THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Pierre and Patty.

On a heap OF autumn leaves,
Brown ana gold and flaming red,
Lying with her dimpled hands
Clasped beneath her mead,
Little Patty, with her eyes
Brown aud SOFT and sleepy, said,
- Tell the incest story. Pierre,
That you've ever read
so he told her Of queen,
On throne of red and gold;
And he told her of a knight,
Beautiful and bold.
But the queen was very proud.
Though the queen was very fair;
And the knight, the brave ana good,
Languish'd in despair.
Till the knight upon day
Boldly saved the ladys life;
Seeing him so brave, she said,
Z" viii be your Wife,"
Then, within the palace gates,
Bells were ringing clear and loud,
He no longer languishing,
She no longer proud.
81 So. You see,n said little Pierre,
4" / shall be "A soldier bold
l shall save lady's life,
When I'm strong and old
VIII that lady be a queen,
ON throne of red and gold?
We shall see, all, little Pierre,
When your siory's told!

One More Unfortunate.

A writer describes n recent painting
of Gustave Dore's as follows 1t
represents a woman sleeping on what
appears to be the parapet of bridge,
and holding her baby, a round. faced,
rosy little creature, on her breast. The
pale sky of wintry midnight, studded
with stars, extends above the group,
and the moonlight surrounds it with a
blush color. The woman is clad in faded
and worn-out fnery, but her crushed
bonnet is of black lace, and her tat
tered dress is of silk but hunger and
despair are written on her haggard and
painful countenance. One feels that
for her and her baby there remains
one step, which would be only too easy
to take, from the parapet of the bridge
to the cold waters beneath it. It is
One more unfortunate before the
moment of Hoods poem-the pro-
logue, so to speak, OF the Bridge Of
Signs"

When the shade is pulled up, the tassel
of the string lies on the floor, and the
string runs up past and close by the
cage.
One day ] was writing. The bird,
whose name is "Parson, was hopping
about the room, and everything was as
quiet as quiet could be.
Suddenly the bird began to run very
fast toward the window, chirping as
though greatly pleased. L looked, and
there was little mouse-iust the pref

they were old acquaintance.
Presently the mouse ran up the string

parsons cage, ran along the perch, put
his head into the cup, and took a good
drink of water. Then he ran to the op-

An Oriental Lawyers Victory.

The Cour de Cessation, of Paris, has
just given judgment in somewhat GU
rious case. 1t is customary in many
Oriental courts of justice for the advo-
Gates as well as the public to take off
their shoes on entering as sign of re-
spect to the Bench. M. Pannoutombi,
a native advocate of Pondicherry, some
time ago took upon himself to trans
gress this custom and to keep his shoes
on in the presence of the judges. For
this he was suitably admonished but
M. Pannoutombi rebelled, and main
tanned that he had right to appear in
court with or without his shoes, accord
ing to his convenience or fancy. He
was in consequence forbidden to prac-
tice. M. Pannoutombi appealed to the
French Minister of Justice, who quasbed
the decision of the court of Pondicher-
ry. The affair was carried before the
Court of Cessation, whose solemn sane
ton henceforth authorizes M. Pannou-
tomb to keep his shoes on in the dis
charge of his professional duties.

rents who are perplexed with the diff
Guilty of finding the wherewithal to
amuse and interest their boys, to give
their lads every opportunity of acquir-
ing mechanical trade. The industry
and ingenuity of boy of average ability,
says the Scientific american, may easily
be made to furnish him with never
failing source of amusement of the best
order. The boy who can produce or
make something, already begins to feel
that he is somebody i'll the world, that
achievement of result is not reward
reserved for grown people only. And
the education of mind, eye and hand,
which the use of tools and mechanical
appliances furnishes, is of n great and
real value, beyond the good resulting
from the occupation of leisure time.
Having nothing to do is as great snare
to the young as it is to the full-grown
ana no greater benefits can be conferred
on youths than to teach them to convert
time now wasted, and often worse than
wasted, into pleasant means of recre-
alton and mental improvement. The
boy, whose time and mind are now oc-
cupled with marbles and kites, may be
Watt, Morse or Bessemer, in en-
bryo; and 1t is certainly an easy mat
ter 10 turn his thoughts and musings
into a channel which shall give full
scope to their faculties. And to most
boys the use of mechanical tools is the
most fascinating of all occupations. AS
logic and mathematics have Il value be-
yond accuracy III argument, and the
correct solution of problems, in that
they teach men the habit of using their
rejecting powers Systematically, so car
pentry, turning and other arcs are of
high Importance. These occupations
teach boys to think, to proceed from
initial causes to results, and not only TO
understand the nature and duty Of the
mechanical powers, but to observe their
effects ; and TO acquire knowledge by
actual experience, which is the best way
OF learning anything All the theories
culled out of books, leave an impression
on the mind and memory which is
slight compared with that of the prac-
tical experience of the true mechanic.
Our advice is to all who have the great
responsibility of the charge of boys
Give them lathe or set of carpenters
tools, or even blacksmith tools. Give
their minds turn toward the solid and
useful side Of life. You will soon see
the result in increased activity of their
thinking capabilities, and the direction
OF their ideas toward practical results I;
and, still more obviously, in the avoid
ance of idle mischief and nonsense (to
degradation), which are, to too great an
extent, the pastime of the generation
which is TO succeed u.s.

