From Our Young Folks.
“ SOFIEBODY.”
BY “'IIJJA.“ ALLEN BUTLER.
There’s a meddlesome “Somebody” going about,
And playing his prunkb. but we can't find him out;
He’s up stairs and down stairs from morning till night!
And always in mischief but never in sight.
The re use I have read of in song or in tale
Arc ca ht at. the end and conducted to jail; .
But “Seinebody’s” tracks are covered so well
He never has seen the inside of a cell.
Our young folks at home, at all seasons and times,
Are rehearsing the roll of “Somebody’s” crimes;
Or fast astheir feet and tongues can well run,
Come to tell the last deed the sly scamp has done.
“ ‘Somcbody’ has taken my knife,” one will say;
“ ‘Somebody’ has carried my pencil away”;
“ ‘Somebody’ has gone and thrown down all the blocks;
“ ‘Somcbody’ ate up all the cakes in the box.”
It is “Somebody” breaks all the pitchers and plates, -
And hides the boys' sleds, and runs off with their
skates,
And turns on the water, fill-ll tumbles the beds,
And steals all the pins, and melts all the dolls’ head.-
One night a dull sound like the thump of a head
Announced that one youngster was out of his bed;
And he said, half-asleep, when asked what, it meant,
“ ‘SOmebody’ is pushing me out of the tent 1"
Now if these high crimes of “Somebody” don’t ccase’
We must summon in the detective police;
And they, in their wisdom, at once will makc known.
The culprit belongs to no house but our own.
Then should it turn out, after all, to be true,
That our young folks themselves are “Somebody” too,
How queer it would look, if we saw them all go
Marched off to the station-house, six in a row!
_
A CHANGE OF THE MOON.
A plain, clever man. is my neighbor Gray,
‘And we often take counsel together;
He lives in a farm house over the way,
And is wise in respect to the weather;
Iic watches all signs, night, morning, and noon,
But pins his great faith on a change of the moon.-
In the dull, drizzly May, when the signs were all bad,
And, day after day, it kept raining-—
When the farmers were sad, and the women were mad
And all the wfd 3 w;rld were complaining—
Farmer Gray went on piping the very same tune,
“it will never be clear till a change of the moon."
I admired his great faith, for the wind blew strong
From icebergs and isles of the ocean;
The moon had changed thrice, while ‘the storm kept
along,
But my neighbor still stuck to his notion; ,
At length, it cleared up, near the coming of J une—
Two days and a half from the change of tne moon!
In the long'snmmer drouth, when the springs had’ run
. dry.
Not a Sign of a rain cloud appearing,
Neighbor Gray, who knew the wherefore and why,
Spakc out. and his accents were cheering,—
“We are bound to have different weather soon. ,
For to-morrow, you know, there’s a change of the
moon.”
I sit by his fire in the sharp winter night,
When the glass below zero is ranging,
- My neighbor instructs me, with honest delight,
(For his faith in the moon is unchanging.)
That a thaw will set in by Saturday noon,
For just at that time comes a change of the moon.
Heat and cold, wet and dry, or what ever the grief
Under which our poor earth may be lying,
Neighbor Gray knows the source whence must come
our relief—
No use of this groaning and slghing;
He tells all he meets that the change will come soon—
“We must wait, my dear friends, till a change of the
moon." '
He cares not a jot for the college or school,
And passes their doings unheeded;
Still he holds by the old philosophical rule,
To name no more causes than needed;
‘And, as one is enough, the rest let us pruen,
And make all things proceed from a change in the
moon.
I—-_------
JEROME FENWICK’S CURE.
—— a
“Don’t go out to night, Jerome—stay with
me! Oh, J eromei It is lonely when you
are away 1” The little kitchen had been
swept and secured until every board shone
like ivory—the red moreen curtains were
drawn over the tiny paned windows, and
the great chestnut logs in the fireplace were
singing and Simmering and bursting into
scarlet Sheets of flame, with capricious ulter-
nations. There was no costly fresco on
Walls—merely acheap paper where gigan-
tic pink roses burst into unaccountable
bloom among green tendrils of a stiff peavine;
but the wooden clock was framed in the coral
berries of the bittersweet, and a little Christ-
mas cross of hemlock sprigs and black ivy
yet hung between the two windows, while
Rosa Fenwick’s monthly roses and scented
geraniums tossed their delicate blossoms
among the red peppers and bunches of pen-
nyroyal and catnip on the smoked browned
mantel above the chimney.
For Rosa, our heroine, was nothing more
dignified than a farmer’s wife. Aye, but a
farmer’s wife in this our Nutmeg State, is, it
must be remembered, queen consort to a
popular sovereignty—and Rosa was as fit to
wear the royal robes as any princess of the
blood. She was quite tall, with pale brown
hair, and eyes of the clear vivid blue that
puts you in mind of sunshine after a rain,
while the delicate color on hei- ehecks rival-
led the monthly roses above. Her dress was
plain and simple—a dark brown calico, ruf-
fled at the wrists, and relieved by a narrow
linen collar with a tiny black apron tied
trimly around her graceful waist.
Jerome Fenwick, a tall, stalwart young
fellow of some seven .or eight and twenty,
hit his lip, as Rosa kept urging;
“ Stay with me this evening—only this
once.”
“Nonsense, Rosa ; how ridiculous you are.
A man can’t stay at home forever.”
“But you were outlast night and'ihc night
before.” .
“Well what then? Now, my love, don’t.
you see how very absurd it is to expect me
to be always dangling at your apron strings;
I tell you that I’m going down to the Colum-
bian, to look at the papers and talk over the
news!” ' ,
“To the Colombian!” echoed Aunt Try-
pliosia Fenwick, suddenly appearing out of
the subterranean depths of a trap door, very
much, a la ghost upon the stage, only'that
slie bore a pan of glossy red apples in one
hand and brandished a formidable knife in
the other.
“Ah—h-h-hl you’re going to the Colombian
