The Little PappoOse.

THE children were having splendid
time-Dotty, Dick and Baby May-out
under the great walnut tree that shaded
the house. Dick had the hammer, Dot
ty her dolls and all her little housekeep-
ing arrangements, while baby sat on her
bright woolen rug, contentedly sucking
her pink thumb and watching the others
at their play. So their mamma ventured
to take book and rest awhile.
Presently Dotty spied some round,
green walnuts in the grass. "Oh, Dick,
these are good to eat! You just crack
one with your hammer and see." So
Dick pounded away with all his baby
strength, but couldn't crack the nut.
Then Dotty tried, but didn't succeed
any better, but new idea came into her
mind. ooh, Dick, see this funny juice
that runs out of the shell. It's awful
bitter, but let's squeeze this little cup
full and play its cider" .'.-. ...
So they pounded the green shells from
dozen nuts, and squeezed them with
their little white hands until they got
tired Of that.
Then Dotty thought of something else.
"Just see our hands, Dick! They look
like all the Indians round here. I'm
going to wash baby's face in It and play
she's little pappoose."
Dear little pet! She didn't object to
the washing, as it seemed to be some.
thing very interesting to the others; SO
Dotty covered the sweet baby face with
juice and was proceeding to rub it over
her snow-white neck and arms, when
unfortunately, some got into her great,
brown eyes.
The next moment mamma was startled
by piercing screams and cries, and
rushed out to find her baby transformed
into regular brownie, her beautiful
eyes swollen and smarting with pain, hel
soft round cheeks and smooth forehead
burning and blistered by the poisonous
walnut juice.
Such sorry time as they had OF it FOL
awhile!

Hints to Girls and Boys on Good Man
nerS,

NEVER look over another person, when
he is writing letter, or reading that
which does not concern you.
Never enter anOther's room abruptly.
Have you special business? Knock
gently at the door, or ask permission to
enter.
Never select the best articles of food
at the table. Wait till you are helped.
Be modest, polite, temperate.
Never ask trifling or foolish questions,
or inquire about things with which you
are already familiar. GA FOOLS voice is
known by multitude of words"
Never speak unless you have some
thing to say" think twice before you
speak once" "In the multitude of
words there wanteth not sin, but he that
refraineth his lips is wise" prov. X. 49,
Never dissemble, feign yourself sick
or asleep, or unwell, to avoid correction
or some other unpleasant thing. This
is species of lying for which the Lord
will not hold you guiltless. keep thy
tongue from evil and thy lips from
speaking guile" "Put away from thee
forward mouth, and perverse lips put
far from thee.' Lying lips are an
abomination to the Lord"
Never be glad or rejoice at another's
calamity or misfortune, even though he
be your enemy. "He that is glad at
calamities shall not be unpunished."
If thine enemy hunger feed him; if he
thirst give him drink; for so doing thou
shalt heap Goals of fire on his head" "Be
not overcome with evil, but overcome
evil with good"
Never mock or ridicule the poor, the
infirm or the a ged. "He that mocketh
the poor reproacheth his Maker" "Bet-
ter is the poor that walketh in his integ-
rity than he that Is perverse in his lips
and is a fool" prov. xix ~
Never set up your own will in opposi.
ton to your parents or teachers. Sub
NIT to them calmly, sweetly, cheerfully.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idol
airy"
When addressed by your parents or
superiors give immediate attention.
Be kind and gentle to all, to your
brothers and sisters invariably.
When a favor Is conferred always ex-
press your gratitude politely to the per-
son who bestows it.-Erchange.

you AND I.

You count your dollars by the thousands,
I my pennies by the score;
Your coachman drives you in your carriage,
Street-cars pass my humble door;
You can ride for daily pleasure,
to church, but seldom more.
You are robed in costly fabrics,
am clad in cotton gown;
Music fills your halls and parlors,
Songs of birds for me float down;
Sheltered are your winter roses,
Mine are lying crisp and brown. .z..--
For your friends recostly pleasures,
More than l would dare to guess;
Mine in welcomes find such treasures
As have-nay, words express
Meagerly my joy in greeting
Many tried and welcome guest.
You have ease and / have labor;
l have cares you cannot know;
Wants have l, but would not barter
My dear home for all your show.
Those who love me love sincerely
Gift that wealth cannot bestow.

A Funeral by Force.

A PoTTsvILLE (Pa.) paper gives an &C
count of an extraordinary scene at
funeral near that place. An old man
named Burke was killed at Scranton,
and his body was taken to fremont by
his two sons for interment, as Burke had
lot in cemetery there and son
buried in it. The funeral cortege ar
rived, and found grave dug The cof
fin had been lowered into it, when the
Rev. Father Cox appeared on the scene
and ordered the body to be lifted out. A
certificate OF death by reverend father
of Scranton was demanded before the
funeral could go on, and the reverend
gentleman asked to be shown the stakes
marking the lot. One of the sons of the
deceased suggested that the stakes had
probably been pulled up, and said: 1" If
it isn't all right stake me out lot and
I'll pay you for it," The reply was: l
don't want any argument with a puppy
like you" Then tall, brawny fellow
broke in and said: "We've brought the
body 14O miles to bury it here, and here
we will bury it." The reverend gentle
man asked the last speaker name,
and at the same time struck him in the
face; then, stepping back, came near
falling into the open grave. The man
who was struck handled his pistol, and a
son of the deceased grabbed the holy
man by the throat, saying: You're a
| prettv hip man but not hip enough to
lick me-"
The coats went off the Scranton funer-
al party, and all were ready for action.
The clergyman finally broke away from
young Burke, and, drawing pistol, said
he was prepared for such party. All
the pistols in the crowd were now drawn
against him. He was outnumbered, and
the body of old Burke was buried under
the muzzles of dozen pistols. All
which was very much out of order at
| Christian burial.

Mamma bathed the poor eyes and face
in every soothing lotion she could devise,
until at last the little thing sobbed her.
self to sleep.
In few hours the pain was gone, and
pet could open her eyes. But, Oh! what
forlorn-looking baby she was!
The children's father was missionary
among the Indians in New York State,
and these little ones, with their golden
hair and snow-White complexion, were a
marvel of beauty and brightness among
these children of the forest. But for
weeks Baby May was as brown as any
little pappoose that you might see peering
over its mothers shoulder from COM
Portable perch on her back. Dotty was
very penitent, and tried to comfort
mamma by saying:
Never mind, mamma. If anybody
sees her they'll think she's some poor
little Indian baby; they won't think she
belongs to us."-Yo,ah's Companion.

PULL TOGETHER.

BE quiet, boys, if tot are able,
While relate little fable
About thrifty mouse and toad
That undertook to draw load
Together on dusty road;
But never stopped to question whether
Their natural gifts would work together
The mouse drew steady on his string,
But toady gave one desperate spring;
Up went poor mousy like kite"
And broke his neck bone in the flight.
The moral plainly says to all;
"Pull together or not at all"

POLITE RUFFIANlSM.

The candid believer in the influence

cepted the doctrine of noJlesse obzige

motive power with the highly-placed
world to which it applies He ex-

noble natures have badge of their

Our candid believer scarcely accepts

them by some inward, passing phase of
consciousness, is as false as it is pagan. And
yet, to-day, this very view Of its growth,
holds Christendom as in death grip, more
than half of it. Salvation, according to
the bible, comes from practical life, and the
certificate Of it is in the worth of a man s

it is to enforce the virtue andthe praise and

Let there be, therefore, no uncertain
