Made a Man of Him.

An inspiring anecdote Of the crisis in
young mans life is related by an ex-
change:
Nothing better could happen to the
young man who has the right kind of
grit, than to be thrown on the world
aud his own resources. A well-to-do
judge once gave his son thousand dol
lars. AID told him to go college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
of the first year. his money all gone. and
with several extravaganza habits. At
the close OF vacation the Judge said to
his son. We'll, William, are you going to
college this year?'-I have no money
father.'-'But l gave you a thousand
dollars to graduate OMIT is all gone,
father.'-Very we'll, my son; it is all l
could give you; you can't stay here.
You must now pay your own way in the
world A new light broke upon the
vision of the young man. He accom-.
modated himself to the situation, again
left home. made his way through college,
graduated at the head of his class.
studied law, became Governor of the
State of New York. entered the cabinet
of the president of the United States,
and has 10 de record that will not

William H. Seward"

"Oh, yes" said Rob; 81 will be a
morning-glory." He had heard his
mamma call his baby sister her little
morning-glory, as she lay cooling to
herself in her crib, and thought it
was very sweet name.
"Well," said mamma, "the morn
g-glories have all gone to sleep
by this time, so you must come
and stand by me, and go to sleep,
too"
Rob went to her, and stood very
still to show he was on a stem
Mamma put his arm through hers,
because that flower always put out
little runners to hold on by. Then
she told him how it twisted itself up
when its early bedtime comes, and
Rob shut his eyes SO tight and puck
cred up his lips SO close that his little
face was as red as a rose.
Just then nurse came into the room
with bowl of bread and milk; and
mamma said, "Shall l sprinkle my
flower with water, or shall l give my
little boy his support"
ooh; I'll eat my SUPPER" said Rob.
SID rather you'd be my mamma than
anybody else"
So he sat in his mammals lap Will
he ate his bread and milk; and she
told him he was her little robin.
And then she washed his face and
hands, and called him her little kit
ten, because the mother cat always
washes her kittens.
And, when she put on his night
gown, she said he was her little
flower, and wore white dress like
other flowers.
And then she kissed him, and said,
"My darling little boy;' and that
was the best of all.
When he had said, "Now l lay me"
and the prayer mamma made for
him, he asked if he might say one
more. Mamma smiled, "Yes;" and
he said:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank
you for making me little boy"
Then he shut his eyes, and in two
minutes he didn't know whether he
was a bird, or boy or a kitten or
morning-glory. Christian Register.

History Repeats Itself.

The Tribunes of ancient Rome repre-
sented the common people. The patric-
ians, senate, nobility, found oppression
and unjust exercise of power limited and
checked by the Tribunes. ~ appeal to
the Tribunes'' was a cry that commanded
respect, opposed the hand of violence,
and threw wall of protection around the
humblest citizen. Hoods Sarsaparilla
represents right and justice, an honest
medicine, a powerful friend of the people.
This preparation stands between fraud
and oppression, as represented by the host
of worth less, injurious medicines. and the
army of the common people. "Iappeal to
Hood s Sarsaparilla for relief" is the cry
of suffering humanity, and the answer is
as prompt and reliable as when the Trib-
une answered in his power, $500 years
ago.

JACK RABBITS WINTER SUIT.

