Her mammy came and looked for her everywhere, but could not knd her, She had stood as close to her as from here* to yonder tree, and called and called, but the little girl could not answer, and her mother did not see her because the ',lave - stealers had hidden her among the leaves in the thickets. So by-and-by her mammy went away and then the slave - stealers came and took ber down into a boat and aboard the ship. There they put her in a dark place with a great many more blade people. Every morn- ing they used to come and take out those who died and throw them over- board, She could not remember the name of the ship, but the white people burned her in Kingston harbor. It was very difficult to understand the old creature's dialect, but she patiently re- peated her words until the meaning was clear. She took the shilling that _was offered her and gave her thanks in the same sad voice, and as the boat drifted down the current and around the dense foliage at the end of the stream, she still sat motionless, with the shilling in • her hand, looking after it. — From " Jamaica, New and Ord,"• by Howard Pyle, in " Harper's Magazine." • Gaieties. —A small boy in Dundee made a sen- eation for a short time by quietly trans- ferring a card bearing the words "Take one" from a lot of bills in front of a shop te a basket of pears. —As the old farmer stood gazing at the elevator as it went up, he exclaimed. "Well, by gosh! I've seed one or two baloons at the fair, but I never saw one work that way afore!" — "My boy, when I was your &gel was st my desk at seven o'clock in the morn- ing.' The Son—" That may be, but I knew the busines. s is perfectly safe in yourhands, even while I'm away." —A little boy carrying some eggs home from the shop, dropped them. Did you break any ?" asked his mother, when hs told her of it. "No," said the little fellow; "but the shells same off some of 'em." —Bobby --Don't be scared, Johnnie. Perhaps your father didn't mean it when he said he would lick you. Little Johnnie—Yee, he did. It wasn't as if he had promised to bring me home a am whistle. —Mrs. Startup—Well, Araminta,how. are ye gittin' along with your learnin' in boardin' school? Araminta—Splendid, BM We have just begun metaphysics, and it's elegant. Mrs. Startup (sternly) —You should not say "metaphysics, Araminta. You should say met a physie." If you will look in your gram- mar you, will see that the noun "a" does not go with the adjective in the singular gender. —Smiley—You think that hat is light enough for summer?

The little piping rhyme beginning' "Twinkle, twinkle, Little atar' " has been changed into this rhetoricalblast from the trombone : &Wilhite, scintillate, globule vivitic ; Fain wotild I fathom thy nature specific, Loftily poised in ether capacious, Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous. —Brown was mentioning to his wife the old legend, based, no doubt, on St. Peter's exploit, that every time a 000k crows some one tells a lie. "But how Z e it, then," asked his doubting help - ate, "that the roosters chiefly crow very early in the morning, when almost everybody's asleep ?" "1 don't know, nly dear, unless ;it is that at that hour most of the big dailies go to press." May and Christmas. "1 picked up a bit of information tbe other day," said a city hotel clerk, that I hadn't thought of before. A cou- ple of men were talking in the (Ace, when one asked on what day of the week Christmas will be this year. "Let's see," replied the other; "1 was married on the first day of May. That was Wed- nesday. Christmas will come on Wed- nesday." "That struck me forcibly, and when I got a little leisure I gathered up a lot of old calendars and investigated it. I found. that it is true that the first day of May and Christmas of the same year occur on the same day of the week." Don't Stand on "Your Rights:, An old and successful merchant re- lates -the following: "When I was quite an old clerk, that is old for the years I had been clerking, though 20 years of age, I was told by the head clerk one morning that the sen- ior member of the firm had directed me to be sent to his residence as soon as I appeared. "The porter is to go with you," said the head clerk. Something in his face .naade me think that he knew what I was Wanted for, so I asked 6' What's to pay ?" "He wants you and Bill to take up and shake his carpets,"was the answer, given with a smile. "For a second I thought of my rights. I had hired out to be entry clerk and book-keeper, and here I was expected to go down to the residence of the proprietor and beat carpets! I was troubled with as much pride as the aver- age young man of 20 possesses, and that is no small amount. I don't remember anything more distasteful ever offering itself to me, but I said : "All right ; I am ready when Bill is," and we went to our task. "1 didn't pont, or sulk, or assume any aggrieved airs, but went on my knees pulling up the carpet as oheer- fully as I could. We had a day of it; the carpets to take up, be beaten, and then be put back. "The proprietor was chatty, his wife was sociable, and I made the most of my opportunity; it never harmed me. I had evidence afterwards that my work that day was a stepping stone in my career, and I might almost call it one of the turning points in uy life." Captured in Africa. Once, in the opening of a jungle that overgrew the banks of one of the streams that empty into the harbor, we came upon a stray drift -piece of humanity that had floated down the stream of time to the present from those old by -gone slave days. The rowboat was being pushed up a crooked little creek that meandered. through thickly growing weeds where great mudfish scurried in and out, and between banks of dense vegetation pierced by alligator wallows, and arched overhead with trailing vines and branches into a roof of quivering leaves. 14 -and -by an open apace was reached, Where, upon the marshy bank and in the midst of the brush, one could just see the outline& of a low straw hut, such as One might expeet to disoover in the ilmgles of Africa. An old negress made her-- appearance at the sound of the thud uf oars in the rowlocks, and, coming down to the bank, aquatted on a log,_ and talked in a sad, melancholy manner. Her history was that of thousands, but iteounded strange coming from her own lips. It was like a voice of the past Speaking of dead things. She had been brought, as a girl of ten or twelve years old, to Jamaica aboard of a captured 31-Etve ship. Her African mother had sent her to the spring to draw water,and there, in the thickets the slave -stealers had caught her. They had thrust some - 1 pen in the house the boordher who crime last will be tied responsible.

