SKATING
When winter come and freezes o'er
Our crystal lake from shore to shore,
Wo vote the inglo-Side a bore,
And all go out a skating ;
And then we have such jolly fun,
And such fantastic tricks are done
Upon the ice, that every ono
Thinks nothing like it'neath the sun
.. Racing in the frosty air, -
Cutting circles here and there,
Banished tlibuiht of care
When we go out a skating.
And when the biting, northern wind
Its way to muffled ears will find,
We don't a continental mind,
But all go out a skating ;
And, rnayhaP, if the ice be all
Aglare, and bumps of caution &mall,
A gent may cut an awkward sprawl
Or lady hurt her waterfall. .
Not a word of plaint they make,
Caring not for thump or ache,
All is borne for pleasure's sake
When we go out a skating.
And if, perchance, the ice is thin,
Some reckless chap will tumble in,
And there arises quite a din
When we go out a skating ;
The ladies scream or faintwith fright,
And comrades work'with all their might
To save their chuin from drowningluite,
While urchins laugh to see his plight.
Frosty whiskers, icv nose, •
Chattering teeth and frozen tou,
All for pleasure=so it goes
. When we go out a skating.
MY LOTTERY TICKETS,
What They Coat and 'What They Amoun-
ted To.
It was Saturday night, and the little
woman who bears my name and mends
my stockings, was sitting in her low
chair by the fire, zealously putting a
patch upon the knee, of little Tom's
trowsers, turning the piece of cloth
this way and that, and holding her
neaolou • oßoaido to cyrthrh tho . offo?t„
But the stripes wofild — all wrong
way, while the colors Were provoking
ly bright, compared with the faded
garment.
"Never. mind that, Mary," said I,
"Lore's a chance to throw away your
patches. , Hurrah for a lovely country
seat on the Hudson, fifty shares of
bank stock, a house in town, or any
thing also you wish, and all for a dol
lar 1"
"Now,
Thomas,".said nhe,,and when
she. wishes to be rarticularly severe
she alWays calls me Thomas, "what
are you talking about ?"
"A gift enterprise, Mollie; tickets
Only a dollar, and sure to diaw a
prize." read the heading and dis
played the long list of prizes. "What
do you think of that ?" shouted I, tri
umphantly.
"I think," she said, laughing, "that
if you make so much noise you will
wake the baby." Thon seeing that I
looked annoyed, she added: "But I
do not think that lotteries are just
right, especially for church members.
Do yon ?"
"0, nonsense ! I never saw a church
fair in my life that did not have grab
boxes and lotteries, I shouldn't dare
to say how many dollar's I have spent
on them, and never drew anything
either."
She looked roguishly at me. "Don't
you think, then, you aro most too old
to begin ?"•
"It may as well bo I, as any ono,
and it is no. groat matter—only a dol
lar."
"I know, Tom," and the wise little
woman looked grave, "but we haven't
many dollars, to throw away ?' and sho
held up the baby's . socks with a good
sized bole in each heel. "And little
Tom's school, bill comes in next week."
I laid down my paper and triedlo
speak very convincingly. "Now, Mol
lie, it is all very well for a man to,jog
on day after day, earning and spend
ing just so much, but ho likes to make
a venture once in a while, just for the
excitement of 'the thing, if nothing
more."
"Yes; but, Tom, don't you remember
the share in the oil well ?"
"Y
-a-s,"' said I, slowly, for it was
rather an unpleasant topic of conversa
tian to mo. I had invested the little
sum loft me by a maiden aunt in, an
oil company, against Mary'S good judg :
ment. Capital a, million ,of dollars
more or less; oil wells flowing day and
night on the land of the next company,
just over the fence, I was very much
elated, and' promised Mary, among
other things, a new black silk dress we
bad seen displayed in some - show win
dow. Well, they bored and bored,
throwing 'up, a great deal of dirt, and
a groat deal of water, bat not a drop
of oil; and just as they were. about to
begin in a now spot, the treasurer, or
some one else, ran away with the funds,
and that ended the whole affair. Mary,
like a good little 'woman, never re
proached me, but when I came home
one day and found her turning her old
merino inside out and upside-down, I
felt—well, I can't tell just how; but I
thought of that black silk dress.
"Xnd oh I" she continued, "don't
you remember the patent for the flour
sifter ?" and she laughed outright. So
did I, when I thought of the spectacle
I presented when I , chanced to turn
the crank the wrong way, and the
flour flew in every direction.
But I had made up my mind to buy
ono of those tickets; so, tho Ugh Mary
sighed, she said no more. I invested,
on my way down town, Monday morn
ing, and thought while I was about it
I might as well buy one for Mary, and
one for little Tom, too. I showed them
to her when I wont home to dinner at
noon.
"Not throe! 0, Tom, how 'could
you ?" and she looked really grieved ;
while I, thinking it a pity if I must
account for every penny I spent, as-
-:•::.•::".''' ',.. '.., I-: , !

