CUR BOYS, TELLING FORTUNES. I'l] tell you tv o fortunes, my fine little lad, For voir to ace pt or refuse; The vie of them god, the other one bad: Now hear them, and say which you choose. 1 see by my gifts within reach ol my hand, A fortune right fair to behold: A house and a hundred good acres of land, With harvest fields yeilow as good. I see a great orchard with boughs hanging down With apples rus<et and red; I see droves of cattle, some white and some brown, But all of them sleek and well fed. I see droves of swallows about the barn door, See the fanning mill © hiviing so fas*, I see them threshing whea on the floor-— And pow the bright pleture has past. And | see rising dismally up in the place Of the beaut itn! Lous» and the land, A man with a fire-red nose on his face, And a Hittie brown jug in his hand. O! if you beheld him, my lad, you would wish That he were less wretched 1o 598: For hus boot toes they gape like the mouth of a fish, And lus trousers are out at the knee, In walking he staggers now this way now that, And ns eyes they stand out like a bug's, And he wears an old coat and a battered-in hat, And | think that the fault is the jug's. For the text says the drunkard shall come to e poor, And that drowsiness clothes men with rags, And he doesn’t look much like a man, I am sure, Who has honest hard cash in his bags. Now which will you choose? to be thrifty and Snug, And be right side up with your dish, Or go with your eyes hike the eves of a bug, And your shoes Like tue mouth of a fish? ~~ ALICE CARY. ————————————— ROUND MOTHER'S KNEE.

MANWELL, us about mother, “Tern little girl, chorus, Outside, it rained hopelessly, In- doors, it was afternoon, and all the games bad bien played over and over again; all the picture-books looked at; one or two little quarrels begun and atched up. Still, the rain kept the fittle ones prisoners. “Well, my dears,” said mother, see- ing there was no hope of auything else; “I must sit down to my basket of unmended stockings, but Il daresay 1 can talk «nd mend at the same time.” “Let me stand next mother,” suid Ed y, pushing Johnny and there was an out cry for place between the little men. “Father after the acrewing when you were a please!” was the I always says, ‘Gentlemen ladies,” remarked Rosie, ber chubby face, as she e's voice and look. goperal la gh at the maid's apiness, but Eddy aud th rather red faces, stepped to let their n cked fatl wi There emall Johnry, w back at once, stand closer, “Nw,” said mother cheerfully, *'is it to be a funny story, or what?” “Ob, somefing dre please, mammy,” lisped Ollie, t youngest; ““we likes dreadinl things best.” “Well, a very dreadful thine once happened when | was quite a little girl, just like youn, Ollie; it was a fire!” The children pressed :o0 close mother was nearly stifled. “1 lived with Aunt Betsy, you know, in those days, ' she we.t on, “and yon also know that I haa no little brothers nor sisters. In the big house, with many rooms sand many stairs, ther was only one pair of small feet to trot about, and they belonged to little, lonely me.” “Why didn't Aont Betsy buy an other child?” asked Rosie, with aston- ished, round ey:.s; ‘she had ought to have done that.” “You shouldn't say ‘had ought to’ I” adn onished Johnny; “and they don't sell children in shops, miss.” “Gently, gently,” said mother, her needle going in and out of the heel of one of Johnny's socks. “Instead of a child, Aunt Betsy got a kitten for me; it was the sweetest of kittens—grey, like this sock, with lovely small stripes; its motoer was a French cat.” “Are French cats dressed bettor than ours?” asked Rosie. “You mesn, is their fur prettier? This one's certainly was.” “I shouldn't have liked that kitten,” remarked Johnny, decidedly. It would have wanted to be talked to in French, I guess.” Johnny was a little boy who hated Freneh verbs “No; it seemed to know every word I said, and I christened it Flaffy. All day long we were together, night Fluffy slept in my little bed.” “Did you sleep in a room by your- self?” interrupted Eddy, s little boy who bated the dark as much as Johnny hated French verbs. ‘Yes, in a small room next to Aunt Betsy's. But after I got Fluffy I didn’t mind, for I was always so busy hushing him that 1 dropped off to sleep myself. Ome night Flaffy was particularly good. He closed his eyes in the prettiest way, and fell asl ep with his little he. Then I suppose I went to sleep. The next thing that happened was a very loud noise that awoke me. It was quite light in the room, and patter, patter sounded something on the window. ‘It’s a thunderstorm,’ 1 said to myself. Now, I was not afraid of thunder, but I knew Fluffy couldn't bear it, so I drew his head under the clothes. The | room seemed to get lighter, everything | looking quite red.

We erept right under, and there wo waited, Fluffy ana 1.” “If shere wos thunder, now mother, I'd run and hide my head in your gown,” smd Ollie ‘Yes, dear, of ocur-e; but, you see, 1'd no mother's go vm to lude in, and Aunt Betsy would not have liked a child to worry her, 80 tho kitten and I bad to ~omfort each other under the “The storm seemed to last a long time, and I should bavo fallen asleep only Flufly was so restless, and I was afraid he might escape ont of my arms.

Pres- ently, there was a ru-h of cold air; we seemed to be outside somewhere on the roof. In fact, children, it was no thanderstorm, but a fire, and the soldiers were firemen. Everyone had been save l out of the burning house, Aunt Betsy in a swoon; when she came to herself she asked for ‘‘the chi d,” then the firemen became aware that J , was somewhere in the wu per room.

They are not as a rule indigenous to this clima sbounding in such States as Florida an | Texas; but of late there have been sev. eral broods discovered here. They are | about the size of a large dove, of a light | brown or snuff color, and they spend | most of their time standing on one } | apiece, appacently asleep. But they are | not, usually, for it is said by the keepers | that each and every.one of them has its | eyes fixed on a certain small hole ia the floor just in front of the perch. Through this hole it is the misfortune nover go back, for at the first glimpse of & rat each of those nine owls dives down to the hole, and in soother minute poor rat has furnished a meal for one of them, It is related that one day a mink escaped from one of the cages and there was a stampede of rats all through the build. ing. A hundred at least tried to esca from the ravenous aaimal through this hole, but as fest as oné would put its head up into tha opening it would be nabbed by one of the waiting nine: The owls had more to eat that day than they ever had since. «| Washiogton Star, Tuene is a kind of aid which it is ly immoral for another to receive; it is the aid which takes ths place of work we ought to have done, some energy we ought to have put forth, and of character EE Dongs KR, AND MES.

That's the way-—the minute I leave the house something happens! Now we shall have ! plumber around here for a week or more, with a bill of forty or fifty dollars!” The back kitchen door had to be taken off its hinges and planed off a little, and in rehanging it Mr. ‘Bowser got in a hurry and only put one screw in the lower hinge. The cook found the ochers and laid tam aside. One day, after he had got home to dinner, the door fell askew, as might have been expected. “Now, what have you done!” shout. ad Mr. Bowser to me as the cook came in and reported. ¢¢J—1I didn’t break the door.” “You didn't!

I expect to come home any day and dnd the house in ruins.” But Mr. Bowser goes even further than this sometimes. One day a high wind blew down a portion of the back fence, and when he came home he stood and gazed at the wreck for a moment and then turned on me with; “Well, what less could huve been ex- | pected?” “What do you mean, Mr. Bowser?” “Oh, it's all right!
