He is brave and manly, too; But he never brags about it. All the best of boys can do He can do; no one would doubt it. He Is never rough at play, Li tee a street-boy, wild and lazy; And his games are quite as gay, If they ore not rude and crazy. lie is fond of his momma. So he speak to her politely; He obeys hU good papa. Who will praise hi doing rightly. He has many toys snd books. For he never would destroy them. To his sisters' quiet nooks. Should he couie, will not annoy them. If yon'd have a charming time At a feast or Christmas party; If von wish all things to chime. When the play is full and hearty; You will ask the boys polite. Who are never rude when merry. And will always first invite Such a lad as Ernest Ferry. Japanese Yoodk Folks. (Northern Christian Advocate. There is no country in the world where there are so many toy-shops, so many chu dren'a fairs, or where older people do bo much for youne; peeople, as in Japan. As a treneral rule, Japanese children are seldom known to be punished. Thev are greatly petted, and do not quarrel and cry so much as children in our own country, and are always eood-natured, contented and happy, The children are so unusually good, some persona eay, because their parents allow them to do as they please; yet if they were better taken care of and better governed, perhaps there would not be so many soreeyed, sore-headed, crooked-hacked children as others are. Boys seldom play ball, but find their en joyment in stilts, tops and kites, some of which are six feet square and very cay in appearance, and others are made to sing as they fly through the air. Another choice game it battledore and shuttlecock. The battledore is a wooden bat and the shuttlecock is a round seed stuck round with feathers. The boys as they play sin? that the wind might blow, and the girls that it may be calm so that their shuttlecocks may fly straight. As for "Mother Goose'' literature in the way of story books, lullabjs and nursery rhymes, they are as plentiful as in our own land, but are characteristic of their country. In our games, for instance, of ''puss wants a corner," and "prisoner's base," the devil lakes the place of puss or the officer. Japanese children are peculiarly fond of playing ''make believe," and will pretend" to be sick and send for the doctor; "make believe" have tea parties, weddings, and even funerals. Games of cards are very popular, and after the manner of our "old maid." Forfeits are a part of almost every game, and consist sometimes in painting the faces of the boys with ink and sticking straws in the girl's hair. My Fig. Harper's Young People, by Jimmy Brown. I don't say that I didn't do wrong, but what I do say is that I meant to do right. But that don't make any difference. It never does. I try to do my very best, and then something happens and I am blamed for it. "When I think what a disappointing world this is, full of bamboo canes and all sorts of switches, 1 feel ready to leave it. It was Sue's fault in the beginning; that is, if it hadn't been for her it wouldn't have happened. One Sunday she and I were sitting in the front parlor, and she was looking out of the window and watching for 3Ir. Travers; only she said she wasn't and that she was just looking out to see if it was going to rain, and solemnizing her thoughts. I had just asked her how old she was, ai.d couldn't 3Ir. Travers have been her father if he had married mother, vthen she said, "Dear mo how tiresome that ooy is to take a book and read for gracious sake." I said,"WhRt book?" So she gets up and gives me the Observer, and says, "There's a beautiful story about a good boy and a pig; do read it and keep still if you know how and I hope it will do you some good. "Well, I read the story. It told about a good boy whose name was James, and his lather was poor, and so he kept a pig that cost him twenty-five cents, and when it grew up he sold it for $30, and brought the money to his father and said, "Here father! take this, O how happy I am to help you when you're old and not good for much," and his father burst into tears, but I didn't know what for, I wouldn't burst into tears much if anybody gave me $30; and said: "ßless you, my noble boy, you and your sweet pig have saved me from a watery grave," or something like that. It wa3 a real good story, and it made me feel likewise. So I resolved that I would get a little pig for twenty-five cents, and keep it till it grew up, and then surprise father with $2'J, and keep one for myself as a reward for my good conduct. Only I made up my mind not to let anybody know about it till after the pig should be grown up, and then how the family would De delighted with my ' thoughtful and generous act!" fjr that's what the paper said James' act was. The next day I went to Fanner Smith, and got him to give me a little pig for nothing, only I agreed to help him weed his garden all summer. It was a beautiful pig, about as pretty as our baby, only it was a deal prettier, ani its tail was elegant. I wrapped it up in an old shawl, and watched my chance and jrot it up into my room, which is in the third story. Then I took my trunk and emptied it, and bored some holes in it for air, and put the pig iu it. 1 had the best fun that ever was, all that day and the next day, taking care of that dear little pig. I gave him one of my coats for a bed, and fed him on milk, and took him out of the trunk every little while for