Fishing with Beardless Hook.


SOME months ago, business led me 10 an
out-ofthe-way place, where, near by fall
OF water, there lived two boys, one eight
and the other ten. They were bright
eyed, inquistive little Chaps, but generally
without either hat or shoes, and often with
pants and jacket sadly rent,
Busted as | was in the repairs of an old
mill, these boys were handy to send on
errands, bring tools, look after my horse
turned out TO bait in the road, and do
numberless little things to save the steps
of those who were older.
One day, on reaching the mill, / saw the
Oldest boy standing upon rock, partly
hidden by the foliage of the surrounding
trees, fishing, and as often as he felt a
nibble he would jerk his line as spitefully
out of the water as though he bore the
little fish some terrible grudge, and wanted
TO pay itby twitching their heads off. l
asked him why he did so, and explained
as well as | was able the best modes Of
taking such fish as made the little brook
their home.
After hearing me patiently and respect
fully, he said "Mister, you fish with
hook that has got beard on II, and when
you hook one he stays. My hook ha'n't
got any beard. It's an old broken one
that Liger Green gave me. ha'n't got
any money to buy q new one. Mother
wants the pennies you gave me, like to
fish, like to catch 'eln for mother, and
have to twitch 'em when tney bite, or they
will wiggle off, and shall lose EN-"
liked the talk of that boy. lie did not
grumble about his old hook, but did the
| best he could with what he had to do with;
and day after day, as | saw him doing it,
and taking to his mother the reward of
his toll which had cost him so much care
and thought and skill, knew that he was
laying with that alder rod in his hands the
! foundations of grand character.
i That Is the way Horace Greeley began
He fished awhile with Il bcardless hook.
His father was very poor, and he had
scarcely any books, and what be had he
was obliged to read by the dim light of
pine-knots which his own forethought had
gathered; but he is now one of the ablest
writers, as well as one of the most influ-
ential men in America.
And so with John Jacob Astor He had
no money, or comparatively none, when
he came to this country, but he wanted to
trade, and so he carried his little bundle of
goods around under his arm or in his
hands. He tishcd with q beardless hook.
Afterward he bought furs, and carried
them on his back hundreds of miles ia
market and when he died he had grown
from absolute poverty to be the richest
man in the country.
There is scarcely great man or good
man on this side of the Atlantic that did
not have tough time in his boyhood, did
not fish awhile with beardless hook anc
of all the boys now in the country, thost
only will arrive at eminence who do the
best they can with what they have to dC
with; never complain, but push cheerful
ly and resolutcly on in the path that lead
upward to noble and good and granC
manhood d-HedTM and Home.

The Little Slate.


"THERE, did mean to sew these but
tons on Frod.'s jacket before night,
have thought of it just in time, for he
must have 1t early in the morning. l do.
forget so many things have to do" said
Lucia Warren to good Aunt Patience,
who was visiting her for a day or two.
"You can wait few minutes for me,
can't you, aunty? | will not be longs"
and Lucia went to get her work, taking
off her gloves, and throwing back her
veil, 1t was troublesome to stop just as
she was going out, but the work must be
done, Indeed, it was nothing so very
unusual, as Lucia seemed always forget
ting things, as she said
"I will tell you an excellent plan have
followed for years" said Aunt Patience.
ut is that of keeping little slate with
pencil attached, hung up in some con-
venient place, and noting down ON it all
the things l wish to do. If you like,
we will buy such a slate while we are out,
and 1 win get you started in the same
system"
Lucia entered into the scheme with
great enthusiasm, and that night saw one
side of her little slate well covered with
items she wished to remember. She did
not attempt to classify them, but noted
them down in just the order she happened
to think of them. Aunt Patience
did not wish her TO undertake
too much at once. The classitica-
ton would come afterwards. The other
side of the slate had been reserved for to-
morrow's duties A regular plan was not
laid down for the whole deg, with the
hours set to them for aunty knew that
no house-mother could bring all the rest of
her household to time in such matters,
even if she could herself BY undertake
ing too much, young housekeepers are
often discouraged, and give up all efforts
at systematizing. II was the ground-plan
only of her work which was laid down,
but il helped her wonderfully all through
the day. 1t was such a satisfaction to
draw line through anything which had
been completed and then, by glanclng
| her eve down the list, she was sure not to
forget just the thing she ought most TO re-
member.
In time, the little slate came TO be re-
Rarded as one of the most useful articles OF
furniture about the house. 1t saved hours
of time and dollars of waste, besides add
ing fully third to the family cc;ntort and
convenience If you ara soeptical, hang
up one in your own home, and consult IL
as Lucia did, and do not doubt but you
will arrive at similar conclusion.
If the youthful reader will begin early
the practice of making memorandum OF
the duties to be performed each day, and
discharge those duties in their proper
season, a habit will be formed which VIII
prove of incalculable benefit in aster years.

