"Catching " on Behind"

Catching on behind is the crown
ing enjoyment now for boys. Johnny
comes home at night surfeited with
fun he has had a good time, but he is
tired. His nose is split open at one
end, and one of his teeth is gone, and
he has Jumps on the back of his head,
but he has had good time, and he has
come home to hear his mother read
about Joseph and his brethren, and rub
him with liniment.
There is huge fun in catching on be-
hind, but it requires a great deal of
adroitness and decision. The success
full lad is he who is never looking for a
ride. He stands with his hands in his
pockets, actively devouring the scenery
with one eye, while the other is prowl-
ing around under cover on the lookout
for good chance. And when it comes
he pounces down on the cornice of the
sleigh in such manner as to cover the
most tender parts of himself in case he
has fallen on Philistine. The solici.
tude with which boy shields his tender
parts will bring tears to the eyes of O
tax collector. But he always gets on
the sleigh, and gets off, too, when urged
by long whip-lash and when he get,
off he rolls himself in lump and mere,
ly lets go, and the fate that always pro.
tects boys sees that he bounds into
safety. Wood sleighs, with long, strong
stakes to catch hold of, are Godsends,
but box sleigh, with place for two tc
sit on and make faces at rivals, who are
breaking down their legs and lungs in O
vain attempt to catch up, is not to be
despised.

! The petals of the June roses had
fallen, pink carpet all along the edge
of the woods, and the long July days
had come, epics of sunshine, jewelled
at either end by dew and moonlight.
And the Dapplevale Works wore their
holiday guise, even down to Simon
Pettengill's ly-brightened steam
engine, for Mr.. Elderslie and his bride
were to visit the works on their wedding
tour.

Mr.. Gerald Blake, in his best broad
cloth suit, and mustache newly dyed,
stood smiling in the broad doorway, as
the carriage drove up to the door, and
Mr.. Elderslie, handsome blonde
browed man, sprung out, and assisted a
young lady. in dove-colored travelling
suit, to alight.
"Blake, how are you ?" he said, with
the carelessnes. of conscious superiori-
ty. Annette, my love, this is Blake,

"Not another word" cried Elderslie,

Elderslie turned to his wife.
"You We're right, my love-" said he.
The mans face is sufficient evidence
against him."
And new reign began for poor Jenny

for Simon Pettengill.

How 1t is Done.

They tell the story of a captain OF
North River boat, who was something
of wag in his way. A committee OF
the New York Legislature was on the
captains boat making tour OF inspec-
ton, and one of the members, who knew
the captain of old, attempted to extract
amusement for himself and his fellow
members by rallying the captain on his
preaching, as it was reported that he
sometimes indulged in that exercise.
go |" said the captain, GIVE taken
to the law lately" &.
Senator" Not been admitted?"
Captain" Yes, regular I; passed my
examination in open court. p"
Senator" And answered all the
questions fair and square, captain? ?"
Captain" All but one."
Senator" And what was that?"
Captain-"I I don't like to tell it may
hurt your feelings, and some of the gen.
tlemen here may be offended"
ALTO no out with it; what was
it Let's hear"
Captain-"Well, the judge asked me
and couldn't tell How can man
go to the Legislature, get three dollars
a day, pay five dollars day for his
board, and lay up money!"
The committee gave the captain a
round of applause, and invited him to
supper that night, which he positively
declined.

A Varied Career.

