A Boys Troubles.

Poor boy Down to his grave he is
self-willed, disobedient, foolish, slow to
learn, hard to manage, born to evil and
full Of corrections as proof sheet.
He reaches in the fence corner for a
blackberry and pickles up a "pizen"
vine, and so he learns too late the mine
he bought was salted.' y He is spanked
in the cradle, fiogged at school,
and scourged all the rest of his
life, and still it seems to do him no good.
He lives under an Interchangeable law of
pains and penalties. necessarily his
ears are boxed, to every g thou shalt
not' is appended threatening " and
ifyou do, f." and every laundering thou
shalt" is seconded by the terrifying
cor you'll wish you had" Inexorable
is the master of his school. He can
appeal to no board of pardons. No
tender-hearted governor, figuring for
reflections, overlooks his misdeeds.
The administrations has no need of
him or his influence. Do not keep
such late hours, and do not eat hot
suppers at midnight. But all the same
he does keep late hours and have good
times on the sly, poor boy, thinking if
he gets In at roll-call it will never be
known. But as he answers to his
name the order is entered " Dock
that mans life ten years" " Take care
of your teeth is a regulation of the
school. But while nobody is looking,
the foolish boy let's his teeth take care
Of themselves. So he is sentenced to
lose half his teeth and fined $3.50, to be
paid over to the nearest dentist having
jurisdiction. "Do not bite on that
broken tooth," comes the command
from the head of the table. But the
boy tries it just to see what the master
will do about it, and instantly he gets
such box of the jaw that makes him
think he has hit on a thunderbolL.
1t is not bailable offence, and execu-
tion of sentence cannot be postponed
until next term of court. "Do not
run through the wet grass in you slip
pers, y is shouted to him from the up
stairs window. The instant the win
dow is closed he skips across the lawn,
knowing no one can see him, and for
this he is collared and led into the
house, doubled up with rheumatism
for ten years, or perhaps tortured all
the rest of his life. He plays lawn
tennis until he streams from every pore.
Then he hastens to refresh himself with
a glass Of clear, cold ice water. eff
you drink that ice water,'' says his
watchful master, "I will kill you.' -
He believes no one could be so cruel
as that, and drinks the ice water
Often the conditions are ripe for the
judgment, and the sentence is carried
into execution. Sometimes the execu-
tion of this sentence is preceded by
weeks or days of fearful agony, to
teach him that these laws are not to be
trifed ith.-Burdette.

RErrER THAN GOLD.


Ra+ter than grandeur better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousandfold,
Is a healthy body and a mind at ease
And simple pleasures that always piedSei
A heart that can feel tor another's woe,
with sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than Solu.
Rettei than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiifng for bread in an humble
Donbiy blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lusts and cares OF Wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thoughI
Adorn and enoble poor mans COZ,
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests of gentleman
Better than gold is the sweet repose
of the sons of toll when the laDorS close;
Ratter than gold Is the moor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers
RrinS sIeeping draughts on the downy bed,
While luxury pillows its aching head,
The toiler simple no op1ate deems
A shorter route to the land OF dreams.
Retter than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can lind
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glOries of empires passed away
The worlds great dream will thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold
Better than gold is peaceful home,
Where all the fireside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
HalIowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold
And centre there are better than gold.

Correspondence of the Transcript.
LETTER FROM BOSTON.
Boston. Nov. 18th. 1883.

