The Field Sparrow.
A bubble of music floats
The slrye of the hillside over?
A little wandering sparrow's notes?
On the bloom of yarrow and clover.
And tho smellot sweet-fern and-.1! o bayberry
leal
On his ripple ot son:; nre stealing;
For he is a chartered thief,
The wealth of the fields revealing.
One syllable, clear aud soft
As a raindrop's silvery patter,
Or a tinkling fairy-bell, heard alolt,
In the midst of the merry chatter
Of robin and linuet and wren and jay?
One syllable, olt ~epeated.
Ho hsts but a word to say.
And of that he will not bo cheated.
The singer I have not seen;
But the song I arise and follow
The brown hilis over, the pastures green,
And into the sunlit hollow.
With the joy of a lowly heart's content
I can fuel my glad eyes glisten,
Though he bides in his happy tent,
While I stand outside and listen.
This way would I ctso sing,
My dear little hillside noighbor ! ^
A tender carol ol peace to bring
To tho sunburnt Holds of labor,
Is better than making a loud ado.
Trill on, amid clover and yarrow?
There's a heart-beat cchoing you,
And blessing you, blithe little sparrow!
Lucy Larcom, in St. Nicholas.
SOMETHING HANDSOME,
Nobody knew just how rich Mrs.
Buttersby was. Some said she was a
millionaire; some limited the sum tc
6ixty or seventy thousand; some said
she possessed only an amount which
died with her; and some tnat she was
richer than John Jacob Astor, and had
baps of gold up her chimney and behind
secret pannels. and amongst the roots ol
the old pear tree at the foot of the gar
den. The pear tree being such a very
likely place for hidden treasure, as it
was utterly unprotected, and onlj
fenced in from the public road, ovei
which any tramp might clamber, as
many did, at any hour of the night.
However this might be, all agreed thai
Mrs. Buttersby w:is a miser; and certainly,
for a wpman of any means, six
was remarkably penurious. Her snial
house had few comforts in it. On<
smouldering fire alone was lighted then
in the depth of winter.
Butcher's meat was almost an unknown
thing, and tea. coffee and sugai
luxuries, never to bo thought of bj
Penelone Baxter, the only other inmat*
of Mrs. Buttcrsbv's mansion beside hei
excelled self. For, be it known, Mrs,
Buttersby had a slave of white complexion
who trembled at her very nod;
who lived on cold potatoes?when there
were any?wore Mrs. B.'s old gowns,
out of which she was always bursting,
like an over-boiled potato out of its
jacket; and was invariably seen in very
much flattened slippers entirely down
at the heels and the clumsiest of blue
yarn stockings. A slave who, on rare
occasions of absence, signed her letters
to the old lady "Your dutiful niece,
Penelope Baxter," and supposed to
be the daughter of Mrs. Bu'ti-rsby's sister,
who was always alluded "o as that
"undutiful critter, Sal.'' by the old
lady, and as " mar" by the young one.
Penelope, although not set off by her
attire, was a good-looking .girl with h
nez retvousee, blue eyes, pink cheeks,
curly golden hair, and no si?rn of bones
anywhere about her. and was, truth to
tell, the object of the_ adoration, not
only cf Simon Tomkins, the village
baker, but of Simon Starbuck. who had
no particular trade at present, but
thought of doing something, and, mean*
while, wa3 the genius of his household.
Having a taste for music, and being
known to have written popms for the
Leekvilie Thunderbolt. The baker,
being eiderly, and wearing a red wig.
was despised by Miss Penelope; but
Simon was favored not only in secret
but in a mertiure openly; for at the bottom
of the garden, under the pear tree
bofore alluded to, there had heen an interchange
cf vows and locks of hair,
and a prom is? <-f eternal constancy.
For the life <.f her Penelope -would
not have revealed this to her aunt, but
the old lady being shrewd enoueh to
see through so transparent a thine as
Penelope's heart, found it out for herself
and accused her of the crime.
"You've gone and ensraged yourself.
Pen." she said, standing stiff as any
ghost in her white night eown beside
the damsel's cot bed one night.
" Aud a thankless thing it was to one
that took and did for you when that ungrateful
critter. Sal, died. I should
think the victuals you'd had would hev
riz up and choked you, and that blue
bead necklace what I giv you would
hev turned to a hemp rope about your
neck. Did I give vou bed, board and
clothos to have such a reward as this?
Ah! ynu'd repent it v.hen I'm dead
and gone, ana buried in the churchyard.
'Taint likely I'll live morc'r
twenty vears. Couldn't you wait till
then. Pen??couldn't you wait till
then?"
Pen, who was a tender-hearted damsel,
wept profusely at this, and, in the
scantiest oi night attire, wert down
upon her knees, and. after asking pardon,
vowed t hen and there that not e 7en
the 'alented Simon should induce hertc
leave her excellent aunt as lone as thai
lady continued tf> breathe. "And,'
sobbed Penelope, broken-hearted ly.
clingincto Aunt But.tersbv's hand, '']
did think of the maroon colored merino
you took off of your own back to givt
me Christmas, when T said 'Yes' tr
Simmy, and my heart smote me?indeec
did ?
The old lady, somewhat mollified bj
this confession, bade Penelope arise, anc
bound her by n solemn oath to remair
In single blessedness during the rem
nant of her a^cd aunt's existence, be il
long or short.
"And surely as you do," said Aunl
ButtPrsby. when the oath had been ut
terM, "surely as you do. IV. leave yoi
nnmethine handsome, and you can hav<
Simm^whenever you choose."
" Something handsome!" Aunt Bi?t
tersby uttered the words with a signifi
cance which implied millions, and Pen
elope, who had never hitherto helievec
in her aunt's fortune, was instantly con
verted to a popular superstition.
What could "something handsome 1
mean but. n large fortune. Under th
pf>ar trpe that night Penelope tol<
Simon Starbuck of this promise, who
beinr' ?enius, he at first received wit!
cont> >nt?r. :i".d remarks about," dross,
but which he afterward began to vie\
in a more nopeiui ngut. ana rec.;pive<
with the encouraging remark that" th
old lady mightn't live lone, after all
a speech which caused Penelope to shei
tears and hope that her aunt might liv
a thousand years?an age which wouli
have caused poor Penelope to marr
' rather late in life. In any case, th
"genius" w:is net prepared to go t
housekeeping even on the smallest scale
so he made a virtue of necessity, an
while his poems still teemed with hi
scorn of srold, he privately pondered o
the probable meaning of "somethin
handsome "
Meanwliile, there was a new arrivs
in Leekville. Mrs. Bui tersby's brother
who in his youth had been no credi
to his family, and in his old age was n
particular credit to himself, made hi
appearance one fine evening with
bundle tied in a bhie cotton pockc
handkerchief over his shoulder, an
declared his intention of rc '?'nin(r t

