DON'T STAY LATE TO.IGUf
The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light;
And lovely eyes are gleaming,
As falls the shades of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circles pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving
Sav,'Don't stay late to-night."
- h world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world of her thou lorest
is at the ingle side;
She waits for thy warm greeting:
Thysmile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says, "Don't stay late to-night."
The world, so cold, inhuman,
Will spurn thee if thou fall;
The love of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all;
Thy children will cling 'round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
4 Then "Don't stay late to-night."
1FE LOST RING
The summer was in its glov
and prime. The hilltops wer
wreathed in amber mist; the rive
, nurmured softly through its wil
low-fringed shores ; the woods al
rifled of their leafy honors, wer
like cathedral aisles, carpetel
with gold, and russet and crimsoi
layers, and the nuts had neve
been so plentiful up in Wrex'
Woods.
Squirrels, school-boys, picni
parties and tramps all had tbei
pick and choice of the nuts, an
, yet, with every midnight frostani
sunrise gale, the ground wa
strewn afresh with them, and an:
adventurous stick, thrown up int
the branches, would bring downi
shower of now treasures.
'But why don't they bring thes
nuts to market ?' cried Lauri
Heritage. 'Why don't we hav
them in London ?'
'Ain't enough of 'em, miss,' sai
Job,. a sturdy, young farm is

you'd call a fancy nut.'
Just then Mr. Austin, the band
some young curate of Comberdak
came up, and held out his hand t
Miss Heritage with a smile.
'I am glad to see you here,' sai,
he.
'And I am so glad to be here

way to the river.
Phobe was big eyed and so
em on, with face and hands almoi
as brown as the nuts, and ha
that waved and crinkled all ove
her head.
Mr. Austin had always had

little niece, flying headlon g dov

'Bless me, child 1' said Mrs. Je

'I-I didn't want to,' sa
Phoebe.

the evening concert, provided one
is in a modest frame of mind. Not

truly. But with one or two of
these Surab dresses. hanging con

be at a loss for something to wear.
Dowager mammas are moreover
quite addicted to Sarah. In dark

dressy; serving to tone down too

LUCY CARTER.
There is no time in a man's
life when he is so great as when
he cheerfully bows to the ne
cessity of his position, and makes
the best of it.
True goodness is like the glow
worm in this-that it shines most
when no eyes but those of Heaven
are upon it.
According to the security you
offer to her, fortune makes her
loans easy or ruinous.

BOYS AND "'BOYS."
It is Charles Dudley Warner,
we believe, who urges that boys
should be caught youns, put in a
barrel and fed through the bung
bole until they have arrived at
years of discretion. And yet after
many and forcible reasons for re
garding boys as blessings in dis
guise, and so % ell disguised as to
be mistaken for something quite
the contrary, most everybody will
agree with the eulogy be pro
nounces upon the boy'. "After all,"
he says, "there is something I
like about a boy."
Boys are the terror of cats,
their mothers and their elder sis
ters, but the cats would lead but a
dull career wilhout them; while a
mother a ould scarcely know what
life really is if she was freed from
the constant anxiety sbe feels
about her boys. What unruffled
but unprofitable hours of lazy en
joyment would fall to the lot of
elder sisters, were it not for their
younger brothers. Sloth and ease
and a mistaken belief that this
world is not a world of annoyances
and discomforts would enervate
their characters. Boys make them
feel that we are not put here sim
ply to enjoy ourselves, but to deve
lop our characters. So with teach
ers. What a monotonous exist
ence would be theirs were it not
for boys! A teacher of girls alone
would mistake earth for paradise,
and so not having any use for
Heaven and not believing in any
such place as a refuge from earth
ly miseries would never strive to
get there. But a teacher of boys,
every week looks forward to a
better and brighter world, makes
good use of Sunday in fitting him
self for it, and in hoping that he
will get there sometime, to make
up for his trials hero.
The ash man who should not
get a snow-ball down his back; the
rag peddler who never found the
wheel of his cart suddenly coming
off; the street car conductor who
did not have to drive the boys
from the rear platform; the passer
by who did not get a base ball in
his abdomen or a bean in his ear;
the nurse girl and her baby who
were not scared out of their wits
by the sudden rush of a velocipede
upon their heels, would not enjoy
their tranquil intervals of exist
ence nor fully know the value of
peace and quietness. So that after
all boys are of very great use
e3pecially as a discipline and a
.means of moral improvement; and
they are not to be despised, but
rather to be cherished and loved,
as they are very apt to be as soon
as they .have passed their eigh
teenth year.
But tbere are "boys" and boys,
"boys" with' a quotation mark