exercise. Nobody goes into my room very often except the girl to make the bed, and when she came I shut up the trunk, aid she never suspected anything. I got a whole coal-ecu ttleful of the very best mud, and put it in the corner of the room for bira to play in, and when I heard Brideet coming, I meant to throw the bed -qui It over it so she wouldn't suspect anything. After I had him two'days I heard mother say, "Seems to me I hear very queer noises every now and then upstairs." I knew what the matter was, but I never said anything, and I felt to happy when I thought what a good boy I was to raise a pig for my dear father. Bridget went up to bt room about 8 o'clock one evening, just before I was going to bed, to take up my clean clothes. We were all sitting in the dining-room, when wo heard her holler u if the was being mur

' There is reaon to believe that Miss Burr gave heed to this admonition of her good father; for she afterward became renowned for her beauty as well as for superior men tal endowments and accomplishments. An Elephant's Cunning. Anon. The morahtv of an elephant is even a more curious study than his sagacity. A gen tleman in Kaneoon bought three young ele phants to send to England. They are said to be very tame, cunning and playfuL They know it is wrong to steal paddy "(unhusked nee), and. although tney snow wnere it is kept, they will not touch it themselves, but, when the boys go to see them, tney win come up and coil their little trunks around the boy's arm, and pull him along to the stable, and up to the paddy bag, and make a cat's paw of the boy's hand until he makes up a handful of paddy. Then he lets go of the arm, and turns up the end of his trunk, opens it like a cup, and most coailngly invite the boy to drop in the paddy. If the boy puts it back into the bag he instantly seizes his arm again and makes him try once more, until he gets the paddy in his trunk, then he doubles bis trunk under, opens his mouth, and blows the paddy out into his mouth, and scampers off, feeling as jolly as a boy does when he has done a cunning thing. Be Honorable. Young Folks' Rural J Boys and young men sometimes start out into life with the idea that one's success depends on sharpness and chicanery. They imagine that if a man is able to "get the best of a bargain," no matter by what deceit and meanness he carries his point, that his prosperity is assured. This is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity can not be founded on cunning and dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the influences which are working against him. Iiis house is built upon the sand, and its foundation will be certain to give way. Young people can not cive these truths too much weight. Ths future of that young man is safe who eschews every shape of double dealing, and lays the foundation of his career in the enduring principles of everlasting truth. Nearly all marbles are made at Oberstein, Germany, where there are extensive agate quarries and mills, and the refuse is turned to account in making marbles for boys to play with. By the machinery used, about half a bushel of marbles are made in fifteen minutes. Little Folks Abroad. Her little sister Bello had been accustomed to a light in the room, and walked in great distress one night, crying out: "Me can't see, Aunt Bessie; my eyes are all bio wed out." A woman in -Pittsburg returned to her b jme after a short absence to find the house shut up in front and crape on the door. Her little daughter was playing that her d j!1 had just expired. A "three-year-old" discovered that the neighbor's hen3 in her yard scratching. In a moat indignant tone she reported to her mother that Mr. Smith's hens were "wiping their feet on our grass." :ßut, Freddy, how could ycu think of calling Auntie stupid? Go to her and tell her immediately that you aro sorry." Freddy goes to Auntie and says: ''Auntie, I am sorry you are stupid." A child was called one day by her mother to speak to another lady standing near, who she was told, was a grandmother. Looking at her for a moment, she quickly said: ''Oh, no, she is no grandmother; she is too new to be a grandmother; grandmothers have gray hair and wear spectacles." A little girl once took a letter from her mother to an old lady friend. 'Many thanks my child," she said; "you may tell your mother that you are a good child end are a faithful little messenger." "Thank you, ma'am; and I shall tell her too that I didn't ask you for ten cents, because mamma told me not to.'' French newspaper. Some boys learn without difficulty, while it is impossible to teach others anything. A schoolmaster was trying to show his pupils the intricacies of wages. In answer to the query, "What are wages?" not a boy made reply, "What does your father get on Saturday night after his week's work is over?" "he asked " of a little-ten-year-old observer of human nature. "Get?"was the reply, "Why, Master, he goes to the tavern and gets tight. Is that wages?" "Will never be a politician: A fond mother undertook to teach her little boy to say his prayers the other evening. She made him repeat the Lord's Prayer, lie got along swimmingly until she came to the words, "Give us this day our daily bread," when he paused and seemed tq be absorbed in thought. At last he said: "It's no use asking God for that bread. You can't fool God that way He knows we have got biscuits enough in the safe to last us for two days."

