TheBoywho Abbreviated.
The other day a forward boy of four-
teen came home from school, and said
to his mother ; - -
" Is dinner ready ?"
Not yet, my dear," said mamma.
" Then, why in the n. o. g." (name of
goodness) isn't it ?"
" What do you mean, Tom ?" said
mamma staring.
" Mean ?" said the boy, " why, that
you'd better 1. a." (look sharp),
Mamma stared at the hopeful youth
very hard, and said nothing ; but when
his father came home to dinner, she
quietly informed him that Master Tom-
my was picking up slang.
" Slang, eh ? Picking up slang, is he ?
Oh,lvery well; Pll have atalkwith him.
—Tom," he said, calling the boy, "where
did you go last night ?"
" Only down to the c. f. for a while."
" Only down to the c. ;f,, eh? Well,
and what's the c. f.?"
" Cricket field, pa."
" Oh," said his father, looking ai, him
from one corner of his eyes. ' Pray
what's that you've got in your pocket ?"
" Only an m. p., pa."
" Only an m. p., eh ? So you. carry
members of Parliament about with
you, eh ?"
"No, no," said the boy, laughing. "M.
p., meerschaum pipe. I have g. t. h."
(got the habit) " of abbreviating my
words."
" So I see," said his father quietly—
" strong. Very well, my son," he con-
tinued, rising, you will p. a. m. to the
back bedroom."
" What say, pa ?" said the boy.
" You will p. a. m.—please accom-
pany me—to the back bedroom."
They went ; and there, Master Tom
being denuded of his jacket, his father `
remonstrated with him by means of a
penny ,cane, with the result that Tom
exercised a vast amount of ingenuity in
in the way in which he displayed his
et`aaticity, bounding about in all direc-
tions, with a vigor that made his father
smile.
When the remonstrance had ceased
Tom's father said to him, " Now, sir, d. •
1. m." (don't let me) hear any more of
your slang, nor yet catch you smoking.
again for seven years. Do you hear ?"
" Y. f." (yes father), said Tom.
" Oh," he roared, as there was a fresh
cut from the cane.
" I say, sir, don't let me hear any more
of y. s." (your slang). " Don't you hear
sir ?"
" Yes, father, not a. b. w." (another-
blessed, word), sighed the boy, as, being
left alone, he sat down to w. h. t. a.
)wipe his tears away.
How Johnnie Made 'em Spring.
She knows but very little, and in little aro we one;
The beauty rare that more than hid the great defect
is gone:
MS parvenue relations now deride my homely wife,
And pity me that I am tiedto such a clod for life.
1'mow there is o, difference at reception and levee
The brightest, wittiest' and most famed of women

Andoverywhere'hold ray place among the greatest
men
And sometimes sigh, with Whittier's judge, "Alas !
• it might have been."
When they all crowd around me, stately dames and
brilliant belles,
And yield to me the homage thatall great success
compels ;
Discussing art and state-eraft, and literature as
well,
From Homer down to Thackeray, and Swedenborg
on "Heil,'•
I can't forget that from these streams my wife has
never quaffed.
Has never with Ophelia wept, nor with Jack Fal-
staff laughed;
Of authors,actors, artists—why, she hardly knows
the names ;
She slept while I was speaking on the Alabama
claims.
I eaii('t forget—just at this point another form ap-
pears—
The I wedded as she was before my prosperous
years;
I travel o'er the dreary road wo travelled aide by
nide,
And wonder what my share world bo if justice
should. divide.
She had four hundred dollars left her from the old
estate,
On that we married, and thus poorly armored, faded
our fate.
I wrestled with my books ;; her task was harder far
than mine
'Tway how to make two hundred dollars do the
work of nine. -
At last I was admitted ; then I had my legal lore,
Anomie with a stove and desk, of books perhaps a
score ;
She had her beauty and her youth and soma house-
wifely skill,
And low forme, and faith in me, and back of that
a

I had no friends behind me—no infineneo to aid;

Now,who, thought I,will have the moral
courage to face sneers and derision, or
jokes, and kneel before he begins his
day's work or lays his head upon his

heard again. ' Men who wish to say
their prayers, one step to the rear. Si-.

utes wase the time allowed, and by that
time all the men had 'finished their
petitions to their Heavenly Father, and
had risen to their feet resuming their
places in the ranks. I was most agree-
ably surprised at seeing so many. I
think, on an average, there was nearly
one-fifth of the whole. I never once
heard a remark from the most hardened

