Home Again" is & characteristic stor
by George Macdonald. That is to say il is
quite innocent Of plot, scant OF adventure,
smooth and even in style, and altogether
to be recommended to those who are in
need of q literary sedstiVe. The story is
of a countrybred youth, who bethought
that he was poet, and went down to
London to sing his song to the world. Bat
the world refused to listen; indeed the ed.
itors refused to give 1t a chance to listen;
az q our ere, after many struggles aud much
tribulaiion, turned critic and did super.
fetal and unjust criticism after
the manner of his kind. In
due time he renowned this svoca-
tiop, went back to the country,
turned farmer sgain and proved himself
a philosopher by abandoning cheerfuIly
the hope OF a literary career, because he
had learned that he had no message to de-
liver to the world. There is a lesson in
the story which the grand army OF poet
Rsters. who are the bans of the editors
life, would do we'll to heed. Here il is as
our hero works it up while merrily fol-
lowing his ploW;
How shall he sing who hath no song,
he laugh who hath no mtrth2
VIII strongest cannot wake a song.
Ii Is no use to strive or long
To sing with them that have song
And mfrthless laugh with mirthl
AH
And for the right face any thrODg,
Waiting, with patience sweet and strong,
Until God glory fills the earth;
Then shall he sing who bad no song,
he laugh who had no mlrth.

wild Child of the Woods.
.bbeville Meridlonal.


The country papers are full Of re-
ports concerning a wild girl ranging
in the parish of Catahoula. She Is
said to have been seen by different
parties, at different times, but always
eludes any attempt at pursuit or cap
ture. In putting before our readers
one Of the most singular incidents Of
a PERSONS life that has yet been re.
lated, and to throw some light on this
mysterious subject that Is now agitat-
ing the minds Of many, it may be we'll
to give to the public an insight of the
cause Of this woder and its attending
circumstances.
In the year 1873 a Mr.. Mcdonald,
a resident of Calcasieu parish, for
some reason unknown to any one, left
this State for the purpose Of establish
ing himself 10 Texas. His trip be-
tween that parish and the sought.foF
State must have been fatal, indeed, for
from the time he left until the present
day, not a word has been heard, mel
ther from or of him. 1t is generally
believed that he was drowned in a
marsh adjoining that parish, The
only companion he was known to
have was little girl of about seven
years of age. AS nothing was heard
of the whereabouts of the latter, it
was the general Impression that the
young and innocent child had also
found premature grave ! but to the
astonishment of that community, it
was reported, at that epoch, that a
wild white child, in a nude condition,
had been seen in the neighbOrhOod of
DR.. Minis residence. The child, IL
would seem, was ignorant of the ex.
istenGe of any being of its kind, and
had partaken of the wild nature that
surrounded her for, on the appear
ance of the person who saw her, she
ran in the opposite direction, pursued
by his dogs, which he called off, when
she disappeared, and has never been
heard of since IN that section. Fre-
quently since that time the woods in
that section have been searched by ex-
perienced swampers; the most secret
recesses were hunted, but all efforts
have proven of no avail whatever.
1t is most likely, and reasonable to
suppose, that the wild glrl of the
woods now reported in CatahouIa par
ish is the identical one that was seen
in CaIcasieu some years ago. There
is nothing unnatural for her to have
strayed off so far from home when
having been pursued by dogs, Tho
cry of humanity and charity call on
everyone to assist in the capture of
this girl, in which event we may pos
sibly learn the history of her wild life
and the mysterious disappearance Of
VIM. Mcdonald.

very governor of Missouri who
bounded his father to death, and re.

"Write letter." said Crittenden,
Jesse complied, and proved to write

Ex-Governor kindly.

1t is easy enough to spoil a child,
No great art is demanded. Only three
or four things are requisite TO com.
pIete the work. Make all the nurses
wait on him and fly at his bidding.
Let him learn never to 60 for drink,
but always have it brought to him.
At ten years of age have Bridget tic
his shoe-stFings, Let him strike auntie
because she will not get HIM sugar
plum. He will soon learn that the
house is bis realm, and he is to rule it.
He will come up into manhood one of
those precious spirits that demand
obesiance and service, and with the
theory that all the world is his oyster,
which with knife he will proceed to
open. If that does not spoil him, buy
him a horse. We congratulate any
man who can afford to own q horse /;
but If boy own one, he will probably
ride on 1t to destruction. He will stop
at the taverns for drinks. He will bet
at the races, There will be room
enough in the same saddle for idleness
and dissipation to ride, one of them
before and one of them behind. But
If the child be insensible to all such
efforts to spoil him, Try the plan Of
never saying anything encouraging
to him. Ifhe do wrong, thrash him
soundIy; but if he do we'll, keep on
reading the newspaper, pretending not
to see him. But il you have child
inyulDerable to all other influences,
and be cannot be spoiled by any
means already recommended, give
him a plenty Of money, without any
questions as to what be does with It,

uzrs. IzarrusOn's EtttIe Joke.

Mrs. Harrison, the future mistress
Of the White House, has a fund of
spirits which some tlmes find express
sion in practical jokes. For instance,
there is 6 DR., Newcomer, a great
friend of the Harrison family, who is
practitioner of the old school and a
deadly enemy of all quacks aud all
who advertise in any way, The doe
tor is the owner of a white dog which
he regards as the apple of his eye,
and which, like Mary'a little lamb,
follows him about wherever he may
90, The two are inseparable, One
day Mrs. Harrison and a lady friend,
not having the peace aud dignity of
the doctor before their eyes, deeoysd
this dog off into a secluded place, and
there aud then painted upon each
Of his sides in indeIibIe aniline cOlors
the legand, "Try Newcomers Pills"
and the dog trotted off to his master
with his most unprofessiOnal aud un-
ethical recommendation where he
who runs might read. Nor was his
decoration discovered by his owner
until after it had been displayed along
the whole of the doctors route. The
doctor had to have his canine friend
shaved to get rid of the request, and
there was a tension between the New
corners and Harrisons tor some time,
