Our Young Folks.
a LITTLE TEASE.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
1 know little fellow
Who Is such willful tease,
That, when he's not in mischief,
He is never at his ease:
He dearly loves 10 froic,
And TO play IN :imely Jokes
Upon his little sister,
And upon the older folks.
He rings the bell for Sarah.
And then slyly runs away;
And tries to make fool of her
A dozen times a day:
He hides away in corners.
To spring suddenly in sight:
And laughs, OH very heartily.
To see her jump with fright.
When kitty's lying quiet,
ana curled up warm and snug.
This little fellow always feels
Like giving her q hug;
And Kitty from his fond embrace
Would surely never finch
Did she not know the little tease
Would give her many pinch.
But this provoking fellow
Has very curious way
OF feeling rather hurt at tricks
That other people play
just like some old jokers,
Who laugh at fun they make.
But never can enjoy the fun
OF jokes they have to take.

A Female Spree.

A HAMILTON man, who fell few years
ago into dissOlute habits, and passed most
of his time in lounging about bar-rooms
while his family suffered for the neces-
saries of life, was startled not long ago
by the entrance of his wife into saloon
on Basin street, where he sat playing
cards with party of boon companions.
The woman took no notice Of her hus-
band, but boldly walked up to the counter
and called for glass Of beer. Turning
to the crowd, she said, "Come, gentlemen,
and have drink with mel If beer is
good for men it certainly ought to be for
women" and though the crowd was a
little startled, as representative bummers,
none OF them, except the husband, were
unprepared to accept the invitation The
drink was disposed of, when The lady or
dered second for the crowd, but made
wry face as she struggled TO get
through with it. Setting her halfemptied
glass on the counter, she said, 81 don't
believe l like beer; what else have
you got?" The woman who offici-
ated at the bar enumerated the vari-
cites. 81 believe I'll try Tom and
jerry" was the answer, and the
crowd willingly helped her to dispose of
round of that also, her husband mean
while, smiling, desperately, a sickly
smile, with an effort to show that he
thought the affair good joke. Taking a
seat, then, at one of the dirty tables, She
sat down and said: Gentlemen, I've got
some money here that / have no other use
for, let's play game of seven up, at two
dollars a game?" And somebody PLAYED
with and at the same time instructed her
in the game, and she lost of course, but
"manfully" paid every time, and as often
treated the crowd as she lost. Finally, as
her utterance became thick, and her head
rolled to one side, and her conversation
grew maudlin, her husband was able to
stand it no longer. He arose from his
seat and induced her to accompany him
home, and arm in arm they started. What
ever of good the lesson NAV continue tn
work, it has certainly affected something
toward his reclamation, for he has not
been seen in any bar room in Hamilton
since.-CGncinnati Gozette.
RAPID PIcKLING OF MEAT.-The fol-
lowing IS an English recipe: Put the
meat IN mixture OF sixteen ounces salt.
one-half ounce saltpeter, and one ounce
sugar, SO that all parts may be complete
~ salted; then wrap closely in piece of
cotton cloth previously well scalded and
dried, and place in a porcelain or other
vessel. The cloth is essential with small
pieces, to retain the brine formed in CON
tact with the meat. After about sixteen
hours, however, some brine win drain off
into the bottom of the vessel, and if will
be necessary then 10 turn the meat still
wrapped up, daily. A piece Of six
pounds, treated in this way for six weeks
then unwrapped and boiled, will be found
quite palatable and sufficiently picked
For larger quantities the cloth NAV he
dispensed with, since the brine formed
VIII be sufficient to cover the mass. pro
Vlded the pieces are closely packed, and
any unavoidable cavities filled with
stones.

number OF persons who desire to possess
a piano, but do not feel able to 90 to the
expense Of the coStliest make, and YET
would have only good, substantial one
we have made a most careful examina-
ton OF all the lowest priced pianos made
in the United States. The result Of this
examination is that we have found those
made by W. P. Emerson to be the best
pianos for the price, and the cheapest
good pianos that arc made. They are
most substantially built, on the soundest
acoustic principles; the wood is OF the
best quality, and properly seasoned; the
tone rich and powerful, and the touch
easy and elastic; each one Is provided
With the full iron frame and overstrung
bass; they stand we'll in tune, and wear
well in every particular. This VIC know
from actual experience. The difference
in price between the Emerson Piano and
the more costly makes is caused by the
most rigid economy in the manufacture
consistent with excellence, and by o say.
ing OF labor on those parts which neither
elect the tone nor durability.
We have just received large and
well selected stock Of these "best low
priced Pianos" and offer them at low
prices Tor cash, or on monthly or quar-
terly payments, Call and see them.
