Three little bugs in a basket,
And the beds but two would hold ;
So they all three fell to quarreling
Tbe white, the black, and gold ;
And two of the bugs went under the rugs,
And one was out in the cold. ,

So he that was left in the basket, - "
Without a crumb'to chew,
Or a thread to wrap himself withal, .
When the wind across him blew,
Pulled one of the rugs from one pf the bugs,
And so vbe quarrel grew !
... . , .
And so there was war in the basket,
A pity 'tis, 'tis true I
But that he was frozen and starved at last
A strength from his weakness drew,
And pulled tbe rugs from both the bugs,
.And killed and ate them, too 1 .
Now, when bugs live in a basket,
Though more than it well can hold,
It seems to me they had better agree
The -white, the black, and the gold
Auu share what comes of beds and crumbs,
And leave no bugs in tbe cold 1

'Father will have done the great chim
ney to-night, won't he, mother V said lit
tle Tommy Howard, as he stood waiting
for his fathcrTs breakfast, which, he car
ried to him at his work every morning.
"He said that he hoped all the scaf
folding would bo down to-night," answered
the mother, "and that will be a fine sight;
for I never like the ending of those great
chimneys, it is so risky for father to be
lait up."
:Oh ! then, but I'll go and seek him
and help 'em to pive a thout before he.
comes uown, sum xom.
k,And then," continued his mother, "if
all goes on right, we are to have a frolic
to-morrow, and go into the country, and
take our dinner, and spend all the day
long in the woods." ?
'Hurrah !" cried Tom, as he ran off to
his father's place of work, with a can of
milk in one hand and some bread in the
other. His mother stood at the door,
watching him ns he went merrily whistling
down the street, and she thought of the
dear father he was going to, and the dan
gerous work he was engaged in ; and then
her heart sought it3 sure refuge, and she
prayed to God to protect and bless her
treasures.
Tom with a light heart pursued his way
to his father, and leaving him his break
fast, went to his own work, which was at
some distance. In the eveninjr, on cis
way home, he went around to see how his
father was jrettinjr alonjr.
James Howard, the father, and a num
ber of other workmen, had been building
one of these lofty chimneys which, in our
manufacturing towns, almost supply the
place of our architectural beauty. The
chimney was of the highest and most ta
pering that had ever been erected, and as
Tom shaded his eyes from the slanting
rays of the setting sun, and looked up in
search of his lather, his heart sank with
in hiai at the appalling sight. The scaf
fold was almost down the men were re
moving the beams and poles. Tom's
father stood alone at the top.
He then looked around to see that every
thing was right, the men below answering j
him with a loud, lmid oher. 1U.1 Tmn
shouting as long as any of them.' -As their
voices died away, however, they heard a
different sound, a cry of horror and alarm
from above. The men looked around, and
coiled upon the ground lay the rope, which
before the scaffolding was removed, should
have been fastened to the chimney for
Tom's father to come down by. The scaf
folding had been removed without remem
bering to take the rope up. There Was
a dead silence. They all knew it was im
possible to throw the rope up high enough
I to reach the top of the chimney, or even
if possible, it would hardly be safe. They
sti m sifcnt dismay, unable to give any
help or think of any means of safety.
; And Tom's father ! He walked round
tho little circle, the dizzy. height eeem-
. , ' c r j u r i
'S a"d inore Jarful, and the solid
earth further and lurthcr lrom htm. In
ihe sudden panic, he lost his presence of j

