I know a little fellow, You'd"''deem almost perfection, Untll?ome chance oecarr^'ico Should lead to his detection. S. irsTU do any one a favor, yKui) on an errand fleetly; willing and obliging, He wins your love completely. But let bis busy father Desire some slight assistance, He'll answer with impatience, Or even with resistance. Full often bavel known him With frowns do for his mother What he, a moment later. With smiles did for another. The little girls, his playmates. Consider him "Just splendid Alas! by his own sister He could not be commended. How like you such beliavlor, , Bright boys and merry misses? And, tell me, did you ever See conduct strange as this is ? Don't Forget Your Lanteru. . "It will be quite dark before you return, Charley ; don't forget your lantern," said a mother to her boy, who was going to spend his half-holiday at a farm about two miles distant from his home. "I'm not afraid of the dark, and I know my way well enough," he muttered. "No, I shan't take the stupid old lantern ; it will only be in the way." Off he went and spent a merry afternoon with his companions, never thinking of his mother's words, or troubling about his journey home. It was quite dark when he said goodbye to his ftiends at the farm, and as there was no moon, and the uight was very black, they kindly offered to lend him a lantern. But he was too proud to accept it, after boasting to his mother that he knew his way so well; and declaringjmore loudly than ever that he would know his way blindfold, and should be half way home before the lantern was lighted, he ran <: down the path along tlie road, and across a field. In the corner of the field was a broken style, which had to be crossed in order to enter tne woou. Part of the style had rotted away, but the long nail which had fastened it still remained, and catching Charley's jacket as he climbed it, tripped him up and threw him suddenly into a bed of sting nettles in the dry ditch beyond. Bruised and smartiug terribly, and greatly mortified, he crept out oj the ditch and began to make his way through the wood. There were several paths, but the widest and most frequented was his nearest way. Perhaps it was the pain he was suffering, or the annoyance he felt, which filled his mind, and caused him to forget to take the turning on the right; for, after walking a short distance, he found the bushes were very close to him on either side, aud he felt sure that he had strayed into one of the narrow pathways which crossed the wood in every direction. How he longed for his lantern ! He had no idea which way to go, but wandered on and on until he grew tired and footsore. At last he came to ** a more open space, and thinking hi had reached the right road he pressed boldly on, but found the ground give way beneath his feet, and in a moment he was struggling in water. There ? was a large pool in the midst of the wood, and into tliii he had fallen. Happily it was not very deep, and after groping about for something to which he could cling, he seized iioici 01 a tough bough, and by its aid managed to scramble out of the water and into the pathway. Some minutes later, bruised and bleeding, with clothes torn and stained with mud and weeds, and soaked with water, lie reached the gate of his own homo, where all the family were assembled, wondering what had become of him. 'Mother," said the miserable but gs? penitent boy, "I've been very foolish but I'll never go without the lantern ' again." Four years passed, and Charley, grown a tine, tail lad, stood again by the gate saying farewell to his mother ?not for a few hours, but for months, perhaps years. "Don't forget your lantern, my boy" she said as she placed in his Land a Ivj . small Bible. "Let God's word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Whenever you are in doubt as to the way you should take, let the light of this book shine upou your path and the way will be plain." P. Declaration of Independence. I: ? It is both a natural and common belief that the adoption of the Declaration was followed immediately by the signing of it. tiuch was not the case. It was adopted July 4th, 177G, and was published with the signatures of the president and secretary of the meeting. July 19 of the same year, it was resolved that it should be sigued by all the members of Congress. For this purpose it was ordered that a copy of the document should be engrossed on parchment. This having been done, it was signed on August 2nd, by liftyfour of the fifty-six persons whose names are now appended to it. Mat thew Thornton, of New Hampshire, took his seat the following November, and obtained permission to sign it; and in 1781 the fifty-sixth and la>t signer, Thomas AfcKean of Delaware? afterward Governor of Pennsylvania, from 1799 to 1808?put his name to it. Few people know that the original Declaration of Independence is kept in the library of the State Department at Washington. It Is a cherry case under glass. But the doors are thrown open all day long, and strong rays of light are eating up its ink day by "day. It is written on parchment. The text ot it is in a hand as fine as copperplate, and the ink of this part can still be plainly read. The signatures, however, are written in different ink, and they are very fast disappearing under Tim I ci.r. iuc auuuii ui uic n^ut. jl iiv mviu nature of John Hancock is faded almost entirely out. Only a J, o, h, and an H, remain. Two lines of names are entirely removed from the paper; not a vestige of ink remains to show .that names were ever there. Ben Frauk!in's name is gone. Roger Slierman's name is fast fading. I could not find the name of Thomas Jefferson, and Elbridge Gerry has lost its last syllabi*. Charles Carroll and John Adams have been scoured oft* by the light, and only eleven names out of fifty-six can be read without a microscope. Just below this copy lies