The IDEAL BoY.-Did you ever
notice the little ragmuffn in the
street with a supremely dirty
face? Tafy, bread and butter
and molasses form the ground
work for the accum ulatiOn of dust
and CRIME, and his cheeks look.
like twin maps of the oceanic
archipelago; his hands and wrists
look like animated tree roots, they
aIe so dirty, and his feet and
ankles partake of the mud they
come in contact with. Of course
you've noticed him. And he. is
the lightest-hearted bunch ofhu-
man nature you ever saw. Dirt
doesn't strike any deeper than
beauty, and within his heart is as
clean little soul, and a great
deal freer one, as ever grew inside
the neatest and slickest young
devotee Of soap and water that
ever lived, washed and suffered.

HE SORT OF GIRL TO GET.--
The true girl has to be sought
for. She does not parade herself
as show goods. She is not fash
ionable. Generally, she is not
rich. But, oh what heart she
has when you find her so large and
pure and womanly. When you see it
you wonder if those snowy things
outside were women. If you gain
her love your two thousand are
millions. She'll not ask you for
a carriage, or a frst-class house.
She'll wear simple dresses and
turn them when necessary, with
no lofty magnificent to frown up
on her economy. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your
SKY parlor, and give you such a
welcome when you come home
that you'll think the parlor higher
than ever. She'll entertain true
friends on a dollar, and astonish
you with the new thought how
little happiness depends on money
She'll make you love homo Gf you
don't you're a brute), and teach
you how to pity, while you scorn
a poor, fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainly tries
10 think itself happy.
Now, do not, pray you, say
any more, 4 can't afford 10 mar
ry.' Go find the true woman, and
you can. Throw away that CT.
gar, burn up that switch cane, be
sensible yourself, and seek your
wife in a sensible way.

EARLY RIsING.-A German ply
sician Of celebrity has lately been
Investigating the subject Of early
rising, and has come to the con-
clusion, that far from making a
man healthy, wealthy and wise,
it has the contrary effect, and
shortens life instead of prolonging
it. In the majority Of cases
which be has investigated, the
long-livers have INDUCED in late
hours, and at least eight out OF
every ten persons who attained
the age of 80 and upward were in
the habit of not retiring to rest
until the small hours, and re-
naming in bed uutil the day was
far advanced. He has no doubt
whatever that early rising is 6
most pernicious habit for those
who 20 to bed late and, like
Charles Lamb, thinks it better for
everybody to delay getting up
until the morning has had a
chance to become wei! aired.

JOB PREsS'TaV'G

PRIvACY.-A worthy wife of
forty years standing, and whose
life was not made up of sunshine
and peace, gave the following SEN
sible and impressive advice to a
married pair Of her acquaintance.
The advice is good: "Preserve
sacredly the privacies Of your own
house, your Married state Of your
heart. Let no father or mother,
sister or brother ever presume to
come between you two, or to
share your joys and sorrows that
belong to you two alone. Build
your quiet world, not allowing
your dearest earthly friend to be
the con6dant of aught that con-
Germs your domestic happiness.
Let moments Of alienation, if they
occur, be healed at once. Never,
no never, speak of it outside, but
each other confess, and all will
come out right. Never let the
morrow's sun find you at variance.
Review and renew your vow-it
will do you good |; and hereby
your souls will grow together, CO.
mented in that love which is
stronger than death, end you will
become truly one"

MRS. BRIGGS CLERK.

He was tall, thin, starVed-look-
ing boy with a little jacket, the
sleeves of which crept half way up
his arms, and a hat that was moth
ing but a brim and when she first
saw him he was eating a crust out
of the gutter. She was only a poor
old woman who kept a little shop
for candy and trimmings; but as
she said, he looked a little like
what her Tom might, if he had
grown up and been neglected, and
she couldn't stand it. She called
to him.:
Come here, sonny and the boy
came. Before she could speak
again, he said:
7 didn't do it. I amt so mean.
Didn't do what?' asked the old
woman.
Break your winder,' said the
boy, nodding toward shattered
pane.
why, I broke that myself with
nv shutter last night said the old
woman. Tn not strong enough
enough to lift EN-, that's the fact.
I'm getting old.
If I'm round when you shut up,
I'll come and do it for you,' he
said. I'd just as soon. What was
that you wanted me for?'
I wanted to know what you eat
that dry crust out Of the gutter
for said she.
Hungry said he. I've tried to
get a job all day. I'm going to
sleep in the alley over there when
it gets too dark for the policemen
to see; and you can't have good
nights sleep without some supper,
even if it is dirty
Ill give ycu some that's cleaner,
said the old woman.
That would be begging said
he.
No. said she, you can sweep
the shop and the pavement, and
put up the shutters for it.
Very we'll, said he. 'Thankee,
then. If 7 sweep up first Ill feel
better
Accordingly she brought him
out a broom. and he did his work
we'll. Afterward he ate his sup
per with a relish. That night he
slept, not in the alley but under the
old woman's counter
He had told her his story. His
name was Dick; he was twelve
years old and his father, whom he
had never seen, was in prison for
life.
The antecedants were not ele-
waiting, but the boy seemed good.
The next morning the old woman
engaged a clerk for her small es.
tablishment. The terms were sim
ple-his living and bed under
the counter.
When the neighbors heard of it,
they were shocked. A street boy

