As dear to me as that grave tone,
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps on the door

Forgot my theme, and pistened-then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sigh no sound moments freak
OF fancy thrilled my pulses through;
'lfnor-and yet that fancy drew
A fathers blood from heart to cheek.
And then found him-there be lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught IN .he act,
The rosy vandal who had sacked
His little town, and thought it play.

A match still smouldering ON the floor I;

The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves OF albums lightly pressed
This wicked baby Of the woods;
In tact of half the household goods
THIS son and heir was seized-pcssesscd.
Yet oil IN vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that
strayed
Aud fallen in that ambuscade;
The victor was himself o'erwrought.
Whit though torn leaves and tatteret

Still testified the deep disgracel

With its demure and calm outlook.

Pleasant Surprise.

Exchange.
Young Inan ofeighteen or twenty,
student in a university, took "a
walk one day With u professor,
who was commonly called the stu
dents friend, such Was his kindness
to the young men whom it was his
Office to instruct. While they
were nov walking together, aud
the professor was seeking to lead
the conversation TO grave subjects,
they saw a coat and a pair of old
shoes lying in the path, which
they supposed belonged to q poor
man who was at work.
The young student turned to the
professor, saying:
"Let's play the man trick; We
will hide his shoes and conceal our
selves behind the bushes and watch
to see his perplexity when he can
not find them.f
| amy dear friend,' answered the
Professor, "we must never amuse
ourselves at the expense of the
poor. But you are rich, and you
may give yourself much greater
pleasure by means Of this poor
man. Put u dollar in each shoe.
and then we will hide ourselves
The student did So, and then
placed himself with the professor
behind the bushes hard by, through
which they could easily watch the
laborcr and see whatever wondeI
OF JOY he might express.
The poor man soon finished his
work and came across the field tC
the path, where he had left his coat
and shoes. While he put on tht
coat he slipped one foot into one
of his shoes, but feeling something
hard be stopped down aud found
the dollar. Astonishment and won

An Electric Watch.

a Jewish young man, 10 years
old, named Solomon Schisgal, has
invented watch which goes by
electricity, and with scarcely any
movement; it is therefore simple
in construction and easy to handle;
it is cheap, and above all, keeps
correct time. Herr ChwoIson, pro-
fessor of physics at the University
OF ST. Petersburg, hes written an
article on the subject in the
Noirosti, in which he says: ain
its remarkable simplicity, this in
vention eau only be compared with
the JablochkOff system of electric
lightning. The watches are without
any springs, and consist solely Of
two wheels. Besides being true,
they have the advantage Of the
second hand moving in single
momentary leaps, as Is usually the
case only m very costly watches.
and which is 0f tie utmost utility
for astronomical observations.
These watches can also set in mo-
tion certain number of watches of
the same construction, so that they
all keep exact time. The invention
has convinced me that watches can
he used for the purpose of tele.
graphy,n After naming several
other advantages, Professor Chwol-
son describes the invention as u
wonder, which will cause an entire
revolution in the manufacture of
watches. Herr Schisgal is the
sou OF a jewish matchmaker in
Berditscbew, Russia.
