What Boys and Girls Did Then.

Froi a Harpers, Young People.

Two thousand years ago! Do you 'ever think about the little boys and girls who lived so long ago? Well, in the celebrated country of Greece they were as fond of Hport as children of the present day, only they had not so many wonderful toys made for them as arc manufactured now. But could we look baok it them at some of.their Sports jwe should find them very happy children, and it might surprise you to know how many games have been played century after century, and are still played and enjoyed to-day.

The babies hall their rattles and brightcolored balls, the children their hoops and balls, and what we call "Blindman's Buff' was a favorite game arnpng them. Perhaps you know about the old giafit Polyphomus, who was master of a race of one-eyed giants, and who devoured the Greeks that were round his cave, until they succeeded in putting out his eye, and how afterwards he still groped about and endeavored to find them, but in vain. Well, the boy's and girls of, Greece used to repnscW this (story by'the game of "Bllndman's Buff." The one blindfolded was called Polyphemus, and Hie others would hide, and pretend (hey were the Greeks whom he was to find. Another way of playing this game w-as for the children to run round about the blindfolded person and one of them touch liim. Ii'he could tell correctly who it was. the two exchanged places.

In Athens, and other cities and towns as well, you might almost any day see a whole group of children hopping along on one foot as though the-other was hurt but no, it was only for the. fun, as evciy child of every nation knows, of seeing who could hop farthest. Sometimes a boy would be allowed the use of both his feet, and the others would try to overtake him by hopping on only one foot, and for tho.se who could do this it was ac counted a great victory.

In one of their gaittes they nsod a stone called the Diane, and each of the players had to stand at a certain -distance from it and in turn throw stones at it. But the •one who missed had rather a difficult task to perform, for the rule of the game was that he must be blindfolded and carry the successful player round on his back until he could go directly from the standing point to the Diane. A sport not requiring quite so much skill, and one which many of you ha^e perhaps practiced, consists in setting a stick lupright in the soil wherever it was loose and moist, and trying to disloge it by throwing other sticks at it, keeping of, course At a certain distance.

Who will attempt to enumerate the many games played by a ring of children running about, one in the center? There must be a wonderful charm about them, so much are they played by both boys and girls in every country, Whether Little Sallie Waters had her origin in Greece I will not pretend to say but we do know that games were played in a similar manner. Here are some, enjoyed especially by the boys. One boy sat on the ground, and the others, forming themselves into a ring,,ran round him, one of them hitting him as they went if the boy in the center could seize upon the one who struck him, the captive took his place. This did very well for the smaller boys, but the older ones had anr arangement a little in advancc of it. The one in the ceijter was to move about with a pot on his head, holding it with his -left hand, and the others running around, would strike him and cry. "who has the pot To which he replied, "I, Midas," trying all the time to reach one of them with his foot, aM the first one he touched wTas obliged to cary the pot in turn.

One of the most interesting games, and one which you would all 'injoy, was the twirling of the ostrakon. A line was drawn on the ground, and the' group of boys separated into two parties. A small earthenware disk, having one side black and the other white, was brought forward, and each party chose a side, black or white. It was then twirled along the line, the one thrcwing "Night or day," the black side representing night and the bite day. A pirtyi whose side came up was called victorious, and ran after the other, who fled in all directions. The one first caught was styled "ass," and was obliged to sit down, the game proceeded without him. And so it was contenued until the whole number was caught. This was excellent exercise, and often played by the hour together.

A favorite game alii on the girls was played with five little balls or pebbles. They would toss them into the air and endeavor to catch as many as they could •on the back of the hand or between the fingers. Of course some of them would often fall on the ground but these they were allowed to pick up, provided they did so with the fingers of the same liautl on which the others rested, which required considerable skill. The French girls have a very pretty game of this, which is played with five little glass 'tails.

We must not omit the ancestors of Punch and Judy, who lived in these early •times, though probably under different names. But, however they were called, they were just as queer-looking a family, and their arms would move, their shoulders shrug, their eyes roll, and their feat cnt as strange capers as those of their descend ants, and I have no doubt afforded the little ones and perhaps some older •persons as much pleasure then as now.

N THE SELECTION OF A 11USBAND.

[Quincy Modern Argo.J

As I endeavored in a recent article in The Argo, called Woman's Risk," to point out some of the risks of woman in marriage, it does not seem amiss to aid those willing to accept advice, by some suggestions on the selection of a husband. I know that upon many, advice of this kind is thrown away but there are young women who look upon marriage as a sacred relation, aud one not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly, and who have seen the misery and unhappiness growing out of improper marriages, who always Veceive gratefully any suggestions on this important subject.

If a woman has made up her mind to have a dress of any particular material or color, every dry goods store in the city, is visited in search of her heart's desire. If unsuccessful, she will send away for it, and then if it is not the exact shade, she is miserable, and does not enjoy the wearing of the dress. If the season for anew hat or bonnet has come, every fashionable millinery opening is attended and hats innumerable are tried on, and much counsel is asked of those on whose good taste she relies. If a new carpet is needed for her parlor, days are spent in looking for one which will harmonize with the other appointments of the room. The dress is worn for a few months, the hat for a short season, and the carpet is replaced in a few years, at most, by another. In the selection of a husband who will make her weal or woe for a lifetime, she often seems to spend much less time and thought. g*"

Thi3 is especially true of a young girl in her teehs who, if allowed to marry the man of her choice -at that time, would often make shipwreck of her happiness. She meets a young man, he is good company as she counts it, is handsome, dresses well, and what inore is wanted? A "love of a moustache," glorious eyes," splendid form," and tony" dress, are the ne plus ultra of her desires. If these are all the qualifications he can claim, happy for her if wise parents separate her from her idol, before the final step of marriage is taken. Sometimes to these personal charms, which makes a young man so attractive to a young girl, that of worth is added

v"\t

it is often all the same to her if she aagines she is in love with him. A ./ife of twenty years told me that all sha thought of was, that she was going to marry a handsome man, and into a good family. Very happily for her, worth was added to these very pleasant, but not at all indispensable qualifications.

