CAPITAL FUN. It was a little past twelve o'clock, and a merry group of boys were seated on the young grass, under the trees that shaded the Academy play grounds. A little later, and,they would be scattered in every direc tion at their play ; but first they must at. tend to the contents of well filled pails and baskets, where their dinners are stored away. "I should like to know," said Howard Colby, "why Joe Green never comes out here to eat his dinner with the rest of us, but always sneaks off somewhere till we all get through ?" "Guess he brings so many goodies, be is afraid we shall rob him," said another. "Pool" said Will Brown, throwing him self back on the grass, "more likely he doesn't bring anything at all. I heard my father say that the family must be badly pinched since Mr. Green was killed ; and mother said she didn't pity them, for folks had no business to be poor and proud." "Well," said Sam Merrill, "I know Mary Green asked my mother to have plain sew ing to do; but then folks do that sometimes that aren't very poor." "!And Joe is wearing his winter clothes all this warm weather, and his pants are patched behind— I sa w them," said Howald Colby, with a very complacent look at his new spring suit of light gray. "I tell you what, boys," said Will Brown, "let's look to-morrow, and see what the old fellow does biting anyway. You know he is always in his seat by the time the first bell rings, and we can get a peep into' his basket, and then be in season for roll-call." The boys agreed to this, but Ned Collins, who bad sat quietly eating his dinner, and taking no part in the conversation. Now, he simply remarked, as he brushed the crumbs from his lap, "I can't see what fun there will be in that, and it looks real mean anA anaairinr an ma_ Pm aura it is masa of our business what Joe brings for dinner. or where he goes to eat it." "You're always such a granny, Ned Col lins," said Will Brown, contemptuously.— "You've got every one of your old aunt Sally's notions." Ned could not bear to be laughed at, and it made him a little angry to hear his kind old aunt sneered at, but his eyes only flash ed for a minute, and then he sprang up, shouting, "Hurrah, boys, for foot ball !" and in five minutes the whole play ground was in an uproar of fun and frolic. The nest marling, at the first stroke of the bell, a half dozen roguish faces peeped into the school room, and, sure enough, there was Joe Green, busy plying his pen cil over the problems of the algebra lesson. It was but the work of an Instant to hurry into the little clothes room, and soon the whole group was pressing around Will Brown as he held the mysterious basket in his hand. Among them, in spite of the re monstrance of yesterday, was Ned Collins, with his fine face fairly crimson with shame, or something else; we shall see. "It is big enough to bold a day's rations for a raiment," said Henry Colby, as Will pliTit a nice white napkin. Next came a whole newspaper, a large one, too ; and then, la the bottom of the basket, was omit urn* our Forst° ; that was all. Will held It up with a comical grimace, and the boys laughed, and cheered as loudly as they dared in the school house. "See here," said Howard, "let's throw it away and fill the basket with coal and things; it will be such fun to see him open The boys agreed, and the basket was soon tilled, and the napkin placed carefully. on the top, and before the bell commenced tolling they were on their way down stairs. Ned Collins was the last to leave the room, and no sooner did the last disappear than, quick as a flash, he emptied the coal into the box again, replaced the paper, and half filled the basket, large as it was, with the contents of the bright tin pale that aunt Sally delighted to store with dainties for her darling's dinner. Ned was in his seat al most as soon as the rest, and all through the forenoon he looked and felt as guilty as the others, as he saw the sly looks and winks that were exchanged among them. Noon came, and there was the usual rush to the plothep room lir diaper baskets ; but In stead of going out to the yard, the boys lingered about the door and hall. Straight by them marched Ned Collins, with his pail on his arm. "Hello, Ned," said Sam Merrill, "where • • you going now ?" "Home," said Net, laughing, ti maw aunt Bally makingw ohlokea pie this morn ing and I am going home to get some." "Ask as to go, too," shouted Howard Colby; but piglet that moment they saw Joe Green carrying bin balket into the schoolroom. • - "I _should think he'd inspect something," whispered Will Brown; "that octal most be • ewhd beav, • Joe disappeared in the school room, and the curious eyes that pawed *rink the =rot of the door word loon, rewarded' by seeing him oponbis. blab*. 1149 aleiliagrippo heayy . on Ms etontitclir libili*edlffward Colby, Sat epperer,igy he only *idled to gel his paper' to Mid;Mt toot it by the coiner 111 4 1 5 ,111Ilind it watt that: He looked In aurpriee, and" then In a Ilbrt of bewildered way, took otft a couple or aunt Elally's great crispy doughnnts, theb one of the delicious round pies he ilia Wu main Ned's hoods, bread mid butter, 4 and snail honey as no body's beesbui kees eirer made, and the plump white lau' of a `silkiest.

