OUR YOUNG FOLKS. The Ten Little Katydids. BY St. C. P. There were ten little katydids. Who lived beneath a vine, But one got choaked on cabbage leaves And so there were but nine. Among the nine little katydid Was one a busy pate. She ventured in a chicken coop, Then there were but eight. The eight llttl katydids Sang out till after 'leven, And one took cold upon her lungs. Then there were but seven. The seven little katydids Built a house of sticks, A thunder-storm came up one night. Then there were but six. The nix little katydids Lit upon a hive, A honey-bee xtung one of them, Theu there were but live. The Tive little katydid llcgan one day to f nore, A woeekled pullet puswod that way. Then there were but four. The four little katydids Wen hungry as could be, On ate poison-Ivy, Then there were but three. The three little katydids, I'm louth to nay' 'tis true. Tli?y came, oue day, f rum words to blows. Then there were but two. Two little katydids Sat chatting on a stone. A turkey swallowed one of them. Then there was but one. One little katydid.

Money, it is true, can do a great deal, but it can not do everything. 1 could namo you a thousand things it can not buy. It was meant for good, and it is a good thing to have, but all this depends on bow it ia used. If used wrongly, it is an injury, rather than a benefit. Beyond all doubt, however, there are many things bet ter than it is, and which it can not purchase, no matter how much we may have of it. If u man have not a good education, all his money will never buy it for him. He can scarcely ever make up for hia earlv wnste of opportunities. He may say, as I have heard of men saying: "I would give 11 I have if I had only had a good education and a well-trained mind;" Dut he will say it in vain. Iiis money alone can't obtain it. Neither will wealth itself give a man, or a woman, good mannefs. Nothing, next to good morals and good health, is of more importance than easy, graceful, self-possessed mannen. liu. they can't be had for mere money. A man who is what is called "shoddy," who has not taste and correct manners, will never buy them though he would, no doubt, like to They are not to be had in the market. They are nowhere for sale. You might as well try to buy sky, or cloud, or sunbeams. !iioney can't purchase a good conscience. . If a poor man, or a boy or girl any onehas a clear conscience, that gives off a tone like the sound bell when touched by the hammer, why, bles3 you, he is vastly richer than the millionaire who does not possess .such a conscience. Good principles are better than gold. All the gold of Golconda couldn't buy them for a man who hasn't ihem already. Money is very much sought after, and it can command a great deal of comfort. But it is very wrong and verv incorrect to e peak of money as The Almighty Dollar that is, if we do so in a really serious way. The dollar is not omnipotent. It is mighty, but not al 'nighty. There are thousands of things which it can not accomplish. Daring the Revolutionary War, a BritUh officer o tiered a large bribe to an American General. The General looked him in the lace and told him that his royal master in England had not enough money in all his Linsdtiui to pay him to do the mean thing he waul wanted to do. And there have been, and are, thousands of such men men whom no amount of money could buy. Money is not almighty. It may fill our houses with fine pictures, but it can not alone give us a true appreciation of them. It may take us abroad to aee foreign sights, but it can not give us truo taste about them. It may buy us an entrance into better society than we are used to, but can never, of itself, purchase -ease of manner and fine power of conversation, and all those things that come from other and higher sources than a pocketbook. Thousands and thousands of glorious things are beyond the reach of the hand of gold. And the beauty of it is that if riches fchould take to themselves wings and fly away, why all these better things, as thev do not come from wealth, do not disappear with it. There is, then, a market, and a wide one, in which money has no recognized value the market of intellectual, spiritual and other" high and holy things. Use the Bridl. A bridle is very necessary in guiding aad restraining an unruly horse; and it is very needful in controlling that unruly member, the tongue. Don't go without the bridle, boys,' was my grandfather's favorite bit of advice. If he heard any one cursine or swearing, or given to much vain and fool ish talk, he would say, "That man has lost his bridle.'' "Without a bridle the tongue. though a little member, "boasteth great things." It is an unruly member, "full of deadly poison." Put a bridle on it and it is one of the best servants body and soul can have. "I will keep my mouth with a bridle." said King David. Be sure and keep a bridle on your appetite, Don't let it be your master, and don't neglect to have one for your passions, or they will get unmanageable, driving you down a headlong course to ruin. I mean the the bridle of self-government. Good parents try to train and restrain their