Y His face was white as 'ashes and he
could hardly get the W6rds but.
"Mother! mother f he einnotgel down."
7 ' TVho, ladthy father. V she asked. : ;
I I'They have forgotten to leave the rope,"
answered Tom,; "still scarcely able to
speak. - . : . ' ; :
- The t mother started up, ' horror-struck;
and stood for a moment as if paralyzed
then pressing her hands overher'iface, as
if to shut out the terrible picture, and
breathing a pr. ayer. to God for help, rushed
out of the house. ...
4Whcn ste reached tho place where her
husband was at work, a crowd gathered
rnnml thp frtnt fif tlvft'oTiImnpv 'and'sfrwvl
ouito helplcssr, gaiitiip: With their Jaij
full of sorrow.?- x-.- ' " :.
"He says he'll throw himself down.1
, "Thee manna do- that, lad," cried the
wife, with a clear, hopeful voice ; "thee
uiunna do that wait a bit. Take off thee
stocking lad, and unravel it, and let down
the thread with a bit of mortar. Dost
thou hear me, Jem V"' V
1 " The man made a sign of assent for it
seemed a's if he could not speak and tak
ing off his stocking, unravelled the . worsted
yarn row after row. . The people stood
around in breathless silence and suspense,
wondering what Tom's mother could be
thinking of, and why she sent Tom in
such haste for the carnenter's ball of
twiue.
"Let down one end ofthe thread with
a bit of a stone, and keep fast .hold of the
other," cried she at her ' husband; The
little thread came waving down the tall
chimney, blown hither and thither by the
wind, bat it reached the outstretched
hands that were awaiting it. Tom -held
the ball of twine, while his mother tied
one-end of it to the thread." -
; "Now pull it slowly, cried she to her
husband, and she gradually unwound the
string until it reached her husband.
Now hold fast and pull;" cried she,
and the string . grewheavy and hard to
pull for Tom and his mother had fastened
a thick rope . to it. They, watched it
gradually and slowly uncoiling from the
ground
as the : striner was drawn higher.
There was one coil left it had reached
the top. "Thank Oodl exclaimed the
wife. She-hid her face ' in 'her hands in
silent prayer, and tremblingly rejoiced.-
The iron to which it was to be fastened
was there all rit-butjsvpuld Jber, hus-britT-beable
to nialcc use of it ? Would
not the terror of the past have so unnerv
ed him as to prevent him from taking the
necessary measure for safety ? She did
not know the magical influence her few
words had exercised over him. She did
not know the strength that tho sound of
her voice, so calm and steadfast, had filled
him as if the little thread had carried
him the hope of life once more, had con
veyed to him some portion of that faith in
God which nothing ever destroyed or
shook in her pure heart. She did not
know that, as she waited there, the words
came over him : "Why art thou cast down,
O my soul, why art thou disquieted with
in me ? hope thou in God?" She lifted
her heart to God for hope and strength
but could do nothing more for
band and her heart turned to
her h us
God and
rested upon Him as on a rock.
There w as a great shout.
"He's safe," mother ; he's safe V
cried
lom.
"Thou hast saved my life, my Mary,"
said the husband, folding ber in his arms.
"But what ails you ? thou scemest more
sorry than glad about it." But Mary
could not speak, and if the strong arm of
her husband had not held her up she
would have fallen to the ground the sud
den joy after such fear, had overcome her.
"Tom, let thy mother lean on thy
shoulder," said his father, "and we will
take her home." And in their happy
home they poured forth thanks to God for
His great goodness, andtheir happy life
together felt dearer and holier for the per
il it had been in, and in the nearness of
the danger that had brought them unto
God. And the holiday next dav was it
not indeed a thanksgiving day '

