THE LllTLlfi FOLKS*
Vrogc at School.
Twenty lroggtea went to school
Down beside a rushy pool
Twenty little coat* of green,
Twenty vests all white and clean.
We must be in time," said they
"First we study then we play
That in how to keep the rule
When we.troggles go to school."
Master Bullfrog, grave and stern,
flailed the classes in their turn
Taught them bow to nobly strivo,
likewise bow to leap and diro
"from his seat upon the log,
H' $hoWel theni how fc'gay Ker-chog I"...
Also how to dodge a blow
From the sticks which bad boys throw.
Twenty froggies grew up fast
Bullfrogs they became at last
Not one dunce among the lot,
Not one lesson they" forgot
Polished in a high degree,
As each froggle ought to be
Now they sit on other logs,
Teaching other little frogs.

The God-send Bos.
One miserable, rainy day, Bob and
Will put on their rubber boots and went
a-fishing. I wanted dreadfully to go,
bat they wouldn't let me. I meant to
have some fan thougbftand asked grand
pa if I might go into the east attic and
rummage. He said yes." And then I
was glad I had not gone. Trouting is
fun, I know, but to pull over nice, old
musty things is just splendid! So I ran
at onoe to a great r«cl chest, that filled
almost one end of the room, to see what
I could find in it. I always wanted to
get a chance at it, for it made me think
of the "Mistletoe box," and I thought
there must be something strange shut up
inside. On top, there was a pile of otd
papers and things that I didn't care any
thing for, but pretty soon I found a fun
ny little red box, With queer gilt pictures
aSl-ever it, and on the top tws funny in
scription "For Percilla, mye little
Qod-sende." I pulled off the cover, and
there was the dearest little tea-set you
ever saw, or what was left of one. For
the spout of the tea-pot was gone, the
cover of the sugar-bowl was broken, and
only two cups and three saucers were left.
On one side was the picture of a China
man sowing tea. He was all in bine, the
ground under his feet was pink, and the
sky over his head was green. Then on
the other side there was a gilt wreath
with a blue vine and leaves, and inside of
that some gilt letters, but they were all
twisted together so I couldn't make them
out. But I took the box and ran to the
shop, where grandpa was at work, and
asked him to tell me all about them.
Poor grandpa! he almost cried when he
saw what I had, and took up a little cup
and put it on his finger, which it fitted
just like a thimble. Then he said
I'm sure I didn't know there was one
piece of the set left they belonged to
my sistfer Percilla. Don't you see her
initials here—' P. B.'?" and he pointed
to the twisted lettars.
Why, grandpa 1 didn't know you
ever had a sister. Do tell us about her,
and how she came to have .a real china
tea-set with her name on it like a wo
man's."
Well," said grandp, perhaps you
didn't know that my lather (your great
grandfather) was a sea captain, and de
many long voyages to the East. He had
three boys, Johnny, Stevie and myself,
an A though he loved us dearly, he al
ways longed for a little daughter. When
he came home from a voyage and brought
gi to each of us boys, there was al
ways a mysterious box or bundle which
was never opened, but put carefully away
to await the coming of the little girl
whom father felt sure God would, some
day, send us. When he was about to
make his last trip, mother begged him
not to go, but stay at home and take care
of the boys, who she said were getting
too big for her to manage. He laughed
and said: Well, wife, dry up your
tears, and I give you my word that after
this trip I'll stay at home all my life and
thrash the boys until they are forty, if
you say so." Then mother laughed and
father went away, to be gone at least
three years."
_" Before the first year was gone, Qod
did send the little girl, and you can't
think how glad we were, nor how we
longed to have father hear the good
news. To be sure we wrote many times,
but in the few letters we got from him
he always complained of not having
heard one word from us since he sailed.
So it went on, until he had been gone
more than three years, and he neither
came nor wrote, and we all began to feel
anxious and worried about him, while
mother never smiled, and gut thin and
white. Prilly was our one comfort in
those days. Father had said that when
ever she came she must be called Porcilla
in memory of his mother, and we made
it into Prilly, for Percilla seemed too
stately for our little snnbeam, as we
called her. We used to make her say,
Dear father, welcome home,' over and
over, to keep up mother's courage, as
well as our own, which was fast oozing
•way.
