Rough ON the ROy.

A boy in Chicago was recently pre-.
scented with a jack-kriite, with which,
boy-like, he cut and marked every
thing that came in his way, from din
ing room table TO the cats tail. A
few days after he had become the
happy possessor of the knife, Lis
father was startled by seeing two
men bringing home the young hopeful
in very dilapidated condition. His
face seemed to be cut and bruised
and covered with blood. The father,
OF course, was very much alarmed,
ana inquired of the boy who had hit
him. Nobody didn't hit me-" the
boy answered, between his sobs; sit
was only mule kicked me in the
eye" "A mule kicked you in
the eye, eh ?" echoed the father.
"Haven't l told you a thousand
times or more that mules and gun
powder were not fit things tor boys
TO fool with? What were you do
ing with the mule ?" Il wasn't
toolin' with him at ALL" said the
boy 81 was only tryin' to cut my

his prey. But" what was his horror

own door that he had sufficient cour-

In the meanwhile, Sir Cavaliero