Every one had said this about si
months when Aunt Buttersby was tak<
suddenly ill. She refused medical assis
ance on the score of expense, until she
grew so bad that Dr. Jalap could aid
her by neither pill nor potion, and on
one winter's day lay dying on the haid
est of straw bolsters.
She knew her end was near, ana spoke
of it freely, chiefly triumphant on the
score of not having incurred a useless
doctor's bill.
Brother Silas listened fearfully for the
mention of a will, but none was made,
and on the score of property nothing
was s;vid until sunset. Poor Penelope,
the doctor, the minister, Silas and Simon
Starbuck were assembled about her
couch. Then, suddenly. Aunt Butter-by
sat bolt upright in bed, lifted herskinny
finger and said:
" I call you all to witness?"
"She's wandering, poor thing," said
Silas. in a tremor.
"No, she's not," said Simon St:irbuck.
" I call you to witness what I say,"
reiterated Mrs. ButtersbyPenelope
Baxter has been a good gal, and dutiful
to me. I'm going to reward her."
Silas groaned and Penelope began to
ween.
" I told her,1' said Mrs. Butters by,
" that I'd leave her something handsome,
and I'll keep that promise. Remember
they're my dying words. I
give to Penelope the big china jar that
stands on the mantlepiece yonder. A
china trader gave it to poor Buttersby
years ago; it's 3 orth a great deal, and
it's pretty."
Starbuck smothered an oath. Silas
looked L'ss terrified.
" But," pursued Mrs. Buttersby.
" PeneloDe must promise never to sell
it. If the time comes when she must
part with it, she must break it. No
stranger can have that jar. Promise,
Pen., promise."
And Penelope sobbed that she never,
never would part with lief dear aunt's
last present.
Mrs. Buttersby never spoke after this,
i and three days after was laid at rest in
the old churchyard, and her brother,
Silas Brown, took possession of the
hou?e in which she dwelt, and another
, in the village, and, finding no gold
i under the pear tree or up the chimney,
i sold the village house and rented half of
[ the ott er, and lived temperately on his
i income.
i Poor Penelope took the china jar away

