directed to lovers, to intrigue, novels
and all manner of vanities before the

Some conclusions of my long study
of children may here not be amiss
Though tickle and tyrannical they are
far more agreeable in intercourse than
men; for while children have unlimited
cXpedient of converse and AMUSEMENT
men are entirely restricted to asking
us a few stale questions, such as:
''How old are you?" What is your
nance" What are you going to DC,
; my boy, when you are a man." and to
fetching us sly cracks and then look
ing away with a pretense of playful
ness. showing not only great paucity
of ideas but a paltrincss thereof truly
depressing.
These memoirs of MY busy life, which
now draw to n close, l end with feel

| upon their youth, the memory of which
| they may at any time recall. it is but

upon my childhood, the memories OF
which las l know from older people)

which / shall with modification hear

| tell my childish sayings. How shadowy
| soever it may grow. this period of life
has been real to me; 1t has been made
up of days coming and going, of glad
ness and grief. of silent expectancy OF
praise for little acts of merit and OF
! hopes of pardon for little tire spasses.

A NEURALGIA TEMPER.

It Is an objectionable show of weakness
to Give the Feelings the Upper Hand.
II cannot understand" sensible
woman remarked to her companion, as
they left the house after calling on a
scmi-invalid friend, why it is that
Matties neuralgia seems always to go
to her temper. / know of a mum Der of
persons who suffer in this way and who
are. at least, toierab1e to get along
with: but Matte is absolutely unendur-
n BILE when she has one of her neuralgia
attacks don't think she suffers any
more than many. others whom I know,
but she does make the most dreadful
fuss about it. think that it is as
necessary to educate oneself to bear
pain as to do anything else in the
world. The barbarian is in many
cases stole as far as pain is concerned
simply because he is taught that to
howl or cry or make any exhibition of
his feelings when he is hurt is weak
ness 1t is said that people are much
less likely to die if they make great
cutlery than if they grimly and silently
bear their pain. If making an ado is
of any avail, fancy poor Matte may
come to be immortal, for she makes
more fuss over neuralgia, or, indeed, of
pain of any sort, than any person
ever knew: and she is undeniably ugly,
indeed vicious, under such circum-
stances. She seems to delight in
Furnishing the children or crossing the
maids or members of the family in
every possible way. 1t seems pity
that anyone who can be as agreeable
as Matte is when she is well should
allow herself to be so unspe akably dis
agreeable when sick; and everybody
about her is growing SO tired of it, I
think, that, il she keeps on, she will
lose much of the affection and respect
of her family and friends. 1t goes
without saying that neuralgia is very
hard to bear; but believe, and think
most intelligent persons will ayr ee
with me, that the nerves and temp er
may be to a great extent controlled, or,
at least. they should not be allowed to
get the upper hand to such an extent
as to destroy the happiness of an en-
tire household. ". Y. Ledger.

Having now arrived at the age of
three, l was allowed to venture out of
doors to join the children of our neigh
bors, whom with wonder I had seen
disporting in strange but interesting
games before our windows.
For long time after I had joined
them. these little people were n mys-
terry to me, and many a heart-ache !
experienced at my lack of success in
fraternizing with them.
In order to make myself a welcome
addition to their party, / took out with

upon they played express with my
wagon without asking or allowing me
to participate; they rode my velocipede,
while I. all in good faith. made a laugh

less at their side; they whipped my top
and answered my representations by

desired it / traded my toys for theirs,

ness of my own dissatisfaction coupled

cred a ninny by my parents, who sup
posed that I made the trades on my
Judgment When the children grew
tired of my toys and my complaisance,
they would go apart and play by them
selves, ostentatiously affecting that,
while they found my society distaste-
full they were fairly intoxicated with
the company of one another. And
when they were ready to quit sport for
the day, they would start a game of
hide and-seek, and, without question
pitching upon me to blind, would leave
me to look vainly for them after they
had scattered giggling to their homes

The United States fish commission steamer
Albatross, Captain Tanner. has arrived
from Sitka bound to the Mare island navy
yard. While the Albatross was towing
the British schooner Winifred, under

to Sitka, severe stormy weather was en-
countered. On two occasions it was neces-
sary to east the tow and lay to until the
storm abated.
The Albatross left Unalaska on August
2 and brought down no late news. Several
cases of specimens for the United States
fish commission exhibit at the Worlds
exposition at Chicago. were brought down.
Three Aleutian canoes, called bibarkie by
the natives, were also secured for the
exhibit. An investigation was made near
the seal islands.
