The Time to be Pleasant.

Suppose all the boys and girls who read
the following story should "go and do
likewise" Wouldn't it help make many
a home sunshiny place?
"Mother's cross - said Maggie, coming
into the kitchen with pout on her lips.
Her aunt was ironing, but she looked up
and answered Maggie: "Then it is the
very time for you to be pleasant and help.
the night with the poor baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on her
hat and walked off into the garden. But
a new idea went with her.
"The very time to be helpful and pleas
ant is when other people are cross. Sure
enough" thought she, THAT would be the
time it would do the most good. l remem.
Der when was sick last year l was SO
nervous that if anyone spoke to me could
hardly help being CROSS and mother never
got angry or out of patience, but was Just
as gentle with me {! ought to pay it back
now, and will"
And she sprang from the grass where she
had thrown herself and turned face full
of cheerful resolution toward the room
where her mother sat tending fretful
teething baby.
Maggie brought out the pretty ivory
halls, and began to jingle them for the lit
tie one.
He stopped fretting, and smile dim
pied the corners of his lips.
" Couldn'g take him out to ride in his
carriage, mother? It's nice morning, ="
she asked.
81 should be glad if you would p said
her mother.
The little hat and jacket were brought,
and the baby was soon ready for his ride.
"Pil keep him as long as he is GOOD, !"
said Maggie, land you must lie on the
sofa and get nap when am gone. You
are looking dreadfully tired"
The kind words and the kiss that &C.
companied them were almost too much for
the mother.
The tears rose to her eyes, and her voice
trembled as she answered. THANK you,
dearie; it will do me world of good if
you can keep him out an hour and the air
will do him good, too. My head aches
badly this morning"
What happy heart beat in Maggie's
bosom as she trundled the little peram.
bulator up and down on the walk
She had done real good. She had given
back little of the help and forbear-
ance that had so often been bestowed
upon her.
she had made her mother happier, and
given her time to rest.
She resolved to remember and act on
her aunt's good word 1.-The very time to
be helpful and pleasant is when everybody
is tired and cross.

HUMAN BEASTS OF BURDEN.-At last the
problem of our school days is solved, says
. Mexican letter, and we have discovered
how Cortez accomplished the overland
transportation of that historic fleet of ships
built on the coast and borne over the
mountains to the Lake of Mexico. Nearly
all the labor in this queer country is per-
formed by man-power, few carts or horses
being employed. We met human beasts
of burden carrying warirobes on their
heads, pianos on their backs, or huge
blocks of building stone with apparent
ease. Mexican Indians who transport
goods from the interior are so trained that
they will tire the strongest horse in equal
time and distance, carrying from 100 to
$50 pounds upon their backs. 1t ia an ac-
tusl fact that, after making long trip
thus heavily loaded, they fill their baskets
with stones on their return, their strained
and distorted muscles requiring the accns-
toned burden.

pRAx1rsLEs AND paRYNn.

4 thousand silent years ago,
The twilight faint and pale
Was drawing Ger the sunset glow
It's soft and shadowy veil
When from his work the sculptor stayed
His hand, and turned to one
Who stood beside hun half in shade,
Said with q sigh, Its done.
"Thus much is saved from chance and change,
That waits for me and thee;
Thus much-how little from the range
OF Death and Destiny.
"Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay
Nor love, nor prayers can aught avail
To bid thy beauty stay.
But there thy smile for centuries
On marble lips shall live
For Art can grant what Love denies
And fix the fugitive.
"Sad thought Nor age, nor death shall fade
The youth Of this cold bust,
When this quick brain and hand that ihader
And thou and l art dust
"Wben all our hopes and fears are dead,
And both our hearts are cold;
And Love is like tune that's played,
And Life a tale that's told,
"Tbis sengeless stone so coldly fair
That Love nor Life can warm,
The same enchanting look shall wear
The same enchanting form.
ats peace no SORROW shall destroy
Its beauty age shall spare,
The bitterness of vanished JOY,
The wearing waste OF care.
"And there upon that silent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, pere NAL grace
and sealed serenity.
''Aud strangers, when we sleep in peace,
Shall say not quite unmoved,
So smiled upon PraXteles
The PhrYHe whom he loved "

The Winter slecpers and Their Food.

