FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A NURSERY SONG.

Oh, Peterkin Pout and Gregory Grout,
And Two little COLLINS black
Full oft from my house I've driven them
out,
But somehow they still come back.
They Chamber up to the baby's mouth,
And pull the corners down;
They perch aloft on the baby's brow,
And twist it into frown.
And one says "Shall"' and t'other says
" Shan't!"
And one says Must" and t'other says
Can't
Oh, Peterkin Pout and Gregory Grout,
l pray you, now, from my house keep out!
But Samuel Smile and Lemuel Laugh
Are two little fairies light;
They're always ready for fun and chaff,
And sunshine is their delight.
And when they creep into baby's eyes,
Why, there the sunbeams are.
And when they peep through her rosy lips,
Her laughter rings near and far.
And one says PLEASED" and t'other says
dol"
And both together say: II love you"'
50, Lemuel Laugh and Samuel Smile,
Come in, my dears, and tarry awhile!

NEW OUTDOOR GAME.
English Children Like to Play 1t In ths
DAYS of Early Spring.


Tip and run is a game our English
cousins are just learning-both boys
and girls. 1t resembles cricket, so some
one says, as a caricature resembles its
original.
1t is a game to play early in the
spring, before cricket or tennis can be
thought of, and it has this advantage
over golf, that it can be played on
lawns or garden plots without damage
to the turf.
Tip and run involves much exercise
of rather severe kind.
This is the manner of it: The fair
guardian of the wicket, armed with a
bat or even a racket, takes her stand,
and as soon as she has hit the
bowler's ball, is bound to run as fast as
she can between the wickets, as failure
to hit or to run involves discontinue
and an immediate successor at the bat.
The score mounts up rapidly, as an
expert batswoman hits each time and
flies to and fro like ball herself, until
she can be dislodged by three successive
failures to hit her ball. The other
players field out, with a success gener-
ally less than more. Bowling usually
taxes the skill of fair players more than
batting. They do not, as a rule, bowl
with the mechanical skill which marks
the masculine player.
Eleven is the proper number for each
team to tip and run; when men are per-
mitted to reinforce the eleven, they play
left-handed or bat with broomsticbs
But, even thus handicapped, they often
seem to be more than a match for their
fair antagonists, though there be
elevens, and there are those, who car
well hold their own upon the leve
green, and are afraid of no mans prov
ess and understand all the intricacies
Of the game.
The maiden possessed of Atalanta's
speed and grace will doubtless prove tn,
prize player at tip and run, but every
girl who INDUCES in the game will fine
herself the better and the roster for the
fresh air, sunshine and exercise it gives
her.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Dore showed wonderful talent TO"

THE ALPINE VULTURE.
Bird That Has a Decided Preference for
Human Prey.


In the canton of Trial a woman was liv-
ing in 1854 who had been carried off by
lammergeier, or Alpine vulture, when
baby. At Hundwcl, in the canton of
Appenzell, n child was carried off in
SIGHT of parents On the Silberalp q
vulture attacked little boy who was
watching sheep, seated on a rock, and
had time to knock him over the edge Of
the cliff before the shepherds could
drive the bird away. AT Murren, above
the valley of Lauterbrunnen, a vulturc
carried an infant to an inaccessible rock
opposite the village and devoured it.
But the most striking instance of tile
child-devOuring tendency of these birds
occurred in the Bernese Overland. A
child three years old, called Anne Eur
buchen, was taken up to the high Alp
at haymalIng time and left asleep
while the father fetched a load of hay
He returned to find the child gone. At
the TIES sans ch hme wan aae9eadhnf Re aaSa5na sailed
tain by a rough path when he heard a
child cry. At the same time he saw
a lammergeier raise and sail away.
Running up to the place he found the
little girl, unhurt except for wounds
in the arm and left hand, where the
bird had clutched her. She had lost
her socks, shoes and cap while being
transported by the bird, the distance
traversed being about $50 yards. The
facts were all entered in the parish
| archives of the VILLAGE of Hakeren and
the girl, who lived to be an old woman
was always known as "Geier-Anni."-
| London Spectator.
