Little Boy Blue.
BT A. D. T. WHITNEY.
Of morals in n-wcU, we ve had not a few
! With, now and then, novel moralities;
And we've weekly exhorting from pulpit to pew;
But it strikes me—ami so it may chance to strike
you—
Scarce any are fetter than " Little Boy Blue."
For the veteran dame knows her business right
welt
And her quaint admonitions unerringly tell:
v 'ue strings a few odd careless words In a jingle
And the sharp latent truth fairly makes your
ears tingle.
"Azure robed youth,"' she cries "'up to tjiy post:
And watch lest thy w eaith be all scattered and
lost :
billy thoughts are astray, beyond call of the horn,
. And Fassi. >n breaks loose, and gets into the corn:
1 Is this the way Conscience looks after her sheep?
' In the world's soothing shadow, guue soundly
r asleep?"'

The Two Servants,
OR. RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND.
•Good-morning,' said Chrystal to
HuUble. as. each attended by his two
servants, they met on the bank of the
1 river. 'How have you enjoyed your
. self lately? Does everything go
' well ?'
'Capitally!' replied Bubble. 4 1
spend mv days in a perfect round of
* *
pleasure. Isn't it a great thing to
have such a powerful friend as Mam
mon? He gave me a pot of gold
-only y.-sterday. and even Aiule yel
i w coin means a new delight. Have
you seen him lately? I hear that he
is equally generous with you.'
"It is true," said Chrystal; 'he has
given me a pint of diamonds this
very morning; and I suppo>e I can
buy ant thing in the world. There
'- nothing that I need deny myself. 1
> And yet I do not feel quite easy.'
Chry-tal hesitated, *it - en - some-;
' times as if we" ought to be tliThTinc
. ..Lout— as if we ought to W -doing
!-ometHing alxmt —'
'Tliose buil ing-bloeks.' interrupt
ed Bubble, shrugging his -h luMers.
•That is just what Kight-hand luts
; Ik en harping a>out r!1 the juoining.
Do )ou know the fell. w had the,
[impudence to t,-ii nie." i>;tLU- low-;
ered his voice, 'that it was wrong to 1
lar thinking so nucU of my own
! pleasure; that it wa> 110 matter
whether 1 was happy or not; that
tuy only business here — for the little t
time I Et.-.jd — wa- to get to
I get her building material for a house ,
i n tiie Golden City.'
'Did he say how you were to do
it i? .' trokt.l Ci.rystaL
j 'Yes. He said that every time we
iid a good deed, there would l*e a
: bnilding-block laid at our door. This
( w ould be carried by sjiecial messeii
| gers to our great Friend in the Gol
den City, who woulc build it — in
case there was no flaw in the stone — 1
into a house that would Fie ready tor
us when we came.'
'Exactly what my Right-hand!
*aid to me,' said Chrystal, thought- {
fi.lly. •It inu-t be true; and I Lav. 1
never yet found one building-block]
at my door.' He looked yearningly
away to the east, where could be
dimly seen the golden spires of the;
lovely city, with towers from which j
floated banners of crimson and blue.
'I ton sure I wish it wasn't true,',
fretted Hubble. 'I don't want to go I
to any better land than this. 1 should j
like to stay here always.' j 1
Chrystal sighed. 'Yon don't like ;
your servants very much, then?' said j
he,- by way of changing the subject, j
'Oh, Left-hand is a very clever fel
low,' said Bubble. 'There have been : ,
ome bad stories about him ; as, for :
instance, that hi 'wak born down in
.Shadow Land, just beyond the Black
Forest.' j-
Here Chrystal and Bubble both : (
looked down the river Yn<l shivered j
a little; it was so dark, and gloomy ',
in that direction, and the clouds took .
such threatening shapes.
'But. hush!' said Bubble, 'don't ,
let the poor fellow hear; be is very
sensitive about it; nothing hurts his ;
feelings so mut4 And be is such a .
0 - i
delightful fellow, after all, with the.]
sweetest voice in the world; I love'
to listen to him. Now, Right-hand, j
the prig, is so tiresome- It is always,
you ought, and you ought, and you 1
ought. One never can have any j
peace.' J 1
'But they say he was born in the t
Golden City, and was sent to us bv
the Friend,' said Chrystal. 'lf that 1
i~ ' ru>. *-v rytbing ssy* mu-t be {
M(* r.-.m
l right. And have you never bean
tliat there is a great enemy in th
i Shadow Land, who probably senl
; Left-hand?"
'Stuff and nonsense!' cried Bubble
. impatiently. *L)o you know I havt
' i iny doubts whether there is any suel
■ land at all. See, it is all cloud and
; I mist,' he looked down the rivei
again. 'You can make nothing out
clearly.'
"But they say,' persisted Chrystal.
'that by and by. when we nre called
to get into the boat>. and go awav
from this shore, onr future home will
| quite depend upon which of our two
servant- is the stronger. If Right
hand is strong and hearty, he will
take the oar, and row us. swiftly
1 away through the door of the sun,
into the Golden City. Rut if we