There are some kinds of animals that
hide away in the winter, that are not
wholly asleep all the time. The bloed
moves little, and once in a while they
take breath. If the weather is at all
mild they wake up enough to eat.
Now, isn't it curious that they know all
this beforehand? Such animals always lay
up something to eat. just by their side,
when they go into their winter sleeping
places. But those that do not wake up
never lay up any food, for it would not be
used if they did.
The little feld-mouse lays up nuts and
grain. 1t eats some when it is partly
awake of warm day.
The bat does not need to do this; for
the same warmth that wakes him wakes all
the insects on which ne feeds. He catches
come, and then eats. When he is going TO
sleep again he hangs himself up by his hind
claws.
The woodohuck, kind of marmot, does
not wake; yet he lays up dried grass near
his hole. What is it for, do you think :?
On purpose to have it ready the first mo-
ment he wakes up in the spring. Then he
can eat and be strong before he comes out
of his hole.
How many things are sleeping in the
winter! Plants, too, as we'll as animals.
What busy time they do have in waking
up, and how little we think about it =

Sometimes mid the rush OF business
Comes pause Of worldly cares,
Caused by scenes whose touching psthos
Stir the heart deep unAwares.
For some part of Gods grand nature
Lives beneath our care and STRIFE
Once remove the worldly rubbish,
And it springs to sudden life.
Weary workmeD, homeward thronging,
Filled the cur to overflow;
Through the door an aged veteran
Came with feeble steps and slow.
Down the aisle the brisk conductor
Passed along, collecting fare.
How much 2 asked the old man, family
Brushing back his snow-white hair.
"Six For adults; three for children"
Slowly pass the trembling hands
Through his pockets, searching vain'y
For the sum his ride demands.
Just three cents for all his searching;
la his palm he spreads them out.
Cant ride for these ?" he falters,
Half in hope and half in doubt.
"Oace q man and twice child, sir;
Life for me is on the wane,
And think twill do no harm, sir,

Through each heart generous impulse
Swept away the worldly dross,
Entertaining something better
Than lifes baser gain and loss.
Some one passed the hat in silence,
Thinking of life's ebbing sands

Filled the old mans trembling hands.

PEARL FISHING AT PANAMA CANAL
The various industries along the line Of
the new American canal seem to have
slready received an impetus from its con-
struction. Among others the pearl fishery
is being pushed on with great vigor, and
with good deal of success, as many fine
specimens have lately been found. Among
some consigned to Mr.. Benson, Bond street,
is a very fine-shaped pearl, called the
"Lssseps," weighing nearly 200 grains, 1t
is about the most important that has been
in the market for many years, and takes
its place in the list of the largest known
pearls in the world. London Telegraph.

" II only were somebody,

Said the wee little maid OF Sudbury;
and she turned her applestsnd into the bay,
And htr hsrd-earned pennies she tossed away;
And she started of in wonderful glee
To see il she couldn't be somebodee.
A tall giraffe met ere long.
"ADd what will You have ?" sang she in her song.
Slylv, SAYS be, sob, nobody"
"Then you can't want me, for I'm somebody"
But you ought TO have seen that little girl run,
And you ought to have seen that funny giraffe;
But only the wild winds heard him laugh.
And she ran, and she ran, till she tumbled down.
'And what" cried she, have stumbled on?
Oh, dearie me, Its the good queens throne.
lis i'll wind blowing no one good"
And she smoothed her hair and dotted her hood,
And she donned the crown, with air serene,
And she sat on the throne, quite saucy, ween.
And when the goedly queen came in,
whats this!" she cried. q Yet jokes no sin.
Fair courtiers, here's brave ladee.
Oft weary of care and din,
Anon TO rest let me begin
Tomorrow, at court, don't bother me
She'll do, for she's certainly somebody.
