THE LITTLE FOLKS.
The Snow Battle.

From the signs OF the times it is safe to say
That the big white fort viii be stormed to-day
The besiegers stand in battle array,
And the enemy take position.
The drums are beaten, the trumpets blare,
The flags are-fiu6tering everywhere,
And every resolute soldier there
Has an arnlful of ammunition.
Their shouts ring out in the frosty sky.
They charge they pause-they waver and hyl
They halt-they form-and again they try
With reckless, wild endeavor.
Fiercer and closer the conflict grows.
Who cares now for tingling nose?
He that first DER the rampant goes
Is covered with glory forever.
Thicker and faster the missiles fail.
Hark to the leader stirring call
"Oni On Over the wall
The enemy's ranks are shakenl7
Bravely and blindly on they go,
Facing fearful yolley of snow
Now on the height their banners glow
Hurrah for the fort is takenl

Writes an old-timer: "The night
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated [
witnessed curious incident, which [
shall never forget [ was one Of a
party Of young men playing billiards
about a square from Ford's Theater,
where Lincoln was shot. The fatal
shot had not more than died away in
the reverberations in the theater than
word flew like wildfre along the street
that Lincoln was assassinated. A
young medical student who knew our
party happened to be returning home
from the dissecting room when he
heard the news. He was carrying the
forearm of man, and had it wrapped

awful news he threw away the news

human bone above his head, rushed
into our billiard room and shouted in
an excited manner: Lincoln is kill

it was some time before we could be

that collected around the theater. An

About Necklaces.

Necklaces in the reign of Char1es ].
were made of amber set in gold.
PhaEaah put gold chain about
Joseph neck as a mark of his author
ity in Egypt.
Among the Tartars Of the time of
Genghis Khan the necklace was often
made OF human teeth.
The Southern negYAes constantly wear
bead necklaces, looking upon them as
genuine charms.
In the reign of Henry VIII. anyone
who had net goo per year income
could not wesG a necklace.
One of the most yaIu&ble and Gov
eted possessions of the Western Indian
is the necklace of grizzly bears claws.
The Puritans abolished necklaces, as
they abolished everything they laid
their hands on which savored of orna-
ment.
Thousands of people place necklaces
of eoaal beads apoand the necks of
babies, with the belief that they will
assist the children la teething.
When the Saxon dynasty vas over
thrown by the Normans all persons be-
low a certain rank were forbidden to
wear necklaces under heavy penalty.
In South America the natives wear
necklaces Of a peculiarly marked seed,
which belongs TO a plant growing only
on the mountains along the snow line.

protect themselves the settlers had
built Fort Henry, which was erected
on the right bank of the Ohio, a short

.sDo Look Like a Lady?,'

About thirty years ago, says the
Youths Companion, a young girl in
a Western city was given charge of q
Sunday school class of rough boys,
usually known as "river rats, who had
never been in any school before. When
she entered the room she found them
lounging on the desk and benches,
wearing their hats, putting vile cigars,
defiant leer on every face. They
greeted her with a loud laugh, and one
of them exclaimed:
"Well, sis, you goin' to teach us ?"
She stood silent until the laugh was
over and then said quietly:
"Do look like lady?"
An astonished stare was the only
reply they gave.
Because" she continued, gently,
"gntlemen, when a lady enters the
room, take off their hats and throw
away their cigars.
The lowest American secretly be-
heves himself to be a gentleman, and
in a moment every hat was off and the
lads were ranged In orderly attention.
So remarkable was the success of
the girl in managing and influencing
men Of the toughest sort that she
made it the work of her life She es-
tablished clean and respectable board
ing houses for sailors and boatmen,
and reading and coffee rooms for labor
ers, and founded an order of honor, the
members of which strove to lead sober,
Christian lives themselves and to help
their fellows to do the same.
