Children's Joys.

The children's world is full of sweet sur
prises:
Our common things are precious in their
sight;
For them the stars shine, and the morning
rises
To show new treasures of untold delight
dance of bluebells in the shady places;
A crimson blush of sunset IN the West;
The cobwebs, delicate as fairy laces;
The sudden finding Of wood-bird's s nest
Their hearts and lips are full of simple
praises,
To Him who made the earth divinely sweet
There dwell among the buttercups and
daisies,
And find his blessings strewn about their
feet.
But we, worn out by days of toll and sorrow,
And sick of pleasures that are false and
vain,
Would freely give our golden boards to
borrow
One little hour of childhood's bliss again.
Yet He who sees their Joy beholds our sad
ness
And in the wisdom of Fathers love,
He keeps the secret of the heavenly gladness-
Our sweet surprises wait for us above.

Wanted to Be Crushed.

An Oil City young man was reading
about recent doiugs in the Arctic
regions, and his best girl was sitting
near by, watching the wagging Of his
mustache as the words rolled out. She
was evidently more deeply absorbed in
the mustache than in the story. He con-
tinued:
"She arrived at the mouth of the
river Lena about three months ago. The
Jeanette was crushed"
"What ?" asked the girl, quickly
standing up.
"Jeannette was crushed by"
"Oh but wasn't that just too lovely
Only think, to be completely crushed
"What are you talking about, dear
est.?" asked the young man, in sur
prise.
81 was saying how grand it was to be
crushed. Did you say it was Lena OF
Jeanette that was crushed ?"
"Jeannette, of course"
"Oh how I wish 1 had been in Jean
nette's place."
Then the press of business necessi
tated turning down the gas.

Just before New Years Day young

curios, and finds him in dispair; the
dealer has just broken an elegant and
very costly Sevres vase.
"I'll buy those bits of you," says the

Smith Wanted What He Ordered.


Some years ago an Austin merchant
whom we will call Smith, because that
was, and is, the name painted on his
signboard, sent an order to New York
firm. He kept very extensive general
store, had plenty of money, kept all his
accounts in apocket-memorandum book,
and didn't know the difference between
double entry bookkeeping and the
science OF hydrostatics.
Among other things he ordered was
IL gross asserted cloth pins,
IL ditto grindstones, -
When he ordered the grindstones he
meant to order an assortment of twelve
grindstones. The shipping clerk of the
New York firm was astonished when he
read the order. He went to the man
ager and said,-
"For heavens sake! what do they
want with twelve gross-one thousand,
seven hundred and twenty-eight grind
stones in Texas?'
The manager said it must be a mis-.
take, and teiegraphed Smith,
"Wasn't it mistake ordering so
many grindstonesa'
Old man Smith prided himself on
never making mistake. He had no
copy OF his order to refer to, and if he
had he would not have referred to it,
because he knew he had only ordered
twelve grindstones. So he wrote back, -
Probably you think you know my
business better than do. | always
order what I want, and 1 want what I
order. Send on the grindstones."
The New York firm knew Smith was
little eccentric but that he always paid
cash on receipt of invoice, and was able
to buy dozen quarries full of grind
stones if he cared to indulge in such
luxuries, so they filed his order as
written and chartered schooner, filled
her full of grindstones, and cleared he,
for Galveston. They wrote to Smith
and said that they hoped the consign
ment of grindstones by schooner would
keep him going until they could char
ter another vessel. Smith sold grind
stones at wholesale, and at low figure
on long time for some three years after
ward. Now, when Smiths wicket
rivals in business want to perpetrate {
practical joke on an innocent hardware
drummer, they tell him that he had
better not neglect to call on Smith, al
they just heard the old many say he
wanted to order some more grindstones
When the drummer calls on Smith
and, with broad smile lighting UP his
countenance, says, "Mr. Smith, I under
stand you are needing some grind
stones," there is painful tableau thai
the reader can better imagine than We
could describe.
