The fact is, there never was a little boy who was sorrier than he was when the clock struck eight, and he was told it was bedtime. "It's only eight o'clock just as we're having the most fnnl" he would say, and beg for just a few momenta more of play with Bob or sister Emily, who were much oMer than he and were al lowed to sit np longer, Hut all the begging and coaxing were of no avail; the big old clock on the stairs had cer tainly struck eight loud enough for all to hear, and to bed he must certainly go. "I tell yon what, old fellow," said he to the clock, one evening as he was on his way up stairs, "you're the greatest bother in the house! Ton make more noh-e when it's eight o'clock than we children do at bliuJ-man's-bluff down-stairs, and I think if yon can't be quieter, you'd better jnst leave and go somewhere else! JJn you hear?" But the old clock ticked on as londly as ever, aud Johnny thought he saw a sort of smile on its big round faoe. Be sat down on the stairs oppo site to have a good look. Yes, there certaiuly was a smile, and, what was Btranger still, the loud ticking as he listened sounded like words, and grad ually he could hear whole sentences in rhyme, something like this: "Strange yon never hear me striking, telling yon it's growing late! llou't you know you're very sleepy, and I've t.jld you it is eight?" "Ddar me, how very strange!" said little Johnny. "You're the fun niest old clock I ever did see. I didn't know you could talk." Then the clock replied: "Ah! yon never stop to liten, though I call you every day, in the morning for yonr lessons, in the eveniug from your pluy. All day long I stand here calling, "if yon children would but heed. (Some times when tbey do not listen it is very bad indeed!" "Why?" aeked little Johnny. The clock went on: "Once I heard a dread ful story of boy so foud of play, he would never hear ns calling, never wanted to obey." "'iell me all abont him," said little Vihnny, deeply interested. "Far way from here it happened in the land where I was born. All the we. k he played and shouted, gathered poppies in the corn, climbed the trees for nuts and apples, helped the farmer toss the hay, chased the butterflies and rabbits all the golden summer day. Bnt when rang the village school-bells, calling, calling far and wide, and the bright-faced village children laid their toys and games aside, he was crying, pouting, scoldin?, 'So, he wouldn't, shouldn't go,' till at lust his gentle mother, grieved and weary, loft him SO." What a very naughty boy!" said little Johnny. ".Loud the kitchen clock was calling, Hurry, hurry, do not stay! tStl 1 1 there's time for yon to catch them; run and join them while yon may! My, how lond that clock was ticking! But he didn't stop to hear, singing, dancing through the meadows without thought of care or fear. Now the bells had nil done tolling, they had closed the echool h ou He door, still lie seemed to hear that ticking even louder thnu before. Then ha looked behind oh, horror! and his very heart stood still, for the kitchen clock was following, jumping, bnmping down the hill!" "Oh, how dreadful!" said littlo Johnny. "ttwt he flew across the meadow, climbed the fence and lenped the brook; but he knew the clock was following, though he dared not stop to look. Louder, louder came the ticking; faBter flew the frightened child stumbling, falling through the hedges, over thorns and brambles wild!" "I'd like to have seen 'em!" said Johnny. "When at last, all worn and tired, the poor child could run no more, then he saw that he was standing just beside the school-house door. Ah, how glad he was to enter and to study with the rest, for the ticking could noi follow if he only did his best !" "I'm glad he got rid of the horrid old thingl" said little Johnny. 'Ah, but he had learned a lesson ! When the bells raug loud and clear, who of all the village children was so quick as he to hear? And, whatever he was doing, at his work or at his filay, when the clork struck he wonld isten, glad and ready to obey. Now, my boy, if yon don't listen when I tell you it is eight, I'll come ticking, whir ring, jumping" "Vhy, my dear little boy, here yon are asleep ou the stairs and the clock striking nine!" Little Johnny sat np and rubbed his eyes, and looked very hard at his mama and then at the clock; bnt the steady old timepiece was looking as it always did aud ticking as soberly as ever. " J m Oeoorattve Tfcon'te. Don't furnish a north room In bliu it any cold color. Yellow or golden brown hangings will produce the ef fect of perpetual sunshine. Don't nia.se a narrow door narrower Or a heavy portiere. A small houe Is made stuffy by too many hangings. Don't putchandlicrs in a room with low ceiling. Side brackets are fashionable and are to be had in ar. tistic shapes. Don't have too much of one kind ol decoration in the house. (JrMlework nd stained glass repeated in more than two rooms become monotonous. Don't buy a bright-colored carpet to put into rooms where the furni ture is not to be correspondingly toned up. Don't have the floor, wall and fur niture Id a room covered with ma terial which has a decided pattern. Don't put into a room unsteady