FORFEETS FOR FUN.

In the evening games Of winter
gatherings Of young people: and older
ones too, it often becomes necessary to
punish some one, or more, of the com-
pany by imposing Forfeit. The
penance should be something that
either is not easy to follow out to the
letter-that is, has some catch in it
or puts the person in conspicuous
aud amusing light In all cases for
felt should be designed to amuse the
company as whole, and never to
offend the person called upon to pay
it. In order to illustrate our idea
of a good forfeit, and also to furnish
suggestions to those who enjoy and
take part in such pleasant amuse-
ments, We give few of the forfeits
; that may be imposed. (l) Put a
newspaper upon the floor IN such
I way that two persons can stand on
it and not be able to touch each other
with their hands. This forfeit has
the honor of being old, but it was not
our good fortune to meet it until a
short time ago, and was forced to give
it up By putting the paper IN
doorway, one-half inside and the other
outside the room, aud closing the
door over it the two persons can easily
stand upon it aud still be beyond each
others reach. (2) To 60 out OF the
room with two legs, and come in with
six. Not difficult if one thinks to
| bring chair along on the return. (3)
To act the Dumb Servant. The per-
son who has the forfeit to pay must
act out the answers to the questions
put by the master of the ceremonies;
as, How do you make bread? How 60
you eat soup? etc. This forfeit will
cause much merriment if proper ques-
tions are put. CD Put one hand
where the other can not touch it. One
can get out of this difficulty by put
ting one hand on the elbow of the
other arm. 60 Place pencil on the
floor so that one can not jnmp over it.
May be done by putting it close to
the wall of the room. Isl Put a
question that no one can answer with
NO! This is not hard if one thinks
to ask. What does Y ES spell? III
Push a chair through finger ring.
This forfeit is made by putting the
ring on the finger and pushing the
cbair-any other. object will do as
well-with the finger. This last
much resembles the next. [8] Put
yourself through a key,hole. This
vas a great puzzle to US for while
but when piece of paper was taken
with the word yourself written upon
it, and pushed through the hole, it
was all clear. There are many other
Of these amusing little tricks, but
these given will suggest others, and
help to make the social winter gather
ing the enjoyable times that they
should be.-American A. 'icuItNrlst.

dered by the people, who, exasperated
probably by his eternal and extensive
squeezes, considered taking the law
into their own hands to be the only
way of getting rid Of him. For this
daring outrage against law and order,
Pung Tye:jen undertook to lnHlct
punishment upon the residents, and
did so with a completeness We rarely
see equaled. He first secured the
services of a gunboat to protect OF
cover his retreat, the place where the
Inhabitants had done as We have
stated being within reach OF the guns
of a man -of-war. The place was then
besieged, and the soldiers killed some
thug like 700, it is said, of the peo
pie who were supposed to have taker
part in the uprising against authority
and had caused the death of this
netty official. The number Of those
destroyed by the avenging army o:
Pung Tyejen is variously estimated
from 400 to the figure above stated

Esselmont and his cross old agent

stranger, courteously.

widow, recoiling a little, as they
neared the t!ny cottage, with its
dropping caves and pillarcd veran-
da. 8
'Who?' said the gentleman.
The agent said the Widow
! Winton.

! stranger.
! And be walked boldly into the
I very presence of Mr.. Sandy Mac
pherson, with the basket of plum
dered grapes on his arm while the
widow followed, much marvelin g
at his valor.
But, instead Of bursting out into
invective, the agent sprang to his
feet. and began howing and scrap

But when be went away, Miss

Such q quantity OF them, said
the Widow Winton, and doing
nobody any good!'
The golden September sunshine
was sleeping all the uplands in
yellow brightness the avant
couriers Of the coming frost had
touched the naples and sumacs
with fiery red, and the wild grapes
in the woods came freighting the
air with sweetness. Such wild
grapes, too-great, blooming masses
Of purple, outlined against their
rank, green leaves, as if some en-
chanted hand had hung all the
forest aisles with glistening pend
ants Of amethyst.
The jelly they would make 7
said the Widow Winton, shading
her large black eyes with one
hand, as she looked up where the
vines had garlanded i copse OF
cedar trees. And the preserves
And the price they would bring
in market l really do think
that when [ rented the Glen Cot
tage, l ought to have had the
privilege Of these woods into the
bargain more especially as Mr..
Esselmont is in. Europe, and the
grapes is doing nobody any good
Aud the Widow Winton drew a
deep sigh, as the wind waited a
fresh gust of fragrance toward her
-tbe sweet, indescribable aroma
Of ripening grapes in the cruclble
Of autumn sunshine.
The Widow Wlnton, be it un-
derstood, was no angular matron
or wrinkled old beldame, but a
rosy little parsonage of two or
three-aud-twenty, with laughing
sloe-black eyes, long-lashed and
almond-shaped, a saucy, retrousse
nose, and lips like a cleft rosebud
And as she stood there, with her
dimplcd hands interlaced above
her eyes, a rebellious resolution
formed itself in her heart.
Il will have them,' said the
Widow Winton as we'll me as
the schoolboys and the sparrows.
And if l were to ask that crusty
old agent, l know he'd refuse. so l
shall omit the little ceremony.
III send 'em into town, and LII
take the money to get me a new
fall hat, for mine has been posi-
lively shabby ever since the Grape
got soaked through in that sum-
mer shower, three weeks ago Sun
day
And the Widow Winton went
home to the little cottage on the
edge of the wood, which had
once been a porter's lodge to the
Esselmont estate, aud told her Sis
ter what she had determined up
on.
Fanny said Miss Charity Hall,
who was ten years older than the
widow, and q good many degrees
graver, pray don't think Of such
a thing
why not2' said Fanny.
1T would be stealing?
No, it wouldn't stoutly argued
Fanny. There they hang, doing
nobody any good and it's wick
ed. sinful shame! And Mr.. Essel
mont is in Paris, and that cross
old crab Of an agent scts up d cry
if one does but break of: a sprig
Of autumn leaves. No, Charity
there's no use arguing ; the grapes

And she took down a little
wicker basket, with q twisted

VIRTUES FAME.
Like quiv'ering, crystal bubble,
Floating on the summers air,
Is a maiden's fame for virtue,
Jewel of all jewels rare.
But breath-and gone the bubble,
Never more to be the same;
But whispered word Of scandal
Gone the maiden's spotless fame.
False may be the direful rumor;
Pure in heart may be the maid;
But heartless world will whisper,
And the forfeit must be paid.
