He's a Little Fellow.

Walking down the street, the other
day, l saw newsboy seated on graf

came little warmth from the basement
below. He had something beside him
covered up with a dirty, ragged old
handkerchief, and as l sat down along

"Look out, now, don't hurt him."
"What is ii?
He lifted the handkerchief with the
greatest care, and there, on one of the

CURRENT LITERATURE.
The March Magazines,

The March number of Godey's
Magazine shows that this famous old
publication is rapidly approaching the
front, and that the public is appreci-
ating it is shown by the phenomenal
increase in circulation during the last
few months. There are short stories,
sketches, poems, book reviews, and
fashions, The whole set off with nearly
one hundred superb illustrations. A.
together, it is one of the most attractive
magazines of the month.
THE two chief characteristics Of sci.
ence-the thoroughgoing quality Of it's
research and the wonderful progress
that it gives t. the arts-are both
prominent in The Popular Science
Monthly for March. The opening ar
tice is vivid illustrated description Of
The Birth of Siciian Volcano" by
Professor A. s. Packard. In a fully
illustrated article on Copper, Steel,
and Banknote Engraving" the various
divisions of the engraver's art, and
some of the measures taken TO prevent
counterfeting of b INK bills, are clearly
explained by q. W. Dickinson, Jr.
There is a biographical sketch, with
portrait, of the eccentric naturalist,
Thorn 10 n Ittall, who cut private doors
ami scuttl,s in the house at the Har-
ward Botanic Garden to avoid meeting
people. In the Editors Table the
teaching OF sociology in the universities
is discussed, and some additional fac s
about diphtherla antitoxine are given.

Patsy the peddler's down the street

"Yes, mamma, know, but we all want

GA Light in a Dark Place."

S. was cashier of the bank in one of
the Oldest New England towns. He
was an active member of the village
church and enjoyed the confidence of
the community. G. was a retired sea
captain, jolly, rather given to profanity,
on occasions of excitement said to be
cloud mouthed," but generally re-
spected because OF his many noble
characteristics.
C.'s presence in missionary prayer
meeting one Sunday evening attracted
attention, as he seldom entered the
church except on funeral occasions.
He was the earliest visitor at the bank
on Monday morning. The president of
the band said:
"Captain, saw you in church last
evening, and l hope you enjoyed the
services"
Eyes, did, replied c., "but
liked SIS prayer the best. He prayed
that he might be light in dark place,
and his name lights up five of the worst
hell-holes in this town
This rugged statement fell on the
ears of S., and he exclaimed with great
emphasis, Captain c., what do you
meanP"
81 mean" said c., "that in each of
the five places licensed to sell intoxi-
eating liquors your name is posted up,
giving men authority to ruin homes
and make drunkards and paupers."
"But," replied S., as town clerk,
the law requires me to do it, and can't
help it,"
"You are not obliged to do it," said
the captain; land, as bad as am, 1
wouldn't do it,"
The statutes were examined and
they read: Licenses for the sale of
intoxicating liquors Gas by law pro-
vided) may be granted by the town
council of any town in the state, and
the town clerk, or some member whom
the council may appoint, may sign the
same"
81 see your point" said S.; 81
thought it my duty to do it as town
clerk, but pll never sign another Ii
cense."
At the first meeting of the town
council in the ensuing year the five IL
censes were granted again, but the
council we're surprised to hear the town
clerk ask, "Who is TO sign these IL
censes?"
"You are, OF COURSE" replied the
president.
~ shall not sign another license" S.
replied.
The council were COMPOUNDED, but
proceeded by vote to instruct their
president to do it. He refused to sign
them, and they authorized two others
TO do it, and received fiat refusal from
them. At an adjourned meeting two
weeks later it was found that no men,
Der of the council would consent to al.
low his name to Slight up the dark
places" that they had given the right
TO exist.
A vote to legalize crime, an official
public act, building rented for un'
holy uses, might not reflect credit upon
many names that are held in repute
among the people, if properly labeled

OUR BOYS And GIRLS.
The Quest.

There was once restless boy
Who dwelt in home by the sea,
Where the water danced for Joy
And the wind was glad and free;
But he said, " Good mother, On let me go;
For the dullest place in the world, know,
Is this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple tree.
Twill travel east and west
The loveliest homes I'll see;
And when I've found the best.
Dear mother, I'll come for thee.
I'll come for thee In year and day,
And Joyfully then wen haste away
From this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple tree"
SO he travelled here and there,
But never content was he;
Though he saw in lands most fair
The costiest homes there be.
He something missed from the sea or sky,
Till he turned again, with wistful sigh,
To the little brown house,
The old brown house,
Under the apple tree.
Then the mother saw and smiled,
While her heart grew glad and free.
Hast thou chosen home, my child2
All where shall we dwel?" quoth she.
And he said, Sweet mother, from east to west,
The loveliest home, and the dearest and best,
is a little brown house.
An old brown house,
Under an apple tree"

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
Stronger for the Pain,

Life Ia full of broken measures,
objects unattained;
Sorrows intertwined with pleasures,
Losses Of our costliest treasures,
Ere the heights be gained.
Ever y soul has aspiration
Still unsatished;
Memories that wake vibration
OF the heart In quick pulsation,
At the gifts denied.
We are better for the longing,
Stronger for the pain;
Souls at ease are nature wronglng;
Through the narrowed soul come thronging
Seeds, In sun and raini
Broken measures, fine completeness
In the perfect whole;
Life is but a day in heetness,
Richer in all strength and sweetness
Grows the striving soul. Anon.