Sunday World. THE FIBST PI 40 IX A MIXING CAMP, Argonaut. In 1857 it mijrht have been five years earlier or later, this is not history for the public school there was a little camp about a i ten miles irom x'iocne, occupiea oy upwaru of about SOO miners, every one of whom might have packed his prospecting imple ments ana leit ior more mviung neius any time before sunset. "When the day was over the men did not rest from their labors, like the honest New England agriculturalist, but sang, danced, gambled, and shot each other as the mode seized tnem. One evening a report spread along the main street (which was the only street), that three men had been killed at Silver 1'eaf, and that the bodies were coming in. Presently a lumbering old convevance labored up the hill, drawn by a couple of horses well worn out with their pull. The cart contained a good ßized box, and no sooner did its outline become visible through the glimmer of a stray light here and there, than it began to affect the idlers. Death alwavs enforces respect, and even though no one had caught sight of the remains, the crowd gradually became subdued, and when the horses came to a stand still, the cart was immediately surrounded. The driver, how. ever, was not in the least impressed with the solemnity of his commission. "All there?'' asked one. 'Haven't examined. Guess so.'' The driver filled his pipe and lit it a he continued. "Wish the bones and the lead had gone over the grade. A man who had been looking on stepped up to the man at once. 4,I dontknow whom you have in that box, but if they happen to be any friends of mine 1 11 lay you alongside "We can mighty soon see," said the team ster, coolly. 4iJust bust the lid off, and if they happen to be the men you want, I'm here." The two looked at each other for a moment, ana the crowd gathered a little closer, anticipating trouble. "I believe that dead men are entitled to good treatment, and when ycu talk about hoping to see corpses go over a bank, all I have to say is, that it will be better for you if the late lamented ain't ray friends." "We'll open the box. I don't take back what I've said, and if my language don't suit your ways of thinking 1 guess I can stand it." "With these words the teamster began to pry up the lid. He got the board off, and then pulled out some old rags. A strip of something dark, liko rosewood, presented itself. "Eastern coffins, by thunder!" said several, and the crowd looked qnite astonished. Some more boards flew up, and the man who was ready to defend his friends' moraory shifted his weapon a little. The cool manner of the teamster had so irritated him that he made up his mind to pull his weapon at the first sight of the dead, even if the deceased was his worst and oldest enemy. Presently the whole of the box cover was off, and the teamster, clearing away the packing, revealed to the astonished group the top of something which puzzled all alike. "Boys," said he, ''planner." A general shout of laugher went up, and the man who had been so anxious to enforce respect for the dead, muttered something about feeling dry, and the keeper of the nearest bar was several ounces better off by the time the boys had given the joke all the attention it called for. Had a dozen dead men been in the box their presence in the camp could not have occasioned half the excitement that the arrival ofthat lonely piano caused. By the next morning it was known that the instrument was to grace a hurdy-gurdy saloon, owned by Tom Goskin, the leading gambler in the place. It took nearly a week to get this wonder on its legs, and the owner was the proudest individual in the state. It rose gradually from a recumbent to an upright position, amid a confusion of tongues after the manner of tüe tower of Babef. Of course everybody know just how such an instrument should be put up. One knew where the "off hind leg" should go, and another was posted on the "front piece." Scores of men came to the place every day to assist. "I'll put the bones in good order." 'If you want the wire tuned, I'm the boy." "I've got music to feed it for a month." Another brought a pair of blankets for a cover, and all took the liveliest interest in it. It was at last in a condition for business. It's been showin' its teeth all the week. "We'd like to have it spit out something." Alas ! there wasn't a man to be found who could play upon the instrument. Goskin began to realize that he had a losing speculation on his hands. lie had a fiddler and a Mexican who thrummed a guitar. A pianist would have made his orchestra com plete. One day a three card monte player told a friend confidentially that he could ''knock any amount of music out of a piano, if he only had it alone a ' few hours to get his hand in." The report spread over the camp; but on being questioned he vowed that he didn't know a note of music. It was noted, however, as a suspicious circumstance, that he