JOIN.
I stand behind his elbow chair,
My soil, hand rests upon his hair.—
Hair whose silver is dearer to me
Than all the gold of earth could be;
And my'eyes of brown
Look tenderly down
On John, my John.'
The firefight leaps, and laughs and warms-—
Wraps us both in its ruddy arms—
John, as he sits in the hearlhglow red,
.Me with my hands on his dear old head—
Encircling us both .
Like a ring of truth.
Me and my John.
His form has lost its early grace.
Wrinkles rest on his kindly face;
His brOw no longer is smooth and fair‘.
For time has lent its autograph there;
But a noble prize in my loving eyes
Is John, my John. '
“‘My love," he says, and lifts his hands
" Brown-ed by the suns of other lands,
In tender clasp on mine to lay ;
“How long ago was our wedding day?”
I smile through my tears .
And Say “Years and years,
My John, dear John.”
We say no'more‘, the firelight glows;
Both of‘us muse, on what—'who knows?
My hands drop 'down in a mute caress—_ .
Each throb of my heart is a wish to bless
With my wife’s best worth
The heart and the hearth
Of John, my John. '
Geography on horseback.
Little Jack Joy came crying home from
school one day, flung his books into the
farthest corner of the kitchen, threw himself
on the floor and cried aloud. The teacher
had punished him again for imperfect les-
sons. No wonder. He was enough to ruin
the disposition of a regiment of school
teachers, for he would not study and he
would play all the time until ten minutes
before recitation, and then, of course, he
had very imperfect lessons.
His mother hadgonc to see a sick neigh-
bor, and his sister Lettie had gone to stay
an hour with Bell Gray, so he had the
kitchen all to himself. He would scarcely
have thrown his books on the floor if his
mother'Jiad been at home.
There was a mouse-hole behind the closet
door, and presently a mouse peeped out to
see what Was the matter. Jack still lay sob-
‘ bing‘on the floor. , '
“Books are not very good to eat, I dare
say,” thought the mouse, “or Jack would
not throw them away.” ' I
He nibbled a little at the corner. ,
"This is remarkable nice for a nest,” he
said to himself. “I wonder Jack does not
make a nest of-it. I thiiil will take some
home to my wife." ‘- ‘ . . -
Mice never seem to set a high,‘ value
upon-hooks. I presume they are not at all
competent to judge ‘of their merits; who
was not so much to blame for trying 'his
sharp little teeth upon the “,leavcs. I have
often seen boys do the same. ‘
He was wondering how much of the nib-
blings he could carry away at a time, when
he was greatly startled by the sound of a
horse’s hoofs just over his head. It was the
little Highlander‘s pony upon the cover of
the geography {impatiently pawing the
ground. His ears were laid back, as though
he was very much disturbed at the mouse‘s
operations. The mouse retreated a few
steps, and paused, and the little rider, said,
politely. ' ,
“lspresume yen are not aware, Mr. Mouse,
that these are my premises. There is a
piece Of paper you can make your nest of.”
The mouse was so overwhelmcd'with sur-
prise‘ and dismay that he could only stam-
mer out some sor’of an apology, which
' Sounded like a discomfited. squeak, and
slunk aWay to his hole in great c , usion.
Then the Highlander started off on a
center up 'and down the rOom, his plaid
