How He Moved.

A little lad, whose family have anticipated the Ist of May, was seen yesterday personally conducting the transference of his own private and personal belongings. He moved in a large toy wheelbarrow, which contained, as he rolled it briskly along the sidewalk, several sets of blocks, a wooden cow with a broken leg, a model of the Eiffel tower in silver cardboard, two dozen or more tattered picture books, half a dozen gayly painted wooden tops, a “pigs in clover” puzzle,” a red and green Japanese butterfly kite, an elephant with hide of gray canton flannel, a locomotive and train of tin cars, with joints somewhat dislocated, a foot-ball, some roller skates and various other treasures, over which towered high in the air a bright canvas-covered sign purloined from some small dealer’3 booth at a summer picDie, urging humanity at large, and all passers-by in particular, to smoke a certain brand of cigarette, drink a certain variety of beer and shoot the doll baby at so many shots for a nickel. The lad felt Jiimself a man of many possessions. —New York Recorder.
