A Boy Fighting Turtles.
TPOughkeepsie Press. I


While the fve-year-old son of John
Purcell was playing boat" in mud pond
or flag marsh of Rochester he was attacked
by large number of swapping turtles,
very numerous in that section, and sus-
tanned several severe bites from the hth-
erto considered inofensive reptiles. No
cause is known for the attack, and in that
section is entirely unprecedented.
1t seems the first warning the little fell
low had was a general gathering of the
turtles around him, each uttering pecul-
lar croaking noise. The little tot, being
questioned about it by the attending ply
stefan. said: Gay all commenced to hol-
lar an frew tones at 'em. Zen yunned
an failed an zey all bite my legs Fan foots
an hurt me orful bad" His mother hear
ing his screams rushed to his assistance
only to find him completely surrounded
by the ugly things, which were literally
chewing him to pieces and sucking his
blood, and it was with some difficulty that
she beat them off with a clothes-stick which
she happened to be holding in her hand.

The king of Spain is called Alfonso XIII.
He is a very small king, not yet three
years old; and, as some one has well said,
he has the most comfortable throne in
Europe-on his nurses lap. TheSpanish
government pays 81, 100000 annually for
his maintenance, so you see king is a
very expensive luxury, which we can
very well do without. His Austrian
mother, Queen Christina, however, is very
fond of him, and thinks he is worth more
than all the gold in the world. When grave
ambassadors come to visit her, she will
run out of the room. bring in
the little king, hold him up proudly, and
display his plump arms and pretty little
feet Once she went on a journey to
northern Spain. The chief magnate of
the district, duke, prepared courteous
address of welcome, which he commenced
to read. Just then the baby king COM
menced to cry; the queen blushed; the
duke was both quick-witted and kind
hearted, and he stopped reading with the
remark: "When the king speaks his sub
jects should keep silence" This made
the queen laugh, caused everybody to feel
good-natured, the crying soon ceased, and
the address was finished.

The Child and Mr. Thaekeray.

A lady tells this story of the novelist,
Thackeray, who once visited her house:
After having told lot of delightful stories,
Mr.. Thackeray remarked that he must
leave, as he was SO terribly hungry. We
told him that we could give him really
good dinner There is nothing, my
dears, you can give me" he answered with
funny sigh, ''for l could only eat the chop
of rhInoceros or a slice from an ele-
plant" Eyes, l TAM" exclaimed my
three-year-old sister. She disappeared
into big cupboard and soon emerged
with a look of triumph on her fat little
face, holding in her hand a wooden
rhinoceros and an elephant from her
Noah's ark. Putting the two animals on
a plate, she handed them with great grav-
ity to Mr.. Thackeray. The great man
laughed and rubbed his hands with glee,
and then taking the child in his arms,
kissed her, remarking, "Ah, little rogue,
YOU already know the value of a kiss"
Then he asked for knife and fork,
smacked his lii s, and pretended to devour
the elephant and rhinoceros.

Gaily the bluehird MARBLES spring,
From orchard boughs, where blossoms cling,
And soft the south breeze greets tn hours
With music from the land Of flowers.
The lilac now, with greenest leaves,
From the bland air its strength receives,
And opens to the morning eye
Its fragant crown Of purple dye.
The forest, from its stately head,
Shakes off its garlands, pale and dead,
And like an Orieuta, queen,
Puts on its dress of living green;
Its dusky limbs, seen here and there,
Serve but to make its robes more fair,
While flowers of earliest blooming greet
The sunshine fickerIng at its feet.
Deep with its tide of melted SHOWS,
On its wild way, the river flows;
Its trUant angler answering shrill
The 2lowboy's signal on the hill;
When from the schoOl-house in the vale,
The pedagOgue. with visage pale,
Strides forth TO teach, with rod and rule,
The blockhead of the village school.
The fruit trees blossomiug in pride,
Like almond groves on Clrmels side,
Wave in the morning gale and fling
Their petals in the lap of spring.
The running myrtle twines around
The grave within the burial ground,
While, startled by affections tread,
Fits the lone bird that loves the dead.
How Joyous is the time of flowers.
OF humming bees and whispering bowers,
When rosy children seek the wood,
Where the sly partridge trains her brood;
Fen pale consumption stops awhile,
And spreads DER beauty's face a smile;
While nature, from her slumbering free,
Warns the bleak vale and budding tree.
When earth's cold winter of the soul
In death shall yield its strong control,
And from that chill embrace the heart,
Like the first spring violet shall start;
o. may the breeze of Eden play
Around it in eternal day,
And cause the wither'd bud TO bloom
In fadeless beauty beyond the tomb.
