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

of a simple fact, ns follows : At acertai

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

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

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.