tartan flapping behind like a banner. Pres-
ently he paused directly in front of the
troubled schoolbOy, raising his cap and
looking its if he wanted to speak with him.
Then Jack thought it was all a dream,
but often one can scarcely tell whether he
is awake or dreaming. Jack rubbed his
eyes, but still the small horseman sat there'
gravely holding his cap, in his hand.
“Well, I declare! you are a comical little
fellow,” said the boy, in great wonder; “did
you come all the way from Lilliput to see
meI y" I - '
The strange visitor shook his head.
“I am not IfrOm Lilliput at all ; don’t you,
know .me ‘2”
“By King Harry l I believe'I’ve seen you
before. Aren’t you the picture on the cover
of geography ?" ~ . ' .
“To be sure; but who’s King Harry?
I’v seen all the'kings on, the earth, but—”
“0h, never mind; that was some of my
nonsence. Can I do anything-fer you ?”
“I wanted to tell you that you should be
a little more careful; you hurt‘ my head
pretty badly against the door.” I
Jack got up on his elbow. .
“Let me get'you the camphor.”
“Oh no. I only want to know why you
dislike me so much." . . .
“Dislike you! I don’t. I think you are
the nicest little fellow I have seen this long
time. But you don’t know .how 'I .hate
geography. If you’ll believe it} this is the
fifth day I’ve-had that same lesson about
mountains, lakes and rivers, and. hav’nt
got it yet,"
“I know it. And haven't I been sitting
here, day after day, waiting to help you get
ii 1’" 1n ,
“Well, this is a joke, now. I thought you
were printed on the book cover just to
make the hook look pretty, and to make us
boys think geography was something fine."
“No, indeed. I sit there to help boys get
their lessons." ' '
. “Then for pity's sake w
me get mine ?”
“Oh, I can only assist scholars who have
a desire to learn; and you—-”. - .
“Yes, yes;Iknow- all about it. I don’t.
suppose I cared much whether I got my
lessons or not.” . . '
“No; when a boy is {shelling heechnuts,
or reading Gulliver's Travels under the
desk, with his book open to make the teach-
er think he is studyin-r. I take it for grant-
ed he don’t care much about his lessqns.”
“But I do care now; and it‘puwill only
help me about mountains, lakes and rivers,
I will do better."
“Will you really try ?”
“Yes, I will.” '
“That’s enough—boys can do almost any-
thing they try to; sojump up here behind
me." . ' .
"Get on your horse? You might as well
tell me to jump on the back of a mosquito.”
Oh, I forgot; .you must have the pills
first.”
“Pills? I don't wgnt any of your pills."
The little horseman made no reply, but
took from his bosom something that resem-
bled a heart; but upon touching a secret
spring it 'opened like a box, and he took
out three smail pills and gave them to Jack.
“Are they bitter ?" asked Jack. ,
“You may find them a little disagreeable,
though some think them quite pleasant.
They are Resolution, Patience and Perse;
verance. You cannot get along at all with-
out them.”
Jack SWnIIOWed them 'wiih a wry face,
for hé was not much used to such prescrip-
tions. He was immediately seized with a.
great desire to learn everything about
geography, and at the same time he became
as small as‘ the little Highlander himself,
So he quickly mounted behind him, crying
out. '
.-
hy didn't ygu help