Finally there came, one day, aletter
from a woman in Nantucket, saying that
father was sick at her house that her
husband, who was captain of a whaling
vessel, had picked him up, in mid-ocean,
in an open boat, and that his mind was
gone, and though he had had, since
wen, good care and a good doctor, he
was no better, and she thought mother
had better come as soon as she could. It
seems the captain had known father years
before, and that was the way they knew
where to send for his wife. Well,
mother went, of course, and I can tell
you it was a pretty long summer for us
boys, for she was gone along time. But
at last she came home, one night, with
father, so thin and pale, and with such a
dull, vacant look in his eyes we never
should have known him if mother had
not been by his side. Prilly heard us
say mother! and she came out to the
doorstep, in her white nightgown (for
she was in bed), and with her blue eyes
and beautifnl yellow hair, all lit up with
the last red sunbeams of the setting sun,
looked just like the picture of one of
God'a angels. And I guess father
thought die was one really, for when,
in obedience to a sign from us, she put
out her arms to him and said 'Dear
father, welcome home,' he looked sur-
Eere
rised, and said, Did God send you
to say that Then Stevie, who was
always quick to think,
took her up and put
her in his arms, and said, 'Yes, father
this is God's send to you.' Then father
came to himself, and knew us all, and,
after he had rested and slept, told us
all how he came to be in such a bad
plight It seems that he had the mi*,
fortune to fall in with a French priva
.teer, and, his Teasel being laden with
rich goods, the French pirate opened
fire upon him, thinking to get mueh
booty. Father's vessel was unarmed,
and of course oould not stand much of
,-f, ai chaaoe inMelia fight. When he saw
ton not escape, he called the men
and told each one to do as he pleased,
bat for himself he should fight till
the last, and taking a big ax he sta
tioned himself by the gangway so
Wbo& the pintes boar&jd the ship he
toady with it, and struck down
Several before he could be seemed.

he was no
toward he might fay a fight with wind
«od waves, and perhaps he might oome
off conqueror of them. So they low
ered a boat, put father in it, with no
food or water, compass or oar, and left
him to a terrible death, as they hoped
and believed. But God's care and love
was over him even in that wild waste of
water. How long he drifted he did not
know, for the exposure, without food or
water, soon affected his brain, and he
never knew anything more until Prilly's
artless words called back his wandering
mind..
"I tell you we had a happy hottte after
that, for father never left us again, and
we didn't get thrashed either," said
grandpa laughing.
"But, then, how about this tea-set?
You haven't told me that, grandpa."
Well, the next year, an English man
of-war put an end to the business of the
French privateer. A breach was made
in her side, and she being well riddled
with shot began to fill with water, so they
were forced to give up all hope of towing
her into harbor. The crew rushed in to
get what they could for booty. One of
them grabbed this box from the captain's
cabin, thinking from its appearance that
it must contain precious jewels. When
he opened it he was a good deal surprised
and uttered an exclamation of disap
pointment and anger which attracted the
pirate cook's attention, who 'imagined
what was the trouble. The sailor showed
him the box, and he knew it in an in
stant. You see, he was the steward on
board my father's vessel when the pi
rate's took it, and they, finding he could
cook, spared his life to cook foi them.
Now it chanced that this man was with
my father when he gave his order for
these gilt letters you see inside the
wreath, and so he remembered it in a
flash, and told the sailor of it, and beg
ged him to let him have the box to take
to the family of his old captain, for of
course he thought father long ago at the
bottom of the ocean.
One cold winter's night, after we
had all gone to bed, there came a loud
knock at the door, and when father went
to open it there stood the man with this
little box under his arm. Well, cap
tain,' doid he, I've come'to restore lost
property, though God' knows I didn't
dream of seeing you,' and forthwith
gave up the box. Then father wrote the
inscription tbat yon see and put the box
by Prilly's bed, and I suppose you know
how glad she was when she waked up in
the morning and found it, for you area
girl yourself."
You just try me, grandpa, by letting
me have it now," said I.
"No," said he, "your name isn't
Percilla only a little granddaughter by
that name can ever have it."
