Ski Shut t’Js * >\r Mr. Nobody. I know a funny little man, At quiet as«a mouse, Who does the mischief that is done In everybody s house, There’s no one ever sees his face, And yet we all agree. That every plate we break was crackec ■ By Mr. No-bod-ee. ’Tie he who tears our books, ' Who ’eaves our doors ajar; He pulls the buttons from our shirts, And scatters pins afar, Tha t sq ueak ing door will alway s squeal) For, prithee, don't you •see, We leave thewiling to be done By Mr. No-bod-ee. The finder upon the doors, By none of us are made; . We never have the blinds unclosed, To let the curains fade; The ink we never spill; the boots That lying round you see, Are not our boots! They belong To Mr. No-bod-ee.

How Alick Shot the Panther. lam going to tell you a true •tory of some children I knew when I lived in Texas. - Alick was ten years old, Mary was eight, and little Etta wa« only four. They had lost their father and mother, but had a big brother Frank, and the best sister in* the world, Sallie; and she took just as good care of them as their own dear mother could have done. They lived far off in Western Texas, on the edge of a wide prairie. Do you know what a prairie is? Just think how it would look if you could see nothing on either side of you but one great field of waving grass and beautiful flowers reaching away, away, far away to where the blue sky seems to bend down and touch it. That is a prairie. • Well, brother Frank’s fields ■were on the prairie*;, but the loghouse in which they lived was in the edge of the woods that bordered it. The trees were not such as yon know about. They were live-oaks, which stay green all winter; pecans, which bear the nicest nnts; dogwood, with large white flow ers; holly with glossy, leaves and bright red berries ; and, best of all, the stately magnolia, which is almost too grand to talk about in a small magazine like this. There was a great magnolia growing by a spring not far from the house; and this was the place where the children liked best to play. One bright Saturday afternoon, they had gone to the spring as usual, to have a nice time, ami Sallie was busy making a jacket for Alick, when suddenly the little boy came rushing into the house, and seized his brother s gun which stood in the corner. “0 Alick!” cried Sallie, “how often must you be told not to touch that gun.” “Can't help it this time, sister Sallie; there is a big panther up in our tree, and I’m bound to shoot him.” "But where are Mar/- and Etta ?’’ “Oh ! they are down there looking him right in the eye, so that ho may not go off till I get hack.” He was running with all his might as he spoke. Poor Sallie! her heart seemed to stand still; but it was no time to faint. She caught up the horn with which she used to call Frank to dinner, and blew a blast which she knew he would understand to mean danger. Then she wrote on the door in large letters, “Zb the spring gwicAf;”and followed Alick with all the speed that love and fear could lend her. The boy reached the spot a little before her. When she came in sight, there was the frightful beast stretched out on a bough of the tree, growling low, and looking down with fiery eyes at the little girls who stood hand in hand gazing steadily up at him, and never thinking of the danger. Bang, went the gun, and the 1 panther fell to the ground. Presently Frank arrived. Sallie Irad sunk down at the foot of the tree, clasping the little girls. Alick stood looking at his prize; and you may be sure lie got plenty of praise; only he was told that he should never again leave his sisters alone in the woods to keep guard over a pauther.— -The Nursery. ■" “How mlny genders are there ?’ asked a schoolmaster. Three, air," promptly replied iittltf blue eyes, “masculine, feminine, and neuter.” “Pray, give me an example of each,” said the master. “Why. yon are n>u*culiiie, because you are a man. and I feminine, liecause lam a girl." “Very well. Proceed.” “1 don’t know,” said the little girl, “but,l reckon Mr. Jenkins is neuter, as he is ui old bachelor.” .... > lira. Parsßgton has been reading the health officers’ weeely rejrorts and thinks, "total” must be an awful malignant disease, since as many died of it as all the rest pwt together.
