Rhymes of the Fairgrounds.


Nursery rhymes have received much at.
lention of late as an expression of national
life, and many collections of them have been
made The quaint rhymes of the play
grounds, some of which are very old, have
received less attention. II. Darlington Boil.
ton, of Trinity College, contributes to the
Boston journal Of Educati0n the following
specimens of counting out" rhymes, collect
ed by him from children and by corresponds
ence. A favorite jingle is
emery, DRY, ickery Ann,
Ellison, follison, Nicholas, John
Queevy quavy, English navy,
Stingelum, stangelum, buck"
This rhyme is widely used, having been re.
ported to me from Connecticut, Philadelphia
and Cincinnati. 1t is subject to many varia
tions: English navy" becomes "Irish Mary,
some insert the word berry" or the word
John" before "buck" in the last line lick.
cry is hickory" etc New York City:
"Ana, mana. mona, Mike,
Barcelona, bona. strike;
Care, ware. frow, Track,
Hallco, ballico, we, wo, wack.
This also is subject to countless variations
Barcelona" becomes "tuscalona," etc. One
form ends in-Central New York
Muddy, guddy. boo, out goes you"
ANA, mana, dippery Dick.
Della, Dolla, Domnick
Hitcha, pitcha, dominitcha,
Hon, pom, tush.
In some districts the third line is given as
"Houtcha, poutcha, dominoutcha," and in
others "Hotcha potcha," etc. "Tush" may
also become "tus" or "tusk." Delaware,
Rhode Island, ETC.:
Haley, maley. tppety, fig,
liney fancy, tombo mig;
Goat, throat, country note,
Tiney, toney, mig.
"One two three. Nanny caught flea;
The flea died, and Nanny cried; out goes she.'
Scotland:
"Eatum. peatum, penny pie,
Babyoni, stickum, stye."
Besides rhymes of the character of the
above, i. G., consisting of gibberish, with
disconnected words,-there are very many
rhymes containing no uncouth words, but
possessing, in general, a jingle easily recog-
niZabe
zone, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Mary at the cottage gate, eating grapes Off plate.
This is given also "plums" in place OF
"grapes," and garden gate" for cottage
gate" When cottage door" ends the
second line, the counting stops at -four" to
satisfy the rhyme,
The collection is quite Incomplete. What
Western forty-years old boy or girl does not
recognize the following?
"Intry, mintry, entry, corn,
Apple-seed and apple-thorn:
Wier, brier timber, lock- three geese In one flock,
One flew east, and one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoos nest.
One, two, three. out goes he"

The Touch of Nature,

There is one redeeming feature about such
things as earthquakes Much of the news we
read tells us the baser and more unlovely side
of human nature. We hear of crime, brutality
scandal, contest for place or power, cruelty,
neglect. There is this about a great disaster,
that it stirs the humane and sympathetic i'm.
pulse, and opens hearts and purses to the
stricken ones. Looking back over the story
of such disasters throughout our country
the great fires of Chicago, and Boston, and
Portland, the Ohio floods, the Western hur-
rcanes, the forest fires of Mchigan-it is no
small pleasure to remember how promptly
and eagerly the appeal of the sufferers was
responded to by the country, and aid sent to
them in no stinted measure. Nor have the I'M
fortunate of other lands appealed to America
in vain. Whether it is flood on the Danube,
famine in Ireland, or pestilence in Itely or
France, American hearts and purses have been
ever ready to respond to the call. 1t is not
in vain that the tenderer side of our nature is
thus touched. When our kinder feelings have
been thus stirred, closer bond is established
for all time. Hearts that have once been
warmed into sympathy do not grow utterly
cold again. The aid that has been given by
Northern people to the South has of itself
done much to soften and dispel the bitterness
left by the war, and to make us really unit
ed people. The aid that is now flowing into
Charleston-that city where the war began,
where the first blood of the Rebellion was
spilled-the city so long besieged and so per-
sistently fought over-will more than ever
draw the bitterness from memories of the
past, and waken feelings OF thankfulness over
the change in sentiment which even so short
a time as twenty years has wrought. Such
things as these do much to soften our hearts,
and rouse wishes in harmony with those well
remembered words ofthe great commander,
"Let us have peace"

Mexican Scorpions.

One of the most common pests in Mexico
writes correspondent of the Boston Tran.
Script are the acarans, or scorpions, for dur
ing certain seasons Of the year they are as
numerous as flies around sugar house.
They are within the cracks of the WALL be-
tween the bricks or tiles of the floor, hiding
inside your garments, darting everywhere
with inconceivable rapidly, their tails (the
"busness end" which holds the sting) ready
to fly up with dangerous effect upon the
slightest provocation. Turn up corner OF
the rug or tabespread, and you disturb a
tlourishing colony of them ; shake your shoes
in the morning, and out they flop; throw
your bath sponge into the water and half a
dozen of them dart out of its cool depths
into which they had wriggled for a sesta {; in
short, every article you touch must be treat
ed like dose of medicine-"to be we'll shak-
en- before taken" The average scorpion is
mahogany hued, and about two inches long
but have seen them as long as five inches.
The small, yellowish variety are considered
most dangerous, and their bite is most ap-
pretended at midday. In Durango they are
black, and 80 alarmingly MISUNDERSTANDING
been allowed TO breed for centuries in the
deserted mines-that the government offers
a reward per head Tor rather per taiD to who
ever will kill them Their sting is seldom
fatal, but it is more or less severe, according
to the state of the system. Victims have
been known TO remain for days In convul-
sions, foaming at the mouth, with stomach
sweled as in dropsy while others do not
suffer much more than from bee sting.

