Juvenile Dignity.

A little Beacon-st. boy was walking with
his mother through the public garden
one forenoon last week. He was greatly
interested in the swan boats in which the
children ride upon the pond, and watched
them for a long time, but did not ask his
mother if he might ride, too. On return
ing home his mother asked him if he
didn't want boat ride when he was in
the garden.
"Of course 1 did" was the reply: ''but
i didn't think it necessary to say So"
He was given a ride that very after
noon.

eepts Her New Name.

NNE warm spring day, says Our Little
Men and Women, small boat could
~ have been seen on the Mississippi
river. No other boat was in sight.
In the boat were two negro men, Wash
and Uncle Jake. They were after the
driftwood which the strong current brings
down; and Uncle Jake had long, stout
pole, with hook in one end. With this
he could reach out and pull in the sticks
and logs of drift. They had only found
few small pieces when they saw something
floating away up the stream that looked
like big log. Wash saw it first and said
he ought to have it because he saw it first.
But Uncle Jake said he ought to have it,
because the boat belonged to him. And
so they quarrelled about it; and, while
they quarrelled, the boat foated nearer
and nearer. And what do you think was
on il? Why, real live lion A big lion
with a bushy name, and he stretched out
his paws, caught hold OF the side OF the
boat and elung to it! Uncle Jake and
Wash were so frightened at this that they
did not even try to push him off; and he
slowly raised himself out of the water,
and, with great effort crawled into the
boat and lay down, quite tired out. The
men were so scared they dared not move,
and they did not say a word more about
which should have their ''fnd." In fact,
they were so frightened they could not
speak. Suddenly the lion looked at Uncle
Jake, and opened his mouth wide; it was
filed with great white teeth. Uncle Jake
had heard about lions; and he thought
the beast was going to give roar, and
then spring upon him and eat him up.
And he threw up his arms and began 10
howl He would have jumped into the
river, only he could not swim. But the
lion was only yawning, and after
he got through he fell sound
asleep in the bottom of the boat.
Then Wash took courage. and taxing up
his oars rowed with all his might toward
the land. And as soon as the boat reached
the bank, they jumped out and ran as fast
as their feet could carry them. A police
man who was near by took the sleeping
lion in charge. He was chained and fed
and kept at Carrolltown, few miles above
New Orleans, till he was claimed by his
owners. Many people went to see him,
and among them were Uncle Jake and
Wash who Dragged a good deal about
their catching him. He belonged to
travelling circus which had gone up the
river three days before in a steamboat.
The steamboat had caught fire and burned,
and the lion escaped. He must have been
very tired and glad to get into the boat;
and that is the reason, probably, why he
did not eat up Uncle Jake and Wash. e.
