can hardly bs classed under the head of

Of exercise the day before. And it is a lit-i
tie singular that the next hardest thing 10
getting boy out of bed is getting him
into it. There is rarely mother who is
a success at rousing a boy. All mothers
know this /; so do their boys. And yet
the mother seems to 60 at it in the right
way. She opens the stair door and in
sinuatingly observes: "Johnny!" There
is no response. Johnny" Still no re-
sponse. Then there is a short, sharp
john" Followed moment later by
long and emphatic "John Henry" A
grunt from the upper re gions signifies that
an impression had been made, and the
mother is encouraged TO add You'd
better be getting down here to your
breakfast, young man, before | come up
there, an give you something you'll feel,P
This so startles the young man that he i'm
medlately goes to sleep again. And the
operation has to be repeated several
times. A father knows nothing about the
trouble. He merely opehs his nouth as
soda bottle elects its cork, and the
John Henry" that cleaves the air of that
stairway goes into that boy like electrici.
ty, and pierces the deepest recesses Of his
nature. And he pops out Of that bed
and into his clothes. and down the stairs,
with promptness that is commendablc.
1t is rarely a boy allows himself to dsre-
gard the parental summons. About once
a year is believed to be as often as is con-
sistent with the rules of health. He
saves bis father great many steps by his
thoughtulness.

CALEB.

BY JAMES II. MORSE
Out Of what quarter comes the wind
That brings so sweet dream
Unto young Celeb. slumbering on,
Half blddeu. near the stream
Whose pleasant waters make sound
More audible to him .........
Than the white rustlng birches that
Rise round him, ,all and slim
Is it the west-a gentle air?
L. il the north. clear-cOld
Or steals il DER the inland hills
Out some forest old
1t is air that touches not
The birchen boughs at all.
1t never lifted green leaf
Nor made a red leaf iall
Moving invisible by day,
1t keeps the misi-wreaths bright;
Rustling iDaudibIe, it wakes
The brooding birds at night.
A breath that turns no weatherceck,
Aud shakes the dew-drop down;
That dissipates no tLunder-cloud,
And makes no sky to rown.
His gun lies idle at his side.
And from neighbor limb
Low-hung not half rod away,
His game makes game of him.
A qaick-eyed spotted partridge there,
Self constituted guard,
A sleek gray, three boughs away,
Keep silent watch aud ward.
And Caleb sleeps--as fair youth,
Who will Tomorrow grow
Into as fair and true man,
As common life can show.
This is his day of blossoming;
Fast closed the gates have been
Until to-day, that shall to-day
Lay bare the sweets within.
Ere the cool lowland dewiness
Had passed away this morn.
A blithe and buoyant hunter he
Came through the new-cut corn.
And there, amid her marigolos, q
At the last house in the town, &
Wrapt in the glory of the morh,
He saw young Alice Brown.
And now the trout in the near brook,
Athwart golden beam
Flashing. is not so bright thing,
Or happy, as his dream.
A mother would delight to see,
A maid to own, "a grace
So purely beautiful as shines
An instant on his face,
AS still, amid her marieolds,
BY the last house in town,
Wrapt in the glory Of the morn,
He sees young Alice Brown.

Of beauty Alice shone.
Or by what open grace OF brow
Or eye his heart was won.
To you or me il matters not /;
The heavens are full of suns.
And sometimes every upturned face
Is Of the holy ores
The stars combine their influence,
Mass all their brows, and shine,
That what but Yesterday was clay
To-day may be divine.

In red.haired Alice Brown,

The great battle Of the Tweed case is
to be fought at New York on Saturday.

teen of which he was found guilty. He was
therefore found guilty on 20i counts q" of
criminal neglec. and corruption in his capa-
city as one Of the board of audit" and the
prosecution counsel propose to move for
separate sentence upon each distinct ofense.
As he was charged with frauduently au.
diting hfty.dve claims against the city and
was found guilty on dity-one of them, and
as the penalty for each offence may be fixed
at one years Imprisonment and $3.50 fine,
it will be no joke to be sentenced upon
each offence. The prospect of going to the
penitentiary at all, aud particularly for life,
is not an agreeable one to Mr. Tweed, and
his lawyers. John Graham and William O.
Bartlett, will resort to all the technicalties
possible to save their client from putting on
a prison garb. Whatever their success
may be, the fact of the verdict of guilty
remains, and the moral effect of that yer.

will be almost equivaleutin itself to lock.

By Judge Davis on Saturday afternoon, and
is that he be fined sl2,750, aud be i'm.
Prisoned in the penitentiary twelve years.
This sentence excited considerable surprise,
but the general sentiment seems to be that
it is well deserved, and that its effect will
be exceedingly healthy.

And now the war cloud looms up il
Pennsy lvania. The Constitutional Con.

that State, voted, before adjournment, the
sum Of fve thousand dollars to assist in de.

der, State Treasurer Mack, who has had a
standing grievance against that body from
ITS first sitting, refused, point blank, to pay
1T. Thus the matter stands, at present.
Whether the members of the convention
will put their hands in their pockets and
pay the bill themselves, or whether thew
will go into session again, call out the mill.
