Two Little Lambs.

They were not really lambs. They
were dressed alike in frocks and aprons
and both had long curls. Such beauti-
full curls One was Robbie and the 9TH
er BERTHE.
Robbie Lane lived in the city. He
had come with his mamma to visit his
cousin BERTHE Collins, who lived in the
country.
That morning the little boys had been
to see the sheep sheared. Doyou know
how it was done ?
The sheep were driven down to the
brook. where the hired man took them
into the water, one by one, and gave
each washing. Then, with q large
pair of shears, he cut off the clean
white wool.
BERTHE and Robbie liked to watch the
lambs capering about. When they went
back to the house they PLAYED at being
lambs. How they ran, and frisked, and
cried ..ba-a-a ba-a-a!"
BY and bv Robbie said: Lets we
have a shearing." But BERTHE shook
his head. "Oh. no, we're only Lambs"
''Never mind" urged Robbie ..our
wool is long enough to cut" So he
stole into the kitchen. and took pair
of scissors that Aunt Elsie had left on
the table.
The cousins ran around to the back
of the barn. They wet their heads in
the big cattle trough; and then Robbie
cut eft all Bertie's beautiful yellow
curls Then it was Berries turn. He
took the scissors. and shipped away at
Robbie's hair. The last long brown
curl was just falling to the ground.
when the two mammals came to call
them to dinner.
'.For PHYS sake!" That was all
Mamma Collins could say. The tears
gathered in her eyes. She had felt so
proud of those yellow curls
BERTHE looked up half frightened, as
he explained: 1--WE are two little
| lambs"
1.-TWO little lambs You look more
like two little monkeys ~ 1t was
Mamma Lane who spoke. Then
she couldn't help laughing, as she
looked at the two funny heads; for you
must know that Robbie and BERTHE had
never learned to cut nicely.
Never mind, Elsie." she went on.
1T can't be helped now; and to tell
the truth, think those boys have been
made girls of quite long enough"
The next day they all went to town.
The little lambs were first taken to q
BARRIERS shop. and then to clothing
store, and before they returned had
been changed into real boys in pants
and jackets. Little Ones.

A Gallant Deed.

Charles T. Vansant, who was killed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad the other
evening, was the hero of once of the most
gallant episodes of the late war. He
bore the colors OF his regiment at Ball .
Bluff, and when, during a desperate
charge, his Colonel was shot, he bore
him. from the field. and then returned,
amid a hail of bullets. to rescue the rag.
Five times was it captured by the Rebels,
and regained by Vansant in a hand-to-
hand struggle. At last he broke away
with the flag and reached the river.
His enemies were at his very heels, but
he plunged into the water. dived to the
bottom. placed the flag there under q
stone, and then swan 70 the other shore
and escaped Afterward he revisited
the spot, and succeeded in finding and
restoring to the regiment the flag he had
so desperately defended.

BE TRUE TO YOUR BOYHOOD, MY
BOY

In the days of my youth, / remember,
A blithe mower sang me this rune:
The aftermath of the September
= not the sweet clover of June"
And he said: "Whate'er be thy profession,
Whatever thy hands may employ,
Start out with life's foremost procession,
And be true to your boyhood. my boy.
And he whetted his scythe, the old farm
And cut the tall grass to the rune
The aftermath of the September
is not the sweet clover Of June"
And once when the autumn was smiling
met the old mower again,
The thin swaths OF the aftermath piling
lis the few lead the world, not the many:
lis the few that life's blessings enjoy;
And your chance is as good as is any;
Be true to your boyhood, my boy
And he whetted his scythe, the old
farmer.
And cut the thin grass to the rune:
The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover Of June"
But count oflit not in thy plan:
In life's purpose and struggle find pleasure
That pats y worthy the heart of man,
Whatever thy effort debars-
The lamps of the gay billiard palace
Are not the bright lamps of the stars"
And he whetred his scythe, the old
And cut the thin grass to the rune:
1.-THE aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of June"
" In the old time were wreckers in Cornwall:
And false lights they set on the coast,
And the sailors beheld the bright beacons
And steered for the reefs, and were lost.
And sin like fair lamp is cleaning
In secret thy soul to destroy:
False lights are its proftless pleasures;
Be true to your boyhood, my boy"
And he whetted his scythe, the old
farmer,
And cut the thin q ASS to the rune:
The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of June"
Then early be active and earnest;
The youth that is chary of toll
Is like the Improbable sower
That spares the full seed to the soil
And remember the great hopes of Heaven
Were meant for the young to enjoy,
And they may have harvests immortal
Who are true to their boyhood my boy"
And nc whetted his scythe, the oi6
farmer,
And cut the thin grass to the rune:
The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of June"