I being married to Simon began to kepp
f houRC with little other furniture besides
. a pine table, two chairs, a stove and a
tea-kettle. But the jar graced her man;
telpiece ?nd was her pride and glory.
> It was tall and slender, with a narrow
neck, and a device representing a Chij
nese lady of rank walking in a blue garden
among pink butterflies. Every day
it was ducted religiously, and turned
. best side foremost, and profane hand
? never touched it. Mild Penelope felt
I that her aunt had crowned the benevo.
lence of her life by this gift, and only
i thought herself silly for having believed
In the hidden treasure. But Simon was
. of a different mold. As time passed on
he waxed more and more wrathful at
I fate. The world did not appreciate his j
. genius. His father died and hn was left i
to his own resources. He left Leekville J
at last, and, going to New York, resolved
to become a star and astonish the dral
matic million. Fate was still against
I him; and as a last resource he settled
down as a very subordinate actor in an
exceedingly minor theater, and came on
, in peasant costume to say "welcome
home, my lord," to the newly returned
heir; or as a smuggler, who announced
j that the "captain was waiting," or
. sometimes as a speechless king at a
i banquet.
Penelope made nets and nursed her
, children. In a few years the house was
full of them. When we say the house,
; we mean the habitation, which, correctly
speaking, might have been mentioned
as rooms. They trotted and
crept about, fell down stairs and out of
windows, and ovprset kettles of boiling
writer, and through all escaped alive,
with their full complement, of limbs,
i The disappointed actor was not as
ereat.lv rejoiced a9 a patriarch would
have been bv the number of his olive
branches. Probably sandals and gont
, skins were more easily come at than
morocco shoes and calico frocks are
nowadays. And finally, in despair.
Rtarbuck took lo drink, and crowned
Penelope's misery. Then begun the
recular pawning of the china jar.
Once a w<?ek, at least, food ran short,
and there was no money in any pocket:
and on that dav. at dusk, Simon would
repair to his " Uncle's " with the legacy

