That Little Lamb Again.

A BEAUTIFUL young damsel, who de-
lighted in the rare and euphoneous ap-
pellation of Mary, possessed a diminutive
creature of the genus lam kinus, whose
capillary appendage was as white as parti-
cles of CONCEALED moisture commonly call
ed snow. Everywhere that Mary pere-
grinated, the little quadruped was inclin-
ed to accompany her. He followed her to
the Literary Institution one day, pro-
ceeding diametrically opposed to the rules
thereof, for it melted the members of the
youthful generation to loud ordinations
and frolicsome infantile gambols, to see
one of the genus lam ki1us where only the
genus homo were accustomed to congTegate.
Then the pedagogue unanimously exclud-
ed and excommunicated him, but still he
fingered in the vicinity of those hallowed
precincts, in patient waiting until his WIS.,
ual organs were gladdened by the appear
ance of the aforesaid Mary. Then with
out delay he propelled himself rapidly to-
ward her, and trustingly laid his phreno-
logical developments upon the prolonga-
ton of her shoulder, as if to say: am
no longer faint-hearted. Who's afraid?
You will avert all threstening peril.

Baseball Statistics.

No less than sixteen kinds of balls are
IN use, from the regulation ball to the
children's or fancy ball, and prices vary
from SIS to IS cents dozen. Some half
dozen regular manufactures of base balls
alone, exist in this city, the largest produc-
ing just now seventy five dozen balls per
diem. The town of Natick, however, in
Massachusetts, is the greatest ball man
ufactory perhaps in the world, many hund-
reds Of people being employed in produc-
ing these articles, and it is not uncommon
for houses in this line of business to order
thence 5000 balls at time. Their man.
ufacture entails no thing of very special
interest, the inside being of wound rubber,
and the wrapping of wooden yarn, save
that the winding of the yarn around the
ball is principally done by men. One
would suppose from the nicely shaped
spheres women make when winding up
worsted, they would be most adapted to
this kind of work, bat it seems to require
certain amount of physical strength
which the weaker sex is not endowed with.
The cover of horse hide is put on entirely
by women. The total number of balls
made and sold in New York is immense,
one manufacturer alone having supplied
1872 600 balls last year. Perhaps the
United States will bat to pieces half a
million of balls this season. Bats from an
important business alone. They run
through dozen different varieties. 1t
sounds somewhat preposterous to think
of mills running all the year round, turn
ing out bats. As more bats are used than
balls, one can form some idea of the enorm-
Gus quantity ofmaterial consumed Orders
for all baseball implements are just now
at their hight, and the supply is barely up
to the demand-Neu York Times.

Aneedote Of Webster.

A CORRESPONDENT at Galveston, Texas,
sends the following to Harper's Monthly !:
In looking over notebook Of my
fathers written many years ago, l came
across an anecdote, which, if it has never
appeared in print before, is too good to be
lost. While John Branch, of North
Carolins, was General Jackson's Secretary
of the Navy, he, Tazwell, and Daniel
Webster were walking on the north bank
of the Potomac, at Washington Tazwell,
willing to amuse himself with Branch's
simplicity said, Branch, III bet you
ten-dollar hat that 1 can prove tnat you
are on the other side of the river"
"Done," said Branch"
"Wen,h said Tazwell, pointing to the
opposite shore, isn't that one side OF the
river%
"Yes."
aWell, isn't this Che other sids'"
"Yes.''
"Then as you are here are you not on
the other side?"
"Why, 1 declare" said poor Branch,
$50 it is! But here comes Webster. I'll
win back the hat from him."
Webster had Jagged behind, but now
came up, and Branch accosted him:
"Webster, I'll bet you a ten-dollar hat
that can prove that you are on the other
side of the river"
"Donep
"Well, isn't this one side9"
ayes"
"Well. isn't that the other side ~
"Yes, but am not on that side"
Branch hung his head, and submitted TO
the loss of the two hats as quietly as he
could.

Laughing Children.

