IoHNNY,s CONQUEST.

Johnny was all alone in the house,
rocking baby Lulu to sleep, and the big
tears were rolling, one by one, over his
red cheeks and down his straight little
nose, with alarming pertinacity. He
wasn't crying no, not for the world
would he acknowledge that he was cry
ing. But what was the matter? Johnny
was the "best boy in the world" SO his
mamma said, and I'm sure she ought to
know if anybody should; and ever since
God took his papa home to heaven, mann.
ma would leave little Lulu in Johnny's
care while she went out to fit ladies'
dresses for them; and then when she
came home, he always had such bright,
CHEEKY fire in the winter time; and in
the summer would run and draw a clear,
cold glass OF water when she came in
tired and warm. Mamma was gone now,
and Johnny had been rocking baby a
long, long time, it seemed to his tired
little arms. But that wasn't the cause
Of the trouble-oh. no! He didn't mind
that one bit. Let us follow Johnny'e
gaze. Away down at the end of the

receive chastisement or rebuke, or even
when he is only conscious of deserving
them, his action is inimitably comic. He
lays himself fat along the ground, his
nose pressed against his forepaws, and in
some inexplicable way he wriggles him
self along at a great rate, and with a
snivelled-up nose, crouches at ones feet,
almost disarming anger by his int nse
reimbursement. Many sin that would
never else have been discovered has he
betrayed by his puckered nose and grow
cling gait; many hole in his puppy days
has he dug and then discovered to US by
his own self-consciousness. He was very
troublesome when he first came by his
hole-digging, and being dog of much
persistence and determination, he was
able in large garden to crafty his PEN
chant undiscovered in way that was
most tiresome. He was cured, however,
once and for all in a very summary man
ner.
Five times in one day had he been
whipped and shut up for digging again
and again the same hole in the bank by
the drive, and each time, on release had
he gone back and excavated it again. On
releasing him after his fifth captivity, he
went straight off to his hole and re COM
menced his labors with renewed zeal and
activity. I let him dig in unconscious
bliss for awhile, until he had made
nice roomy grave, and then, stealing up
behind him whilst he was all claws and
nose in the ground, l sprang upon him
unawares, held him firmly in position,
and buried him tight in his own hole.
He was not long in backing and scram-
bling out, and emerged meek and dis
reputable-looking object; but he never
dug another hole. That trick was en-
tirely cured from that day forward, partly,
I think, because he got good scare, and
partly because he was quite conscious OF
the ridiculous appearance he presented,
and of which our shouts of laughter
made him all the more aware. For Smith,
like most dogs, cannot bear being laughed
at, and will deny himself good deal Of
pleasure rather than submit to ridicule.

that line each side of the streetwe gee
what? A great awkward form, that looks
ike-can it be?--an elephant And then,
we are sure those are camels, we can see
their humps; and that group (the people
crowd so we can't half see)-that must
be the dear little ponies! and oh, the
monkeys!
Johnny's mamma had said that he
might go and see the procession that
morning--for it was show that had come
to the village; but she thought she would
have time to go and alter Miss Meri-
weather's basque before the procession
would start. So here Johnny sat, rock
ing the baby, instead Of making one of
that merry crowd of boys and girls watch
ing the procession down at the end of the
street. Now, don't give our little boy
too much credit. His first impulse when
he heard the music, was to put the baby
in the crib, -hyl Really, he did get
her in the crib, when he remembered.
Then he cried aloud: Mamma, o man.
NAL" in real agony. But Miss Meri-
weather's house was quite five blocks
away, and mamma couldn't have walked
home fast enough for him still to go,
even if she had heard that poor little
cry. And, with that distracting music
sounding in his ears, and the dim shapes
of those wondrous creatures from another
world just visible, what wonder that the
tears rolled down his fresh little face,
wink bravely as he might to keep them
back
l said that Johnny remembered; and
just in time, too. Indeed, if it had not
been for his remembering, doubt il be
would have stood so bravely at his post.
But first I must tell you little secret;
and as all this happened so long ago,
don't think Johnny will care. The very
top pinnacle of Johnny's ambition and
happiness was to be a soldier. His dear
papa knew about this desire of his heart,
and not long before he died he talked
with Johnny about it, and said: Son,
remember, soldier must never finch,
but stand like a rock at his post" These
words had taken deep hold on Johnny's
young mind, and SO it was he remem-
bered; but oh, it was 80 hard! He was a
soldier; he was at his post, and stand he
must, like rock. And SO he did, brave
little herol The gay parade AMI the be-
witching music are gone now, and mann
ma comes in, all flushed with walking so
rapidly. She takes in all at glance; the
brave little face that would not cry, the
sleeping baby. She quietly takes baby
and puts her in the crib; then { wise
mother) she lifts her soldier in her arms,
and in his mothers lap he no longer tries
to checks his tears, but close to that low
ing heart sobs it all out.
Look up, little captain! Dry your tears
put on your brightest smile; for you
have played nobler part than il you had
marched at the head OF regiment and
captured city!-Sundag School Times.

