Compositions of the Little Folks.

A Maiden school-mislress thinks that some
of her pupils compositions are funnier than
anything of Mark Twain's From an essay
on Fashion" written by a boy Of -, she
cites the following:
Sensible people wear sensible fashions,
and insensibe people insensble fashions"
Another hopeful of hers, writing on the
subject "a Rainy Afternoon" evolved from
an inner consciousness deeper than that of
Josh Billings the following sentence:
at rained hard, and | could not go out

some wood"
In little straw frame on her mantel is a
sentence from the pen of her youngest and
brightest, given in answer to the request
Write, in twenty words, a definition of
Man." 1t read thus:
MAN is an animal that stands up; he is
not very big, and he has TO work for lv,

EVERY DAY WORK

Great deeds are trumpotcd loud bells arc
rung,
And men turn round to see
The high peaks echo to the peans sung
Der some great victory.
And yet great deeds are few. The mightcst
men
Find opportunities but now and then.
Shall one sit idle through long days of peace,
Waiting for walls to scale?
Or lie in port until some Golden Fleece
Lures him to face the gale?
There's work enough why idly, then delay?
His work counts most who labOrS every day.
A torrent sweeps adown the mountains brow,
With foam and flash and roar.
Anon its strength is spent, where Is il now!
Its one short day is DER.
But the clear stream that through the mca
dow flows
All the long summer on its mission goes.
Better the steady flow the torrents dash
Soon leaves its rent track dry.
The light we love is not a lightning flash
From out a midnight sky,
But the sweet sunshine whose unfailing ray
From its calm throne of blue, lights every
day.
The sweetest lives are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds both great and small,
Are close-knit strands of one unbrokcn thread,
Where loves cnnobles all,
The world may sound no trumpcts ring no
bells,
The Book of Life the shining record tells.

Wearing Masks for the Complexion

New York Correspondence.
A thousand women sleep masked every
night in this city. That is an estimate, but
it is based on facts that make it entirely
trustworthy. In one street given over to re-
tail trade in women's decoration from the
harmless necessary calico to the vain super
tluous satin, from essential coverings of feet
with shoes to OVERLAPPING of faces with cos
metics, there hangs sign-board which tells
that masks are sold upstairs. On entering
found that traffic was actually going on
The article of humbug was plable mask
seemingly of cloth impregnated with an oily
unguent, and meant to be worn on the face
during bed times, with the expectation that
it would improve the complexion The false
| vsage was in great variety of features and
| sizes, so that any woman could get snug
| fit, the idea being that the skin of the entire
face should come into close contact with the
supposed medcament.
The probability Is that such a sweating of
the skin really produces softness and smooth
ness, though exposure might easily chap the
tender surface, and thereby spoil the gain. |
learned to certainty that about 1000 masks
had been sold within week, and it is fair to
believe that, with so many distributed, at
least 900 women are nightly using them.

A stout woman for the kitchen was also
found necessary, and Jason did not fail TO
notice that his household expenses were null

The doctor told him plainly that his wife
had worn herself out, and that nothing but
the most careful nursing could save her life.
Jason Master had plenty of time to think as
his wife lay raving during the hot summer
days and nights. The grenadine dress and
almost fatal dollar were the burden of her

tor years, and he resolved that nothing should
be too good for her, if she recovered.
And he kept his wore. Mrs. Master is no
longer a drudge; a strong girl does the
kitchen work, and Mr.. and Mrs. Master are
often seen riding about the country on sum
mer evenings.
She is not obliged to asked for money now;
the dairy money is all her own, and she
spends enough on dress to make herself at

The boys appreciate their mother as they
never did before, and to-day there is no hap

Value of Diligence.

We find in Scripture that most of the great
appearances which were made to eminent
saints were made when they were busy.
Moses kept his fathers flock when he saw
the burning bush; Joshua is going round
about the city of Jericho when he meets the
angel of the Lord; Jacob is in prayer, and
the angel of God appears to him. Gideon is
thrashiug and Elisha is blowing, when the
Lord calls them; Matthew is at the receipt
of custom, when he is hidden to follow Jesus
and James and John are fishing, The Al
mighty Lover of the souls of men is not wont
to manifest Himself to idle persons He who
is sothful and inactive can not expect to
have the sweet company of his Saviour

One of the stories in which this peculiar
Christian name figures is an incident that
happened when Preserved Fish, just 81 years
old, had been made captain of a New Bedford
whaling vessel A revenue cutter bore down
upon him and demanded the name of the
brig
"The Flying Fish" shouted back the young
commander
whats the cargoY was the next qucs-
ton.
"Pickled Fish," was answered
"And who's captain?"
preserved Fish !"
That government officer couldn't stand
this. He didn't propose to be fooled with and
made fun of by anybody in this way, and on
board he climbed with his leutenants, only
TO find that the truth and nothing but the
truth had been told him.

MurillO and One of His Masterpieces

Murillo's earliest pictures represented

About 1640 Castillo removed to Cadiz, and

Spurned His Custom.

A saloon keeper across the Hudson, who
had become tired of business, and who was
hardly making living at it withal, found a
customer who was willing to buy him out
but who wanted to watch the run ofcustom
little before closing the bargain. In this
emergency the saloonist went to an old
topper and explained matters and left $50 with
him.
Take this money and bring in the boys
and pay for what you get" were his orders,
and the old topper assented
The next day he brought in five old soakers
and treated them, but as he did not show up
tor the two following days the saloon man
hunted him out to ask the reason and to re-
proach HIM in the most vigorous manner.
Look a.here, JIM" replied the old drunk
ard as the other stopped for breath, cts all
your own fault"
"HOw?"
"Well, wien steer six of us into place,
and lay down sixty cents for whskey, the
harkeeper allus hands me five cent segar.

it as hint that you didn't keer for my GUS