Then he 14ed his heath on his desk, and Freddie Wirson, one of the smallest boys, whispered, "I guess he's praying ;" so they all stole away to the play gmund with out speaking another word. "That's some of Ned Collins work," said Will Brown after a while. "It's just like him." , "I'm glad of it any way," said Sam Mer rill; "I've felt tkit mean all the forenoon u if I had been robbing a hen roost. The Greens are not to blame only having cold potatoes to eat, and I don't wonder that Joe didn't want us fellows to know it." "I like Joe Green the best of any boy in school," said little Freddie Wilson, "and I think It was too bad to try and make inn of him." "Nobody asked what you thought," said Will Brown, fiercely, "wait till your opinion is called for. The little boy looked very meek, and ate his din& In silence, but the fact was Will Brown began to fell uncomfortable. "Father says Mr. Green was the bravest man in the company," said Sam Merrill, "and that he wouldn't have been killed, on ly ho thought of every one else before him self." "I tell you what," said good natured Tom Granger, "I move and second that we are all ashamed of ourselves ; all in favor of this motion will signify it by giving three cheers for Ned Collins—there he comes this min ute, brim full of chicken pie." The boys Sprang to their feet, and swing ing their caps In the air, gave three hearty cheers for Ned Collins, and even Will Brown joined the chorus with as load a hurrah as any of them. Sam Merrill explained the thing to Ned, and he only said in reply , !Tye often heard aunt Sally say that 'it was a poor kind of fun that must be earned by hurting somebody's feelings,' and what aunt Sally says is almost always so." "RscsoN I couldn't drive a trade with you, Squire," said a genuine specimen of the Yankee pedler, as he stood at the door of a merchant in St. Louis. "I reckon you calculate about right, for you can't do ways." "Wall, I guess you needn't get huffy 'bout it. Now, here's a dozen genooine razor straps, wuth two dollars and a half, you may hey 'em for two dollars." "I tell you I don't waut any of your strops so you may as well be giing along." "Wall, now, look here, Squire. I'll bet you twenty-five dollars that if you make me an offer for them 'ere strops, we'll have a trade yet." "Done," said the merchant, and he staked the money. "Now," said ho, chaflingly, "I'll give you sixpence for the strops." "They're your'n!" said the Yankee, as he quietly pocketed the stakes. "But," con tinued he, after a little reflection, and with a burst of frankness, "I calculate a joke's a joke ; and if you don't want them strops I'll trade back." The merchant looked brighter. "You're not so bad a chap after all," said he. "Here are your strops ; give me the money." "There it is," said the Yankee, as he took the strops and handed bock the sixpence. "A trade is a trade, and a bet is a bet. Ihe next time you trade with that ere sixpence don't buy rasur straps." Tam: WONDERFUL PRAYER.—Which ? Why that one which your mother taught you. Did you ever think, short though it be, how much there is in it? Like a dia mond in the crown of a queen, it unites a thousand sparkling gems in one. It teaches all of us, every one of us, to look to God as our parent—" Our Father." It prompts us to raise our thoughts and desires above the earth—" Who art in Heaven." It tells us we must reverence our Heaven y Father—" Hallowed be tby name." II breathes a missionary spirit— kingdom come." And a submissive, obedient spirit—" Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." And a trusting spirit—" Give us this day our daily brtad." And a forgiving spirit—" Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." And a cautious spirit—" Lead us not into temptation." And a dependent spirit—" But Deliver us from evil," And last of all an adoring sprit—"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen." Now is it not bath a wonderful and a beautiful prayer ? Jesus, our dear Saviour, taught It, and who could better tell us how to pray to His Father and our Father, to His God and oar God. A ncooaots young man was driving a horse, which was in the habit of stopping at every house on -the roadside. Passing a country tavern, where were collected to gether some dozen countrymen, the beast, as usual, ran opposite the door, and then stopped, spite of the young man, who ap plied his whip with all his might to drive the vicious horse on ; the men on the porch commenced a hearty laugh, and some in quired if he would sell that horse. "Yes," said the young man, "but I am not recommend him, he once belonged to a butcher, and stops whenever he hears any calves blest." The crowd retired to the bar in silence. REIM ON PEAYING.—"Do you think," I asked, "that the Lord will let me see in this the salvation of the souls for whom I pray "I cannot say as to that.