So it had to go back into the big red
chest. But I'm going to have it yet,
for when I am a woman and have a
l^Mband and a house, I shall call my
DBDy Percilla, even if it's a boy, and so
get the God-send box.—Christian

How do you build your nest, sir
asked the crow of the rook. I'm going
to make a new one, and should like to
improve on the last"
Much as you do," replied the rook,
"only I don't think you make yours
quite deep enough."
"Thank you, sir," said the crow.
"How do you build your nest, Bir?"
asked the crow of the raven.
In your fashion, but larger yours,
was too small. Make the nest at lease
two sizes larger."
Thank you, sir," said the crow.
Mag, how do you build your nest!"
he asked of the magpie.
"0, any how," said Mag. "I just
pack the sticks together, much aa you
do, only I make a cover to it. You
should make a cover."
Yes, Mag, I should," said the crow.
How.do you build your nest, Jack
the crow asked of the jackdaw.
0, I use sticks, as you do but I
like a nice, soft lining, and I choose a
snug chink to build in. Take my ad
vice, friend if you want to be quiet and
safe from weasels and other enemies,
settle in the old tower, or in yonder
stone quarry."
Thank you, Jack I certainly will,"
said the crow.
So the rook and the raven, and the
magpie and jackdaw, all gave the crow
great credit for being humble-minded
and willing to learn, and felt much in
terest in her work, and went in a body
to see the new nest, each expecting to
find an improvement after his own sug
gestion, when, lo they found it to be in
size, in form, in lining and position,
precisely like the old one.

How Mr. Hill, of Colorado, Got the Best
of the Grasshoppers.
Mr. H-il always sows a large area of
land. His hopefulness prompts the
sowing, and his combativeness prompts
him to fight and save. About fourteen
years ago Mr. Hill had all his money in
vested in his first crop. The young
grasshoppers commenced to eat the
wheat'as it came in sight. There were
piles of them trying to cross the ditch.
So vast was the number that most men
were discouraged, and lost their crops.
Mr. Hill now commenced to run water
around his crop, and when the 'hoppers
swam across, he took a sharp spade and
cut the bank of the ditch smoothly on
the side next the crop, and soon had the
pleasure of seeing millions of the de
stroyers swepf. off into the creek. When
other millions succeeded in reaching the
wheat he patiently drove them back into
the ditoh. In this way, watching and
fighting with all his energy, he con
quered at last. Mr. Hill said he felt
paid for his work, for he made $4,000
that year, getting twelve cents a pound
for his wheat
In late years Mr. Hill fought the grass
hoppers with fire. He and his men
would put a belt of straw ten feet wide
across a field, and with long poles, to
which were attached pieces of muslin,
drive the 'hoppers into the straw. They
could be driven only, from S o'clock to
3. Once in the straw they remained
quiet Two men then drew.aline of fire
along the sides of the belt, of straw, and
consumed every one. They were de
stroyed in such numbers that they could
be taken in double handfuls.
One year Mr. Hill had a patch of 1,600
caboages, up6n which the 'hoppers fed
in great numbers, until the cold weather!
came. The ground was full of eggs.
Upon examination it seemed that the
average number that cacli grasshopper
deposited was twenty-seven. There!
were eggs enough to bring forth a brood
*V°uld have eaten up tke whole
farm. Mr. Hill commenced to experi-j
ment with the eggs. Placing them in
the direct rays of the sun, he found thai
it required only a short time to hatch'
them. Concluding that of they oooldf
be kept cool they would never hatch, hel
plowed them all under, and never hearcl
of them afterward. They probably all
rotted. He is confident that we are go
ing to be able to manage the youna
grasshoppers hereafter.—Greeley SunJ

SILVER.
Its Depreciation, and the Causes that Have
Produced It.
[From the Fall Mall Gazette.]
