THE BELLE OF THE 8EAS0H.
They say she's the belle of the season,
The queen of the very elite ;
And this, 1 suppose, is the rensou
She has all the men at her feet
They bow, Aud ihey smile, and they Uut'.er,
In a way that I'll uot try to tell;
For it's nearing the close of the season,
She is rich, and then?she's the belle.
They dunce, and they ride and (ltcy lake her
Out rowing at night on (lie lake;
They wine, and they dine, and they make her
Like a martyr of old at the stake.
They give her no moment of leisure,
But they hurry, aud worry, and tease,
Till she sighs and declares there's no pleasure
In life, with so little of ease.
Like the talc of the moth and the candle,
That we read of so long ago,
They'll hum, ami they'll tlutter and dandle,
And?get burnt in her ladyship's glow.
For they know not that after they leave her,
With regrets that the evening's so brief
(If she told them they would not believe her),
She goes, with a sigh of relief,
To her room, aud donning the neatest
Little wrapper of white and of blue,
Takes paper and writes just the sweetest
Little note to a fellow named Lu.
She hopes (bless her heart !) she's not hurting
His feelings; he mustn't feel bad.
And tells him how awfully she's flirting,
Ami cautious liim not to get in ad.
"l*'or you know," (let us road what she's written)
"I think it's the jollicst fun
To see these fellows all smitten
By one girl?and to think I'm the one!
But, l,u, dear, if you were a miner.
And my heart were a vein of rich gold,
I would say you had struck a big shiner,
And 'twas yours, now, to have and to hold."
A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STORY.
A few weeks since, in coming down the
North river, 1 was seated in the cabin of
the magnificent steamer Isaac Newton in
conversation with some friends. It was
coming late in the evening, and one after
auothc. seeking repose front the cares and
toils of the day we made preparations to
retire to the berths. Some, pulling oil'
their boots aud coats, la)' themselves down
to rest; others, in the attempt to make it
seem as much like home as possible, threw
off more of their clothing?each ouc as
their comfort or apprehension of danger
dictated.
1 had noticed ou deck a fine looking boy,
of about six years of age, following around
a man, cvidcutly his father, whose appearance
indicated him to be a foreigner, probably
a German, a man of medium height
and respectable dress. The child was unusually
fair and fine looking, handsomely featured,
with an intelligent and affectionate
expression of countcuaucc ; and from under
his German cap lell chestnut hair, in thick
clustering curls.
After walking about for a time, the father
and son stopped within a few feet of
where we were seated, and began preparations
for going to bed. I watched them?the
father adjusted and arraujjcd tile bod the
child was to occupy, which was an upper
berth, while the little fellow was undressing
himself Having finished this his la"her
tied a hnudkcrchicf around his head to protect
his ettrls which looked as if the sjnlight
from his young happy heart always
rosted there. This done I looked for him
to seek his resting place, but instead of
ikis he quietly kneeled dowu upon the floor,
put his hands together, but so beautifully
child like and simple, resting bis arms on
thu lower berth, against which he knelt; lie
he began his vesper prayer.
The lather sat down by his side, and
waited the conclusion. It was, not a long
prayer, but well understood. I could hear
, the murmuring of his sweet voice, but could
not distinguish the words lie spoke. There
were men around him?Christian men, retiring
to rest without prayer ; or if prayer
at all,?2V.kind of mental desire for protect
tiou, without sufficient courage or piety to
kneel down in a steamboat's cabin, and before
strangers, to acknowledge the goodness
of Cod and ask his protecting love.
This was the training of some pious mother.
Where was she now '! How many
times had her kind hand been laid 011 the
sunny locks, as she bad taught him to lisp
his evening prayer, whether Catholic or
Protestant, whether far oil' A nigh. 1 could
scarce restrain from weeping then, nor can
I now, as I see again that sweet child, in the
crowded tumult of a steam boat's cabin, bending
in devotion before bis Maker.
But a little while before, I saw a crowd
of admiring listeners gathering about a company
of Italian siugers in the upper saloon
?a mother and two sons with vr.'wo lin-r.
? r
and violin ; but no one heeded, no one cared
for the child at prayer.
When the little boy had finished his evening
devotion, he arose nud kissed his lather
most affectionately, who put him in his
berth to rest for the night. I Kit a strong
desire to speak to them, but deferred till
the morning. When morning caine the confusion
of landing prevented me from seeing
them again. Jiut if ever I meet that boy
in his declining years, I'll thank him for
tho influence and example of that night's
devotion, and bless the name of the mother
that taught him.
Scarcely any passing incideut of my life
ever made a deeper impression on my uiind.
I went to my room and thanked God that
J had witnessed it and for its influence on
my heart. Who prays on a steamboat'(?

The Man Wiio (1 hew.?One day last
week a Detroit mechanic who was goiug
down Michigan Avenue became favorably
impressed with a pair of pants hanging in
front of a cheap clothing store. The price
was low, the goods seemed all right, and he
made up his mind to purchase.
"I giv you do word of Andrew Shackson
dot dose pants are shust like iron," said the
dealer. ,-I warrants dem cfery dime,"
After three or four days' wear the purchaser
found the bottom of the pants crawling
toward the kuoes. It was a bad ease of
shrinkage, and he got uiad and went immediately
back to the store and said ;
"You swindled mo out of these pants!
