A PARLoR GAME-There are number
Of parlor games played by persons in each

tributed to magic. aud stem to have NJ
particular name. The selection Of object
which have been fixed upon by com
pany, by person VINO has been sent FROM
fhe room, is well known The questioqer
always names back object, or the name
Vt some particular class of objects, before
he asks the question to which the mag
clan" is expected to give an affirmative
ans Wer.
Que of the best of these games recently
came under our notice. Although very
simple indeed, it is not easily detected
and may be made to puzzle a company
for long time.
Two persons understand the game One

90 out of the room and [ will hand this
book Cor any other article) 20 some per
son, and he will name that person when
he returns"
The friend leaves the room slowly; til,
object is passed; he returns and correctly
names the person who received it, The
experiment is repeated again and agar
with the same result. Others think they
see the way in which the trick is man
ged, and are requested to leave the room
but on returning they usually guess
wrong
The magician, or the one first sent from
the room, understands that the obiec,
will always be passed to that member OF
the company who speaks last before he
closes the door, Youths Companion.

Our custom was to hang quite still till
we were up four Or five hundred feet. and
| then to begin our twining and twisting
and so did now, when Tom pitched awsy
the flags, and we went through our tricks
rising higher and higher, with the faces
of the dense crowd getting mixed into a
confused mass, and the strains OF the band
growing fainter and fainter, till all below
was quite mingled in a hum
We had only one more trick to do, aud
that was to cast loose the bar, and each
man swing by his own rope. I had ZOOS
ened my end, the perspiratIon steaming
down me the while, and Tom had done
the same, when, swinging round towards
me with horrible white face, he exclaim
ed, Ben, old man, I'm going to fall"
It's no use / couldn't tell you what I
felt then, if had tried ever so hard, only
that in half second I saw Tom lying u
horrible Crushed corpse far below; and |
felt so paralyzed that thought | should
have to let go my own and fall myself l
could act, though, and did, for in flash
had given myself jerk forward aud
throw myself against Tom, flnging my
legs round him and holding him tightly !;
and then, tired, as was, felt that had
double weight to sustain, for Toms rope
was swinging to and fro, and as my legs
chung round his body, his head hung
down, and knew he must have tainted.
How managed tn hold on can't tell
now. for though weak with all had
done, managed to give a h0arse cry for
help, ard the next moment heard a cry
of horror from the basket work car
Then felt the rope begn to jerk as
they began to haal US up, and | managed
to shrek out, No no -" for il they had
hauled any longer they must have jerked
poor Tom from my hold.
often ask myself whether it was half
an hour or only q few seconds before
saw big rope lowered with
u big running moose, and theu Pva
q misty notion OF having set my
teeth fast on .he rope, as felt dreadful
weight, as of load, dragging at me Then
| felt that it was all over, and knew that
had been the death OF poor Tom, for he
had seemed to fall, as telL the rope by
which hung jerk again violently. [ ST. "

and all seemed black and thick as night
When came to, was lying on my
back in the Car, with a man pouring bran

managed drag US both into the car; and
for the next hour we sat there shivering

the men in the car being silent, unner we'd

said before, very sorry I was, for it was

For the Evening Post.
MY LITTLA GIRL.

Have you seen her, Oh so fair,
With her wealth OF golden hair,
Through which played the morning rays
Till entangled in the maze,
There they nesting blde the whi'e,
With their Joyous beamlng sm4e
Lightning up each sunny curl
Have you seen my little girl
Should you meet her. you may trace
Where the gleeful bushes chase
One another Ger her cheek,
In and out. at hide and seek;
Or if startled. in ID group
Huddling there-the timis troop
They my little girl may show
With her features all aglow.
Should you hear her, you would know
From the happy, sparkling flow
OF her soft, sweet words, that start
From the pure springs OF Eer heart
And like rills OF music seem
In limpd, par ting stream
Ripping over teeth of pearl,
That it was nv little girl.

chimney is Il very small one the house /,

south the stove below stairs draws d.
Gently we'll, but the one above sraakes so
badly that the family cannot do anything
with it, while there is wood in it, ana
coal does not burn SO as to bake at all. or
cook very much. Does the wing stove
below make any difference with the draft
above? Will the stove draw better With
pipe running directly back TO the chim
ney, or with pipe running up four Of
i've feet above the stove +?
A chimney fue should be small at tn
base, and increase Ia size at the top, s.
as to secure draft The stove pipe used
should be smaller than the chimney flue /;
your pipe may run too far into the chm
ney !; or it or the flue may b. filled up; or
the chimney may not be high enough

SHIPS ON THE SEA.
BY TOM HOOD

I launched shallop on the sea,
wrote ambition round the PROV,
It spread before the breezes free
White broke the wave beneath the bow.
The calm gray cloud of early morn,
Was heck'd and bard with golden cloud
AS onward that small bark was borne,
While fresh ming hreezes shrill'd the shroud
But ere the sun mid heaven clomb,
The storln-Wrack mounted up the sky,
The mad'ning sea grew pale with foam,
While lurid lightnings leapt on high.
Back, back my little boat was driven,
The cordage reft, the canvas rent,
'Till on the shore it's timbers riven
The breakers scattered as they spent.
And yet another tiny boat ..... --
ventured on the hungry brine:
And slope" about the prov I wrote.
twas launched at EVENINGS dim decline.
hung lantern on the mast,
A gloW-Worm spark which family burn'd
That by the slender ray it cast
Ny shallop's course might be discerned.
Night closed around the fated bark ;
saw the cleaning cresset drown
For IN the silence and the dark
Of middle night the Hope" went down.
And now sit upon the shore,
The jest of ali that wander there
And on the sand for evermore
write the single word "Despair."

A SAD STORY.

Among savage clan
OF cannibalish people,
A missionary man
Set up his modest steePle.
And there each day he would
Pursue his noble Iabors,
He told them to be good.
And babe them love their neighborf.
The cannibals, with grins,
Gave ear TO themes he treated,
They crossed their tawny shins,
And on their hams were seated.
ADd yet they were not lost,
That missiOnary's labOrs.
He taught them to his cost
The way to love their neighbors.
For one day, when for prayers
Those caunibals they met him,
They caught him uuawares-
They killed him and they ate him
They said they found him good
He'd practiced what he taught them.
And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them
And when they filled each nav,
They said, while they deplored him,
"They'd loved him-livs and raw
But, roasted, they adored him ~
