A Rich YoUSG MAN.-We call him
''Bobolink, and ''Pappoose, and "Old
Blessed" and all sorts of names-you
know how they call babies. Your great
six-year-old Harry would not think him
much of a fellow, 1 suppose,-this
small man of six months,-but he
thinks he is, and so does his mother,
and his father, and all the family.
He considers himself very rich, too,
or, as grown up people say, ''well-off. 3"
He has such white, round little pegs
fixed on to his hands for him to play
with. He sticks them up and looks at
them sidewise, and edgeway, and every
way, and they never get lost like your
playthings,-they are always on hand.
They are so nice to eat, too. First one
fist goes into his mouth, then the other,
then both fists. The only trouble IS he
cannot swallow them, they are so big,
or something. Too bad, isn't it But
he doesn't get discouraged. Why, it
was only yesterday he was trying to
swallow large blanket shawl and all
his petticoats then he plunged his
head into a big feather pillow, and
opened his mouth at that in a way which
must have been very alarming to the
pillow.
Sometimes he gets hold Of those
little pink fellows down below. He
thinks they are the cunningest. There
IS such drove of them He can't
count them himself, but believe there
are as many as ten. One of them "goes
to market" and one of them "stays at
home, and there is a little mite of q
one that don't get any bread and but
ter. How he does squeal. Dear dear
You would think this young man would
cry to hear him but he don't; the
ripples of laughter come gurgling ND
his little fat throat, until, when at last
the poor piggy gives his very hardest
squeal, he almost explodes with glee.
rs SO pleasant to have Jolly little fat
pigs of ones own to play with Ten
live pink piggies just think of it But
that Is not all-O no! He owns a most
lovely piece of red flannel, which his
grandma gave him, that is very valuable.
IL is such a pretty thing and so bright
He turns 1t over, and views it in every
light, and tastes of it. If you should
lay a ten-thousand-dollar greenback
down beside it, he would grasp in pre-
ference that gorgeous, magnificent rag.
Iou couldn't buy that of him with ten
or twenty thousand dollars.
Then he has great many fine musical
instruments that he plays on splendidly.
Every newspaper he can get hold of he
turns into a piano or organ. He
scratches his nails on them, and digs
holes through them, and you ought to
hear how beautifully they do rattle but
the brown paper that came around the
sugar is the best, that is so crackly and
high toned.

OSE sweefly- solemn thought
Comes TO me DER and DER,
I'm nearer to my Fathers house
Than ever was before.
Nearer the bound Of life.
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving my cross.
Nearer wearing my crown

The Fate Of an Egg Eating Hen.

A way to prevent hens from eating their
eggs is to fll al egg with q solution Of pepper
and pu, it back 10 The nest. A Danbury man
has tried this aud says it works like charm.

egg and placed it in the nest Of the criminal
Pretty soon tic ben came around aud TOOK hold.

Hints to tho Girls.

An old stager. who has been thro the
mill, gives the following parental advice to
tho girls;
Take lessons on the piano, and learn to
paint and sing. but let your mother do the
washing.
Do worsted work, and mako nice little
neckties Tor the heather, but don't acquire that
mystic art to cook pork aud beans"
Go 70 boar1ng-scho5l and pursue somo
French, Spanish aud German. but neglect
your good old mother English
Faily deny the soit impeachment that you
are ougoged. Treat your young sprig pre-
cisely as il you were ashamed Of him. Its
complimentary anyhow, to the young spris.
When you laugh. laugh hearty. Your
gold filings may be seen. 1t is a card for the
dentist
Tell people who are posted, and consequent
ly know better, that you are exactly nineteen
last or next SUMNER you forget which.
They'll believe il, you know.
Say naughty things Of your rival nnd next
door uoighbor, and speak dsparasingly Of
Miss Q's nose. But entirely overlook your
own incongruitios.
BY all means tote nice little dog after
you on tho street There is a chance Of you
being taken for some one else, while it speaks
volumes-for the dog.
Walk four abreast, aud keep tho centre Of
tbe sidewalk, but never or moment allow
yourself to be dsconccred II shows con-
sileyaton for the Happiness Of others.
Finally, quit being girls, by marrying some
old bald-beadod buffer, with lots Of "iin," and
ruthlessly thrust aside man Of brains with a
becoming competency.