often hung about the instrument, and looked upon it longingly, like a hungry man gloating over a beetsteak in a restaurant window. There was no doubt that this man had music in his soul, perhaps in his fingers' ends, but did not dare to make a trial of his strength after the rules of harmony had suffered so many years of neglect. So the fiddler kept on with his jigs, and the greasy Mexican pawed his discordant guitar, but no man had the nerve to touch that piano. There were doubtless scores of men in the camp who would have given ten ounces of gold dust to have been half an hour alone with it, but every man's nerve shrank from the jeers which the crowd would shower upon him should his first attempt prove a failure. It got to be generally understood that the hand which first essayed to draw music from the keys must not slouch its work. It was Christmas eve, And Goskin, accord

ing to his custom, had decorated his gambling house with, sprigs of mountain cedar, and a shrub whose crimson berries did not seem a bad imitation of English holly. The

piano was covered with evergreens, and all that was wanting to completely fill the cup ofGoekin's contenment was a man to play that piano. "Christmas night and no piano pounder he said. "This is a nice country for a Christian to live in." Getting a piece of paper he scrawled the words: : 20 Reward j I To a compitant Pianer Player. V 4 .....: This he stuck up on the music rack, and though the inscription glared at the frequenters of the room until midnight, it failed to draw any musician from his shell. So the merrymaking went on; the hilar ity grew apace. Men danced and sang to the music of the squeaky fiddle and worn out guitar, as the jolly crowd within tried to drown the howling of the storm without. Suddenly they became aware of the presence of a white-haired man crouching near the fire-place. His garments, such as were left, were wet with melting snow, and he had a half-starved, half-crazed expression. He held his thin, trembling bands toward the fire, and the light of the blazing wood made them almost transparent. He looked about him once in a while, as if in search of something, and his presence cast such a chill over the place that grad uallv the sound of revelrv was hushed, and it seemed as if this waif of the storm had brought in with it all the gloom and cold ness of the warring elements. Goskin, mix ing up a cup of eggnog, advanced and re marked cheerily: "Here, stranger, brace up! This is the real stuff." The man drained the cup, smacked his lips, and seemed more at home. "Been prospecting, eh? Out in the moun tainscaught in the storm 7 lively night, this!" "Pretty bad," said the man. Must feel pretty dry?' The man locked at his streaming clothes and laughed, as if Goskin's remark was a sarcasm. "How long out?'' "Four days." 'Hungry?" The man rose up, and walking over to the lunch counter, fell to work upon roast beef, devouring it like any wild animal would have done. As meat and drink and warmth began to permeate the stranger, he seemed to expand and lighten up. His features lost their pallor, and he grew more and more content with the idea that he was not in the grave. As he underwent these changes the people around him got merrier and happier, and threw off the temporary feeling of de pression which he bad laid upon them. Presently his eye fell upon the piano. ' Where's the player?" he asked. "Never had any," 6aid Goskin, blushing at the confession. 4,I used to play when I was young." Goskin almost fainted at the admission. "Stranger, do tackle it and give us a tune. Xary man in this camp ever had tho nerve to wrastle with that music box." His pulse neat taster, lor be learea that the man would refuse. 'I'll do the best I can," he said. There was no stool, but seizing a candlebox, ho drew it up and seated himself before the instrument. It only required a few sec onds for a hush to come over the room. "That old coon is going to give the thine a rattle." The sight of a man at the piano was some thing so unusual that even the faro dealer, who was about to take in a $50 bet on the tray, paused, and did not reach for the money. Men stopped drinking with the glasses at their lips. Conversation appeared to have been struck with a sort of paralysis and cards were no longer shuffled. The old man brushed back his long white locks, looked up to the ceiling, half closed his eyes, and in a mystic sort of reverie passed his fingers over the keyes. He touched but a single note, yet the sound thrilled the room. It was the key to his im. provisation, and as he wove his chords together the music laid its spell upon every ear and heart. He felt his way along the keys like a man treading uncertain paths, but he gained confidence in his work like a master. The instrument was not in exact tune, but the ears of his audience, through long disuse, did not detect anything wrong They heard a succession of grand chords, a suggestion oi paradise, melodies here and there, and it was enough. "See him counter with his left!" said an old rough, enraptured. 