be ye, Jerome Fenwick f” '
“Yes, I am—and what then ?” returned the
young man, a Spice of sullen defiance begin-
ning to mingle with the playful tone he had
assumed toward his wife. ~
“And I s’posc you’re coming back stupide
than a fool, as you came last night—or per-
haps you’re comin’ with Peter Siryker at
your head and Sam Gurney at your heels
as you came last week: pretty doings these,
for a feller that hain’t been married a year
ct.” .
y “Dear Jerome,” pleaded Rosa, looking up
through her sparkling tears, “please do not
go out to-night.” '
“What d’yc s’poae you’re comin’ to,” went
on Aunt Trypliosu, digging away at the ap—
ples as spitefully as‘if they had been a mod-
ern Marsyas, and she a spectacled Apollo;
“p’raps you have forgot how Pilkingham
'fi'oze to death, a year ago Come February,
down by the hemlock holler, with the snow
two feet deep on the ground. He’d read the
papers 'and talked over the news ! He’d
been to the Colombian, too! And mebbe
you don’t remember how Josiah Hopkins
went off in delirious tremens last June, all
along ’0 that same Colombian. He hadn’t
no pretty young wife at home to cry her eyes
out arter his good-for—notbin' bones though
Josiah Hopkins hadn’t, Ob," ejaculated
Aunt Tryphosa, emphatically, “I wish the
Maine Law was enforced. Better stay at
home, Jerome Fenwick, afore bad comes to
worse !” .
Jerome’s brow flushed and his face became
crimson.
“I shall do precisely as I please, Aunt
Tryphosa. Where’s my hat ?”
distance.
é.duties I owe to society.
“Tan’t for myself I’m speakin," wcnton
the wrutliful old lady,” though you be my
brother’s son. It’s for Rosa! Do you s’posc
night artor night intoxicated as a fool?
Good land '0 Goslicn! if I was Rosa, I’d go
down to the Colombian too, and drink ’long
with you. .SllC'S got as good a right to be a
fool as you have! Ilow’d you like that, Je-
ronic Fenwick ‘1’”
He went out giving 'tliC door an uncon-
scious bang that made the cat start in her
cosy corner of the red brick hearth, and
brought a fresh torrent of tears to Rosa’s
blue eyes.
“011, Aunt Tryphosa,” Slie sobbed, hiding
her face in the good spinster’s lap, “what
shall we do? He is being ruined—and I—
I liavc no power to hold him back.”
“Sui-ye him right! iiil obstinate fool!” mut-
tered the irate Old lady. Yet even while
the words were on her lips, the bony fingers
caressed Rosa’s hair with strangely living
touch.
“For. your sake, Rose! I’m vcxcd,for your
sake, my pretty one i"
“If I had but known—yet lie was so dif-
ferent in the days when we used to take
those twilight walks, the days before we
were married. .My husband n.drunkard!
Oh, Aunt Tryphosu! I would sooner we
were both in our graves !”
“Don’t talk so, pct," murinercd Aunt Try-
phosa, taking ofi‘ her dimmed Spectacles.
“The Lord knows what’s for us all, but—"
“Hush!” ejaculated Rosa, springing to her
feet, “I hear the gate click l—Aunt Tryphosa
he has thought better of it! he has come
back!”
NO; the slight, fair, almost girlish lool i ig
young fellow in thc,lieutenant’s uniform was
not J cromc Fenwick—and there was a touch
of bitterness even in the welcoming tears
that Rosa poured out on the breast of the
soldier brother shc.ha(l not seen for three
long years.
“ Hallo !" exclaimed Charley Warner.
“Why I thought you were so happy, Rosa.
And where’s my new broilicr-in-law ?"
“He—lie is not at home,” sobbed out Ro-
sa. “Oh, Charley I am very, very misera-
blel” .
“Wcll,tliis is a queer welcome,” quoth the
lieutenant, sitting down'in front of' the blase
of chestnut logs, and drawing Rosa up on
his knee, “nOw tell me all about it—and
somebody hold my hands tight, for I feel
very much like giving my unknown brothcr~
in-law a good tbrhsbing, before I know any-
thing of the merits of the case.” '
“Well—I reckon its about time for me to
be moving,” said Jerome.
Now Jerome Fenwick was none the worse
for the frequent libations in which he indulg-
ed; at least not in his own opinion. For he
had firmly resolved, on entering the green
bnizc doors Of the “Colombian Hotel,” not to
drink too much, and lie fancied he had kept
the resolution. Only—to be sure, the sand-
ed floor did surge to and fro a little—and the
great logs in the chimney changed places
with the door in the most unaccountable
manner, and the voices around him now
sounded close to his ear, and now far away,
as if the speakers were receding into dim'
Yes, Jerome Fenwick with very
wide open eyes, and a turbid amiability up-
on his features, reiteratcd to himself “that lie
was all right—as right as a trivct."
“Because you see,” soliloquized Jerome
aloud, “I am a married man—and—and—
I can’t be drunk
because—”
He caught at the arm of his chair as it
seemed to give a sudden lurch, ceilingwaril.
“I guess I will go back to Rosa.”
In the some instant a Sudden electric thrill
seemed to send the hot blood back to his
heart. Rosa! yes, it was her voice, Speak-
ing in 015 bar-room beyond. Her voice—and
in what words!
“A glass of of gin—sling—and be quick
about it. Pshaw! none of of your dishwuter
compounds! make it hot and strong, man i"
“Mrs. Fenwick !” ejaculated mine host, in
dismay.
“Yes—Mrs. Fenwick—what are you star?
ing at? My husband is here, isn’t he? and
I’ve come to keep him company. I’m tired
of staying at home by myself. If lie is go-
ing to make a regular practice of getting
drunk here, why he may as well do it in his
Wife’s company—and I’ll be drunk too !”
“Rosa.” .
“Yes, my dear. Good evening-to you gen-
tlemen,” she said, nodding to the staring.
assemblage and taking a long draught,
Upon my word, this feels warming after the
night air. You are right; it is better than
crouching over the fire at home. You are
right my dear—you’re always right, and
hereafter I’m going to follow your example.”
“Rosa are you mad? Come home, child,"
whispered Jerome, in an agony of mortified-
tion.
“Another glass, landlord l” ejaculated the
amazon, giving Jerome a push with her cl-
bow, “I did not know it was so good. Try
a taste of it, Jerome ‘3” ~
“Rosa, I command- you to coine away.”

