approached them. AS he drew near he
discovered fifteen praire-fowl apparently
dancing a minuet. They were scattered
about on the short turf, twenty yards
apart, nodding their heads at one an
other, aud presently two would run out
and perform the figure which in a
country dance is known as "cross over
and back to places, all the while utter
ing a soft note Of "cCO-cOO"-the last
syllable being much elongated. They
would follow "salute your partners"
and "dos a dos" This scene Of merri-
ment was sustained for half an hour,
and until a shot from a neighborlng
gun caused the birds TO run into the tall
cover of the reeds. The bright sun
shine of autumn aud the conspicuous
group of native birds impressed the
scene wildly on the spectators mind.
A neighboring farmer to whom the cir
cumstance was mentioned, said: Eyes,
them same birds skyve around there
mostly every day." The other varieties
of prairie grouse indulge In the same
kind of amusement.

Children's Books.

One great fault of children's books as
a class is that they are about children.
Heroes and heroines not yet in their
teens run their important careers; they
are martyrs, benefactors, g%eniuses,
wrOnged and blighted beings shining
forth at last in Il blaze of recognized
virtue-or perhaps they are Williams
who do their exercises with the help of
a surreptitious crimp, and bully their
immaculate school fellow-but at all
events they are ~persOnages.
Little boys and girls ought not to re-
gard themselves, as these stories teach
them to do, as possible personages, nor
should they be set analyzing their W
characters and, as it were, watching
themselves grow. They should be left
to the happy hGmility of unspOiled
children who do not discover that they
are worth thinking about, and who
postpone all their visionary promotion
to "when | am grown up" Mrs.
Browning's Little Ellie, weaving her
baby's romance Of by-and-by with its
knight-errant on the red roar steed
coming to be her lover and to be shown
the delightful secret of the swans nest
among the reeds, is although most OF
the childrcn's bookmakers would think
the lover an improper idea) in a whole
some and guileless state of Imagination
very different from that fostered in
children whose fancies have been pas
tured within the narrow regions of u
children's world as presented by the
noyelists of the nursery.
Little EAlie, If she had bceen OF
the fortunate children of the present
day with n large library of her own,
would have been picturing herself as
the last sweet little girl she read about
in the last sweet little book, with every
body admiring her for being so good,
and so forbearing to her cross mama,
and not knowing how pretty she was,
and almost dying. And little Ellie, in
stead of shaking off this idealization OF
her small self and going about her play
aud her tasks in her natural insignifi-
canoe, as we may be sure she did after
her hnight-errant story, would have
carried it with her and, under an abid-
ing sense of sweet-little girl-ishness,
would have fallen into doing her good
ness and modesty self-consciously,
would have tried to play forbearance to
her parents, and would have INDUCED
aspirations after an early opportunity
Of almost dying.-LOndon Examiner.

A Valuable Work.

The well-known advertising agents,
Messrs. S. M. Pettengill & Co., of this
city, have just issued in a handsome
form their "Newspaper Directory and
Advertisers Hand Book" for 1877. 1t
is without doubt the most valuable and
trustworthy compilation of its kind
published in this country, and a work
which no advertiser or newspaper pub
Usher should be without. No fewer
than 1874 newspapers or periodicals
are described, showing the day and
place Of publication, character, pub
Usher, circulation in short, all that an
advertiser requires to know regarding
any medium published. Besides the
general list there is a list of periodicals
by counties, which must be valuable to
those who desire to reach any particu-
lar section of the Continent, and tables
of daily and weekly newspapers having
a circulation of 5000 copies or over, re.
ligious, agricultural, and other class
organs, Two or three striking portraits
of prominent editors are scattered
throughout the volume, which, alto
gether, gives us a capital idea of the
wealth and variety Of American journal
ism, and proves the immense connection
and great business facilities which its
publishers and compilers must have at
their command. - ". y. ScotiSh-Amer.

The thoughtful, intelligent, clearly,
careful and conscientious, of course will
change their clothing at night, not wear
ing an article that has been worn during
the day. If the day clothes are put in
a proper position to dry and air during
the night, and the night clothes aired for
a few hours in the light of the sun, the
wearer may reasonably claim to be
clearly, especially if accustomed to
daily washing or brushing of the whole
body. Nothing short of this will keep
the skin in a good condition, the sur
face clean, the pores open, and the
small blood vessels of the skin in an ac-
tive and healthful state.-The necessity
for all this labor and fuss, as some may
regard it, is found in the fact that the
refuse, waste and poisonous matters
from the ever decaying body-to the
extent of more than one half of all
taken into the stomach, solid and liquid
must pass off through the pores, the
outlets of the system, a part Of which is
absorbed by the clothing, and some of
which is dried on the surface. The use
of the hand bath and the flesh brush
will remove a part of this foul matter,
while the exposure Of the clothing to
the light-one of natures grand puri-
fiers-and the air will be a partial sub
stitute for washing, allowing n to be
reasonably clean and tidy,-ErChdnge.

Roses, DomInoes and shells.

''Oh yes" said the chambernaid to
Mr.. MacGahan, as he asked to be shown
to his room at the hotel in Giurgevo on
June 3; "there came lots hereabOUts
this morning, quite close to the hotel.
Why, there is nothing but the Danube
between us and the Turkish batteries :"
and then she desired to know whether
he wanted slippers, and cared to buy a
fragment of a shell which had fallen
and burst in the back yard. Then he
went down into the public garden
where seats and walks were o%verhung
with the white blossoms of the locust
trees, and the fresh tender green of the
sycamores. Most of it was on the fiat
summit of a little bluff but it sloped
down to the waters edge close by, In
the garden, officers and civilians were
summing themselves and gossiping
lazily. A little group at a table under
the big trees were engaged in playing
dOminoes. Inside of the pavilion was a
buffet, and a girl from the hotel, who
said that Turkish shells didn't at all
brighten her, was acting as dame du
compton. She pointed out the pane
broken by the Turkish bullet, and
laughed at the suggestion that what
happened once might happen again.
Later there came a few children into
the garden, and two of them gathered
flowers and threw them into one of the
shell holes. Then the gardener began
his task of watering the flowers.

Love marriages are, as a rule, not so
successful as what the French call mari
ages de rdiSon. Poets, novelists, and
sentimentalists, may write what they
please, but this is the result of hard
prosaic experience. Most girls tho
roughly realize it, and the worldly po-
sitlon of an admirer is a considerable
element in the amount of trouble which
Is devoted to an attempt to hook him.
And why notP Is a girl to wreck all
her prospects in life, because a year or
two after she Is out Of the school-room,
she feels an uncomfortable desire to

els and plays. Down goes the curtain,
so soon as the happy pair have been
joined together for the rest Of their ex-
istence, whilst this rest Is left to the

The Uentre Of vitality.

The life OF the flesh and the brain, the bones
and the muscles, is the blood. 1t is the centre
Of vitality, the nutrlment Of the system. Not
only must il be pure, but rich, in order to re-
tain health. In the feeble and devitallzed,
the life current is watery and It's circulation
sluggish. The muscles Of such persons lack
solIdlty, the nerves are weak, the yisage bag
gard, and the eye lustreless. A course OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, however, inn