'Ho calls the turn every time on the upper end of the board, responded a man with a stack of chips in his hand. The player wandered off into the old bal lads he had heard at home. All the sad and melancholy and touching songs, that came up like dreams of childhood, this un known player drew from the keys. His hands kneaded their hearts like dough, and squeezed out the tears as from a wet sponge. As the strains flowed one upon the other, they saw their homes of the long ago reared again; they were playing once more where the apple blossoms sank through the soft air to join the violets on the green turf of the old New England States; they saw the glories of the "Wisconsin maples and the haze of the Indian summer blending their hues together; they saw the heather of the Scottish hills, the white cliffs of Briton, and heard the sullen -roar of the sea as it beat upon their memories vaguely. Then came all the old Christmas carols that they had sung in Church thirty years before; the subtle music that brings up the glimmer of wax-tapers, the solemn shrines, the evergreen, holly, mistletoe and the surpliced cnoifs. Then the remorseless performer planted his final stab in every heart with "Ilome, Sweet Home." When the player ceased, the crowd slunk away from him. There was no more revelry and merriment left in his audience. Each man wanted to sneak off to his cabin and write the old folks a letter. The day was breaking as the last man left the place, and the player, laying his head down on the piano, tell asleep. "I say, pard," said Goskin, "Don't you want a little rest?" "I feel tired," the old man said. "Perhaps you'll let me rest here for the matter of a day or so." He walked behind the bar, where some old blankets were lying, and stretched himself upon them. I feel pretty sick. I guess I won,'t last long. I've got brother down in the ravine his name's Driscoll. lie don't know I'm here. Can you get him before morning? I'd like to see his faco once more before I die." Goskin started up at the mention of the name. He knew Driscoll well. "He your brother? I'll have him here in half an hour." As he dashed out into the storm the musician pressed his hand to his side and groaned. Goskin heard the word "Hurry!'' and sped down the ravine to Driscoll's cabin. It was quite light in the room when the two men returned. Driscoll was pale as death. My God! I hope he's alive! I wronged him when he lived in England, twenty years ago." They saw the old man had drawn the

blanket over his face. The two stood a mo

ment, awed by the thought that he might be dead. Goskin lifted the blanket and pulled it down astonished. There was no one there! "Gone!" cried Driscoll, wildlv. "Gone!" echoed Goskin. pulline out bis cash-drawer. "Ten thousand dollars in the sack, and the Lord knows how much loose change in the drawer!" The next day the boys got out, followed the horse's tracks through the snow and lost them in the trail leading toward Pioche. There was a man missing from the camp. It was the three card monte man, who used to deny point blank that he could play the scale. One day they fc .T-.d a wig of white hair, and called to mir ü when the stranger had pushed those lock back when helwb'v toward the ceiling for inspiration, on the night of December 24. 1861. RAILROAD FLIRTATION. An Order on tho Hndaon River and Harlem Lines With Which Brakemen are Dissatisfied. I New Totk Herald. Flirting with the girls is one of the oldest privileges enjoyed by railroad brakemen. It is distinctively understood on the lines of all railroads lhat the throwing of kisses, the waving of handkerchiefs and the raising of caps from bushy heads are duties which every brakeman understanding the regulations laid down for his guidance by common consent most faithfully performs on every convenient occasion. And if there be no convenient occasion he makes one and flirts anyhow with every young woman who happens to look at a passing train. The young woman living contiguous to a railroad must, indeed, be differently constituted from the rest of her sisters if she docs not readily yield to the blandishments of the persistent brakeman, who, having studied the art of flirtation, can run the gamut of signs and motions quickly and artistically. From long practice and pleasant memories of success the brakeman scarcely ever fails to attract the attention of every young woman who comes as a stranger, to reside at any point along the line of road. As the flirtation progresses the young eirl, at first cov and bashful and her fsce burning with blushes, becomes bolder and flirts harder. She instils more energy into her arm when she waves her hat or her nandkerchief and her face is b3aming with smiles whenever the brakeman passes, and she makes it a part of her daily