GIVE me the boy or girl who smiles as
soon as the first rays of the morning sun
glance IN through the window, gay, happy
and kind. Such boy will be fit to make
up" into man-at least when cOntrasted
with sullen, morose, grabbed" fellow,
who snaps and snarls like a surly cur, or
growls and grunts like an untamable hye-
ma, from the moment he opens his red and
angry eyes till he is comforted " by his
breakfast Such girl, other things being
favorable, will be good material to aid in
gladdening some comfortable home, or to
refine, civiliZe, tame and humanize rude
brother, making him more gentle, affec-
tionate and.lovable.
1t is a feast to even look at such q Joy
inspiring gIrl, such woman-bud, and see
the smiles flowing, so to speak, from her
parted lips, displaying a set of clean, we'll
brushed teeth, looking almost the personi-
fication of beauty and goodness, singing,
and as merry as the birds, the
wide awake birds, that commenced their
morning concert long before the lazy
boys dreamed that the glorious sun was
approaching and about to pour whole
food of jOy-inspiring light and warmth
upon the earth. Such girl is like gen.
tie shower to the parched earth, bestowing
kind words, sweet smiles, and acts of
mercy to all around her-the Joy and light
of the household.
1t has been well said that "there are
two muscles to raise the upper lip, as in
laughing, and only one to draw it down /;
therefore we should laugh tl0ies to crying
once" There may be time for weeping,
and even for mourning and melancholy (;
yetcheerfulless, good nature and joy are far
more favorable to the health of the body
aud mind. Excessive grief often arrests
the action of the stomach, and produces
disease. The cheerful and hopeful are far
more healthy than the morose, the sour,
the fretful and the scolding mortals, who
never see the sunlight Of cheerfulness or
sociability, but who scowl and frown
look daggers," and feel Ztwo-edged swords,
toward all who dare to come with in reach
Of them.zOlICer Optics AqgaziHe

On TinneS

If tailors, boot-makers and tradesmen
generally did but know it, the public hold
punctuality in as high estimation as per-
feet fits. As there is nothing more annoy
ing than repeated delays after thing has
been promised, so there is nothing more
satisfactory to the customer than to be
served according to agreement Those
tradesmen make a mistake who habitually
promise what they know themselves they
cannot perform A purchaser, after being
disappointed two or three times, seeks
some other establishment. 1t has been
truly observed that men "who are habit
ually behind time are habitually behind
success" They are always losing custom
ers, never contrive to establish permanent
relations with buyers, and make no head
way, while others who are prompt and do
as they agree to do, extend the number of
their patrons, and acquire wealth An IN
quiry into the records of all successful
business men will show that. punctuality
has been one of their virtues. No one has
or can succeed without it, however supe-
rior their qualifications in other respects

Miscellaneous.
A May-day's Scene.

A LIVELY writer in New York maga
zine gives the following graphic descrip
ton of q Moving Scene:"
was thinking the other day, as l OBJ
served the preparations Of some of my
neighbors for moving, how fortunate
was in having house of my own, wherI
/ could dwell year after year, and laugh a
the troubles of my acquaintances who
were forced to pull up stakes annually
Moving day was nothing to me, l thought
and grew intensely selfish with the ides
that was so free from annoyance. But
in the midst of my cogitations the dool
bell rang, and the servant came back with
Mr.. Brown, Missus G-wants to borrow
your hammer. She is movin', and her
things are all peckedp
"Of course, was willing to oblige Mrs.
G., and made haste to send her my
hammer-a new one. Just after tea
another messenger came from neighbor
l., across the road. Neighbor l.
was moving, and desired to borrow MY ak
for an hour or so. The ak sent forthwith,
and then came a request from Mr.. c.:
Would Mr.. Brown be kind enough to
lend us scuttle or two of coal? We're
moving, and all our coal is barreled upl'
This request was somewhat singular, but,
ing more than to give orders to let Mr..
c. have what he wanted. Yesterday
morning tatered urchin stopped me, as
was passing out of my door on my way
down street, with the request: Ma wants
to know if you will lend her a piece of
soap? We're going to move, and everything
is packed upp Without stopping to ask
who Ma was, 1 gave him the soap, and
left. At dinner-time went home, and
was at at once struck with the empty ap-
pearance of the dining-room- Where are
the chairsg asked. 'Ohl Jones's folks
are moving ? replied my wife. The chairs
are all at the other house, and they wanted
to borrow three or four to sit down to din
ner.' Now, there is nothing like being
obGging, if you have to stand up to meals
yourself, so long as you can accommodate
your neighbors; so l said nothing, but
stepped into on adjoining room, brought
out another chair, and sat down to the Ia
bic. A little sugar, if you pleasep as l
slipped my coffee. There, nowl' said
Kate, Il lent Mrs. rs girl the last
there was in the house. Mrs. T is
moving, and - That's enough; bring
me glass of waterP Our glasses are all
out, Mr.. Brown, said Kate; Mrs G.
has got company, and all her things are
packed, so T. Albright ? L interrupt
ed, bound to keep my temper, anyhow
We will lend Mrs. G. the house, if
she wants it!' At this point Harry burst
into the room with, Ma, Tom Smiths
mother wants to know if you will let Kate
come overand help this afternoon? Toms
folks are getting ready to novel
Ma'am, will you please be so kind as
to lend me a pint of milk said a voice at |
the window; we're movingl' The |
milk was served out, and we were about |
turning out attention again to the meal, |
when the bell rang, and Mr.. and Mrs. |
W, with seven children, walked in. |
Why, Mrs. Brown, how do you do? We |
are going to move this afternoon, and we
thought We would just run in and see if |
you couldn't lend us our dinnerr"

