CTHE L1TTLK PEOPLE.

Bored of education—The truant. it A Graceless Child.—Uncle George ••For all we're going to receive," Ac.

Tinv Tim: Now read your plate, Aunt"Mary, and see what that saying, Where doe* this horse car ran said the old gentleman from tbe ooon try to tbe boot-ljlack. "Dnnno," said tbe imp of tbe blacking bottle, "the bosses run at the nose."

A school inspector, visiting school, said, "Now, children, who loves all men T" Tbe question was hardly pot before a little girl, not four years Id. answered, "All women."

Smart boy "Papa, is it fair lor tbe teacher to nog m© for what I don't do7" Indignant father: "No, iny son—no, by no means." Smart boy: "Well, then, what made him flog me to-day when I didn't do my sums 7"

Two little girls slept in the same bed, and in the morning one of them said to the other, "Did yon hear it thunder last night?" "No. Did it thunder?" said the other. "Yes, awfnlly." "Then wby didn't you wake me up?" was the petulant response, "for you know I never can sleep when it thunders?"

Pa," said a son to bis father, "what is moant by 'chip of the old block?' "Wby, my son, do you ask tbe question "Because I was in Engfleld this morning, and told tbe

Sentlemen

What i« th" matter he asked. Papa, I ivo lost all my marbles." Of -onr?je God punishes you for not going to church."

Hut papa, neither did Joseph £0— an 1 be has Von!" Home children at the dinner "Table were discussing that which has often troubled the houds of older and wiser porsons:

Wasn't Adam a good man boforo he got a wife?" Of course he was," answered a little girl. ilow long was ho a good nun after ho got a wife

A very short time." "What made him a bad mun aftor be got :i wife?"

At this innctur© a little fellow spoke up: "Miss Ann, I can answor that question."

Well, what is it?" Eve mudo him eat tbe wrong apple."

DEAR OLD O HAND MOTHER., "Mho sits by the fire—dear old lady! —with nicely crlrapod and plaited-c tpbordered, and tbe old fashioned spectacles as pleasant a picture of the Home Grandinotbor as any lvilng heart could wish to aee. She is the oracle of the family tho record of births, deaths, and marriages the narrator of old rev olutlonary stories, that keep young eyes bright and wide awake till the evening log falls to ashes. Whatshould wo do wilhoutlhe Home Grandmother? How man/ little faults she bides 1 What a delightful 'special nloader1 she is, when the switch trembles ovor the llttlo erring favorite's head Art you nunlahod often?' lnouircd a flaxenhaired youngster of his 'mate. 'Nol' was the prompt •no I I've

halt-lndlgunnt answor: 'sol lf ve got a grandmother 1' Love that good woman. Sit at her foot, and learn ot her patient lessons from tbe past. Although she knows no grammar—perhaps cannot tell tho boundaries of different States, or tbe history of nations she has that, perhaps, which excels all learned lore. She has life's wisdom. She has fought life's battle, and has conquered. She has laid her treasures away, and has grown purer, stronger, through tears, and sorrow and suffering! Never let her ftwl the sting of ingratitude. Sit at her feet. She will teach you all tho dangers of life's journoy, aud tell you how to go cheerfully and smilingly to th© gst© ot death, trusting, like her, in blissful hereaffer." Every reader, who is so Jortonate as to count among his children's household gods" a good grandmother, will see, in this graphic little sketch reflection ot an influence which is only second to that of the mother of his offspring.

A (toon joke la told of a llttlo fouryoar old icllow, having disobeyed his father, was about to incur the penalty or a switching. The father doliber.itely prepared a rod, whilo his son stood a M«d and silent spectator. As the parent approached to th© xinploa&Ant duty tho boy started at a brisk run towards a hoighbortng hUl. The father pursued, and for a time the youngster Increased tho distaaos b©tw©en thorn but gradually his strength began to fall, and whea ho reached th© bill and began to ascend, ho soon lost his vantage ground. Nearer and nearer th© Irate Father approached, and just as th© top of th© hill was reached, and he oam© 1 within arms length of th© little fugitlve, who wn ready to fall from exhaustion, th© boy quickly faced about, 1 dropped upon tb© ground, and with an indescrlbaol© cast of countenance Mclaimed, "Pap* that—makes a follow— blow—don't U?" This "changing the sutyect" wss so extremely ludicrous that the father laughed heartily ov©r the sfraetgy which his hopeful son exhibited, and th© rod was not used. %4t

a-'

Oh," said Unci© John, with a twinkl© In his ©y©, "that's all right, all right. Yon come about as near to a mioJater as a shoulder do«s to a ham."

TBE oradlt aystom has b©an carried to a very An© point in tons of th© rand districts If w© may Judg© from the following "How'strad©now,Squire?"

Wa'al, cash trade's kindar dull naow. M^Jor Betay Nipper has bort an egg's worth of tea,-ana go4 trotted for It till her sp©ckl©d pallet lsys."

that while hunting I saw

fty squirrels up on© tree. Tbev kept trying to make me say that %did not see but forty-nine, and because I wouldn't say so, they said I was a 'chip of tbe old block!'" "Hem! well, my son, they meant that you were smart and bonest like your pa. You can go to play now."

Worthy father of a na-

Last Sunday inerous family was taking one of his little ones, a child ot seven years, to church. On the way tbe little lollow meta playmato, and stopped to play marbles. A quarter of an hour after, bis father saw biui coming to bim bathed in tears.

Vxri.B John Vernam, of Livingston county, N. Y.. had a droll way or expressing hi* view*, and evidently had some practical ideas about the ministerial commission. Every Christmas he sent to each clergyman In th© village of Mount Morris a flrst-class bam ot liberal dimensions. Some years ago a new preacher settled tn the town, and startod a now sect. When Cbriav mas cam© the old settled clergymen received their large hams, but the new apostle was favored with a small shoulder. Meeting Unci© John, bo aak©d why he gave to the other brethren a "big ham" and to him a "llttlo shoulder?'