Little Jack Rabbit is rather a dude.
He's not at all content to wear his sum-
msr clothes all the year round-oh.
dear me, no! He must have something
quite new and fine to put on when the
snowfakes begin to fly and the brown
leaves and brown earth are tucked up
under their winter bed-quilt.
Some beautiful frosty morning he pops
his head out of his burrow and takes a
look at the weather and shifts the keen
air. Yes. it is high time to be thinking
about winter suit. Tomorrow the snow
may be melting on hisIlong ears and
on his soft little furry back. No time
to be lost! The other members of
the Rabbit family must mot get ahead
of him.
So away goes little Jack Rabbit to his
tailor, or. rather. tailoress. Her name
is Dame Nature, and sshe is famous far
and wide for her perfect work. She
never has to haste and try on and let
out and take in. The very first time
she puts on suit it fits, without a
wrinkle or quicker. If she we're not a
very modest lady indeed. she would hang
out her sign on the oak trees and alder
blshes-"Dame Nature, Dressmaker and
Tailoress. Good fits warranted"
She's wise woman. too. and always
advises her customers to use just the
most becoming and suitable colors
Jack Rabbit takes er,,advice thankfully
enough. You see, it has often and often
saved his life, besides quite satisfying his
fastidious taste. The pretty winter suit
is soon fitted-made OF warm, furry goods
almost as white a. the snow, not quite.
The map is much longer than that of
the worn-out summer clothes, to keep
little Jack Rabbits bones warm.
Would you like to know why Dame
Nature always advises white suit for
his winter wearing and brown one for
summer color of dry leaves and
brush and tree trunks? Why, you see,
Jack Rabbit. poor little fellow, has big
enemy who goes about with a gun and
longs to take him home. limp and life
less over his shoulder, to boil in the pot
for dinner. But the little brown suit is
so much like the trunks of the trees and
the underbrush, in summer, and the
white suit 80 like the snow, in winter,
that Jack Rabbit can keep very still and
not attract the big enemy's attention.
That is how kind hearted Dame Nature
saves his life go often with her wise ad-
vice. No wonder Jack Rabbit patronizes
her always when he wants a new suit of
clothes.-Zion's Herald.

WINTER EVENING AMUSEMENT

One OF the pleasantest ways OF spend
ing a winter evening is in playing cha
rades. A little keen wit, and slight
talent for acting. will make this one of
the most agreeable of amusements. In
selecting words to be played it must be
borne in mind that true charade is,
first of all, a pun. That is to say, your
word must be capable of being divided
into syllables. upon which puns may be
made, or it must have that quality as
whole, and it is the pun which must be
acted. To make this clear | will illus
trate it.
Suppose that you wish to play the
word paradox. the pun is pair of docs;
aud it would bs played by presenting to
your audience couple of physicians
impersonated by your best actors. You
may introduce any by play between your
doctors which you wish. Set your peo-
pie to guessing by announcing that the
word is a common noun Of three sylla-
bles. If the word is difficult one to
guess, it is better to give its definition
also.
A good word for a charade is the word
charade itself. l recently saw it played
with great success. AS played. it was,
of course shay raid. The players built
SHAY" with chairs and the dining
table, and rode merrily thereon to the
~ he ka
second syllable was played separately,
and was done by the players rushing in
upon us, their unsuspecting listeners,
and carrying off some of our number by
sheer force.
Proper nouns often make good cha
rades. One of the best. perhaps is Full
ton. This may be acted in very funny
way by given an exhibition of human
curiosities. your curiosities consisting
of fat people. 1t heightens the absurdity
to select the thinnest people present for
your curiosities. Place the curiosities
in a row, as in museum, and after call
ing attention to their remarkable weight,
as il to prove your statements. send for
scales and weigh each one. You should
give to each some extremely extrava
CANT weight, beginning at. say, four hun
dred and fifteen pounds, and gradually
increasing your figures until the COM
bined weight Of your curiosities reach
2,240 pounds. or one full ton.
Several good charades nay be made
from the names of States. II you have in
your company two women whose names
are Louisa and Anna, you can act Louis
lana by simply exhibiting the two, add
ing bit of by play. perhaps, to disguise
it.
Titles OF books. societies, plays. etc..
may be used as charades. l have seen
"Royal Arcanum" played very success
fully. The title suggests royal, are and
cane EN-. 1t was played thus: A throne
was prepared, and king sat on it with
a wand. which was really cane. in his
hand. He was surrounded by attendants.
and at given signal. they all shouted
the syllable "are." when the monarch
used his cane freely on their backs, and
all ran bowling away. In playing cha
rades. it is we'll for all present to divide
into rival camps. playing alternately.
The following are good words for char
AIDES. and your own ingenuity will sug-
gest ways Of playing them: Adherent.

