AN ABUSED CREATURE.
The Bty wssu Lives with his Maide
NM6tt.

Aunt.
II We know Il boy who lives with his
jInaiden aunt, and we pity the untor-
SIunate. We have always had Il h0r-
|tor Of living with Il maiden aunt-the
Ware mention o such II thing has often
Frightened us into good behavior for Il
nonth. a cat-o'-ninc tails never had
salf such II wholesome effect upon us
lbs always accompanied this threaten

4 But We disless. The hoy We know
Belongs to the class known rs "smull
Roys '--boys whom nobody has any
p.ace for. and nobMly knows what to
lto with. Thy llrchin is given to play
.tll prlnks 1T times; but then 'sb0ys
fiii be boys and people shouldn't
Jnd fault with minor matters. This
particular yOungster has IA harmonious

hr Keys out ofl the piano, and sells
hem Tor old livery, ana buys pistols to
Meot Ilies. He isn't allowed To go out
Without his Keeper, except on Christ
ias day, and he Is obliged to play
ast bah in the house. He uses th..
utter paddle for bat, eggs for balls,
1ni inlagnes the green velvet carlH.t

roiiu-Iiaiti man, who came next day,
laid the frame was worth hall price,
III he would not cart the broken peices
way for less than one dollar IL toad.
His aunt was unreasonable. She
a'tually round tuuit with the hoy for
ltvlng little harmless diversion.
le had never felt a mothers love for
rr erring offspring, or she would new
have iocKeN him up in the garret
Il. six weeks without anything 10 eat,
,d expect min To cut III, fifty pounds
carpet-rags a day until released.
Six weeks l;ttl PASSED. Quietly and
tootrusively the maiden aunt stole
tthe door OF the room in which she

tpecllng to find hlm reduced to skin
n bone and submission and Ol,edi-
eFe, she WAS about to turn the key,
M,n she suddenly concluded to look
tt ugh the key-hole to see ii the hoy

H. sare tioor, in all the solitude oI his
Eiely isolation, lay the form OF her
l'eTpM, prone upon his vest pattern,
VIII four other urchills stretched
aA gsitle of him, playing tiraw-poker.
All her pious heart was grieved to
tin that these young ,rascals had been
clhhing the r,tin-slNut for six weeks

ia kNDlNlIfAN ENEMY OF HEALrH.
Err6rssor Hamilton, in an able address
Oh aygienr t" the graduates of
the Buffalo Medical college, de-
noulnes broadcloth as an enemyto eX-
elcist, and therefore to health:
IA laerican gentlemen haye adopted
AS II national costume brOastcl0tii~-;t
thin, tls.ht-fitting black suit OF broad
cloth. 70 foreigners We seem to be III
mourning; we travel in black. The
sprizst, tie lawyer, the doctor, the lit
erary man, the mechanic, and even
the llay-labOrer, chUOse the same
black brOadclOtll-r-;l style that ought
hever to have been adopted out Of the
lr,,wingroom or the. pulpit, because it
A feeble and expensive fabric, be-
A,,se 1t is at the north no protection
| taIinst the cold, lis ii any more
H iitable ut the south. 1t is too thin to
A. warm in winter, and too black to
Ne cool in summer; but especially do
ye object to it because the wealer is
Ilways SDiling it by exposure. Young
Gentlemen will not play ball, pitch
iiiOits, ok, tumble, or wrestle, or any
Ither similar thing, lest their broad-
cloth shollld be offended. They will
not go out into the storm because the
brOadcloth will lose its lustre ii rain
fall upon It; they will not run because
they lin y no confidence in the
strength pf their bro.ldclOth; they
dare not lslount II horse or leap fence,
because broadcloth, as everybody
lnNIys, is 20 faithless. So these young
nen AIM these older men, these mer-
'hants, hAechanics and all, learn to
walk, talk Iss1a think soberly and care
nlly; thes ON venture t0 laugh
o the full extN \Ofstheir sides.
