FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

The Man who Didn,t Know when to stop.
A very fair singer was Mynheer schwop,
Except that he never knew when to stop
He would sing, and sing, and sing away,
And sing half the night and all Of the day
This "pretty bit and that " sweet air."
This "little thing from Tootovere."
Ahl IL was fearful the number he knew,
And fearful his way Of singing them through
At first, the people would kindly say:
"Ah, sing 1t again, Mynheer, we pray -
[This "pretty bit," and that "sweet air."
This little thing from Tootovere."l
They listened while, but wearied soon,
And, like the professor, they changed their
tune.
vainly they coughed and a-hemmed and stirred;
Only the harder he trilled and slurred,
Until, in despair, and rather than grieve
The willing professor, they took their leave,
And left him singing this "sweet air."
And that "pretty bit from Tootovere !"
And then the hostess, in sorry plight,
While yet he sang with all his might,
Let down the blinds, put out the light
With "thanks Mynheer goodnight good
night"
My moral, dear singers, lies plainly atop;
Be always obliging, and willing--to stop.
The same will apply. my dear children, to you
Whenever you've any performing to do,
Your friends to divert (Which is quite proper,
too,)
Do the best that you can-and stop ,o7,en you're
through. ...

Fires in America.

An English magazine says: The ex-
ceeo'ng dryness of the atmosphere in
the United States produces such an in
fammability in buildings, that when q
fire breaks out it proceeds with surpris-
ing velocity. Owing to this circum-
stance, Americans have organized the
most perfect system in the world of extin-
guishing fires, though all their efforts
are often in vain. A stranger in New
York or Boston would be astonished at
the immense uproar caused by an out
break of fire. Bells are rung, gongs
sounded, and steam-engines rush along
the streets, regardless of everything.
The unaccustomed stranger is apt to
make run of it when he sees the en-
gines coming the American simply
steps to the "sidewalk or into a
"store for moment. 1t is provided
by the city govel lment that "the Off
GERS aud men, with their teams and ap-
paratus, shall have the right of way
while going to fire, through any street,
lane, or alley" etc.; and most unre-
servedly do the said officers and men
make use of this permission. If any
old woman's stall is at the corner of a
street round which the steamers must
60, there is no help for it over it goes.
If buggy is left standing at corner,
the owner must not be surprised if but
three wheels are left on it when he re-
turns. Accidents of this latter kind,
however, are rare people recognize
and J ield willingly the right of way ;
and the quicker the engines go to a fire,
the better pleased everybody is. 1t is
quite point of rivalry among the fire.
men who shall get the first water on a
fire, and it is mentioned always in the
report of the engineer.

Only Practicing.

Two intimate friends met on the street
the other day, after short separation
and the following curious conversation
ensued:
"Ah, how dye do, old fellow p cried
the first one, heartily.
Second friend (shrugging his shoul-
ders)-" 20, tray bang"
First friend docking little startled)
-" Nice day, is it not ?"
"Second do.-"Ah we, say bang
sure."
First do. (doubtfully!-" You are not
ill, are you?"
Second do. with indignation)-" "Oh,
nongw
First do. becomes uneasy thinking
his friend is mad, he says" Well, good
day." and moves away.
The Second smiles from ear to ear,
shrugs his shoulders and replies "Ah,
bung zure, mong amme."
All the day Number One feels ex-
tremely bad about his neighbor's un-
fortunate condition, and he does not dis
cover the truth of the matter till the
evening, when, as he is reading of the
Paris Exhibition, he suddenly recollects
that his friend is going to France and is
studying the language. He was only
practicing French in preliminary sort
of way.
Number One smiles as he thinks OF
the fate in store for the unfortunate
natives of La Belle France.

Fate OF a Centennial Relic.

All who visited the Centennial Exhi-
bition will remember the tremendous
and uncouth figure of Washington on an
alleged eagle or some such bird which
stood at the entrance of Memorial Hall.
The huge work was no caricature on
in m good good faith by sisnor GU GDarnerio eGo'ip in
Italy who thought to get some thousands
of dollars for it from the United States
Government. The italian Government
transported it free from the studio to
the gates of the Centennial and the
Signor had to pay ninety dollars for re-
moving it from thence and placing it in
Memorial Hall. The colossal figure was
removed thence to the Main Exhibition
building after the Centennial closed.
The other day an attempt was made to
sell ii at auction on account of non.pay-
ment of duties. The highest bid was
the magnificent sum Of one dollar,
