Clara Morris has written to the New York
Graphic about her recent voyage eastward.
"Of course you know" she says, "that Kate
Field is on board. She pervades the whole
ship, walks about fifteen knots day, sings
like bird every evening, and makes herself
generally aggravating to q young woman of
about my. size who happens to be afflicted
with lively stomach that leaps and gambols
like frisky kid at play. The only moment
of real joy 1 have known since I came on

a Mouse Story.

One time Bob was moving q pile OF
old rails, and under the last one, among
the soft, dry grass, there was a cozy lit
tie bed, and in it o mother-mOuse and
six pink babies. They were nesting
close around her warm, furry body and
eating their little wee dinner OF warm
milk. What were they to do? The
whole roof was torn from their house,
and there they We're with the hot, sum-
mer sun ~twinXiing in their eyes, ana
beaming right down upon them. They
were so young and helpless that NOT
one of them could walk two steps. Bob
hurried to replace The rail again and
leave them rs comfortable as he had
found them. But the mother mouse,
not knowing whether he was friend or
foe, in a fine squeaking voice that
could hardly be understood by big
gross ears, seemed to say: "Oh, nay
beautiful Garlings I VIII not leave you
nor forsake you! Let us fee for our
lives ! Take held Of your mother, dears,
and she will p v you!"
The six little baby mice understood
we'll enough what she said, and they
| hurried and opened their mouths and
took hold just SIS if they were nursing,
and then the wise mother-mouse start
ed on & soft run in the direction Of =
pile OF stu1nps that 10y near the fence.
Bob stood and watched her, an3L SAID
it touched his heart in the tenderest
place, to gee, in the lowest of Gods
creatures, the devotion and beauty and
strength of q mothers love.
While she was running rs fast as
she could with her precious burden
dangling about her feet and legs, one
CT the little ones loosered it's bold and
fell off. Only for an instant did the
mother pause and look at it, as much as
10 say "How unfortunate [ can
hardly manage so many babies but you,
poor Plushy, must not be left behind
YOU. the weakest and dearest, and
sweetest baby of all and saying this,
she turned and took it up tenderly IL
her mouth, and with her head up "
good deal higher, she trotted on her
way and reached the pile OF stumps in
safety.
Ny father says he has often seen
mother-mice running with their babies
clinging to them in this same way, but
he never knew before of a baby
mouse carried in the mothers mouth,
even in extreme danger.-R. R. IN tho

So Johnny covered the chicken up,
and went off to his play, and the hen
clucked awhile and then remembered
her other eggs, and went,,back to them.
| And the chicken-well-what did the
chicken do? That I can't tell You, but
[ know what Johnny found the next
day /; and that was a very stiff little
chicken, with its toes all curled up, and
a dull film over its eyes. Johnny did
feel dreadfully then. He meant to be
so kind to the little thing, and now :
"Well," thought Johnny at last.
Maybe 'twould have growed mp a
wicked chicken, and broken it's mammals
heart. Well have a funeral for it, any
way"
So they had the funeral, and a very
grand one it was. The hen, which they
named Rizpa, came to it (rather against
her Will in Minnie's arms, with & black
string around her neck by way of
mourning. She clucked SO loud that
the children were sure she knew all
about it, and was crying dreadfully.
Afterward she went back to her nest,
and was quite consoled with the four
downy little chickens that came out Of
the other eggs. But Johnny
tried to help any more chickens out OF
their shells, you may be sure of that

TIRE D0G HEADED MONKEl.

\ full-grown specimen Of the dog
headed monkey from Abyssinia has been
presented to the Museum of the Uni
versity OF Geneva. This Abyssinian
monkey is characterized by the long
hair On it's cheeks and the greater part
of lis body. 1t was held i'll veneration
by the ancient Egyptians, and enjoyed
a certain celebrity from the rank that it
occupied in their cosmogony. It's fg-
ure is engraved upon the Monuments OF
ancient Egypt, and there have been
found mummieS Of the animal well pre-
served. According to Ehrenberg, this
monkey served as the emblem for the
arts and sciences, music and astronomy,
and especially for speech and hero
gIyphics, or letters, over which he was
supposed to preside. 1t Is for this that
the Abyssinians now call it tota. Hor-
apollon reports that this monkey was
consulted in the temples !; a tablet, reed
and ink, presented by a priest, were
used as tests to ascertain if the partic-
ular animal belonged to the race that
knew how to write. This representa-
tive of Thoth also s~ymbolincd the judg'
ment of souls; and upon one of the
TEMPLES of Phile there is one rep
resented with Il balance iii hand weigh
ing the actions of men. In other places
it is represented writing with a reed.
Gutenberg also supposes that it is the
locks OF this monkey that have served
as the models for the perukes figured
upon the heads of different divinities IL
the Egyptian mythology.

A KISSING WATCH.

