The MischievOus Child.

Here is little child who is a great
tease and trouble. He is always asking
to do this or that impossible or unper-
missible action. He bursts in abruptly
upon the conversation of his seniors.
He destroys all peace in the house by
shouts and screams, imperious demands
on the time and attention of every one,
endless Interruptions of every ones af-
fairs. He is an imp of mischief, break.
ing furniture, overthrowing inkstands
on the carpet, setting fire to valuable
papers, driving nails into the furniture.
How shall you abate this nuisance :?
You may try to destroy These bad habits
by scolding him, by reduces, by lee.
lures, by punishments. This is one
way. but not the best. These bad hab.
its often spring from an instinct of &C.
tivity, an intense desire to do some
thing, which the Creator has given the
child as means Of mental and moral
growth. In trying to pull up tho tares
you are in danger of roofing out the
whest also. If you succeed by force
in changing this disagreeable torment
OF perpetual activity into q dull quiet,
you have changed bright boy into q
dull one. A better way than to destroy
his tendency is to fulfill it by giving
him plenty of occupation OF an inno-
cent kind. Give him heap of sand to
dig in, blocks to build houses with, q
box of tools and board to saw. Set him
at some work useful or interesting, or,
at least, harmless. He will like this
better than he will like mischief. All
his irregular activity was a cry for
something to do.

Mr.. Lincoln, in September, 1859,
made political speech in Cincinnati.
and after it was over, sat far into the
morning with Governor Corwin and
Judge A. G. w. Carter, all three talk
ing politics and telling stories. Some
thing was said of nominating Lincoln
for the Presidency. $50" he said,
"you really think there is chance
for me? Well, Mr.. Corwin, I don't
think there is anything in it, and
the fact is, I don't encourage the idea,
for 1 have no ambition to be President.
That never entered my head. Indeed,
Mr.. Corwin, 1 do not think that I am
fit to be the President of these United
States. l have not the requisite abil-
ity. I am not competent to fill the
Presidency. l can not compare in any
thing with Chase and Seward. Now
I'll tell you what Il am willing to run
for Vice. President, if the convention
will nominate me for that, and the Re
publican party is willing. ! think that
with a little study of Cushing's Jeiier-
sons Manual / might acquire enough
knowledge to sit in the chair OF the
Vice-President and preside over the de-
hberstions OF the Senate"

A Lady's Fight With an Eagle.

In the township of Preston. Pa,
part of which has still all the features
of primitive wilderness, are several
curious hilltop lakes filled with fish
and haunted by hawks and eagles.
Mrs. UT, a farmers wife, living near
one of these lakes. had an exciting en-.
counter one day with one of these
fierce birds, and Honsdale CORE
spondent of the Pittsburg Chronicle
tells how it was:
While her husband was absent in
Deposit. Mrs. UT heard commotion
among the chickens in the barnyard,
and, on running out, found her game
rooster gallantly fighting with what
she supposed was very large hawk,
which was trying to fasten its talons
in the chicken. The two birds were
80 deeply engaged in the combat that
Mrs. Utt's shouts did not brighten the
enemy away.
She picked up q stick and ran into
the barnyard, and struck the intruder.
This did not apparently alarm it..
Then she seized j: by the neck with
both hands, and for the first time saw
that it was an eagle. The powerful
bird buried its claws deep in Mrs. Utt's
arm. She did not dare let 60 her hold
although the eagle was tearing her
flesh dreadfully. She frightened her
grasp on its throat, and then threw her.
self heavily to the ground upon it.
In this way she kept it down, and
choked it to death. The flesh on Mrs.
Utts arm was torn to the bone in
places. The eagle measured nearly
tive feet from tip to tip.

Wise Words.

A good name keeps its luster in the
dark.
Great truths and great men are always
simple.
The wild oats of youth change into
the briars of manhood.
1t costs us more to be miserable than

When great man stoops or trips the

1t is easy enough to find plenty of

A mans nature is best perceived in

A library is not like dead city of

A very singular accident recently
happened to Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta passenger train. AS the engine
passed over the frog of the switch it
jumped the track, and, striking the side
track, ran along on the cross ties of this
for distance equal to twice its length,
and then mounted the rail. So when
the train was stopped by application of
the air-brakes, the engine--all the
wheels of twas on the side track, the
cars on the main track and the tender
of the engine between the two tracks
In all the confusion and changing around
of things nothing was broken and no
one was hurt.-Boston Journal.

Trials OF an Oysterman.

care you in a hurry ?" a Brooklyn
oyster-dealer inquired of Q man for
whom he was opening his third oyster.
The man had ordered dozen, and WAS
plainly in haste, but seeing that q lady
had entered the saloon, he said that he
had plenty of time. and began to MUNICH
broken crackers until the FISHERMAN
was again ready to wait upon him.
What can do for you, ma am ?"
the dealer inquired, turning to the
lady.
"Are your Goldfish fresh?" the Gus.
toner demanded, looking suspiciously
at some large ones on the board.
"Only two hours out of the water"
the dealer answered. Hardly dead
yet. Only six cents pound"
Weigh that one for me-" tho lady
said. The fish weighed five pounds;
that was too large; another weighed
two, but that was too small. A third
weighed three and half; that was lust
right; but the lady had changed her
mind, and preferred paddock. This
also, was six cents, and fish of suita-
BILE weight was soon found; but four
cents pound was all that the customer
was willing to give. Moreover, she
had now set her heart upon smells, and,
as there were none in the saloon, she
turned her attention to oysters.
:" I want them for frying" she said.
=" How much are they hundred ?"
"A dollar and q quarter" was the
reply; "and cheaper a. that than You
can get them anywhere else in the
CITY,"
"Then open fifty for me, if you
please ?"the lady said.
Will you allow me to attend to this
gentleman first ?" the dealer asked,
pointing to the man who had been
obliged to take recess after eating
three oysters.
" Certainly not, ," the lady said, snap
pishly. I'm in hurry" and as the
man had by this time finished nearly
all the crackers, and, in great meas
ure, lost his appetite for oysters, he
said, politely, that he was willing to
wait.
The fifty oysters were opened, and,
after closely examining them, the lady
said
Now, I don't mind giving you fifty
JULIUS IoE IAose, IL you Will paste them
over with -four and egg, and fix them
up for frying just as they do in Fulton
market"
The dealer breathed very hard as he
looked at his unpromising customer.
" Perhaps" he said, "you would like
me to go to your house and cook them
for YOU"
Without another word the lady gath
cred up her gloves, handkerchief, and
reticule, restored her purse to its place
in the latter receptacle, and, bestowing
upon the dealer a look of combined
scorn and indignation, swept out of the
saloon.
Well, women is queer creatures,
theldealer muttered, as he looked at the
receding form. Skinhints, all of 'em,
l wouldn't trust my own wife where
bargain was to be had" And he turned
around to find the man who had eaten
the three oysters. But that person had
forgotten to pay for the oysters, emp
tied the bowl of broken crackers, and
gone Out.-N. Y, Sun.
