both agree that he shall have all the
glucose candy he wants, and a pair Of
red-top boots as soon as his feet are
big enough to hold them on. -
2. His Aunt Jane thinks him tor
ment. Having held fast to her integ-
rity, she scorned to enter the bonds Of
wedlock, and is now drawing out her
attenuated life in the home of her
brother, and this little Tommy is a
nuisance She tries to make him walk
like soldier, and be as polite as
candidate for the Squire's Office. But
she can't make him do it; it isn't in
him. He aoiU stick his fingers into
all sorts Of places, and eats like a
young barbarian. And when Christ
mas comes, he blows his tin whistle,
and shakes his rattles, and bangs his
drum until Aunt Jane really fears she
will be compelled to go into Mysteries,
or become insane, or some other sensi-
BILE thing. She, really, can't see any
thing on earth for such monstroslty.
8. HIS Teacher is puzzled. He
graduated at college, and can speak
the dead languages, and he feasts on
latin roots with all the gusts Of a Dig
ger Indian; but Tommy is problem
too difficult for him to solve. He
puts him on the Ounce block, and
when dominie's back is turned he
makes the school a mimic speech. He
seats him beside the girls, and he is in
transports of delight. He brings in
the rod and ''lays on Macduff," and
the boy lifts up his voice and weeps.
Crocodile tears of penitence roll down
his cheek. The master EFFORTS the
most solemn promises Of future good
behavior, and the apparently heart
broken boy is sent to his seat. Dom
inc is almost sorry he undertook to
punish him; it has almost broken the
boys heart. But inside Of five min
utes Tommy has bent pin and drop
ped it on the seat Of the tow-headed
boy next to him, who has partly raised
from his seat. I need not linger on
the catastrophy. You have been a
school-boy yourself.
4. The Politician wonders what
ticket he will vote when he attains
his majority, and adroitly lays his
schemes Of future influence by sundry
gifts Of the delicious peanut, thus
planting foundation of respect and
consideration on which he expects tc
build his fortune some day.
5. What God Thinks of Him.
However lightly others may esteem
him, I would have you remember thai
God made him. He turned aside from
his vocation long enough to create
him. And such creation! A watch
maker showed me some drills so fnt
that they had to be examined by mi
croscope; so delicate are some Of th'
operations in that branch of labor
But what is the mechanism of watcl
to that Of a human body! "What
piece of work is mani" A Thousand
complications Of nerves, and muscles
and bones, and organs. A wondrou
array Of levers and pulleys, and joint
and hands. In the organs Of hearin!
the tympanum, the lucus, malleus
stapes, labyrinth. In the organs o
vision, the lenses, the iris, the rod
and cones, the optic nerve, all so won
drously planned and so skillfully an
delicately executed, indicate that hi
Creator took great pains to make hir
we'll. He certainly intended this ere
alton to accomplish some great pu,
pose, else He would not have give
him so wondrous all organism.
But his intellect is far more intr
cate and wonderful than the body. !
is master Of the magnificent machin
which we have just been considering
1t telephones from the capitol seat t
all parts Of the body, expanding
muscle here, contracting another on
there, and thus moving the body al
cording to it's own sweet will. Thi
intelligence is capable Of weighing th
mountains as in scales, and the stal
as in a balance. 1t takes its measul
ing line and goes out among the star
1t locates their orbits. 1t measure
their wide sweep in the heavens, an
explores many hidden mysteries c
this great universe in which we dwell
Now 1 do not say that the Boy hs
this capacity. He has the possibiHt!
and if he does not attain unto all tn
and much more, he is deprived of h
just rights as boy, and demand ths
his rights be given unto him.
God made him, an immortal soul, t
rule over his entire organism: HI
possibilities are beyond the knowledg
of human ken. Winehell says tt
= machinery Of tie heavens IS runnin
down; the motion Of the spheres
being retarded; all are drawing towa1
the ultimate center; that the time
coming when all the world of matte
from the four quarters Of the univers
shall have gravitated together, an
the suns shall all be extinguishe
forever, and eternal winter will set il
and never ending night shall reign 81
