The Index to a hook Is small
ComDRred with what the hook
The Head, though but a little ball. '
incloses ardent, thoughtful brains.
And dreris of rain are little things
That point to oceans If the akv
And bridegroom deal In little rings
as ajuiuois ui toe strongest tie.
And little blades of grass, though small
All point to life within the earth '
That life tnst in this grsat round ball
isives spring us sweetest, freshest birth,
A woman's eye Is hut a bead
Sot clear and fair 'neath snowy brow,
And yot It shows the fairest creed
ueiore wnicn men on earth may bow.
And words are little wenkling notes
That va Ish like a Dassinir ultrh
And yet they tell our swselost thoughts,
jiuu uvo mm mougni tuar, will notdie.
So this T send is but a mark
urgratsrul thoughts and warm esteem
Is but a little wav'ring sprrk

Leaving reapers, plows cultivators,

Permitting broken implements to be

Attending auction sales and purchac

Allowing fences to to remain unre

GOING ToTaRTIES.
There are many tests of good breed
ing to which young girls are subject in
going to parties, ol which perhaps they
are not themselves aware: modesty,
self-possession, a certain amount of
reserve, and unlading cheerfulness, and
good temper, ore among them. Absence
of worry about one's dress helps to all
these desirable conditions, and is indeed
essential to some of them. Girls who
think of nothing but their looks sonic
times forget the common civilities of
polite society. They are exacting and
troublesome to their escort, thev fail of
endeavors to make his evening as pleas
ant as they expect be will make theii s.
They depreciate instead of honestly
adnvrinz the dress and appearance of
lb:r voting friends and associates'
wi.ey are offended at the praise of other,
and seem to consider it meant as bit me
'.o themselves tbey are always on the
ok out for Blights, yei, are often insult-
in 7 in their owu speech and manners
8uch girls must not be surprised, if, in
time, a wide berth is given them, by
frieuds and acquaintances. Jennie

DANGEROUS SMARTNESS.
A litllo while ago, it is said, a farmer in
Pensylvania set a trap with a tempting
bait to catcb a fox which was making
uawclcome and expensive lists to bis bee
roost.
When the farmer went to see his trap
it had been sprung, or touched off. The
bait was gone, and instead of a live cap
tured fox there was only a quiet
stick of wood fast in the jaws of the
trap.
This happennJ for fourteen nights
The farmer could see no tracks but his
own and those of the fox. It perhaps
seemed discouraging work to furnish
baits only to have them stolen.
But the man persevered ; he did not
give it up and think, 'Well, it's no use."
No, he bated mice more, and on the
lifeenlh night he found a fine oil
fox with his nose fast in the
strong j iws of tho trap, and iu his mouth
was a stick of wood. O.ico too often
he had tried his sharp game of springing
the trap and stealing the bait. He
was caught at last.
This little story shows that some kinds
of smartness are dangeroas. Tho fox
was cunning, but his cute tricks cost
him dear.
Sometimes human beings, as well as
foxes, try to gaiu something by sharp
tricks. They seem to enjoy for awhile
tho fruits of their dishonest doings.
They may many times escape catch
ing, but tbey get safely "nobbed" at
last.
Lying, cheating, pilfering, disobey
ing and other naughty things, may
seem to be profitable for a while, but by
and by the trap snaps in an unex
pected way, and the evil doer is caught
and punished, or found out and put to
shame.
S
NO DRONES THERE.
A gentleman Using in the northern
suburbs secured a bive of bees two or
three weeks ago as a nucleus for an
apiary, and in the course of ten days be
had read ten different works on the
boney-beo and invented half a dozen
parent hives. The other forenoon a
man called at the house on business
and was informed by the wife that ber
busband was nut inspecting the bees.
"Is he looking up honey ?" inquired
the roan.
"Oh, No he's looking to see if there
are any drones in the hives.
At that moment both were startled
by a series of whoops and yells, and
the husband came around the corner of
the house on the jump, his hat striking
the air on ail sides of him. lie rushed
through the current bushes and back,
rolled over the grass and lit out for the
barn, nnd the amazed wife shaded her
eyes from the sun ns she looked after
bias, aod continued, in a disappointed
toi.e :
"Bit I don't believe he found a single
drone, by the way tbey stick him. De

ANOTHER WILD MAN.
A wild man is in Louisiana no re
flection is intended upon any journalist.
He is divided into three parts that is,
the ownership of him, and large dm
dcuds are anticipated. The Courier
Journal says !
"Ilis whole body is covered with a
layer of scales, which drow off at regu
lar periods, in the spring and fall, like
the skia of a rattlesnake. He has a heavy,
growth of hair 00 his head, and a dark
redish beard about six inches Ion?. His
eyes present a frightful appearance,
being at least twice the size of the aver
age eye. S me of his toes are formed
together, which give his feet a strange
appearance, and his height, when stand-
ine perfectly, is about six feet five
inches.
This strange creature is amphibious in
his proclivities, or rather he was before
he was cased. Ho lived in the mountains
of Tennessee, and subsisted on raw fish
and herbs. A band of horsemen chased
him down, and caught him, but not until
he had, fighting with bis bands, gorilla
fashion, seriously wounded one of his
pursuers. Such is the story of the wild
man. The amount of his salary is not
stated, and he is not to be brought 1'iast
until after election.
BAD FOR BOYS.
Fiom tho Detroit Free Tress.
A rat of a boy who had in vain searched
the purt otlice enridora for the nickel
which a ca-cleas hand occasionally drops
at tho stmp clerk's window, yesterday
took his position belere a chestnut stand
on Oriswold street and eyd the Iresb nuts
a long timo before drawing a deep sigh
aod grosni d:
"Oh, I wish I was rich!
Tho chestnut roaster made no reply, and
the "dor of tho tontin nuts dually in
duced the boy to inquire:
"Are chestnuts health)?"
"No, bub they are prolific of indiges
tion," was the reply.
Altera while the boy thought it ' was
limn to remark:
Did joii ever hear the story of the man
who gave a poor boy a handtid ol chest
nuts, and when the boy grew up and sot
rich he rewarded the old man with a dia
mond pin and a four horse teuml"
"No, I never did; but I heard of the man
wlio brought a poor boy to the edge of the
grave bv giving him a dozen chestnuts,"
The boy look a turn up and down,
secured another snufl of the pleasant odor,
and then leaned over and whispered:
"If I'll take the chances on the edge ol
the crave business will 50a take tbs
Obanocsno the chestuutsl" ..'
The render finally thought he would.
