Erratic Ben.

ANC" ioin Iihlco'
Respectable Massachusetts is
once more in panic over the pros
pect of Buffers candidacy tor gov
ernor. For a while it was hoped
and believed that he would content
himself with running for congre ess
again. But this erratic politician
insists on doing the thing which
he is not wanted to do. Or, as a
Times correspondent puts the case,
nobody has said thath shall lnot go
TO congress, therefore he does not
want to go. But there is very
general wish that he shall not be-
governor, and he is accordingly de.
termined to be a candidate. The
eminently respectable naeR who
manage the affairs of the repabli-
can party in Massachusetts have
been shivering at the thought that
the dreadful Butler might open sa-
other campaign for the party nonfi-
nation. But he now proposes, as
we are credibly informed, to run as
an independent candidate, and will
take the field in response to- one of
those "great popular demands"
which cunning politician like But
Ter knows so well how to prepare.
1t Is hardly necessary to- say that
Gen. Butler, as an Independents
for governor, will make
things very lively in Massac busetts
politics. .....

A Real Nice Fish Story.

The sweetest little fish story of
the season is told by Frank Abbot,
of Burlington, la. AT Clear Lake
dwells little girl who takes a ride
every day in little skift drawn by
two pickerel. They are regularly
harnessed, and by means of lines,
she is enabled to guide them in any
direction. The fish are about three
feet in length, weigh between seven
and eight pounds each, and are
very powerful. When the girl is
tired of riding sire drives the pick
erel to boat house, where they are
embarrassed, taken into a commo-
dious aquarium made especially
for them and fed. When she goes
to the tank to harness them for a
ride, the pickerel Jump almost into
her arms, apparently, they are SO
glad to see her. The Young miss
has been offered $1,000 for her team.

THE CHILDREN.

When the tasks and the lessons are ended
And the school for the day is dismissed
The little ones gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed;
Oh the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace;
Oh the smiles that are halos of heaven
Shedding sunshine of love on my face
Oh my heart grows as weak as n wo.
mans,
And the fount of my feelings will flow,
When think of the paths steep and
stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must
go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging o'er
them
OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild,
For there's nothing on earth half so holy
AS the innocent heart of a child
There are idols of hearts and of house
holds,
They are angels Of God III disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses.
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Oh! those truants from home and from
heaven,
They have made me more manly and
mild,
And | know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to child.
/ ask not a life for the dear ones
All radiant as others have done,
But that life may have just enough
shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from
evil,
But my prayers would bound back to
myself
All q scraph may pray for a sinner,
But a sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bendcd
have banished the rule and the rod,
have taught them the goodness of
knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness Of
God.
My heart is a dungeon of darkness,
Where shut them for breaking rule,
My frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.
/ shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse the threshold no more;
All how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door!
shall miss the ''good-nights" and the
kisses
And the gush of their innocent glec,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me.
shall miss them at morn and at even
Their song in the school and the street
shall miss tho low hum of their voices, |
And the tramp of their pattering feet.
When the lessons of life are all ended,
And Death says, "The school is dis
missed !"
May the little ones gather around me,
TO bid me goodnight and be kissed.

A Boys Composition on Girls.

- .1OJ - DV"tPVohSioi VIZ ohiOs
Girls is queer kind of veruiiu.
Girls is the only folks that has their
own way every time. Girls rs OF
several thousand kinds, affti some
times one girl can be like several
thousand other girls II she wants
to do anything. Girls is alike one
way, they are all like cats If you
rub 'em the right way OF the hair
they'll purr and look sweet at you,
but if you rub 'em the wrong way
or step on their tails they'll claw
you. So long as you let agirl have
her own way she's nice and sweet;
but just cross lrer ard she'll spit at
you worse nor a cat. Girls is also
like mules; they're heatl.strOng, Ii
a girl don't want to believe any
thing you can't make her. If she
knows it's so she won't say so.
Girls is little women, if they're
good, and if they amt good then
nor when they get big, they're she
devils. That's what father said
mamma was once when she fixed
a hot fat-irOn in the chair so he'd
set down on it, cause she was mad
at him. Brother George says he
don't like big girls; but lie 3nhg
like little ones, and when / saw him
kissing Jennie Jones last Sunday,
and told hhn of what he'd said, he
said he was a biting her cause he
didn't like her. l think he hurt
her, for she hallowed and run, and
there was big red spot over both

as a mild lunatic, and Cherry her
self began TO think she must be the
fool of the family. 1t was only at
times, she would speak OF her pas
sionate love of art and her firm be-
lief that she could paint picture.
She was tall and slight, with rip
ping dun brown hair, violet shad-

al power in the broad, well-shaped
brow.
"A girl that would develop into
noble woman if properly appre-

said to himself after he had been
boarding at the Olmstead's week.
Mr.. Terrence was eight and twenty.
A true patrician by birth and breed
ing, and possessing a kindly grace,
and nobleness, that was truly the
best of all.
There was nothing abaNt the
country girl that shocked his fasti-
dious taste. She was like some
dainty, wild flower, looking with
shy eyes out on the world.
One morning Cherry was down
ip the orchard drawing. She was
so absorbed in her work, she did
not know any one was near, until
a pleasant voice said:
"A very good likeness, Miss
Cherry. Who taught you to draw
so wellr

and tried to hide her drawing, but
