I've stood in many a splendid hall,
Whose lights on visions of beauty fel;.
I've talked with many q gay coquette,
And danced with many . dashing belle;
But as here I sit, in my quiet room,
A secret 1 must and will contest
The only girl that has won my heart,
Is the neat young gffi in the calico dress.
She has no jewels upon her hands;
No bells are ~jingiing about her ears;
But the jewels Of richest and rarest worth
Modest beauty and truth are hers.
Lovely as any flower in spring,
Yet unaware of her loneliness;
Therefore I choose her from all the world,
The sweet little girl in the calico dress.
She does not wear that horrible thing,
Which fashion calls the Grecian bend
Hateful fashion, with awkward hands,
Spelling all that she tries to mend.
Her voice is gentle, and low, and sweet.
And full of womanly tenderness ;
A loving and faithful heart has she,
Ny own little girl in the calico dress.
Ambitious mothers and Haunting bellies,
You may hang your harps on the willow
tree;
The girl that wears the calico dress
Is the dearest girl in the world to me.
/ will not tell you the n,aiden's name,
No matter how much nor how long you guess /;
But this 1 know, in q month or 30
1 shall marry the girl in the calico dress.

A Talking Mule.

The man whom ! am going to tell you
about, could make dollies and birds
seem to have long talks together. He
did not move his lips, but used his voice
so that it sounded as if the dolles really
talked and it was very funny to hear
the brides say a, b, c's, and see the dol
lies teaching them.
Well, one day this gentleman saw a
man beating his mule. The poor mule
had a very heavy load the day was
very hot, and the man had lost his
temper. He beat the poor mule, and
then kicked it until it trembled so it
could not move. Suddenly, the mule
seemed to say /: "You unmerciful man,
how can ] move when You beat me SO
that 1 tremble all over? Take off half
my load and treat me kindly, and l will
do twice as much work for you"
The driver was so frightened he al
most fell on the ground. He looked to
see who was near him ; but only a little
gray-haired man was quietly crossing
the street. a. " .c-
The old man had made his voice seem
to come from the mule. This is called
y~entri1oquism. He did not stop to tell
the driver who it was that spoke. That
man never beat a dumb animal again,
for he said "They are not SO dumb as
you think-"-HearM and Home.

Don't Throw stones.

Boys don't throw stones! I have
looked at it from every side, and it is a
dangerous business. Nine times out Of
ten the spirit that whispers to boys that
throw stones, and prompts them to do it,
is an idle, mischievous, careless, wicked
spirit. 1t says every time it seesa stone
in Charles path, without giving him
time to think what may come of it,
"Now Just see how far, or how straight,
orhow high you can throw it." Away it
goes, and "Oh /! just my luck !" a win
dow is broken.
1 was once in a beautiful new church,
The sexton came down from the gale
ry Shaking his head and gritting his
teeth. He had little round stone in
his hand. 81 wish l had the boy that
threw that" said he, I'd jerk him out
of his boots" l could scarcely blame
him for being so rough, as he pointed
up to one of the handsome windows that
had a hole in it where the stone came
through. Wondered just how the boy
who threw it felt when he heard it
crash. I have no doubt that he looked
first this way and then that and then
ran away like coward.
/ pity the boy that finds any amuse-
ment in throwing stones at birds ortheir
nests, or among a herd of cows or flock
of geese. It's every time the old story
over again of the frogs who said to the
boys, "That may be fun to you, butts
death to u.s."
But I've known something worse to
come of throwing stones than all this.
A bright-eyed little boy was playing on
the sidewalk II day a larger boy
wanted one of his p~laythings and was
refused. Quick as a fash of light
came the thought, "I1l pay you for
that !" and q stone flying from the large
boys hand struck the little fellow be-
tween the shoulders. If the boy who
threw that stone could have seen n
of the hours of suffering that followed
that cruel, revengeful act / am sure he
would never be very happy again. 1t
was not only one hour of suffering, but
four long years, and then death. Sun
day-SchooI Adrocate.

Or that the brief and plain must needs be weak.
To whom can this be new, who once has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men speak
When want or woe or fear is in the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like a SHREK
Pressed from the sore heart, or q strange wild note
Sung by some fay or fend? There is strength
Which dies if stretched too far or spun too fine,
Which has more height than breadth, more depth
than length. r
And he that will, may take the sleek, fat phrase
Which glows but burns not, though it beam and
shine
Light, but not heat-a flash, but not a blaze

cradle came a small pair of wings,
white and feecy, and light as air, and
they stood out around the bare little
house like a ball.
Then the little brown and withered-
up mothers knew that they had finished
their work, and the babies could take
car of themselves ; so they were salts
fed and happy, and died. And then
came along playful breeze, gave the
little house q shake, and away went
every baby on its own wings, and left
the droll little house deserted and
bare. y
And the babies-stin in their cradles
flew away off over the fields, playing
with the breeze, and seeing the world,
till the sun went down and it grew dark.
Then each one sank to the ground and
settled itself, the comical cradles burst
open, and each little baby came out,
ready to build a house Just like its
mothers.
Maybe you think this is q fairy story,
but it's every word true. And the gorge
Gus little house, with its patient little
mothers, and dozens of babies, is, after

you look carefully into one you'll see

A SELL, NOT FOR SALE.

