FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
The NOBODY MAN.

I walked one day, a long, long way,
Down to Topsy-Turvy Town,
Where it's day all night, and it's night all
day
In the Land of Upside Down.
And who do you think was walking round?
Imagine 1t II you can:
In the land of Upside Down I found
The Nobody Man!
His head was bowed, and he groaned aloud
with the burden that he bore:
Mlsdeeds and mishaps, wonderful crowd
"And why are you so heavily tasked
On such an unequal plan?"
As sat on a wayside seat, asked
The Nobody Man.
He sat him nigh with doleful sigh,
And he said: "It needs must be;
What Nobody does at home so SLY
Is shouldered here by me.
The slips and mishaps that are, soon or
late,
Denied by the careless clan,
In the Land of Upside Down all weight
The Nobody Man"
He passed along with doleful song,
This ovsrburdened wight,
And, bowed with the weight of other folks
wrong,
He hobbled out of sight;
And don't understand how 1t all can be,
Or why he should bear this ban,
But-well, twas q wonderful thing to see
The Nobody Man!

Gen. Lew Wallace related ain incident
which shows to a remarkable extent
the wonderful sagacity and memory of
blackbirds.
"At my home over in Charlottesville"
said the general, 1--WE have a large num-
Der of tall trees on the lawn, and in the
course of time these trees became the
roosting place at certain times of the
year for hundreds of thousands of
blackbirds. They came in great, black
clouds, and in spite of all could do
they refused to leave. OF course, they
were great nuisance, and was in de-
spair as to some means of getting clear
of them. 1 stood for days with my gun
firing into them of an evening and kill
ing hundreds of them, but the rest did
not seem to be sufficiently struck by
fear or grief to want to part company
with me and my hospitality. l then
devised a new scheme.
Procuring a number of Roman can
dies one evening l lighted them one by
one after dark, when the boughs of the
trees were bent low with the weight of
the croaking birds, and l poured the
candles into the tops of the trees at a
great rate. The sudden innovation
startled the birds as nothing had ever
done before, and they became panic

read on parade:
Third Sergeant Henry T. Garfield
is hereby appointed first sergeant, and

jngly."
1t was surprise to the sergeant. He
found his new duties laborious. Few
men in a regiment have more to do than
first sergeant. He felt the need in
his new position of more arithmetic
than he possessed; he sent for text
book, and studied it faithfully, making
fine progress. This gave him an ap.
petite for study, and other books were
sent for and mastered.
Thus his long war service went on.
In course of time he commanded the
company, and he came home at the
end of the war not only with the brevet
rank of major, but with much better
education than he had gone in with,
and character developed in strength
and resources. Faithful service, joined
with laudable ambition and willing.

man of him."
There is just as much chance for n
man to rise in this way in peace as in
war. Maj. Garfield was not Favored
of fortune" The superiors who ad-
vanced him did not do it for his sake.
They were looking for men to do the
work under them in faithful and
painstaking, efficient way, and they
were the men for them. The same rule
prevails in business and the industries
How happy the country would be if it
always prevailed in the public service!

THE next evening, however, the

But what do you think those birds
did? My dividing fence runs between

on the property of my neighbor, which

the birds were driven from my lot they

as effectually as though they were on
fire. The great clouds of birds each
morning and evening fly directly over
my trees, going and coming, but not a
bird settles upon a tree that is on my
side of the dividing fence.
Another strange thing is that if any
one of an evening stands in my lawn
and makes slight noise, as slapping
his hands, there will be the widest COM
motion among the birds in the neigh
boring trees. They become restless
and almost panic-stricken. If, however,
the same person crosses the fence and
stands directly under them and makes
twice as much noise, they pay no atten-

shoot up into them without driving