. shillings to purchase supper. Poor
Penelope always manaeed to get her
treasure back before it was time to
pawn it again, and on the whole, the
, china iar cost them more than its original
value over and over again.
Tt was a miserable sort of homo
Simon seemed to grow more morose
every day; the children wailed and
fought; Penelope worked her fingers to
the bone; and rarely had t>'me to <vash
> her face or brush her hair; and thp
bugbear of the Household, the black
! man up the chimney, was the agent who
. collected the monthly rent. They were
always behind hand, and always on the
verge of being turned out into the street.
i and just saved themselves this un pleas- j
[ ant circumstance over and over again. |
Penelope declared that it would happen |
i some day. and Simon said, " Let it; oet'
ter know the worst."
I Perhaps it was for the purpose of ac
quiring this knowledge that, coming I
i home in an oblivious state from the
I theater one night. he walked into an
[ open cellar door and broke his leg. That
month's rent went to the apothecary,
and the avenging aeent made his appeari
anee shortly after, uttering dire threats,
i Penelope promised payment next week.
Next week came, so did the aeent; but
i the money was not forthcoming. It
> was a desperate case. The agent saw it.
: " I've borne this long enough." he
said'. "Out of this you go into the
, street, and if you had anything worth
; sixpence T'd seize it. Holloafor here
> his eye fell upon the china jar, "itow i
; did you come by that' It's a curiosity! i
> You've no business with luxuries if you
I can't pay your rent; that's mine!1' And!
he strode across the room, seized the |
r long-treasured jar. stuck it under his i
I arm, and was marching off with it, but \
i Penelope caught him by the arm.
"Don't take that!" she cried. " It's j
t all I have to remember ray poor dead
and pone aunt by. She gave it to me on
t her death bed."
"Your aunt be?blessed!" said the
i agent.
j "Amen!" said Simon, from his
couch.
The agent still clutched the china jar.
- Penelope tried another course.
"You shan't liavj it!" she cried.
\ "You've no right to it! It is not Si
mon's, but mine. Give it back to me!"
"Whatever is jours is your 1ms"
band's!" said the agent. " Hold your
e tongue!"
I Penelope became meek?unnaturally
i, so. indeed. She made a courtesy.
!i "You're right, sir, I suppose," she
" said; "take thej'ir. only I don't want
v the neighbors to know it. Please let
d me wrap it up in a bit of paper."
e " W eil, make haste," said the unsus
picious agent, surrendering the vase
d with the grace of a bear; "I can't wait
e all day, mam."
(1 Penelope took her aunt's lepacy in her
y hand. She rejrarded it earnestly, regrete
fnljy. and said aloud :
o "Good bye. you dear old thing.

l. | Rut the agent swore and stamped, and
c Penelope was hiding her face in her apo
ron and sohhinz like achild. And mat>f
ters seemed likely to take an unpleasant
is turn, when one of the youngsters cried :
ie I "Mammy, there's a p iper in the vase!"
d And from the glittering heap df china

(1 ' low in the bottom of the lonjr-necked
t. | vjko, and was fastened there by some
;}, ! adhesive f-ubstance, for a picce of china
t- j clung to it :w it was lifted up.
e. Penelope's heart beat wildly. She
ix i caught the parchment, unfolded it, read
>n | a few lines, and hastened to Simon's
t- j bedside.
% 0
" I gupss am crazy," she said; " but
it's my aunt's will if I'm not."
And there, uoon the yellow sheet,
Simon read these words:
"My Inst will and testament, which
will be discovered by Penelope Baxter
if she obeys me; lor as Simon Starbuck's
wife, the time will surely cone when
she must p:irt with or break it. By
that time both mny know the need of si
money."
"Money!" Simon turned the page .
gleefully, and then read of certain
astonishing sums?not hid under the
old pear tree, but wisely put out at in- J
terest?to which Penelope Baxter was
to be the heir. Sums which would si
make them independent of iandlords,
butchers and trorers for the future.
And he read this to Penelope, and she u
wept.
"Dear, good aunt!" she sobbed. "She b
always promised to leave me something
handsome, but how could I guess it was
the vase?"
And so Mrs. Buttersby's hidden treasure
was found, and Penelope received "
hrr reward at last; and Simcn, wno was
not bad at heart, now that he was no ?
longer wretched, foreswore strong
waters. And when last heard of there rr
were no more flourishing or happy
people than Simon Starbucks and his
family. And lie has written and published