SPARROWS VS.. BOYS.

The Fall River Globe relates that
crowd of boys attempted TO amuse them
selves recently by throwing green apples
at the nests of some English sparrows,
but got into very lively fight with these
pugnaciols little creatures. The trees
were filed with hundreds of birds, which
stood the fun until it became monoto.
nous, and then organized and made
dash upon their tormentors. They flew
straight for the face, and it began to look
serious for the urchins. Some of the lat
ter ran to safe distance and looked on,
but the more adventurous waged the bat
tie. The boys were pecked at until their
faces and hands were covered with blood,
and they were obliged to defend them
selves with clubs in order to save their
eyes. They tired before the sparro VS.,
however, and at last were obliged to beat
a retreat.

A MARMOSET.

While | write small marmoset mon
key = length about six inches : disports
himself freely in sumsch tree near to a
sunny wall in our garden, amusing him
self with catching newly fedged moths,
small spiders, or any other specimens of
the insect tribe that may come in his
way. This season these are curiously
few and far between, and he will, fdute
de mieuT, even eat earwigs, or, as Lord
Tennyson's North country "Spinster !"
calls them battle twigs." Query, which
is the more correct term of the two, or
the least incorrect?
Seeing that Marmie finds nothing
more of an edible kind, | offer him a
fresh gathered pea pod, and he eagerly
gnaws the end, inserts tiny hand, and
helps himself to one pea after another,
devouting it with great avidity, all but the
skin, which he wisely rejects as tough
and indigestible These little monkeys
are very nice in their food as particular
as any epicure in their choice of kind and
condition. Everything they take must
be of the freshest and best. Only the
ripest and sweetest fruits, only the cream
off the milk, only the purest water, only
live insects, will suit Marmie. His in
finite delight in being in the open air is
quite beyond description. He will climb
up or down stairs to get at me, in the
hope of inducing me to take him into the
garden. II shut up in his cage, he will
cry like child, with the same object in
view; and to drive out in carriage is as
great pleasure to him as to any child.
He will look from the window all the
time, and the little head works this way
and that, the bright eyes taking in all the
surroundings. anything that attracts his
special notice "a red parasol, a white
horse, bright colored van, child with
a skipping rope-is greeted with viva
cious Chip, chip!" and an upward look
for sympathy at each passing excitement.
There is, perhaps, no other garden in
England around the paths of which a
little marmoset has daily gamboled dur
ing the late warm summer weather, find
ing its meals al fresco, in the shape OF
small snails and slugs, spiders, cater
pillars and beetles. He is very fond OF
the woodlouse, too cheeselog," an old
servant calls them), which is fortunate
since it may be found in the absence OF
| all else.
One is usually taught to suppose that
these little delicate pets must be fed on
bread and milk (Which they appear to
hate, or at least only take when driven to
it by sheer hunger), and kept in close
confinement in warm room, or green.
house at most. But certainly whore it is
possible to let them enjoy the fresh, open
air in warm weather, with a natural diet
of insects, it apparently suits them, and
gives them sense of enjoyment of life
which is the nearest approach to theiI
happy existence in their native wild
beautiful woods of Brazil that we car
give them.-Ihe London Spectator.

And granted what he asked.

That he had lost before.
His schoolmates all around him pressed,
And work and play went on,
But still he felt his youthful zsst
For toll or sport was gone.
The lessons that were easy once
Were now more hardly done,
He felt himself the very Ounce;
That he had called his son!
The blunders that he made of old
He now avoids at will;
But others. graver, deadlier, hold
Their ties about him still.
The lads around look on and quiz

They think that all his caution is
The wisdom OF fool!
Things are not always what they SEEM
And when the man awoke
From what was but a fevered dream
In altered tones he spoke:

But boyhood's days for boys are good.
