FOR DUB YOUNG FOLKS.
A BOYS JUDGMENT.

it's strange as people grow older what lots of
sense they lose, .ss
Ard how they get full of notions, and begin
to pick and choose,
And start on such strange ideas, and want
such queer things done
Why, what is a fellow to live for, If he never
can have any fun!
Now there are fathers and mothers, as good
as good can be,
But they fret if a boy goes coasting, for fear
he'll run into tree;
They fret if boy goes skating, for fear he'll
get fall;
And they're sure that he'll come home
broken, if he asks to play base ball.
And as for stealing ride as the big teams roll
along,
And as for swim in the river, if the current
be swift or strong,
Or climbing roof on a ladder, or shining a
good high pole
Why, they look at boy if he tries it as if he
had got no soul!
They want you to enter the parlor and bow
Ike grown-up man;
They want you to move without racket-just
show me the fellow who-canl
To come down stairs on tiptoes just creeping
as still as mouse,
And to keep things quiet and chilly as if boys
never lived in the housed
When you open your eyes in the morning and
are lying awake in bed,
1ney ratner you wouldn't take pillows to
shy at another ones head;
They'd like you to talk in whispers and never
to rant or shout,
And empty your jacket pockets so they never
would look bulged out.
Them in spite of all this nonsense, they'll look
in q fellows eyes
As If you were the ones who were foolish. and
they were the ones who were wise;
You'd think as people grow older, they ought
to grow wiser, too,
But wouldn't make such plumbers in talking
to boyS-would you?

A Ritter from Reykjavi3 lcelaad, to the New
! York Sun, writes Of the elder down harvest as
follows:
The men who get the down leave home early
in the morning, and visit the places to which the
elder duck resorts, and each man hunts for the
nests. The nests are built in clefts of the rock,
sometimes near the sea and slippery from the
spray, and sometimes very high up, where
false step would be death to the unfortunate
man falling down on the jagged rocks below.
The down is plucked from the breast of the
duck by the bird itself and is used to line the
nests for the comfort of the young ones. The
hunter robs the bird of all the lining it hes pro-
vided for the nest, putting it in bag that he
carries along for the purpose, and then goes on
and repeats the performance at some other nest.
Everything must b. done very quietly, for
loud noise frightens the birds, and if frightened
away once, they will not build there again
There is law enforced that forbids the dis
charge OF firearms within hearing of the breed
ing places, and a stranger would probably be
mobbed if he disobeyed it.
Two crops of down are gathered. The first
crop is the BEST for the duck uses an abundance.
of her choicest down in the lining of her first
nest. A short time after the first is gathered
the hunters go over the same ground again and
rob the nests of the second lining, which con-
slsts of all the down the poor bird could rob
herself of for her young. This proceeding
seems to call out the last energies of the birds,
for they then make 8 new nest and the drake
lines it with his breast feathers. In this nest
the young are Matched. The hunters seldom
disturb it, for the probabilities are that the pair
would 90 away and never return.
After the down has been gathered, it is taken
into large room in the farmers house, and
each nest, for the lining retains the shape OF
nest, is placed on top.of primitive arrangement
that looks like harp laid fiat, with strings OF
leather laid across it. The nest is then rubbed
over the strings, and the lichen, moss, sticks,
and other parts of the framework of the nest
that are mixed with the down fall through to
floor while the Gown remains In the operators
hand. The down is then packed and brought
to market, and from here shipped to all parts OF
the world. The color OF the down is a surprise
to many, for instead OF its being white, as some
imagine, it is blue slate color, glossy and very
pretty. An immense amount OF 1t can be
crushed into handful, but il will resume its
natural form when released.
The down taken from dead birds is not as
good as that from the nests. Ii is not so light or
So much like floss silk to the touch. Iceland fur
nishes about 1000 pounds OF the down every
year that is of superior quality.

Mr. Douglas and the War for the Union
TFrom the New York Tribune,1

| Edward Larned of Greenfield Mass, at one
time president of the Ohio and Mississippi rail
| road, gives a new version of the famous Doug
| las incident Of April, 1861. He was called to
Washington by telegram from Douglas, sent
| Immediately after the latter had beard of the
| firing on Fort Sumpter. Douglas was sick
| with diphtheria. His physician, his wife, and
Catholic priest were there. AS the doctor
went away he said to Douglas snow no talking
OF excitement, Senator" But he was no soon
er gone than Douglas arose, dressed himself
and began reading to Larned, who had just ar
rived, a long and carefully written letter. He
was discussing its points when telegraph
message was brought in. He read the message
and Immediately began to use emphatic Ian
guage in denunciation of the telegraphic sys-
TEN, and the liberties it permitted to be taken
with public men. Then he read the message
aloud:
"Do you approve and sustain Lineoln's war
policy Missouri will not"
81 said," recounts Mr. Larned, "that l would
not answer such despatch, and ne rrejoined;
"This is the penalty for being public man.
1t is from the editor of the leading paper in st
Louis. l cannot refuse an answer"
ale wrote reply, which he read to me. l
will not attempt to repeat it. 1t was politi-
clans dispatch.
al wouldn't send it, Senator 1 said. "The
entire Democratic party Of the country is wait
constituents in Illinois are resting secure in
your ability to meet the emergency of the hour.
But il you send that dispatch the hesrt OF every
friend you have in the North will sink. 1t
seems to me impossible that man born nj
Vermont should vacillate or be unsound on
this great question:.
Said he 81 am as sound as any man in this
country"
"And replied, eyes Senator; but unfortunately
your dispatch is not" He protested again,
and, taking up the paper, read his dispatch
with punctuation and emphasis that were suf-
ficent 10 give it the true ring. But told him
plainly that the telegraph wires would not
punctuate, or transmit the tones of his voice;
but the words he had written might be twisted
in good many ways. l took his dispatch ana
read it with my own emphasis. putting con-
trary construction on it.
'le said THAT does sound id equivocal
as you read it,
"He tore it up and wrote another, which ne
read aloud. ] burst out laughing, and, when he
turned on me inquiringly, explained that was
laughing at his ability to write second de-
spatch that was worse than the first. Then he
said, somewhat petuantly; 'Well, l am i'll my
head is perhaps not clean Sit down here and
write out what you would send.' l sat down
and wrote these words:
"sI deprecate war. But il it must come, /
am with my country and for my country andef
ali circumstances aud in every contingency.
Individual policy must be subordinate to pup
lie safety .
"He read it carefully, signed his name to u
and sent it away.
"That is the true history of Douglas famous
