RAGGED FoLKs.-No, [ don't mean
ragged clothes, but folks who act like rags
sometimes; you have seen dozens of them.
They go about smiling and cheerful, just
as long as prosperity smiles on their plans
and wishes, but the moment that trouble
comes, they grow as limp as wet rag; and
while the back3ones of the family are tug
ging and sweating to give the wheel anoth-
er turn, these wet rags fold themselves up
and shy away quietly into corner, where
they lop down and watch the proceedings
until all is serene and lovely again, when
they appear once more upon the scene and
bravely help bear the honors. Pm out of
all patience with such people; why they
don't even make a rustic as they walk.
Whenever I meet them I feel like taking
big bowl of starch and dipping them in
and hanging them out to dry. But then I
suppose they are some good in the world,
for if everybody were always cheerful and
happy there wouldn't be anybody to pity
so let them softly fulfil their mission while
we thank our lucky stars that we don't
belong to the ragged folks.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER.
Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling of even
single touch that is bestowed upon you
by that gentle hand! Make much of it
while you have the most precious of all
gif5s-a loving mother. Read the unfathom-
able love in those eyes; the kind anxiety of
that tone and look, however slight your
pain. In after life you may have friends
fond, dear friends; but never will you have
again the inexpressible love and gentleness
lavished upon you which none but mother
bestows. Often do 1 sigh In my troubles
with the dark, uncaring world, for the
sweet, deep security 1 feel when, of an
evening, nesting in her bosom, I listened
to some quiet tale, suitable to my age,
read in her tender and untiring voice.
Never can l forget her sweet chances cast
upon me when l appeared asleep; never
her kiss OF peace at night. Years have
passed away since we laid her beside my
father in the old church-yard; and still
her voice whispers from the grave, and
her eye watches over me, as I visit spots
long since hallowed to the memory Of my
mother.

SoCIABILITY.-Think how much happi-
ness you convey to each other by kindly
notice and cheerful conversation. Think
how much sunshine such sociability lets
back into your own soul. Who does not
feel more cheerful and contented for re-
ceiving a polite bow and a genial "good
morning." with hearty shake of the
hand? Who does not make himself hap
pier by these little expressions of fellow
feeling and good will? Silence, and a stiff,
unbending reserve, are essentially selfish
and vulgar. The generous and polite man
has pleasant recognition and cheerful
words for all he meets. He scatters sun
beams wherever he goes. He paves the
path of others with smiles. He makes So
ciety seem genial, and the world delightful
to those who would else find them cold,
selfish and forlorn. And what he gives is
but 1.-THE of what he receives. Be social
wherever you go, and wrap your lightest
words in tones that are sweet and spirit
that is genial.

T. LOVE seizes ON us suddenly, without
giving warning, and our disposition or our
weakness favors the surprise; one look, one
glance from the fair fixes and determines
us. Friendship, on the contrary, is long
time in forming; it is of slow growth,
through many trials and months of famil-
iarity. How much wit, good nature, in
diligence, how many good offices and civil
ties are required among friends to accom-
plish in some years what a lovely face or a
fine hand does in minute

TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side:
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about.
And wishes his own thoughts all day:
ooh! if could but fly away,
From this dull spot. the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy I should bel"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking, all day long:
''Oh! could only tread once more
The field-path to the farmhouse door,
The old, green meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should be!''

THE LOVE OF LIBERTY is inherent in
every creature that breathes and basks in
the sunbeams of heaven Everything that
flies in the air, floats in the ocean and am
bulates the earth. The beautiful bird that
droops it's plumage in the cage pines for
the open field and grove where it may sing
it's song to it's paramour and lave it's pin
ions in the light of heaven.

IMPORTANCE OF READING.-No matter
how obscure the position in life Of an in
dividual, if he can read, he may at will put
himself in the best society the world has
ever seen. He may converse with all the
best writers in prose and poetry. He may
learn how to live, how to avoid the errors
of his predecessors, and to secure blessings
present and future, to himself. He may
reside in desert far away from the hab-
itations of man in solitude, where no hui
man eye looks upon him.with affection or
interest, where 10 human voice cheers him
with it's animating tones; if he has books
to read, he can never be alone. He may
choose his company and the subject of con-
versation, and thus become contented and
happy, intelligent, wise and good. Hethus
elevates his rank in the world, and be-
comes independent in the best sense of the
world, and first in Importance in the de-
partment of school education.

lido NOT KNOW whether we are capable
of forming a true Platonic attachment for
an inanimate object, but sometimes be-
lieve that we may. The shrine in which
friendship has treasured up its cherished
keepsakes, the ring that sparkled on the
finger, and the ringlet that once shaded
the brow of the departed whatever, in
deed, serves as a remembrance Of the alb
sent, or memento of the dead, speaks
eloquently of the existence Of such pas
sion.

| M1ssPENT EvENINGs.-The boy who
spends an hour Of each evening lounging
idly on street corners wastes in the course
of a year three hundred and sixty-fve pre-
cious hours, which, if applied to study,
would familiariZe him with the rudiments
of almost any of the familiar sciences. If
IN addition to wasting an hour each even
ing he spends ten cents for a cigar, which
is usually the case, the amount thus worse
than wasted would pay for ten of the lead
ing periodicals Of the country.
Boys, think of these things. Think how
much time and money you are wasting,
and for what? The qualification afforded
by the lounge on the corner OF by the cigar
is not only temporary but positively hurt
full. You cannot indulge in the practices
without seriously injuring yourselves
You acquire idle and wasteful habits which
will cling to you with each succeeding
year. You may in after life shake them
off, but the probabilities are that the habits
thus formed in early life will remain with
you till your dying day.
Be warned, then, in time, and resolve
that as the hour spent in idleness is gone
forever, you will improve each passing one
and thereby fit yourselves for usefulness
and happiness.

II-DEEP IN THEVALLEY
Deep in the valley, afar from every beholder,
In the May morning my true love came to me:
Silent we sate her head upon my shoulder;
FOndly we dreamed of the days about to be;
Fondly we dreamed of the days so soon to be-.
Deep in the valley the rain falls colder and colder
Safely she sleeps beneath the churchyard tree:
Yet still feel her head upon my shoulder.
Yet still dream of the days that could not be:
Yet still weep DER the days that will not be.

A HISTORY OF TIE FAN.-A curious
little volume has just appeared, giving the
history of fans among all nations and at
all periods. The author, M. BLENDED, who
has been able to examine many rare colec-
tions, states that it first came from the
East, where it is always accompanied by a
fly flap and parasol. The former is made
of the tail of the Thibetial buffalo, white
as snow, and of which the extremity is a
tuft of hair in the form of d plume. Fans
OF feathers, recently in fashion, date from
the seventh century They We're first used
in China, where the Emperor, Kao Tsong,
having heard the cry of d pheasant, sup
posed to be an suspicious sign, ordered a
fan to be made shaped like the tail of that
bird. According to the author, that arti-
Gle had more than one singular use; on it
the rich deposited the aims which they
gave to the poor; the great received on it
the delicacies offered to them. 1t was low
cred to superiors as a mark of Difference; ;
the nobies carried it to court, and it served
to cool them from the heat of the day, and
to amuse them while waiting in the ante
chamber. Il fan placed on a plate Of a
particular form announced to the criminal
of noble family his sentence, and it was
the moment in which he held out his hands
to receive the fatal present that the exc
cutioner was to accomplish his work.
