" No Monkey, No Photograph"

JOHNNY, the darling of the house, was
going to have his likeness taken A pic
tire of Johnny on his third birthday was
demanded by friends and neighbors all
around us; and so Johnny was to stand
with his dog Fan for picture that was to
delight all hearts. -. .-ft
Mother and aunties took careful coun-
Gil together about his dtess as for Fan,
all she needed was a new collar, and that
having been purchased, and Johnny
dainty arrayed, three of them escorted
the twain to the artists with much pride
and satisfaction. Punctual to his appoint
ment, the artist was waiting for Johnny,
and he and Fan were placed In position,
with all the cautions that we usually give
to children who are about to stand for
their photographs, -.e.sE .-..sE
AS the artist was preparing TO take his
last SURVEY, before removing the cloth
for the picture, he said, with a signifi,
cant glance at his escort, which did not
escape our watchful little johnny
"Look steadily at this spot on the wall,
and monkey will come out"
Next to dogs Johnny delights in mon
keys his black eyes sparkled and fairly
danced as he waited eagerly, while the
artist took another careful and satisfied
survey. A picture of Johnny as he looked
then would have been priceless treas
tire. ..r
When all was ready at last, and mother
and aunties hoped that Johnny would
neither movenor tire, and Just as the artist
was about TO uncover the camera, Johnny
asked, in his decided way" Where's the
monkey want to see the monkey"
Yes, yes," said the astonished artist,
who had promised hundreds of children
a sight of that monkey, and never been
called upon to produce it before by
and by, you shall see the monkey"
But" insisted Johnny, "want to see
monkey first, Johnny did look, monkey
didn't come"
The artist hesitated, Johnny looked
! from one to another of the astonished
group in his keen, searching way; in an
instant, he seemed to realize that the
artist had been trying to deceive him; and
then, with an air of determination that
made mother and aunts tremble for the
success of the picture, Johnny sat down
upon the floor beside Fan, put his arms
around her neck; and said, az tel yOu ,rhG
1T as, Fan : no monkey, no photograph :" and
| Johnny kept his word.
Twenty times at least, during the fol
| lowing hour, did mother, and aunts, and
artist try to persuade Johnny to resume
his position, but Johnny was firm he
insisted upon seeing the monkey first, ant
as there was no monkey to show him, hi
came off conqueror.
Three sadder and wiser women escorted
Johnny sorrowfully home, but not one O
them could speak word of reproof t.
Johnny, for in their hearts they admired
and respected the spirit he had shown.
When Johnny's grandma heard th'
story she said in her uIliet way 90 Tha
shows the folly of trying to deceive chill
dren; Johnny has learned his first lessol
in falsehood to-day. l hope this ma,
prove lesson for you all;n and it was
one they will never forget. et.-Chsfstio'

A Negro Boy Cruelty Tortured.

A FEW days since there came here from
Hawley, Pa, on one of the Erie freight
trains, negro boy about thirteen years
old. By his quaint and amusing actions
he became, quite favorite among the
railroad men, and they bought boot
blacks outfit for him, and started him in
business" He was altogether harmless,
and gave no one cause for enmity against
him, at least such enmity as the sequel
will show existed. On Saturday night
after the departure of No 7express-train
which was late hour, the boy went into
one of the railroad company's buildings
when three Irish laborers came into the
building yesterday morning. These men
had expressed, previously, their repug-
nance to the boy, because of his color,
and finding him trespassing on their do
main, they at once determined to vent
their hatred upon him. Taking can of
kerosene oil, they saturated the panta-
looms of the sleeping boy with it's com
bustible contents, and then touched
match to it. In an instant the flames
flashed up, and the poor little waif awoke
to find himself enveloped in fire.. Others
had entered the building by that time,
but, notwithstanding the shrieks and en-
treaties of the boy, no move was made to
extlnguish the flames. Atlast, one Of
the bystanders dashed pail of water on
him, which, however, only added to their
fury. Finally, when it was seen that the
boy was almost exhausted, one of the
three who had set fire to him threw an
overcoat.about his body, and others, at
tracted by the shrieks of the boy rushed
IN and smothered the blaze. Amessenger
was sent by one of the newcomets for a
physician, and Dr. sTingley soon arrived.
Examination of the body disclosed that
his legs were burned to s. crisp. His
right thigh was burned clear to the bone,
and other parts of his person were sicken-
ing to contemplate. The doctor at once
gave itas his opinion that his injuries
mustprove fatal, but at this writing the
boy is still alive, but suffering the most
intense agony. The persons guilty -of
this barbarous. deed had not been arrested
at last accounts, but measures are being
taken to that end. The indignation OF
the people knows no bounds-Susque-

LOWELL, Mass, has Just witnessed a
tragedy, which is a painful illustration of
the recklessness of human life engendered
by the countless stabbing and shooting
affrays of the last few years. Two boys,
Charles E. kiniball, aged nineteen, and
Charles A. Watts, aged sixteen, were
rivals in the affections of young lady of
that town. She chose to 90 home from
church last Sunday evening with the elder
of her admirers. Thereupon the discart-
ed juvenile got a pistol, and ambushed
himself near the residence of the perfidi-
GUS fair one. When Kimball came out,
Watts, with mingled brutality and COW.

murderer is now in Jail waiting the result
of his crime. He probably imagined
himself hero last Sunday evening. BY
the time he has cried himself to sleep a
few more nights, it is possible that faint
idea of his innate scoundrelism may
dawn upon hissmind, -The haunting de-
sire to attract attention has more than

The Cadi's Decision.

A poor Turkish slater, of CONSTANT
nOple, being at work upon the roof of q
house, lost his footing and fell into the
narrow street upon q man who CHANGED
to be passing at the time. The pede-
strainwas killed by the conclusion, while
the slater escaped without material inju-
he 90 of The deceased caused the
s1aese to BE- arrested and taken before
~ Cadi, whsre he made the most grave
char8s, and claimed ample redress.
The Cadi listened attcntively, and in
the end asked the slater what he had to
say in his defence.
"Despencer of JUSTICE" answered the
accused, in humble mood, at is even as
this man says; but God forbid that
there should be evil in my heart. am
. poor man, and know not how I can
make amends"
The son of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that condign
punishment should be inflicted upon the
accused.
The Cadi meditated few moments,
and finally said:
at shall be So"
Then to the slater he continued:
"Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father of this man stood when thou
didst fall upon him."
And to the accuser he added:
"And thou shalt, if it SO please thee,

prit, even as he did fall upon thy father.
