilcu-e." said tlie teacher. Well, I don't p!eu-e to." said Jack flantly. " You will r-fime hen- whether you pleas or not," was the next sentence from tin teacher') desk. Jackcut oil another moutlifill mid Kit still. Then he never knew how it was, hut suddeul y. Iii the twinkling of an eve.

Mr. (iarrisou looked at him a few moment steadily. Then lie Kiid : " It docs sc'cni us if fate had Is-en hard on you. Hut do you know what I think (iod has Ixrn doing for you, in giving-yoii nil these hard knocks? for things don't htiviten ; i iod never let. ro tlie reins." 1 lie boy looked the question he did not speak, and Mr. tiarrison went on.

" is to do our Im'si; and if w e are doingthut iu God' sight, there is nothing that can pn'vail against u; not late, or foes, or poverty, or any ether creature. Then' is nothing: in all the universe that i strong enough to stand against a soul that is hound to go up mid not down. You mav go home now." It was one of Mr. Garrison's merits that he knew when to stop. Jack Ham-dale went home w ith that last sentcinr ringing in his ears There is nothing in ail the universe that Is strong enough to stand again-tii soul that is hound to go up and not down." The words went witli him all the rest of the itiy. Thev lay down with him at ni?ht.aiid lie looked out of Ids window and fixe I his eyes on a bright, far-off star, and thought of them. What if he should turn all the strength that was in him to goinr upaiul not dow n? If he did right, who could make him cfraid? If lie served willingly, he ne-d fear no master. It was verv late, and the star, obedient to tlie law w-Vu h rules the worlds, had marched far on. out of liis-lght.lN-t'on' lie went to sleep, lie had made a resolve. Ill the strength of that resolve he awoke to the new day. 'I will not ro dow ii," he said to himself; " I w ill go up and ui !" llcwii not all atone' transformed from sinner to paint.