Away they went, like the wind—like the
hurricane, the lightning. It quite took
Jack’s breath away, but his companion
chatted on very comfortably. . Ht; was used
to. it. At length they stopped upon a .high
eminence up among the CiOlldS-
“Look around,"said his guide, “and tell
me where you are.”
“Well,” he said, catching his breath, and
breathing very .fast, “I should think we
were on the top of a mountain; I can see
cities and rivers and the ocean and forests
dowu below.”
“What is a nioiintain, then i" .
“A mountain? Why, a, “mountain is a
high elevation of land,” Jack/ shouted in
great glee. “That’squestion number one.
But' what is that smoke coming out of the
top of that mountain about five thousand
inileg ofi', there? Is it a volcano ‘2”
“Of course it is. What is a volcano ?”
“A volcano is a burning mountain.”
That’s question number .two.‘ I heliae I
rather like geography. ‘But what’s the
name of this mountain ?,’
“This is Ben Lomond.” .
“Is it? Then we inust be in Scotland,
right where Fitz James and Roderick Dhu
had their famous sword fight. And 'that
big blue pond dOwn there among the trees
in Loch Lomond, I suppose? Loch means
lake, doesn’t it ?” '
“You are right. What is a lake ‘2”
“I guess you‘ve got me now. No; I have
it; alakc is a body of water surrounded ’by
land. And that zigzag stream, that looks
like a blue serpent, is a river, isn’t it ‘3”
“What is a river."
_ “A large stream of water flowing over the
land: ‘lt seems now as though I always
knew that lesson.” .
“You never took the trouble to think
about it beforc,‘perhaps.” I . '
“Well, I don’t think there is any need of
my getting so many floggings for; such an
easy and beautiful lesson as that. I’m
really very much obliged to you. You
wouldn't give me that feather in your cap
to remember you by, I‘ suppose 1’"
“No not that; it‘is a feather from the
right wing ofthc phoenix, and is a script
charm or talisman which enables me to go
from place to place with such rapidity.
But here is a leaf from the Tree of Knowl-
edge, which would do you far more gOod.
Carry it with you; and when you are at
study. inhale its fragrance now and then,
and your mind will. become fixed upon
learning.”
“How delicious! You must know a great
deal about the world, traveling about in
this way.”
“Yes, but nothing morethan you can
learn from yourbooks with farless trouble.”
“What’s that ?” cried Jack, in alarm, as a
huge, fierce-looking monster came flying
toward them. ' ' ,
“Why, its my friend Arithmetic,” au-
swered the Highlander, “but he seems in a
savage mood 10-day.” -
Jack thought of all the stories he had
read of dragons and other flying bugaboos,
wings of the monster were made of curious-
ly woven examples in addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division, and on his
breast were the nine digits in gorgeous
colors. His scarf formed a banner, on
which was displayed the motto, “Arithme-
tic is the science of numbers.” He wore 'a
most ferocious aspect, and carried a war
club, upon which was painted, in flaming
red, “Knowledge is power.” As soon as he
came within speaking distance, he cried
out: .
“I’ll teach you to throw me about in that
way again, Master Jack Joy! I’ve been on
your trace ever since I came to my senses,
Take that! hitting him violently -on the
head with a club, upon which Jack seemed
to fall from the top of Ben Lomond, down
through interminable space, quite through
the earth’s center, till he found himself
lying upon the floor ofhis mother’s kitchen,
and his sister. Lettic holding a geranium
ieafto his nose, which very much resem-
bled in odor the leaf of the Trcc'of Knowl-
edge his new friend had given him.
“How that fellow hurt me I” he said, rub:
bing his head. .
“I’m so sorry,” said his sister: “I didn’t-
mcan to. Butjust see my little kitten that
Bell's mothergave me. I was running -to
catch her, and hit my copper tipped‘shoe
right against your head. And only look
how the mice have nibbled your nice new
geography! they won’t do it_ any more,
Will they kitty ?”—The Children’s Hour.
A NICE LITTLE BROTHER.f-A little brother
is sometimes more agreeable when he be-
comts an angel over yonder. Ourfriend
Parker knows a certain little brother whom
he would gladly waft at once over to the
surd prejudice against premeditated murder.
Young- .Pnrkcl‘ loved Miss Clamm, the
sister of the said babe, and a few evenings
ago he called upon the young lady for the
purpose of proposing to her. . 'They sat up-
'on the sofa' in the front parlor, alone. As
the evening wore on, Parker plucked up
courage, nudged over to Miss Clamm’s side
of the sofa and began some preliminary rc-
iuarks about his “eternal happiness,” his
etc. Just as he had taken ‘Miss Clamm’s
little hand in his, and was about to explain
himself, a terrific sneeze was heard beneath
the sofa. "Parker and Clamm both sprang
to their feet. Parker dragged the sofa away
from the wall, and there lay young Clamm,
snickering and chuckling as if ,he had rich
things stored away in his memory. And
when Miss Clamm flew at him and boxed
his cars he remained silent; but escaping,
he ran to the door, and standingtherc with
his hand. on the knob, he observed :
“Never you mind I I’m going to tell ma—
certuinl And you just wait till pa comes
home, and if he don’t boot that 'Purker
outen the front door quicker’u lightn‘n my
name’s not William Henry Clamm. Oh!
he’d go for you, mister.” l' '
And then W H. Clamm faded into the
entry. Parker and Clamm have not. yet
agreed to consolidate. '

But I see many couples that started as well,

With the ginger and pepper let! out.

And a will like yours and mine;
And that she has Night to her say in things
That naturally fall in her line.

Every time you give her a cent
Don’t. ask her to give you a strict account
Of the way' it’s going to be spent.
She’s the woman you loved and sparked as
a gal;
SOMETHING NEW!

the scene, the building took fire in several
places, but it was happily extinguished. The
scene was most fearful. Twelve persons
were killed outright, and about fifty injured.
About two hundred and fifty persons were

not larger, when we consider the number

“No, sir,” replied the agent; “you have
your ticket and I have the money for it, and
if you want a.ticket over the. other route,

stranger twisted his ticket into a small roll;
-very serenely he drew from under his right

ofa mountain howitzer; coolly anddelib.
