Being u Boy.

1t is rather fine thing to be boy, and
have free indulgence in the healthtul sports
OF youth, rather than the more harmful pas
times of after years. The pure spirit of the
boy turns instnctively to those recreatlons
which appeal to the heart, and cause many
older people to look yearningly back to the
days of their youth. See with what beaming
| tenderness the small boy seeks to win the
confidence of the poor, friendless, covering
dog that be finds roaming sadly through the
street. The boys face glows with compass
sion, and his voice is low and sweet as he
murmurs pet names to the fOrlorn animal,
slowly approaching it with outstretched hand.
ready to tenderly pat its shaggy coat. Grad
ually the suspicious of the dog are overcome
and the hand of the boy caresses the harm
less brute with a kindness that only boy
can show. With his arm soothirgly around
the dogs neck, the boy cries in hoarse
whisper to his friends, hitherto hid behind
the fence: ''rve got him, boys" and they
appear cautiously on the scene, while the
first boy occupies the dogs attention with en-
dearing epithets. To practical y0ungster it
is only the work of moment 10 aff1x the an
cient tin pail to the reluctant tail of the dog,
and with a wild shout of joy the boys jump
back while the terrified dog with his rattling un-
known horror in close, pursuit tears madly
down the street, rending the air with howls.
This is one of the most hallowed and unalloyed
pleasures that brightens boys life, ana yet
there are beartless men who would rob cur
youth of snch harmless pastimess as the fore
going. What use are stray dogs and old tin
pans if not to re united by our boys in the
closest of ties +? A harf-hearted man in Flint,
Michigan, flinty-hearted man we might say,
had some innocent boys dragged before a
minion of the law Magistrate and fined $40
for indulqine in the time honored practice Of
tving dog to tin pan and then letting the
tin nan loose

I'he wagon.

''How many a mans life" asks the author
Of "Wild Life in Southern Country" ''has
centered about the wagon?" And this author
continues: ''As child he rides in it as q
treat to the bayfield, with his father as lad
he walks beside the leader, and gets his first
ideas of the great world when they visit the
market town; as man he takes command
and pilots the ship for many long, long
year. When he marres. the wagon, lent for
his own use, brings home his furniture. After
while his own children go for ride in it,
and play in it when stationary in the shed.
In the painful ending the wagon carries the
weak-kneed old man in pity to and from the
old town for his weekly store of goods, or
mayhap for his weekly dole of that staff of
life his aged teeth can hardly grind and
many plain coffin has the old wagon carr
to the distant church yard on the side of led
hill." And then how many man in tho
South has lost his life be athe
waeging tongue.