have indulged Left-hat u .too much,
laud he is overgrown, he will seize
the boat's head and turn it down,
down to the mist and darkness that
he loves.'
•My dear Chrystal, what gloomv
i nonsense! I should lteeome quite
nervous if I listened to t on. Come,
' let us take a look at my new span of
horses.'
'Excuse me,' said Chrystal, 'but I
believe thi- I- the day for a special
message from our Friend. I heard
there was a bulletin, and I was ,r oiiu r
cr o
to see if it might not be something to
help me, to tell me the best use for my
diamonds.'
•I w iil go with you,' said Bubble,
; reluctantly.
Am 1 w hen they reached the office,
there was the message k large, plain
characters. Chrystal read it:
'■Make to yourselves friends of the
Mammon of unrighteousness ; thrt
' w hen ye fail, they may receive vou
into everlasting kibit.ition.-v
•And what can that mean V said
' Bubble.
Right-hand tried to answer, but
Left-hand had the louder voice.
"It means, sir, that you must give
[.n-sciits, and great dinner-parties to
;all the rit-L people you know, and
then they v ill admire and honor v-.ui,
jaikl ydu will always be suie i f plen
ty of friends, who will welcome you
' it to their beantiful Louses."
*'l hat seems reasonable." said Bub
♦ 14e, 'sod a very pleasant tiunir to do.
I will trke your advice, my good
1 Left-hand.'
'What doe- th:d mean?' said Chrvs
tal, also, to 1 p two servnnls. T1 ey
both began at once,
I 'I will hear Right-hand, first,' said
Chrystal.
'lt means, Master Chrystal, thai
you must not sjx nd all these gifts of
Mammon on yourself—on things
that are onlv of u>e on this side of
i
'be river; but you must feed the
hungry and clothe the naked, and so
you w ill make a great many friends.
some of whom, going over 1* fore i
you, will help carry yonr building
blocks. They w ill also be w ailii gat
the states to welcome vou when you '
-
come, and to show you joyfully the ,
beautiful house which has been built •
for you.'
•That is very sweet,' said Chrystal.
his lace all aglow.
'Master, hear nu\ tagan Left-hand,
who had turned very pale.
•No. lam satisfied.' said Chrystal.
•Right-hand, I shall take your ad
vice.'
Just one year later, Chrystal and
Bubble again met on the bank of the
river. Bubble, elegantly dressed,
came dashing along in a grand carri
age, his two servants sitting behind
him.
Chrystal was on foot, ann-in-arm
with Right-hand, with whom he was j
earnestly talking. Left-hand walked
just behind, listening with all his
might, but looking tired and discour
aged.
'How now, my good Chry stal!'j
cried Bubble: 'what has gone wrong?
Yen are the image of despair. Ah,
I thought you would get tired doiug
so much for people who caa never
make you any return.' . - '
'Not at all,' said ChryslaL 'But t
I have heard some very bad ne*i' j
'Why 1 have heard nothing but
your praises lately. Un every side
people are saying, 'All honor to the
noble Chrystal! the generous, the
unselfish—'
•Ob.stop!" cried ChrystaL 'Left
band has told me every ord of that
1--rg ag,►. pn.j I Invp Jove.] i too
d well. Ah, my poor, ruined blocks!'
e 'What, the building-blocks? Are
it you really at work on them ? laughed
Bubble. A\ ell, what has gone
?, wrong?'
e 'I found out only yesterday,' said
h ( hry stal, sadly, 'that as soon as my
d stones were brought into the clear
r air ot the Golden City, they
t to crumble and fall to pieces. There
was some dreadful flaw. And what
1. that was, 1 have just found out bv
d the message on the bulletin-board
\ this morning.
>1 'Can you remember it?' asked
0 Bubble.
-j ystal nodded, and re eat d
1 slowly, 'lake heed that ve do not
v your alms before meu. to be seen of
i, them: ot hei wise—'
e 'Yes, yes,' interrupted Bubble, j
, '1 see. Otherwise the stones are
e good for nothing the other side of
, the river. i es. I suppose that doinsr
t | goo for the -ake of the prai-e of men 1
does injure the stones a little. But
why not be philosophical: they need
[> not be entirely lot; they still make
. a very fair show on this side, i have
f been giving a gieat dial myself, late-'
lv. as my good Left-hand say- i'
I looks respectable. and pays oil the
1 whole; and I have built two or three
1 monuments which please me very
r much. Some time, when lam oider.
j I w ill try to make a better cia.-- of
, stone, which w ill do to send over. In
the meanwhile, I think I am much
, the happier of us two.'
•But your Right-hand looks ruiser
, ably thin,' said Chrystal. 'I should
i be afraid—'
'lie i- stout ami hearty compared
- to your Left-hand ' retorted Bilk le. '
'1 do not Ik lieve you feed him prop
i erly.'
'Better than he deserves,' -aid
i , ('iirvstal. 'I am intending to pu*
.him on a much stricter diet.'
I 'We w ill yec about taut,' said laTi
haud. with a bitter .-mile. 'I
have nsy } 1 ns. We shall see i
liight-haud is always going to le