but precious little lhking and ad
miration. It is the "noys" with
these marks that frequent drink.
ing saloons, stands on the street
corners, become rowdies at an
early age, are riotous, foul-mouth
ed, violent and even bloodthirsty
before they are twenty-one. This
is the kind of "boys" that are not
entitled to the name. They be.
come street roughs, if not burg.
lars and high way robbers; or are
dissipated, vicious, lewd and going
to perdition in'droves. It is gangs
of this sort in large cities and on
the frontiers, who are known as
"boys," but who belie the name.
A mean but true specimen of them
are the Malley "boys"-young
men well advanced in manhood,
but covering up their debauchery,
dissoluteness, riotous living, and
even graver offenses, by pretend
ing to the giddiness and thoughtful*
ness of boyhood. They have no
claim to any such excuse or any
such exemption. They are men
m at cre in wickednoess and crime,
and cannot hide their sins under
cover of boyish folly.
The same may be said of the
"James boys" who long since
arrived at mature life, and instead
of being pushed into crime by the
frolicsome impulsiveness suggest
ed by the word "boy," long sincE
resorte!d to robbery and mnurder
as the business of life, not as the
sport of irrepressible and hot
headed youth.
The politicians, too, love to hide
their tricks and their games with
the public service by pretending
in a jocose and lightsome way
thatit is the '-boys" who are re
ally responsible for the evil deeds
of caucuses and conventions, of1
wire-pulling and political deviltry
generally. They imagine it soft
ens the offense if they assume
that it is the "boys" who must be
looked after and looked to for the
wrong-doing in politics, whereas
the majority of these "boys" are
gray with the many years they
have given to learning and practi
cing their contemptible political
frauds and maneuvers. No; in
justice to the real boys, whose
youth excuses much because it is
"their nature to," th.e "boys" of
the street-corners, V the frontier,
and the political managers ought
to have the name taken from
them.-Detroit Free Press.
NEAR THE CRATER OF VES
UVIUS.
Arriving at the edge of the 1872
crater from the west, one crosses
the crater plain and arrives at a
low semi-circular ridge with an
average height of about twenty
feet. Ascending this rim-like heap
of scoria, one observes occupying
its irregular bottom, ~ fumaroles
and yellow patches of decompos
ing lava. The compleLe crater of
July is formed of this ridge to
gether with the southern poi tion
of the former cone of eruption.
Within this space rose another
cone of eruption, whose center
was occupied by the main vent.
On this occasion it was passible
to approach within a few yards of
the great mouth,- from which is
sued the column of vapor and mo
mnentary puffs of fluid lava frag
ments. Thus it will be seen that
there are at present three cones
and craters one within the other.
This, however, was not the most
interesting point. In the lava of
the great plain we discovered a
large cone or lava tunnel about
eight feet high, twenty or thir
ty feet long, and fifteen feet
broad, but with a general slope
downward. The roof was com
posed of lava about eight months
old, aut much decomposed.
The whole cave presented one
glistening forest of stalactites,
some 300 about were counted;
also~ stalagmites. Most of these
were from two to three feet long,
and a few twice that length;
many, however, with a uniform
diameter of less- than an inch
throughout and tubular, divided
by septa, reminding one of an Or
thoceras in structure. The colors
most various and beautiful ; bird's
egg blue, aqua marine, salmon
white, yellow and reddish brown,
and many variegated in these
colors. The eyes after quitting
the rugged and fierce scenes
around seemed to reet on som.e
fairy cave. On attempting to ap
proach the entrance the gust of hot
air, redundant with hydrochloric
acid vapor, almost prevented one
from making an attempt at an
entrance. However, these b3eau Li
ful and interesting pri;es deter
mined me to make an endeavor.
Nose and mouth muffled, and
having placed my friends on each
side of the entrance with a strap,
I made a dive down some steps.
The effect was at first almost suf
focation, stinging of the conjunc
tiva, and a profuse perspiration.
To grab a few of those stalactites
near at band and return was the
work of a minute, then the hearty
pull up by my friends, a fit of
coughing, and a little fresh air re
stored me. This was repeated
eight times, during which I was
able to obtain all the best speci
mens, some thirty examples, and
reach the extremity of the cavity.
These prizes were carried care
fully to Naples, where they have
been placed under glass in a dry
atmosphere, since they were high
ly deliquescent. A qualitative
analysis gives the chief com
ponent as chloride of sodium, with
chlorides of potassium, iron, man

