HOW WILLIE WENT CiiOW-
TENTING.
Willie Lane was tate veriest little
piclie you can itnagtue. He was
the perfect torment of his school
mistress and the dietraolion of all
hie fellow scholars.
"What will Willie Laue do wrong
to day ?" was the question nearly
always asked when the bell began
to tinkle, and the children to run
For the mistress was very punctual
and woe betide set, little one who
appeared when the door was shut,
Sometimes Willie, witb the most
innocent face in the world, would
arrive when the dictation lesson
was nearly over. A. small rep
would be heard at the door.
"Dome in," sonuded in very so
vere hones from a tail figure in the
end of the room. "Look there 1"
anti a hand wen pointed to a clock,
which ticked on in pitiless nneoo
sninneneas, ehowing that the little
truant was half au hour or more
behind time.
Willie auuld take off his cap,
his little black stained fingers awl
mouth told a silent tale of the
,emptatiou of ripe blackberries, a
very innocent sweet little face
would look up.
"1 kuow I am late," he would
say in his artless tones, and a titter
would arise from the scholars
around him.
"Are you sorry 2" was the next
question.
But Willie with all his faults was
very truthful.
"I don't know. I don't think I
am," he would confess ; and then
name a further tilteriug, a further
whispering, a scratching of elates
to try and hide i$, and then Willie
was taken by both shoulders and
placed iu the corner of the room to
see if in any way he could be made
to feel his disgrace.
One day during the holidays the
squire of the villa,e came to his
mother and said :
"Your boy should be doing some.
thing, Mrs. Lane ; let him come to
my fields and du some crow-tent-
ing."
row-tent-
in Hie mother wee delighted, but
the neighbors said, "Wide crow -
tent, indeed ! He will only fall
asleep 1"
And so much was said about it
that Willie's head was almost turn-
ed.
"If I do fall instep," he asked
timidly, 'what will he done to mo 2'
"Brand your face with I. B. for
idle boy," laughed hie brother.
But, nevertheless, Willie thought
he would try, auu be went out arm•
ed with the long etiek, which had
ou the top of it two rough piacae of
wood which swung like u miniature
windmill. He rattled the stick, he
{ was in the height of onjoyment, he
roared at the orowa, he scared the
Meek thieves, he felt as important
ns any potieemen on the look -out
for two legged robbers.
But, alae ! soon somebody's eyes
grew heavy, eomebody's head be-
gan to nod, a small figure might
have been seeu leaning against a
railing, with a cap Bung loosely
from one hand while the crow-tont•
ing tack was held idly up. The
crows were haviug a feast round
him ; they, at all events, found no
fault with blaster Willie.
Suddenly something came buzz-
ing out of the hedge, it went from
one leaf to another, and, finding
nothing to its taste, it settled on
the boy's head end sent a sharp
sting into his forehead.
"Oh, not I. B., not I. B. 1" he
cried. "I will never, never go to
sleep again 1"
The wasp flew off, but Willie
never forgot hie fright, and from
that day it was very seldom he was
ever told twice to do a thing, and
the leeeou the wasp gave was so
effectuel that he was no longer pall-
ed idle Willie, but Active Willie.
THE NAUGHTY ROLL,
Oh, I'm bothered with Dolly,
She's so full of folly
That she will net attend to her book,
When I teach her to read
She does not take heed,
At the pictures she won't even look.
Oh 1 what shall I do ? Oh 1 what small do?
Dolly, dear Dolly, I'm sorry for you!
Only look at her hair
As she lies on the chair,
All as shaggy and rough as a mop.
I may shout, I may bawl,
But in vain do I call,
For she's sleeping ae sound as a top.
What shall I, what can I, what must I do?
Dolly, dear Dolly, I'm sorry for you!
Yet I'm hoping some day that's not far
away
You will be as fond of your books as your
play.
" SO LIKE JOHNNY."
During the hard winter of 1877,
when thirty thousand unemployed
workmen haunted the streets of
New York, driven to beggary, or too
often theft, a man rang at the door
of a house in one of our largest
cities, and asked for eomething to
eat. He told a glib story of his dis
charge frJm a factory, and said he
had a wife starving not far away.
The mistress of the house made it
a rule to give uo alma that winter,
except after a pers mal examination
of the case of the case of each appli.
cant. So she went into the kitchen
and ortered a substantial meal 10
the man, who ate raveuou;ly.
He was a young, honeet•looking
fellow, but there warn clear markt
of dissipation on hie face. Sudden.
ly he dropped his knife and fork and
eat staring at the door."Who's
that?" he cried. "Johnny! John-
ny !"
The lady's little girl, a child ot
three, had followed her from the
nursery, and stood in her white
gown by the doorway, her ourle
tumbling over her face. The tramp
recovered himself with a hoarse
laugh. "I beg your pardon," he
said, "It's your child, of course.
I—I haven't seen a child for a long
time."
But his food seemed to choke
him. In a few moments he started
np in agitation and said,—
"I am not a worlcman 1 I ata
Jim Floyd, and I wag discharged
yesterday from Moyamensing prison,
where I have served out a sentence
for burglary. I was a decent man
once. I left my wife and my old
mother up in Pottsville, and—my
baby."
While ho spoke hie eyes were
fixed on the child with a terrible
hunger in them, "Little one,' he
said, holding out his hands with a
pitiful entreaty, "shake hands with
1220, won't you ? I wouldn't hurt a
heir of your head."
The mother's heart gave a great
throb. '.Che man was just out of
prison. But the baby—surely God
sent it—ran forward smiling, with
both hands out. Jim kneeled down
beaida it, the tears rolling down his
cheeks. "It is so like Johnny 1"
he muttered. "It is to like John.
ny"You'll go back to Johnny and
gout wife and mother 2" said the
lady.
He would not promise. "It's too
late to make a decent man of me,"
he said'; and presently, putting on
his old cap, he went out.
Six menthe later the lady receiv
od an ill•spelled letter from Potts'
villa• "I am at work here," ie said.
"That day I had planned to join
the burglars again, but your little
girl saved me. I came time in -
steed. It wasn't too late."