A remarkahle machine was described {
at a recent meeting of the Societe d'En- S1
couragement pour l'Industrie Nationale c<
at Paris called theprofilograpb, because
when in use it traces mechanically on fr
paper the outlines of the ground over ci
which it travels. It consists of a small oi
carriage mounted on two wheels, drawn
by one man and attended by another, tl
who marks the levels at the proper
places; and underneath lianas an iron d
rod with a large ball at its lower end,
servingas a pendulum. This pendulum
maintains a constant vertical position,
while the machine inclines one way or ?
the other, according as it ascends or
descends a slope. To the unper end ot
the rod is fitted a pencil, which marks In
on a sheet of paper the ups and downs T
of the country traversed, whether on tl
an ordinary road or across trackless
fields. The exact profile is thus re- fi,
corded to a given scale. At the same aj
time one of the wheels, acting the part a]
of chainbearer, measures and indicates
the distance traveled throughout the
survey. For surveyors and others en- b
gaired in leveling operations, this ma- 1,1
chine would appear to be eminently st
serviceable, and there is talk of its being c'
made use of in a new general survey of to

Termites, or White Ants. T
By far the most wonderful of all /1 - b
rieties of the ant-tribe are the termites, 0
1 * ' * - T.. J.' 3
or Winte ants 01 me r^asi inums jiuu
Southern America, but they differ in so emany
respects from the orciuary ant cj
that some naturalists do not class them a
among ants, hut among the neuropter- p
ous insects. Tneir families are com- a
posed of males, females and neuters;
they live in communities and construct
hills and turrets, and so much resemble d
the true ants, 0*- fbrmicidse, that, outside h
ot scientific rules, they seem to be of the 3'
same general family. They swarm at tl
certain seasons like true ants, but in
such prodigious numbers that they form si
the chief food of the birds, reptiles, and
even of the men living near, who are on ^
the lookout for them as they fall to the a
ground after their short day of aerial
life. Few survive this swarming, for c
they are devoured as a great delicacy by
all sorts of ant-eaters. But it is proba- ?
bly a law of nature that only a few
queen-ants should live, as each one lays
eggs to the amount of somo thirty mil- h
lions. The working ants, after gaining r
a queen, inclose her in a sort of cell to v
preserve her from her enemies, it is sup- o

her incapable of taking care of herself, v
In this cell are small holes to enable the ft
workers to pass inside and gather the s
eggs, which she lays more rapidly than f(
one can credit; sixty a minute?upward
of eighty thousand in twenty-lour
hours.
The houses built by termites are, fj
compared with the builders' size, the r
highest in the world. Man, in order to J.
compete with these insects, must raise P
an edifice two thousand eight hundred P
feet in height; for one of these white J!
ants is but a quarter of an men iong, 1
rnd one inch, for it, is eaual to twenty- 0
four feet tor a man. These nests are 0
ten and twelve feet above the ground,
and beneath are large gailerips, extending
hundreds of yards under the earth;
and the roads from these lower chambers
wind in spirals up to the top of the ?
hill. The view of these habitations
from a distance much resembles anas- '
seniblagp of huts, and the hills are com- 11
posed of a sort of clay which in time 11
j bears grass and other plants.
The principal food ol these creatures c
! is wood, although they will work ,
through almost anything; they are '
miners in their tactics, and always eat ?
first throueh the interior of what they
attack, having the outer surface appar- J
ently untouched. Their obvious place *
in the economy of the universal system I
of things is to absorb the constantly *
decaying vegetable matter which encumbers
tropical forests. They devour *
enormous fallen trees in a few weeks.
Ants' instincts fire certainly most
wonderful, and their tenacity of life,
when attacked by human agencies, at
times shows absolute powers of reason.
Nothing in animal or insect life can
surpass their perseverance, their industry.
nor their attachment to their
young, although, strange to say; that
attachment i3 alone displayed by the
sexless neuters, while the mother-?mt