•
sumed the dignified air which the oc
casion seemed to demand, and the
meal passed in silence. I went home
at night to find her sewing as usual.
My conscience gave an uncomfortable
twinge as she looked up pleosantly,
and then turned to the great basket of
work. If she only had a sewing ma
chine! Perhaps I should draw one;
and I grew quite happy over the
thbught, imagining her surprise when
I sent- it home nnexpeetedly. - She
would not think me unwise then in
'having bought the tickets. •
Little Tom interrupted my. reverie
with—"O, father ! Okl Susan, who
.used to work for us,:has ..been here to
day. She has burned her hand So 441.1 e
can't do anything. Mrs. Briggs gave
her a dollar. Mother said she couldn't
give her any money, but she put some
salvo on-her hand andg ave Ler some
thing to eat." I did not look at Mary,
but contrived to turn Tom's thoughts
into another channel.
Nor was I any more comfortable, on
passing through the hall the next day,
to-overhear her conversation with a
friend. "No," she was sayingi "I shall
not subscribe to the
,reading - club this
winter, I can't very well spare the two
dollars."
Well, the days went by without our
saying anything more about it.. I grew
a little nervous as the time for draw
ing the prizes drew, near, and opened
my morning paper with same trepida
tion. At length my eyes were greet
ed with a long,. list of the fortunate
numbers which had drawn the largest
prizes. I road them all over carefully
from first to last, and then, more care
fully still, from last to first; but in vain
—my numbers were not there.
In a day or two another list appear.
ed, which I read with the same result.
At last, among those which drew a
prize worth less than one dollar, I
found my own.
"Tom," said a friend whose office
was next to mine, "don't you think
Jones was fool enough, to buy a ticket
in that gift enterprise I" _
ho
went on. "What do you think ho drew?
A dauby print of Washington and a
pair of eighteen carat brass buttons.
Ho consoles himself with the adage,
'Live and learn,' but 1 think 'A fool
and his money,'etc. more appropriate."
I made some reply and left him. I
thought 'I would not carry home the
newspaper that night; I was ashamed
to .havo Mary sco it. But as we sat
before the fire after tea :
"Why, Toni!" said. she, "Where's
your paper ?" I had intended to say
that 1 forgot it. But I defy any ono
to - look into Mary's clear brown eyes
and tell a lie. So I just told her the
whole truth.
I' believe if she had scolded, or said :
told you so," I should have put on
my hat and left the house; but her only
remark was, "Never mind, Tom,
we'll know better another time."
Do you wonder that I think her a
wonderful little woman ? I made a
groat resolve that night, and I have
not bought a lunch down town nor
smoked'a cigar for a month. Even my
pipe and paper of kilikiniek are laid
away, on a high shelf, out of the Way
of temptation. And when Mary asks
what,has become of my pipe, I lookso
ber and reply that I think smoking
disagrees with me; but I laugh to'my
seLf as I think of the sewing machine
that will stand in the corner by the
window before many months, and the
rest that will come to those busy fin
gers. I even stepped into Brown &
Smith's to inquire the price of their
best black silks; but that I dare not
think of at present.
It has boon, after all, a good lesson;
but I think it will be my last, as it was
my first experience in lottery tickets.
A LADY'S OPINION OF A LADY'S IVIAN
—Mrs. Stephens, in her excellent
monthly magazine, gives a certain class
of men, the like of whom are soon in
every community, the benefit of her
opinion, as follows : •
Our• own private opinion of the la
dy's man is, that he is thoroughly con-•
temptible ; a sort of the life, hardly
worth thinking about; a nutshell with
the kernel withered up; a handful of
foam drifting over the wine of life,
something not' altogether unpleasant
to the fancy, but of no earthly use ! A
woman of sense would as'soon put to
sea in a man of war made of shingles,
or to take up' her,residence in a card
house, and dream of attaching herself
to a lady killer.
Women worth the name are seldom
deceived into thinking our lady's man
the choicest specimen of his sex.' What
ever the ignorance may be, womanly
institution must tell them that the
men who livo•for a groat object, and
whose spirits a:re so firmly knit that
they are able to encounter the storms
of life—men whose depth and warmth
of fooling resemble the powerful - cur
rent of a mighty. river, and not- the
pebbles on its' surface, who, if they
love, are never smitten by mere beau
ty of form of features—that these mon
aro more worth oven of oceupying
their thoughts in the idle moments,
than the fops and mon about- town
with whose attention they amuse
themselves. If we wore to toll him
this, he•would only laugh; he has no
pride about him, although full of vani
ty, and it matters not to him what you
broadly of or quietly insinuate.
Soft and delicate though he be, he is
as impervious to ridicule as abed car
rier, and as rogardleAs of honest con
tempt as a city alderman. Were you
to hand him this article, ho would
take it to some social party and read
it aloud in the most mellifluous voice
as an homage to his own attractions.
IT won't do for a man to bump his
head against an iron post, even with
a brick in his hat unless he conscien
tiously believes that his head is the
hardest.

