an early spring, therefore people should
begin to think about their spring wares

The Boy ON Labrosse Street.

When Lacrosse street boy is playing
"hop-scotch on the walk and his mother
comes to the door and asks him to split
some wood, he replies that he will be
along in Just one minute. At the end Of
ten minutes she opens the door and says;
"Wilyum, / want that wood !"
"I'm coming right now," he replies,
and then goes on hopping here and there
on one leg.
Another ten minutes flies away, and
she opens the door and says:
"Wilyum, if you don't get that wood
you know what your father will do ~
"Just ten seconds! :" he calls back, and
he enters upon a new game.
The next time she calls she says:
"YouRg man, its almost noon and l
can't cook dinner without that wood!"
"I know tim coming now," he re
plies, and he stands on one foot and
holds long discussion with the Johnson
boy as to whether the game of chop
scotch is as good a game rs base ball
He has just started to hop when boy
whispers:
eli, Bill there's your old dad
"Great Snakes !" whispers Bill, and
he goes over the fence like flash, grabs
the ax, and during the next two minutes
he strikes two hundred blows per minute
He gets into the house ahead of his
father, and as he drops the wood he says;
Mother, the boys were Just saylh
that / had the handsomest and best and
coolest mother on Lacrosse street, and
want to kiss you !"-DetroH FREE Press

Trades Of the Past.

Half century ago bellows-making was
a thriving trade. Every house had its
pair of bellows, and i'll every well-fur-
nished mansion there was pair hung by
the side of every fireplace.
But as stoves and CRATES took the
place of open fireplaces, and as coal was
substituted for wood, the demand for
bellows diminished, and the business, as
a separate trade, died out.
The same is true of fiint-cutting.
F'lints were once necessary, not only for
tinder- -boxes-and a tinder-box was as
necessary for every house as gridiron
or a skillet. Every one who looks back
to a childhood of forty odd years ago
must remember the cold winter morn
ings when the persistent tcrack, crack of
the flint against the steel sent up from
the kitchen an odor of igniting tinder
and sulphur which pervaded the house.
We have no more idea what became of
the flint producers than of the old man
of sorrowful' memories, who, three or four
times week, called at our store with
birthstone matches, for sale at a penny
the half-dozen punches. Both have com
pletely vanished from the country.
Then, again, are gone the makers,
who, though they have been in their
graves this quarter of century. still
figure in lectures and essays to illustrate
the advantages of division of labor. In
stead of pin taking dozen men or
more to cut, grind, point, head, polish
and what not, as it used to do, pins are
now made by neat little machines at the
rate of three hundred minute, of which
machines single child tends to half a
dozen.
Matchmaking at the forge is another
lost industry. Time was, and that in
this nineteenth century, when every nail
was made on the anvil. Now, from one
hundred to one thousand nails per min
ute are made by machines. The mailer
who works at the forge has but bad
chance of competing with such antag-
onists, and he would have no chance at
all were it not that his nails are tenfold
tougher than the former.

LOVES MEMORIES.

One day, in pensive, dreamy mood,
thought of bonny Mary
How fair she was, how sweet and good,
How fairy-like and airy
held treasured fragrant curl,
And let II round mythnger twirl
Yet thought "'Tis strange few short years
Since we two parted, blind with tears,
It's golden tint should vary"
The clinging curl was soft and bright,
Yet rather brown than golden;
I.turned and turned.it to the light
To catch the color olden.
"Alack I" sighed, "'ts gone. Dear girl
Her image fades not like the curl;
see her now, my graceful maid,
So peerless that she made afraid
The heart she would embolden."
Then came thought of sudden pain
"How now her hair 30 sunny
Was wavy, soft, yet always plain,
Not curled at all. How funny,
What changes may tress befall!

The precious lock is ruined quite;

That held my Mary's tresses.

FORESTS Last Appearance.

A writer on the late Edwin Forrest
says His last engagement was in Bos-
ton. He had had an attack of pneumonia,
which affected one of his lungs. Mr.
Oakes, his lifelong friend, implored him
not to go on the stage again. He was i'll
all the afternoon-so hoarse that he could
scarcely speak. The play was Richie
lieu. All the entreaties of his physicians
and friends could not keep him from the
theater. Too feeble to walk, he was led
to his dressing-room, and arrayed him
self for the part. The physician had
given Mr.. Oakes a small phial of whisky,
telling him that if Forrest showed signs
of suffering to administer it to him.
When Forrest heard this, he said If /
die on the stage / will die, but they
shan't find any rum in me-. A chair was
put behind the scenes, and when lie was
called he was led to it by Mr.. Oakes.
When his cue came he was raised to his
feet. Steady me, he said steady me,
and let me go on Tottering on the
stage, the sound of the applause of the
multitude seemed to put new life into
him, and he went through his part accu-
rately, and so to the end of the play.
When he finished he was led, half faint
ing, to his hotel, and he never appeared
upon the stage any more. The next night
the play was 'Virginius : but his physi-
clans and friends absolutely forbade his
playing the part. He struggled until
the last moment, resolved he would not
be governed by either friends or physi-
clans. Finally the doctor said +: IF you
dress for "Virginius" tonight, and GO
upon the stage, you will die He listened
for moment, burst into tears like q
child, and submitted himself to be put to
bed. This was at the Globe Theater,
Boston, and he never acted again"

AS AN overloaded horse-car was COM
ing up Sudbury street, a short time since,
when the icy condition of the street rem
dered the ascent of the hill extremely
difficult, gentleman hailed the CON
ductor from the sidewalk, requesting
him to stop the car until he got on. This
the conductor refused to do until the car
reached the summit of the hill. BY that
time, the gentleman, out of breath and
temper also, got upon the car and adj
dressed the conductor as follows "Sir,
L supposed this road was run for the ac-
commodation of the public. You
never was more mistaken in your life, y
replied the conductor Z" it is run in or
der to fill the stockholders pockets. F"
Indeed" said the now irate passenger,
81 thought all the conductors on this
road were gentlemen. "Worse than
BEFORE" said the conductor do you
suppose / would run a horse car if was
gentleman 2" This seemed unanswer-
able, and the conversation suddenly
ceased. Boston AdUcrtiser.
