Charley and the Bull.
A TRUE STORY.

4 TRUE STORY.
Once there was little boy named
Charley, who was not afraid of any
thing. He would pick up frogs or bugs,
or walk up to q dog or goat and pat him
lust as if he was an old friend. But he
was a good boy, and never hurt any
creature. He drove the cows home
every evening. Charley loved the cows
that gave him such good milk. and he
used to talk to them as he drove them
along.
One day Charley thought he would
cut across lot that was fenced in. de
had only walked a little way when he
saw a big bull trotting towards him. Do
you think Charley was frightened? Not
bit. He knew it was of no use to run.
As quick as he could, he pulled up q
handful of grass and held it out to the
bull.
The bull was feeling very ugly, for
the men who put him in the field had
beaten him. and choked him with the
rope around his neck. But when he
saw Charley standing there so bravely,
he knew the little boy did not want to
hurt him. He stopped, looked at Char
ley moment, and then quietly ate the
grass from his hand.
Charley pulled some more grass and
gave him, and then some more, and
more, until the bull had enough. Char
ley walked away, with the bull follow
ing him to the fence.
The next evening he pulled some tur-
nips and carried them to the ball. He
liked them very much. Every day after
that Charley carried something good to
his big friend.
But one day Charley's father passed
by the field. He was terribly fright
ened to see his little boy on the bulls
back. riding around the lot. He shout
ed to him, but turned pale when he saw
Charley take hold of the horns and let
himself down over the bulls head. He
expected to see the animal toss the lit
tie fellow in the air; but he only rubbed
his black nose against Charley and let
him run to his papa.
The next day the bull was taken
away, for Charley's papa did not want
him to have such dangerous friend

POOLING GRANDPA.

Little Charlie. blue-eyed boy,
In the morning wakes with joy,
Thinking: snow I'll dress me quick,
And on my Grandpa play trick"
Down the stairs he goes, at last,
To his Grandpa runs 50 fast.
Hurry, Grandpa. dO!' he cries,
With scared look in his eyes:
Our house will burn! Come quick!' cries he.
Poor old Grandpa, scared to death,
Follows Charlie, out OF breath;
Toward the kitchen fast they run.
Charlie, brimful of his fun
means no disrespect, you see,
Such little boy is he),
It's only in-the stove-you knOw!
Why, bless my stars thinks Grandpa. Then:
April 1st has come again.
The April day is bright and fair,
The sunbeams frolic everywhere;
And by-and-by says Grandpa: Who
Would like to take driver Would you.
Grow brighter than the sunny skies.
OF, of he runs, a happy boy,
A ride with Grandpa to enjoy.
Comes back all nicely dressed, at last,
His heart with pleasure beating fast.
But Grandpa is not going to ride.
Poor Charles blue eyes open wide
Said you would go!" "That's hardly true,
Ny boy" says Grandpa; for, you know,
] asked II you would like to go.
You mustn't mind IL April jokes
Are sometimes played by elder folks,

Must April Fools together be-"

A Turk as q Bachelor.

If he be bachelor, Church and State
combine to make life miserable for him.
He must live with his parents, and,
while they still exist, the authorities con-
tent themselves with a general repre-
hension of his ceGbacy. But when they
die, if they leave him homeless, his
troubles begin. 1t is forbidden any
householder to take young man into
his dwelling without permission of the
civil and religious magistrate of the
quarter Before this is granted the
ledger must undergo severe inquiry,
which takes into account not his personal
reputation only, but that of all his kind
red. The landlord. moreover, must dis
play his ability to have this young
stranger waited on without offense to
morals is, without employing his
female servants or the female members
of his family. If the bachelor be rich
enough to occupy house or to rent
..unfurnished chambers" he cannot
possibly obtain that simple privilege
unless he show that a woman of good
repute lives with him therein. Those
who can produce a blameless mother or
sister have no difficulty, when the
Identification has been thoroughly es-
tablished, even an elderly aunt is adj
missible. But if a young man have no
kindred, he may 60 homeless for an
indefinite time. The abolition of the
slave trade is grievance he warmly
feels. In days when this edict was
passed, one could go into the market
and buy female creature, white Or
black, ugly or beautiful, according to
ones means, and thus fulfill the law.
Times have changed. 1t may probably
be the fact that slaves are still to be pur-
chased by those who have cash enough.
Many Turks have assured me it is
so. though l have met with none who
spoke. or admitted that he spoke from
experience. But the cost is very high;
the merchant would not deal with a
young bachelor likely to be thus circum-
stanced, and the transaction would sure
" be discovered. 1.-THE Year Round.

about mile and a half apart near an

death. One was the ship carpenter,
named George Watson, a native of Scot

and he came from New York. They

What the tenant-charman, Mr.. Duugoon' saiu

talked of what h. best understood, agriculture, ana
in his statements may be found one secret of tho

whose notion of valuing farm is to raise the rent
and so commend themselves TO the landlord-takes