Fringe is sometimes made into bonets,
upon which the only trimming is
spray of flowers of a darker tint.
Curl-papers are coming in again, it is
sserted. They are better for the fringe
f hair on the forehead than crim pingins.
Little turbans for summer wear are
lade of rows of lace set in rows passing
round the crown. One flower finishes
lem off.
It was inevitable and has come to
iss that Jersey bodices are now made
> button down the front; the skirt,
iffs and collar are trimmed with a band
f color.
Hats are more eccentric than ever,
lrnedup in front or at the side, or even
t the back, in whieh latter case they
>me down like a thatched roof over the
row.
One of the new ways of trimming
aunccs is to overlay them with rows
f satin ribbon, set about an inch and a
alf apart.
Plain French bunting is combined
ith foulard this summer for seaside
istumes, instead of the brocade used
?t season.
Fringes made of feathers shaped into
issels are used to train the front and
de breadths of the gowns that have
jurt train.
The binding which has disappeared
om the brims of hats is replaced by
ocheted netting about two inches wide
a both sides.
Some of the new costumes have skirts
iree vards wide instead of two and a
alf. like those that have been worn
uring the winter.
The diagonally corded ribbons which
ime in and went out several seasons
50, after a brief period of favor, have
sen brought out again.
Calico aprons with muslin ruffles and
ice trimmings are worn in England,
hey are called dowered prints, but
ley are calico all the same.
Chinese brocades upon which the
Kures of men, women, tea-chests, fans
nd trees are mixed up in confusion,
re new and by no means pretty.
A new collar and cuff of linen have
een brought out for wearing with
lilor-made dresses. The collar is
raight and fastens at the back; the
,iff is very shallow and intended to be
icked on the sleeve.
The moat popular colors with moistes
are helitrope, "capucine" and
rass, otherwise called "amaranthe,"
his new shade of helitrope can scarcely
e described; it is in the highest tint
f the flower and very pale.
Many of the square-cut bodices of
rening dresses have a stand-up mediis
collar added of the material, edged
11 round with good-sized cut beads or
earls. In some instances the beads
re of the same color as the dress.

Lace is extensively used for hats and
onnets, black witn gold embroidery,

nd round, with a little fullness. One

Some of the new lace ruffs are very

A Female liswytr'i Career.
Our readers will learn with smoen

roodell, attorney at law, of Madison,
Visconsin, well known to them by hoi
oanv interesting and valuable communications
to the Woman's Journal, ai
rell as by her brave and successful
areer as a lawyer.
Miss Goodell was the daughter 01
Villiam Goodel, the well known editor
,nd abolitionist. For many years pas1
ler father had been a resident of Janesrille,
and there, until recently, Miss
Joodell has resided and pursued hei
irofession. She has always enjoyed the
riendship and C9teem of her feilow-citi;ens,
who have felt honored by hei
tresence and proud of her legal attaindents.
W hen Chief Justice Ryan, some
'eara ago, refused her application to folnw
lipr nlfonta' ^aspr into tbfi snnrenif
iourt of the State, on the ground that t
voman could not be permitted to prac^
ice law in the supreme court.. Mis:
aoodell appealed to the legislature Iron
lis decision, and secured the onactmen'
>f a law making women eligible to al
egal and judicial positions. In thi;
novement she was aided by the bar o
ler own county and by many emineni
awyer# of other localities. Indeed sh<
las always enjoyed the friendship am
respect ot her profession.
We know of no woman who has dom
>0 much to make woman respected as i
lega practitioner. There was nothin;
joarae or sensational in her manners o
methods. A student of great research
5he was eminently quiet, simple an<
practical. From her lather she itiherite*
i clear, logical intellect, and from he
mother a genial and sympathetic tem
peramcnt. With admirable commoi
3ense she avoided all spread-eagle dis
;>lay. and relied for success upon a thor
jugh comprehension of her facts and
careful study nf judicial precedents
She was generally successful in the suit
she conducted, and deservedly cnjoye*
the confidence of her clients.
Miss Goodell was :t warm friend c
temperance, and an uncomproruisin
advocate of woman suffrage. We lnit
not had full particulars of her illnesf
but, as we have received a letter fror
her within a month, it cannot have bee
prolonged. She was a devoted daugl:
ter, a laithful friend, and a consister
reformer. Her loss will be keenly fell
and her memory will be tenderly cherished
by all who knew her. She is one
of whom it may be truly said that her
life has made the world better.?