RAISING CHILDREN.
When very young they should be
kept quiet, not too much exposed to
the light. It is usual to engage some
uld and experienced expert to attend
to this, and the direction in which the
twig is inclined' at this stage is gen
erally the ruin cf the parents' peace of
mind for two years.
Milk is said to be good for babes,
but there are so many 'patent foods'
30w sold at the drug store that milk
nay as well be done away with.
,rive the child something that you
ion't know anything about and it will
;hrive-possibly.
Don't cross the child when it is
mall. It will take sL kindly to hav
ng its own way that it is really cruel to
nsist on parental rights in the mat
er.
Learn the little coots to 'crow' as
arly as possible. Take them in your
iands and toss them as high as you can
Lad jounce their digestive organs all out
>f place. This is a genuine 'raise' of
thildren.
As soon as possible put the green
aaby into a baby carriage and push
t along the sidewalk, running into
verybody with it and gathering ad
miring crowds at the crossings to
worship it. This will give the little
ne some idea of the way of getting
yn in the world in later years.
It is a good plan to hurry up a
:hild in the matter of walking.- The
sooner a child walks, the more bow
legged and irrepressible he will be
when he grows up.
Just the moment the child lets go
its mother's apron strings plant it in
the neighbor's front yard. This will
save your own lawn, while the little
fellow digs up the turf and carries away
the lawn of the neighbor in his little
pet wheelbarrow.
Train the child to 'appear' in com
pany. Urge him forward. There is
nothing like it. Visitors so much ad
mire to have children climb and crawl
all over them in their gentle, prankish
way.
A good share of dirt makes a child
grow. Soap and water is useful, how
ever, once a week, to enable parents to
recognize their own children when
they call them to dinner.
Let them have their own sweet way
always. They will retaliate in the fu
ture by not letting you have yours ;
but what matters that ?'
Never allow neighbors' children on
your premises. The hateful things
will influence your own children for
bad. Allowing your children to play
with the neiighbors children on their
premises, however, has a salutary
effect on those benighted little fhands,
and it is your Christian duty to see
that your childreii mingle in this
manner as much as possible.
The best dressing for children is
the sole of a slipper. It should be
gently swayed in the air above them~
and applied vigorously-once in a
while.
Good clothes, are an elaborate ne
eessity for little ones. if you are an
eighteen dollas-business suit man, you
can afford to dress a child on a thirty
dollar silk velvet, brass button basis.
When children get big enough to go
to school-well, you will be astonished
at the remarkable unanimity of the
school teachers and Board of Educa
tion in relieving you of all rights,
privilege and authority. You won't
have anything more to do but sit
with your bands folded, and see these
'servants of the public' make pre.
eious little prigs of your darlings.
(New Haven Register.
There never did and never will ex

E1OW NOT TO TALK TO CHIL .., --
One day in a car seat on the .
Sangus bran f the Eastern Road,
behind a pale worn lady who was
taking a little boy from Boston to-Ma
den. At the little boy was of a very
inquiring mind, and everything seem
ed to attract his attention, I could
not help listening to some of his ques
'ions.
'What is that, Auntie?' the litt
boy commenced, pointing to a stack
>f hay on the marsh.
'Oh, that's hay, dear,' answered the
:areworn lady.
'What is hay, auntie ?'
'Why, hay is hay, dear.'
'But what is hay made of?'
'Why, hay is made of dirt and
water and air.'
'Who makes it?'
'God makes it,. dear.'
'Does he make it in the day time
>r in the night ?'
'In both dear.'
'And Sundays?'
'Yes, all the time.'
'Ain't it wicked to make hay on
Sunday, auntie ?'
'0, I don't know. I'd .keep sf,
Willie, that's a dear. Auntie is i
ired.'
After remaining quiet a mumeat
!ittle Willie broke out :
'Where do stars come from auntie? P
'I don't know ; nobody knows.'
'Did the moon lay 'em ?'
'Yes, I guess so,' replied the wicked
lady.
'Can the moon lay eggs, too ?'
'I suppose so. Don't bother me.'
Another short silence, when Willie
broke out again:
'Benny says ozins is an owl, auntie
is they ?'
'Oh, perhaps so!'
=I think a whale could lay eggs
don't you, auntie ?'
'0, yes-I guess so,' said the
shameless woman.
'Did you ever see a whale on his
nest ?'
'O, I guess so !'
'Where ?'
'I mean no. Willie, you must be
quiet; I'm getting crazy.'
'What makes you crazy, auntie?'
'Oh. dear ! you ask so many ques
tions.'
'Did you ever see a little fly eat
sugar ?'
'Yes, dear.'.
'Where ?'
'Willie sit down on the seat and
be still or I'll shake you. Now, not
another word ?'.
And the lady pointed her finger
sharply to the little boy, as if she was
going to stick it through him. If
she had been a wicked woman she
would have sworn.
There are eight million little boys
like Willie in the United States and
half as many in England.
