The following specimen of boys letter,
from an English Comic Annual, is one of
the richest things of the kind we have ever
seen. There is such truth of character
in it-so much Of that spirit of drollery,
mixed with mischief, which often prevails
in the young rogues of the male sex, that
one cannot help declaring it to be, in it's own
words, ''capital fun" The epistle is sent
by country boy to what cockney would
call his friend in town:
'Now Bob, I'll tell you what I want I
want you to come down here for the holi-
days. Don't be afraid. Ask your sister to
ask your mother to ask your father to let
you come. It's only ninety miles. The
two 'prentices, George and Will, are here
to be made farmers of; and brother Nick
is took home from school to help in agricul-
ture. We like farming very much, it's
capital fun. Us four have got gun and
60 out shooting; it's famous good gun
and sure not to 60 off if you don't full cock
it. Tiger is to be our shooting dog, as he
has left off killing the sheep. He's real
savage, and worries cats beautiful. Before
father comes down we mean to bait our bull
with him. There's plenty of new rivers
about, and we're going fishing as soon as
we've mended our top joint. We've pony
too, to ride upon, when we can catch him;
but he's loose in the paddock He has
neither name nor tail to signify, to lay hold
of. Isn't it fine, Bob? You must come
If your mother won't give you leave-run
away. Remember you turn up Grosswell
street to, 60 to Lincolnshire, and ask for
Middleton Hall. There's o pond full of
frogs, but We won't pelt them till you come;
but let it be before Sunday, as there's our
own orchard to rob, and the fruits to be
gathered on Monday. If you like sucking
raw eggs, We know where the hens lay, and
mother don't; and I'm bound there's lots
Of birds nests. Do come, Bob, and I'll
show you the wasps' nests, and everything
that can make you comfortable. I dare
say you could borrow your fathers volun-
teer musket of him without him knowing
it; but be sure anyhow to bring the ram
rod, as we've mislaid ours by firing it off,

q Sc THE PEN,
By J. Z. CARPENTER.

BY J. z. CARPENTER.
Use the Pen-there's magic in it,
Never let it lag behind;
Write thy thought, the pen can win it
From the chaos Of the mind.
Many gem is lost forever
By the careless passer by;
But the gems of thought should never
On the mental pathway lie.
Use the Pen-reck not that others
Take higher fight than thine;
Many an ocean cave still smothers
Pearls of price beneath the brine;
But the diver finds the treasure,
And the gem to light is brought
So, thy minds unbounded measure
May give up some pearl of thought.
Use the Pen-the days departed
When the sword alone he'd sway,
Welded by the lion-hearted,
Strong in battle! where are they1
All unknown the deeds of glory
Done Of old by mighty men,
Save the few who live in story,
Chronicled by sage's pen.
Use the Pen-the sun above us,
By whose aid the chemists art
Stamps the forms of those who love us
Showing us their counterpart
Cannot hold higher power
Than within the Pen enshrined,
When, with wisdom for its dover,
1t daguerreotypes the mind.
Use the Pen-but let it never
SANDER truth with death-black ink:
Let it be thy best endeavor
But to write what good men think;
So thy words and thoughts, securing
Honest praise from learning's tongue,
May in time be as enduring
As the strains which Homer sung.

BS A Western editor thus sums the De-

culiarities of contemporary
"He is too lazy to earn a meal and too
mean to enjoy one. He never was generous
but once, and that was when he gave the
itch to an apprentice boy. So much for
his goodness of heart! Of his industry, he
says the public may judge, when he states
that the only time he worked, was the day
that he mistook castor oil for honey.

AN ELOQUENT FIGURE.-The Mecklenburp
Jeffersonian says: Like one of those won
drous rocking stones reared by the Druids,
which the finger of child might vibrate to
the centre, yet the might of an army could
not move from its place, our Constitution is
SO nicely balanced that it seems to sway
with every breath of opinion, yet SO firmly
rooted in the hearts and affections of the
people, that the widest storms of treason
and fanaticism break over it in vain.

Dow JR's. FAITH.-I believe that kicking
against custom, and splitting in the face of
fashion, is futile and foolish endeayor.
Both may need correction-but they must
and will have their own way.
1 believe that if the devil be the father of
liars, he has plagued large family to look
after, and that is rapidly increasing.
l believe girls are like kittens; gently
smooth them down the right way, they rub
and purr most affectionately; but give
them the contrary brush, and their back is
up in the most disdainful manner. Thew
like to be kissed, but sham delicacy about
the operation.
l believe that simple honesty, the naked
truth, pure virtue, and straight up and
down way of dealing with the world, have
as much advantage over the vices tricks
and stratagems of the devilish, in the long
run, as good square-trotting horse has
over prancing pony or racker that goes
his mile or two like the mischief, and is
done for the rest of the journey.

A MODERN BELLE.-" Love in a cottape
indeed" said Lauretta one day to one of
her admirers, sentimental swain. sI do
not fancy the picture. A cottage always
reminds me of pigs, and poultry, and dirty
children, and sluttish women, and coats ont
at the elbows, and broken windows patched
with paper, or stopped with old hats-that
hold IN utter abomination. Give me an
elegant suficiency-a handsome house in
the city, splendidly furnished in the most
fashionable style-a dashing equipage-a
well-hlled casket of Jewels circle of gay
and fashionable acquaintances- wealthy
and indulgent husband-and then-perhaps
Il might think of love" ."-Boston Journal.

A BEAR SToRY.-The following item of
intelligence is so very old that tits probably
new to the present generation. The New
London Comm Gazette of February IA,
1922, says:
GA very odd kind of providence hap
pened lately in our neighborhood, viz: Mr..
Zebulon Stanhope, farmer, living N. E.
oy N. from this township, having trained
up couple of large bears to the plough and
other services, clapped them before his sled
last week, with twenty shipples of wheat,
for the new city. The animals drew ex-
tremely well for four miles and a half, when
the halter giving way, the farmer set about
repairing it; but whilst thus employed, the
inhuman brute, seizing him by the right
leg, tore it miserably, and both bears pulling
at once ran away with the sled; SO that with
the utmost difficulty he got home in four
hours on foot. Messengers were dispatched
to look for the sled and cargo; two days
being spent in fruitless search, they were
given up for lost; but on the third, at noon.
the noise of carriage near the house was
heard, and young Cad Stanhepe jumped up
to see who was coming, when he beheld, to
his great astonishment, the two bears draw
ing the sled into the barn, with no earthly
thing in it except four large bears and three
cubs The lad and two men that happened
to be then in the house ran nimbly and shut
the barn door, and with long gun shot
them all through crevice."