BOSTON, NOV. 1Zln, 1000.
ED. TRANSCRIPT There is really
danger in Boston of suffering from an
excess Of culture. This awful cpl
demic does not seem to have laid such
violent hold of the women as the men
but the sterner sex seem reduced to the
last degree of fnickyism (if you know
what that is). Attenuated limbs and
embroidered music rolls may be mighty
aesthetic but they are hardly up to ones
ideal of manly strength. 1t is truly
melancholy state of affairs when the
boys have all the courage and manli-
ness cultured out of them, leaving in
stead puny effeminate stick who uses
textbook phraseology and talks about
the "Thisness of the now," or other
equally sensible and scientific topics,
and let's woman stand in the street
cars.
1t is truly great thing that America
has at last achieved what will be in
time history of art in America with
a school of painting distinctively her
own. 1t will suffer for a time, as it
has in the past, from foreign snubbing,
but in the future it will have gained in
a proper self-conidence and will prove
itself, if somewhat lacking in detail,
to be broad, generous and true to life.
From the time of Benjamin West,
when in the quaint phraseology of the
Quakers, he was declared to have a
faculty, until the present time Amer
lea has been bashful school-boy, but
school-boy or not, he will father wis
dom, self-confidence and experience,
and in time will be wise, benevolent,
venerable man. Our city has been ac-
tually besieged with great lecturers and |
singers this season. The Symphony |
concert was SO crowded upon the ap-
pearance of Lillian Norton, the great |
prima donna, that hundreds
were turned away unable to get even
room. This great singer is a
genuine Yankee and received her mu-
sical education at the New England
Conservatory.
The political question, though set
tied in one way, is far from being set
tied in another. For a number of
years many of the "best" men have
held themselves aloof from politics, and
in consequence great deal of the
electing has fallen to the rank and file
of the people, and it is a mournful
ruth that the rank and file are not al
Ways either very honest or intelligent.
Matthew Arnold lectures here; on
lext Wednesday evening John B.
Cough on "The Powers that Be-" A
course of lectures will be given at the ,
of Technology by Wood
People are raving over Booth, and af-
airs at the New England Conservatory !:
re livelier than ever. Lillian Norton,
otto Bendix and De Mas gave a con- !
ert there last week which was mu- :

The Champion NIiser.

Dewitt county is entitled to the belt
for the champion stingy man. His
name is Absalom Sprague, and to save
ink he writes it A. Sprag. He built a
large residence-he is very wealthy
out of the proceeds gained by selling
butter and eggs. He would go to town
with pound of butter and a few eggs,
and return home with a board or two.
Some young neighbor boys were at
Clinton on the Fourth of July and
asked Mr.. Sprague to have suthen. -
g l don't drink or smoke" said he,
"but if it's the same to you I'll take
ten cents out of the drawer.' y
When his wife died the kind neigh
bors came to bury her, and they wanted
to pass through meadow-it was in the
spring time-to reach the graveyard.
He would not allow them to pass over
his meadow, but made them lay down
high rail fence and drive through a
boggy cornfeld to the grave. The
lumber wagon containing the corpse
and nearly all of the followers, stalled
in the mud and were obliged to wade
out to the meadow and walk to the
cemetery.
A hard working but INDECENT farmer
called at Sprague's house one evening
and found the old miser hugging few
smouldering Goals in an open fireplace.
No other light dispelled the pervading
gloom. When the neighbor announced
himself, Sprague arose and lighted a
tallow dip candelabra-oyster-can and
filed with hog oil and wooden rag,
style of Henry the Fifth. "Ah,"
said the neighbor, 81 have come to
chat with you upon an important sub
ject." Sprague's eyes glistened as
visions of copper cent came before
him like a spectre. 81 have always
worked hard, been fair in my dealings
with men but now at the end of a long
life l find myself poorer than ever.
You are saving man too, and you
have become rich. Now tell me the
secret of your success in saving"
"Is that all you came to talk about. :"
{" 1t is, my dear neighbor."
well, if that's all, we can talk in
the dark just as well, )" and he blew out
the fagot and covered up the shoulder
ing Goals.
We belive that he would steal money
out of his left pocket with his right
hand if he wasn't afraid his left hand
would catch him at the trick end ex-
pose him. He is one of those kind of
men that would not be satisfied with
the earth he would want the moon
thrown CHICAGO Eye.

