THE FLY YANKEE BOY. A Story for tho Chlldre?. Showing Uow Virtue, Combined With 1'uuipUln ric, Ia Its Own Howard. Boston (?lobe. So you waut a story, cbildren ? Well, bo quiet, and you shall hear about a good old farmer niau who lives in New Hamp shire; but tho story isn't all about tho farmer nor his land, for it implicates a Bostou boy-tho farmer's hired hand. Ibis Boston boy was very fly-what some folks might call tough; he'd had his optic molars cut, aud was somewhat up to snuff; but yet he was square aud hon est, aud was ucver known lo lie ; aud his only serious failing was IJ?H greed for pumpkin pie. He did his duty nobly was spry and quick ; ho never tried to shirk his i-bk by playing lame or sick ; he never grumbled at tho hash nor the coffee-which was rye-bul he never was quito satisfied with his share of pumpkin pie. Tho farmer loved him like a son, and worked him very light (his task be gan at 1 a. m. and ended-0 at night). His name was Albert, but, for short, tho old mau called him Bert, because it didn't take much Liaae, and rhymed quito well with work. OKI: SUM M KB MORN thc old mau rose al eariy candle light, aud hollowed for his Huston boy with all his power and might. When Herl show ed up, tho farmer said, "Go drive tho briudlo cow to Concord, for I've sold her to tho butcher, Cyrus Dow. He'll pay you ?40 cash ; bo sure you keep it hid, for I have hoard there's robbers 'round, as bold as Capt. Kidd. So keep your wits about you, lad, aud lei your weather oyo bo on tho watch for rogues and sharps, for they are awful sly." So Albert ato his morning meal of pork and pumpkin pie, and washed it down with coffee strong-with co?leo made of ryo-then bc hoofed it down to Concord, willi ino Icau old brindle cow, when bo soon caught on ibo muu ho sought-tho butcher, Cyrus Dow. The latter paid him fur tho cow four golden eagles bright, which Albert then pro ceeded to hido from mortal sight ; for, on his way to Concord, ho had studied up a plan to get tho best of sharps and crookB, or strolling highwaymen. So he tuckled the boodle carefully in the lining of his vest; which brilliant racket cased his mind, and set his fears at rest ; but alas 1 for human foresight, thero's many a little Blip 'twixt honest people's fingers, and rogues' dishonest grip. Just as Al bert slipped the sugar in tho lining of his vest, a crook had stopped outside, to lake a chow of "Jackwood's Best;" through tho window his quick eye had seen tho yellow eagles shine ; and ho hugged himself aud whispered, "Oh ! that dust will soon bo mine." But-to turn that adage end for end it shows there's many a slip 'twixt rogues' dishonest fingers aud houcst poople's grip. Like tho buuco stecrers' little game they played on C. F. A., tho best laid plans of highwaymen will oflou go astray. OUR HERO'S BUSINESS ENDED, ho tarried there no moro, but started on tho homeward route ho oft had trod be fore. The robber, mounted ou his mare, jogged slowly on bebiud, while visions of thoBO golden coins went flashing through his mind. As soon as Bert had reached a point where the town was out of sight tho rob bor overtook him, as any traveler might, and, with glad anticipation, which was difficult to hide, ho kindly asked our hero if he wouldn't like to ride. AB Bert was rather weary with his long and tedious walk, ho didu't waste a moment iu idle, useless talk; bul he straddled ou behind without auy moro ado, aud along tho country highway thc horse and riders flew. Thus they rode until they carno to a lonely, dismal wood. "Now," said the bold highwayman, "I'm not feeling in tho mood to monkey any longer ; so I'll tell you, plump nud square, that you muet! now dissect that vest or climb the golden slr ir y Now, I thiuk I hinted ouce before that Bert was very fly, so he tumbled to tho racket in the twinkling of no oyo ; but it filled his honest bosom with sorrow, tinged with uhamc, to see how slick the chap had dropped upon his little game. But ho didn't have a deceut Bhow to argue or dispute, for the villain plainly hinted that he wasn't loath to ahoot; so he ripped the lining from his vest, and snatched fae money out, and among the grass and mullen stalks he strewed it well about. Then the highwayman's greedi ness his caution overbid : but I guess he thought that Albert was a common coun try kid ; at any rate he instantly scram bled from his horse, not thinking for a moment that 'twould be to his loss ; but no sooner had Le humped himself to gather up tho gold, than he noticed that for crooks at least the day was very cold ; for, os I mentioned heretofore, our lad was very fly, and he did'nt stop a week or two to bid his nobs good-bye. THE BOBBER CUSSED and threatened till his face was black with rage, but it didn't do a bit of good, for Albert held the age ; but our hero gave him lots of time to settle in his mind what a chump he was to "order up" and then "go it blind." To all his invitations for Bert to stop and dine, Bert thanked him very kindly, but he "really hadn't time;" and home to his old master a nobra mare he rode, with plunder hanging, fore and aft, to balance np the load. The