children; and you can generally tell by the children's behavior whether they have wise and faithful pnrents. But parents can not do everything; boys and girls must have their own bridles; they must learn to check and govern themselves. Self-government is the most difficult and the most important gov- . eminent to teach us; but it becomes easier . every day, if we practice it with a ; steady, resolute will, and a firm trust in II im who : alone can teach us wisely to rule our own . spirits. ': Tbe Boys of Cape Town, T E. B. BIOOAR.1 r , Cape Town, as you know, is a town on the -sea-coast of the Cape of Good Hope, and the . CrrJ T?nrA ia t Vl a iMitliovn an1 rV where the sun shines brighter and clearer and warmer than in England, or even in most parts of America. Just above tbe city there

rises a mountain, which is more than 3,500 feet riirht over the sea, and almost straight

up and down like a wall for more than half its height They call it Table Mountain, because it is wide and broad and fl;t on the top. It can be seen a long way at sea nearlv a hundred miles and then it looks like a great square block rising out ot the ocean. Often when all the rest of the sky is quite clear there will bo white clouds hanging over this mountain. They are a sign of the southeast winds, that blow very hard there and, when people see them, they say, "the table-cloth is laid on the Mountain." At the foot of Cape Town there is a large bay called Tabid Bay. Y here the town is built is called Table alley; so there you have three tables Table Mountain, Table Valley and Table Bay. Now we will sit on one of these tables and see what the boys do in Cane Town. There are a strange lot boys here. I suppose you think because it is Africa, they are all negroes: such as you toe in the pictures w th hardly any clothes to wear. No; there are plenty of black boys, to be sure, but there are plenty of white boys, too as white us any boy m America; and plenty of brown boys, yellow boys, olive boys, and nearly red boys, and boys of all shades of colors. The fathers and mothers of these boys come from all parts of the world; not only from Lngland, bcotland, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, llussia, Franco and those other countries, but from Arabia, from India, from China, from the Malay Peninsula, from Japan, from St. Helena where Napoleon died and, in fact, from almost every place, except from among the poor Indians out "West. And there arc somo boys there whose fathers and mothers used to live in New York and Boston. And such funny clothes some of these boys wear, here in Capo Town. There is a white plaster house, with a square top and a flat roof, tnd the boy setting inthodoor is drcsied all in bright red. Why, ho looks like some littlo boy in a circus. His red cap is small and round, with no peak on it, and no trimming, except a black tassel on the top. His red coat comes down to the bottom of his red trowsers. nearly, and looks like a nightgown trimmed with y How cord. He gets up and turns round to come out, and we sco ho is quite olive colored. What country is he from? His grandiather and grandmother were brought here as slaves about a hundred years ago from the MSlay country, in Asia, many hundred miles away east. "NY hy does he wear that kind of dress? Because his pooplo are Mohammodans by religion, and ho has been with them to Mecca and Medina, in Arabia, where Mo hammed lived. Many Mohammedans in Capo Town go to Mecca as pilgrims, and when they come back they wear long gowns, to show that they have been there, l'hey are then called a Iladiie. How proud this boy struts up the street I You would think he had been all round the world, and to Mecca, too. We see bim go among a crowd ot boys at the street-corner, and such a crowd 1 All sorts and sizes and colors. There is a trood-looking white boy, well dressed, and fit tobe your cousin, talking and hob nobbing with a boy as black as charcoal, but well dressed, too. Some white boys would not associate with him, but this boy does, for the colored boy and hia people have always lived hero, and he is well-behaved, and goes to school and to Sunday-school with white boys. Another boy among this crowd is nearly as black, but hia skin is very smooth-looking his features regular, and his eyes large and bright. He has no shirt or necktie under his coat, and is barefoot. He seems shy, and does not feel at home among the others. He is a Kaffir, and has not lived long in the town; that id why he is bashful. Perhaps he comes from the land of the Galikas. a tribe of negroes who were con quered by the white people of the Cape, and many of them captured and brought down to Cape Town, where they were compelled to work as servants for two or three years. Or perhaps he is a Kaffir all the way from z.uiuiana, tne place wnere iving veiywayo lived. By-the-way, Cetywayo is now here in Cape Town, a prisoner in the Castle," where they keep the cannons to defend the town. In the crowd there is a dark brown lad, like an Indian, with straight, black hair and black, sharp eyes, and thinner nose than the rest. He has a small, round