.. Barbara FrltcbJe's House.
The
Frederick, Maryland, Examiner
Tho last remnant of the old house
says
where Barbara . Fritchie lived and ' toiled
has been removed, and laborers are now
employed in digging soic ten feet below
the original foundation, as if to root out
the spot of earth upon which it stood. A
few days more and the tourist, the patriot,
and the poet will have pointed to them the
muddy waters of Carroll -Creek as where
once stood , the weird.home of the faithful
defender of her country's flag. It seems
to have been the determination of our city
authorities to ; erase .from, the memory of
man that the "Fritchie woman" ever lived,
and guided by this desire, the first step was
to destroy the house in which she had lived,
and where to Stonewall Jackson :
'tShoot if yon must, this old grey head, .
' But spare your country's flag, she said."
And to the accomplishment of this object
they turned all their genius and ability
with which nature has so liberally gifted
them. They first passed an ordinance to
widen and straighten Carroll Creek; they
then decided thatthe FritchjA b.Loo
in the IThe of the proposed improvement,
and agreed to "wipe the damned thing
out."
"Barbara Fritchie's work is o'er,
The rebel rides his raids no more."
Yet the spirit was predominant, and to
gratify the hatred of the house rendered
immortal by the pen of the poet, they have
in straightening the creek absolutely
made three sharp angles to strike the point
at which they aimed. Sagacious men !
Know they not that "the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed ot the Church r Ihe name
of Barbara Fritohie long shall live after
that of those "dresed in a little brief au
thority" shall have passed away forever.
The tuneful Nine have it in care, and poet
ry and song shall waft it down to future
ages, and men shall say that Whittier wrote
when Barbara lived.
A Good Joke. Many years ago,
when organs first came in use, a worthy
old genleman was pastor of a church
where they had just purchased an organ.
Not far from the church was a large town
pasture, where a great many cattle grazed,
and among them a large bull. One hot
Sabbath, Mr. Bull came up near the
church grazing ; and just as the Rev. Mr.
B was in the midst ot his sermon
boo woo woo went the bull.
The parson paused, looking up at the
singing seats, with a grave face, said :
"I would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during service ; it
annoys me very much.
The people stared, and the minister
went on.
"Boo woo woo," went the bull again, as
he drew a little, nearer the church. .
The parson paused again and addressed
the choir.
"I really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments while I am preach-ing-
The congregation tittered, for they
knew what the real cause of this disturb
ance was.
The old parson went on again, and he
had just about started good, when "Boo
woo woo" came from Mr. Bull.
" The minister paused once more and ex
claimed : -
'I have requested the musicians in the
gallery not to tune their instruments dur
ing the sermon. I now particularly re
quest Mr. L that he will not tune his
double bass organ while I am preaching."
"It isn't me, parson it it is that d-d
town bull," said Mr. L.

Getting ox in the World. Thero
are many different ways of gettingon in the
world; it does not always mean making a
great deal of money," or being a great man
for the people to look up to with wonder.
Leaving off a bad habit for a good one is get- ;
ting on the world ; to be careful and saving
"instead of thoughtless and wasteful is gct-
ting on ; to be active and industrious instead
of idle and lazy is gettingon ; to be kind
and and forbearing instead of ill-natured
and quarrelsome is gettingon; to work as
diligently in the master's absence as in his
presence is gettingon , in short, when wo
see any one properly attending to his duties;
persevering through such difficulties to gain
such knowledge as shall be of use to himself
and others ; offering a good example to his
relatives and acquaintances we may be sure
that is getting on in the world. Money is a
Useful article in thia way. hnt it in pnco!I;l
to get on with small means, for it is a mis
take to suppose that we must wait for a good
deal of money before we can do anything. .
Perseverance is often better than a full
purse. There are more helps toward get
ting on than is commonly supposed ; many
peopl e lag behind or miss the way altogeth
er, because they do not see the abundant .
and simple means which surround them at k
all sides, and so it happens that tVere are'
aids which cannot bo bought with money.
Those who wish to get on in the world" '
must have a stock of patience, of hopeful
confidence, a willingness to learn, and dis
position not easily cast down by difficulties
and disappointments.
Smallest Steam Engine. A writer"
in a London periodical thus describes a
most minute model of the engines' of the
iron-clad steamship, Warrior, made' by
Thomas Smith : "This tiniest working
model in the world is now in the possession
of John Penn, the eminet maker of the
great engines of which it is the infinitely
reduced counterpart. It will stand on a
silver threepenny piece; it really covers
less space, for its base-plate measures only
three-eights of an inch by about three
tenths. The engines are of the trunk
form introduced by Pe'nn ; the- cylinders
measure one-eighth of an inch diameter,
and the trunk one-twentieth. The length
of stroke is six-fortieths of an inch'. They
are fitted with reversing gear, and are
generally similar in design to the great
machines with which ships of the Warrior
class are equipped. From the extreme
smallncss of this model a few minuthfii
such, for instance, as the air pumps have
necessarily been omitted ; there is: a limit
beyond which human skill and minuteness
cannot pass. Still, so small are . some of
the parts that they require a powerful
magnifying glass to see their form.