Boys Declaration of independence.


Pittsburgh boys have held meeting
and resolved TO have larger liberties.
Here Is their declaration OF sentiments
and purposes
ReSOI0ed, That we put our best feet
foremost In the great cause, and fling
to the roaring hurricane our banner in
scrbed Free Vacation and Boys
Rights.
Second-We will go in swimming
whenever we darn please, and won't
come any extra shenanigan about get
ting our hair dry to sell the folks at
home, and that we will have shirts to
wear so that the big fellows won't laugh
at us when we are undressing and max
ing our toilets by the sad river waves.
Thlrd-We are willing to do the
square thing by our parents, but ant
cut for tending to babies, and we won't
do any manual or girlual labor about
home that does not properly come
within boys sphere, and not that if it
interferes with the hours of play, which
health demands boys should have, viz. !:
Between o'clock in the a. H. and 8 in
the p. m, with the necessary intermis-
sions for meals.
Fourth-And be it enacted that straps
and taws and cowhides nor yet slippers
will have any effect in this rebellion If
they try that game, it will be good-by,
John, for errands, and we shall ever
pray. That's the kind OF hair pins that
we are.

And seldom with call

The world knocks TO and fro:
My archery is all unlearned,
And grief against myself has turned
My arrows and my bow!

My heart is panied with scorn and slight

Aud friends grow strangely cool.
No skies so blue or so serene

AS clothed the playground tree.
All things l loved are altered so!
Nor does il ease my heart to know
That change resides in me

The trowsers made of corduroy,
Well linked with black and red;
The crownless hat, ne'er deemed an i'll !

Repose upon my head
O Cor the lessons learned by heart!
Az, though the very birch's smart

Beneath the stroke, and even ind

To obtain light Instantly without tb,

To obtain light instantly without the
use of a match and without the danger
of setting a fire, take an oblong phial
of the whitest and clearest glass; put
into it a piece of phosphorus about the
size of pea, upon which pour some
olive oil, heated to the boiling point,
filling the phial about one-third full,
and then seal the phial Theoretically. To
use it, remove the cork and allow the
air to enter the phial, and then recork
it. The whole empty space in the bot
tie will then become luminous, and the
light obtained will be equal to that of
lamp. AS soon as the light grows
weak its power can be increased by
opening the phial and allowing fresh
supply of air to enter. In winter 1t is
sometimes necessary to heat the phiai
between the hands to increaseth fluid
ity of the oil. Thus prepared, the phiai
may be used by the watchmen
in all magazines where explosive or IN
hammable materials are stored.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN ST. JoE.-Charles
Shoman, respectable colored barber
of st. Joseph, Mich, wasrecently denied
board at the ST. Charles and Hoyt
Hotels unless he would consent to eat
after all the rest got through. Con-
siderable feeling is aroused by the
action of the hotel keepers, as Mr.. Sho-
man is man of worth and respectable
ity. The hotel men have published a
card, saying that if Shoman is insulted
they are "sorry for it, and hope he will
forget the insult, and stay away from
the houses, together with his friends,
both black and white" This was in
answer to a card of Shoman's published
in the Herald.

loved the unenyiable reputation Of being
one CT the worst rum holes in Vermont,
and doubtless there are many present
tonight who will bear me out IN stating
that this was not an undeserved reputa-
ton. [ am told that it was no unusual

or five young men to be helpIessly drunk,
while on extraordinary days, such as
very cold or very hot days, fourth Of Ju-
", etc., these numbers were increased
in proportion to the greatness of the oc-
casion. Even boys attending the village
school kept liquor in bottles and tin cans
under the old red blacksmith shop, close

he was in town with his wife, they saw
a platoon of young men 60 down under