farmer's wife seised up the lad as he came riding home, and, to inform her husband, she rushed into tho room. The old man came limp ing out, and growling like a bear, "The devil I has my brindis cow been turned i?to v im'l^:!Woil:mtMtycolfl cove," the boy replied,-"I'vo sold your brindle cow, according to-instruction^ to the butcher, Cyrus. Dov? ; ,but a duffer col ? lured ill the dust. whUrty t :dido't think i 'square, so, to make, you even wita . the guy, I rode away his mare." The farmer laughed quite hearty at the story Albert told, and said : "Now, for n city "' lad you'yo been quite sharp and bold; ps for that bad highwayman, .you're served bim yory slick, for you're played him for ^sacker by a tborodgh'YahktSe trifck.V Then the saddlebags were op oh ed, and Ino treasure WA3 nil told. There was just $2,000 in eil vcr cola and gold, four revolve re and ?demijohn. Tho boy says : j "WoU, I ?wow ! don't you think I got a good fair prico for that old brindle cow ?" Now the farmor owned a heart os big as neighbor Brown's off ox. So, after ho had hid tho swag in n couple of dirty socks, ho turned aud said to Albert, while a toar Blood on his eye : "My lad, I must admit that you have been extremely fly. And, as you've Bold my cow so well, I think I eau afford to give you, for your services a suitable reward. From this day henceforth you shall have (or I'll know tho reason why) at every meal your belly full of good, fal pumpkin />ie." MORAL. This ?tory, children, shows you how tho man who lives by theft doth often miss his clever grip-io other words, "gets left." It niuo shown you how a boy, by being bold and fly, may get per mit to gorge himself on Yankee pump kin pie. Borrowing and Lending. Ordinarily, says A. G. Coinings, of Lee, N. IL, in discussing "Karin Morals" in tho New England Earner, the prosperous and successful farmer must be a man who knows where to find his farm im plements without a waste of lime, when bc wants to uso any of them, nnd knows whether they are in proper condition for immediate service. With "a place for everything, aud everything in its place," there need bo no waste of time in finding the tools which we may at any timo wish lo put in use. Lut a man who is himself of an orderly cast and habit, and who knows the necessity of economy in tho use of time, will find it DO pleasant mat ter toliiiiiHolf, nor profitable to his inter est, when he thinks ho is ready for active labor, it may bo with a crew of hands, to discover thal some indispensable arti cle fur tho work immediately before them is not in ?ts place, has been lent without his knowledge, and not returned. A farmer has a perfect right to know where all his utensils arc, and in what condition they arc for immediate use. It i.i therefore plain that a right lo lend any of his tools, or thc implements of his husbandry, bolougn lo him alone, and ex clusively. Neither a hired man, nor tho farmer's sons, nor even his wife-, has any right lo lend any of his implements. Certainly a man has no right to expose hi? wife to embarrassment by lending what pronorly belongs to her, or in neces sary for her uso. A good woman will take pleasure in accommodating lier neighbors. Hut il she ?8 a true and worthy wife, she will bc unwilling to sacrifico her husband's in . cresta or pleasure, or, perhaps, his love to picoso somebody elso. A farmer'i wife should never bo placed in auy sucl position towards her husband. If tempt ed lo trenn.m i against her husband, sh? may injure his interests when she litth thinks of it; sho may irritate him ; ahi may effectually alienate his affection from her, aud render both unhappy fo life. I think this is not overstraiuiuj Ibo truth in tho case, and it should bi considered. A person who wishes to borrow shouh not ask auy woman to lend what proper ly belongs to her husband. Such a rc quest I regard ns u tresspass, und mor than that-it is a double trespass. It i asking what, of itself, a good womal with pleasure would grant, if i wero right. But it is not her right ; it i a trespass against the man by tomptin his wife to do towards him whnl uho ba no right to do. Borrowed articles ar too often never returned. It is also to often fuund that borrowers of tools, i they injure them, will return them-i? ?.onie sly way. thai, lite owner may no know tho injury in time to chargo il t tho proper party ; it is very dishonorable but such things ure. Such a menu anea as would do such a thing will have doublo chance to hide his meanness, i tho owner of tho borrowed article doc not kuow that he borrowed it. It i thereforo not right for tho farmer's wifi uor his hired mau, nor his sons, to len his implements. He has a full right t kuow all about his affairs. No ono hu a right to embarrass his plans, or brin injury on bim without his knowledge c cousent in tho matter of lendiug h thiogfl. Aud lhere is another form of gros trespass, in what aomo call borrowing It is the freedom of taking and usiu without asking any leave. I will illm trate what I mean by this, ina statemei of a simple fact, ns follows : At acertai timo, where I lived, I had an iron ba such as