" I have read of men being paralyzed by a wound and unable BO move," said a well known prominent Maine office- holder, "and I believe it. I know that there have been many cases of the kind, and one of them in particular has such a personal -twist that I have good reason to remember. "It was at the battle of Chantilly in the early part of the fight. We had ap- pioaehed a low rambling fence—a Vir- ginia fence, as they were called, and I had my gun through it and was doing whet service I could. I saw the splinter fly from a piece of that fence under the impulse of a ball from the enemy. "In the lightning flash of the flying wood I seemed to find time to dodge,and then' there was a qiuick pain like the searing of a hot iron and the splinter wee through my hat band and along my eoalp, penetrating it, but not injuring the skull. "The blow was severe and stunned me, and I remember well my last ., look at the scene—the fighting troops, the smoke,' the battle and the trampling - men. "1 fell back, my legs half doubled up beneath me, and in a moment my strength was gone and I weal powerless. r saw everything. Men fell upon me. Men trampled upon me. Hcrses reared around me. The battle was on all sides. "My wits were clear, by brain un clouded, but there was I, dying a death momentarily, alive, yet dead and suffer- ing more tortures than I thought life could have. I lay there perhaps half an heir—every moment a year of agony— ,hen I felt some one's hand on my collar, and I was dragged out and turn- ed on my face, where I lay for-amoment as some one rifled my cartridge box. • "The motion saved me. My pulse seemed to stir, my heart beat, my will to re -exert itself, and in a few minutes I was myself. The wound .was so small that I stanched it with my handkerchief mad in half an hour I was as well as ever. "If the hand had not found my coat collar I should have been bleaching my bones on Chantilly at this moment in- stead of here talking to you, and it would have been tough to have passed in on such a scratch." — Lewiston Journal.

It is thus sugges- ted by the New York Tribune: " What shall we order? I'm too tired to eat anything heavy; let's have an ice, a chololate eclaire and some soda _water. 1 must eat something of I shall look forty when Charlie meets ue at the matinee." i "My dear child," said her elder com- panion, "let me give you a word of advice. The chief aim of every sensible Woman to -day is to keep healthy. With - health the preservation of good leeks is a comparatively easy task; with- out it a useless struggle. Your body is , exhausted now by shopping, and you have no appetite. If you want some-, thing that will nourish your flagging powers without over -loading your Stomach, order a glen of milk, and order iit hot, as hot as you can sip it. Now, 1on't swallow it so fast and in such big : Rips," she added, as her companion rut drinking the hot milk which had been ordered, just about as one would toss off i glass of soda -water before the effervescence was all over. "Sip it lowly. Take four minutes at least to finish that glassful, and do not take 1 more than a good spoonful at one sip. My husband is a doctor, you know, my dear." • 1 "Many people who like milk and know its value as a strength -giver think LyLeigestion. Most of them could use it cannot use it because it gives them haveif they only drink it in the way I ave described, or if they would, better OHL drink it hot. Hot milk seems to lose ft, ood deal of its density, you would •ihnost think it had been watered, and - it also seems to lose much of its sweet- ness, which is 'cloying to some appetites. Ilot f eod generally is coming more and more into favor among sensible women who are wide awake as to the effect on •their beauty of good health. Ices and indigestion go hand in hand, cold drinks and dyspepsia lie down together, and warm bullion is getting to be as common BA! tea receptions, at homes and five o'clock teas." A Few Useful Hints. ,Don't worry. Don't hurry. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow." " Simplify ! simplify ! simplify !" Don't overeat. Don't starve. f' Let your moderation be known to all men." Court the fresh air day and night, Oh, if you knew what was in the air." Sleep and rest abundantly? Sleep is nature's benediction. Spend less nervous energy each day than you make. Be cheerful. "A light heart lives long." Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.' "Seek peace and pursue it.' "-Work like a man; but , flon't be worked to death." Avoid passion and excitement. A moment's anger may be fatal. Associate with healthy people. Health is contageous as well as disease. Don't carry the whole world on your ehoulders, far less the universe. Trust the eternal. Never despair. " Loet hope is a fatal disease.—Christian Union.