Unoriginal of it in JeHersou's handwriting. It is on foolscap paper, yellow with age, and worn through where the manuscript has been folded. The writing is fine and close, and the whole occupied but two pages. The ink is good, and it remains as fresh as when it left the quill of JefFerson over one hundred and twelve years ago. It is full of.erasures and interlineations, some of which are in Franklin's handwriting, and the others in the strong script of John Adams. I The Boyd Family. Undoubtedly everybody in the village was afraid of the Boyd's. But wliy? They were good, affectionatepeople, faithful to each other, and loy-j ing to their friends. They had some wealth and a pretty home, and enter-J taiued freely. Vet at picnics or tea-drinking the [ Boyds were not sought, but rather | shunned. When the squire came down j the street men were inclined to shrug' their shoulders, and if possible to; ayoid meeting him. Mrs. Boyd wasj dropped out of many of the cliurciij committees, and the young people left Sophy to spend most of her evenings alone. What was wrong? The Boyds came down to breakfast with a cherry, fond geetings to eaidi other. Before they are seated the squire begins : "Most extraordinary thiug! John Halyard told me last uight that he had just come from Piainville where there was a heavy nor'easter blowing. Now here is a south wind and a sunshiny day. If they had a nor'easter at Piainville last night, so should we this morning. Unless John Hylyard was mistaken, and I consider him one of the most accu?" "Dear me!" interrupts Mrs. Boyd. "Jane has put the yolk of the egg in the coll'ee! I distinctly told her not to doit. I said Jane, it is down right waste to use both white and yolk of the egg." Just theu Sophy opened her red lips. "Sue Pomfret and I walked to the fork and back last night. That is full six miles. Sue said five, but i know I atu right. I know the distance from the village to all the six ferries and the Lover's walk?" "Talking of John Halyard's accuracy," broke in the squire, "I bet once, when I was a boy, with Joe Thompson that John Halvard could tell <he weight of his pig within a half pound. You remember that brown pig of Thompson's, my dear? Well, I bet with him that John Halyard could tell how heavy?" "I have a great mind to discharge Jane anyhow," proceeded liis wife in calm, steady monotone. "She minds uothinglsay. Only this morning J said to her particularly, 'Do not put the yolk in with?" "Sue Promfret would have it was live miles, but I showed her?" ?"the pig was by lifting it by the hind legs. "John,' I said?" "Half of the white is suficient,' as I told her?" And so the trio go on, each pouring out a steady stream of talk about insignificant trifles. The squire goes down town, and but trtfl holes every man he meets to tell about the nor'easter which John Halyard had found at Plainville. Mrs Boyd repeats tbe story of Jane and the yolk of tbe egg a hundred times before night, and Sophy, unwearied, rings the changes on tlie odd mile between the ferry and the town. .1 ,.1.1 miniufof In J lie guuu um IUIUH1V1 tuiuiro make a call on tliem. There Las bef-ir a death in the parish that morning, and he feels tliat God's hand has led him very close to the world beyond death?that lie has a helpful word to speak waich he never knew before. But he cannot speak it. His ears are stunned with the weight of Thompson's pig, the six miles to the ferry, the obstinacy of Jane about the yolk of an egg. "All harmless, pleasant chatter enough," he says to his wife when lie reaches home; 'Mait such unending streams of harmless chatter wash away ail the reality from life?even death ami God." Do any of our readers belong to the family of the Boyds? Youth's Companion. The Pleasures of Editing. Editing a paper, says a provincial editor, is a pleasant thing. Jf it contain too much political matter, people won't liava it; if it contain too little, ihev won't have it. if the type is too large, it doesn't contain enough reading matter; if the type is too stnali, they can't read it. It telegraphic reports are published, some folks say they are nothing but hashes up; if they are omitted, they say there is a want of enterprise. 11 we put in a few jokes, folks say we are nothing but a rattle-head ; if we omit jokes, they say we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter, they coudemu us for not giving them selections; if we publish selections, folks say we are lazy for not giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a man complimentary notices we are censured for being partial ; if we do not, all hands say we are a great boor. If we insert an article which pleases the ladies, men become jealous; if we do not cater to their wishes, the paper is not tit to be in their houses, if we attend church, they say it is only for effect; if we do * lwv?r /i^nnnn/t/v ntl f?u f f 11 1 fln/1 II Ulf IMCJ MVllVWiiW v?o desperately wicked. If we speak well of any act, folks say we dare not do otherwise; if we censure, they call us a traitor. If we remain in our office and attend to business, folks suy we are too proud to mingle with our fellows; if we go about a bit, they say we had better stay at home and get on with our work. If we do not pay all bills promptly, folks say we are not to be trusted ; if we do pay promptly, they say we stole the money. "The Inland Printer. 