have frequont use by many fa mers, iu connection especially with fem building. In tho spring of the year wanted to use it, hut it was not in i place. I hunted and inquired in val The time spent in fruitless search w aovcral times more than the Baleal value of the bar. At length I was i formed that such a bar was seon in a c< tain public building, thrown in a certs place. Well, there I found it. It h been wanted, taken without my knot edge or permission, used and then throi down as though such liberty was a leg imate right. No matter how obliging spirit any man may have, he will t want pretended friends nor open enem: to treat him io that way. I want such complimenta paid to "the genera ty of my natore" aa that. It was a tre pass in taking, and that was aggravai by what followed. Yet, I think that wrouy was intended ; but there v either ignorance or lodifference of rig though done by intelligent and religio people. lu the ordinary circumstances of li there can never be an excuse for Uki without leave, under the name of b rowing. Wheo auch taking resolta final loss, as may often be the case, il the same to.th? owner aa though it fa been Btolcn. Bach liberties aro mora wrong, and will be very destructive o good neighborhood.' Bach liberties i not rightful privileges of good men. - hm - . J_! : Why His Attention Ceased. An excellent atory la told about young man whose attentions toa yoi lady became the subject of comm*. She was his companion ?n'his drilly ric find apparently thoy both enjoyed propinquity. Suddenly tho ridc? ceas and thc young follow wait ?sked tba I BOD. Ho replied that sho had called I ?jackass and that he would not ask 1 girl to. ride with him after that. 1 lady's friends' Were shocked and asked particulars. This was hi? explanath "You seo, wo had boen so much together that I S"- oa~ 111 topics of conversation, and when I toob her out lost I couldn't think of anything hut the weather, and I said, 'I believe it ia going to rain. I felt a drop on my car.' She looked at me and carelessly said, 'That rain is a half mile off.' Now, did not that mean I wasajackass with long ear*? 1 have never been near ber since." Deterioration of Sight. The causes to which this d?t?rioration of eyesight has been attributed aro al leged to be cross-lights from opposite windows, light shining directly on thc face, insufficient light, small types, and to the position of the denk, forcing the scholar to bend over and bring the eyes too close to the book or writing paper, eto. Hut .vere all these defects remedied, the integrity of the eye would not be re stored nor tho deterioration prevented. There ore the colors of the paper and ink. White paper and black ink are ruining th. eyesight of ali reading na tions. The "rays o? tho sun," says Lord Bacon, "are reflected by a white body, and ure absorbed by a black ono." No ono dissents from this opinion,; but, tic spite these indications of nature and of philosophy, we print our books and write our letters in direct opposition to the suggestions of optical science. When wo read a book printed in thc existing modo wo do not see the letters, which, being black, aro non reflective. The shapes reach the retina, but they are not received by a spontaneous, direct ac tion of that organ. Thc white surface of thc puper is reflected, but the letters are detected only by a discriminative effort of tho optic nerves. This effort annoys tho n?rvea, and, when long con tinued, exhausts their susceptibility : thc human eye cannot long BUstaiu the broad glare of a white surface without injury The author of "Spanish Vistas," in Har per's Magazine, says of Carlhagcna thal "blind people seem lo be numerous there a feel which may he owing tu thc excess ive dazzle of tho sunlight and thc ab seucoof verdure." Mr. Seward, in hit tour around tho world, observed that "ii: Egypt ophthalmia is universal," attribut iug it to tho same "excessive ?azzle" o tho ?'do areas of whito saud; and tin British soldiers in the lute campaign ii that country exhibited symptoms of tin same disease. In tho Smithsonian He port for 1877 it is stated in a paper oi "Color-blindness," that "M. Chcvrcu has produced 1-1,420 distinguishable tint of the elementary colors, from which tb paper manufacturers could select color moro agreeable to tho eye than thc daz zling while, HO weakening and laceratin to the nerves of that delicate oigan." {Science Monthly. History of tho Alphabet. How many of the millions that dail use the alphabet ever stop to think of il origin and long history ? In the tm spirit of n student, Isaac Taylor, a we known English writer on philosophie! and philological subjects, has recent! written and published in London, ta Btout volumes under the litio "The A phabet, an account of the Origin an Development of Letters." It ia only I help of recent discoveries of early ii scriptions and the progress in the art < reading lost lunguages and deciphcrii hitherto unknown symbols, that such well posted history bas become possibl Hy careful Htudy of tho essays and sciei title investigations of tho latest ph ?lol gists, Taylor has net forth in languai