Amiable s~hopkeepers deserve to be
canonized. Here is en- illustration of
the trials to which they are constantly
subjected. One midsummer day, when
-Eolus slept, and the thermometer stood
in the nineties, a lady entered a store
not a thousand miles OFF, and inquired
for parasols. The obGging proprietor
spread out before her samples of q large
and varied stock. "Have you any o
this shade q size larger ?" said the lady.
The size larger was produced. 81 think
OH the whole I prefer the size smaller"
The size smaller was presented. Have

out. Haven't. You any of this kind
with a crooked handle ?" The shade
with the crooked handle appeared.
Have you any with a crooked handle
not quite so heavy?" said the lady, and
she continued her inquiries for every
conceivable size, shade, and weight pos
sible in the line of parasols. After
nearly an hour had been thus consumed,
the fair shopper gathered up her hand
kerchief and gloves and moved for the
door. "Can't 1 sell you a parasol?"
inquired the exhausted proprietor. 80

Learn q Baby.

Jack heard avery strongyoung farmer
say n day that his baby brother had
taught him a capital less"n-that was
to stretch himself often. Baby did it
for some wise reason, he knew /; so he
had followed the example. Stretching
makes you grow, makes you supple and
active, and is altogether a good thing.
Follow the baby's plan, my dears /;
stretch your arms, legs, neck and body
for a few moments, morning, o and
night, until further notice. = From

IT has been demonstrated that a bee

and fifteen times its own weight. A
man of ordinary muscular power is
fully one hundred times feebler; and,
had an elephant such comparative

of 5000, 900 pounds. The flea, too,

A FUNERAL THAT DIDN'T CONE OFF.
A good story, which is also strictly
true, is told of a Carroll county ILL
NJ. D.. The Doctor, who was a pious
man and accustomed to minister to
minds diseased" as we'll as bodies, had
attended the daughter of a suffering
patron for some time without seeing the
Improvement in the patient which he
and her father had earnestly hoped for.
At length the end seemed to be very
near, and the physician informed the
relatives of his patient that there was
no ground for hope. The girl must die,
and that very soon. He could do nc
more. The stricken parents, "hoping
against hope" resolved to call another
doctor to see the case, and, ii he should
be willing to undertake it, to commit
the patient to his care. They did SO,
and, under the attentions of the new
medical man, the young lady rallied,
and was soon considered out of danger.
At this period the jubilant father was
met upon the street one day by Physi-
clan No. l, who, after uttering some re-
marks calculated to comfort an afflicted
and sorrowing man, kindly asked when
the funeral ceremonies were to occur.
"D-doctor," said the suffering man,
"that f-f-funeral has been ind:d.dcf

Take or Your Hat.

Don't forget to take off your hat when
you enter the house. Gentlemen never
keep their hats on in the presence of
ladies, and if you always take yours off
when mamma and the girls are by, you
will not forget yourself or be mortified
when a guest or stranger happens to be
in the parlor. Habit IS stronger than
anything else, and you will always find
that the easiest way to make sure of
doing right on all occasions is to get in
the habit of doing right. Good man
ners cannot be put on at a moments
warning.

The Droll Little House.

Once upon a time a beautiful little
house was bRilt in the grass by the side
of a brook. It was put so quietly that
nobody noticed it till it was all done
and the family were in. 1t was a droll
little house, neither white nor brown,
but a beautiful green ontside.
For some time every door and window
was shut. and no one could see what
was going ON inside. But at last, when
everything was ready, and all in order,
from top to toe, the little house was
suddenly thrown open, and all the
world invited to call. -y-
And they did call, I tell you-the
whole Butterfly family, in gorgeous
dresses OF red and gold-the palmer
dressed, but highly respectable. Bee
family, and I can't tel you how many
of the modest Insect family.
The little house was well worth going
to see, too. It was no common build
ing, made of wood or brick, with plain
bare walls, by no means! Every oom
and there were dozens of them-was
hung with the most elegant gold
colored curtains. They were finer than
silk and softer and daintier than any
thing you ever saw, and all fragrant
with a delightful, fresh perfume. 1t
was a home Fl for any queen, I tell you.
Almost every room of this curious
house was a nursery, and in each one
sat a patient little mother. Droll little
creatures they were, dressed in pale
gold, and stirring an inch away
from tie cradles of their babies, with
funny little husbands besides, dressed
in the same lovely color, and wearing
brown caps on their heads.
The husbands were so tall they could
stretch up and look over the golden
walls into the wide world outside, and
they got uneasy and longed to go out.
But the little mothers would not go,
and they didn't want to leave them, so
they stayed in the nursery too.
Every night when the sun went down
the curtains were all drawn close to-
gether, and the whole family went to
sleep, and nobody could see anything
but the plain little green house. But
the first rays of the sun opened the
whole house again.
This life went on for some time, till
the little mothers grew brown with age,
the gorgeous curtains faded, wore out,
and at last were blown away, the tall
husbands got tired of staying and went
away. and left the little mothers alone
with their babies. They had no cur
tains to keep them warm, the little
house was open night and day, and all
the winds could blow right through it.
A sad change it seems to us, but
little did the mothers care. They did
not mind the cold, and they were not
afraid OF the dark, and the babies we're
growing every day bigger, and would
soon be able to care for themselves.
And then the little mothers would be
satisfied and happy.
They were the most comical babies
you ever saw, each one cuddled up in
an odd little cradle, shaped like an egg
and carved and ornamented outside.
They never cried and, if they had
plenty to eat, and all the time to sleep,
that was al they wanted.
So the little mothers kept them fed,
and watched while they grew browner
and browner till they were nearly ready
to go. At last, on EACH dro11 little
