poor Crossi.
The master looked at him, looked at the stupe-
fed scholars, and said in a quiet tone, g 1t was
not you. The culprit shall not be punished" he
continued, after moments pause. "Let him
rise. y
CROSSE rose, and weeping said, "They were

provoked him rise. -
-Four of the boys rose, and hung their heads.
"You,o said the master, ''have insulted COM

have scoffed at an unfortunate lad; you have
struck weak person who could not defend him
SELF You have committed one of the basest acts
with which human creature can stain himself
Cowards!''
He went to the bench where Garrone sat, put
his hand under the boys chin, and looking him
straight in the eye, said, ssYou are noble soul'
Garrone whispered in the ear of the master, who
thereupon turned upon the four cuprits and said
abruptly, II forgive you.'- Youths Companion.

De Amics, writing of his schoolmates, says that
the one who pleased him best was the largest boy
in the class, with great head and broad shout
ders, named Garrone
One morning, before the arrival of the master,
three or four boys were tormenting Crossi, boy
with red hair and useless arm, which he carried
suspended from his neck. His mother peddled
pot-herbs; his father had gone away to America.
They were punching him with rulers, hitting
him in the face with chestnut shells, and mimick-
ing him, with his arm hanging from his neck.
Franti, a boy with repulsive face, sprang upon
bench and pretending that he was carrying bas-
ket on each arm, aped Crosss mother.
Many of the boys laughed loudly. Crossi, seiz-
ing an inkstand, hurled it at the mimic's head.
Franti lodged, and the inkstand struck the mas
ter, who entered.at the moment full in the breast.
The boys flew to their places, and became
silent The master, going to his table, said in
restrained voice. "Who did itp'

certain schoolgirl used always to be besetting
her friends with the question, elf l say like

question which could never be answered A less
difficult one is that as to the meaning which words

Three or four young japanese students were in
the habit of dining at a certain residence in Bos-

rank and great dignity, and when he was missing
from the table one day, the host asked with some
socitude the cause of his absence.
"Oh he cannot come, )" said the spokesman of
the party, shaking his head sadly; che very dis

ing, and said: "Please let us in. We would
like to look out for ourselves too" But at this
the brakes regarded them with displeasure, and
said: "You should not think of looking out for
yourselves. Go away and get each of you a hus
band" Yet, when the Ducks had dressed them
selves up as prettiy as they knew how, and rolled
their eyes as much as ever they COULD the brakes
only said: "What silly creatures these Ducks
are, to be sure! They think of nothing but get

THE LOVE OF A MOTHER.

Who that has languished, even in advanced life,
in sickness and dependency; who that has not
pined on weary bed in the neglect and loneliness
of foreign land but has thought on the mother
"that looked on his childhood" his helplessness?
Oh! there is an enduring tenderness in the love of
a mother to son that transcends all other affec-
tons of the heart. 1t is neither to be chilled by
selfshness, nor daunted by danger, nor weakened
by worthlessness, nor stihed by ingratitude. She
will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience;
she will glory in his fame, and exult in his pros
perity;- if misfortune oyertake him, he will
be the dearer to her from his misfortunes and if
disgrace settle upon his name, she will still love
and cherish him in spite of his disgrace; and if all
the world beside cast him off, she will be all the
world to him. Washington Irving.

ROCK-A-BY BABY.

Rock ably, baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the Dough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down tumble baby and cradle and all.
Rock ably, baby; the meadow IS in boom
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the room,
Echo the birds with your sweet baby tune,
Coo at the sunshine and flowers of June
Rock by, baby; as softly 1t swings,
over thy cradle the mother love sings;
Brooding cooling at even or dawn,
What will it do when the mother is gone?
Rock a-by, baby; so cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depths of your own laughing eyes,
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest,
That tenderly sings little baby to rest
Rock. ably, baby; the blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them beam;
Never again will the world seem so fair
Sleep, little baby-there are clouds in the air.
Rock ABLY baby; the blue eyes will burn
And ache with what your manhood will learn;
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and care,
With burdens the wee dimpled shoulders must bear.
Roek.a.by, baby there s coming day
Whose SORROWS mothers lips can't kiss away,
Days when song shall be changed to moan,
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rock a by, baby; the meadow IS in bloom,
May never the frost pail the beauty in bloom,
Be thy world ever so bright as to day ii is seen,
Rock aby, baby, thy cradle is green.

A TINY WRITER.

Who IS so busy with the ink?
1t is little Paul, think;
Joe can write-that 8 very true
But he cannot scrawl like you.
What busy little man
TITS not often that you can
Undisturbed, with ink and pen,
Write as do quite grown.up men.
Joe writes with pencil, that IS pity,
Thinks Paul. he finds the ink so pretty.
Now he has Finished in a row
Stand six tall Ps-a splendid show.
But on the fingers, frock and hair,
The pinafore, and everywhere
Are blots; and there will be, fear
Six slaps for all this mischief here.