Leaving the Door Open.
In behalf of a class of outraged and
helpless sufferers, we publish the . fol
lowing, by a correspondent of the Sci
entific American. If these hints should
.work a general reform, the, writer will
have rendered a greater service to the
world than if he had discovered per
petual motion. lie says
"During the last ten years, in the
winter season, according to our daily
record, we have noticed the manner
in which one thousand persons called
for:work have' opened, shut, or not
shut, our, store door; this, you. may
say,. is a futile and useless undertak
ing; but we entertain.a-very different
opinion. What are the facts, anckyvhat
the deduction ?
First, of 1000 persons recorded, 835
oponed the door and shut it . carefully
when they came in and when they
went out, without much noise.
-sucondly, 226 Opened it in a hurry,
and made an attempt to shut it,but did
not, and nearly pulled it to when they
went out.
Thirdly, 307 did not attempt to shut
it at all, neither on coming in or going
out.
Fourthly, 96 left it open when they
come in, but :when reminded of the
fact, made ample apology, and 'shut it
when they went out
Fifthly, 102 opened it in a great hur
ry, and then slammed it violently, but
left it open when they, went out.
Sixthly, 20 came in with "How do
you do, sir ?" or "Good morning," or
"Good evening, sir," - and all, these
went through the operation of wiping
their feet upon,the mat, but did ,not
shut the door when they came in nor
when they went out. .
Remarks—We have employed men
out of all the above classes, and during
that time have had an opportunity of
judging their merit, &o.
The first class,
of 835, were those
who know their trade, and commenced
and finished their work in a methodi
cal manner, were quiet, had but little
to say in their working hours, and
were well approved of by ilmso for
whom they did the work. They were
punctual to time, and left nothing
undone which they had been or
dered to do. They did not. complain
about trifles, and in all respects they
were reliable men, and wore kind =and
obliging in'their general conduct:
SUNDAY NIGHT AMUSEMENT.—Going
to see the girls Sunday is a custom
time-honored and generally observed
oven in this country, which generally
flings its heels at old customs. The
other Sunday evening, in Peoria, 111.,
two youths on courting bent, called at
the residence of a young lady, found
her at home, and seated themselves
to do the agreeable. Pretty soon there
came a ring at the door bell, and two
other youths were admitted. Now, the
etiquette is always, in such 'eases, for
the last comer to smile; bow politely,
and bid the fair charmer adieu, and go
and hunt up some other girl. But our
young men thought differently.
.Eti
quette or not, they were to stay till
those other fellows left. Each sat down,
flanking the grate, and glared unutter
able things at the other. • Wbile they
were in this blissful state of uncertain
ty, two other fellows called to spend'
the evening, and divining the facts of
the case, they determined' to stay and
see-the fun - out. Another young man
called to see the lady to church; where
upon the last two wickedly prevailed
upon him to stay with them. While
the old gentleman came down stairs
the next morning, seven-hats adorned
the rack, seven sleepy youths sat
around the fire, and seven dull pairs of
black eyes were vainly endeavoring
to look "sweetly" at' a languid pair of
blue ones. The old gentleman =went
into the parlor and held a "lovefeast,"
the result of which was, that none of
the "gallants" stayed for breakfast.
MAGNITUDE OF LONDON.—Tho', boas.
es number more than 350,000, and . its
streetsif placed in lino would extend
from Liverpool to New York, and are
lighted at night by 660,000 gaslamps,
consuming every twenty lour hours
13,000,000 oubie feet' of gas. Of the
water supply, 44,383,328 gallons are
used, per day. Tho traveling public
sustain 5000 cabs rind 1500 omnibus,
besides all the other sorts of vehicles
which human need can require or :
hu
man wit. invent. Its hungry. popula
tion devour in the course of every
year, 1,609,000 , quarters of meat,
249,000 bullocks, 1,700,000 sheep; 28,•
000 calves; 35,000 pigs, 10,000,000 head
of game, 3,000,000 salmon and innum.
erable'fish of other sorts, ; and consume
43,209,000 gallons of beer '
. 200,000
gallons of' spirits, and 65,000 pipes of
wino. As a consequence, 2400 doctors
find employment.' London, finally,
supports 852 churches, which are -pro
sided over by 930 divires of greater or
loss note.
CLERICAL TABLE TALK.-. 11, is often
very amusing to see what 'mistakes a
clergyman will make in giving out no
tices, or in extemporaneous speaking.
Thus a distinguished bishop within the
border of Now England, on the -oeca
sion of a great marriage, -wberi his
church _was crowded and _noisy,: the
mass being impatient, and the greater
portion standing upon the seats and
backs of, the pews , in his desperition
exclaimed : "Will the people, reiriern-
boring that this is God's house, bo plea-.
sod to sit down on the floor, and put
their foet upon the seats ?" The uproar
that followed these words was perfect
ly fearful, and the unconscious'bishop
'tell back into his.chair, feeling that he
had been- grossly insulted , in his own
cathedral.
