A CHILD OF SEVEN.

All the bells Of heaven may ring,
All the birds Of heaven may sing,
All the winds of earth may bring
All sweet sounds together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand Of harper, tone Of bird,
Sounds Of woods at shutdown stirred,
yelling waters winsome word,
Wind in warm. warm weather;
One thing yet there is, that none
Hearing ere its chimes be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun
Hoped in heaven hereafter:
Soft and strong, and loud and light,
Very round and very light,
Heard from mornings rosiest height,
Where the soul of all delight
Fills a child's clear laughter.
Golden bells of welcome rolled
Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so blithe in tones 50 bold
As the radiant mouth of gold,
Here that rings forth heaven
If the golden crested wren
Were a nightingale, why, then,
Something seen and heard Of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs child of seven.

Forced to Crime.

The Judge Of Belgaum had recently
before him case in which a man was
charged with the murder OF a child for
its bracelets and anklets, which were
of cheap silver and worth about TWEEN
ty rupees. The murderer had pawn
ed them for four rupees. The evidence
as to his guilt was overwhelming; in
deed, he did not deny the charge, but
pleaded that he committed the crime
under the impulse OF a pain in the
stomach, and he Wentso far as to ask
that that organ should be opened in
order that the truth OF the allegation
might be clearly demonstrated.
The Judge, however. declined to
have the operation performed, SAYS
the London Times, found the prisoner
guilty, and sentenced him to death.
The sentence was confirmed in the
usual way before the high court OF
Bombay.

logged his Memory.

The nine lives of q cat are often
difficult subject to deal with. Uncle
John Townsend had a number OF cats
as his only companions in the little
farmhouse, and finally decided that
one of them must be disposed Of. His
brother, who lived on the adjoining
farm, offered to kill it for him.
"Well, now, Abner, 1 calculate I'll
have to kill that black cat. He aim
no good except to eat. He won't
hunt, and won't have nothin, round
that can't earn it's own livin'; so you
jest take him off. :"
So said Uncle John on the morning
that Abner came to fulfil his promise.
"Kind OF a likely-lookin' cat" ven
tured Abner. John; ''you jest take
him off. !"
Abner departed with the cat and a
shotgun. At night he came over
again.
"Killed the old, cat did ye?" asked
his brother.
II reckon l did,, replied Abner; che
won't be troubled about rat-huntin,
after this"
Uncle John made no reply, but
pointed toward the hearthstone,
where sat Old Blackie, as we'll APP
parently, as ever.
t:Well!" CALCULATED Abner in sur
prise. Then after a moments silence
he turned toward his brother and
said, That's a likely cat. kinder
forgetful, maybe, but, / reckon he'll
hunt all right now. didn't kill him
but sort Of logged his memory"

Juvenile Arithmetic.

In the mental arithmetic class the
teacher had a great deal oil trouble
in making Johnny Jones understand
the simplest mathematical ideas,
though he seemed to be a boy Of
much natural good sense.
"Six from six leaves how many?"
asked the teacher.
ssHuh?" asked Johnny, apparently
'astonished at the question
IF you have six cents in your
pocket, and you lose them all, how
many do.you have left?'
Johnny put on a scornful look at
this, and answered, Zone l sup
pose!
Johnny Jones, how could you have
one OF your six cents lett when you
had lost them all"
Il didn't mean that I'd have one
cent left!'

VII. When whale bIubbers, do
not think he is crying because he is
afraid OF being caught. That isn't
why a whale blubbers at all. 1t is
only sign that he is laughing at you.
Boys blubber when they are unhap-
Ply. Whales do it because they are
amused.
VIII. Do not go hunting for whales
simply because you are out of kero-
sene oil. There are no kerosene-oll
whales, and if this is your purpose,
you are simply wasting time that
might better be spent learning how to
read Latin and Greek.
* Do not think because whale
wags his tail that he is pleased to see
you just as his blub bering is a sign
OF his amusement. so is his wagging
tail an Indication OF his wrath.
x. To attempt to catch whales with
lasso is great folly unless you are
anxious to get a bath, and know that
you will never enter the water OF your
own accord.
XI. Don t fish for whales, anyhow.
1t is dangerous sport for boys.

How Harry Climbed.