, She paused suddenly, the two glasses of
fiery liquor apparently beginning to tell on
her feminine brain. Her head fell on her
breast, the blue eyes started stonily into space
and the arms fell heavily at her side.
“She’s gone!" exclaimed Joe Hyde who
had watched the crisis with interest.
“I will trouble you to mind your own busi-
ness, air, if you please,” returned Jerome
hauglifily. Ah,‘lllS pride was touched to (be
quick now. “Clark Tiffany, will you help
me to carry my—my wife home? She is
quite unable to walk. Good heavens that I
should have lived to see this day. 1";
“Clark Tiffany advanced with a subdued
grin upon his face, to assist his boon com-
panion. Butd't was no easy task they had
undertaken. Never was so totally limp and
heavy burden before; from the tip of the
pink worsted hood to the fur edged moccasin

“Abomination! Disgriiceful l” muttered
Fenwick. wiping his Steaming forehead.
“Just what you have done a dozen times

arm that supported the lcaden shoulders.

could be so heavy !"
' “Myself! Of course I have—more shame

-—and my wife !”
“I don’t know that it is any worse for a
women than a man,” said Tiffany; “only it’s
not customary."
“One thing is certain,” said Fenwick, after
a moment’s silence, and his tone was full of
dwp passionate earnestness, “ after this
night’s work, I will cut off my right hand
before I- will enter that accursed bar room.
I’ve drank my last liquor.
“That—that’s not fair !” slowly muttered
the burden. “Just when I’ve begun to en.

