Animals That Glide rown ELL.

Jack and his friend Larry were making
their way through the woods one winter
afternoon to look at a rabbit trap that Jack
had set few days before. As they reached
the edge of a little pond they saw some
thing that made thsm stare at each other
with open.eyed establishment.
At little distance from them, on a
bank slippery as glass, were three small
animals which they had never seen before,
sliding down.hill on their stomachs, with
their short legs stretched straight out be-
hind. They seemed to be taking turns,
like little boys on a sliding pond. They
would crawl up the hill, and then 90 Slid
ing down 70 the ice and into hole caused
by the escape OF the air. This they re.
peated continually, and seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely.
Jack was the first to speak. Isn't that
most extraordinary p he said, laughing
land if am not crazy, those two little
fellows at the top of the Glide are certainly
quarreling about whose turn comes next
Just as Joe Dempsey and Pete Crane were
doing the other day"
At that moment Larry reached cut and
broke twig to get better view of
them. 1t made loud swapping noise,
and away went the three creatures down
the slide into the water, and that was
the last to be seen of them.
"Why didn't we shoot them? asked
Jack.
81 never thought OF it." said Larry.
Nor l, said Jack, and they both
laughed to think how stupid they had
been.
wonder what they are: We must
hurry home, for it is getting late, and tell
grandpa. l have no doubt but that he will
be able to tell us all about it.
On reaching home they found the old
couple sitting down to tea, not knowing
when the boys would be home. They told
grandpa all about it.
"Now, what do you call these little ami
mails !" asked Larry.
"Why," said grandpa, clearing his
throat, "theY are offers. They must
have been young ones that you saw.
The old ones grow sometimes to be FIVE or
six feet long from the nose to the tip of the
tail but they are very SLY and are very
difficult to catch. They are very expert
swimmers, and are always found where
there is plenty of trout and salmon, which
they feed upon.
cold trappers say that they are the
wisest of animals. being more sagacious
than the fox. have trapped them, and,
disguise your trap as you will. the chances
are that they will fad it out. and get the
bait without springing it. They will
sometimes even drag it considerable dis
tance, chain and all. The young ones are
very playful, but the old ones are always
on guard to protect them, and give the
alarm when danger is near.
"Their skins are very valuable, owing to
the beauty and fneness of the fur, and the
growing scarcity of the animals. Large
gums are paid for the skins, which vary in
quality, some being much finer than
others. Many an otter skin have 1 sold, and
for good price, for in my young days they
were very plenty in this neighborhood.
Get that book upon the shelf there back OF

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Little Justine.

There's touch Of frost in the crisp, fresh air,
Aud the trees and hedges are growing bare,
And autumn SAYS Z" IL is my tura now,
And she strips the leaves from the patient bough.
All in the bright morning comes little Justine
With the preItiest bossy that ever was seen,
But though he's so sleek and handsome = CALI
He has too much will of his own by half.
And he does rot like TO be led away
From his mothers side in the early day;
Where the little maids feet so lightly go,
He veers about and he trots SO slow.
He'd say if only the power had he,
" Justine why couldn't you let me bei

To yonder barn by the poplar trees"
"a milk is good and clover is tough,
And haven't begun 10 have breakfast enough:
And know the pasture you lead me to
Is cold and wet with the frosty dew"
''Tis lovely place shall tether You in,
There are many there of your kith and kin:
You'll not be lonesome, there's plenty 10 eat,
You must learn TO ni0ble the grass so sweet"
But little Justine, with a merry laugh,
Cries " Hurry, my beau iful bossy calf
You will have nothing to do all day
But to sleep and to eat and to frisk and TO play
The wind blows her pretty blue cloak away
From her scarlet skirt and her apron gray,
Aud ruiiies the mass Of her yellow hair,
And kisses her checks that are rosy and fair
And she looks so charming and hlithe and gay
AS she trips SO carelessly down the way
But the bcssy hangs back, and 80 dear, thinks he

BOYS LsARsING TRADES.

DIR. Frances A. Walker, the efficient and
enthusiastic head of the Boston Institute
of Technology, is reported to be doing ex.
cellent work in the way OF inducing many
Of the boys OF that city to become me-
chanics. The tendency OF boys generally
in this country, especially during the last
twenty-five years, has been in favor Of
adopting one or the otner of what is
called the learned professions, and the re-
suit already reached is, that with the ex-
oeption of the clergy the learned profess
sions are all overcrowded, and the law and
medicine, which, in the country's earlier
days, were broad, straight roads to honor
and wealth, are no longer so ; indeed, it is
only in exceptional cases that they are not
the narrowest, crookedest, toughest and
longest roads of all to fame or riches.
They are filled TO OVERLOOKING with young
men of fair ability, struggling desperately
for the bare necessaries of life. But the
places which technically educated mechsn-
les should fill are generally empty, for
mechanics is not considered a profession,
and our boys have preferred failure in q
profession to success 10 the workshop. Ii

vince them that mechanics is a certain

the way TO success an easy one. Such

but with his brains plan schemes, invent
and improve machinery, manufactures,
railroads, mines, furnaces and FORCES, and
all that results through labor from them.

WHAT is THE USE?

What is the use of this impetuous haste?
The end is certain Let us take our time,
And hoard the vital forces that waste
Before our day has reached its golden prime.
What is the use of rushing with spent breath
After old aga, its burrows, its white hair?
Why need we hurry on to welcome Death,
Or go half way, with hands stretched out, to Care
There is no use Dear heart, if We but wait
All things will find US. Let us pause, say.
We cannot 20 beyond the silent gate
That lies short days journey down the way.
So let US take our time in youths fair bowers,
The summer season is so brief at best
Let US look on the stars, and pluck the flowers,
And when our feet grow weary, let US rest.
Let us take time for love and its delight
1t is the one sweet thing that pays for all
The bitterness Of life, for Sorrows blight
For Pains despair and Deaths funereal pail.
In that lost era when the world was new,
Love was mems first pursuit and lifes excuse.
Now has that time come back to me and you
Why should we seek for more: What is the use
