Too sweet he is," I argued, " for any human name" ; But husband told me, laughing, "Every mother -thinks the game." I asked myself this morning, Idle husband sat near by, As 1 was mixing pastry for 'niece and _pumpkin ,PLC,_e Ca» I be Harry's mother? and My thoughts along the track Of years now gone forever went wildly wander- ing back. saw the pink -flushed darling in his • broidered baby dress— Nor years nor pain and trouble have dinuned his loveliness. I saw myself a-comiting his dimples o'er and o'er And smiling, while I seemed to see hhu kicking on the floor. F —"To -morrow the public will be shaved gratuitously." Of course, it is always to -morrow. —"Now, can you guess my age, niajor ?" Gallant Major : "No, I can't; bet you don't look it." - —"No' ' said Brown to Robinson with a sigh. "I haven't got change for a five;.but I should like to have'a five for a change." —There are two reasons why some people don't mind, their own business. -One is that they haven't any business, and the other is that they haven't any mind. —Music teacher—" Your daughter, _Mrs. Jones, has real musical_ talent. She ought to have a thorough training." Mrs. Jones—"That's just what I was telling Mr. Jones to -day, and we agreed . to hire a competent teaeher for her after she has finished her next quarter • with you." eat, --An ornamental knob has '"been de- vised for attaehment to a lady's belt, so that men can, " swing partners" with- out that offensive familiarity which -has thrown:a gloom over the ft stive dance.

Mabel—" -Oh, no, we shouldn't see anybody." Mrs. Masham—" Shall we have it up behind then ?" Mabel— " Oh, that would be still worse, for no- body could see us." —" There is a loquacity -which tells nothing," sneeringly said a city man to his chattering wife. The.next night rite returned from the lodge, laid his coat on the bed, put his boots on the bureau, and flung himself over the back • of a chair ; and his wife quietly remarked, • " tliere is a silence which tells much." ---A tourist on Sabbath, travelling in the North of Scotland in the good old Calvinistic days, came across an old ruined castle. Meeting a Highladtd_ werthy, he aske& him the name of the castle. Donald, with a dignified look, answereel—‘` Whatna, question's that to be spelling on the SaWbath_day ?" • ---A maiden lady, s ispeaing her fe- male servant was repIing her beau upon fhe eolal mutton of the larder, called Betty, and inquired whether she did not hear some one speaking with her down stairs. Oh, no, ma'am," replied the girl, "it is only me singing a ,psalra !" " You Mau amuse yourself, Betty," re- plied the maiden, " with psalms, but lot's have no hims, Betty. I have a g'reat objection to hims."' - Betty curtsi- ed. withdrew, and took the hint. ----A gentleman, having some Inisiness with Charles Lamb, opened the little low pew -door of the inclbsure of the India House which contained his desk. Being determined to introduce himself, the gentleman walked up to him, and , Long curls adown his shoulders, a boy in blouse and kilt •; I sow him with his playmates, while I sang a 11ightsome lilt, My 'happy heart o"erflowing. One day he pulled 'a curl, And begged to have them cut becatise they made hhulike a girl. •i.=,1, Hielittlep1ajded petticoat became at last a trial, And curls and skirts were vetoed, for there' could be no denial; And one day from the tailor's, after a long dis- pute, He stood before me smiling -in a knickerbocker suit. tYhr, wife, what are you doing?" I started in alarm. The accents, harsh and sudden, dissolved the dream-like charm. I had mixed the meat and pumpkin, and highly spiced the whole, And poured the cream and raisins into the pastry bowl! 1 laeghed and cried together. "What is the use !" I said. "1 know what ails you, mother !" he spokewith drooping- head. "'Tis bard for ifs at Christmas; but, dear, we must not yield,"— Our boy was shot'nt Christmas, on a Southern battle -field. We sat there close together,—no matter how time sped; Recalling scenes long vanished, and talking of our dead : Of Harry, little Harry, and of that strange, sad day, When he kissed us both at parting, and led his men away. For Harry was a captain,—our captain; through our tears We smiled in pride and pleasure, and strove to hide our fears, Wild tales of gallant daring were always his desire, And -he used to read -of battles till his boyish eyes flashed fire. We went'hoine front the parting,—how dull the fireside seemed! Where Harry, Captain_ Harry, had worked and talked and dreamed. He had his wish,—adventure,—a patriot's noble aim ; And maybe in the future a hero's glorious name, Before the next sad Christmas our captain lay at rest; • A Southern summer's grasses had bloomed above hits breast. And soon the war was over, returned the patriot band; And ours was but one sorrow of all that filled the land., • Z;ow long the land has prosPered, the land he died to Save; Full twenty years the grasses have ripened on his grave; And other boys sit reading of the battle where he felt, And their hearts beat with emotion at the tale the pages tell. ehre; Alas, alai, our Harry' We tell it all again, The old pathetic story is never told in vain: Our hearts grow sefter, sweeter as we the past recall, And look b ek twenty summers, to that sad and lonesoMe fall. And w• e Saly, while hands clasp closely, " The worlel i hard and real; Our Captaiji stands forever in the light of the ideal, A brave and joyous figure,' all ready for the fray, We might have sadder memories when we keep Our Christmas Day!" —Mas. 31.

