An INTERESTING GAME.-A
gentleman from New Haven, Conn,
lately exhibited some sweet little
games for children. One of them
called the "Fly Leaf" is done in
this way: Take a sheet Of writing
paper; cuyer it on one side with
gum lnucilage; then catch a fly;
then tnrn the fly over oil His back;
stick the back u the fly on to the
paper; then catch another tly aud
do likewiee; put the flies cloSe TO-
gether, heads all one way, keep on
doing this till YOU get the sheet
full, then turn the paper over, and
you will swear that the paper il
alive. 1t will run all round tile
room. When you tire Ofthis sport,
turn the paper over and admire the
movement Of the flies legs. 1t
will be a perfect filc simib Of
grass swayed by zephyr. This
Vill be cheaper than taking the
children to the country to zee it.

The warlike spirit of the Indians being thus
likely to be renewed, it was thought advisable
to imprison Mary also. This was accordingly
carried into effect. At the same time, to ap-
pease the Indians, a sumptuous feast was made
for the chiefs by the president, who during
the better state of feeling which seemed to
prevail, took occasion to explain to them the
wickedness of Bosomworth, and how by false
hood and cunning he had led them to believe
that Mary was really their queen-a descend
ant of one of their great chiefs. v
Brother" said he, it is no such thing.
Queen Mary is no other than Mary Musgrove,
whom found poor, and who has been made
the dupe of the artful Bosomworth and you,
brothers, the dupes of both"
The aspect of things was now pleasant. The
Indians were beginning to be satisfied of the
villainy of Bosomworth, and of the real char
acter of Mary. But at this moment the door
was thrown open, and, to the surprise of all,
Mary burst into the room. She had made her
escape from prison; and, learning what was
going on, she had rushed forward with the
fury Of a tigress: sit e af
pCizo your dfiiiS Scize your dTInS Ike-
member your promise, and defend your
queen!"
The sight of their queen seemed, in mo-
ment, to bring back all the original arior of
the enterprise. In an instant, every chief had
seized his tomahawk, and sprang from the
ground to rally at the call of their queen.
AT this moment Captain Jones, who was
present, perceiving the danger of the president
and the other whites, drew his sword and de-
manded peace. The majesty of his counten-
ance, the fire Of his eye, and the glittering of
his sword, told Queen Mary what she might
expect should she attempt to raise any higher
the fevcrish spirit of her subjects.
The Indians cast an eye toward Mary, as if
to inquire what they should do. Her coun-
tenance fell. Perceiving his advantage, Cap
tain Jones stepped forward, and, in the pre-
sence of the Indians standing around, again
conducted Mary back to prison. A short i'm
prisonment so far humbled both Bosomworth
and Mary that each wrote letter, in which
they confessed the wrong they had done, and
promised, if released, that they would conduct
themselves with more propriety in future.
The people kindly forgave them both, and
they left the city.

STARrISe IN THE WonLn.-Many an un-
wise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all
his life for the purpose of leaving enough to
give his children start in the world, as it is
called. Setting young man afoat with
money left him by his relatives is like tying
bladders under the arms OF those who cannot
swim /; ten chances to one he will lose his
bladders and go to the bottom. Teach him to
swim, and he will never need the bladders.
Give your child sound education, and you
have done enough for him. See to it that his
morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient to laws which
govern man, and you have given that which
will be Of more value than the wealth of the
Indies. n

The following beautiful sketch was written
by the late Thurlow Weed Brown in 1850:
Waiting for the Evening Train" The
speaker was the Oldest of the crowd of people
moving rcstlessly about the depot His form
was bowed with years of hard toll his hair
was white and his hand tremulous. There
was that in his countenancc and manner which
always wins confidence and respect. and brings
pleasant dream Of substantial farmhouse,
a worthy family, and a life teaching Of the
principles Of industry, integrity and honor.
And the old man viii not wait long, for the
train is sweeping in on the down grade The
hours wear away. The sun is going down,
and the shadows are already thickening over
the track beyond And there is but one change
on the route-and by the deep river which
rolls between this and the other shore.
More than eighty years ago he received a
through ticket over the straight and narrow
way, whose terminus is the eternal city.
Death is mighty engine, and for thousands
of years it has swept this down grade hourly
with loaded trains. 1t stops at every station
We are ill Waiting for the train" There
are the morning and the noon trains those
filed with children with the pleasure seek
ing and sorrow stricken. We know not the
time when due but with noiseless speed they
are coming. "All aboard " has startling
thrill, and the gentle goodnight is spoken not
again, for no passenger returneth.

SLANDER.-If you find person circulating
malicious reports about his neighbor, it may
be set down as an inyiolable rule that any such
person is dishonest. Not only dishonest, but
from his infamous disposition, dangerous to
all with whom he may be acquainted. He
circulates false impressions and sets people
upon an erroneous course Of Judgment and
conduct in respect to others, which may fire.
quently be ruinous to their prosperity. It
does general injury to society, more than to
the party injured, as 1t destroys confdences
The person who Is guilty of circulating mali
cious reports must necessarily be deceitful,
and therefore dishonest he must be abandon
ed to, every principle Of moral feeling. In
ancient times, when man was convicted Of
being slanderer, he was stoned to death as q
danger and curse to the community In
modern times there is even better remedy
than this--to cease all association with such
characters. Treat them like lcpers, abandon
them to their kind, which is social death,
one by which they serve as an example to
others. This rule is observed among all in
telligent people and should be Invariably
carried out till the desired object is accom-
plished.
