[For the Samoan]
It Might Have Been.
BY HOMER N. BURNING.
One autumn day I aw a leaf
Fall sore and withered from the tree.
And heard the wind. as if in grluf.
Its death-dirge moaning plteously
in the dead lent I seemed to find
Symboled the death of hopes once green:
. And in the and wall of the wlnd
I caught the sigh: " It might have been '."
It might have been all it is not;
It is a thing to dlc and rot.
it might have been It swelling bud.
Rosy with hues of promise fair:
.\ flower abloom. pouring lts flood
or fragrance on the summer air;
.\ fruit mellowlug with hauled juicc.
Rounding its ripe and golden course:
.\ thing of beauty and of use— -
A glory in God‘s universe.
it might have bccn-but leaves arc loan-«2
Man is a hclng that yearns and grim-vs.
it might have been I l turned to twc
The place where guew the fallen lcnf
And at its base upon the tree,
I found a solace for my grief:
.\ tiny bud! ha] must hold
Within a germ ready 16 shoot.
When apring should come to loose its fold.
And bcnr ncxt summcr‘s flower and fruit.
Ah. leave:- must die, and hen-rm must gfl. w.
Tlmt fruits may grow. and souls may thrixe
It might linu- hccn I 'tiu thc vnln wall

( A PLEA FOR SMALL BOYh.
Not for those miniature men, whom we
see almost every day saunter-lug along. kid-
ded and caued in exact imitation of their
elders, whose behaviour is always the quin-
tessence of propriety, and whose possibilities

ating: no. for if I had anything to say of
them, it would be to condemn those parents
whose system of compression and repression
—mis-named “home training"—ls sending
out upon the world a clms of somlled men,

of that title, yet cling to childish things; and

Locked in 'a Freight-Car.
Anhclevcn year old boy of Biughamtou
City, N. Y., named Clarence Shanks, was
made the involuntary hero of the most re-
markable adventure 9. dav or two since. ‘He
lives with his parents there, and was sent
on an errand on Friday last, with instruc-
tions to return home immediately. Being a
good sud obedient boy, his parents naturally
became alarmed when evening drew near,
and he had not. yet returned. Messengers
were disputched in every direction, streams
were dragged, and every means takén to
obtain a trace of the missing boy—all to no
purpose. The search was kept up all night,
and then given up «in despair by the rela-
tives and friends. The mother of the boy
was almost crazed at his disappearance, and
her situation was becoming alarming, whgu, ‘

and hips as the consequence. Scratches on
different parts of his person, and the pres-
ence of ugly looking splinters, also tatify
to the character of his experience on this,
part of his journey. The train, he says,
stopped once before it made the stop when
he was discovered, and he did all in his
power to attract the attention of some one
about the station. He shoutedpounded on the
sides of the car, and fairly sbn'eked for assist-
ance, but without the desired effect. and he
was once more rolling and bumping about
the car, on his way he knew not where.
The train finally stopped again, and the
young prisoner ascertained, from the move-
ments about the station, that some cars were
to be switched out of the train, and he says
he prayed that his car might be one of them.
His car was one of them, and when it was
placed on the switch, he succeeded, after
lying there about an hour, in attracting the
attention of a man who was passing the car.
He opened the door, and upon seeing the
poor boy, covered with dust, in whitebait:
tears had cut deep mica; down the boy’s
cheeks, brutally demanded, “ What the 11—1
you doin’ here ‘3” Choking with gobs, the
little fellow told his story, only to be infom-
cd that " he‘d better dig out, (1—1) quick!“
He then went to the depot building, and
asked a boy what place he was in, and how
far it was from Binghamton. The boy eyed
him suspiciously a moment, and then told
him he was in Barton, about thirty—five mild:
from Binghamton. It was after dark, and
lllC unfortunate Clurcnce was in an entirely
straingc placc. without a cent to purchase a
worse] to eat or pay his way back home,
Morcover, the cruel rebuff of the trackmau
had disheartened him, and he could not
summon courage to ask assistance of any
onc. He obtained information of the boy
who had told him where he was as to a road
which went in the direction of Bighamton,
and, m a time of night when he would have
bccn quietly sleeping in bed if home, he
started on his way tothc city, where his 320-
nizcd parents were searching in all direc-
tions for him. He had no dinncr or sup-
per, and the pangs of hunger began to assail
him. Thesc bc satisfied as well as he could
by outing of the corn which he put in his
pockets in the morning, which act had
placed him in his present unenvinblc situa-
tion. After walking about two hours, and
passing many houses where he could
scc 1110 Cherry lights, and children playing
within, bringing the hurtling tears afresh to
his eyes, his strength began to fail him, and
[to knew he must lie down somewhere and
sleep. It was very cold, and he was almost
numb with exposure. Coming to a house
where it seemed kind people must be, he
mudc up his mind to go in and beg a supper
and a bed for the night. His hand WE on
the gatedutcb, when a fierce watch-dog
came bounding at him, and frightened him
away. About a mile further on he came to
n farm-house near to which, along the road
was a small inclosure. in which was a hay-
sutck, and about it cattle feeding. The
altnmt frozen boy crawled into the bay, and,
although suffering from hunger, be soon fell
asleep. Ila awoke early Saturday morning,
and upon crawling to the ground he found
that his feet were frozen, and be was so
stifi‘cncd that. he could scarcely walk. No
one was stirring about the farmhouse. He
breakfastcd on raw com lie met wagons
on the road, but was overtaken by but two,-
and these were heavily loaded, and their
drivers walking, so he did not. ask for a
ride. He passed through many villages,
but although almost. frantic with hunger,
was not courageous to ask for a mouthful to
cut. All day long he journeyed along,
suffering intense physical and mental agony,
until just after dark he felt it. must be Bing
lmmton, and about seven o’clock he reached
his father's house, more dead than alive.
The boy tells his story in u very touching
manner. His extraordinary experience has
prostrated him on a bed of sickness, but he
is rapidly recovering. Did David Copper-
field‘s famous journey to his Aunt Betsey
Trotwood‘s ever before find so near a par-

