Boy.

The natural history Of boy is an
interesting study. 1t is hard for the
old folks to look at things from his
standpoint, because their memories
are short. However, he will grow
old soon enough, and the era Of mud
pies and marbles will fade only too
quickly.
Only a boy, with his noise and fun,
The yeriest mystery under the sun:
AS brim fulLof mischief and witand glee
As ever human frame could be,
And as hard to manage as-Ah! All! me!
'Tis hard to tell,
Yet we love him well.
We can't see why it should be fun
for him to put a bit of orange peel on
the sidewalk and then watch until
the unwary traveller lies on his back,
spluttering all the oaths which the
living and dead language afford, or
to tie a string from the door to the
lamp-post just opposite, high enough
to knock off everybody's hat who
hurries along, or to slip out the tail
board Of a lemon cart and then start
the horse on a run, while the dis.
mayed vendor crashes his teeth and
expresses the wish that the cholera
would come quickly and make short
work Of the little rascals. No we
can't see the sport in all of that; but
twenty years ago we did. We can't
remember that we ever stopped the
chimney up and filled the house with
smoke, or put particles of gunpowder
in the middle Of the old gentleman's
cigar, and then watched for the ex-
plosion, looking so meek and absorb
ed in our geography lesson that the
victim Of our mishchief thought
there must be q mistake somewhere,
and if he thrashed us he would do
injustice to an innocent student.
Well, that is probably what We did,
nevertheless, and that is just what
other boys are doing nowadays:
Only a boy, who will bea man
If nature goes on with her first great
plan
If water, OF fire, or some fatal snare =
Conspire not to rob US OF this ur heir,
Our blessings, our trouble, our rest, our
care,
Our torment, our Joy,

the past six months he has been
studying for the ministry, says the
Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette, and it
occurred to Bill several days ago that
just before instituting a revival, it
would be good idea to get married.
He mentioned the subject to young
lady and asked her to share his min
isterial melancholy and hilarity, but
the young lady said she had promis-
ed to marry zeb. Monk, the profess
sional well-cleaner of the neighbor-
hood. "oh, WE'LL" said the minister,
81 am pretty well acquainted with
Zeb, and ! don't believe he'll kick"
The young lady finally agreed, and
the wedding day was fixed.
Grand preparations were made.
The girls brothers had caught a
couple Of 'possums and the old lady
had baked an immense sweet potato
pie. The Justice of the Peace arriy.

The Justice proceeded with the cere-
mony, when Zeb. Monk walked in

"See me buy his soul for two cents"
was the remark of workman at
Springfield, Mass, about man for
whom he had worked, who was es,
teemed a generous public giver, and
had come into the shop to get some
work done. The man laid two
cent piece on the counter and turned
away. The visitor soon saw the
coin, and, after hastily looking about
the room to see that no one was look
ing, picked up the money and put it
in his pocket. When he came to
pay for his repairs he was charged
twenty.seven cents. AS he had gen
orally paid but twenty-five cents for
the same work he inquired what the
extra two cents were for, and, after
some urging, he was gently informed
that it was to pay for the two cents
he had picked up. He seemed all at
once to have important business ut
home.