An Early Betrothal.
3 An early betrothal is chronicled in
tLe Elmira (N. Y ) Free Press. Two
young couples were married witbin a
t few iu:nUid oi each other, and from
families that had been very intimate.
5 In January last a boy was born to one
of them, and he was welcomed as heart,
ily as though he had been a prince of a
' reigning house. Last month a girl appeared
to the other young couple. One
- evening the mother of the boy visited
the mother of the girl, taking her child
j with her. Most ol the members of
both families were also present. The
mother of the boy took a rather diminu1
tive but costly ring from a case, and,
placing it on the finger of the girl
> scarcely a month old, solemnly engaged
her son .to the child, the matter to bo
t ratified in the future.

Monthly.
t
i A Kindergarten School.
In the kindergarten school of PittsI
burg, Pa., the children are taught to lay
. the table for breakfast. Little toy tables
and toy dishes are used. " What do we
place on tin tables next?" asks the
1 teacher. "Napkins," reply the pupils.
"What are napkins for?" "To wipe
our mouths and fingers, and keep our
r dresses neat." Having learned this les,
son, the pupils are taught?to place the
napkins, then to place the plates, which
, "must always be warmed," then the
i milk pitcher, water pitcher, sugar bowl,
tray bowl. " What is a tray bowl lor?"
"To pour the dregs of the cups into."
, Then the coffee pot and other articles
; are arrHnged, ana the pupils arise and
repeat the lesson together pointing to
each article as they name it. "These
are little breakfast tables. This is the
coffee pot; it should be scalded before
the coffee is put in. This is the sugar
bowl; it should be filled when taken
from the table. These arc the knives.
, This is the fork; we eat with the fork.
These are the breakfast plates; they
should always be warm," and so on
with the whole. Then comes a song
which thechildreh sing together:
"When I was very little, i used to 8it and
think
How hard my mother had to work, until my,
heart wonld sink.
I tried to help her, as I could, bul always did
it wrong,
That always made the matter worse and her
own work so long.
So then I went to school,
So then I went to school,
And there we learned exactly right,
For we were taught by rale."
The dishes arc cleared away by rule,
and a toy dishpan is placed before eAch
little housemaid. She plays wash the
dishes and rinse them, singing meanwhile:
" Washing dishes,
Suds are hot,
Work away briskly,
Do not stop.
" First the glasses;
Wash them well;
It you do them nicely,
All can tell."
The Donkey at Naples.
There is a creature, writes a correspondent
oi the Boston Traveller, which
' forms a most characteristic part of
Naples socicty. It is the donkey. He
is a kind of universal servant. They
ride him, drive him, use him for market
wagon, for dray horse, for everything
that a back and four feet can do; ana
then they maltreat the poor animal in
every conceivau'e way. Yet. if ever
there was a beast whose whole appearance
Haid, " Your humble servant, sir."
it, is this same donkev. He seems a
creature of infinite good will. Compare
him even with his master, and he has
some points in his favor. He is honest.
He is reasonably quiet, too. Occasionally,
too, he vents his feelings in a series
Krotto Kill* fViof \a nof
UI ui'Cjruian jx uiojs^ w *kj uvu
surprising. Think of his grievances.
More than all, he begs for no centimes,
and asks for no pour-boire. This said,
need I argue further?
Truly, I have become quite attached
to the animal. Education, I am sure,
would do for him in many a case as
much as for his master. But I am reminded
that I have not yet ridden a
donkey. If the proof of the pudding is
the eating, the proof of the donkey may
be the riding, so I will praise him no
more tili I have been upon his back.
The typical donkey-team is to be seen
most frequently mornings, for then the
produce is brought into the city. The
team is arranged somewhat in this way:
A large panier is thrown across the animal's
back, and hangs low upon either
side. This panier the marketman fills
with his vegetables?cabbages, perhaps.
Not only does he fill the panier, but he
piles the cabbages upon the animal's
, back until the burden becomes far
larger than the creature which is to bear
it. So the donkey goes upon his round.
The driver walks behind him, at the
same time grasping him by the tail; or,
when enough of. the load has been sold
i to admit of it, he mounts and seats himself
upon the animal's back. A more
i perfect picture of content than this man.
and his donkey I have not seen.
How to Help the Children Grow Erect.
William Blaikie, the author of "How
' to Get Strong and How to Stay So."
spoke before the Brooklyn teachers' asi
sociation recently on " Physical Educa,
tion." I want, said he, to see if in an
; informal talk we can't hit upon some
; way in which we cap bring the physical
, education of school children down to a
I practical basis. Our children, who are
. iiealthy and buxom when they begin
school work, come out pale, sickly and
; with round shoulders. If you require
; the children under you to sit far back
on a chair and to hold their chins ud.
you will cure them of being roundshouldered,
and the lungs and other
vital organs will have free and healthy
; play. Another simple plan is to have
l the children bend over backward until
they can 3ee the ceiling. This exercise
: for a few minutes each dny will work a
. wonderful transformation. If a welli
qualified teacher could be employed to
[ superintend the physical development
of the children, the best results would
F be seen. Dr. Sargent, now the superin
tend<uit of the Harvard gymnasium,
; who formerly had charge of a gymna
sium in New York, has no equal as a
i teacher of simple, eflicucious means by
which the weak parts of one's body may
> be developed. 1 tlnnk it wouia be wen
for you to send some competent physi
cian to bim to take lessons, and then the
exercises could he tauent to your
> teachers. The first step should tie sim.
pie and economical. Exercises of the
? simplest kind can be begun without any
i apparatus.