A Japanese Romance.
Once upon a time there was in Japan a
poor stone-cutter, a simple workman in the
quarries. His life was rude, he worked
much, gained little and was not at. all con-
tented with his fate.
“ 0, if I could only be rich enough to rest,
to sleep on thick matting, wrapped up in a
kirmon of soft silk 3" Such was the sigh
he breathed to heaven. An angel intercepted
the sigh.
“ It shall be according to thy desire,” said
the angel to him. And he at once became
rich, and he rested, slept upon thick matting
and wrapped himself in a kit-non of very
soft silk.
It happened that the emperor passed by.
He was preceded by heralds on foot and
horseback, followed by a brilliant escort of
cavaliers and surrounded by pet-cons who
held over his head an immense parasol ne-
splendent. with gold.
“ What good does it. do me to be rich?”
murmured the man, “ as long as I lave hot
the right to go out with an escort, and my
head protected by a golden parasol! Why I
not. the emperor ?”
“ Thou shalt be,” said the angel.
And 'indwd he became the emperor. He
had an escort of cavalier! before and be-
hind him, and people who - held .zbove his
head an immense pumsol resplendent with
gold. -

dation; only a rock defied it, perfectly mo-
tionless. In vain the bellowing “ten but
it in their fury, the rock yielded not, but the
foaming waves died at its feet.
“ A rock, then, is my superior," said the
cloud; “ I would rather be in its phce.“
“ You shall be,” said the angel.
And he was transformed into a steep, un-
sboken rock, insensible to the rays of the
sun, indifferent to the torrents of min and
the shock of the tumultuous waves.
Nevertheless, be distinguished at his feet
a man of poor appearance, hardly clothed,
but armed with a chisel and hammer; and
the man, with the help of these instruments,
struck off piews of the rock, which he dram-
ed into stones proper for cutting.
“ What is that ‘2" cried the rock; “ has a
man the power of reading pieces of stone
from my breast? Shall I be weaker than he?
Then it. is absolutely necessary that I should
be that man."
“ Have your will," suit] the angel, and he
became again what, bé had been—u poor
stone—cutter, z simple workman in the qw-
rles. His life was rude, he worked much
and gained little, but he was content with
his lot.

A Child lather.
Mr. David G.” Adee, contributes to the
J annury number of Lippincott’s Magazine a
very interesting article on Types of Castil-
lian Vagrancy, from which we make the fol-
lowing extract: 'wgforox, a doc caurtm
(Matches, two cunt-Ids a box 1) Here is I
child-girl of about thirteen summers and a
half, with a tray of wax matches in tinted
boxes tied around her wuist. She is pretty,
has a nut-brown face, with rosy lips, white
teeth, heavenly eyes, and ample jet black
locks tumbling down her plump neck and
shoulders, like the raven tresses of maid
Marion. Her bust, bowcyer, is remarkably
developed for so young 3 girl, and instinct-
ively glmcing downward, we “ ken the rea-
son why." For at her feet, grubbing in the
dirt and not a whit cleaner, crawlsafat, ink-
eyed little urchin, all but nude, and chuck-
ling roisterously with the delight of having
just constructed with sum 3 model mud-
ple after the universal infantile receipt the
wide' world over, who glances up at its child-
motlter and glibly gabbles: “ Mnmita'.
mamlta !" with rogucish glee. Let us stop
and speak to this child—the mother-child I
mean—for an instant, and learn her story,
which is that of fallen womanhood every-
where. '
“ Little girl, 1 will buy a box of your
matches."
“ Muches gracias, senorito !"
“ How old are you Y"
“ I know not, senorito—perbaps a dozen
years.“
“ Are you married Y“
“ No, semrito.“
“ And yet that is your babe ?"
“ Si, senorlto—mine truly.“
“ find its father?"
The girl,half conscious—and only half, of
her fault—flashes her eyes full in our face
and drops them to the ground without a
blush: “ I do not know, senorito.“
“ Have you a lover?"
“ Si, senorito—Pedro."
" What data he work at 2’"
“ Pedro is a cabellero, (with dignity) and
does no work.”
“Is be rich then 2'"
“ Ab no senorito!"
“ Why, how does be live ‘:"
“ It is I sell matches, and earn enough for
both, and the baby."
“ What ! does' he not suppoqhis child and
you ?“
“ It is not his, senorita. I have known
Pedro but a year, and the little one is well
grown already. I was a street girl, senori-
“ How old is your child ‘5"
“Two years, senoritu"
“ And you were only eleven—." But
perceiving the futility of the question, we
stop and say instead, “ What. is its name ?"'
“ We call him Chico, senorito."
Chico means “ little one," and will an-
swer very .well. So we put the bobbing
curly head, drop a pacts in the tiny palm
for the little mother‘s sake, and move on
with a heavy heart. There are many
foundlings here. When they are exposed
they are turned over to sacristian or sexton
of the nearest church for disposition. He
stands a godfather at the christening by cus-
tom, and they are often named for him 8&-
crlstians so that there are multitudes of St
cristinns who are not sexton, but soldiers,
sailors, peasants, vagrant: “or bandits; but
how many such grace the community is un-
known, for statistics, like dead men, tell no
tales in Spain.