A man died in Worcester, Mass,
few days ago, Springfield paper says,
whose career is strange illustration of
the power of strong drink to ruin man.
hood. Twelve years ago he was a law
yer in Connecticut, then twenty-four
years old, of marked ability and fine
promise. Entering the army, he served
with distinction, rising to the command
the use of intoxicants, he sank to the
level of q common drunkard, and in
1865 was allowed to resign to escape
disgrace. While intoxicated in one of
the low dens of New York, one night, he
was " "shanghaed aboard of China
bark, which sailed the next morning for
Bombay. The vessel was wrecked in
st. Helena Bay, on the west coast of
Africa, and all but nine of the crew lost.
The remainder made their way to Cape
Town, where the ex-soldier commenced
prolonged debauch. He was finally
arrested, imprisoned, and at last hired
by the authorities to a Dutch farmer,
by whom, in company with several Hot
tentots, he was employed in tending
cattle. After brief experience of this
kind of life, he escaped and shipped on
small vessel bound through the
Straits of Madagascar on trading voy-
age. Becoming dissatisfied, however,
he again deserted, and penetrating to
the interior of the island, lived some
time among the natives. He was allowed
to become settler, had half dozen
wives, and was for time considered as
one of the people but finally becoming
unpopular, and hearing that he was to
be murdered, he secretly departed at
night. After almost incredible suffer
ings, he reached the coast and put to
sea in an open boat, intending to reach
the mainland. He was picked up by q
vessel bound for Cape Town and carried
back. There he shipped for Singapore,
and, after wanderingin China and Japan
for several years, finally reached San
Francisco. All this time his habit OF
drinking had maintained its ascenden-
cy, and had sufficed to counteract the
stimulus which his adventures might
otherwise have given bold, daring
spirit. He was physically and mentally
broken down, and incapable of further
effort. He remained in San Francisco
virtually a beggar until about a yeal
ago, when he appeared in Elizabeth, n.
j., as bartender at drinking saloon OF
the lowest class. A few months since
a relative, hearing that he had fallen
sick, and was without friends or means
of support, went to New Jersey and
brought him to Worcester, where he
passed his last days.

Carried Her Point.

San Francisco has witnessed a scene
which has created much fun, but more
profanity in every post-office in the
United States. ga female argonaut of
fearful vitality" we read in the San
Francisco Bulletin, ga tall and ex-
tremely ugly female, called at the post
office, rendered ninety-nine coppers to
the urbane clerk, and asked in lieu
thereof three-cent stamps. The official
remarked that he could only receive
four coppers as a legal tender, and at
the expense of deal of precious time
endeavored to convince the female that
he was guided by certain rules, and had
no latitude in the matter. She waxed
wroth, and remarked that when, in the
course of human events, it became ap-
parent that United States coin was to be
refused by United States official, she
thought her forefathers had died in
vain, and considered it her duty to bring
the Government to account. Then she
paced the corridor of the post-oflice
until she had made thirty-three separate
tenders of the coppers and obtained
thirty three three. cent stamps. During
her transactions with the clerk she gave
him much unsolicited advice, and other.
wise contributed to the enjoyment of Q
little knot of spectators. The clerk

HindOO Social Law.

A very important case has been de-
cided by full bench of the High Court,
at Calcutta. The question whether a
Hindoo widow, who succeeds to her
husbands estate, forfeits the property
by subsequent unchastity, has long
formed a subject of controversy. 1t is
complicated in India by the prohibition
of widow remarriage, and it really
amounts to whether Hindoo widow
shall or shall not be condemned to a
life of celibacy, on pain of deprivation
of her estate. The cause came on before
Christmas, and after a protracted in
quiry, with five days argument before
all the judges, seven of them, including
the Chief Justice, held that unchastity
does not involve forfeiture, while three
of them, including the Hindoo Judge of
the High Court, held that it did. The
decision is in accord with the views of
the rising generation in Bengal but
the point forms only one of a group
of social questions in native life which
sooner or later must come before the
Legislature. The British Government
has pledged itself to be guided in such
matters by Hindoo law and custom
but the ancient law and customs of
India are ceasing to represent the facts
of native society in Bengal.

Laughing Children.

