A Pitiful Scene.
IS MY MAMMA LOCKED UP HERE !

Is MY MAMMA LOCkED HERE
A bright looking boy entered the Chest
nut Street Police Station last night. He
seemed to be in great distress.
"Well, my little fellow, said the big,
but kind-hearted sergeant at the station,
''what is troubling your
"Please, sir, is my mamma locked up
here? ?"
"Who is your mamma
"Please sir, her name is Martin
The sergeant looked at the record book
on which the names of all prisoners were
registered.
Yes, here is her name"
"Please, sir, can | see herr
"She is drunk. don't think it would
do you any good. Come back again in an
hour"
The poor little fellow, with his eyes
filed with tears. turned slowly, and reluct
antly left the office. In exactly an hour he
returned He had not been very far away,
but spent the time in going from store to
store watching the hour. This time he
was admitted to the door of the cell. The
mother had recovered partially from the
drunken stupor. N
81 will let her out in little while, my
boy" said the sergeant. patting the boy s
curly head. The latter's eyes frightened.
'Oh, thank you, SIR" he said.
"Where is your father. Is he dead
ono, sir, papa is at home"
"Why don't he come down for your
MOTHER"
Again the boys eyes filed with big
tears.
Because, sir, he's drunk too"
"Poor boy" muttered the officer, elf you
should grow up to be sober man you
would indeed be model"
mamma was always so kind and good, u
he continued, between his sobs. ''Papa
drank SO hard and then she thought she'd
stop him if she did it too. Now they both
get drunk SO often"
The recollection of his miserable home
seemed to fit across the boys mind and
again he burst into tears and the officer ex'
pressed much sympathy for the boy, whose
love for drunken mother was SO earnest
so deep. 1t was Temperance lecture thai
appealed to the hearts,. Louis Star.

A QUARREL AND WHAT CAME OF TT

A robin In an apple tree
, Sat singing loud, cheree cheree:
A blue bird on nodding spray
Was twittering his roundelay,
While near them, on blossoming vine,
A chattering wren was keeping time,
Below, 'mong grass and daisies sweet,
A worm and brown slug CHANGED to meet
GOOD day, Miss Slug" said Mr.. Worm,
Pray tell me how you like my squirm.n
Ills perfect grace" replied the slug,
And you are quite handsome bug"
Replied Sir Worm, with extra squirm
Inc sharp-eyed robin, peering down,
Cried out, " see slug 50 brown,
And near it in the waving grass
l see fat worm slowly pass
My breakfast now think I'll eat
And finish up on cherries sweet
Then boldly spake the bird in blue
The worm for me, the slug for you
Not So" the angry robin cried,
I'm sure both worm and slug spied;
By every precedent, you see,
Both worm and slug belong to me-
Miss Wren sat 'moug the vine leaves,
Listening to the angry birds dispute
I'll eat the worm and slug" quoth she,
while they are quarreling in the tree
Nosooner said than down she dropped
Like a brown leaf and softly hoped
To where they Law, wise little bird,
And gobbled them without word
Then swiftly flew to lilac spray,
And sang most exquisite lay
Bluebird and robin ceased to fight,
Seeing their breakfast vanished quite.
They looked askance at lady wren,
Glared at each other hard, and then
Flew separate ways without word,
Sadder, and we hope wiser, birds.
MORAL.
Now, boys and girls, think you see
The morals plain. 1t seems to me
That fighting doesn't pay;
For while like dogs you snarl and fight,
Some other peaceful, lucky wight
Will bear the prize away

A NICE LITTLE TIME.

saw little doggery
Upon little hill,
Isaw littls ugly man
A-coming from the mill.
And in the little doggery
The little man did go,
To take a little merry grog
With his little neighbor Joe.
And when they took little grog,
hey felt little big
They laughed little hearty laugh
And danced little jig.
They took little more, then
They got little tight;
They disagreed on politics,
And had little fight.
And when they had a little fight,
They felt as large as life
Each staggered to his little home
And whipped his little wife

SOME INSTRUCTIVE FACTS FOR SUGAR
PLANTERS.

Prof Vile, in experiments at Guada-
loupe, his headquarters, where all of his
experiments are made, with 1886 pounds
of complete fertilizer No. 4 made 3o,2OO
pounds of striped sugar cane. By increas-
ing the superphosphate from 352 pounds
to 52S ponds the crop was raised to
74,6GS pounds instead of 30, 200 pounds.
The 176 pounds of superphosphate which
produced this excess of crop (39, 4OS pounds
of sugar cane) was worth So 56, while the
excess of sugar cane which it made was
worth $64.
In experimenting with beets, using
complete fertilizer No. 2, Prof. Vile found
that by increasing the nitrogen 90 pounds,
worth So 80, he increased his acre OF beets
1896 pounds, worth $lO.o0.-Neao Dr.
