A diaeaie break- Dg out in the college, drove him to hia father'a heme. Oae day he went into the orchard and tat dotrn to read aader a tree. He raised hia eye ft oan hia book and aaw an apple fall. That wasj a common thing. Millions ef people had seen apples fal*. Bat this yoong man was set to thinking. Wh»t made the apple fall 7 Not the wind it waa a qoiet day. Why, when the stem broke, did it not stay in tho air This thoatihtfal yeaog man did not stop thinking »boat the falling ef the apple nattl he had ditoevered the oaase that made the apple fall and that the same oauie keeps the moon and planets in their paths. This yenng man waa Sir Iraac Newton. Naw, let OS see what kind ef boy he waa. His father waa a yaeman or a farmer. He wai tent to school bnt " he waa always fall of tbe bcsineca he was bcrn for." When ether beyi were at play, he woald be aftor ' hia ewn work, call it what yoa like. He made water-wheels, models of milla and machines. Ha made a water clock from an old box, and fixed It to an index which moved as the sinking weed, floating on the water, fell B it hij father weald not hear of yenng I(aaodcing snob foolish thirgs. He mast farm. He was ta learn about wheat and grass lands, and to feed and sell sheep. So he was sent to the fields, and was asaally foand lying nnder a tree reading wlea he sheald have been with the cattle and the labarera. When lie waa sent to market, he permittod an eld servant to sell the sheep, while he went into a haylcft to work oat a mathemt.- tical problem. His father f cand that he could not make a farmer oat of him, so he let him devote himself to study, and he be- came a great phllotepher. Xheie waa in England a breed of very small early-haired degs, called King Charlea Spaniels, beoanse they were great taveritea ef the king. New- ton owned one ef tiiem, whom he called Dia- msnd. He waa very fond ef the little crea- ture, and waa oonttanally oareaaing it and atraking ia glcaay hair. One night he left hia library and in it thia little black Diamond. The dog jamped upon the table, evertorned the candle, and aet fire to papera upon which were fagorea that had coat hia master yeara of hard work. They were all deatroyed, â- â€¢ that when New- ton retaraed to Uaroem he found, in plaoe •f the papisra, aothing bnt aahes.

A Oonntei-Irritant' A physlciaa occasionally prodacei an ir- ritotlen in one part of the body in order to relieve an Irritatien ezlating in another part. Not unfreqnently a oountor irritant is as useful in a moral as it h in a phyaloal diaeasr. A aelf- willed yoang man, living in the Smth, and siok with intermittent fewer, sent for a physician, a nataraliaed Frenchman, who waa noted for in«l«ting upon litoral obediei-os to hia presoripdont. He came, inquired, prescribed, and lift two or three sorta of medioine, with minnto di- rections for taking them. The next day, a little before the time when the patient aheuld have ezperienoed a re- turn of the usual chill, the doctor rode up to the house, aad eataring asked hew the siok maa was. He found that the wilfnl young gentleooan had net taken a drop of the medicine, and that the chill, coming on earlier than the expeoted tlm?, had sent him to bed shaking with the aitue. The angry doctor atunped np to [.the pa- tient's room, stripped off the bod-clothea, gave him a aauurt whipping with a riding- whip, covered him np, and left him roaring w{th;j;ialn and vexation. A profuse perspiration followed, and neither the ague nor the doctor returned. Bnt the youog man, as Eoen as he got out, sued the doctor for asaanlt aad battery. At the trial the doctor pleaded his ewn case. " I enly did my duty," said he, "as a doctor. I had to preaorlbe, and when I found my preaorlptlen neglected, I bad to admlnlstor. It waa the crisis of the dlaeaae there waa net time to make a mustard plas- tor, and I therefore administered the only remedy whioh the time and oircnmBtancea admitted. I uaed a counter-irritant, and ito effect was beneficial to the patient's mind and body. The patient began to get well from that very hour. " I do promiae the court," he contioned, speaking in broken Eaglish so as ta intonil- fythe laughter, which already convulsed the judges, "thaf do ahtrge of aault and baUer is not true.
