HOW JIMMIE BROWN
STUDIED WASPS.

We had lecture at our place the
other day, because our people wanted
to get even with the people of the
next town, who had return mission
ary with a whole lot of idols the week
before. The lecture was all about
wasps and beetles and such things
and the lecturer had a magic lantern
and everything that was adapted to
improve and verify the infant mind,
as our minister said when he intro
duced him. I believe the lecturer
was bad, wicked man who came to
our place on purpose to get me into
trouble. Else why did he urge the
boys to study wasps and tell us how
to collect wasp's nests without being
stung? The grown-up people thought
it was all right, however, and Mr..
Travers said to me: 'sListen to what
the gentleman says, Jimmy, and i'm
prove your mind with wasps.''
Well, I thought l would do as I
was told, especially as l knew of a
tremendous big wasp's nest under
! the caves of our barn. / got ladder
and lantern the very night after the
lecture, and prepared to study wasps.
The lecturer said that the way to do
was to wait till the wasps go to bed,
and then to creep up to their nest
with a piece of thin paper all cover
ed with mucilage and clap it right
over the door of the nest. OF course
the wasps can't get out when they
wake up in the morning, and you can
take the nest and hang it up in your
room; and after two or three days,
when you let the wasps out and feed
them with powdered sugar, they'll
be so tame and grateful that they'll
never think of stinging you, and you
can study them all day long and
learn lots of useful lessons. Now is
it probable that any really good man
would put boy up to any such non-
sense as this? It's my belief that
that man was hired by somebody to
come and entice all our boys to get
themselves stung.
| As ! was saying, got ladder
and a lantern and piece of paper
covered with mucilage, and after
dark / climbed up to the wasp's nest
and stopped up the door, and thel
brought the nest down in my hand

HOW COMETS AFFECT THE
EARTH,

The influence of comets upon the
earth is in all probability quite in
significant They may, affect the
earth's magnetic condition, and thus
to some extent, possibly, its meteor
Iology. No such effect has ever been
perceived. In spite of some chance
condolences between the apparitions
of great comets and remarkable pub
lie events, no well informed person
now believes that there is any real
connection between them. By lib
eral and credulous Interpretation of
any frequently occurring celestial
phenomenon, similar condolences
could be shown.
When a comet is converted into
meteoric bodies, which impinge upon
the earth's atmosphere, there is some
direct though probably minute effect.
Some have thought that sensible
portion Of the heat which the earth
receives is generated in this way !;
but the weight of scientific opinion
seems to be against that hypothesis.
The impact of meteors upon our at
mosphere must add some matter to
it, and this is probably in the form of
dust. This may the be origin of the
socalled cosmic dust, which has been
collected at sea in recent times. The
finer particles of it may have some
influence on cloud formations, and
other meteorological phenomena: but
all this is merely conjecture.
A more remote effect may be sought
in the possible fall of meteors and
comets upon the surface of the sun.
Owing to his vast bulk, the sun would
attract an immence number of bodies !;
but it is quite certain that their effect
upon the SUMS heat is insignificant.
1t is now generally admitted that we
must look for the the origin of the
suns heat in constant, though to
us, imperceptible shrinkage of his
vast bulk.
| Some connection between the fire.
quency of sun-spots and comets has
been rather vaguely suspected. Were
the search for comets Systematically
pursued with equal persistence for a
long period, we might have some
data for the formation of a sound
opinion. Yet it would still be an
open question, whether comets cause
the spots, or whether greater activity
of the sun tends in some way to rem
der comets brighter, so that more will
be visible-with probability in favor
of the latter supposition.
Finally, it ma be, said,s with all
due respect to scientific decorum, that
the appearance of comet does exert
one most happy influence on the earth.
in that it stimulates the curiosity OF
mankind, and directs their thouhts to
the more particular contemplation OF
the glorious universe which surrounds
them.-Prof. Boss.

