Little Folks Abroad.

Her little sister Belle had been accustomed
to light in the room, and walked in great
distress one night, crying out: "Me can't
see, Aunt Bessie; my eyes are all blowed
out"
A woman in Pittsburg returned to her
nome after a short absence to find the house
shut up in front and Grape on the door.
Her little daughter was playing that her
dbl had just expired.
''three-year old" discovered that the
neighbours hens in her yard scratching. In
most indignant tone she reported to her
mother that Mr.. Smiths hens were "wiping
their feet on our grass"
"But, Freddy, how could you think of
her Immediately that you are sorry"
Freddy goes to Auntie and says: "Auntie,
am sorry you are stupid"
A child was called one day by her mother
to speak to another lady standing near, who
she was told, was grandmother. Looking
at her for a moment, she quickly said: "Oh.
no, she is no grandmother; she is too new to
be grandmother; grsndmothers have gray
hair and wear spectacles."
A little girl once took letter from her
mother to an old lady friend. "Many thanks
my child" she said; "you may tell your
mother that you are good child and are a
faithful little messenger" "Thank you,
ma'am; and shall tell her too that didn't
ask you for ten cents, because mamma told
me not to."-French newspaper.
Some boys learn without difficulty, while
it is impossible to teach others anything. A
schoolmaster was trying to show his pupils
the intricacies of wages. In answer to the
query, "What are wsges?" not boy made
reply, "What does your father get on
Saturday night after his weeks work is
overt" he asked of a little-ten-year-ol
observer of human nature. "Get2" was the
reply, "Why, Master, he goes to the tavern
and gets tight. Is that wages2"

or undertook to teach her little boy to say
his prayers the other evening. She made
him repeat the Lerd's Prayer. He got
along swimmingly until she came to the
words, "Give US this day our daily bread,
when he paused and seemed to be absorbed
in thought. At last he said: ats
no use asking God for that bread.
You can't fool God that way. He knows
we have got biscuits enough in the safe to
last Us for two days."

Put Your Shoulders Back.

Mucn of the proverbial slenderness and
physical frailty of our girls as compared
with those OF other countries, has been
charged to intellectual habits and overwork
in study. 1t is unquestionabiy true that
they need outdoor life, and more education
in development. Many American girls,
through inattention to the way of carrying
themselves, unconsciously contract the habit
of bringing the shoulders forward and stoop-
ing. This position not only detracts greatly
from their appearance, but it Is also very
pernicous in point of health. The cele-
brated Aaron Burr, in letter to his daugh-
ter, Theodosia, afterwards the wife of Gov
ernor Aston, of South Carolina, wrote as
follows on this subject:
Your habit of stopping and bringing
your shoulders forward upon your breast
not only disfgnres you, but is alarming on
account of your health. The continuation
of this vile habit will certainly produce con-
sumption. Then farewell pleasure, fare
well lifel This is no exaggerationl no fic-
ton to excite your apprehensions. And
setting aside this distressing consideration,
l am astonished that you have no more
pride in your appearance; you will certainly
stint your growth and disfgure your per-
son."
There is reason to believe that Miss Burr
gave heed to this admonition of her good
father; for she afterward became renowned
for her beauty as well as for superior men,
tai endowments and accomplishments.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Little Gentleman.

BY MRS. AMANDA SHAW ELsEFFER.
There's gentle little boy,
And his name is Ernest Perry;
Though his face viii beam with joy,
he will never scream when merry.
He is brave and manly, too;
But he never brags about it.
All the best of boys can do
He can do; no one would doubt il.
He Is never rough at play,
Like a street-boy. wild and lazy;
And his games are quite as gay,
II they are not rude and crazy.
He is fond of his mamma,
So he speaks TO her politely;
He Obeys his good papa,
Who will praise his doing rightly.
He has many toys and books,
For he never would destroy them.
To his sisters quiet hooks,
Should he come, VIII not annoy Them
II you'd have a charming time
At feast or Christmas party.
III you wish all things to chime,
When the play is full and hearty;
Who are never rude when merry,
And will always first invite
Such Lad as Ernest Perry.

Japanese Young Folks.

Northern Onrlstlau AuNOCdto.l
There is no country in the world where
there are so many toy-shops, so many chill
dren's fairs, or where older people do so
much for young people, as in Japan. As a
general rule, japanese children are seldom
known TO be punished. They are greatly
petted, and do not quarrel and cry so much
as children in our own country, and are al
ways good -natured, contented and happy.
The children are so unusually good, some
persons say, because their parents allow
them to do as they please; yet if they were
better taken care of and better governed.
perhaps there would not be so many sore
eyed, sOre-headed, crooked-bac children
as others are.
Boys seldom play ball, but find their en-
joyment in stills, tops and kites, some of
which are six feet square and very gay in
appearance, and others are made to sing as
they fly through the air.
Another choice game it battledore and
shuttlecock The battledore is a wooden bat
and the shuttlecock is a round seed stuck
round with feathers. The boys as they play
sing that the wind might blow, and the
girls that it may be calm so that their shut
tlecOcks may fly straight. As for "Mother
Goose literature in the way of story books,
lullabys and nursery rhymes, they are as
plentiful as in our own land, but are char
acteristic of their country. In our games,
for instance, of ''puss wants a corner" and
prisoners base" the devil takes the place
of puss or the officer. japanese children
are peculiarly fond of playing ''make be-
heve," and will pretend" to be sick and
send for the doctor; snake believe" have
tea parties, weddings, and even funerals.
Games of cards are very popular, and after
the manner of our sold maid" Forfeits
are part of almost every game, and consist
with ink and sticking straws in the girls
hair

An Elephants Cunning.
fAnnp

The morality of an elephant is even a
more curious study than his sagacity. A gen.
tleman IN Rangoon bought three young ele-
plants to send to England. They are said
to be very tame, cunning and playful. They
know it is wrong to steal paddy (unhusked
rice), and. although they know where it is
kept, they will not touch it themselves, but,
when the boys go to see them, they will
come up and coil their little trunks around
the boys arm, and pull him along to the
stable, and up to the paddy bag, and make a
cats paw of the boys hand until he makes
up handful of paddy. Then he let's go of
the arm, and turns up the end of his trunk,
opens it like cup, and most coaxingly in
vites the boy to drop in the paddy. If the
boy puts it back into the bag he instantly
seizes bis arm again and makes him try once
more, until he gets the paddy in his trunk,
then he doubles his trunk under, opens his
mouth, and blows the paddy out into his
mouth, and scampers off, feeling as jolly as
a boy does when he has done cunning
thing.

A railroad man is not the proper person to

Be Honorable.

Young folks Rural
Boys and young men sometimes start out
into life with the idea that ones success de-
ponds on sharpness and chicanery. They
imagine that if man is able to 'get the
best of bargain" no matter by what de-
ceit and meanness he carries his point, that
his prosperity is assured. This is a great
mistake. Enduring prosperity can not be
founded on cunning and dishonesty. The
tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a
victim, sooner or later, to the influences
which are working against him. His house
is built upon the sand, and its foundation
will be certain to give way. Young people
can not give these truths too much weight.
Tbs future of that young man is safe who
eschews every shape of double dealing, and
lays the foundation of his career in the en-
during principles of everlasting truth.
Nearly all marbles are made at Oberstein,
Germany. where there are extensive agate
quarries and mills, and the refuse is turned
to account in making marbles for boys to
play with. By the machinery used, about
half bushel of marbles are made in fifteen
minutes.