give himsome oats. Prince is his
rocking-korse, and the stable is the
corner between the rocking-chair and
the south window.
Every night Bob ties Prince to the
chair, and holds saucer of bird seed
under his nose until he has eaten as
much supper as rocking-horse
ought to eat. 1t doesn't take long,
and he likes to feed his pony, but he
knows his bread and milk are ready
by that time, and his bedtime has
come. That is why he said, "Oh,

"Why, what should L do if | hadn't
any little boyi" said mamma; "and
what would you do if you hadn't any
little bedi"
Rob thought a minute, and then
said: "If / werea little bird, shouldn't
want one. Oh, mamma may play |
am bird?"
His mamma said, "Yes; you may
be a robin" So he began to hop
about on the floor, tapping his arms
for wings. When he was tired of
doing that, she told him to stand on
one foot and PIT his head down on
one side and go to sleep.
"Why, mamma" he said, 81 can't
sleep in that way. Besides | am
hungry"
"Are you9" said his mamma. "Well
here are some crumbs left from a
cookie my little boy had. You may
eat them; but if you are robin you
must sleep as robins do"
Rob stood on one foot for two min.
utes. He thought it was an hour, he
was 50 tired; and then he said he
would rather be cat, because he
could lie down. His mamma poured
some milk into saucer, and put it
on the floor, and said, "Come, Kitty.
Kitty" but he couldn't drink it as
pussy did, and he tipped it over be-
fore he had tasted drop. Then he
lay down on the rug before the fire.
He tried to curl himself up in little
ball; but he bumped his head, and
he couldn't lie still and purr, though
he tried very hard.
In a few minutes he jumped up,
and said, Mamma, don't want to
be little boy yet. What else can
bel" Mamma smiled and said, do
you want to be foweri"

A GAME OF TAG.

A grasshopper once had game of tag
With some crickets that lived near by,
When he stubbed his toe, and over he
went
In the twinkling of an eye.
Then the crickets leaned up against a
fence,
And laughed till theil sides we've sore
But the grasshopper said, ''You are laugh
ing at me,
And I sha INT play any more
So off he went, though he wanted to stay,
For he was not hurt by his fall;
And the gay little crickets went on with
the game,
And never missed him at all
A bright-eyed squirrel called out as he
passed,
Swinging from a tree by his toes,
what foolish fellow that grasshopper
is!
Why, he's bit off his own little nose.n

THE AMERICAN DAISY.
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.


Daisy, that decks the roadside and the
fields
With snow and gold through all the
summer days,
Bend golden eyes upon the bard who
yields
To you his song of praise.
Old England claims the Rose as queen of
flowers,
Scotland the Thistle proudly holds to
view,
And ireland boasts her Shamrock you
are ours,
Type of our people you.
Killed by the ploughshare, you rise again
In the vexed furrow mid the growing
You seek for glimpses of the sun, and
then
Salute the early morn.
Fallow or cultured as may be the land,
Barren or fertile, you would have it all /;
You hold the ground that spreads on
every hand
AS SUBJECT TO your tnfall.
The cardinal flowers that DER the brook
side blaze
Tremble at your approach; they know
their fate:
They feel the ending of their pleasant
days
While you remain sedate.
Strong, arrogant, and lovely you unfold,
Needing nor wind, nor storm, nor sun,
nor rain,
And with waving sea of white and gold
You ornament the plain.
Adversely can neither check nor kill;
O'erthrown, you bid hundred more
arise,
Whose earnest and indomitable will
Beams from their golden eyes.
You march with civilization; when the
Has felled the mighty forest, you ap-
pear;
You follow closely on the settlers tracks,
The toiling ones to cheer.
Wind bent, you are not broken by the
storm,
Erect as ever when the gale has past;
Your rugged rayed simplicity of form
Survives the bowling blast
Give you foothold and the ground you
fill;
They cannot stay your progress though
they strive;
When parching drought brings other
plants to i'll,
You live and bloom and thrive.
Let those who will sing praises of some
flower,
Making its beauty and its sweets the
theme;
But, semblance of our country's growth
and power,
The Daisy stands supreme.