Give me (says a writer) 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 q man-at least when contrasted
with q sullen, morose, grabbed fellow,
who snaps and snarls like surly cur,
or growls and grunts like an untdmed
hyena, from the moment he opens his
angry eyes till he is confronted by
his breakfast. Such a 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
gentle, affectionate, and lovable. 1t is
feast to even look at such joy-in-
spring girl, such woman girl, and see
the smiles flowing, so to speak, from the
parted lipes, displaying set of clean
well-brushed teeth, looking almost the
personifcation of beauty and goodness,
singing, and as merry as the birds-the
wide awake birds that commenced theil
morning concert long before the lazy
boys dreamed that the sun was ap'
preaching, and about to pour a whole
food of light and warmth upon the
earth. Such a girl is like a gentle
shower to the parched earth, bestowine
kind words, sweet smiles, and acts OF
mercy to all around her-the joy and
light of the household.

Wringing Jokes from a Broken Heart.

"Mamma begs you to be funny"
was, says the London Echo, a suffi-
GENTLY uncomfortable message for a
gentleman to receive at an evening par
ty, after having dined luxuriously on
his dozen courses at the mammal house.
But to be obliged to be " funny" on an
empty stomach, to be comic" for the
entertainment of public house audi
ence, when in state of starvation, is
one of the cruelest ironies of Fate of
which we have ever heard. A poor fell
low named David Haslam, aged fifty
two, has expired at Stafford under the
trial, and the verdict of the coroner's s
jury is Death from natural causes, ac-
celerated by want of medical attendance
and of the proper necessaries of life. "
The mans son and three younger men,
bers of the family, all "unft to work, ="
lived together in poor room, for which
there is history of an appeal to the
Lnfirmary, and no notice taken till " the
deceased became worse on Thursday,
and died on Saturday afternoon" For
three weeks he had failed to earn any
thing by his grim efforts to be "comic'
which usually brought him magnif-
cent income of from Is. to 3s. week
and then he took to his bed for a fort
night, and with little sage and tea,
brought bya charitable neighbor, passed
quietly down the last slope and out at
the door, which leads-let. us trust-to
a world where there is no need to be
"comic. OF all the ghastly touches
which enter into the picture of our civ
ilization, We know few SO blood-chilline
as the presentment of figure singing
vulgar, hilarious ditties at the door of 9
gin palace, just few days off from ac,
tually dying for want of the necessaries

Fashionable Dress.

Says the London Echo: GA cores
pondent notices, among the arcaua of
fashionable dress, fact which, if duly
pondered Ly those of its wearers whose
means do not justify large outlay to
secure extreme originality of attire, may
produce considerable revolution in the
mode of obtaining those exquisite
tOiLetteS which at this moment rival the
flowers of May in variety and freshness.
The ready-made costumes sold in large
shops frequently cost about the same
sum as those made by reasonable
dressmaker, whose materials are sup
piled by her customer. This circum-
stance recalls the anecdote of a provin-
cial, who, having given famous Pari-
sian tailor some home-spun cloth to
make up into coat, was surprised to
find that his bill came to the same
amount as that of a customer whose suit
had been made of the tailor's own stuff
you will observe, SIR said the artistt

establishmentforma Customers

NICOTINE IN ToBAooo-SMoKE. -Exper-
iments, by DIR. Heubel, do not confirm
the alleged absence of nicotine from
tobacco smoke on the contrary, by
condensing smoke from cigars, and
washing it in water and alcohol, he OBJ
tanned a solution which was capable of
producing the effects of nicotine; and
he also detected it's presence, chemical
ly, in the form of the salts more perma-
nent at high temperatures. The effect
of smoking, he concludes, must there
fore be ascribed, in part at least, to the
absorption of nicotine, though other
substances may act with this poison.

DOUBLE Eaas.-Tkere is a hen in
Utica of a modest and lowly turn of
mind. Conscious of her inability to
compete with some of her sisters in
different parts of the country that have
been laying eggs as large of these of
the ostrich, the Utica fowl has sought
celebrity for delicate elegance by pro-
ducing eggs of about the size of hot
house grapes. She has indeed gone a
little further than this in the pursuit of
novelty. Into the little eggs she puts
no yolks, so that her productions are
more curious than valuable.
