Where do the little bugs go
When the earth's all snow
And the cold winds blow2
That's what I'd like TO know.
Maybe the doodle bug digs deep,
While little lady bug only will weep,
And the beetle says, "I'll keep
ThSn by and by they all go to sleep
Where do the fat worms go
When the mercury's low
And the wind drifts the snow?
Now, I'd really like to know.
Perhaps they all hide
In deep cracks, and bide
Till it's warm outside,
willing to wait for the turn Of the tide
II you happen TO know
Where the bugs and worms go
When the earth is all snow
And the sun won't shine,
Just drop me line.

Two gentlemen, one an American
and the other a Viennese, met at an
Austrian watering place, and, after
a short hut delightful acquaintance,
the Viennese discovered that the
American, who had given his name
as Hunt, let US say, was banker.
"Are you, then, the head of the
house of Hunt, in New York;" he
asked, in surprise and interest.
Il am"
"How very strange!"
"Why stranger"
81 cannot give you satisfactory
reply without telling you sad
story" was the answer, and he went
on to relate the following incident;
Two years before a charming girl
who was under his guardianship had
married a man who had at once set
up in business on his wife's capital,
and had become bankrupt. The next
step was his disappearance, and so
discouraged had he been over his
ruined hopes that every one believed
him to have committed suicide.
Within a few months, however,
his sorrowing wife had received a
letter from him written from town
in one Of the Western States Of
America. He begged her to forgive
him for leaving her, and promised to
send for her as soon as fortune should
once more favor him.
Letters continued to come, now

Children Then and Now.

"From One / Knew the Best Of
All" Frances Hodgson Burnett writes
of the memory of a child, as follows
In those days, l think, the Chill
dren's Century had not begun. Chill
dren were not regarded as embryo
intellects, whose growth 1t is the
pleasure and duty Of intelligent ma
turity to foster and protect. Morals
and manners were attended to, des-
perate efforts were made to conquer
their natural disinclination to wash
their hands and faces, it was a time
honored custom to tell them to snake
less noise" and l think everybody
knelt down in his night-gown and
said his prayers every night and
morning. / wish / knew who was the
originator of the nursery verse, which
was a kind of creed:
"Speak when you're spoken to,
Come when you're called,
Shut the door after you,
And do as you're told.n
The rhyme and meter were, per-
haps, not faultless, but the senti-
ments were without flaw.
A perfectly normal child knew
what happened in his own nursery
aud the nurseries of its cousins and
juvenile friends; it knew something
Of the romances of Mrs. Barbauld and
Miss Edgeworth and the adventures
related in Peter Parley's annual. 1"
Religious aunts possibly gave it hor-
rible little books containing memoirs
of dreadful children who died early
of complicated diseases, whose linger-
ing developments they enlivened by
giving unlimited moral advice and
instruction to their parents and i'm
mediate relatives, seeming, fgur-
atively speaking, to implore them to
go and do likewise, and perishing
to appropriate texts. The Small Per-
son suffered keen privNte pangs of
conscience and thought she was a
wicked child, because she did not like
those books and had vague feeling
OF disbelief in the children. 1t SEEM
ed probable that she might be sent
to perditiOn and devoured by fire and
birthstone because Of this irreligious
indifference, but she could not over
come 1t. But l am afraid the Small
Person was not a normal child. Still
she really could not help it, and she
has been sufficiently punished, poor
thing, even while she has been un-
duly rewarded. She happened to be
born, as a clever but revoltingly can
did and practical medical man once
told her, with cerebral tumor Of
imagination. -Scribner's Magazine.

THE BELLS BENEATH THE SEA.

Hle sea IA calm. the wind Is fair,
Nor ever cloud doth lower
The good ship speeds with the blessed belis
She bears to l|oltreaux tower.
The pilot crossed his breast. and cried.
THANK GOd. the harbOr's near,
For verper bells at 1lntagel
Ring out their music clear
AYE, thank the Lord for our good speed
Across the doubtful seal
"FoOll' sneered the captain, thank thyself;
God holds no helm for thee"
The pDt crossed his breast, and cried.
God pardon thee once more,
And grant that We may safely come
Unto the Cornish shore"
The captains oath was on his lips,
Or ever the sun went down.
And while the people thrOnged the cliffs
Above the harbor town,
A mighty wave swept DER the sea.
With dull and sullen roar.
The good ship trembed all her length
As she sank 10 rise no more.
Then DER the whelming waters pealed
tAs toilng funeral knells
For those lost sousj the soft, sweet chimes
OF the Forrabury bells.
The moss creeps over Botreaux church,
Where rings no yesper lay;
Still waits the tower its blessed bells,
And silent stands today.
For low beneath the Cornish wave,
Where tangled wrecks lie deep,
The Forrabury bells are hid
And their sweet echoes keep.
But ever gainst the billows toss,
And storm winds shrek In glee;
Their muffied chimes he blessed bells
Still ring beneath the sea.

been repeatedly said, suffers from nervous
exhaustion caused by the hurried, spas
