Keep the Birthdays.

KEEP the birthdays. They belong ex-
clusively to and are treasured among the
sweetest memories of home. Do not let
anything prevent some token, be it ever
so slight, to show that it is remembered.
Birthdays are great events to children.
For one day they feel they are heroes.
The special buildings are made expressly
for them; new jacket, trousers with
pockets, or the first pair of boots is
donned, and big brothers and sisters sink
into insigniicance beside little Char
lie" who is six to-day" and is soon go
ing to be man." Fathers who have
half a dozen little ones to care for are apt
to forget birthdays-the come so often.
Sometimes they are too busy, and some
times they are bothered; but II they
only knew how much such souvenirs are
cherished by their children years after
ward, when, away from the hearthstone,
they have none to remind them that they
have added one more year to the perhaps
weary round of life, or to wish them, in
the good, old-fashioned phrase, "many
happy returns of their birthday" hey
would never permit ady cause to step in
between them and a parents privilege.

Light.

Light is a force, and science holds that
it is made up Of impulses. Nature has
been shown to conform all kinds of
dynamical effects to rythmical pulsing,
or wave-like action, and the impulses of
light are held to be Of the same kind
There are at any rate measurable effects
which are unequal in the different col
ored lights, and the scale has been deter
mined. In an inch Of violet light it is
shown that there are 40 less than 1000
waves, statement IN which there is
nothing extraordinary or impossible, as
Nobert, the German optician, is in the
habit of ruling his microscOpical test
glasses at rates all the way from 100000
to 100000 per inch. But when we are
told that the ray enters the eye at the rate
of $4,000 miles per second, and-as each
inch contains 81, 900 waves-that when we
are looking at violet object there are
$4,000, 100000, 900 beats upon the retina
each second, the statement battles all i'm
agination; we may accept but cannot I'M
derstand it. In the attempt to penetrate
the nature Of light we are lost in the mys-
teries of the infinite. Yet the modes of
its action have been determined, and they
furnish the most splendid example we
know of the infexibleness and exactitude
Of what are called the laws of nature

The First of April.

Walter and Mark were two little boys
who had heard of the tricks played on
April Fools Day." as the LIST of April
used to be called Walter and Mark
thought they would go back to the old
fashion and try to play some tricks.
Their first trick was a very harmless
one. A string was attached to ball, and
the ball was pulled along on the sidewalk
while Walter and Mark kept out of sight
at a street corner. The bali seemed to be
rolling along of its own accord, for the
string was so fine that it could hardly be
seen.
A little fellow whose name was Peter,
seeing nice ball on the ground, stopped
to pick it up; but every time he tried to
touch it it would move away from his
grasp. He did not know what to make
Of it. At last he discovered the trick !;
and then Walter and Mark cried out,
Oh, you April fool"
Having succeeded so finely in their
first experiment, Walter and Mark re-
solved to try another trick at once; and
this time their joke was decidedly objec-
tionable. Seeing young lady crossing
the muddy street, Walter cried out, |
beg pardon, ma'am; but just look at your
stockings"
The young lady stopped short, looked
down at her ankles, before and behind,
and came near being run over by a coach,
before she learned that trick had been
played on her Then the two boys point
ed at her, and cried, ooh, you A ril
foOlr'
They now began to grow quite proud
of their success, and never once noticed
that a policeman, with brass buttons on
his coat and a staff in his hand, was
watching them closely.
Seeing cOuntryman buy some oranges
at stall, and then put his purse in his
pocket and move on, they went up to
him, and said, did you drop some
money just now?"
The man took out his purse, counted
his money, and said, 81 miss no money.
Have You picked up any?" ooh, you
April foOll" said Walter
At this point the policeman came up,
and, Selling both boys by the arm, said,
Come with me to the station"
" 10 the station 2" cried they, in great
fear
" Yes, to the station. You have been
breaking the law
1--WE were only III fun" whimpered
" want to go home to my mother"
whined Walter
But the policeman wanted to play his
April trick just as much as the boys had
wanted to play theirs. So he took them
to the station, to man he called Judge"
and told him what the boys had been do
ing.
Prisoners at the bar" cried the Judge,
"what have you to say why sentence
should not be pronounced?"

The Ups and Downs of City Life.