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISRMERT A lady, who had no idea of looking fbr a husband, but with large proclivities for mischief and for fun, put a matrimonial ad vertisement in the Herald, with directions for answers to be sent to the Broadway Post-office. As the advertisement appealed to the practical appreCiation, by assuming a neat little fortune, in addition to an agreea ble person, seed of such temptation could not well fall Idly upon such fertile bottom as is offered by the city of New York. On the first day that succeeded the advertise ment, the lady received seventeen replies; on the second day, thirty two ; and on the third, seventy-two—an extent and ardor of appreciation, which she - was not prepared to expect. Bewildered by the warm volume of &dor; ation and entreaty which issued from this hymeneal magazine, the lady called to her aid five ladies as mischievous as herself. One pair of hands and one mind were, of course, quite uncqua ly to the task of an. ' swering all ; so the batch of billetdoux was divided equally among them, and each was to make an appointment with the writers on the following Saturday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, on the lower side of the upstairs saloon of a certain popular restaurant in Broadway. Each of the ladies, moreover, who took the task in charge chose a differ ent colored paper for replies. Finally it was agreed that the whole siX should be present at the interview, and each should wear the exact costume prescribed for the inamorata whom the sighing swains would be there to see. On the other hand, the gentlemen were to appear in all the varie ties of attire and position which female in genuity and mischief could devise. One was requested to wear a blue coat and bright brass buttons ; another to have his hair parted In the middle ; one was to be eating a plate of pork and beans, which, said the ingenious writer who dictated it, "you can scarcely expect will be called for by any one else." Others were to be par taking of various dishes, or to 'place them selves in such attitudes and postures as were designated by the writer. At four o'clock on the prescribed Satur day afternoon, every chair at every table on the lower side of the upstairs saloon, was filled with sleek looking and highly perfum ed Leanders, all gazing into each other's faces, and each secretly cursing the luck which wedged him so closely out of the killing position and displays which he had been meditating ever since he got his,note. And how the dishes smoked, and the won dering waiters flew! Even the perplexed landlord, amazed at this miraculous flow of business, was obliged to drop his own mut ton-chop, and called out the entire force ef the establishment to meet the clamorous if not threatening demands of gentlemen who feared they might not get their telegraphic plates of duck, or mess of pork and beans in time. At length, the clash of sheen and the click of stiff skirts was heard coming up the stairs one minute after four, and an inamorata ap peared, dressed in dark green, with deep fur cape, and abundant drooping lace. She was watered on the back of the head with an infinitesimal bonnet, and carried in her hand the magic drift of cambric, whose s,kaks- Pcarean strawberries intimated that she was she. When she appeared the sensation was universal ; the gentleman with the buff vest threw open his coat to the extreme, the gentleman in the blue coat and bright but tons, buttoned it entirely to his chin ; the gentleman who was to lean backward fre quently, commenced tilting like a Chinese mandarin ; the gentleman with the pork and beans became more vociferous for more beans, while those who had duck, etc., were clamorous in complaining of the undue fulfilment of their orders. Never was there such a clamor heard in BEI that usually well regulated upstairs saloon— and by the bye, never did it subside more suddenly when a new brush of skirts was heard coming up the stairs. All the Lotbaries were once more in position, when 10, another Cordelia, in all respects the reflex of the first, appeared bearing the rim of strawberries as a challenge in her hand, and sweeping with it like a Juno, for a seat near, the localion of the first. It is needless to say that the sensation was now extreme. Some