little tables loaded wit'a meaningless bric-a-brac. The way to obtain recognition is to go ahead; to quietly, perst-teotly make ono's self worth v of it. If it comes. veil and good; if it does not come, it is something to prove one's self worthy of it. It is hard to be a friend to a man rho is an enemy to himself. THAXKFULXKS3 WITH AN "IF. This is not an uncommon sort of thankfulness. Many people are thankful with ai. "if." At least, their words of thankfalneKS has an "if," or a "when," added. "How thankful 1 should be, if the, next mail brought better news of my son abroad!" says one. "I should be thankful. Bays another, if the cloud were lifted, and could see my way out of this diffi culty." "I shall be so thankful, when I feel better, and can get about again," Bays a third. Are Mich "ifs" and "wbeus" wrong? they cannot be wrong, because Uod for the happy change he desires; and. should it come, will doubtlexa il.unV Him f..r it Tl iiti.mii mntiir prays that the mail may bring a better account, and will praise God when it comes. I he person nntler cloud prays in that darkness and perplexity, aud will be truly thankful when light ap pears. The sick man prays on his bed, ami win riso irom it, anu gu hooul, with a thankful heart. As far as it goes, this is quite right, this looking to God, praying to God, and meaning to thauk God. lint this does not go far enongh? Oucht not the thankfulness to begin earlier? should we not be thankful without its and whens? Should we not all be thankful now? Yes. surelv. Srich words seem to imply t though it is by no means always the case) that yon are not thankful yet, but that von will be some day; or that yon would le. if snch aud such a thing were to happen, bnt not otnerwise. This cannot be right, for we are di rected thus: "in every thing give thanks." Therefore begin now. if you are to give thauks in everything, give thanks dow, nnder your present circum stances. Mix praise with prayer, after the pattern set bv St. Paul: "In evervthinc, by prayer and supplica tion, wilh thanksgiving let yonr re qncbts be made known nuto God!" Do not put off being thankful (ill some thing or other happen; wait 'or nothing. Is there nothing to be thankful for to-day? The mail is not in yet, and yon know not what news it may bring; but, at leat, yon have heard no bad news. 'emember, your son is in God a hands, however far he may be from you. When you irav for him, you pnt him afresh nnder his loving care. Leave him there, with a trustful and peaceful and thankful heart. "He shall not be afraid of evil tilings: his heart is fixed; trusting in the Lord." I here is a clou J over yon, and yon cannot see yonr way at present. But, even under the cloud, there is much to give thanks for. To the children -of Israel a cloud was even ma lo the token of God's presence God is above yonr cloud; nay, iu it. r'or it could not be ere without his will. A cloudy time may be a time of grest blessing. lias not God helped yon hitherto? Has He not bronght yon forth from nnder other clouds? Is He not near yon now? Have yon not His word and His prom ises? Thank Him for all this, thank Him to-dav, thank Him before the clonds lifts and the wav is cleared. Yon will thauk Him all the better when light appears, if you have thanked Him in the darkness. And, besides, how can von pray in faith, if yon have no thankfulness of heart? As for a time of illness and weak ness, while that is a time for prayer, it is certainly a special time for praise too. What comfort God gives von on yonr bed! How many thoughts of peace He sends yon! And, like the 1 snlmist, love tbo riord, not only when lie shall have delivered you from trouble, but also whilo faith assures you tht He hears yonr voice and your supplications. And let faith assure yon of this. Be lieve that God does hear you, when you pray in the name of Jesus. Then vou will praise (toil apart from all fs or whens; and yon will feel and pay, not only 'How thankful I should be," but "How thankful I ami" TOWN HALL IX A'EISSE. This building was erected from 1002 to ICO I. and was considered by the Artist Historians, who wrote the story of "lienaisennco" in Germany, the most reniatkahlo monument of the style ever erected. Bv the renovation of the artistic gulilc, nnmerons traces of many of the old painters have been found. Ban rath Liiideke, of Kreslau, drew the plan upon which the renovation was made. Over the gable stands a stone iignre of the Archangel Michael. Below it. are the City-arms five iir.es. painted on a red ground, and In the centre of the snrrounding held are seen a shell blowing Triton, with two water Nymphs on the right and left alle gorical representations of the rivers Neisse and Blule. On the nine pilasters of the frieze, under the cornice, are seen the heads of nine Biblical heroes, while between the two double windows, the figure of Faith is roprescnte I. On the remain der oF the frieze, are placed the heads of the heroes of German olden-time. ending with Clilodwig and Chilperich. On the gable near the roof, are figures represotting Architecture and Naviga tion, bnt oue cannot see clearly what the three figures indicate, standing be tween tbem.

