MISCELLANY.
MY Peddler.

Each morn, peddler comes to me;
Tho he was born this side the sea,
Still It's as plain as plain can be
His accent is quite brokeni
His words, it's true, are very queer,
Yet unto me their meanings clear
And more like music to my ear
Than any language spoken.
He peddles apples, horses, books,
Hats, dolies, shoes and buttonhooks,
And then he peddles such sweet looks
Ne er was So much to choose from
I buy them all and order more;
lie goes no further than the door,
Then back to sell the same goods o'erl
Such hastel fear he'll lose some.

He calmly offers me kiss

Then down his goods go in n heap
And to my lap he tries to creep.

A Joke on LOngfellOw.

A good story Of Poet Longfellow is
told by the Bath Me- Independent.
Theodore S. Mcclellan was foreman of
the printing establishment of Joseph
Griffin when Longfellow, then living
in the Barrows house, issued his first
volume of poems and worked on the
book. Longfellow was very painstaking
with his manuscript and always used to
send in the copy for each form nicely
stitched together. To distribute it
among the compositors it had to be cut
apart. This annoyed the poet greatly,
and he protested earnestly against the
mutilation Three different proof sheets
We're sent him, it being understood that
if the last proof was not returned to the
Office within half an hour the form could
be struck off. On one occasion Long
fellow wrote on the back of the first re-
wise;

Rare Presence of Mind.

"I knew a sea captain who died some
years ago who displayed great presence
of mind at most critical time, said
Henry S. Roberts of Boston. His ship
had caught fire, and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take to the boats
in hurry. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confusion
and fright of the embarSation, and at
last every one but himself was got safe
ly into the boats. BY the time he was
readyto follow tho passengers were wild
with fear and excitement. Instead Of
hurIying down the ladder, the captain
called out to tie sailors TO hold on q,
minute, and taking a cigar from his
pocket cool3Ybit the end of and lighted
if6g6f b dRe iSesi 4f u the ,bpTapas ljEgtng-
ton and gave the order to shove off.
How could you stop to light cigar at
such mement?' he was afterward ask
ed by one of the passengers. Because,
he answered, 'Fsaw that if did not do
something to divert your minds there
would likely he panic and upset the
boats. The lighting Of a cigar took but
moment and attracted the attention
of everybody. You all forgot yourselves
in thinking about my curious behavior,
and we get safely away. "-St. Louis

Danish Peasantry.

The Danish peasantry have notable
love of order and symmetry in house
hold arrangement, placing their furni-
ture wherever possible in pairs and in
exactly corresponding positions. One
old peasant who had accumulated lit
tie money and had been prevailed upon
to buy his daughter a piano seriously
considered buying another to place
against the opposite wall. Their bed
steads consist of great boxes, generally
painted red or green and heaped with
feather beds, between which they in
sinuate themselves winter and summer.
If unable to afford so many feathers, the
underbe0 is Of straw and receives SO
little attention that mice build their
nests in it and race back and forth
squealing shrilly without disturbing the

Tho Missionary Children.

Bobbia lived in tho country where
they had little schooling. One day their
teacher told them of q country called
Japan, away across the sea. She said
that missionaries were sent TO help the
poor, and sometimes children sent toys
to the poor little boys and girls
After the children reached home they
went to tho nursery and found some toys
they had thrown away and ran outdoors
down to the stream. Then Frank put
his ittle-roplsing horse and ball in the
water, and Mary put her doll and doll
trunk in it, ana Lucy put her doll in,
and little Bobbie put his little wheel
barrow in the wafer with piece of pa
per in it This was aSletter to the little
Japs.
When the children had finished, they
sat down and watched the toys float off.
They soon forgot about the toys, and
never thought again about the people
across the ocean.
One day an old fisherman farther
down the stream was out in his boat,
when he saw in the distance little red
speci that was. stuck in the mud on the
bank of the river He rowed to the spot
and picked the little red wheelbarrow
up that Bobbie had sent to the Japs, and
in it was the paper. So the man opened
it, and he'read as follows:
DEAR LITrLE JAPAN PEorLE-We send you
these toys toia H4patiss across the ocean from
q country that Is miles away. From Bobbie,
Lucy, Mary and frank Brown.
But they meyer got to Japan at all.
