LITTLE PEOPLE.

THE LITTLE PET.

3'm Jiwt a w« bit lassie, with a lassie's winsome way*, And worth my weight in solid gold, my t'ncle Johnny nays My little curly noodle bolds a thimble full of sense Not quite vias much as eolwnon's—but his iras «o lia mcime! know that mgar plums are sweet, that ••no, my love, means yes That when I'm big I'll always wear my pretty Sunday dress, And Ioan count—'leven, slx/nine, five—and say my ABC. Now have you any taffy, dear, .that you could give to me? I'm Bridget's ••Torment of her life, makes her brain ran wild." And mama's "Darling little El/," and gran maV "Blessed child And Unele Johnny's "Touch we not," and papa's "Gyptlan Queen." I make them stand about, you see most be what they mean. For opening hard, old stony hearts, I have two precious keys, And one Is, "Oh, I thank you, sir," the oth er's, "If you please." And If these do not answer, I know another trick: I squeeze two ml*hty tear-drops oat—that melts 'cm mighty quick. I'm sweet as any lily bed, and sweeter too

I s'pose

But that's no reason why I shouldn't rum pie up my clothes. Ob, would I be an angel, If an angel never cries. Nor soils its pretty pinafore a matin' aloe dirt pies! I'm but a little lassie, with a thimbleful of sense And as to lx?lng very wise, I best make no pretense But when I am a woman grown, now don'i you think I'll do, If only Just about as good as dear mamma and you

Where ar© you going?" asked a llttlo boy of another. who had slipped on an Icy pavement. "Going to get up!' was the blunt reply. "iSt

Come, Charlio, gal rip It's t'le'carlv bird that catches the worm, you know/' "I know, sis, but I've had the worms, and I don't want thqin any more, you know." "Oh, pa, Mr. Smith was hers this morning, and when ma told him th you would not boat home till late, be said her lips were like honey, and that ho wished he was a bee, and then he kissed her. They gave me a stick of candy not to toil any one, but I don't think they'd mind you, you're so well acquainted with ma."

A little girl in the north end wrs promised by her mother that she could KO on a visit whon tho blue sky appeared. She watched a small spe. ol bltio "no longer than a man's hand" which was Anally obscured by the clouds. Then she began to cry. "What is the mattor?" asked her raotber.

They's squeezed it all up" replied the disappointed little one. Little five-year-old being admonish* od by his papa that he would have to lie chastised for some grievous disobedience, went to his little bed in a more morions mood than usual. Next morning, tho thought still hanging upon his mind like a littlo Incubus, he moped around for some time as if he had lot-t Noniothing. Finally unbosoming his distress to mamma, ho asked her advice. She said, "If I were in vour plnee, dear, I would go to papa and tell him I would rather take It at once and" bo done with it." The little culprit went to tho shop whore papa was at work, and stood around with a sober seriousness indicative of some great troublo ifpon his mind. Papa worked on in silonco, which seemed an ill omen to the littlo fellow, but at last, conquering his dread sufficiently to admit of spoech, he said, "Papa, you may whip mo now, but ploaso, papa, don't whip hard.1' Pan:i could not admit the chastisement iMtogether, but his arm was nearly unnerved, and the young hopeful, having atoned, as he understood it, his offense, went to bis play with great cheerfulness, tolling mamma "it didn't hurt tnaeb."

ORIGIX OF FAMILIAR WORDS. The word "quiz," to make fun of, or poke fun at a person, was the coinage of a theatrical manager in Dublin, who at a drinking party with his friends on Saturday night., whon tho conversation turned upon tho subject of words, offered to bet tho wine that ho could then and there coin word which would be in the mouths of all Dublin next day. Tho hot boing taken and the parly dls-

ftoys

ersed,

tho manager called up his calland runnors, gave them pieces of chalk, and ordered them to run all over the city, chalking the word "quia" on ovorv door, shutter and foncethey came to. This was dono, and as a matter of course the now word was in everybody's mouth tho next day. The manager won his hot, and his word is now in all rospoctablo dictionaries.

The slang expression for death, "kicking tho buclcet," had its origin from one Bolsovor, who, In England, a great while ago, committed suicide by standing on a bucket till he kicked the bucket from under him.

The word bumper, meaning a full drink whou friends aro drinking, is a corruption of the toaat offered in French to the Pope, when the Catholic roligion was in the ascendant in Kogland"au bon per©."

To dunn, to press for inonoy due comes from one Joe Dunn, a famous ballitlof Liucolu, in England, during the reign of Henry VII. was so uncommonly successful in collecting money that when a man refused to pay, the creditor was asked why he didn't Dunn him.

Humbug. Is a corruption of the Irish words "uiu bog," pronounced com bug, signifying soft copper, or pewter, or brass, or worthless tnonev, such as was made by James II at the Dublin minttwenty shillings of whieb was worth only two pence sterling. At first applied to worthless coin, the word lx» came tho general title of *nything false or counterfeit,

TJ»« sign via: signifying to wit, or namely, it an abbreviation of "videllcot,'. but the third letter was not originally It was the mark used in tnedlclno, for a dracllm, in writing, much resembles a, and in vix, was simply used as a mark or sign or abbreviation.

WHEN Johuy Llnd was IN this country she once attended the B»thel church in Hoston, where the well-remembered Father Taylor was pastor. The good man, who did not know that the was present, waa requested, as he entered the churrh, to preach on amusements. The church was crowded, and the pul-pit-stairs were filled. The sermon opposed dancing, card-playing and thea-tre-going, but approved music. The preacher paid a glowing trl but* to the power ol song, and to tho goodness, modesty aud charity of the sweetest of all singers, "now lighted on those shoroa. Jenny I.ind was leaning forward and clapping her hands with delight, when a tall person ros& on the pulpit-stairs and inquired whether any one who died at one of Miss Lind% concerts would go to Heaven. Disgust and contempt swept over Father Taylor's filed as he glanced at the interloper. "A Christian will

wherever he dies, and a fool will be a fool wherever ho is—even if he ts on the steps of the paljiit."
