WShamel for shameln

"Shamel for shamel'
'To treat a deformed child sol"
'Why can't you look, man, at what
you're treading upon?"
Such we're few of the calculations
poured out by a group of men, on the
outskirts of a crowd assembled to wit
ness a grand exhibition of fireworks, on
the eve Of the Fourth of July. The
first speaker had picked up from the
dusty grass a child, who had accidentally
beeR knocked down in the general
crowding and jostling, and who now lay
| apparently senseless in his arms.
"Who is it2-what is it?n inquired
one and another.

It's they couldn't have kept him out Of

and banged about, till [ am not sure
whether there is any life left in him"
"Bring him here, sir! exclaimed an
elegantly dressed lady, whose carriage
had been driven Just outside of the ring
which enciroled the crowd.
ooh, mammal he is dead the poor
boy!" cried the youngest of her chill
dren, with tears in her plying blue eyes.
Just as well if he were, said anoth-
er lady in the carriage, 'It is cruel
kindness to let such a deformed child
live to grow up.
"Hush sister" returned the first la

child probably has q mother to love him,

"You are a strange child, Lillal Look

But the blazing rockets had lost half
their attraction for Lila; and when her
mother proposed leaving them for few
minutes, to take the deformed boy home,
as his arm was very painful, she consent

again, sister Winstan, said the aunt,
disdainfully; "you are always picking
up some object of distress to shock my

and eye-lids trembled, though he lay
perfectly still on the cushions. Hugh

How to toll tbe 80 Of Ladies.

Of course all our readers are aware to
ask a lady her age, is equivalent 10 a
direct declaration Of war. We have al
ways looked upon it as such, still we
have felt an irresistible desire TO know
the ages Of some young ladies, but bless
their dear souls, we would not ask them
for the world. We have at length come
across a method by which the sweet ones
may be made to divulge the great secret,
without knowing what they are about,
and thus young gentlemen can at once
learn whether they are paying their de-
voirs to seventeen or thirty. The fol-
lowing table will do it, just hand this
table to the lady and request her to tell
you in which column her age is con-
tanned. Add together the figures at the
top Of the columns in which the age is
found, and you have the great secret
Thus suppose her age to be seventeen.
You will find the number seventeen on
ly in two columns, viz: the first and
fifth, and the 6rst figures at the head Of
these columns make seventeen. Here

TIE POOR MANs BOOK.

BY GEORGE W. nUNGAY.
The Winds have blown the smoke gwnyi
Cold is the forge and hushed the mill,
The toil-woru cotter rests to-day,
Traffic Is mute, and labor still.
The embarrassed mule feeds on the green,
The weary OK rests In the shade;
A holy calm pervades the scene,
Light udiates from hill aud glade.
Gay flowers which light the vernal sod,
Like drops Of sunshine from the sky,
Bow their fair heads to worship God,
And send their fragrant praise on high.
Beneath his own fg-tree and vine,
Beside the lowly cottage door,
The good man reads the precious line
or promise 70 the humble poor.
The Bible Is the poor mans law,
A blessed boon 20 morials given,
A ladder such as Jacob saw,
With angels coming down from heaven.

Unhappy Homes.


Small matters are often needlessly
made subjects Of daily comment and
blame; and in the end it comes that
home is sometimes anything but the
happy place we choose to make it out
in songs aud fcttons of various kinds.
This, when it occurs, is a great pity.
am for making home very happy to
children, if it can be managed; which.
of course, is not to be made by weak
OOmpiiances, and having no fixed rules.
For no creature is happy, or even free,
as Goethe has pointed out, except in the
circuit of law. But, once having laid
down laws and regulations, all within
those bounds should be very kind at
home.
Now listen to the captious, querulous
scOldings that you may hear, even as
you go along the streets, addressed by
parents to children; is it not manifest
that In after-life there will be too much
fear in the children's minds, and be-
lief that their father and mother never
will sympathize with them as others
even might-uever will forgive them ?
People Of all classes, high and low, err
in the same way; and in looking about
the world, / have sometimes thought
that a Thoroughly judieious father Is one
Of the rarest creatures to be met tgith.

INTUITIONs OF WONAN.--The iatui-
tiUe Judgments Of tgomen are often more
to be relied upon than the conclusions
which we reach by an elaborate pro-
cess Of reasoning. No man that has an
intelligent wife, or who is accustomed
to the society Of educated women, will
dispute this. Times without number
you must have known them decide ques-
tiOns on the instant, and with unerring
accuracy, which you had been poriug
over for hours, perhaps, with no other
result that tofnd yourself getting deep
er and deeper into che tangled maze Of
doubts and difficulties. 1t were hardly
generous to allege that they achieve
these feats less by reasoning than by q
sort of sagaoity which approximates to
the sure instinct Of the animal races;
and yet there seems to be some ground
for the remark Of witty French Wri-
ter, that, when man has toiled, step by
step, up a flight of stairs, he will be
sure to find a woman at the top; but she
will not be able to tell h0J0 she got there.
How she got there, however, is Of little
moment. If the conclusions a woman
has reached are sound, that is all that
concerns u.s. And that they are very
apt to be sound on the practical matters
OF domestic and secular life, nothing
but prejudice or self-eonceit can pre-
vent us from acknowledging The In
ference, therefore, is unavoidable, that
the man who thinks it beneath his dig
nifty to take counsel with an intelligent
wife stands in his own light, and betrays
that lack Of judgment which he tacitly
attributes TO her.

New Game.

Godey's Lady's Book has the last
new "social game" Here it is;
A small piece of stick is lighted at
one end, and the blaze is blown out,
leaving the sparks It is then passed
from one of the company to the next on
his right hand, and so on round the
circle, each one saying, as he hands it
to his neighbor, "Jaek's alive" The
player who holds the stick when the last
spark dies out must consent to have a
delicate moustache painted on his face
with the charred end Of the stick, which
is then re lighted, and the game goes
on. Should the wearer of the NOUS
tache have Jack die second time on
his hands, an imperial, whiskers, or
large eyebrows may be added to his
charms. While Jack is in a lively con-
ditiou, with his spark in fne, brilliant
order, he is passed oarelessly from one
player to another; but when he shows
symptoms of dying, it is amusing to see
how rapidly he changes hands, for each
player is bound to receive him as soon
as his neighbor pronounces "Jaek's s
alive" In case the moustache decOra-
tions are objected to, forfeit may be
paid instead, by those who hold Jack
dead"
