THE LITTLE PEOPLE.^ rjlHE Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more We should dread the desert behind us

iis

Worse than the dark before. They are better than all the ballads That ever were Hung or said, For they are living poems,

And all the rest are dead. "Bobby, why don't yoar mother sow tip your trousers?" "Cause she's at the vestry sewing for the heathens."

In the Mission school last Sunday, Miss T. asked a little eirl: "Do you like Lamentations?" "I don't know them 'uns, but I like lam' su' peas."

A little girl was puzzling, as little girls will puzzle over things too big (or them, and she made up her mind that after all it was not so nice a thing to bo omnipresent, for "God could not go anywhere."

Times are rather dull in Danbury. It is no unusual thing to see live boys tile up to a Peruvian beer fountain, while the oldest calls for a glass of the fluid and drinks it down amid the subdued silence ol the four others, who then patiently follow him out again. Fortunate is the boy who has an invitation to one ol these entertainments. —[Danbury News.

Some of the oddest sayings of children arise from the attempt to reduce the unknown to some category of the known, or to tit familiar terms to unfamiliar objects. A little girl who had always been accustomed to understand that a body meant that portion only of a dress which requires a skirt to complete it, was told after being a spectator at a funeral, that it was only the body which was laid in the ground. •'The body!" she replied, "what do they do with the legs?" Another open-eyed observer was extremely impresses by his first view of a man in a boat, rowing rapidly down the river, and after puzzling over tho final cause of the operation for a second or two, turned round with a triumphant flash ol intelligence upon his face to exclaim, Ho's washing the spades."

YOUNO AMERICA AT THE WHEEL,, A well-known clergyman was crossing Lako Erie, some years ago, upon one of tho lako steamers, and seeing a small lnd at tho wheel steering the vessel, accosted him as follows: "My son, you appear to bo a small boy to steer so large a boat." '•Yossir," was the reply "but yon see I can do it, though." "I)o you think you understand your business, my son?" "Yes sir I think 1 f'o." "Cun you box tho cornpas?" "YesHir." "Let mo hear you box It."

i* i.

The boy did as ho was requested, when the minister said: "Well, really, you can do it. Can you box It backward?'!, "Yes sir." IJtI "Lot mo hoar yon."

ma mi a

Tho boy did again as requested, when tho ministor remarked: "I declnro, my son! You seem to understand your business."

The boy then took his turn at question asking, beginning: "Pray hir, what might bo jour business?" s? •'I am a minister of the gospel." "Do you understand yotir business?" "1 think I do, my son." "O.m you say tho lord's prayer?"

'Yea.*' "Say it." "Well, really," said the boy, upon its conclusion. "You do know it, don't you? Now say it backward." "Oh, I can't do such a thing as that. Of course—" "You can't do it, eh? Well, then, you seo I understand my business a groat deal better than you do yours."

A REMARKABLE HORSE When a brave man dies, or one wko has rendered his fellow-being service, it is fitting to mourn for him and reconnt tho many good acts in his life which have made him s® useful and so beloved. Why not the same propriety in grieving for some noblo animal, who, by'his constant faithfulness, has endeared him to all who know him

Wo do not think it beneath the dignity of a man to bo uttached to so grand an nnltuttl as a horse, and it certainly is natural to mourn for him when ho is gouo.

We know ot case rocently where tho death of a horse creatod real sadness to tho family of which he was an active member. Ho had safely carried his master through many of tlio hottest battles of the war, and had been twice wounded while In the service, liven in his old ago he could not hoar the beating of a drum or the sound of a band of music, without proudly lifting up his head and assuming an attitude of Interest and Importance. lie was twice stolon by tho rebels, each time breaking away and roturnln to bis own camp, once having a re saddlo blanket ou, and bearing evidences of having forded the river to reach tho "boys in blue." During a transfer on tho Mississippi, when many horees died tor want ol food, he gnawed into a barrel of bacon, and, when ton ml. the grease was running down tho sides of his uiguth in a most suspicious manner.

The soldiers being pleased with so pluckv a bora* tried him with "hard tack."* which ho seemed to relish as much as the bacon, and be was fed with the same during the whole trip. They also taught him to drink whisky, and'whloh to their shame, got him so "beastly" drunk that he ran away and nearly demolished his master. Many reminiscences such as these wereolten told of htm after becoming a sedate old family horse.

Those who recognise tho "Old Charley" of our sketch will be sorry to learn of his sudden deith about two weeks ago he will long be remembered as honest and trustworthy a friend as ever man possessed.—[Qulncy (III.) Whig, August 23.

STRICTLY HONEST.

A case of rather troublesome *X*ctnwis on the part of a Massachusetts lady Is reported in the Haleiu Register "X woman called at a grocery store on Thursday and made some purchases, paving cash therefore. An hour or two afterward she returned in some agitation, inquiring if a pocketbook nad been seen: she had lout hers and hoped they had found it. Nothing had been •eeu of it, and a search was Instituted, when the lost artlble was (bund behind a barrel in front of the counter. An* other half hour passed and again she Appeared, this time asking it any one had tampered with her pocketbook while it was at the store, as the money vas not all there. "How much is missing?" Inquired the trsder. "One cent," was the reply. "Here, John, said the storekeeper,

,rgire

this lady one

cent from the drawer." She took it and went on her way rejoicing. Later Next day, we understand, the woman brought bank the money, saying aho had bought a cents worth of nairplns the day before, and forgot It when she missed the pocketbook?'