The Duke of Athol having Il day,
at Blair-Athol, entertained a large
party at dinner, produced in the e
ing many curious and interesting fami-
ly relics for their inspection, among
them a small watch which had belonged
to Charles Stuart, and been given by
him to one of the Dukes ancestors.
When the company were on the point
of departing, the watch was suddenly
missed, and was searched for in vain
upon the table and about the apart
ments. The Duke was exceedingly
vexed. and declared that Of all the
articles lie had exhibited, the lost watch
was the one that he most valued. The
guest naturally became exceedingly
uncomfortable, and eyed each other
s~uspic;ousiy. No person Was present,
however, who could possibly be sus-
pected, and courtesy forbade any
stronger step than the marked expires
sion Of the noble hosts extreme annoy
ance and distress. Each departed 80
his nome in an exceedingly unenviable
state Of mind, and the mysterious dis
appearance of the royal relic was a sub
iect for discussion for several months
in society.
A year afferward, The Duke being
again at Blair Athel, was dressing for
dinner, and in the breast-pocket OF a
coat which his valet handed to him, felt
something which proved to be Ike miss
ing watch.
Why, -" exclaimed his grace,
addressing his nan by his name,
here's the watch We hunted every
where IL vain fort"
Yes, sir" replied the man, sravely
al saw your grace pat it in your
pocket"
You saw ma put it in M pocket,
and never mentioned it! Why didn't
you speak at once, and prevent all that
trouble and unpleasant feeling?
q Gidna ken what might haze been
your grace's intentions" was the reply
of the faithful and discreet Highlander,
who saw everything, but said nothing,
unless he was directly Intercepted.

DON'T KISS TIE BABY.

The prcmiscuous kissing of children
is, says the Scientific american, a pes
tiIent practice. We use the word ad-
visedly. and it is mild for the occasion.
Murderous would be the proper word,
did the kissers know the mischief they
do. Yes, madam, murGerous; and we
are speaking to you. Do you remem-

Brown the other day, with a strip Of
flannel round your neck? And when
little Flora came dancing into the room,
didn't you pounce upon her demonstra-
lively, call her a precious little pet, and
kiss her? Then you serenely proceeded
to describe the sore throat that kept
you from prayer-meeting the night be-
fore. You had 10 designs Oh the dear
child's life, we know; nevertheless you
killed her! Killed her as surely as if
you had fed her with stryclnine Or
arsenic. Your caresses were fatal. Two
or three days after the little pet began
to complain of sore throat too. The
symptoms grew rapidly alarming, and
when the doctor came the simple word
diphtheria sufliced to explain them all.
To-day a little mound in Greenwood is
the sole memento Of your visit. OF
course the mother does not suspect,
and would not dare TO suspect you OF
any fundamentally in her bereave-
ment. She charges it to a mysterious
Providence. The doctor says nothing
to disturb the aiiusion that would BE-
impolitic, ii not cruel hut 20 IN out

death was due directly to your internal

sio,v Johnny Helped the Chicken.

How Johnny Helped the Chicken.
It was the first time Johnny had ever
been upon a farm, and a happier little
boy than he was you never saw. He
trotted about from morning to night,
among pigs and COWS and chickens and
sheep, from the stable to the meadow
and back TO the f~arm-yard and down to
the duck-pond, until his clothes were a
sight 10 make mamma turn pale. Then,
when his eyes were just ready to shut
up, he would go into the house and be
made sweet and clean for the night, and,
if he did not go to sleep before he got
quite through his Nov / lay me,"you
may be sure he did not stay awake long
after the Amen" [ don't want to tell
you all about that, though ; or, at least,
Il 1 do want to, [ haven't time, but I DO
want 70 tell you just L thing Johnny
did, ! see what you think about it.
One day johnny wandered out by
himself 70 the poultry yard. There he
saw q men looking down into her nest,
and c:ucking in a way il was quite pain
fUl 20 hear, she seemed SO puzzled and
distressed. She was a very young hen,
and I suppose she did not quite know
what Nd going on there. Neither did
johnny, SO he went up TO see. What
did he see? Well, he saw six warm
woodworking eggs, and, when he
looked closer, he saw that a little bit
was cnipped out of one Of the eggs, and
from the crack came a faint, Peep,
peep
con, I know what's the matter !"
thought Johnny. "Tkere's a little
chicken in that egg, and it wants to get
out, and its silly mamma won't help it
one bit. Stupid thing! Is'pose she
don't know any better though. Poor
little thing how it's legs must ache,
all rolled up IL a tiny ball like that.
Wonder if I couldn't help it? Let's
see :"
So Johnny took up the egg, and
broke off a little bit of the shell.
Peep! peep" said the chicken in
side, a little louder.
He likes it, Iguess," thought john
ny, very much pleased. "He must be
most s~nufocated in there ;" and care
fully, very carefully, Johnny broke The
shell away, piece by piece, while the
young clucked end huttered
pitifuily at his feet.
"Now you just be still, hermann
ma = said Johnny. 81 amt going
to hurt your little boy, not one bit.
There" as he broke away the last
bit Of shell; "There's your baby
all safe. But, oh dear - said John
ny, in dismay, chow little and weak ht
is?'
For the chicken had never learned
to use its legs, and he staggered
about, and "peeped" more pitt
utly tudu cNSL. ocuiiny ooOoo "H>
thought.
Now, he~n-mamma," he said, "In
'fraid I've done mischief, but [ didn'
mean to. Iguess your little boy WASH
quite big enough to come out OF hi
cradle yet. I can't put him back, that
sue, cause I can't put the egg togethe
again, and if l could 1 don't know how
to curl him up so as to fit. And Their
are such lots OF shelters about, II
'fraid they'll eat him all up, Oh,
know!" thought Johnny, "here's JUS
the thing-an empty tomato-caI-that'
lust do. Now I'll cover him up a
nicely with this, and let him grow tt
tomorrow, and then I'll come and le
him out. He's all right, hen-mamms

out, so it must be all right"