As he spoke the red, flickering stream of
light from the moreen curtaiiicd window
glanced athwart their path.
“Home at last i" he exclaimed, with an ac-
cent of relief“, as Aunt Tryphosa flung open
the door. _
The fire was blazing brightly, the cat was

' “Where else Should I be,Jerome," demand-
ed Mrs. Fenwick, with exemplary calmness.
“Do we live in the age of Witchcraft? Am
I dreaming, or am I'wide awake and in full
possession of my ordinary senss ?" exclaim-
ed Fenwick, turning to the limp figure on
the kitchen settee.
No longer limp however. It had sudden-
ly risen up, straight and vigorous’as a young
pine and throwing back the gingham drape-
ries and pink worsted hood, stood before
them in the uniform ofa federal lieutenant.
“At your service, Mrs. Fenwick,” said
Charley \Vnrner, with dancing eyes and de-
fiant brow.
“Rosa,” said J eromc, still bewildered, who
is this ‘3" .
.It is my brother, J crome—my brother,

please—indeed I couldn’t stop him—he
would go, and Aunt Tryphosa encouraged

' “Well I am heartily glad it is not my wife!”
said Jerome, extending his hand. “Wel'

you have been concerned during the three

“But he has though i” interposed Lieuten-

the smouldering chestnut. “I bear witness
that he has this night solemnly pledged him-

it so, you friend, that so kindly held up In

“Well I thought you were rather heavy,”
acknowledged Clark Tiffany. “But no of-
fence, sir, but I really don’t' see how your
head stands those tWo glasses of gin.”
“Ali, that’s because I’ve been in the army,”
responded Lieutenant Warner, with ,cliurm-

“Don’t mind, Charley; it’s only because,
I’m so happy.”
“Happy, eh? Well, it isn’t my way ofex-
pressing happiness,” observed Warner.
“And Aunt Tryphosa is crying too! well,
I’ve read a good may puzzles in my day, but
a woman is the most unaccountable of ’cm

Lieutenant Warner did not know that up-
on that bright flood of tears, all Rosa Fen-

were swept away into the past. She was
crying only because she was happy.

TACTICS AND 0x DnIvING—The other day
passing along Military street in front of the
courthouse, we saw u one-armed ex-Cou-
federatc soldier standing by his wagon and
team of oxen. All at once the maimed sol-
dier, with the fire of battle not entirely gone .
from his eye, straightened himself up, as-
suming the military stillness of old Gen.
Buggies when calling his courier for a pipe
of tobacco, whirled his long whip graceful-
ly in the air, and Shouting in the hoarse
voice of command:
“Attention, battalion l”
Proniptly, with the word, the six steers
rose from their recumbent attitude, Shook
their dusky flanks and took the position of
the soldier.
Again the clarion voice: .
“Forward—march !” and the trained
animals moved ofi‘, not with a great deal of
time in keeping step, ’tis true, but under-
stood thc command perfectly.
Then not satisfied with the pace “at will”
of his troops, the incorrigible “ rcb” thun-
dered out:

J OiiN IIOWAED AND HIS SON—Few men
have been more truly good than J obn' How-
ard, and he knew how to “let his light Shine”
to all the nations of the earth. But he had
not the art of rendering virt lC attractive to
his only son. Living as he did, under a con~
stunt and awful sense of unseen realities of
another world; he undervalued the charms of
this, and felt that man’s only business here is
to prepare for hereafter. . He dwclt‘ upon
those truths too exclusively. For him—a
man who had outlived youth, whose only
joy was to do good by self-denying and per-
ilous toil, a lonely old widower, too—those
austere conceptions of duty were satisfying
and comforting. How repulsive must they
have been to a young man, 'abonnding in
spirits, eager for enjoyment, and possessing
superabundant means of gratifying every
desire! What a pity his father could- not
have sympathized with his youth, and en;
noblcd his pleasures by skating in them!
I have frequently observed how similar
habits and scruplcs tend to divide young
people from their elders, making in each
family two distinct ClaSSCS,OilC of which for-
swears all pleasure, and the other cares for
nothing but pleasure, cucii bitterly ceiisnring
the other. A sight more melancholy than
this, a state of things more demoralizing than
this, i have never beheld; 'liccnuse we see