Harry was an errand boy for a
grocer, or rather was a general-utility
boy. He swept the store, set out the
boxes containing the vegetables on
the sidewalk in the morning; took
them In at night, carried parcels, and
as he learned more about the business,
waited on customers He was paid a.
small stipened at first, and then his
wages were increased as his services
became more valuable. There were
two or three clerks in the store, and
over all was the employer. Harry
aspired to be a clerk, and in due
time he was promoted to that posi-
ton. In odd times he studied the
market report and knew the prices of
things and sources OF supply; he
read agricultural journals and became
an expert in Judging OF butter and
cheese, OF apples and other fruits, OF
potatoes and other vegetables. He
studied up the history of foreign
fruits and other importations,
and he became generally q
cyclopadia as to all matters
connected with grocery supplies. In
progress OF time a steamship company,
looking for a competent purchaser Of
provisions, was advised of Harry's
qualifications for the post, and en-
gagged him at a large salary. He was
now able to lay up every year a
handsome sum, and in ten years he
purchased an interest in large es-
Establishment doing business IN every
quarter OF theglobe. By. the demands
OF the trade he was required to visit
now one foreign port and then anoth-
er until he became quite a traveller,
saw much OF the world, and mingled
freely with the best people. He is
| now at the head of the house, lives in
his own brownstone front, has a wife
and several lovely children, is an
officer in his church, and most res
pecued and influential member Of So
ciety. The Northwestern Congrega-

Sporting Rules for Boys.
WHALING.

I. Never fish for whales in trout
streams, unless you have a good
strong derrick with which to land
such of the monsters as may nibble
at your hook.
II. Never attempt to catch whales
with hooks made Of bent pins. They
only aggravate the whales, and are
not strong enough to land any but
the smallest Of leviathans.
III. Angle-worms are not considered
good bait for whales, but if you can
find no other bait, see to it that the
worms are at least sixty -eight feet in
length, and weigh not less than two
tons.
". When youhave landed a whale,
do not, under any circumstances,
attempt to preserve it alive by put
tingit into a pail, which only unnecess-
arily prolongs it's sufferings.
" Whales weighing under four tons
should be thrown back.in order that
they may grow larger. The reason
for this is that the larger whale
grows, the more valuable he becomes.
1t is permissible for you to fasten a
tag bearing Your nameupon them, 50
that those who may chance to catch
them later will know that they belong
to YOU.
vi Ii whale when about to be
landedsmanages to getaway from you,
do not try to restrain him by throw
ing a net over him, or by jumping in
to the stream and climbing on his
back. A course OF this kind is apt to
be attended with very great danger.

A Curious Pig.

An account of a curious pig comes
from Australia. A Mr.. LeMortemore,
living at seriana Creek, Queensland,
has lately shot an animal which he
describes as a sort of tree-clinIblng
pig. For number OF years wild pigs
have been numerous in that locality,
and his theory is that the original Or
common pig has been changed, partly
by the;necessities OF his wild life, into
the variety he has discovered.
The captured animal weighs about
hundredweight, and is pretty fat,
with bristly brown fur, small black
spots, snout and ears like pig; but
the jaw is furnished with front teeth
like a, rodent; and has also large
CANNES and powerful back grinders.
"The fore feet are furnished with
hooklike claws, but the hind ones with
only two hooks upon each hoof. The
tail is thick, about foot long, and
highly prehensile, and in a state Of
rest it is usually carried by the animal
III NAlctO 10 hdOWu CtS ct L 1tllllSll COI.
A Flemish coil, | believe, somewhat
resem bles the figure s.
This last item about the new Aust
ralian pig is impressive. Itshows that
this pigs ideas about the proper
arrangement for a tail are novel
and striking, and that he must have
devoted some attentionto the subject.
This Australian animal has other
peculiarities. 1t is furnished with a
pouch, which it appears to use for
carrying a supply OF food while tray
cling or migrating to fresh pastures.
"In drought the animal climbs trees,
and hangs by it's tail while it gathers
it's food by its hook claws
Mr.. LIE Mortemore intends ensnaring
more OF these pigs. He declares that
the flesh is excellent, resembling veal
and ham pie
A pig that climbs trees, carries his
tail in a Flemish coil and his dinner
in a bag, and whose flesh furnishes
veal and ham pies, is certainly a.
novelty, even in Australia, the land OF
novelties. -Harpers Young People.

Among those In opposition were James

miles of Baltimore, whereas now they
are compelled to drive eighteen miles to
reach Baltimore by land The cost OF
the bridge. which viii be 400 yards long

Company are now located. They claim
that il would prevent the improvement

ton
The building of such bridge at this
point would virtually destroy one of the
most navigable streams on the Chesa-
peake, as ships of the heaviest draught
of water can enter here at any tide, and
ii was on account OF this great depth of
water that these manufacturing indus
tries were induced TO settle here with
their immense capital Since 1885, the
taxable basis of the county have increas
ed more than million and half of dol
lars and these industries have paid more
than one tenth of all the taxes of the
whole county. If this bridge is built it
will virtually destroy these industries
TO our county and drive them 10 seek
more favorable locations. Curtis Bay is
about two miles long and has one of the
best water fronts TO be found anywhere
on the bay, and TO put bridge across it
would shut of all shipping industries at
