SOFA became the desire of my heat and
ne height Of my ambition.

when one day overheard my oldest
brother telling one Of his schoolmales
that he had made the i'm portant discovery
that marbles could be formed from coal
tar, of which there was Il large quantity
on Q certain street in distant part Of the
the town. He did not condcsceni to tx
plain the process of manufacture, but he
showed the narbles he had nlade-biack,
round, and glossy. The sight inspired
me with ardent desire to possess an un-
limited quantity.
My brother told me just where the GOV.
sted treasure was to be found, and, in the
afternoon, I starred of, without confiding
to any one my intention, to find the spot
and lay in supply of the raw material,
which I could convert Into marbles when
had leisure. 1t was very hot July af.
ternoon, and was in u violent heat; but
the sight of the heaps Of eJal-tar put ali
thoughts of anything unpleasant quite
out Of my head; it caused me to forget
also that had on suit of new clothes,
of which had been cautioned by my
mother to be extremely careful.
need hardly remark that was not
very we'll acquainted with the substance

qualities was, that it could be nodded
into any shape pleased. was not
aware that it has all the qualities of or
binary tar-melts with heat and becomes
the toughest, stickiest, most unmanage-
boy can come into contact.
fell to work to collect what wanted
10 carry home. filled the pockets Of my
pantalOons, and Of nv jacket, and lastly
when these were stuffed to their utmost
capacity, filled the crown Of my hat so
full that it would hardly 60 on my head.
The place was at some distance from my
home, and did not wish to have to re-
turn Immediately for more.
With q heart filled with triumph,
started off toward home. BY this time

was pretty tired, but was also in great
hurry to begin making marbles, 80
walked az fast as l could. After little
time began to be sensible of disagree
able feeling of sickness about my waist,
and . slight trickling sensation in the re.
gion Of the knees.

A very slight inspection of my two
pockets satisfied me that coal-tar was ca
pable of becoming liquid, and, if need.

that began to meander down the sides oil

fact. l tried to take of my hat, but il
would not come.

With feelings Of dismay. Ominous spot

10 get the tar off, l Vas quite certain, and
had bad no permission to 60 from home