Then the mother, turning to her boy,

Then the mother, turning to her boy
"Georgie, mamma is going to pray"
Instantly the boy closed his eyes, and
folded his hands across his breast And
the mother repeated, in slow and earnest
words:
"Oh, thou Father of the orphan, and the
child"
There was quite pause before the little
fellow opened his eyes and unfolded his
hands Then he extended them to his
mother, and clung to her with all his
strength, refusing TO be removed from her
Those words had brought back recollec-
ton, and all was with him as if he had
never been separated from that parent.
The justice held up the paper, and his
utteTance was choked as he said:
:" Mrs. Avery wrote upon this slip Just
what the boy would do when she spoke of
prayer. He has done it. The child be-
longs to her."
There were few dry eyes in that court
room, and while the true mother smiled
again with joy, the kdnappers were thor
oughly crushed They skunk from the
place, and to avoid further investigation,
they left the city, and all trace of them
was lost.
But the whole facts of the case after
ward transpired. Mrs. Bradley had mar
ried against her fathers wishes, and that
father had sworn a solemn oath that he
would disinherit her. After a time he
relented, but would not break his oath.
And to whip the devil around the
stump" he had made provisions that the
first child should have very large annual
income, and at his own death that child
was to receive a splendid fortune. But
eleven years had passed since the mar
riage, and still the woman was without an
heir. The husband and wife visited
Europe, and were gone three years. Dur
ing this absence they had sent word home
that the old gentleman was grandfather.
This was not the case, but one of power
ty's children of the suitable age, had been
adopted by them, and was to be palmed off !
as their own. This was necessary, for |
poverty was staring them in the face, and |
only the will of her father would enable |
them still to live in affluence.
On the passage over from England, the |
child died. 1t became necessary for them |
to find another, and on the very day of |
their arrival, they had stolen that of Mrs. |
Avery.
This is a strange world, and events |
stronger than anything in fiction are oc- |
curing every day all around US.

THE largest paper in the world is said
to be the Hereford (Englald) Times, es-
tablished in 1882. 1t is published weekly,
consists of two sheets, each consisting OF
eig ht pages, each page Of seven columns
the columns being longer than those OF
the London Times, and each page con-
tains one more column than page of the
Times. In addition, a railway table OF
seven columns is published every month,
and given away with the newspaper, the
price of the whole being three and half
cents. A notable feature is the indices-
one index referring to every department
of news and advertisement, and the other
referring to the auction advertisements '

SEVENTY THOUSAND letters, filing one
hundred and fifty sacks, and weighing
nearly eleven hundred pounds, were re-
Gently mailed from the city of New York
to various foreign lands within the space
of two days. This statement will give
some idea of the immensity of the postal
business in that city. 1t is also estimated
that between one hundred and twenty and
one hundred and fifty tons of mail matter
are, on the average, handled every day by
the eight hundred post-of6ce employees
and that not less than 100000 letters, and
often much larger number of newspa-
pers, are sorted out by them during each
twenty-fo hours. From two to five
hundred unstamped, misdirected, unad-
dressed or unsealed letters and packages
daily accumulate in the New York Post
Office.
