Jimmy Brown, In Harper' Young People. We ou;ht always tobe use:ul, and do good to everybody. 1 used to think that we ou ht always to imnrove our minds, and I tuink so some now, though I have got into dread'-ul difacu'ities all through improving my mind. But I am not going to be diecour&g t. I tried to be useful the other day, and do good to tha heathen in distant lands, and jou wouldn't telisve whst troubloitmj.de. There are some people who would never do good again if they bad got into tue trouble that 1 got into; but the proverb stys that if at first yon don't suced, crv, cry again; and there was lots of crirjL', I enn toll you, over our rhinetero, thst we thought was going do so much goodIt ail hsppeo'd lecauso Aunt Eliza was t tat )ng at our home, bhe nad a bunuay cbocl one afternoon, and Tom McGinni and I were tbe scholars, and she told os about a bov that get up a panorama about tne Pilgrim's Progress all by him elf, and t people ?e it for teu cents apiec?, and nade tea dollars, ar.d t nt it to tea rnu6ion trie, and tbey took it and educated murna'tundr.Ki little heathens with it, and bow cm it would if you dear boys would go o wjw aad now we'll sing 'Hold the Fortr "Well, Tom. and I thought at at it, and we sad W4 d get up a menagerie, and we'u take turn' playing animals, and we'd let folks sea it -or ten ceati piece, and make

a lot of money, aid do ever so much good. We got a book full of pictures of animals, and we made skins out of cloth to go all over us, so that we'd lok Just like animals when we had them on. We had a lion's and a tiger's and a bear's and a rhinoceros's skin, b3ides a whole lot of other . As fast as we got the skins made we hung them up in a corner of tha barn where n . body could see thero. Th way we made them wai to show the pictures to mother and Aunt Eliza, and they did the cutting out and sewing, and Sue she painted tbe stripes on the tiger, and the fancy touches on the other animals. Our rhinoceros was tha beet animal we hid. The rhinoceros is a lovely animal when he' alive. lie U almost as big as an elephant, and he has a tkia that is so thick thst you can't shoot a bullet through it un

less you hit it in a place that is a little softer than the other place. He has a horn on the end of his nose, and ho can toes a tieer with it till the t'ger feels sick, and says he won't play any more. The rhinoceros lives in Africa, and he would toss 'rnott all the natives if it wasn't that the5 fasten an India-rubber ball on the end of til bom, so that when he trios to toes anybody, the born doesn't hurt, and after a while the rhinoceros gets discouraged, and ays, 4 0h, well, what's the good anyhow?" and goes away into the forest. At least ttiat is what Mr. Travers says, but I don't belie vo it; for the rhinoceros wouldn't stand still and let the natives put an India-rubber ball on his horn, and they wouldn't want to waste India rubber balls that way when they could p'ay lawn tennis with them. Last Saturday afternoon we had our first grand consolidated exhibition of the greatest menagerie on earth. We had two rows of chairs in the back yard, and all our folks and all ToVs folks came and we took in a dollar and sixty cents at the door which was the back gate. I was a bear, first of all, and growled so natural that everybody said it was really frightful. Then it was Tom's turn to be animsl, and he was to be the racing rhinoceros of Central Africa. I helped dress him in the barn, and when he was dressed he looked beautiful. The rhinoceros's skin went all over him, and was tied togethor so that he couldn't get out of it without help. His horn was made of wood painted white, and his eyes weie two agates. Of course he couldn't see tcroi gh them, but they looked natural, and as I was to lead him, he didn't need to sae. I had just got him outside the barn, and had begun to say, ''Ladies and rentlemfln, this is the rasing rhinoceros," when ho gave the mo3t awful yell you ever heard, and got up on his hind-legs, and began to rush around as if be was crszy. He ruhod against Aunt Eliza, and upset her all over tie MtG'.nnis . girls, and then he banged up against the water-barrel, and upset that, and then he foil into the hot bed, and broke all theglvie. You never saw such an awful sight. The rhinoceros kept ye'dinr: all the time, only nobody couM understand what he said, and