HARRY's HORSE.

HARRY'S HORSE.
The baby lies in it's mothers arms,
Quiet, and pale, and thin;
But the little head is once more raised
As Harry comes bounding in.
A wooden horse in his hand he holds,
Dark gray with long black name,
And an eager, longing look lights up
The pale little face again.
"No baby dear, I will hold il close,
But I cannot give It to you;
I'm afraid you would let i fall, and break
My horse, 80 pretty and new."
But the pale little eager face still pleads,
Outstretchcd is the small hand still;
lie stands for moment, then holds it out,
"I'll lend it to the baby, l will"
That day is past, and he finds it again
Where the baby had thrown it aside;
Her coral red, with its silver bells,
Still fast to the bride tied.
There's a touch Of paint off the brigh,
green stick
And chip of the horses car;
But, Oh! not that to the boys blue oyc
Brings the quickly gathering tear.
And while Harry lives he will still be glad
That be lent her his horse that day;
For the baby has gone where never again
Can he ask with his toys to play.

CARELESS BUSINESS MEN.-It is impos.
sible for man to be careless in his business
affairs, or unmindful Of his business obliga-
tions without being weak or rotten in his
personal character. Show me man who
never pays his notes when they are due, and
who shuns the payment Of his bills when
possible, and does both things as habit,
and l will show you man whose morals
are beyond all question bad. We have had
illustrious examples Of this lack of business
exactness. We have bad great men whose
business habits were simply scandalous-
who never paid their bills unless urged or
worried, and who expended for their person.

could lay their hands upon. These delin-
quencies have been apologised for as among
the ecoentricities Of genius, or as the un-
mindfulness Of small affairs which naturally
attends all greatness Of intellect and intel.

easy with them altogether. ! could name

are atrociously dishonest. l care not how

Horrors Of War.

Since the creation of the world fourteen
thousand millions Of human beings have
fallen in the battles which man has waged
against his fellow creature-man. If this
amazing number Of men were to hold each
other by the hand At arms length, they
would extend over fourteen millions, five
hundred and eighty three thousand, three
hundred and thirty-three miles Of ground,
and would encircle the globe on which We
dwell six hundred and eight timesl II We
allow the weight Of a man to be on an av.
erage one cwt. (this is below the mark we
shall come to the conclusion that six mill.
ions, two hundred and fifty thousand tons
Of human flesh have been mangled, dis6g-
ured, gashed and trampled under foot The
calculation will appear more striking when
we state, that if only the forefngers Of ev.
cry one Of those fourteen thousand millions
Of human beings were to be held in straight
line, they would reach more than six thou
sand miles beyond the moon; and that If .
person were to undertake to count the mum.
Ter, allowing nineteen hours day, and sew
on days in week, at the rate Of six thou.
sand per hour, it would occupy that person
three hundred and thirty.six years. And,
awful is the consideration !! three hundred
and fifty thousand pipes Of human blood
have been split in battles! Who would not
exclaim with Bishop Hall, "Give me the
man who can devise how to save troops Of
men from killing, his name shall have room
in my calendar. There is more true honor
in civic garland for the preserving Of one
subject, than in laurel for the victory over
many enemies" Or, with Bishop Taylor,
IF men were only subject to Christ's law,
then could they never 60 to war with each
other. -.' Cd p,Jl.hrs fs i-a.l.

era, harpists and violinists- latter often
times mere boys The oft repeated visits oi
this latter class Of wandering musicians,
and in almost every instance by new trio,
naturally suggests the inquiry "where do
they al come FROM" the answer to which
makes up for u the basis Of this interesting
local. Those who give money 10 these mis-.
cradle wandering minstrels little dream that
they are helping to support great idle men
in luxury-that, in fact, the pennies gather.
ed up by these boys is the material out Of
which many adults build fortunes. These
Italian boys, as VIC have long known, and as
the Italian Chamber Of Deputies was reocnt.
ly informed by one Of its members, are the
victims Of an organized white slave trade.
Count Arrivabcne, the deputy who brought
the matter to the attention Of his official
colleagues, say that the company which
drives this traffic in boys has its headquar-
ters in Italy, and is engineered by an Italian,
and that its branches ramify to every part Of
the civilized globe. The same little min.
strels are met in almost every city in the
world by the traveler,-the fddlers and
harpists who plod our streets to-day being
discovered couple Of months hence in San
Francisco, or London, or in some one Of the
European capitals. They are forwarded
from place to place by the Company" in
accordance with the fluctuations Of the trade
and the apparent demand for street music.
The centre Of operations Of this slave-tra.
ding company in Italy, is on the Papal ter.
ritory. butclose to the Italian frontier, across
which agents are despatched into the poor
mountain districts Of the Modenese, Par.
mesan, and Bolognese Apennins, where
they are able to purchase for few crowns
children'from the age Of 7 to 8 up to that
of Is or l6. They are then hurried away
and trained in the art Of music, and then
organized and sent out to journey the world
over, in the care Of paid agents, who in this
country have their headquarters in Baxter
street, New York. In their travels they
go over regularly laid out routes, and are
forced to make full returns Of their proceeds
to their owners, who are making immense
fortunes by this vile and cruel traffic. The
children comprise boys and girls, and are
subject to the hardest treatment, and live in
the direst ignorance and immortality. The
Italian Benefcent Society Of Paris brings
up the subject we see, and are making efforts
to suppress this white slavery.