THE HURON EXT:13 )/MINNIMIKIIIIIIIMM111111111 ItOR 3 A Memory Test. At a tavern meeting one bight, when Macklin was present, the conversation turned upon the employment of memory in connection with oratory. Macklin took occasion to say that he had brought his memory to such perfection that he could repeat anything after once hearing it or ereading it. A few minutes after- wards, Foote, who was also present, handed Macklin a paper containing the fellowing sentences, with a request that he would read them, and then repeat them from memory :—"So she Went into the garden to cut a cabbage,leaftto make an apple-pie, and at the same time a great she -bear coming up the street pops its head into the shop. What.! norsoap ? So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber, and there were present the Picanienies.and the Jobillies and -the Garynliea, and the Grand Pan - j andrum himself , with the little reund but- ton a,t top,and they all fell to playing the game of catch -as -catch -can till the gun- powder ran out of the heels1 of their boots." Macklin admitted thp,t he had the worst of the joke. A Few of Josh Billings' Epigrams. • . 1 I had • rather undertake to be two good doves than one decent serpent. To learn your offspring to steal, make them beg hard for all you give them. Piety is like bans: it seems to do best on poor soil. A broken reputation is like a broken vase: it may be mended, but always shows where the crack was. If you can't trust a man ler the full amount, let him skip. This trying to get an average on honesty has always been a failure. • There ism() treachery in silence—silence is a hard argument to beat. Don't mistake habits for character. The men of tile most character have the fewest habits. . 1 The man who is thow2ghly polite is two-thirds of a Christian anyhow. Flattery is like cologne water,—to be smelt of, not swallowed. I have noticed that the m n who is always telling what he will do when he gets there, never gets there. Death mows strangely, and round fall the daisy and grass, and alone, snarling, stands the coarse • thistle, left for what? Death can't tell, for God only knows. , When a man has a great deal to say, he can say it in a Very few words, A Gallant Thrush. A young Highlander, having set a horse -hair noose in the woods, was de- lighted one morning to find a female song thrush entangled therein. He carried home his prize,put it into a roomy _open - braided basket, secured' the lid with much string and many knots, and then hung the extemporized cage upon a nail near the open window. In the after- noon the parish minister was called in by the boy's mother, who wished him to persuade her son to set ' the captive free. While the clergyman was examin- ing the bird through the basket, his attention was called to another thrush perched on a branch opposite the win, dow. . - "Yes," exclaimed the boy, "and it followed me home all the ,way from the woods." - It was the captive's mate, which, having faithfully followed his partner to her prison, had perched himself where he might See her, and she hear the sad broken notes that chirped his grief. The clergyman hung the basket against the eave of the cottage, and the two re- tired to- see what might happen. In a' few minutes the captive whispered a chirp to her mate's complaint. His joy was unbounded. Springing to the top- most spray of the tree, he trilled out two or three exultant notes ---and then alighted on the basket -lid, through the laile in which the captive had thrust her head and neck. Then followed a touch- ing sceee. 'The male bird after billing and cooing with the captive, dressing her feathers and stroking her neck, all the while fluttering his wings,and croon- ing an undersong of encouragement, suddenly - assumed another attitude. Gathering up his wines, he erected him- self, and began to peOk and pull away ati the edges of the hole in the basket's lid. The bird's ardent affection, and his effort to release his mate,touched clergy- man. mother and boy. “n1 let the bird go !" said he ie,eir -sympathetic ,voice, as he sA* his mother wiping her eyes with her 4pron. , ' The basket Was carried to the spot where the bird had been ',snared. The . male thrush followed,sweePing occasion-. ally close past the boy carrying the. bas- ket, and cl irping abrupt- notes, as if assuring his mate that he Was still near her. n arrivingat the snare the clergy- rian began untying the niany intricate knots which secured the lid, while the male bird, perched on a hazel bough. hot six feet away, watched, silently a nd motion' ess, the process of liberation. As soon as the basket -lid *as raised the f male thrush dashed out iwith a scream f terror and joy, while the male follow - d like an rrow shot froin a bow, and oth -disappeared behind a clump of irch,trees.