pulling at his had with his tore-paws, and jumping up and down, and smashing everything in his way, and I went after him just as if I was a Central African hunting a rhinocoros. I was si rnott frightened, and as for the folks, tby ran into the house, all except Aunt Eliza, who had to be carried in. kept as close behind the rhinoceros as 1 I could, begging him to be quiet, and tell me what wa3 tho matter. After a while he lay down on the ground, and I cut the strings of his skin, po that ha could get his his head out and talk. Ho said he was 'most d?ad. The wasps had built a nest in one of his hiad-legs as it was hanging in the barn, and they had stung him nntil they got tired. He said he'd never have anything more to do with the mensgerie, and went homo with his mother, and my mother said I must give him all the money, because he had suffered so much. Bat. as I etid, I won't be dUcourged, and will try to do good, and be useful to others the next time I see a fair chance. Briggs uid Dolt. Lord Macaulay's definition of politeness, "Bonevelence in trifiVs,'' was once impreetively illustrated by that good governor and excellent Carülian gentleman, George N. Brigg, of Massachusetts. One dav, while walking on tho main ctrect of lttfield, he was overtaken by a shower. Stepping into a store, he stor-d in tho doorway, umbrella in hand, waiting for the shower to pass away. Just then a voung colored woman came along. She was well dressed, but, apparently, was too timid to seek the shelter of fered by tha open stores. As she stood, ir resolute, Governor Briggs noticed her dis tress, and, stepping forward, spread his urnbrolia over her, and inaisted upon hor taking it. A few days after tha governor's death, this incident was montioned at a social gathering, by a gentloman who had witnessed it. One of the company a young man, who did not sympathize with tho gen eral admiration which the anecdote excited exclaimed petulantly ' Why, anybody could have done that!" Ys," rejoined tha witty Dr. John Todd, "but Governor Briggs did da it!" The silence of t'e youth showed that ha apprehended tbe force of Dr. Todd's emphasis on the 4did." "I am a Born Ailgger Gentleman." A story is going tbe round cf the London clubs of whica Luke, who was at one time Tweed's valet, and is now the valet ot a well-known American in London, is the hero. A youn? gentleman, fearing ho might play and drink too heavily at a club ha was ab-iut to visit, induced Luke to accompany him to bring hiui aafely borne. Arrived at tho club, permission was obtained tbat Luke should remain in the card room, instead of being sent to the servants' waiting room. As tbe night wore on and the play ers became excited and boisterous, one of them, who was losing largely, bepan swearing at everything in general, and at Luke in particular, and inq iired several times, ''what business that d d nigger had in that ro tn?" Luko said nothing for a long time, but, as tha young man did not seem inclined to drop the matter, but grow more emphatic in his demand that tbe nigger b removed, Luke finally took a card from his pocket, and with great dignity placed it on the table, Baying: "There, ir, is toy card. If yon want aoy latisiaction you can find me. You are a l a'er, sir; but I aai a born nigger gentlemsn," and, whilo the p!aye.-s were recovering from their amazement, walked coolly away. Oe of tbe obcuclt to a successful opera ting of railroads in India is the tinr. Ono of these animal had a station platform all to himself the other day, aid the station master, nrable to get at tho signals telegraphed 200 mil t headquarters to have two approaching train stopped at a neighboring signal stations in order to avert the collision he could not prevent.

He made Will crave not only Jim's pardon, but his, too, for such awkwardness. Of course this ended our game of ball. We went out in the woodshed and tried to make a trapeze out of a spar, rotten and old, but did rot succeed. At dinner Tom tittered out loud. I dropped my spoon; B.U, his knife. We were all sent away without any dinner. Tom began to howl, but soon stopped when he heard tbe master coming. It lacks only ten minutes ot study hour, and I will have to close. I want to g.et an apple before I begin. Think if I eat an cpple I can study better. I can see a man with a bor re and sleigh stuck ia the snow.