within easy comprehension the origin the alphabet, showing that our own "R man" letters may he followed back their very beginning, some twenty i moro centuries ago, as he asserts. V have no better letters, according to th account, than those of the Italian prin ors of the fifteenth century. These we imitated from the beautiful manuscriri of tho tenth and eleventh centuries, tl lettering of these hoing derived from tl Kornau of the Augustan age. The II mun letters, in turn, uro traced to tho employed at Romo iii tho third centu B. C., and these do uot differ greatly fro forms used in thc earliest existing spei mean of Latin writing, dating from t fifth ceutury B. C. This primitive alpt bet of Rome was derived from a lo< form of tho Greek alphabet, in as? abc tho sixth century B. C., and that wai variety of tho earliest Greek alphal belonging to the eighth or even the nir ceutury B. C. The Greeks got their 1 ters from the Phoniciaua, and theirs i clearly traceable in tho most ancii known form of the Semitic. The most ancient of books, a Papy found at Thebes and now preserved the Freuch National Library, suppl the earliest forms of the letters used the Semitic alphabet. The Stone Tal of the Law could have been possible the Jews, only becauso of their post sion of an alphabet, and thus tho Bi and modern philological scienco untie ascribing a common origin to the alp bet which is in daily use throughout world. The nineteenth century B. C held by Taylor to be tho approx! rr date of the origin of alphabetic writ! and from that time it grew by slow grecs, while from Egypt, the home of Jews during their long captivity, knowledge of the alphabet was car. in all directions Where alphabets are i found. The Aryans are thought to have fa the first to bring the primitive alphi to perfection, and each letter and e sound may be traced by Taylor's car analysis through all the changes I have marked the growth, progress, i in some instances, the decay of dide letters of various alphabets. It is an tores ti ii g fact that the oldest known B C" in existence is a child's alpha scratched on a little ink bottle, of b ware., found in ono of the oldest Gi settlements in Italy, attributed to fifth century B. 0. The earliest let and many later ones are known only inscriptions, and it is the rapid inert by recent discoveries of these prec fragments, that hos inspired more gent research, mid quickened the Ma learned students in mastering the monta of knowledge of their origin history throughout the world. As aa 1876 there were found in Cyprus a bronze plates Inscribed with Phreni characters, dating back to the te even the eleventh century, B. O. . Each epoch bas its fragments, and indu.-try of English explorers, the perse verance of German students, and the genius of Kreuch scholars have all con tributed to group them in their chrono logical order. (.'oins, engravec? genis, inscribed statues, ami last of all the Siloam inscription, found in IHSO at Je rusalem, on the wall of au old tunnel, have supplied new material for the his tory. From the common mother ol many alphabet-', thc 1'nuMiician, are de scended tho Greek and other European systems on the one side, including that which we Use and have the greatest in terest in ; and on tiic other, the alpha bets of Asia, from which have sprung those of tlie East, Syriac, Arabic and Hebrew Marrying In l'un. A decision adverse to tho lady in thc ca^o was given in ?hat is known a-tin Flatbush kisring case at.New Kt recht, !.. I., Saturday, by .Justice Ferguson, before whom Miss Annie Iligbie had brought an action for abandonment aginst Walter Vaughan. Moth parties to the action are .-till in their teens, and the case has gained considerable notoriety from the somewhat novel charade! ?if the evidence by which the young lady sought to estab lish bur claim to personal owner-hip in the defendant. A number of very young women aud very young men amused themselves at a church sociable in Flat Lush one evening by getting one ol their number to in-Mimo the ride of a minister ami to perform a mock-marriage cere mony for a number of tho youthful couple. Miss Iligbie and Walter Vaughan were among those who went through the > ; rc-ninny, and though all the evidence showed that the whole af fair was purely a matter of sport on ali ??iles, and was thoroughly remote from even a semblance of a contract, Miss Iligbie, after ri flection, and perhaps con sultation with someothei persous^claimed thal the marriage was a real one, and sued the delinquent Master Vaughan for abandonment. A case like tl.is lias it:, humorous .?ide, bul it is not without ils graver features. It shows the necessity for tho exercise of greater eire on the part of parents and guardians than they aro accustomed to bestow upon their j natural or legal wards, and the import ance of cultivating more formality in the relations of young people. The I- mtbusli albur shows that familiarly may no', only give rise to contempt, but may bc the cause of lawsuits that may give unpleas ant publicity to all parties, and may casta shallow ou tho lives and reputa tions of those concerned.
