The Emperor and the Pirate.

Alexander the Great was about topass
sentence of death on noted pirate, but
previously asked him, why dost thou
trouble the seasF
"Why," rejoined the rover boldly,
"dost thou trouble the whole world? L,
with one ship, go in quest of solitary ad-
venture and am therefore called pirate
Thou, with a great army, warrest against
nations and therefore art called en-
peror. Sir, there is no difference be-
twixt us but in the name and means of
doing mischief"
Alexander, so far from being dis
pleased with the freedom of the culprit,
was so impressed with the force of his
appeal that he dismissed him unpun-
ished.-Sala's Journal.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Child's Mirror.

"where is the baby, grandmamma?"
The sweet young mother calls
From her work In the coy kitchen,
with its dainty whitewashed walls.
And grandma leaves her knitting.
And looks for her all around;
But not a trace of baby dear
Can anywhere he found.
No soHnd of merry prattle,
No CLEAN of its sunny hair,
No patter of tiny footsteps,
No sign of 1t anywhere.
All through the house and garden,
Far out into the field,
They search each nook and corner,
But nothing is revealed
And the mothers face grew pallid;
Grandmamma's eyes grew dim;
The fathers gone to the village
No use to look for him.
And the baby lost Where's Rover"
The mother CHANGED to think
OF the old well in the orchard
Where the cattle used to drink.
where's Rover? know he'd find her
Roverl" In vain they call,
They hurry away to the orchard;
And there, by the moss-grown wall,
Close to the well lies Rover,
Holding to baby's dress.
She was leaning over the wells edge
In perfect fearlessness
She stretched her little arms down,
But Rover held her fast,
And never seemed to mind the kicks
The tiny bare feet cast
So spitefully upon him,
But wagged his tail instead,
To greet the frightened searchers;
While naughty baby said
"Dere's a little dirl in the ater;
She's dust as big as me.
Mamma, want to help her out.
And take her home to tea.
But Rover he won't let me-
And don't love him. Go
Away you naughty Rover
Oh why are you crying so?"
The mother kissed her, saying:
My darling, understand;
Good Rover saved your life, my dear
And see, he licks your hand
Kiss Rover" Baby struck him,
But grandma understood;
She said, It's hard to thank the friend
Who thwarts us for our good"