of the gentlemen who had their hair parted in the middle be- gan, however, to look less furiously at oth er gentlemen who had theirs parted in the same way, much as to say. "Well, there's one for each of us anyhow." But most of the party seemed more troubled than before. A pause of some minutes succeeded before any- new "ap- pearance" took place, during which time the lotharloa were engaged in displaying their points to the best advantage; and some pulled ont the various colored notes they had received, and either pretended to read them or laid them conspicuously on the table. "There's one of my fellows with the blue note!" said myth No. 1, over her spoon• ful of soup, to myth No. .7. "There's one of mine," said Cordelia the the second ; "he's got a pink note." "What do you think of Augustus, there, with the pork and beans before him, who is so pensively leaning his cheek Upon his hand ?" said myth the first. But before the answer could be given, apparitions three and four appeared, and hard upon their heels came five or six. There was now perfect consternation mt the lower side of the upetairs saloon of the faahionahie restaurant in Broadway. The nun on the tilt fell backward, and was silo under Ibe table ; there was a general feel ing alter hats, and a gathering up of loose handkerchiefs and canes All at once, after oue of those short, sud den panios,whieh conveyelectrlc knowledge to the human mind, a general stampede took place, and the whole party, with more or ieaa dignity—according to the natures and shapes they had assumed—made fbr the stairs and descended out of sight. It was several minutes before they could hand In their checks and pay the score, and during the time, the mieelbevious bevy with straw- banymarkadharulkerchiers took tulip syfor their trouble, in 4 hearty laugh wleeh they indulged in at the ludicrous tableau and ex- its they had just beheld, on the part of the gentlemen who were so sharp &nag the "snug little fortune," and whose molilTee were entirely waned to the object of get ting a "congenial partner with whom they could quietly settle down in life."

A. Datioirsous Rine.—A few days ago. as the 9.30 A. M. train was on the way to Baltimore, the conductor, Captain Lai inter noticed persons at different stations pointing under the car, but did not have an oppor tunity to make an examination until the train arrived at Annapolis Junction, after some nine stoppages had been made on the road. Here walking down Yee side of the train and looking closely under the cars, the conductor discovered a colored man lying on the truck, face downwards, with his feet resting against the brake bar, and hauled him out. After brushing his clothes, acid stating that he had stowed himself under the cars to get to Baltimore, the tree rider ran off.— Washington Star. MOSQUITO6.—The eggs of the mosquito are laid in a bowl-shaped mass upon the surface of stagnant . water by the mother fly. After hatching out they first become the "wiggle tails" or wriggling Worms, the t may be seen in the summer in any barrel of water that is exposed to the atmosphere for any length of time. Finally the "wiggle tails" come to the surface, and the full. fledged mosquitos burst out of them, at first with very short, limp wings, which In very short time grow both in length and stiffness. The sexes then couple, and the above pro cess is repeated again and again, probably several times in the course of the season.— his a curious fact that top male mosquito, which may be known by Its feathered ant enna), is physically Incapable of sucking blood. The mosquito Is not an unmitigated peat. Although In the winged state the female sucks our blood and disturbs our reskin the larva state the insect is decidedly beneficial by purifying stagnant water, that wou:d otherwise breed malarious diseases. Linmeus long ago showed that if you place two barrels full of stagnant water aide by side, neither of them containing any "wigglo•tails," or other living animals, and cover one of them over with gauze, leaving the other one uncovered so that it will soon become full of "wiggle-tails" . hatched out from the eggs deposited by the female mos quito, then the covered barrel will in a few weeks become very offensive, and the un covered barrel will emit no impure and un savory upon.
