you will see the hole in the sheet of paper

defined by the difference of illumination.

Mothers Boy.

Gilbert CRoPsEY is his mothers pet
He coaxes and scolds her as the within
takes him. He disobeys her, says saucy
words to her, and, as she often says, vexes
her almost to death Still she loves
him fondly and calls him "mother's
pet.''
Edward Heck is the son of a poor
widow, who calls him mothers COM
fort" He tries his very best to make his
mother happy in spite of her poverty.
One day he went to market f,r her, and
as he staggered homeward under a very
heavy load of potatoes a gentleman said
to him:
MY son, that basket is too heavy for
you to carry"
Edward looked in the gentleman's face
with a good natured smile and replied:
:" 1t is heavy, sir, but 1 would rather
carry it myself than my mother should
carry it."
Now, as you see, both these boys we're
their mothers pets. Which of them,
think you, was the real mothers boy?
Surely Ebert, the selfish, was not. The
love was all on the mothers side. But
the grateful Edward returned love for
love. The noble fellow bore his mothers
burdens, and was the real, true mothers
boy. Don't you think so? If you do, l
want you to show it by bearing your
mothers burdens. Will you ?-,Sclo0l,

A PIckpocket Meets a Young Man.

A LIVELY incident occurred on the Full
ton ferry boat Fulton as she was crossing
to brooklyn at about a quarter to five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. There was
the usual crush at the front part of the
boat and three men began to make them
selves obnoxious by hustling their fellow
passengers. They conducted their game
SO systematically that it soon became ap-
parent that they had an object in view,
and at last an old man whom the two be.
gan to "work" informed one OF the men.
whose hand had got too near his overcoat
pocket to please him, that he didn't want
'any internal pickpocket fooling around
him." The light fingered gentleman
thought best To brazen it out, and, not
withstanding the protests of several by
ISLANDERS, began to insult the old gentle
man. Call me a pickpocket, you old
fool,' he said at last; I'D lick anybody
thard call me pickpocket, and I'd lick
you only yer SO DID," "Am / young
enough?" asked compactly- built young
man, as he stepped up and faced the
abusive thief. Then, before an answer
could be returned, he pinned the latter by
the throat and as he held him in the air
and treated him to an earthquake which
lasted about two minutes, he pointed each
shake with an appropriate remark, such
as You pickpocket! Want young
man, do you? How do you like my
style? Why don't the other thieves come
on2" etc. Having nearly shaken the life
out of the thief the compact young man
wound up by dragging him to the boats
side, and it was only after a most abject
appeal from his victim that he relented of
an apparently fixed resolution to throw
him into the Tiyer-N. y. Graphic.
