OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Dead Doll.


You needn't be trying to comfort mel tell you
my dolly is dead,
There's no use in saying she isn't, with crack
like that in her head.
It's just like you said il wouldn't hurt much to
have my tooth out, that day;
And then. when the man most pulled my head
off, you hadn't word to say.
And guess you must think I'm baby, when
you say you can mend IL with glue;
As II didn't know better than that! Why, just
70 might make her look all mended-but what
do care for looks?
Why, Clues for chairs and tables and toys and
the backs of books!
my DOLLY my own little daughter. Oh, but it's
the awfulcst crack.
1t Just makes me sick to think of the SOUND when
her poor head went whack
Against that horrible brass thing that holds up
the little shelf
know did it myself
81 think you must be crazy-you'l get her
What good would forty heads do her? ] tell you
my dolly is dead!
And to think | hadn't quite finished her elegant
And took sweet ribbon of hers last night to tie
on that hOrrid cati
''When mymamma gave me that ribbon-I was
playing in the yard
She said TO me most expressly, Here's ribbon
for Hlldegarde.
And went and put it on Tabby. and Hildegarde
me do it;
But said 20 myself, oh, never mind, don't be-
lieve she knew it.
But know that she knew it now. and just be-
Heve, do,
That her poor little heart was broken, and so her
head broke too.
Oh, my baby my little baby wish my head had
been HIT
For I've hit it over and over and it hasn't cracked
bit.
''But since the darling Is dead she'll want to be
buried, of course;
We will take my little wagon, Nurse, and you
shall be the horse,
And II walk behind and cry; and well put her
in this. you see
This dear little bOx-and well bury her there out
under the maple tree.
And papa will make me a tombstone like the
one he made for my bird;
And he'll put what tell him on it--yes, every
single word
shall say Here lies Hildegarde, beautiful doll,
who is dead;
She died of broken heart and dreadful crack
in her head "

Snake and Frog.



Many years ago, while in Ceylon, lived
in house in "Slsve Island" raised on a
high platform. The steps up to the door had
become loosened, and behind them colony
of frogs bad established themselves. ORe
morning l watched snake IA cobrs) creep
up, insert its head into crack, and seize q
frog, which he then and there swallowed.
But the crack that admitted the thin fat
head aud neck of the ophidian would not
permit of the same being withdrawn when
the neck WAS swollen with the addition of
the frog inside it. The snake tugged and
struggled. but in vain, and after a series of
futile attempts disgorged its prey and with
drew its head. But the sight was too tan
talizing. Again the head was inserted in
the crack and the coveted morsel swallowed.
and again the vain struggles to withdraw
were renewed. / saw this repeated several
times, till, gaining wisdom by experience,
the snake seized the frog by one leg, with
drew 1t from its coinge of vantage, and
swallowed it outside.

Hints to Girls.

A wood engrsver being asked why he did
not employ women, replied: IL have en-
ployed women very often and l wish /
could feel more encouraged. But the truth
is that when a young man comes to me and
begins his work, he feels that it is his life's
business. He is to cut his fortune out of
the little blocks before him. Wife, family,
home, happiness, and all are to be carved
out by his own hand, and he settles steadily
and earnestly to his labor, determined to
master it, and with every incltement spur
ring him on. lie cannot marry until he
knows his trade. 1t is exactly the other
way with the girl. She may be as poor as
the boy, and as wholly dependent upon her.
self for living, but she feels that she will
probably marry by and by, and then she
must give up wood engraving. So she
goes on listlessly; she has no ambition to
excel; she does not feel that all her happi-
ness depends on it. She will marry. and
then her husbands wages will support her
She may not say SO, but she thinks so, and
it spells her work"

When l grow big and tail,

Some of our readers may recall how dis
tinctly the aphorism, providence helps

upon their minds by one of Esop's fables.
1t was the one in which the carter, his cart
being stuck in the mud. prays to Jupiter to
help him. "Put your shoulder t. the wheel"
was the response. A clergyman once taught
an old, worn out sea-captain similar les

Indian Ocean. A violent storm drove the
vessel far from the harbor, and all on board
we're exhausted by weary days and sleepless
nights. The vessel had shipped many seas
and was laboring under its heavy cargo,
when suddenly the boiler burstand so injured

are you going to do with the ship2" "What
am going to do2" he replied, with the air of
a man determined to do his best. "Why, to

were united, and Gods blessing followed,
for in day or two they were in port.

that instant came from under the lounge
upon which Mr.. Blsse was sitting, and the
young man ran down stairs with such head
long haste that he fell sprawling upon the
hall floor. While Mr.. BIase was picking
himself up Mr.. Bishop entered from the
street. He dashed past his nephew and ran
to the room from which the latter had made
his exit. The room was filed with smoke
and Frank and Will were throwing water
upon burning rug. Mr. Bishop put out
the fire, replaced the overturned furniture
and then asked quietly:
whats all this about, Frank?"
HE wanted to be startled and we startled
him. We put fire-crackers under the
lounge"
"They told me 1 had nitro-glycerine
about me, said Mr.. Blase, limping into the
loom.
80 he has, interrupted Frank; she's full
of fat, which contains glycerine"
"And he breathes 1000 gallons of nitro
gen every day." added Will.
''But of course it isn't mixed, /" said Frank.
Mr.. Blase went to his room and Mr..
Bishop forgot the incident in an hour. On
the following day good order and good
health in the household were restored, for
Mrs. Bishop returned and took the reins.
Diligence Rewarded.
Peter the Great, the founder of the Rus
sian Empire, had quick insight into charac-
ter, and loved to promote deserving men
from humble life to posts of honor. A
Swedish boy, named Karl Osterman, had
pleasant experience of the Cars habit.
The young orphan emigrated to the New
Empire with group of his countrymen.
He was diligent and enthusiastic, determ-
ined to push his way in the new country.
He had learned German by minglng with
! German emigrants, and all through his
journey had been busy in trying to master
the Russian language. Pencil and chalk
were in constant use to turn Russian into
Swedish words, and reverse the process.
His absorption in such work occasioned
many Jokes at his expsnse, but this made no
change in his habits. The reward came
early. When the company of emigrsnts
reached Russia, Russian officer came into
the room where they were gathered, with
an order from the Gar, written in the Rus
sian language, which he wished also to put
up in the room in German and Swedish.
"Can any one translate this into these two
languagesp he asked. All were silent but
Karl, who volunteered to do it. The officer
wondered at his skill, and applsuded his
readiness. He was the Emperor himself,
and Karl was made one of his Secretaries,
and subsequently became Prime Minister.