Governing Children.

Do not make many promises to your child
rem but when made, keep them.
Do not notice every little fault and reprove
it. How would you like it yoursolfS
Cultivate courage and self-reliance in chill
dren, so that when older they will not dread
responsibilities.
Maintain harmony of development be-
tween the body and brain, SO that neither shall
outgrow the other.
Be firm, yet gentle, when necessary, and
insist on obedience to all commands but
never ask what is unreasonable or impossible
Do not expect perfection. A child is an
undeveloped creature, beautiful as budding
rose, but it cannot do everything well, any
more than its parents can.
Children should not too frequently be
ordered to do thus and so. When necessary
they may, however. be commanded. Order
ing children about hurts their self-respect-
Commanding them, as dignitied officer does
his army, cultivates it,
Praise may and ought to be used ON all
proper occasions. The expression, "That 10
well done" is tonic to the mind Of the child
as well as to the adult Children often
starve for honest, deserved praise. Never
fail to bestow 1t. 1t is one of natures aids
The parent who never praises child. does

Give us this day our daily bread,

For but one day we dare to plead.
So greatly must we feel our need.
For one days grace we ask thee, Lord,
That we supported by Thy word
May strive against temptations power
And come off victors every hour.
For one days strength we ask, o God,
To bear the smartings of the rod;
And humbiy own that all Is best
That leads us at the last to rest.
For one days joys we bless Thy name,
In one days trials trust the same,
Through all lifes changes, come what may,
Bless and sustain us, day by day.

HeIns for HnnseMnrII.

[Allie E. Whitaker in Arthurs Magazine.l
One failing we women have is a willing
ness to worry along without proper utensils
to do our work with. We go on lifting the
heavy iron pot to boil a half-dozen potatoes
in when three-quart granite kettle or even
a cheap tin one would be so handy. We do
without the extra broom for the best car
pets, and this is piece of poor economy; we
lack a good sharp knife cutting meat, a little
one to pare vegetables with, boiler for oat-
meal, caTpet-sweeper; there Is a scantiness
of clothes-pins, NO skirt board for ironing
dresses, and so on. This lack makes the
work third moro irksome. No man would
blunder along so. But he is master of his
pocket,book, some woman says, still, we
think by giving thought to the subject she
could get the desired articles, because really
these things do not cost much. The usual
kind of hired girl will not do without the
conveniences which her employer has denied
herself, and it is better to have the conven-
lent utensils and then dispense with the help
il possible. AS unskilled as the girls for
homework are now, they often largely in
crease the nervous wear Of housekeeping.
A good carpet-sweeper is a great help, but
be sure it is a good one before you buy it; Of
course, it will not dig out all the corners or
perfectly sweep the room without the aid Of
Q broom, but by sweeping a sitting-room
about the edges and corners once q week
thoroughly with broom and finishing it of
with the cRrpet-sweeper to take up the dust,
you keep it neat the rest OF the time by q
daily use of the sweeper and without raising
dust The threads from your sewing, the
seed and feathers from the bird cage, and
the children's litter all vanish without your
having to stoop once to the floor.

A Hard World for Girls.
Inter Ocean,

Martin Luthers remark to his wife re-
specting their daughter, "This is a hard
world for girls" is not likely to be disputed.
1t is certain that the home is the true place
for girls. But not all have any homes; and
multitudes of those who have are compelled
to leave them in pursuit Of livelihood
Temptation turks on every side. To resis
temptation is of course every ones duty
Nor is there any excuse for yielding to it.
There is a good deal of mawkish sentiment
about girls being compelled to sacrifice
honor in order to keep from starving Much
of that kind of talk is false and miscellaneous
But at any rate it IS the business
of the more favored members of so
ciety, as Mr. Gladstone has said it is the dutt
of government, to "make it as hard as pos
sible to do wrong, and as easy as possible foI

THE Current.l

The National Live Stock Journal declares,
as scientific fact, that good meat must, as
a first requisite, be very fat-"excessively
fat" as the people would say. Nearly every
experienced householder has privately come
to this same opinion. The meat may be
beautifully notified, and yet be very tough;
it was old and was suddenly fattened.
Therefore. while all fat meat is not sweet
and tender, yet there is no sweet and tender
meat TO be found on the butchers block
which is not very fat, Pay little extra
for this fat; it is q good Investment A