The fall in the value of silver, which
is now before a-committee of the House
of Commons, and which is causing such
serious loss in Indian exchanges, is at
tributed to different causes by different
observers. It has been assigned to a
panic, to the present extraordinary state
oftra^ei to the demonetization of sjlver
iir Geraanyf or to the increased produc
tion of the silver mines. Probably it is
the result of all these operating at the
same time. The last cause, it seems to
me, has'not yet been fully realized in
this country, and still less nave its prob
able results in the future been properly
weighed. I happened last autumn to
have the opportunity of examining a
portion of the silver-mining district in
Nevada, and although the present pro
duction of silver in that State is very
great, I saw that it was a mere cipher in
comparison with the enormous amount
of mineral which is as yet scarcely
touched. In spite of the depression in
trade, which was marked in that district
by the number of miners out of work,
new localities were being opened out al
most daily by enterprising Americans,
which will ultimately flood the market.
To take, an example In June last a
new lode of silver ore was discovered
near Battle Moilntain, a station on the
Central Pacific railway, 519 miles from
San Francisco, in one of the ranges of
metamorphic schists and slates which
rise from the great arid plains covered
with sage-brush, that extend, at an alti
tude of about 5,000 feet, from the eastern
slope of the Sierra Nevadas to the western
plateaus of the Rocky Mountains. At
the time of my visit in October the works
were far advanced, and now are in full
production. The lode runs north and
south, and in some places stands up
above the general surface of the liilllikfl
a broken-down wall, measuring no less
than thirty-two feet, and making quite a
featurein the barren landscape. Through
this the silver was disseminated in de
posits of varying richness, but in enor
mous quantities. This new locality for
silver was so little known that the geo
logical surveyors of Nevada, under Mr
Clarence King, were at that time unac
quainted with it. It is merely one of
many similar accumulations which will
certainly be worked before very long.
These argentiferous ranges extend south
ward from Nevada and Utah, through
Arizona and New Mexico, to join the
great mining districts of Mexico proper,
and northward in the direction of Ore
gon and Idaho to an unknown limit
The principal obstacles to their wealth
being realized are the hostility of the In
dians, the want of wood, and the diffi
culties of carriage. These, however, are
being rapidly overcome. The red Indian
is vanishing at the contact of the white
man, and railways are swiftly bringing
places hitherto inaccessible within reach
of the Pacific and the Eastern States.
And, although the lonely plains which
sweep round the metaiiferous ranges al
most like a sea are treeless, the pine-clad
Sierra Nevadas on the one hand and the
Rocky Mountains on the other, offer an
endless Bupply of timber. Through
many of the canyons streams mark their
courses by lines of luxuriant willows and
elder trees, and water is to be met with
in many places, even in "the sage-bush
plains," at a short distance from the sur
face. The latter, if irrigated, are fertile
beyond measure. It is oertain, there
fore, that the supply of silver from these
regions will be largely increased, and un
less the demand keep pace with it the
price must continue to fall. If, as some
people assert, the present low price is
not produced by the increased supply of
silver, there can be no doubt that the
latter cause will come into operation in
the immediate future.
Advantages of Anonymous Authorship.
The poet Coleridge, he who wrote the
Ancient. Mariner," used to tell the fol
lowing capital story:
When my Lyrical Ballads' first
came out it was anonymously, and they
made a good deal of noise. A few days
after they were published I dined at
Mrs. Barbaud's, and sat beside many
tomed Pinkerton,' as he was called, from
the number and variety of his writings.
We talked a good deal together, and I
found him very amusing and full of
general information. When we retired
to the drawing-room, he led me to a re
cess, having taken a copy of the Lyri
cal Ballads' which lay on the table.
Pray, sir," said he, have you read this
thing?' *1 have looked into it.' 'Do
you know the author asked he. Do
yon know the author?' echoed I, re
solved not to be caught. 'No,' said
Pinkerton but I never read such utter
trash as his book, particularly an extrav
agant farrago of absurdity called the
"Ancient Mariner." Don't you think
it insufferable?' Coleridge—'Intoler
able j' Pinkerton—' Detestable!' Cole
ridge—|Abominable!' Pinkerton—' Sir,
you delight me. It is really delightful
to meet a man of sound taste in these
days of our declining literature. If I
have a passion on earth, it is an abhor
rence of these "Lyrical BalladB," of
which everybody is talking, but more
especially of this wretched "Ancient
Mariner."* Coleridge—' Hush I Not
a word more! Here comes our hostess.