duties to be in sight about the time the train is due. At length the girl becomes well enough acquainted to speak to the brakeman when she sees him, and when she gets on his train his time is sorely taxed between keeping up a running conversation with her and keeping a sharp lookout for the rest of the girls along the road who expect recognition. Notwithstanding the fact that flirtation is a time-honored custom, the New York Central and Hudson Kiver Railroad Company's officers have issued orders that hereafter brakemen shall not flirt or enter into conversation with any women or girls while on their trains. This rule also applies to the Harlem Division. The brakemen feel annoyed and indignant that thev are singled out, and that the more aristocratic cond actor is exempt. The order has not been the means of more firmly connecting the bonds of unity and confidence between the brakemen and the conductors, in favor of whom the officers seem inclined to discriminate. FROM T.IIE BRA KEM EN'S STANDPOINT. The views of several brakemen have been obtained by the reporter, and they are so strictly homogenous that the opinion of one will suffice for the fraternity. When asked what he thought of the order, the brakeman, a good-looking, curly-haired, blueeyed young fellow, who has been on the Harlem Divison for five or six years,replied with much warmth, "I think we can tand it, but it will be pretty difficult to see the conductor and the engineer, and even the baggageman and fireman, carrying on a business that belongs by right of discovery to the brakeman. You see some of the conductors are getting old and ugly, and some of them were ugly before they got old. 1 hey always try to control the flirting market and run the 'buzzing' business on the trains; but the young women like tobe ncticed by young men better than by old ones, even if they have gold bands around their eaps, and when the young women show a preference for us brakemen it upsets the conductors, and I know they have corrplained about brakemen flirting. I wish you would just watch those old fellows and see how gallant they are. It would do you good to see them help a young Kdy on and off the train, and drop mechanically into a seat beside a pretty woman between stations. We are not allowed to do it now, and this gives conductors an entire monopoly." "How do you think the young women will receive tne news?" inquired the reporter. "Not kindly. They like flirting as well as we do, and they will continue to flirt. They won't mind the order. They will flirt with us if we don't with them. They understand pretty well who is responsible for the order, and I'll bet you the conductors won't make anything by it. We are not loafers nor boors because we are brakemeB. Some of us know how to be civil and gentlemanly to everybody men and old and homely women as well as pretty ones and that is an acquirement some of the conductors do not and never will possess, and and it seems pretty hard that' we should all be branded as a lot of social brigands, while the men who wear finer clothes and receive better pay are allowed to have full sweep from the baggage car door on every window full of young women. It isn't fair, but we can't 'kick.' If we do we get 'fired.' A conductor who was interrogated on the subject looked whimsically at the reporter, and replied that he never flirted first. -'It is not necessary. There are plenty of foolish young women always ready to begin the business if you give them the least opportunity,'' he replied. "We have no notion of interfering with brakemen, but I tel. you this flirting business became a nuisance. They had too many girls." "Suppose the order had included conductors as well as brakemen?" the reporter inquired. "We don't flirt. It is the women that flirt, and no order will stop them." "You are spoken of by the brakemen as monopolists in the business," the reporter suggested. "That isn't true. The engineer is the msn. He gets the first flirt always, and sometimes it is difficult to tell for a long time whether the girls are flirting with him or the conductor, but we have the .vl vantage all the time, for when one of the nirters gets on the train, it is easy to see who they have been flirting with, 'if it is the conductor she will smile as she hands him her ticket, and ask some foolish question or make some common-place remark which will bring on a conversation. If the conductor is not the man, she will look black as a thunder-cloud when you take up the ticket. No, sir: the women do all the flirting with the conductors. I think the order is a good one, for flirting on trains doesn't look well. I don't know how to explain it, but young women are continually courting the acquaintance of railroad men. "Why do they court them?" "I dont know," said the conductor. "If they were wise they would let them alone.

A railroad man is not the proper person to make a woman hannv whn ahn mar.