We wili now consider some of tho indispensable qualifications in a husband. A woman who loves a man well enough to marry him, takes a pride in his good name—indeed .it is as the apple of her eye." If he indulges in that which degrades his manhood, he soon loses what She holds in such esteem—character. First then is temperance, for upon that rests all the other requirements for, if a man drinks, he certainly has already lost that which makes character, steadfastness, and with it, the esteem and confidence of his fellow men. See that he. is honorable in every relation of life just in all his dealings. The saying,- When poverty comes in at the door, loves flies out of the window," does not always prove true but, as home is a little kingdom of itself, it takes money to keep up the credit of this kingdom it take* means to give Hie maternal sovereign timet to attend to the higher wants of her young subjects, which cannot be administered to, by proxy, or by trust in Providence but must come direct from & mother's love in the well-being of, her children. If a mother is obliged, tfirougli straightened means, to neglect

this high duty, her children will have -J°

jealous, or selfisfti. It passionate, he will vent on her devoted head, what he would not dare to give expression, on anyone who has her entire confidence.

There is still a ver£ important factor in the quality that goes to make up the whole, and that is disposition. A good disposition is of great moment, for a wife suffers most if a husband is passionate* name. A3 life is a stem reality, a woman wants for a life-companion, one on whom she can rely at all times, and else. If jealous, every look, action, and word of the wife is misconstrued. If selfish, she may expect to be a slave to all his wishes, if she wishes to keep him bearable, while hers are left entirely in the background. Select a man of domestic tastes, for the happiest home is that where the husband is often found in his leisure hours. The efforts of the wife to beautify home will be appreciated by him. A man, who is demonstrative in his affections, is to be preferred to one whose love a wife must always take on trust for there arc^times in every woman's life, when a loving word, or a tender caress, will give her strength anew'for every burden.

The qualifications considered are of

prime importance not one can be spared from the list. I will mention one minor point, neatness in person and dress. If a man is careless in this respect before marriage, that state will be apt to give license to become more indifferent and, if a wife has delicate tastes,'they will of

I found the following rhyme, on the selection of a husband, in an old book:

Of beauty, just enough to bear inspection: I Of candor, sense and wit, a good selection Enough of love for one who needs protection

Who scorns the words,'I'll keep her in subjection. Wisdom to keep him right in such direction.

And it very properly ends with the couplet:

Should I e'er meet with such in my connection, Let him propose. I'll offer no objection.

And girls, I hope you will offer none, when a man of this kind makes his appearancej.- But you

maY

wonder how it

can be known that a man is possessed of all these qualities. First, rely upon the matured judgments of your parents. Make them your confidential friends, and never encourage the attentions of any, of whom they do not approve. Second, do not put too much stress upon those things, which are but the outside gloss, as dress, manner, style but think much more of those qualities which come from within, and are last. $

Human nature is a book very hard to read aright, although many profess a perfect reading of it. Almost every day some community is startled by the news of the dereliction of some one, who before had stood high, and whose character seemed above 'reproach and thus one more is scored for the fallacy of the reading of human nature, simply by a knowledge based upon slight acquaintance, or a general opinion. In every case of this kind, there was no doubt a weakness, apparent only to tjgg, person intimately. V-r. V?

This should be an argument against hasty marriages for a person can only be known well by long and intimate association. This does not necessarily imply a waiting «s long as that of Jacob's for Rachel. And girls—who are not engaged—if you only knew the delicious charms, wholly undefinable, of a happy engagement, you would not hasten to end it.

When you meet thV'lfttfi whoM^both heart and judgment approve, and bring to him the full complement of qualities a wife should possess, in order to make the union full and complete, you may safely enter the holy estate of matrimony being sure to bear with you a willingness to recognize any want or incapacity in yourself, so that it may be overcome or, finding your husband not wholly perfect, as you will be sure to do, to be happy in spite of it.' Then the words spoken at the altar, will bear their full significance "'for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer^ to love and to cherish, til! death us do pare."

[N. Y.Correspondent Philadelphia Record.] I know a brighjt newspaper man who was odfeted twenty shares of Bell telephone stock as ptytitsiit for an article he was asked to write in a tfade .paper. He declined it, and set his price at $75 or $10 a column, which' was paid.

Now he is unhappy, because the stock is $8,500 a share, and he might haive £70,000 if he had done otilerwise. I know of an unhappy law firm—that of Porter, Lowry, Soren & Stone—whose head is^Judge Porter. When the Bell telephone company began to exist they had prospects an4 stocks—no money nor lawyers.

With prospects and stocks they sought tqgr^aic lawyers, and Sorter's firm was le iaey approached. The Company laugted to soornijjsf^ehiwyers. ney or but h^is^e of our ymmgj^eifwho wants