I know she is acquainted with the au
thor, -and she might be hurt' Pinker
ton (pulling Coleridge by the button,
taking a pinch of snuff, and speaking in
a whisper)—' I'll tell yon what, sir, we
musn't let this matter drop. Let's HA a
day for dining together at the Turk's
Head. We'll have a private room, a
beefsteak, a bottle of old port, pens, ink,
and a quire of foolscap. We'll lay our
heads together and review this thing,
and if we don't give it such a slashing,
such a tearin'g, such a 'If we
don't!' said Coleridge. 'Is it a bar
gain?' 'Most certainly.'
lUehes and Death—A Short Sermon.
A rich old man lay dying. The full
number of years allotted to man had
passed away since first his eyes opened
to the light of day, and a father and a
mother rejoiced that a son was born unto
them: The full number of years allot
ted to man—it is along time and yet it
had not seemed long to him, so stealth
ily do the days glide by. But it is long
enough to incur grave responsibilities—
responsibilities which, if the preachers
preach truth, stretch out, in their con
sequences, through all eternity.

Piper's Confession.
Piper, the sexton, who was indicted
for the murder of little Mabel Young, in
the belfrey of a Boston church, had two
trials. At the first the jury dis
agreed. At the second he was convicted.
At both these trials the prisoner af
fected total ignorance of the manner in
which the littje girl came to her death.
he a ha a a it
that she was killed by the trap-door fall
ing on her head but he was afraid to
say so at tho time, lest he should be sus
pected of having murdered her.
It would be a great relief to the fam
ily of the ohild. and to the community
generally to be able to believe this im
probable but not impossible explanation
now rendered of the terrible tragedy.
Piper's story recalls the singular histo
ry of the murder of Dr. Parkman by Dr.
John W. Webster,
Boston many years ago. Dr. Webster
persisted in the declaration of his inno
cence during his trial, and at its close
even denounce^ his counsel for not hav
ing defended him successfully. But be
fore his execntion he admitted that he
killed Dr. Parkman, insisting that he
did it by a single, sudden blow, struck
in a moment of intense irritation. Many
people believed this story but it was
rejected by the Governor of the State
and Webster was executed.
Cooking Meat by Cold.
Those who have handled a piece of
congealed mercury, which freezes at a
temperature of forty degrees below
zero, will know that the sensation is
similar to that produced by holding a
coal of fire in the hand. In other words,
intense heat and intense cold bear a
striking resemblance to each other in
their effects. A Hungarian chemist,
whose specialty consists of finding out
the best methods of preserving meats,
has made practical use of this analogy in
the action of heat and cold, and partial
ly cooks his meats by subjecting them
to the action of intense cold. Strange
to say, the meat subjected to this low
temperature is reduced to a conditior
similar te that produced1 by heat. Tkt
material must be perfectly fresh, and
after being exposed to a temperature of
thirty-three degrees below zero, must be
carefully sealed in tins. It is found
when opened to preserve a remarkable
freshness, and to be in a more satisfac
tory condition for use than has hitherto
been-attained by any other method for
the same purpose. A large manufactory
is being built in Hungary for preparing
meat on this novel principle.
Celestials in Rebellion.
Two formidable insurrections are dis
turbing the peace of China. One in
Kivor-ying" lias gained greatrstrength
the rebels having been joined by the
imperial troops sent to quell the rebel,
lion. Several interior cities have been
taken, and are held by the rebels. The
second insurrection is in Shan-see, the
importance of which may be estimated
by the fact the Viceroy of Kiang-su is
endeavoring to negotiate a loan of 10,
000,000 taels, expressly to pay the
troops and purchase arms and material
to subdue the rebels.
ON Sundays in San Francisco 30,000
people cross the bay, a distance of six
miles, in order to enjoy picnics in the
oak woods on the opposite shore.
THE great Empire of Brazil, with a
splendid map of South America, is ex
haustively treated of in the American Cy
clopaedia, together with a special notice
of the Emperor, Dom Pedro II. This
great work is nearly completed, the last
volume being in press. The cost of this
immense undertaking is over $450,000,
exclusive of paper, printing, and bind

Co., New York, supply the work in
monthly or bi-monthly volumes when
desired. They will supply specimen
pages, on application, gratis.
