THE GAY YOUNG GIRLS,

0the gay young grls how they brighten
Our homes; and our hearts how they lighter
or the burdens that they bear
In the days Of anxious care,
When we hear their merry laughter ringing out
Spon the ar.
1.-THE gay young girls are so jolly,
So free from the least melancholy,
We love to have them near,
To keep us In good cheer,
When troubles gather thickly, and the days
are dark and drear.
'Tfs the gay young girls who delight US,
Where pleasures and dpastimes invite US,
For they're ready to begin
The fun, and enter in
The frolics and the sports to help along the
the merry din.
O the gay young girls we remember,
Ere life was so near its December,
Were happY.hearted thronS.
Full Of laughter and of song.
win whom the dismal shadows had no chance
to linger long.
Let the gay young girls be as jolly
AS they can; we will laugh at their folly;
For too soon they leave our hearth,
And subdue their noisy mirth;
And the home that is without them Is the
dullest place on earth.

SEVERE CRITICISM.
How Young Man Was Cured of the ?oeti,

How Young Man Was Cured of the Poetic
Fever by a Wi'e Father.
A slight incident may change per.
sons entire career. A distinguished
Massachusetts lawyer relates the fol-
lowing story:
II think it is very likely that !
should have been poet, ana perhaps
a struggling literary man by occupa-
ton, if it had not been for q criticism
which my father once passed upon one
of my early efforts.
Il had just entered college, and was
full of literary enthusiasm, when be-
came seized with an inspiration to
write a poem on The Destiny Of Amer
ica.'
Il had burned a great dcal OF mid
night oil over the effusion. and had
polished it up to my satisfaction, when
/ finally ventured with feelings Of min
gled fear and pride, to submit it to my
fathers Judgment. shall not forget
the little scene. 1t was evening, and
he was sitting in front Of large wood
fire.
$50 you have written poem, eh?
said he. Let me read it.
II sat in trepidation while he strug-
gled through the rather long effort.
Finally he finished, and looked over at
me.
'Humphr said he. Have you
worked long over this"
"'About three weeks

Yes, sir

and have but one criticism to Offer
II looked up eagerly. What is it,
sir?' l asked.
THAT it lacks fire.
"And, saying this, my father threw
my poem into the fire.
Il thought this worry graphic criti.
cism was terribly severe at the time,
but as recall the structure and ex-
preston of the poem, have no doubt
that it was perfectly just. My sub
sequent better knowledge has con-
vinced me many times that l have no
poetic gift whatever, and that being
the case, it was no more nor less than
q kindness for my father, who quickly
recognized the want of merit in my
verses, to save me all further waste of

tied together with a white cord, and o

THE CUTTLE FISH.
Its Flesh Regarded with Great Favor
Food by the folynesians.

Its Flesh Regarded with Great Favor a.
Food by the folynesians.
The octopods are such ungainly and
repulsive-looking creatures that they
have not generally been used for food.
l find, however, that the cuttle-fsh
forms something of an exception to
.his rule, as appears from an account
published in the annual Record OF
Science and Industry" for 1873. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Simmons, the flesh OF
the large species of cuttle-fsh was es-
teemed great delicacy by the an
clients; and at the same time the ma
tives of the Polynesian Islands regard
it with great favor as food. These fish
are frequently met with throughout
India and China, dried, and offered lor
sale. In Chilli they are also considered
4 delicacy, and in Barbados species
Of loligo is often Rten. Mr.. Simmons,
however, considers the flesh as tough,
.ndigestible; innutritiols and uninvit-
.ng. He further states that there is an
extensive trade in species of octopod in
the waters of Tunis, and that they are
consumed largely during Lieut.. as
coming under the canonical head OF
fish. Three orfour thousand hundred
weight are generally marketed for this
purpose.
They are taken in deep water by
means OF earthern jars, strung to-
gether and lowered to the bottom OF
the sea, where they are allowed to re-
main certain number OF hours, dur
ing which the cuttlc-fsh enter into
them. Sometimes as many as eight OF
ten are taken from every jar at each
visit OF the fshermen!-Christian at
Work.