"The manager came, and all atonee Billy's manner changed and in the most urbane manner possible be told hlni he did not understand at first the necessity for signing, and, putting his name on the note with a flourish, got gold coins for it and walked out. leaving the two officials looking after him with puzzled faces. "Billy told them all at the Hotel Metropole over a glass of hot whisky and water, and asked: " 'Did I get a rise out of tho Bank of England, or did I dot?" " The general opinion was that he did. A BEE'S EYES. The directness or the bee's flight is proverbial. The shortest distanoe be tween any two given points is called a bee-line. Many observers think that the immense eyes with which the insect is furnished greatly assist, if they do not entirely account for the arrowy straigutness of its passage through the air. Every bee has two kiuds of eyes tho two large compound ones, look ing like hemispheres on either side, and the three simple ones which crown the top of the bead. Kach compound eye is composed of J.5II0 facets that is to say, an object is redect d 3,r00 times on its surface, livery one of these facets is the base of an inverted hezagona-pvramid, whose ipex is fixed to the head. Each pyra mid may lie termed an eye, for each lias its own iris and optio nerve. How these insects manage this marvellous number of eyes is not yet known. They are immovable, but mobility is render ed unnecessary because of the great i$tige of vision afforded by the position and number of the facets. They have no lids, bnt are protected from dust and injury by rows of hairs growing along the iines at the junctions of the facets. The simple eyes are supposed to have been given the bee to enable it to see tbove its head when intent upon gathering honey from the cups of flow ers. Probably this may be one reason bnt it is likely there are other uses for them not yet ascertained. A bee flies muoh in the same way as a p geon. That is to say, it takes first in npward, spiral flight into the air, and then darts straight for the object In view. Now, an experimenter on ln lect natnre covered a bee's simple eyes with paint and sent it into the air; in itead of darting straight off, after ris ing, it continued to ascend. Appar ently, then, these eyes are nsed in wuie measure to direct the flight Vhiladclphia .Saturday Xight. TI1K WOH3HR HALF. Mrs. Forundred "We need some lew rus."

Many odd and amusing stories are told of the clever French critic, Jules lanln, and his rrtcnas. " Dleaslng, or more to their credit, than ne in which Janln, Theodore Bu rette, the historian, and Len tayes, the composer, authorand critic, floured. Oneof Janln's best frienda was an old aunt who sent him to ichool when he was a boy. kept houe tor him, and took eood care of him when he, a young man, was making bis reputation, but not much money, In literature. It was, perhaps, in memory of bci that he made a protegee of a poor old h noticed one day in the street He placed her in a homo for aged persons, and until her aeath, rears afterward, was her thouchtful nd generous friend. The good woman was very ill once, and when she was sonvalescing she said: "I want to go and call on M. Janln. I must see him once more before I die." One of the women of the institution, went with her. Janin was living then at the top of a house which com manded a beautiful view of the garden of the Luxembourg. His "narret" was tilled with books and pictures, but like any other garret it was reached by climbing a great many stairs. Slowly and painfully the old woman toiled ud the lone flight. She had to sit down often to re9t- It took her nearly two hours to reach the top. Janin was breakfasting with Theo dore Burette, He received her with great cordu ality and affection, and the three had a happy breakfast. The two men de voted themselves to entertaining her. They inquired all about the home, the rules, the diversions, the food. her recent illness, and listened with genial Interest to all she had to say. She said Kood-by, and they made ready to esc ort her down-stairs. .'We will return your visit soon, they said, and placing themselves on either side of her, they began to de scend the stairs. Hut the effort and excitement had been too much for the ( reebie oia laay. tier limbs iaiieu her. and she could not take a step. Just then Sataycs appeared on the scene. "We must carry her down," he said. So they placed her com fortably in an arm-chair. Janin and Burette, who were small men, took the back, Satycs took tho front, and they went down flight after fight ol many-storied house, breathless but cheerful. "Well, my good woman," gaspeo Satayes, "I don't know of any queen who has a carriage like yours." The three literary workers wer pardly In training for their achieve ment, but thev placed her safe and Bound on the sidewalk, and saw hei go away with her attendant, her old heart deeply touched and pleased with the attentions she had received. The Legend of Standi ng Rock. While on the trip through Xorth Dakota, on which he got the piece of the cabin, Inspector Watkins was told by the Indian Agent at Standing Uock Agency the legend of the stone from which the place gets Its name. Years ago, according to the Indian tradition, a buck and his squaw were on a Journey down the Missouri Rivet to visit some relatives at a distant point. Where Fort Yates now is the buck saw a young squaw of surprising beauty, with whom he fell desper ately in love. In spite of the tears and entreaties of his lawful wife, he refused to proceed-on the Journey oi in any other direction, but resolved to stay right there with his new found passion. The deserted squaw exhausted her entreaties and hci tears and finally arose to leave the place alone. As she aid so she fell back in the spot where she had been Kitting and turned to stone. There she has remained ever since, a stand' ing reproach to her faithless lord and master and to all his kind. By a faint stretch of the Imagination the standing rock from which the agency gets its name can lie made to take oo the outlines of a woman. The Indians believe the story and pay homage to the monument of man's perfidy and fickleness and wo man's constancy. While the Inspector was at Fort Yates he saw an Indian approach the rock, bow rev erently and lay something at its base. When the Indian had aone the In spector and the agent went out to see what the offering was. It was a chew of tobacco, no heavy sacrifice, it might be said; but perhaps it was the last the Indian had.