HEALTH HINTS.
An Italian proverb says : "Where
the sun does not come the doctor
does."
Says another : "Every idle man
must be a vicious one and a most
unhealthy.. one."
An old philosopher tells us that
man is a lamp with three wicks—
brain, blood and breath. The bead
must be kept clear, the blood cool,
and the breath pure and sweet, or
the lamp goes out,
Care keeps his watch on every old man's
eye,
And where care lodges Bleep will never
lie.
He was a wise humorist who
wrote in French : "The girdle of
beauty is not a corset lace."
The best lighted room is the one
from which you can gee the largest
area of sky at the greatest distanoe
from the window.
Johnston defined "oats" as an
article used as "food for man in

The beet method of preventing
the spread of contagious disease is
immediate and complete isolation
of the sick person, and the thorough
purification of all clothing and
bedding with which he has come in
contact.
The mortality front the uncon-
trollable causes of disease amongst
old persona is beet prevented by
providing against sudden changed
of heat and cold.
WELL TO REMEMBER.
That wealth may bring luxuries,
but that luxuries do not always
bring happiness.
That cheerfulnoas is the weather
of the heart.
That sleep is the best stimulant, a
nervine safe for all to take.
Peat it is better to be able to avy
no than it is to bo able to read
Latin.
That cold air is not necessarily
pore, nor warm air necessarily
impure.
That a cheerful face is nearly as
good for an invalid ae healthy

That advice is like castor•oil; easy
enough to give, but hard enough to
take,
That there are men whose friends
are more to be pitied than their
enemies.
That grand temples aro built of
email stones, and great lives are
made of small events.
That nature is a rag•merchant who