4> ? Sound from a Rainbow. One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that have been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp-black, colored silk or worsted, or other substances. A disk having slits or openings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus making alternate Hashes of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the Hashing beam is falling on the vessel. Recently a more wonderful discovery has been made. The beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light ol* the rainbow is made to break through it. Now, place the ear to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by different parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light Hashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sound best in red light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors, and utters 110 sound in others. The discovery is a strange one, and it is thought more wonderful things will come from it. Christian at H'co A. Ladies Who Have Seen Better Days. Mothers should ponder well a state- 1 ment made a few days ago by a lady in Boston, who has charge of a free 1 employment agency. Generally speaking, she has little difficulty in , getting places for girls in search ol honest and useful work, for she ha9 more applications from employers than she can till. If a young woman knows how to do something?to sew, to draw, to cook, to knit, to embroider, to keep books, to cut out garments, to attend in a store, to teach, to sing, to nurse, to sew books, to make paper boxes?she can generally, in the course of a few days, get her employment, at wages upon which she can live pretty well, and perhaps save a little. But there is a class or youDg mum for whom she can do nothing. Good . girls they are, who have seen what ' they call "better days." They mean f idle days. They mean the days of ( youth, which were meant as days in which to learn how to do a fair share ^ of the world's work. They mean wasted days. Such girls come to her, and say: "I have never been obliged to do anything for myself, and can give the best references as to character and respectability ; could be a companion to a lady, keep house where there are servants, or read to an invalid." I The superintendent has so many ' such appl cations that she makes a somewhat impatient reply: "No rational, self-possessed lady has time to waste upon a companion." ; iler long experience has taught her that only one thing is generally in de- 1 mand, namely: useful labor done with ' skill and care. Parents with daughters appr jachine maturity should carefully consider this fact. Let the girls learn to do something that may be depended on to give them subsistence when their parents can iurnisn n uu more. "Atone time a woman could hardly walk through the streets of San Francisco without having every one pause to gaze on her, and a child was so rare that once in a theatre in the same city where a woman had taken her infant, when it began to cry, just as the orchestra began to play, a man in the pit cried out, 'Stop those Addles and let the baby cry. I haven't heard such a sound for ten years.' The audience applauded this sentiment, theorchestra stopped and the baby continued its performance amid unbounded enthusiasm." Daniel Webster in one of his speeches said there were three things he wished to impress on the minds of pupils. First, you cannot learn without your own efforts. All the teachers in the wgrld can never make a scholar of you if you do not apply yourself with all your might. In the second place, be of good character and good behavior?a boy or strict irum, and honor and conscience, in all things 1 Have but one rule, and let that be al- < ways to act right and fear nothing but wrong-doing. "If the musical and other merely ritual arrangements of a Church," says the Churchman, "are devoutly meant to please God they will do good in spite of many deficiencies; but iftheir first and chief purpose is to please . men, their ultimate effect will add to the already too strong belief that pub 1 lie worship is an enjoyment rather j than a duty, and that unless the worshiper is pleased and entertained it is 1 not a duty." j 1 "I have no appetite; I am strong ; and healthy, but 1 can't eat," writes a ] young man to the editor, asking ad- i vice. "What t<hall 1 do?" "Goaud saw a two-dollar load of slab-wood. You will then be able to eat. You are . probably lazy. That's what ails you.' j I John lluskin expressed a suggestive thouylit when he said : "It is not easy to estimate the demoralizing effects on the youth of the country of the cigar, in enabling them to pass their time happily in idleness." ??? Mr. Dudley?An Ilalian nobleman offers to sell his title for, $200,000. Miss Cominotiseuse?Dear me. I [ had no idea it took all that money to buy an organ and a monkey. At feasts, three centuries ugo, every guest brought his knife, and a whetstone was placed behind the door, upon which he sharpened his knife as he * entered. ' - - - I If I can put one touch of a rosy sun set into the life of any man or woman I shall feel that I have worked with God. In managing others, patience is the quality most needed. Troubles are in God's catalogue of mercies. Nobody can come between us and God but ourselves. Look for something to love, and you will see less to hate. It is the part of the great and good to do great and noble deeds, though he lisks every thing. The heart is like the tree that gives balm for the woundsof man only when the iron has pierced it. An unamible Christian is a disgrace to the Christian religion; but alas! such Christians abound in the world. We can never be at peace till we have performed the highest duty of all?till we have arisen and gone to our Father. Human happiness does not result from bodily excellence nor from riches, ' Knfr Ij I'miixhiil nnnn lineiirhhiPau nf nnn. "1 "J" 'to"' duct. Some remedies are worse than the disease, and some comforters distress < us more than the alHictions they la ' meat. i Nothing short of liearkeniug and obeying will do; but this will do all for thee, and more than thou canst ask or think. Itisavain thing to think we can " take any delight in being with Christ hereafter, if we care not how little we are in his company here. Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility, and noth ing puts him so well within reach of J Heaven's grace and graces.
