don't mean, but it came out-came out to

nature in hens. When they saw this hen
dance around and have all the fun to itself

the conflagration themselves, they filled

Like many others, while sleeping, our
hero opened his mouth, and it is supposed
that on this occasion the aperture was at
its fullest extent. While thus slumbering

dreaming of many lambs and the low

understand that the reptile was only small

Didn't-Think.

| should like to put his picture right
here; AN ugly little dwarf, with mischief
and malice in every feature, yet so small
you never would suspect he could make
so much trouble in the world. He seems
TO have the faculty fleeing everywhere at
once: and | could not begin to tell you
the mischief he can do in five minutes
Didnt Think threw the end of a match on
the floor and burnt up whole block OF
houses; he shook the ashes from his pipe
into the dead prairie grass and started
fire that swept away the barns and har-
vests and homes for half township. lie

and left great city in ashes. He played
with railroad switch and sent crowded
express train 10 destruction. He pointe<
a gun at a playmate, for fun, and killed
him Instantly. He left an open knife
where the BABY found it, and crippled one
soft little hand forever.
Didntthtnk loses things by never put
ting them in their places; breaks and ruins
things by taking them for improper uses

in fact, is always in trouble and disgrace,
and considers himself abused and badly
treated
If you'll take his word for it, he never
in his life mean: TO do a wrong thing; and
ugly as he is, the boys and girls OF whom
he takes possession will always defend
him, and make excuses for him. They
don't believe Ddnt-think is a bad fellow

the wretched little cheat must laugh as
they try to screen him from blame
He knows well enough he is shabby

his power lies in persuading his subjects

Poetry.
By THE SHORE OF THE RIVER

BY C. p. cRAScH-
THRousH the gray willows the bleak winds are
Here the shore, with its drift-wood and
sands;
Bathed in the sunshine of Orient lands;
Over the river. the wide dark river.
Spring time and summer are blooming forever.
Here. all alone on the rocks. 1 am sitting
Sitting. and waiting-my comrades all gone
Shadows Of mystery drearily fitting
Over the surf with its sorrowfuf moan,
Over the river, the strange, cold river
All! must wait for the Boatman forevers
Wife and children and friends were around me,
Labor and rest were as wings to my soul;
Honor and love the laurcls that crowned me, .
Little rocked how the dark waters roll
Bnt the deep river. the gray, misty river,
All that lived for has taken forever
Silently came black boat DER the pillows;
StealIhly grated the ke.i on the sand;
There the dark Boaiman stood waving his
whispering. Il come, DER the shadowy river;
She who Is dearest must leave thee forever"
Suns that brightest and skies that bluest
Darkened and paed in the message he bore.
Year after year went the fondest, the truest.
Following that beckoning hand 10 the shore,
Down TO the river, the cold, grim river.
Over whose waters they vanish forever.
Yet not in visions of grief have 1 wandered;
Still have l toiled, though my ardors have
Labor is manhood; and life is but squandered
Dreaming vague dreams Of the future alone.
Yet from the tides Of the mystical river
Voices OF spirits are whispering ever.
Lonely and old, in the dusk I am waiting.
I'LL the dark Boatman. with soft, muffied oar,
Glides oer the waves, and hear the keel grating.
See the dim. beckoping hand on the shore,
Waiting me DER the welcoming river
To gardens and homes that are shining forever!

Wonders Of the Sea Depths.

THE neither darkness, so far from being
a lifeless waste, teens almost everywhere
with creatures not only more fantastic but
larger than their shallow-water cousins;
and the paddler about rock-pools and tide
sands at watering places will learn from
this book that far away at sea are found
sea monsters far bigger as well as far ug-
1ier and far more beautiful than were ever
transferred to an aquarium. To give two
instances, the Caprella, 1.-The phantom
shrimp" which may be found on sea-
weed, sitting upright like a monkey,
holding on by his hind paws, and, with
CHASTITY grimaces, mesmerizing all pass
ers-by with his fore claws, sits in like
guise upon sponges mile or two deep in
the darkness-there, however, not a quar-
ter of an inch, but three inches long, and
the Nymphoms, sea spiders who crawl
from under stones, and who, having no
body to speak Of carry their stomach, for
economy of space, packed in long branches
up the inside of each leg-are found in the
depths of the Arctic sea- not half an inch
but two feet in diameter.

ROBBIE'.S SOLD THE BABY !

Robbie's sold the baby.
Sold her out and out!
And I'll have To tell you
How Ii came about.
When on New Years morning
Robbie's opening eyes
Spied the bran-new baby
What glad surprise!
Constantly he watched her,
Scarcely cared to play,
Lest the precious baby
Should be snatched away.
He it was who named her
Becky" Betsy Ann
Told what he would buy her
When he was a man.
Now he's gone and sold her!
For to-day he ran
And proclaimed to mamma,
Yes, I've found a man!
Here's the man'll buy her!
Get her ready. kricki''
With an air of business,

Sold my baby Robbie?''
Mamma sadly said:
Robbie. quite decided,
Bodied his little head.
well. if this man buys her,
What will he give you?''
''Oh, two nice, big horses,
And five pennies, too!
What's the good of babies?
Only 'queal and cream!
can go horse-backin'
When get my team!'
But when quiet night came,
Robbie's prayers were said,
And he looked at baby
In her little bed.
And he said, when baby
Smiled in some sweet dream
"She's wuf forty horses.
Stead of jess teamt'
Baby's wee pink fingers
Round his own he curled;
s'.She's wurf all the horses
In dis whole big worldr'

ARTIFICIAL MILK.-A French chem
list, NJ. Dubrunfaut, devised, during the
siege of Paris, an artificial milk, made by
dissolving one ounce and half of sugar
in quart of water, adding an ounce of
dry albumen from white of eggs, and
fifteen to thirty grains of soda crystals,
and preparing, from this solution, an
emulsion with one and half to two ounces
of olive-oil. AS the siege advanced, these
materials became too scarce, and gelatine
was substituted for albumen, while slaugh-
ter-house fats, purified by melting at 15O@
took the place of the olive-oil. A single
firm is said to have made daily, of this
article, one hundred and thirty-two thou
sand gallons for Paris consumption If
one must use artificial milk, it is better to
let the chemist make it than the milkman.

AN exchange says: 1--WE arise in the
morning and with the brush of nature
paint with roseate hues the path that lies
before u.s." That is what he says. What
he really does, after being kicked out of
bed, is to get his pants on wrong, seize a
brush Of bristles, and paint with raven
hues a cook-stove as large as livery sta
bic. Poetry is one of those things it
doesn't do to look into.
