T E H RON EX-POSITOR. The Drunkard's_ Raggit Weaning broken English to hint. "Monsure, my sympathies have been frequently v hat half ye to say to die chairge ? Surely .ye canna mees comprangdin' waned see little neglected chil- that." ."1 vish an interprectire," said dren sitting on a°bench in a court room in charge of a truant officer before their the -Prisoner. "An ye need ane tam," removal to the Marcella. street 1-Xonte for pityingly remarked the bailie. "I can- na mak' oot ae half ye say, an' no no fault of theirs but that they wore the offspring of drunken parents. Some- times these little ones were sad and sor- rowful, and sometime% they were play- ful, oblivious to their surroundings, but to look on them in either e,ase touched a chord of tenderness in my heart of hearts. If there is one thing above all others in social reform it should be the enlistment of human sympathy against the baneful effects of intoxicants, if only for the curse it entails on the helpless children. Once I visited a tenement house where both the parents of a lame family of children were drunkards. °On that occa- sion I had to knock repeatedly at tlie door before obtaining admission, but at length it was stealthily opened by the mother, who Was in an intoxicated con- dition. After admitting me she seated herself on an old lounge, and as pretty a little by of three years as eyes could look apart crept behind her and threw his white dimpled arms around the wo- 4'maris neck. It was a touching scene. A very short time after that sweet waif was placed in one of our public institu-, tons as a neglected child. Over 30 years ago a tender lyric known as "The Drunkard's Itaggit Wean" became exceedingly popurar. •It was written by James Paul Crawford, a native of Katrine, Ayrshire, and attract- ed the attention of Queen Victoria. A Scotch lady has faVored me with a copy of it, -which for sympathetic tenderness, graphic portrayal, beauty and pathos, cannot fail to enlist the attention of the reader, and which is a volume in : sure if ye ken yersel—ye puir ailly .jab- bering cratur. Awa ye go, and be sure tae keep the peace till yer ship leaves, when ye can cut each ither's throats for me. But dinna kick up any mair stramashes in oor quiet toon." The Rain Came. " Had a right smart rain here in Chicago, 1 guess," remarked a pas. senger from Western Kansas. "Now, out with us we have been dying for rain. Everything dried up like codfish in a salt- barrel. Tho drouth got so bad that we were afraid we'd lose all our 'erops, an' so the religious people called a day of prayer. The churches and !school houses were thrown open, an' you never seed so many religious people in your life. Itabeats all how religious a man gas when his corn crop is in danger. Wall, we met an' prayed for rain. The minister prayed, the deacons prayed, we 11 prayed. But the oddest thing about it waa a little girl who came to church with an umbrella. What did you bring your umbrella for, sis ?' some one asked her; do you think it's going to - rain Course I do,' she replied; ain't we going to pray for it, and don't. the good Lorcl say, ask and ye shall git?' The fa,ith of that little girl touched all our hearts, I tell ye.' 'But did it really rain ?' Yer bet it did. Poured down a ' regular torrent. Couldn't be no other way after such powerful supplication.' ME DRUNKARD'S ItAGGIT WEAN. Tune—“Castles in the -Air." A wee bit raggit laddie gangs wah'rin' thro' the street, Wadin'mane- the EiTlOW his wee haeket feet, Shiverirn the mild blast, rectal' wr the pain; Wha's the puir wee catkin'? slle'e a drunkard's raggit wean. He staun's at ilka door, an' he keeks wist- fn' e'e To see the crood amen' the ftre a' lauchin' loud wi' glee ; But he daurna venture ben, though his heart be e'er sae fain, For he maunna play wi' ithet bairns, the drunk- ard's raggit wean. Oh, gee the wee bit laddie, his heart is unco fou. The sleet is blown -E. cauld, and he's droukit through and through; tfe's spierin' for his mither, an' he wun'ers whaur sh'es gane— But, oh his wither she forgets her puir wee raggit a•ean. He kens nee faither's love, and he kens nae mither's care, To soothe his wee bit sorrows, or kame his tautit hair, To- kiss him wham he weakens, or sinooth his bed at e'en, AW ohhe fears his faither's face, the drunkard's raggit wean. oh, pity the wee 'acidic :ale guileless an' sae young, The oath that tea's his faither's lip '11 settle on his thugue •, AW shall' words his mither speaks, his infant lips 'ill stain, For, oh . there's mine to guide the bairn, the drunkard's raggit wean. Then surely we micht try an' turn that sinfu mither's heart, An try to get, his father to act a faither's part, An' mak' them lea' the drunkard's cup an' never taste again, An' cherish wi' a parent's care, their pair wee rageit wean.

