ROBERT OF LINCOLN"

Leaning idly over a fence, few days
since, we noticed little four-year-old
"lord of creation" amusing himself in the
grass by watching the frolicksone fight
of birds which were playing around him.
At length a beautiful bobolink perched
on bough of an apple tree, which ex-
tended wirhin few yards of the place
where the urchin sat, and maintained his
position, apparently unconscious of his
close proximity to one whom birds nus
ally consider dangerous neighbor.
The boy seemed astonished at his i'm
pudence; and, after regarding him stead
lily for minute or two, obeying the in
stinct of his baser part, he picked up a
stonelying at his feet, and was preparing
to throw it, steadying himself for a good
aim. The little arm was thrown back
ward without alarming the bird, and Bob
was within an ace of danger, when lol his
throat swelled, and forth came natures
plea: "A-link, a-link, a-link, ob.a-link,
bob-a-link, bob-a.link, a. no-weetl know
it, know it, a-link, a-link, don't throw
it, throw it, throw it." etc. And he didn't.
Slowly the little arm fell to it's natural
position, and the now despised stone
dropped. The minstrel charmed the
murderer. We heard the songeter
through, and watched his unframed
FIGHT as did the hoy with a sorrowfuI
countenance. Anxious to hear an ex-
preston of the little fellows feeling, we
approached him and inquired: "Why
didn't you stone him, my boy? You
might have killed him and carried him
home"
The poor little fellow looked up doubt
ingly, as though he suspected our mean
ing; and, with an expression half shame
and half sorrow, he replied, "Couldn't,
cos he sung sor' School Journal.

SLANG ONCE MORE.

Should we. not check our little ones
when they make use of slang expressions
instead of smiling upon them as if it was
clevers We should teach them that such
conversation is demoralizing; that it will
actually do them harm; that as they adj
vance in years, they may dislike and de-
spise it. Mothers, are there not some
among you who advise your daughters,
as they depart from your side to attend
some social gathering, "to make mash,"
or who, upon their return inquire, did
you make mash?" What can a mother
be thinking of when she makes such an
inquiry? I beg of such one (for there
are those who do this) to pause to con-
slider what she encourages. You can
not reasonably expect your daughter
to become a pure-minded woman if you
fail to be an example of such. The COM
mon slang is enormously thought witty.
True wit may be appreciated among SEN
sible people, but slang, never 1 would
challenge any one TO discover anything
ennobling, anything womanly, any thing
even witty about the use of what is nova
days termed genteel slang; for there are
those who despise the coarse expressions
which SO often fall from the lips of the