HERE is phase of city life and at the
same time forcible reflex of the hard
ness of the times on which we have fall
en-: Yesterday morning the son-in-law of
one of New York's most wealthy and re-
spected citizens was to have taken his
place on the platform of city car as its
conductor-a place which he had sue
ceeded in securing only after much effort
and with actual starvation staring him in
the face, having previously had all his en-
deavors to secure employment meet with
failure. A brother-in-law, for many years
holding among the highest of our judicial
positions, hearing by chance of the dis
grace (?) which threatened the family,
prevented him from taking the place by
promising to pay him an amount equal to
what he would have earned until by his
influence better position could be pro-
cured for him. Another brother-in law,
who few years back, through his inf1u-
ence With Peter B. Sweeny, was one of
the most impudent and conceited of the
city's assumed dictators, is said to be to-
day pensioner on the bounty of a few
friends. Does not this little story carry
its OWE MORALLY. 7. Graphic.

to give them but plug tobacco and bay
nam, which he carried for his hair, and he
knew they were not healthy. The first
time the train stopped he bolted out and
bought pie. When he returned one of
the twins had tumbled off the seat and
had broken nose; but he stuffed them
both with the pie gorge. Then Smiley
was in a worse case than the very verge
of insanity, and his reason was all but
dethroned when policeman entered the
car and seized him on the authority of a
telegram from Pittsburgh, on charge of
kidnapping. He spent the night in Jail;
and was then released on bail. He wants
to find the father of those twins. He
yearns to tell him something, and to
tumble among his hair.-Mar Adeter.

The Unfortunate Smiley,

When Smiley, of Pittsburgh, started for
Philadelphia the other day, woman
occupied the seat in front of him with
twin infants. Just before the train moved
off the woman asked Smiley to hold the
babies for moment while she went to q
drug store across the street after a new
bottle top. He took the little ones, and
before the woman returned the train
started. Smiley was in agony, and when
the babies began TO cry 10 words can de-
scribe his misery. All the passengers
were looking at him, and as he handled
the babies up and down, one on each
knee, the perspiratiOn streamed from
every pore. This kind of thing continued
until dark, and then, as the conductor
refused to have anything to do with the
infants, poor old Smiley put them in his
own berth, and tried to soothe them. But
the more he tried the more they howled
and he set up alongside of them the whole
night, utterly wretched, while the other
passengers swore at him, and threw boots
at his head, and called him hard names,
because he wouldn't keep the youngsters
quiet. By the time morning came Smiley
was pretty near crazy, and the twins were
almost starved to death. He had nothing

And then, seeing that they trembled,
and that tears were in their eyes, the
good-natured Judge took two apples out
of his pocket, and, giving one to each boy,
said:
=" Here, you little jokers, your sentence
is that you eat these apples. But take a
little good advice with them. Practical
Joking is not crime; but it is very apt
to violate the law of good manners and of
good nature. Don't indulge in it more
than once a year, and remember that q
joke ceases to be a joke if you carry it too

The Terrible PIayfeIlow.

One day there came into a country
town IN the south of Germany a man
Leading big dancing bear. He was very
urea ana hungry, so he went to one of
the INNS IN the town, and having tied I'D
the bear sat down in the tap-room to eat
his dinner.
While he sat there three little children
were playing merrily in one of the up
stairs rooms. They were quite alone and
very noisy until one of them heard a
curious noise on the stairs, to which they
all began to listen. Tramp, tramp, tramp,
crank, crank, crank! What a heavy footI
Who can it bes
Suddenly the door flew open, and in
came the bear-the great shaggy bear.
with its clanking chainl In a terrible
fright at this unexpected visit, each of
the children ran into a corner to hide.
But the bear found them all out. and put
MS cold nose quite close to them, for he
was not muzzled now, Asnufnng at them,
put ala them no harm. Poor, harmless
ola beast he was very much altered
since the days when he hid in the forest,
OF cIlnDeo up the great trees to steal
honey left there by wild bees.
He must be big dog" thought the
eldest BOY, and SO he began to pat and
gu onC iAiAil' IH0A Tie pear stretched
himself out at full length on the floor.
and all the little ones came up to him
and began to play with him like q
big puppy. The youngest sat down.
nestled his curly head in the
black fur, and the eldest boy began
to thump away with all his might upon a
little drum he had. Suddenly the bear
stood upon his hind legs and began to
dance. Then what cry of delight came
from the children! You should have
heard it. What glorious fun!
Each of the little boys had toy musket
with which they had been playing sol
diers, and they gave one of these to the
bear, and to their immense delight he held
1t tight and firm and shouldered it just
like soldier.
So the drum was banged and they all
began to march, the room shaking again
with the bears heavy feet, thump, thump,
thump! bang, bang! left, right, right,
left! march away.
In the midst of all this noise and
tramping the door suddenly opened and
there stood the poor mother. You should
have seen her. Her face was white. She
could not speak for fear.
But the children set up a cry of ioy:
ooh, look, look, mammal! we are all
playing at soldiers with this fine playfel-
low"
While this was going on the poor man
went into the yard to get his bear, and
finding he had broken loose came up
stairs to look for him; and so the children
lost their shaggy playfellow, although.-I
believe their mother was not at all sorry
to see him taken Chttdrena's Hour.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
EDINBURGH.