but just then mother called me so /
put the nest under the seat of our
carriage and went into the house
where l was sent to bed for carrying
the lantern to the barn and the next
morning forgot all about the nest.
I forgot it because / was invited to
60 ON picnic with Mr.. Trayers, and
my sister Sue and whole lot of peo-
pie, and any fellow would have for
gotten it if he had been in my place.
Mr.. Travers borrowed fathers car
riage and he and Sue were to sit on
the back seat, and Mr.. Travers' aunt
who is pretty old and cross, was to
sit on the front seat with DIR. Jones,
the new minister, and ] was to sit
with the driver. We all started about
nine o'clock, and a big basket of
provisions was crowded in the car
riage between everybady's feet.
We hadn't gone more'n a mile
when Mr.. Travers cries out: ssMy
good gracious Sue, I've run an aw-
full pin into my leg. Why can't you
girls be more careful about pins 2"
Sue replied that she hadn't any pins
where they could run into anybody,
and was going to say something more
when she screamed as if she was kill
ed, and began to jump up and down
and shake herself. Just then DIR.
Jones jumped about two feet straight
into the air and said: "Oh my!" and
Miss Travers took to screaming:
s'Fire Murder! Helpp' and slap
ping herself in way that was quite
awful. | began to think they were
all going crazy, when all of a sudden
remembered the wasp's nest. Some
how they had got out and were ex-
ploring all over the carriage. The
driver stopped the horses to see what
was the matter, and turned pale with
| fright when he saw DIR. Jones catch
the basket of provisions and throw
| it out of the carriage and then jump
right into it. And then Mr.. Travers
and his aunt and Sue all came flying
out together, and were all mixed up
with DIR. Jones and the provisions on
the side of the road. They didn't
stop long, however, for the wasps
were looking for them, and they felt
as if they must come home for arnica
and besides, the horses had run away
though they were caught afterward,
and didn't break anything.
This was all because the lecturer
advised me to study wasps. L fol-
lowed his directions, and it wasn't
my fault that the wasps began to
study Mr.. Travers and his aunt, and
Sue and DIR. Jones, and me and
George. But father, when he Was
told about it, said that my "conduct
was such," and the only thing that
saved me was that my legs were stung
all over, and father said he didn't
have the heart to do any more to them
with switch.-Harper's Young Peo-

THE Wears SERMON.

Whatsoever you find to do.
Do it boys, with all your might;
Ever be little true,
Or little in the right.
Trifes even
Lead to heaven,
Trifes make the life of man;
So in all things,
Great or small things.
Be as thorough as you can.
Let no speck their surface dim
spotless truth and honor bright
I'd not give fig for him
Who says any lie is white
He who falters.
Twists or alters
Little atoms when we speak.
May deceive me.
But believe me
To himself he is sneaki
Help the weak If you are strong;
Love the old if you are young;
Own fault if you are wrong;
Ifyou're angry hold your tongue.
In each duty
Lies beauty
If your eyes do not shut;
Just as surely
f. And securely
As kernel in nut!
If you think word will please,
Say it if it is but true;
Words may give delight with ease
When no act is asked from you.
Words may often
Soothe and soften
Gid a joy or heal pain;
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
1t is wicked to retain
Whatsoe'er you find to do,
Do it then with all your might;
Let your prayers be strong and true.
Prayer, my lads. will keep you right.
Pray in all things,
Great and small things,
Like Christian gentleman;
And for ever,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.

TEACH THEM INTEGRITY.

Business men say that it is hard to
find boys who can be trusted with the
handling of money. They cannot
withstand the temptation; and, now
a-days, owing to various causes,
temptations are stronger than former
ly. Many of the Office and errand
boys of to-day are holding positions
of trust made so by the necessities of
business, and they are the children,
for the most part, of men whose sta
tions in life have not showed them
the principles of business integrity.
The boys themselves, unused to the
luxury of spending money, charmed
by its destinations, induced by older
companions sometimes, are led to
petty thieving. The desire to spend
is natural enough, but few boys are
philosophical enough, either by ma
ture or training, to withstand the
temptation of availing themselves of
the opportunities to steal small sums.
Their home training has not made
them strong and honest. The exist
ence of this evil is suggestive to par
ents who expect their children to en-
ter the lowest place of mercantile
life; it is also suggestive to parents
who are lavish of money with their
boys, and it is also suggestive to the
business men who are, and who are
to be, dependent ON help of this kind.
1t is not enough that boy s'takes
to" business life; as in any other
science, he should be instructed, and
his instructor should be his employer,
who should be qualified to instruct.
The elements of business, and not
the least among them is integrity,
should be taught him, and taught him
thoroughly, at home.

MUCH WATER HAS FLOWED.


Since the day when met her-when she was young.
And was only light-haired lad.
And fell in love with her careless tongue.
And pretty turn of the head she had.
And once-ah, me,
Could any one see!-
l stood where the river runs down to the sea,
And thought of that petuant trick she had
Till wished I were not such a worthless lad;
And thought of the grace of her pleasant tongue,
Till wished I were not quite so young.
Since the days when she grew little shy,
And forgot the trick of the pretty head
Forgot the glance of the wayward eye
And dropped the lashes adown instead.
Once. long ago
Could any one know?
I asked her a question, she answered low,
And we stood apart in the happy world.
Under the banner of light, our love unfnrled,
And kissed her lips eer set her free.
Where the moon-kissed river must meet the sea.
Much water has flowed since those happy days,
Under the bridge where the waters meet,
Together we tasted of blame and praise,
And found that life is bitter and sweet.
And the time-ah me!
iE And all may see
Has left me white as white may be.
But the love can never be quenched by tears.
That grew to life in my wife's young years.
And together we look down hopefully.
To where the river has met the sea.