Never Raise Child by the Hand or
Wrist.

1t is a common practice Of nurses and
parents to grasp children BY a single hand
or wrist, and lift them bodily, as in step
ping over cutters, streams, etc. Occasion
ally child is seized by the hands and
swung around with great force, the body
being held nearly at right angles. This
feat Is not always followed by immediate
i'll effects, bnt it is liable to result in most
serious injury. At this period Of life, the
ends of the long bones are united TO the
shafts by cartilage, which renders them
weak and very liable TO be distorted by
force. There are three of these bones in
the arm one between the shoulder and
elbow, and two between the elbow and
wrist The arm of the child is, therefore,
very weak When extension Is made at
he hand, the force is not expended upon
long, firm bones, but rather upon bones
broken at several points, and very loosely
united. A small force, far less than is re-
auired to fracture fully formed bone,
will separate the cartihglnous portions, or
permanently bend them. There is also
another form Of injury which may occur
at the instant. OF this have seen several
examples 1t consists in a slight displace-
ment of the cartilagcs in one of the joints,
either the wrist or elbow, attended by pain,
swelling. and tenderness. The joint is
fixed in senli-fexed position, and the
little sufferer win not allow IL 10 be moved
or even handled II eau be easily rectitied
by surgeon, by forcible fiexion and ex
tension. Finally, by lifting childin this
manner the ligamenls about the joints may
be extended, and this viii weaken thu

The MIlkman,s Donkey.

SOME forty years ago my husband spent
some months in Spain, and what he wit
messed and heard there quite revolution
lied his opinion of donkeys. When
habitually overloaded beaten and half
starved, they undoubtedly become vicious,
obstinate and stupid; just rs human beings
do under similar treatment But with
the peasantry of Spain the jackass is
petted favorite, almost an inmate of the
household. The women and children ot
the family feed him from their hands, and
talk caressingly to him. lie knows them
all, and loves them all. He will follow
his master, and come and go at his bid
ding, like faithful dog. He delights to
have the baby placed OH his back, and to
walk round with him gently on the green
sward. His intellect expands in the sun
shine of affection, and he that is quoted as
the stupidest of animals becomes sagaCiouS.
They told Mr.. Child of peasant in the
neighborhood, who had for many years
carried milk into the market of Madrid to
supply a set of customers. Every morn
ing he and his donkey, with panniers well
loaded, trudged their accustomed round
One morning, when he was attacked by
sudden illness, and had no one to send with
his milk, his wife advised him to trust the
faithful animal to go by himself, since he
always knew just where to stop. The
panniers were accordingly filled with can
listers of milk, and the priest ofthe village
wrote request to customers TO measure
their own milk and send back the empty
vessels. The donkey was instructed, and
set off with his load. The door bells in
Spain have rope hanging outside the
house to which is appended wooden
handle, or the hoof of some animal. The
donkey stopped before the house Of every
customer, and, after waiting what he
deemed sufficient time, he pulled the
rope with his mouth. When he had gone
the entire round, he trotted home with tho
empty canisters. He continued to do this
for several days, and never missed Gus
