A Good Hit for a Youth.

An old chap in Connecticut who was one of
the most niggardly men known in that part of
the country, carried on the blacksmithing bu-
siness very extensively, and is generally
the case in that State, boarded all his own
what they ate he would have bowl of bean
soup dished up for himself to cool while that
of the hands was set before them boiling hot.
One of the boys was rather unlucky among the
hot irons frequently burning his fingers. The
old man scolded him very severely one day
for being so careless.
GLOW can l tell,' said the boy, ssif they are
hot unless they are red!''
SsNever touch anything again until yon spit
on il and if it don't hiss it won't burn.
In day or two the old man sent the boy to
see if his soup was cool. The boy went in
spit in the bowl; of course the soup did not
hiss. lie went back and told the boys all was
right.
DINNER" cried he.
All hands ran down sat the man at the head
of the table, and in went a large spoonful of
the boiling soup to his mouth.
ssGood Heavens - cried the old man, in
rage, s.what did you tell me that lie for, you
young rascal 20
81 did not lie, sir" said the boy, s.You told
me should spit on everything to try if it was
hot spit in your bowl, and the soup did not
hiss, so L supposed it was cool.''
Judge of the effects on the journeymen.-
That boy was never in want of a friend among
the journeymen.

The note was duly honored, and after that

THE DEAD.


The dead alone are great?
While heavenly plants abide on earth,
The soil Is one of dewiess dearth;
But when they die, morning shower
Comes down and makes their memories flower
With odors sweet, though late.
The dead alone fair
While they with Us, strange lines play
Before our eyes, and chase away
Gods light but let them pale and die,
And swell the stores of memory
There is no envy there.
The dead alone are dear
While they are here, long shadows fall
From our own forms, and darken all
But when they leave us, all the shade
Is round our own sad footsteps made
And they are bright and clear.
The dead alone are blest
While they are here clouds mar the day,
And bitter snow-falls nip their May
But when the tempest time is done,
The light and heat of Heavent own sun
Broods on their lands of rest.

The Shadow Of Life.
All that live must die,

All that live must die,
Passing through Nature to Eternity"
Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the dark shadow falls across their
own path, hiding forever from their eyes the
face of the loved one whose living smile was
the sunlight of their existence. Death is the
great antagonism of Life; and the cold thought
of the tomb is the skeleton in all our feasts.
We do not want to go through the dark valley.
although its passage may lead to paradise;
and, with Charles Lamb, we do not wish to lie
down in the mouldy grave even with kings and
princes for our bedfellows. But the fiat of Ma
ture inexorable. There is no appeal re-
prieve from the great Law that dooms us all
to dust. We flourish and fade like the leaves
of the forest and the frailest flower, that blooms
and withers in a day has not a frazier hold on
life than the mightiest monarch that has ever
shook the earth by his footsteps. Genera
tions of men appear and vanish like the grass;
and the countless mutitudes that swarm the
world to-day will tomorrow disappear like
footprints on the shore;
Soon the rising tide shall beat,
Each trace viii vanish from the sand
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct
of Immortality so eloqucntly uttered by the
death-dcroted Greek findsa deep response in
every thoughtful soul. 1t is Natures prophe-
cy of the life to come. When abou: to yield
his young existence as a sacrifice to Fate, his
bethrothed CienanthG asks if they shall not
meet again. To which he replies: g have
asked that dreadful question of the hills that
look eternal; Of the flowing streams that lu-
cid flow forever: of the stars amid whose fields
of azure my raised spirit has walked in glory.
All. all were dumb. But while l gaze upon
thy living face l feel there's something in the
love which mantles through its beauty that
cannot wholly perish. WE SHALL MEET AGAIN

mr. Clapp's Soliloquy.

Another girl What can Mrs. Clapp be
thinking of! It,spcrfectly ridiculous! There's
four of them now, and that's four more than is
necessary. / don't believe in girls,-loYers
and lacet, ringlets and romances, jewelry and
jump-ropes, silk and satins. What's to be
done? There's whole chest full of my old
coats I've been saving to make my boys jack
cts. wish Mrs. Clapp would think as do.
Another girl! Who's to keep the name in
the family, I'd like to know? 1 shall be ex-
tinct! And now she wants me to put up a
note in the church for ssblessings received.''
Mrs. Clapp has very obstinate streak in
her disposition in this respect. It's wasting
powder to reason with her. 1t seems to go in
to one ear and out at the other. If she gets
going on one particular track, you must just
fold your arms and let her take her time to
get off it. She knows prefer boys,-that Wo-
man does,-just as well as she knows her name
is Hetty. Well, there's limit to human pa
tience. It's no use for man to pretent to be
master of his own house when he is'nt.-Fan-

81 declare, 'tis provoking-I'm in perfect
rage-I'll pay them in their own coin-cool as
an ice in dog days. shall remember them
the naughty minxes and brainless fops," Ara
bella Bantem petulantly exclaimed, entering
the room where her mother and sister sat at
work. She had just returned from her usual
afternoon promenade upon Washington street,
where, to Judge by her manner, she had been
terribly crossed.
Eiinging her bonnet and shawl careleSsly
upon an ottoman, she threw herself upon
sofa and she gave still further vent to her an
ger.
ssWhat is the matter, dear ?'' inquired her
mother, looking up from her work .'what has
excited you ?''
s.Matter. matter enough. It's all owing to
pa. He is either so stingy, lazy, gets
cheated, that he never has any money. Be-
cause he refused me reasonable allowance I
was unable to procure what dresses wished,
and when l went out this afternoon, l found
that all my acquaintances had dashed out in
their Spring fashions, while l made poor
show, What was the consequence Several
fmy most intimate friends did not notice me,
and those young fops who are always so atten-
tive to me when invited to our soirees, they
bent their heads down to those pert misses at
their sides, or nodded to some one on the
other side of the street; several shall not
forget them-gazed me full in the face, with
out the least show of recognition; oh, it is
enough to make me wish 1 was man ~
Here her feelings were so wrought up that
she actually burst into tears.
ssArabella, DEAR said her mother, sooth-
ingly, sscalm your excited feelings. am con-
fdent you will be able to eclipse them one of
these days"
"I presume so, during the millennium she
said, bitterly.
The shove conversation took place in the
sitting groom Of pretentious dwelling-house
situated in quiet, respectable street at the
western part of the city, owned and occupied
by Henry Bantem, Esq, ssgrocer in a small
way" as Dickens would have it. The Esq.
was attached to his name by several customers
10 whom he allowed unlimited credit He
was man that reminded one of the fable OF
the frog and bull ; making as lofty pretensions
as his more aristocratic neighbors. Once lis
fening to the voice of the tempter he invested
the greater part of his available property in
certain railroad shares, when they were far
below par value. 1t was bad speculation for
him so far, for like the mercury in barome-
ter before gale, it gradually fell lower and
lower till it was almost worthless.
While Afabella was saturating her handker-
chief with tears, Mr.. Baniem, flushed and ex-
cited, rushed uneeremoniously into the house,
to the CONSERVATION of his family.
"What has happened a'' exclaimed his wife,
in alarm, starting from her seat.
ssStocks up-I've made fifty thousand dol
lars - was his breathless answer.
