A CURBSTONE SCENE.

In the shade of n tree, by the street Of city,
Lay 4 tired little boy, with the turf for his bed,
In rags, but no beggar appealing to pity,
A child of the low Y who toiled for his bread.
Beside him handcart stood loaded with fuel,
Bits of board he had Cleaned in the lanes
where he crept,
Till the wheels oer the pavement dragged
heavy ard cruel,
And spent with the strain of his burden, he
slept.
viii any one care, as the many pass nigh him:
A threadbare wood-sawyer, bent, wrinkleG
and oil,
Caught sight OF the sleeper, came near and stood
by him,
And read in the picture the story it told.
Hungry face, scanty raimeat, with barely a
button,
Hatless head, naked feet, fretted sore on the
stone
He fshed out a morsel OF dry bread and mutton,
And left him the dinner he'd brought for his
own. kSsa
There were eyes bright and merry, eyes fearful
and tender,
On the watch ere the old man had tiptoed
away,
And some, in that meek loan of love and its
lei der,
Saw the angel that stopped where the little
boy lay.
And the soul OF the child, through the tatters
that wound him,
Drew the souls of the clad and the fed to his
side;
Young and old brought their blessings to scat
ter around him,
And crumbs from the table OF God to divide.
A boy and man dropped dime and a dollar,
Women opened their purses by ones and by
twos
Willing h nds from the mansions, both greater
and smaller,
Brought q jacaet, hat, and stout pair OF
shoes.
All ste a hy and silent, with gentle conniving,
They laid CoAn their gifts with the wood
sawyers crust,
And fingered 10 see, at the slcep@r's reviving
His bashlul thanksgiving smile up from the
dust.
Soon the little boy woke Was it bounty or
plInder
Spread out at his feet: Then a laugh in his
ears
Turned his face where glance gave the key to
the wonder,
And he clasped his new riches with bushes
and teas.
And his helpers had JOY that was tender and
holy
When they looked then and after, full many q
day.
Down the street where the toil-ridden child
of the lowly
With his cart and his treasures had trottcd
away.
o, hearts that are human are human forever
You may osc them in caste, bat they beat
through The wall.
Wealth and want own kinship no breeding
can sever,
And in sorrow the lowest are brothers OF all.
Bound love needs the magic OF pity to free it;
Men only are selfish because they are blind;
When The poorhelp the poor, if the whole world
could see it,
The naughty would blush, and the cruel grow
kind.

THE MOLLUSK WORLD.
What a Naturalist Saw on a Shell-Strewn
Spit of Sand.

What a Naturalist Saw on u Shell-Strewn
Spit of Sand.
But how shall we describe the wealth
OF the mollusk world which meets US
in our researches in the treasury of
coral reef at low tide? Let us land on
this shell-strewn spit of sand. Why,
the whole place is alive! Can it be
that the mollusks we have just been
visiting in their quiet homes among the
sea-weeds have taken to walks abroad,
and on dry land, too, in their leisure
moments? For as we jump ashore
numberless shells of all shapes and
sizes start suddenly into life on the
beach and run aside to give us place.
Legs they must have to go that pace
over the uneven shore. There goes a
turritella! We shall be safe in hand
ling him by reason of the spiral pyra-
mid which those legs-legs they must
be--carry upon their back. Moreover,
he makes comparatively bad time in
getting out of our way, for turritella
is an unwieldly thing for legs to carry
over an uneven shore. We lift him up
gingerly with thumb and forefnger to
look for those legs, and the secret is
out. OF legs we can see nothing, but
closely fitted into the opening of the
shell, as if originally made for the
place, we discover the brilliant scarlet
and white mandibles of the hermit
crab. These, then, were crabs that
were in such q hurry to get out of our
way-crabs, certainly, and of consider
able size, too, some of them; some
babies among them only big enough to
fit the smallest whelk; others large
enough to fill with their mandibles the
opening in marbled turbo, largest of
its species. But why call these gentle
men hermits? So far as we can Judge
they are the most gregarious of their
kind. OF their battles to secure d
coveted tenement we could tell some
,ies.-Blackwelrs Magazine.

HUNTING FOR HEADS.
A Vicious Habit Prevailing Among New
Guinea Savages.

n
Guinea Savages.
The bad habit some savages have Of
cutting off the heads of any strangers
who fall in their way simply because
heads are required to adorn their sa-
cred houses or to serve in the dedicato-
ry exercises of their war canoes, has
tragically ended the careers of num-
ber of white men within the past year.
The latest news from New Guinea is
that Mr.. Armstrong, an Englishman,
was recently lured to one of the coast
islands, where he was decapitated and
his head sent to the coast chiefs as
proofs that the islanders were attend
ing to business. About year ago a
brave in one of the wild tribes ON the
Indian frontier was not permitted to
wed the maiden of his choice, because
her relatives were of the opinion that
he had not acquired sufficient number
of heads to demonstrate his prowess.
1t was agreed that when he could show
two more heads he might have the
SlFl, anu SO llC odtlICu lOtIll W w LII rep
utation and bride. 1t happened that
the first strangers the brave and his
party encountered were Lieutenant
Stewart of the British army and his
small escort, who were led into an am
bush and slaughtered, and their heads
taken back in triumph to the village.
This was the cap sheaf of a series of
head-hunting outrages, and the brave
had not long enjoyed his honeymoon
before an Indian expedition fell upon
the tribe and gave it some new views
on the ethics OF head-hunting. This fa-
vorite pastime has ilourished greatly at
Borneo, but it is now in bad way in the
British part of that island. where the
penalty of death is visited upon every
head-hunter who is unlucky enough to
be caught. A while ago the British
authorities. in settling Il dispute be-
tween two tribes, found that one viii
lage persisted in head-hunting because
the other fellows had three heads the
advantage of them. The accounts were
balanced by small supply of trade
goods, and the rival head-hunters
promised thereafter 10 live in amity.-

A PLEASANT VOICE.
It Is to the Heart What Light Is to the
Human Eye.


Human Eye.
There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels,
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day, at
work, at play, to get and keep a voice
that shall speak at all times the
thought of a kind heart. But this is
the time when a sharp voice is most
apt to be got. You often hear boys and
girls say words at play with q quick,
sharp tone, as if it were the snap of a
whip. When one of them gets vexed
you will hear voice that sounds as if
it were made up of a snarl, a whine
and bark. Such voice often speaks
Morse than the heart feels. 1t shows
more ill-will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often in mirth that one
gets voice or tone that is sharp and
sticks to him through life, and stirs up
lill-will and griet, and falls like drop
of gall on the sweet joys at home. Such
as these get a sharp home voice for
use, and keep their best voice for those
they meet elsewhere. would say to
all the boys and girls: Use your guest
voice at home" Watch it day by day
as pearl of great price, for it will be
worth TO you in days to come more
than the best pearls hid in the sea. A
kind voice is q lark's song to hearth
and home. 1t is to the heart what light
is to the eye.-Farm and Fireside.

MASTER OF BALLANTRAE.
A Song which Rough Irish Sentinels
Make Ring Again.

Make Ring Again.
/ The talk fell, as it did often, on the
exiles in France; so it glided to the
matter of their songs. There is one,
says the master. 'if YOU are curious in
these matters. that has always seemed
to me very moving. The poetry is
harsh; and yet, perhaps because ofmy
situation, it has always found the way
