LITTLE BOY BLUE.


The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds i'll his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
rNow, don't you go till I come he said,
"And don't you make any noiser'
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh. the years are many. the wears are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ave. faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
wears through,
In the Dust of that little chair
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Strange.
New York Recorder.
Once there lived with an old woman a
little girl whose name was Marion. This
old woman was very cross, and she
used to make poor little Marion, who
was only nine years old, do all the bard
work.
One day when she had cleaned ND the
dinner dishes and put the place in
order she went out into the yard to feed
the chickens. and what was her sur
prise when she saw playing with them
a little fairy with golden wand.
- he was not frightened, as most little
girls OF her age would be, for she walked
right up to the fairy and asked what
her name was. At this the fairy be
came very angry and said: "l on
wicked little girl. how dare you ask
fairy what her name is?" and with that
she touched Marion with her wand.
and Immediately Marion became fox.
The fairy then danced around the fox
for glee and vanished.
As Marion was now a fox she could
not cry, so she trotted away into the
woods and found little cave, where
she took up her abode.
NON Sic GlOuSllI was lHC GlIIC w pay
back the old woman, whom she called
Granny, but she really was not Marion
grandma. So by and 10y she trotted
back to the house, where she caught
two nice, fat chickens, which made for
her a very good dinner. The next day
she did the same thing, and so on until
there were only two chickens left. At
this old Granny was very angry. as she
did not know what had become of either
Marion or the chickens. One day when
Marion. the fox, was eating one OF the
chickens for her dinner in the cave, who
stood before her but the fairy:
Well" said the fairy, 'how do you
like living the life Of fox? l guess
not very much, but you will only have
to stay in your present shape ten years,
and then you shall be restored 10 your
form"
After saying this she vanished as

mysteriously as she had appeared.
Marion did not reply, although SHE was
not very anxious to become a girl again,
as she would only have to work had for
Germany. But she said to herself:
Ten years is a long time, and by that
time | will be grown up"
Marion had very good time in her
free life in the woods. and hardly knew
how time flew by. AS she was one day
YEARLY chasing wounded bird. sud
denly the whirr Of an arrow was heard,
and Marion rolled over as if dead.
Just then the prince of that country
and his hunters came riding along, and
what was his surprise when, instead OF

ground a beautiful maiden. He lifted

Mr.. Karweise is naturally very enthu-
SiaStlc over his route. and lie tells OF its
advantages in fOrcible and graphic
style. He says the great mortality
which marked operations on the Pan
anna canal was due to the mode OF life
OF the wurkmen. Instead of adapting
themselves to tropical conditions,
they lived as heartily as though
still in northern regions. Whisky and
brandy were responsible for many of
the deaths. "If wOrkmen would live
simply on rice and fruits" said he.
they could stand the climate we'll
enough. Tea and coffee should be sub
sttutcd tor ardent spirits, and even
these used sparingly." Mr.. Karwelse
has held several important positions.
He was at one time consulting engineer
to the khcdive of Egypt. In 1876 he was