is she one of the factory hands ?"
Yes but she lodges with Mrs.
Howell quite out of town, almost she
was here to see me yesterday"
"Oh, 1 see p said he not the most
releyantly. And can you tell me how
to find Mrs. Howell's house :? I suppose
[ could go by and restore this glove to
its owner.
Maggie thought this unnecessary
trouble, but she gave the required direc-
tion and he went out, saying to himself,
{" It can't be my Katy, of course,
but the glove shall go back to its
owner
Mary and Lizzie went to church that
Sunday morning. Katy declared she
couldn't go, having but one glove. l
stayed at home with her, and offered to
keep Mrs. Howell's children for
her, and so persuaded that worthy
woman to attend worship with the
girls.
And this is how it came about, that
while we were having frolic on the
carpet with the children in Mrs.
Howell's room, we heard a ring at
the door, and Bridget having taken
herself off somewhere, there was nohelp
for it but for one of us to answer the
summons.
You go, Katy" whispered l, in
dismay. {" 1 can not appear"
Katy glanced serenely at her own
frizzy head in the looking-glass, gave
pull to her overskirt and a touch to
her collar, and opened the door,
Immediately afterwards I was
shocked by hearing her utter genuine
feminine scream and seeing her drop to
the floor, and that a man, perfect
stranger to me, gathered her up in his
arms and began raving over her in
manner that astonished me. He call
her his "darling" and his town
Katy and actually kissed her before l
could reach her.
1 was surprised at myself afterwards
that / hadn't ordered the gentleman
out, but it never occurred to me at the
time and when Katy came to' and
sat upon the sofa and heard his speeches,
she seemed so much pleased that left
them and took the children up to our
room, feeling bewildered all over.
What shall l say further ? Only |
that Katy lives in the pretty house
in the town, known as DR.. Craig's resi-
dence, where we three !" factory girls'
have a home whenever we wantit And
there are no liquors found on her side
board nor at her table.
One day 1 heard Arthur say, " You
were silly child, Katy, to run away
from me. I should have given up the
point at last, I know"
But there would have been the
splendid cellar and the ten thousand a
year, y answered she. &C 1t would have
been such temptation. We are safer
as it is, dear. Domestic Monthly.

SOME Oxford dons were discussing
the sex of George Fleming, author of
the novel Kismet" and step-daughter
of Mr.. Eugene Benson, of Rome. They
decided that certain passages in that
work could have been written only by
man, and, in order to be confirmed in
their opinion, they sent an invitation
to dinner to the writer through her
publishers. At the appointed time she
floated into the room, a sweet and
charming vision in claret silk and lux

POETRY.
IF L WERE 4 VOICE.
BY CHARLES MAcKAY.

! II I were a voice-a persuasive voice
I That could travel the wide world through,
l would fly on the beams of the morning light
/ And speak 10 men with gentle might,
And tell them to be true.
| I'd fiy I'd ily. DER land and sea,
Wherever human heart might be,
Telling a tale or singing song,
In praise ofthe right-in blame Of the wrong
If were voice-a consoling voice
I'd hy on the wings of the air;
The homes of sorrow aud guilt I'd seek,
And calm and truthful words I'd speak,
To save them from despair.
I'd fly. I'd fly, DER the crowded town
And drop like the happy sunlight, down
Into the hearts of suffering men,
And teach them 10 rejoice again.
If I were voice-a convincing voice
I'd travel with the wind;
And whenever saw the nations torn
.Ey warfare jealousy, or scorn,
Or hatred of their kind,
I'd fly. I'd hv. on the thunder-crash,
And into their blinded bosoms flash,
And all their evil thoughts subdued
I'd teach them Christian brotherhood
If were a voice-a pervading voice
I'd seek tie kings of earth
I'd find them alone on their beds at night,
And whisper words that should guide them
right
Lessons Of priceless worth.
I'd fiy more swift than the swiltest bird,
And tell them things they never heard
Truths which the ages for aye repeat.
Unknown 10 the statesmen at their feet.
If were avoice-an immortal voice
I'd speak in the peoples ear;
And whenever they shouted Liberty
Without deserving to be free,
I'd make their mission clear.
I'd fly, I'd fly, on the wings ofday,
Rcbuking wrong on my Worldwide way,
And making all the earth rejoice
If were a voice-an immortal voice.
