DILIGENCE NOTICED.

A BOY was once walking along a dusty road. The sun was very warm and oppressive; but, as was his usual way, he stepped along quickly, thinking that the faster he walked the sooner he would reach the end of his journey. He soon heard a carriage coming, and, when it had come up to him, the driver reined in his horse, and kindly asked the boy to ride, which invitation he gladly accepted. When he was seated in the wagon, the gentleman, a good Quaker, said, "I noticed thee walking along briskly, and so asked thee to ride; but if I had seen thee walking lazily, I would not have done so by any means."—Morning Star.