Briggs really wish to be murdered in
her bed ? Did Mrs. Briggs feel quite
safe? She had so much time now
that she was going to take in sew.

toys not only amuse children, but
instruct them also. Very early the
little one shows by it's selection
and use of toys the bent of its
mind and in what direction its

take, the parent should at once

creased them as though he hat
brought blessing.
| One night in spring they tool
the bag from under the pillow, aD(
counted what it held. It was thir
ty dollars.
And I'll begin to make kites to
morrow, Mrs. Briggs, and you'll
see the custom it will bring
You are q clever boy yourself,
said the old woman, and pressed
his hand.
It was a plumper hand than il
had been when it picked the crusts
from the gutter, and he wore clean:
whole garments, though they were
very coarse.
How wrong the neighbors were,
she said. That boy is the comfort
of my life.
So she went to bed with the
treasure under her pillow and
slept. Far on in the night she was
awakened. The room was utterly
dark-there was a ray of light
but she heard a step on the floor.
Who is that 2 she cried.
There was no answer, but she
felt that some one was leaning over
her bed. Then a hand clasped
her throat and held her down, and
dragged out the bag of money, and
she was released. Half sufocated,
she fer moment found herself
motionless and bewildered, con-
scious only of a draught of all from
an open door, and some confused
noises.
Then she sprang to the door and
hurried into the shop.
Dick! Dick! she cried. Dick !!
Dick! help! wake up I'm robbed? =?
But there was no answer. The
door into the street was wide open,
and by the moonlight that poured
through it she saw, as she peered
under the counter, that Dicks bed
was empty. The boy was gone.
Gone! gone! Oh, that was worse
10 poor Granny Briggs than even
the loss of the money; for she had
trusted him, and he had deceived
her. She had loved him and he
had abused her love. The neigh
bors were right; she was fool to
trust street boy, and had been
served rightly when he had robbed
her.
When the dawn broke, the wise
neighbors came into poor Granny's
shop to find her crying, and rock
ing to and fro; and they told her
they had told her so, and she shook
her head. The shop took care of
itself that day. Life had lost it's
interest for her. Her Occupation
was gone but not with her savings.
Money was but money, after all.
He had come to be the only thing
she loved, and Dick had robbed
her.
It was ten o'clock. Granny sat
moaning by the empty hearth.
Good natured Mrs. Jones from up
stairs was seeing to things, and
trying to cheer ner, when suddenly
there was a rap on the door, and a
policeman looked in.
Mrs. Briggs, he said.
Here she is, said Mrs. Jones.
Some one wants to see you at
headquarters said the policeman.
There's a boy there and some
money
'Dick!' cried Mrs. Briggs. oh,
I can't bear to look at him =
But Mrs. Jones had already tied
on her bonnet and wrapped her in
a shawl, and taken her on her arm.

A NUT TO CRACK.

IA N u z " S|2Ao
There was an old woman who lived in hut
About the size of g hickory nut;
The walls were thick and the ceiling low,
And seldom out doors did the old woman go.
She took no paper, and in no book
Of any sort was she seen to look.
Yet she imagined she knew much more
Than man or woman had known before.
They talked in her hearing of wondrous
things.
Of the dazzling splendor Of Eastern Kings,
Of the mountains covered with ice and snow
When all the valley lay green below.
They spoke of adventures by sea and by
land,
Of oceans and seas by cable spanned,
Of buried treasures but though she heard
She ss:d she didn't believe one word!
Aud still she lives in her little hut
About the size Of a hickory nut,
At peace with herself, and quite content
With the way in which her days are spent.
Little it troubles her, | suppose,
Because so very little she knows;
For keeping her doors and windows shut,
She has shriveled up in her hickory nut.
And you, my dears, will no longer grow
If you rest contented with what you know,
But pitiful object you will dwell
Shut up inside of your hickory shell.