cckious. Useful and scientific. From observations made in tho Zoologie, al Gardens, London, it aeems probable that the extreme lease of life of the hippotamus Is thirty years. Thi curious story occurs in Les Mcndes of Dacembcr 16. A man who was vary clo39toatrco itrock by lightning averts that , he was saved by crouching on the ground and covering himself with a woolen umbrella. He.was enfolded in flames and completely electrified but received no hurt! A novel railway-wagon has been invented and patented in Europe. It is an amphibious ort of a thine. When it cease to run on rails on land-it is capable of swimming on tha water by means of pontons attatched to both sides. It is provided with a bow and stern piece before oeing 6 et afloat, and on the latter the motsr is pieced. Such a maans of conveyance might be very useful in certain places. Additional te6ts made by M. Bade seem to prove that low texperaturo has but little to do with the fracture of railroad tires. Other things being equal, the tires are as strong, he says, in severe frost as when the temperature is normal; but low temperature increases, of course, tne rigidity cf the road and its inequalities, and so renders the shock received by the tire3 very violent, producixg at times disasters which are attributed to changes in the metal. The Lancet says ''it Is high time that attention were directed to the surject of narcotics generally, and the uee of choral and bromide of potassium in particular. Incalculable injury is being dene, and public opinion is being grievously misled by the tolerance given to theue of 'sleeping draughts, falsely so-called. In regard to this matter and that cf tha reckler s uia of hypodermic injections of morphia, tho profession should seek to form a de'iberate judgment, and gravely deliver itself. At the present moment we are under a heavy rcf poncibliity, which it is idla to deny and vain to disown." Geological examination of the delta of the Mississippi shows that for a distance of about 303 miles there ara buried forest of Urge trees, one over tha other, with inter f paces of sand. Ten distinct forest growths of this description have boon observoi, which it is believed must have succeeded each otber. Of these trees, known as the bald cypress, soma have been found over 25 icet in diameter, and ono contained 5,700 rings; in some instances, too, hugo trees have grown over the stumps of others equally largo. ' From these facts geologists Lave assumed the antiquity cf esch loreEt growth at 10,000 years, or" 100,000 for all. The total eclipse on the 6th of May next wi 1 latt six minutes, and no longer; one will probably occur within the next hundred ytars. It will be partially visible in many places, but few will see it in its entirety, as its path lies almost entirely through the ocean, touching land nowhere but a little island in tho outh Pacific called Caroline Island, whi& is out of tha track ot any established commerce or travel. Tho French Government has determined to send an expedition to that island, and it is probable a grand international gathering of astronomers will most there to take part iu the scientific quest. After all, M. Faye maintains there is nothing very difficult about understanding tbe reaeons why comets undergo sudden changes of form as tney approach or recede frcm the sun. Two causes are assigned. First, attraction tend to decompose bodies of very small mes and great bulk when they come within its influence. And comets are concededly very light in comparison with the quantity of rnatt'T they contain. Secondly, there ccmes into play the action of eolsr repulsion, which arises from tho incandescence of comet ary materials when freed from great pressure and subjected to inteare heat. What wag relati7ely solid becomes nebulous. But these theories do net appear to cover the whole ground. . Sugar has been denounced by modern chemist as a subetanca tbe effects of which on dyspeptics are deplorable. A writer in the &edicin Prtctician doas not partake of these tears. He cites the case of a djspeptic doctor, who, for twenty years, had a terror of sugar, but who now consumes 3 ounces daily without inconvenience. Enterinc the field of experiment in this direction ha found that a dog ate 89 grains of sugar wiUi 200 hundred of other food, and two hours after its stomach showed but little food; the mucous lining ff tha stomach was red and highly congested, and tha congestion of tbe liver waf notable. An animal, opened after eating 200 grains of food and no sugar, showed 90 to 100 grains of food undigestoi. Sugar, then, favors the secretion of the gastric juice. 'I can't hold this baby any long9r." cried out the young hutbant and lather, its"getting too beavy." "Pshaw, Ed ard," replied a mud d voice" from the other room. 'You ueed to hold me for hours and never complain, and the baby is not a feather compared to what I was " "I was a fool," said Elward, and she was too sle py to dispute with him. No More liard times. If you will stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich food and atyle, buy good, healthy food, cheaper and better clothing. g-t more real and substantial things of life every way, and especially stop the foolish habi: of employing exrenMve quack doctors or using so much of the vile humbug medicine that does you only.ba'-n-, but put y mr trust in that simple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters, that cures alwajf- at a trifling cost, and you will te gxd times and have good health.