Another year i :ts-ed, and Chrv s; il.
- walking on the bank of the river,
i saw Bub.ble dash by. without recog
nizing him. It ws not much w<>u
• der for he wa> dressed v ery shabbily,
laving denied himself everything
that he might support two or three
families ruined by a lire. Ami this
lie had done so very quietly that no
body had the least -uspiei n of j?.
. Bubble, on the contrary, w as heading
along train of carriages in v.hich were '
i all the principal people of the citv.
: and he w. s going-to superintend the
'jopening of the Bubble Orphan Asv
lum.
'Yes. that is the great Bubl b .' the
i people said on every side. 'He gives
! . .
j away like a prince. - Ah,h> is laying
jup treasure in the Golden City.' Tlieu
ithey would lower their voice®. 'Such :
; a pity about Chrystal. lie no longer
clothe"? himself decently: and for ail '
. that he hasn't a penny for the poor. :
, What is so pitiful as a miser?'
And Chrystal'® heart swelled wi-h.
I pride and pleasure.
'llow few re willing to be so m -- :
understood,' whispered sly Left hand.
'llow little they know.'.
• x Yes,'said Chrystal, coniplaccii.lv. "i
'there certainly ha- been some im
provement since last year. 1 give i
away thousands, and not a soul sus- <
pects it. Nothing that Right-hand '
| has done lately, una been sceu of men.
I have taken the greatest pains.'
'And he has dune so much, too! 1
it is wonderful! Master, let u.- tell *
over some of the good deeds, and
count them.' t
j So Chrystal most willingly began. (
; aipl every other word the cunning t
Left-hand would break in with 11
'Grand!' 'Noble!' * Magnanimous!' • (
'What self-sacrifice!' -There can lie v
no doubt about the building stones ' 1
j now!'• c
Chrystal -at down inthesuntorest.' ;■
.'I have not felt so happy in years.' I
!he remarked t-o Left-hand, after a i
pause. c
But Left-hand, feeling very ea-v ! j
antl confident. was taking a little nap, -
an indulgence he seldom allowed c
*
himself. Clirj-stal turned to look for s
his other servant, and was shocked
I
at the change in his face, since lie i<
i had ia.-t paiticuiarly noticed him. t
'My poor Right-hand.' be cried, t
you are ill. What can Ido for you? Y
T ;11I v..v. die."
•Mastc ChrvstaL'said Right-hand,
feebly, 'I am dying of love and grief.
I love you so much, and I grieve to
see you so deceived. Master. I must
tell the truth; not one of those stones
you have thought so perfect, has been
fit to be u-ed in the Golden City.'
Chrystal stood aghast. 'How can
that be ?' Lc ask* .. in a hollow tone.
•I have b nsc ca-eful to keep t tin
from flaws. Who has pried into niv
secrets ?'
•You have told everything to Left
hand,* said Right-band, sadly.
'And wa *that wrong?* asked pool
Chrystal.
But Right-hand only said. 'There
is something on the bulletin boar i.
master. If you take this g!as< you
can read it from w nere vou sit.'
Chrystal rai-<-d his heavy eyes.and
read: 'But when thou doest alms,
let not Left-hand know what Kiib .t
--hand doeth.'
'Yon k-c. ma-tei.' -aid Right-hand,
gently, 'lirst you did good work- for
the sake of the praise of other-: nnd
then for the praise of Left-hand ; and
this last mined the stone-more sure
ly than the first.'
'Vv u, • i- left-hand's name in the
land win re he was lioru ?' said < hry—
tal, faintly.
'Ask him.'said Right-hand.
The next <lav two deeds were done
that ontv anllv 1 ioK(hl just alike, but
in fact as different as light and dark
ne-s. ThedTviSwldud -tunny,
and iti-t as night was setiing in, w ith
a bitter wind, two old men, tattered,
frozen and starving, came down the
strvei. and cue fell upon Bubble's
door-step and one up n Chtystal's—
for the houses were side bv side.

aost radiant colors. Left-hand also
auif, but he dragged himself along
sinfully, and while he w :s fetblv

Then came Bubble, looking anx

•Where is Right-hatid ? * asked
Chrystal.
•Oh, he's a troublesome fellow,'
fretted Bubble. 'He fell in H swoon
just as we were leaving the hoti-x.
I am glad it wasn't Left-hand, who
has always Ijeon so faithful and foud
of me.'
'But, Bubble! my dearest Bubble,
where are you going!" cried Chrys
tal in the greatest alarm, as he saw
that Left-hand was turning the boat
down the stream.
•I am sure I don't know.' -- id Bub

didn't have to go at all. It is so hard,
Chrystal. I was just goine to 1-egin