No Good Preaching.
No man can do a good job of work,
preach a good sermon, try a lawsuit
well, doctor a patient, or write a good
article when he feels miserable and dull,
with sluggish brain and unsteady nerve,
and none should make the attempt in
such a condition, when it can be so
easily and cheaply removed by a little
Hop Bitters. See othei column

The Geese or the Platte*
We crossed the Platte river?that
strange, wonderful river, wide as the
Mississippi and so shallow that a man
cannot he down and drink out of it without
sticking his nose into the sand. And
all along the Platte?geese.
Wild geese. Brant and geese. A flock
of them every fifteen feet, and three million
in a dock. Black and white, they
lined the low banks of the river and
covered the low-lying islands and tow
heads. They circled around in the air
until the sun went out. There didn't
seem to be room enough in the country
for half of them, and yet this is such a
big State that they didn't take up any
room at all. There may appear to be
something a little paradoxical in this
statement. If theie is, you will have
to straieliten it yourself. I have no
time to fool with such things. But I
never saw eo many wild geese in my
life as re stsred at to-day on the Platte
river. I don't see how a Nebraska
homesteader finds any time to farm,
when tiere is so much for him to shoot
at. I im afraid if I took up*a claim
anywhere along the Platte, my son
would have to run the farm while I
passed my useful time in the Platte
quicksands.?Eawkerje Humorist.
The existence of famous petroleum
wells in Asiatic Turkey and other parts
of the Orient from which the people of
those countries have been deriving oil
for more than two thousand years is a
well-known fact. Notwithstanding this
they greatly prefer American petroleum
for two reasons. One is that American
oil being carefully refined, is a better
article and freer from offensive odor,
and the other that it is much the cheapest,
because the Asiatics have not the
use of improved machinery for raising
and refining the oil and for transporting
it to market. With these advantages
American refiners need fear no competition
from this source.