cap, too, and is dressed nearly like the boy in red. And who is he? W ell, his father is what they call a "coolie" that is, a native of East In dia, who works as a laborer. He came here from another country in Africa, called Natal, where they work in the sugar plantation. Now there is another boy, standing by this coolie boy. that might be his brother, they look so much alike. But yet this one cornea from St. Helena, an island in the Atlantic Ocean, about 800 miles northwest from Cape Town, and not northwest where India is. And here is a funny little fellow, with face pale-yellow and body as thin as a ghost. His hair is curly, but not jet black, like most of the others. His nose seems flattened down on his face; his lips are very thick, and his mouth very wide. There is a queer kind of wrinkle down his face; his cheek-bone sticks out very much, and the skin of his eye-lids seems to be folded somehow over the corner of his twinkling eyes. Perhaps you know by the picture-books who this boy is. He is a Hottentot, Some would say he is a bushman boy, but he is not. There are none of these bush boys here in this crowd, but we could find them ff we walked about the town. But I can not begin to describe each boy in the crowd there are so many different kinds and colors and races. There seem to be mixtures of all those we have noticed. Perhaps one of these lads may have a father who is a Malay, and a mother who is a KafHr, or negro. And so they are mixed of many races, and it is sad to think how ignorant and how dirty and idle most of them become. But that is the fault of their parents. They live in poor houses, most of them, and in some quarters of the town they sleep like the poor people in London and New York, twenty and thirty in one room. This, of course, is a bad way to live, as the breath of so many people will poison the air in a room and bring sickness, but they know no better. Now do these boys ever have any fun? Do they ever play games? Yes, plenty of them They play" two or three Dutch games, and mos, of them talk Dutch better than English, because the people who first lived there were Dutch. They play a kind of base-ball, but pitchand toes is their great game, among little boys. And at night they get together in hundreds in the back streets, and in the light of the moon, which shines very brightly there, they play some sort of a game in a ring, singing in Dutch. The police allow them to do this, and only punish them when they begin ta gamble with cards, which the Malay boys are very apt to do. In the evening or the morning, many of these boys go down to the shore of Table Bay to bathe, which is very healthy for them; but the best fun they seem to have is with the goats. There are plenty of goats of different breeds here big and little, white, black, and brown. Many of the boys have harness and carts, and make the goat3 draw them or their little sisters about town. Sometimes they use them to carry groceries from the stores or vegetables from the market. " I mean that the boys use them for this purpose, but the men use donkeys and carts as well as horses. Some of these boys are I very fond of goats, especially when they own them. And torn or ihro rnlnred bo YS may often be seen leading the goats on the

hillside above the town to pastures all the

day long. It is often a very pretty sight indeed to see groups of Malay and colored boys and girls, dressed in all sorts of bright colors, such as orange or yellow, or crimson, or pink, or green the boys bareheaded and the girls with oraage or yellow silk handkerchiefs on their heads and to see them romping about and playing pranks with the animals, as they wander over the hillsides. Theso boys and girls have a kind of candy there they call 'tam-a-letjee." made of boiled sugar poured ii a paper in the shape of a small square cake. It is not so bad to eat as many of our American candies, because it has no chalk and no poison colored stuff in it. But I am afraid I had better stop here, or else I will have half of you wanting to go on to Africa and buy a goat and cart, and live cn "tam-a-letjes," A Famous Building. (By J.T.Wood, InGoMeu Days. There are four great buildings in this country called halls, which, if they are not so grand as Westminster Hall in .hn gland, nor so venerable as other edifices in Kuropo and in Asia, are very lntereslinjr lor their relation to American history and republican institutions, and will retain that interest as long as they stand. Ono of these is Fancuil Hall, in Boston, in which the first movements looking toward freedom took place. Two of them stand in Philadelphia Carpenters' and Independence Halls in which freedom was discussed and decided upon and finally proclaimed. The fourth is in Washington tne Hail ot Uonrres3 in which the pro posals made at reneuil Hall, formulated in Carpenters' llall, and adopted in Independence Hall, have been attained and perfected. Independence Hall is the most sacred of all. There the United States was really born. There Washington and Jefferson and Lafayette, and the most illustrious men of the country, have sat and thought, and