Once in Milwaukee, at ball, Il nice
young man refused to dance in the set
we were in because we were DOOR, He
was rich, or his father was. He thought
nothing Of eXpending five, ten, twenty,
or even fifty dollars a night treating hi~
companions. He was Il good fellow.
He was popular with girls and BOYS.
Years passed. One day blOated-faced
man called at our Western Office.
"DOn't you know me?"
''NO-and Yet we have met some
whereof
'Quite right. lknew you in AIilwaU-
zee. Times have changed since then.
You have grown rich-I am poor, and
no one cares for me now. I want some

"YOU are---, but how changed" :"
"Yes am he. And you will helpme,

"Have you a trade? ~

''NO one cares for you nOw-do you
care for yOurself?'
"DOn't ask me ~
''Where are your old friends-the
boys you were so popular with ?'
"Oh, they have gone to the devil; or
those who have not, have gone back on
me-qUit when I had no more money.
But tell me how you got this fine office.
When 1 knew you a few years ago you
were poor"
"Well, I'll tell you. What YOU in
vested in dissipation invested in books
pictures and machinery. While YOU
sqUandered, saved. While you didn't
care, did. When I cared for myself,
Others cared for me-"
"Well-I see it but can you give me

Pardon this diversion, but we ran into
thinking of old times, and have been
counting up our bOyish friends, to know
how many of them have succeeded, and
the result makes US sad.
We do wish the wOrkingmen would
be more careful of their eaTnings-they
would be so much happier-have better

kI..Ing with an Appetite.

THERE was certain religious society,
one of whose peculi0ritics was to greet
each other with kiss at their meetings.
Among them were Il young man and a
very pretty girl, whose lips probably,
As the poet hath IL, were like straw
berries half smotherCd in cream, and
when they met, they, of course, SalutCd
each other with the regeneration kiss.
After some weeks, at one OF the usual
meetings, q staid and venerable brother
said:
''That while they regarded kissing a.
very proper, it had been observed by
him, rs we'll rs some of the venerable
and unmarried sisters present, that the
young brother aud sister when they
met were in the habit of kissing with
rather too much Of an appetite, and they
thought with such young people whO
were net always considerate of the feel
ings Of the maiden sisters, that hereat-
ter the accustomed salutatiou might

create unpleasant feelings i'm the sOcie-

July last, the great festival OF Jugger-
naut was held, but there we're no priests
upon the platform Of the huge vehicle,
dancing and shouting, or hundreds ol
worshippers pulling at the rope, and
crazy devotees flinging themselves
beneath, the wheels. The crowd at.
taacted by the spectacle was small. The
car was dragged = short distance by
hired men and LEFT half in muddy
ditch, with the idols still in and the
flags flying. When the priests urged
the people to pull, the irrcvcrsnt popu-
lace cried out, "Why don't you come
down and pull yourselves ?" Nobody
was crushed; nobody hurt.

PRINTERS DEVILS.

Miss Piney w. Forsythe, who is a
practical printer herself, has the fol-
lowing happy and appropriate notice
OF so-called printers devils.
"a great many persons are in the
habit OF Looking upon and speaking Of
printers devils in Il manner that re-
fleets no credit to themselves. Those
same printers in nine cases out of ten,
are three times as well posted on the
issues of the day as the person who
speak lightly of them. There is ne
class Of boy ior whom we have more
profound res eet that well-behaved
printers devils. They know some-
thing and are practical which is more
than you can say of all classes of boys.
In that respect we place the boys who
work in printing office head and
sholders above most boys. Young wo-
man, before you again elivate that del
lcate nose at the approach of printers
devil, get some one who knows some
thing of history to tell you the men Of
some characters that were once prin-
aer's devils.

PUNIsHING CHILDREN,

In multitudes of cases parents make
hasty and furious and utterly ground
less charges against child Which has
so taken it aback that it could not make
a reply, aud this has been taken as 4
tact confession of guilt, and the next
question proposed in fury in, '.what
did you do it tor. ~ And the child be-
ing thus confused and more alarmed, 1,
eonnot assume presence of mind and
composure enough TO make denial,
aud as the only alternative, bursts in
to kind OF hysterleal crying. Many
parents are OF, such temperament that
when child cannot be induced to ut
ter word under scolding they utter
threats which are disgrace to civiliza-
tlon; We have heard them ourselves
from afiectionate induls ent and Chris
tan parents, "l'll knock yoI down
with a log of wood,' 'l'll break every
bone in your body" "I'll beat you
within an inch of your life," and other
similar bestialties of expression from
education and civilized minds; at least
that passed as such in the great world.
There Is one safe rule ofapplication in
the rel proof of children; speak so low
TO them that no third person ten feet
away could hear what was said. An
cry feeling is intensified by a loud ut
terance. Another good rule is, not to
rebuke them in the prsence OF a third
person, or il SO, let it be in a soft and
aHectonate zone. A third precaution
and it is not a minor one; wait few
hours il not until the next day, or bet
ter still in many cases, defer is until
the occasion is about to occur when the
tault might likely be reDeate ted Any