The court made another attempt, and adopted the common expedient of endeavoring to convey.a meaning to a foreigner by talk - pieces. He tells them to go and stud and then return to their rooms and pain what they remember. In a year's tim his pupils can paint as well from memo as any one else's pupils can ,with th originals before them," As the conversation went on I coul not help'contra.sting this training with m own. Neither in -schoul nor college ha the slightest effort ever been made t train my observation. I had takea a fair rank in even such studies as chem istry and botany, without rememberin a single experiment or knowing wh t the things looked like concerning whic 1 I recited. By means of a blind, parro like, phonographic memory, I had ofte passed almost perfect examinations. This was what Mark Twain might just- ly call "brickbat 'Culture.' I real fear, Mr. Spectator, that I shall alwa - bear at kind of grudge against the teac 1- ers of my boyhood, because they so coji tinually ignored the fact that eyes we e intended to see something besides books, and that the memory was intended to t hold aomething besides words. If, 1 stead of asking me to recite my lessm s, they had asked me to tell what I saw n the drug -store window as I came to school, or describe the house at the corner, or the hay wagon which h d been standing before it, I would not110- day feel that what little faculty of observation nature endowed me with had been lost in the eourse of sixteen years' schooling.—Spectator. . Floating Homes. "As we approach Canton" 'writes a Chinese correspondent of t'the "Home Journal," "one of the strangest sights of this strange land is the vast wilderness of boats which serve as the only homes of a floating population of more than one .hundred thousand human beings. As our steamer made its way slowly throngh the city of boats to her wharf, it seemed as if half of Canton as afloat on the water. All around us were acres on acres—yes square miles—of junks,moor- ed in blocks and squares, with long streets or canals between them ; while, darting hither and thither, were .huna &Kis on • hundreds of others carrying passengers or freight. These _boats are of various sizes and shapes, and are partly covered with bamboo matting, the one or two apartments furnishing space for parlor, kitchen, dining -room, bedroom, wood -shed, barn, and idol - shrine. There, multitudes on multi- tudes of men and women, parents and children, grandparents and babies, find a home, each boat often sheltering more souls than Noah had in his ark. • There, thousands are born, grow up, grow old and die, seldom being on land. until car- ried there for burial. Many of these boats are manned by women and -girls, whose large, unbound feet prove that they are not 'Chinese ladies ;',and yet they have learned to 'paddle their own canoe.' Babies are fastened to the deck by strings; and other children wear life -preservers of gourds or bamboo, to keep them from sinking, if ;they fall overboard, though the parents don't seem to grieve much if one does get drowned. There are 'larger and more gayly decorated junks called 'flower boats,' used as floating pleasure -houses of ne good reputation. A few years ago a typhoon swamped thouSatids of these small craft, and hundreds Of the inmates were drowned." Death ola Noted Athlete." The death of Mr. James Fleming, the celebrated athlete, is reported as follows en the Melbourne Sportsman : Mr. James Fleming, the celebrated athlete, died on Thursday afternoon at the residence of his friend Donald Dinnie, with whom he has been closely connected since his ar- rival in this country, over two years ago. Up to 13 years ago Mr. Fleming was re- nowned all over Great Britain and America as one of the best all-round athletes. He visited America in 1871, traveling over the States and Canada, and beating all comers at throwing the hammer, putting the stone, and tossing the caber, and he also wont many prizes at running and lea.ping w611 as danc- ing. He returned to Scotland fur the winter season, revisiting America: the following summer in company with the champion Donald Dinnie, when they were completely victorious at the annual athletic meetings, at throwing weights, wrestling, running, leaping, dancingekc., in over 230 contests during that sealon alone. In 1870,throwing a 16 lb hammer, fair stand, Fleming succeeded in throw- ing his best reeord, 121 feet 4 inches. He also recorded 38 feet at putting the atone of 22 lb weight, 46 feet 6 inches in putting a stone 16 Ms, and with a stone weighing -28 lbs. He has also - thrown a 56 /h weight, length (including 'ring 14 inches,) 25 feet 1, inch. When in good form at leaping, he has recorded a feet 7 inches. During his athletic career he won over 1,400 jprizes. Coloring Grasses. Some of our young friends will be glad to know how to color the grasses they gather in the vacations. Blue is given by dipping the gras.tes into a boiling liht solution of indigo in sulphuric acid. A light blue can be given by dilutSag with water the above solution to the desired shade. Yellow is imparted by steeping the grass into a boiling decoction of turmotic. Red, by boiling shreds of scarilet cloth in water containing a little- alugre Green is imparted by placing the grass first in a hot solution of sulphate of copper, and then into a bath of common soda;• in water, and also by dye- ing the grass first blue and then yelldw.