Johnny Sanderson received another
terrible scare on Christmas Day, and
for a few minutes the respectable house
of Sanderson tottered on the verge of a
sadand premature mein. The day be-
fore Johnny wanted to go fishing, and as
he could not get money to bur hooks he
made about a dozen by bending large
pins something like the required shape.
Christmas forenoon he had them in the
dining room, and hearing some' boy
whistling in the shrill way all boys un-
derstand, he rushed out, leaving his pin
hooks lying on the tables and on the
chairs, Johnny never gave another
thought to them until 2 o'clock, when
the family including Miss Giggings and
the Minister and Elder Dalton and wife
cordially invited guests were about to
take their seats to an elegant dinner.
Sit right down here," said Mrs. San-
derson, to Miss Giggings.
" 0 -u -c -h !" exclaimed the latter lady
in avoice of agony,as she rose from her
seat, and carefully settled back again.
" Parson, take this seat ; Brother Dal-
ton, Sister Dalton, this way," and Mr.
Sanderson beamed with the noble Chris-
tian
hris-tian grace—hospitality.
" My suds !" suddenly exclaimed that
worthy parson, in stentorian tones that
fairly shook the windows. -
Tmmortal Zachariah 1" echoed burly
Deacon Dalton ;, and Mr. Sanderson,
startled at such an unusual exhibition.,
actually gasped, as he dropped like a
pile-driver into his chair.
"Pull 'em out !" he at once howled,
as he leaped,with-_starting eye-balls,half
across the room.
An immediate investigation divulged
the trouble, and quiet and good humor
were restored. The only remark made
after Johnny made his explanation was
by the parson, who, as he eyed Johnny
sharply, quietly said :
" These pins are bent in a very peculiar
shape for fish hooks."
.Prison Etiquette.
" Five Years' Penal Servitude " isthe
title of a book recently pub1ished inLon-
don, and wiitteri by " one who endured
it." The London Times says :
" Two very remarkable pieces of in-
formation as to life in a prison come out
in this volume, illustrating the incon-
sistency of human nature, and showing
that the public feeling, if it may be so
termed, in a convict prison may in some
features, be as high as in the best order-
ed community. One is that it is not eti-
quette anhong prisoners to ask a man
what he is " in for." If a man likes to
be communicative on the subject of his
- own affairs that? is another thing ; . but,
until he is no questions are to be asked.
It appears to us that this custom shows
a delicacy of feeling and a respect for
those who may -.feel repentance and
shame for their crimes which few would
have expected to find among criminals,
and. must certainly indicate that
those who lay " down and those
who follow suoh " a rule of con-
duct cannot be altogether and entire -

Madam Catherine Ma'gerka, of Vienna,
who accompanied her "husband, one of
the Austrian Commissioners to the
Philadelphia Ex.hibitiop, has just pub-
lished an entertaining account of her
journey. She says she much admires
American women, for they are hand-
some, but she does net altogether ap-
prove .of their customs and habits. They
dressed richly, those !whom she saw,
but were too fond of showy ornaments.
She was pleased with the, hair -dressing,
especially of young ladies, which was
more simple, natural; and becoming
than that of the Vienna ladies. She
saw much splendor and elegance in
Philadelphia and elsewhere, and went
home with the impression that to many
women, the toilette was the sun around
which their existence turned, for whom
no other stars had radiance but dia-
monds and pearls, and. to whom there
was no ambition higher than to,be ad-
mired.
Mark Twain Apologizes.
Mark Twain is characteristic, even in
apology. His speech as a droll at the
Whittier banquet was unfortunate, and
none felt it more so than the humorist
himself, but his apology to" the great
lights of our literatur , to Longfellow,
and Whittier, and mmerson, and
'ect and forlorn,
utterly a�
Holmes, is so net y .) ,
that all will forgive Mark from the bot-
tom of their hearts, and particularly
those whom ho carica ured. We have
not the text of his let er at hand, but
understand that he' said to them
in substance that he was a fool,
and that he knew it, but that
God made him a fool, that he was God's
fool and couldn't help himself, and that
they ought to have a tele ."compassion
on hum for God's sake, if not for his own.
If there is any apo ogy - in existence
which is more searching than this, we
should like to know where it is to be
found.—Boston 11erall.
