Then taking the mouth piece in his
hand, he made ready. He opened his
mouth until the hole in his face looked
like dry dock for ocean steamers, and
began to take in wind. The initiation
was like that of the Graphic balloon, u
not so disastrous That fellows chest
began to grow and distend until he re

at which point he put the mouth piece
to his lips and blew with such force that
his eyes came out and stood around on

and the needle of the indicator spun
around like the button on country

The Children.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me
To bid me goodnight and be kissed:
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in tender embraced
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face
And when they are gone 1 sit dreaming
Ofm childhood too lovely to last;
Of love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of giadness within.
Oh, my heart grows as weak as a woman's,
And the fountains of feeling will flow,
When L think Of the paths, steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Of the mountains of sin hanging Der them;
Of the tempest of fate blowing wild;
Oh there's nothing on earth half SO holy
As the innocent heart of child!
They are idols of hearts aad of households,
They arc angels of God in disguise;
Aud his sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
And his glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
Oh those truanis from home aud from heaven
They have made me more manly and mild
And know how our Saviour could liken
The kingdom of God to child.
ask not life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sum-
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All. a seraph m1y pray for sinner,
Bat sinner must pray for himself
The twig is so easily bended,
have baniShed the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God
My heart is dungeon of darkness,
Where shut them from breaking rule;
My frown is sufficient correction;
Ny love is the law of the school.
l shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse the threshold no more;
All how shall | sigh for the dear ones,
That meet me each morn at the door;
| shall miss the good nights" and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The gromp on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
/ shall miss them at morn and at evening"
Their song in the school and the street;
| shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tap of their delicate feet,
When the lesson and tasks are all ended
And death saws 'the school is dismissed !"
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed!

barous. The deceased was man named

The room was too small to dauce in uu-
less the corpse was removed, aud there
was no other room in which the body
could be stored. For a, time the dance
was postponed, but moro refreshments,
made the party more clamorous, and at
last an attempt was made to set the body
on chair and put it on ore side of the
This failed, and as a last resor
tthe corpse was taken off the table
on which it had been placed and
stood up in corner, and the dance went
on. We have heard of rows and fights,
and in fact all kinds Of revery taking
place at wakes, but never before have we
heard Of anything occurring in a civilized
community SO barborous as this M.oy
Times.