ad. vised and acted, or reflected on what their predecessors did. It stands between Chestnut and Walnut, Sixth and Seventh Streets. It was begun in 1732, occupied in 1735 and finished in 1741, and it cost over 2,000, or about $10,000 in our money. The tower was built in 1753, and a steeple was added in 1828. There the Second Continental Congress eat from 1775 to 1783, and the Convention which made the Constitution of tho United States in 1787. Tho declaration of Independence, which Jefferson wrote on Fourth Street though some say on Market was approved, enacted and signed there. There the United States buprcmo Court sat for nine years. Washington was inaugurated there in 1793, and John Adams in 1797, and there Washington read his Farewell Address in 1798. This great hall, so intimately connected witM the history of tho city, the colony, tho State and the country, is of brick. The long - A 1 1 , A . . . wings auacnea io it are more recent, iv fine marble statue of Washington, given by the school-children of Philadelphia, stands in front of it. Entering the main hall, the visitor sees four inscriptions. One of them states that American independence was foreshadowed by acts at Boston, New York and in Vir- . 1 TT ? a 11 ginia; one mat me union was guggesiea oy Franklin at Albany, in 1754, and completed in 1787. One eulogizes Penn, who was born in 1644, and that and the others quote pas sages from his Frame of Government, from the Declaration, and from Washington's Farewell Address. On the left of this passage is a largo room that has four pillars and six windows and a floor of tiles. It contains the table and four teen of the chairs used by Congress in 177G, k statue of Washington arid a mosaic porrait of him that was made in Home, two Sevres vases given to Philadelphia by the French Government; portiaits of fifty-five signers or the Declaration ana lorty-two generals and statesmen, but there is no por trait of any one born since 1 1 6. The large room opposite this is crowded with portraits, memorials and curiosities which are very valuable and rare. Among these are portraits of King William and tho three Xing- Georges, of Queen Anne and Mary, of Washington, Franklin and Lafay ette, and of 110 other persons. Benjamin est's great picture of Penn's Treaty with the Indians is here; and here are the portraits of Washington and Mrs. Washington that 1 eale painted in It to and 1789. Here, too, Washington's pocket-compass, his spectacles and Masonic apron. Here 13 the chair William Pcnn sat in, and here is a button from his coat. Here are Lafayette's epaulettes, Frank lin's air-pump; the door of Chew's Germantown house, riddled with British bullets in the fight of October 4, 1777; the royal charter of Philadelphia, given in 1701; the silver ink-stand from which the Declaration was signed; the bell used at Valley Forge; the old frame of tbe Liberty bell; profiles of Generaland Mrs. Washington; a curious chair made from a thousand bits of famous houses, ships and other things; autographs of all the English and French kings since 1683, with old dresses and old coins, engrav ings, muskets, dirks, drums, swords, cannonballs, Indian curiosities, etc. Between these two rooms, and in the rear of tho hallway, stairs lead to tho second story. The cracked old Liberty bell swings over the center. A model of the famous old frigate Constitution is placed on one side, and there are portraits of Lafayette and William Penn there. The second story is not' so interesting as the rest of the building, and ia closed now. These are not all of the very many inter esting things collected there, and we can not name even the most interesting of tho re minder. Among them, however, are Penn's own tea-kettle, a pitcher left by British troops at Cermantown, Washington's punch-bowl, the ale-mugs of Patrick Henry and Paul Jones, Rittenhouae's compass, James .Lo gan's pewter plate, Commodore Perry 6 signal book, and a judge's chair used 150 years ago. There is a little book that was printed in London in 1692, to describe the colonies in this country; and there is a book printed by Franklin in 1765. There is a map of Philadelphia as it was in 1750; there are sketches made by Benjamin West, and a letter written by him, and a whole sheet of Indian autographs, from 1682 to 1785; turtles, pipes, guns, snakes, deer, etc. The people ot every country have loved to preserve memorials of their earlv davs and struggles for commemoration and incentive. The Hebrews treasured the ark and little temple of their exodus from Egypt, after they became great and powerful in Palestine. The Hindoos pretend to show a footstep of Buddh on the Himalayas'. Tbe Romans preserved relics of Romulus' time. The Germans have a throne they say Barbarossa sat on. The old rock of Scone, on which ancient Scotch kings were crowned, is part of British regalia; and now, more than ever, such antiquities are preserved and venerated. The early history of this country is more noble than that of any, because the country was created to secure more and higher advantages for every one than any other thought of, and because it has done this and la now not only one of the very greatest in size and wealth and intelligence and happiness, but it is growing most rapidly in every direction, and must soon lead the world in magnitude, as it now leads it in some other particulars. All that it is and is to be, sprang from the men, tne deeds and conditions which are commemorated in this collection at Inde pendence Hall. The objects, therefore, are not merely ina l : i il. , ... , tercBuuij, ii kb voe curiosities snown in mu scums, but thev are instructive and thev di rect. The children and youth who see them

