Xuxu's Advice.


"Oh, dearl I'll never catch a fish," eK-
claimed little George Hart.
He had been fishing all the morning, with
never the faintest nibble. He was confident
his bait was all right, for he had drawn it up,
examined it nearly hundred times, and he
could not understand why the fish would not
bite. The other boys could catch plenty.
When he started out early in the morning
his uncle warned him that if he didn't bring
some fish home for dinner he would punish
him severely. Consequently, George was in
the pangs of despair, because he could not
catch none. He never once thought that his
impotence which led him to pull up and in.
spect the bait was really the cause of his
failure. Every second or two up would come
his hook-with no fish, of course. When he
threw it back, he scared away those that
were congregating in front of him.
''ayI mas we'll give up and go home, and
get the whippingI' he finally exclaimed.
81 don't think 1 would just yet"
The boy turned quickly, and beheld the
oldest little dwarf he had ever seen or heard
of
He was dressed in green, from top to toe,
with small twinkling emerald eyes, and
such a winning, good-natured expression
that George did not feel bit afraid of him.
"Well, my lad what seems to be the
trouble?' questioned the pigmy in green.
George poured out all his troubles to his
new friend.
81 can help you out of your difficulty if
you will do as tell you"
George assured him that he would be only
too glad to obey his suggestion.
"Then," said the dwarf, "throw your line
in the water"
George obeyed.
snow hold it there till tell you 10 pull it
up" continued the dwarf
George left his line in the water for quite
awhile. Finally he remarked that some
thing must be the matter with the bait, and
he would pull it up and examine it.
"Let it remain in the water" said the
gentleman in green quite sternly.
Pretty soon the cork dipped under the sur
face, and the boy became all excitement
"Now pull the line up; quickP' said the
dwarf.
George did as directed, and drew in the
largest fish he had ever caught.
"Now 1 must leave you," said the dwarf.
'If you will always keep your line in the
water long enough for fish to bite, and not
jerk it up every five minutes, you will catch
all you want"
George told MIN he had learned something
worth knowing, and he would follow the ad-
vice given HIM.
"But would like to know your manner"
said George.
"My name is Xuxu."
'That's queer name. Haven't you any
other2"
''Xuxu," said the little fellow with a sly
wink, as he started of, SIS an other name for

A Bird story.

A Bird story.
MS strange how little boys mothers
Can ind IL all out as they do,
II a fellow does anything naughty
or say anything that's not true!
They'll look al you just a moment
Til your heart In your bosom swelH,
And then they know all about It
Now where the little bird comes from,
Or where the little bird goes,
II hes covered with beautiful plumage
Or black as the King of the crows,
II his voice Is as hosrSe as raven
or clear as the ringing OF bells,
know not-but this am sure Of
A little bird tells!
The moment you think thing wicked,
The moment you do a thing BAD
Are angry or sullen or hateful,
Get ugly or stupid or mad,
Or tease dear brother or sister
That instant your sentence he knells,
And the whole to mamma In a minute
That little bird tellsi
You may be in the depths OF closet
Where nobody sees but mouse!
You may be all alone In cellar.
You may be on the top OF the mouse,
You NAV be in the dark and the silence,
OR out in the woods or the dells-
The little bird tells!
And the only continuance to stop him
LIS iust to be sure what you say
Sure of your facts and your fancies,
Sure OF your work and your plsy;
Re honest, be brave, and be Kindly,
Be gentle and loving as wei,
And tnen-yOu can laugh at the stories
The little bird tells.

Youth.

All, the days of youth! alb, golden time!
When, living only for the present,
The soul was filled with dreams sublime,
And mutton tasted nice as pheasant;
When there was no such word as sad,
No cypress Gwined amongst our myrtle;
When bread and cheese a flavor had,
One can't find now In punch and turtle.
When friendship was no idle word,
But every comrade seemed q brother;
When every hour of joy was blurred
Unless we shared 1t with another.
Days of delicious, idllDg bliss!
When love gilt all with magic touches,
Valued a kingdom at kiss,
And made a Seamstress seem Duchess,
Days when we festive garlands wreathed
Around loved brows, with smiles and laugh
ter;
Days when the very air we breathed
Seemed sweeter IMAM IL Ger mas alter;
When ne'er a thought of storing pelf
Disturbed the sacred joys OF giving;
When the heart sang, despite itself,
Just at the sheer delight of living.

Down the street on his new velocipede
came Alec Woods boy Of ten years. He
was racing with another boy, and just lit
tie ahead. Very sure was Alec of winning
the pocketful of marbles, which his big
brother had jestingly offered to the winner
of the race.
But lady coming up the block, laden
with parcels, CHANGED to drop one, as Alec's
quick eve noticed, and in an instant he was
off of his steed, and, picking up the parcel,
restored it to its owner, while, with shout
of triumph, his playmate rode on and won
the race.
"You gooser laughed the big brother,
who had seen the whole thing.
II don't carel" said Alec. '1'll bet man,
ma would have been glad if any one had
picked up a parcel for herl''
Well, little gentlemanly Alec didn't win
the race, but he didn't lose prize either, for
the big brother decided to reward merit"
as he called it. and Alec's pockets soon knew
no lack Of marbles.
A messenger-boy stood waiting for a car.
He was tired and warm, and longed for the

seated himself when a lady entered. He
had right to his seat without question; but
he or the lady must stand, as every seat was
occupied. Without moments delay the
boy rose, and the lady thanked him as she
took his seat.

Yes; but "straw will show which way the
wind blows and that boy had the instincts

his blacking-box, and scamper after the ped

him safely through the crowd to the right

generous impulses would be sure to guide him
toward the right paths his kindly hand had