A WELCOME BY HR. ALFRED TBNNYsoN TIE POET
LAUREATE.
THE son of him with whom we strove for power
Whose will is lord thro' all his world domain--
Who made the serf man, and burst his chain
Has given our Prince his own Imperial Flower,
Ale1androwna.
And welcome, Russian flower peoples pride
From love to love, from home to home you go,
From mother unto mother, stately bride,
Marie Ale1androwna.
The golden news along the steppes is blown,
And at thy name the Tartar tents are stirred
Elburz ana all the Caucasus have heard;
And all the sulry palms OF India known,
Alexandrowna.
The voices of our universal sea
On capes Of Afric as on cliffs OF Kent,
The Maoris and that Isle OF Continent,
And loyal pines of Canada murmur thee,
Marie Alexandrownai
Fair empires branching both in lusty lifel
Yet Harold's England fell to Norman swords;
Yet thine own land has bow d to Tartar hordes
Since English Harold gave its throne wife,
Alexandrownal
For thrones and peoples are as waits that swing,
And float and fall, in endless ebb and flow;
But who love best have best the grace to know
That Love by right Divine is deathless King,
Marie Alexandrownai
Aad Love has led thee to the stranger land,
Where men are bold and strongly say their say;
See, empire upon empire smiles to day,
AS thou with thy young lover hand in hand,
Alexandrownal
So now thy fuller life is in the West,
Whose hand at home gracious to thy poor;
Thy name was blest within the narrow door;
Here also, Marie, shall thy name be blest,
Marie Alexandrowna!
Shall fears and jealous hatred flame again?
Or at thy coming, Princess everywhere,
The blue heaven break and some Diviner air
Breathe thro' the world and change the hearts of
men,
AlexandrOwna?
But hearts that change not, love that cannot
cease,
And peace be you. 5, the peace of soul in soull
And howsoever this wild world may roll,
Between your peoples truth and manful peace,

A Squire Bamb0OZIed.

1T is fact pretty generally known that
in order to dispose of disorderly charac-
tiers promptly at the State fairs Justice
of the Peace is continually ON the fair
grounds. A West Troy Justice attended to
this business last fall, and many offenders
were brought before the "big Judge.''
Among the number arrested was a young
man having the appearance of half
witted, Overgrown country boy. He was
detected IN "scaling the fence" and
brought by policeman to the Office ofthe
Justice. The lubberly boy admitted the
charge, but pleaded in extenuation that
he had no money, and his desire to see
{" the show' had induced him to commit
the wrong. The Squire quickly SEN
fenced him to Jail for thirty days or to
pay fine of five dollars The culprit
began to cry, saying he had no money,
but the Squire was memorable, and unless
the five dollars were paid at once the out
side world would be stranger to him for
thirty days. After continuing to blub-
Der" for some time the boy said his
mother had just sent him to the savings
bank in Albany to deposit fifty dollars
and he had the money with him.
Well" said the Justice, ifyou would
avoid going to jail, take five dollars of
your mOtnerS money, anu 20 nome anu
explain matters to her" The boy finally
drew off one of his cowhide boots, and,
taking from 1t small piece of newspa-
per, displayed a ffty-dollar bill rolled
within. With a sorrowful look and
a trembling hand the bank-note was
handed to His Honor" who returned
forty-ive dollars change. This done, the
Justice directed the policeman to take the
boy by the collar and thrust him out of
the gate, which was done by the blue-coat,
who added by way of emphasis a good,
sound kick.
As the pretended greenhorn reached
the road he was laughed at by the crowd,
and in reply said: have finished my
business in there" The next day the
Squire proceeded to deposit the fifty
dollar greenDack in the bank. when he
was informed that it was counterfeit.
Imagine the feelings of "the Court
" Sold" said he, land got the money"
The Justice has decided that appearances
are deceptive, and with regard to the
honesty of strangers "you can't most
always tell" The Squire will keep a
sharp lookout for country pumpkins
hereafter. TINS.