will think what the early history of the

country was, and . by what mean 3 it has crown so rapidly. They will think of the patriots who won its independence, of the brave soldiers who preserved it. of the shrewd merchants and cunning avians and industrious workmen who have made it rich and happy.and been honored for doing so, Therefore they will try to imitate them. So Independence Hall is not only a price less memorial it is a grand object lesson and its lesson can not be too thoroughly learned. Every'boy and girl yes, every man and woman snouiu visit it, ana me oia oweaes Church, and William Penn's home, in Leti tia street, and Franklin's grave, and some o: tho other houses and places of which Phila delphia has so many. Names of Countries. I ho following countries, it is said, were originally named by the Phoenicians, the gveatest commercial people in the world. Tho names in tho Phoenician language signifies something characteristic of the places designated. Europe signifies a country ef white com plexion; so named because the inhabitants were of a lighter complexion than those of Asia and Africa. Asia signifies between, or in tho middle. from tho fact that tho geographers placed it between hun'po and Africa. Africa signifies tho land of corn, or cars. It was celebrate! for its abundance of corn, and all sorts of grain. Siberia signifies thirsty, or dry very characteristic. Spain, a country of rabbits, or conies. It was once so infested with these animals, that it 6ued Augustus for an army to destroy them. Italy, a country of Pitch, from itt yielding great quantities of black pitch. Calabria, also for tho same reason. Gaul, modern France, signifies yellowhaired, as yellow hair characterizes its inhabitants. Tho English of Caledonia is a high hill. This was a rugged, mountainous province in Scotland. Hibernia is utmost, or last habitation; for beyond this westward the Phoenicians never extended their voyr.ges. Britain, the country of tin, great quantities being found on it and adjacent islands. Tho Greeks called it Albion, which signifies, in Phoenician tongue, either white or high mountains, from the whiteness of its shores, or tho high rocks on tho Western cost. Corsica signifies a woody place. Sardinia signifies the footsteps of men which it resembles. Syracuse, bad savor, so-called from the unwholesome march on which it stood. Rhodes, serpents or dragons, which it pro duced in abundance. Sicily, tho country of grapes. Scylla, tho whirlpool of destruction. Etna signifies a furnace, or dark or smoky. From 1 he Talmud. University Magazin. "Who is strong? He who subdues his passion. v no is rich l lie who is satisfied with his lot." "He who sacrifices a whole offering shall be rewarded for a whole offering; ho who offers a burnt-offering shall have the rewurd of a burnt-offering; but he who offers humanity to God and man shall be rewarded with a reward as if he had of fered all the sacrifices in the world." "There ;re four characters in scholars: Quick to hear and quick to forget, his gain is canceled by his loss; slow to hear and slow to forget. his loss is canceled by his gain; quick to hear and slow to forget is wise; slow to hear and quick to forget, this is an evil lot." "There are four characters in those who sit under the wise: a sponge, a funnel, a strainer, and a bolt-sieve. A sponge, which sucks up all; a funnel, which lets in hero and lets out there; a strainer, which lets out the wine and keeps back the dregs; a bolt-sieve, which lets out the pollard and keeps back the flour." "He who has more learning than good works is like a tree with many branches but few roots, which tho first wind throws on its face; while he who.e works are greater than his knqwle-dgc is like a tree with many roots and fewer branches, but which all tho winds of heaven can not up root ' "If thy wife is small, bend down to her and whisper in her ear. He who for sakes the love of his youth God's altar weeps lor him. lie who sees his wile die before him, has, as it were, been present at the destruction of the sanctuary itself around him the world grows dark." He who marries for money, his children shall be a curse to him." Rabbi Jose said: "I never call mv wife 'wife ,' but 'home; for she indeed makes my home.'' "Underneath the wings of the seraphim are stretched the wings of the divine mercv. ever ready to receive- sinners. ' Love, undjing, solid love, whose root is virtue, can no more die than virtue itself. Erasmus. SOCIETY DIRECTORY. Masonic. Gethsemane Com m ändert. K. T.. No. 9.
