CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
Gaspar’s TempraTion.—Cold, hungry,
and ragged was Gaspar Morgan, as he
stood looking in at a famous bakeshop in
Boston, His littie cold nose was flats
tened azainst* the great window-pane, his
blue fingers were thrust into pockets that
had seen better days, and his bare toes
just touched the frosty pavement as he
stfetched up, gazing wistfully at the temp
tingly arrayed ‘goodies.’ Within, Jobn,
the baker’s boy, was busily dealing out
hot loaves and nice fresh~looking cakes to
the crowd of customers :
‘Oh, ain’t them ‘cakes jolly!’ cried
Gaspar in his delight, forgetting himself
and speaking aloud. ‘Would't I like to
be a baker’s boy! Oh, my! see the feller
cram down the ginger~bread! If ’twas
only me. Crackie!’ and Gaspar executed
a gymnastic feat in anticipation, and then
put his face to the window again, He
was so busy talking to himself that he did
not mnotice the mirth of alittle old man
almost hidden in a huge fur overcoat, who
was standing in the shalow near by.
‘Oh, dear!” sighed Gaspar, as he saw a
servant loading a basket ‘Would't it be
nice to carry home that basket to mother
and little Sue! How mother *would cry,
and Sue would cat lke a house afire!’
and Gaspar took his nose away from the
windcw to watch the servant and basket
descend the steps. DBut just then a
portly man, with a market-basket on his.
arm, came pufling clumsily up the steps,
and running against the servant, upset
the basket and nearly capsized its bearer.
‘l’ll teach you better manmers, you
great_lumbering lubber !’ cried"the scrs
vant furiously, picking up his scattered
purchases.
‘Ho, ho!’ said the great man, good~
naturedly. ‘Nearly putan end to ye, hey?
Well, don’t lose your temper ¥’
‘liose my temper |’ exclaimed the other
fiercely. . ‘You'll pay for*that!’ and he
rushed after him in‘o the shop.
Gaspar was a bighly-amused #itness of
the scene, and was giggling ‘all to bims
self’ by the large window, when he caught |
sight of s mething white on the pave
ment, and with a ery of joy picked it up.
‘Cracsie! if it hain’t a whooping big
loaf of brcad! Warm as an oven; too!
Won’t mother and Sue have a teast !’ and
the lit le fellow danced for joy. All at
once his countenance feli, and he looked
stealthily around. He hLad been well
taught by his pious mother. She had often
told him she wou!d rather starve thaun
take what was not her own. These words
came to him now. There was a great
struggle goiug on in Gaspar's heart just
then. The good at last trinmpbed, and,
with a smothered sob a very determined
look on his face, he went bravely into the
shop where the wrathful servant aund the
man were still disputing.
‘Here, mister,’ said be, pulling the ser
vaut by the sleeve, ‘here’s your loaf of
bread you dropped !’
*My bread! you young rascal!’ eried
he, glad to vent his spite on some ouc.
‘How much baye yoa stollen beside
‘For shame!" said the corpulent gen
tleman.
“That’s all the thanks I get,’ muttered
Gaspar, as he trudged hurgrily and sor
rowtully homeward. But when almost
there, be heard a quick step bebind him,
and a hand was laid on bhis shou'der,
Turning, ke saw a small old gentleman in
a big fur coat. . .
‘Well, my little man,’ said he pleasant
ly, ‘why did you not carry home the bread
to mother and little Sue ¥’ Gaspar wurned
very red, and the werry old man burst
into a fit of laughter. :
‘Ho, ho!" he almost shouted. ‘Thought
you didu’t know someboly was looking at
you all the time” Tnen he added grave
ly, ‘Give me your hand, my boy. [ saw
it all, and It’s lucky you did not yield to
the temper I slmuli have mnabbed you
quick asa wink; for if'there’s anybody I'm
down on, its a thief,
‘I hope 1 shall never do so again,’ said
Gaspar, coufusedly.
‘l’ll risk you,’ said the man. ‘Now
take we to your home, and I’ll hely you,
or my vame isn’t Nicholas Grum !’
Gaspar told his new friend his sad
story—how his father bat died and left
his mother to take care of the children
—how she grew sick, and Susie cried for
bread.
But it would take a long time to tell
what a kind {riend Mr. Grum was to the
poor family. He hired new aud better
loagiugs, and little Susie, a pretty bl ck
eyed girl, soon grew plump aund joyous,
As for Guspar, he forgot his desire to be
a baker's boy with his first good diuner.
But his uoble friend got him a situation
in a store, where by his honesty and
strict attention to business, he fivally rose
to be partner, and is now a wellsknown
merchant of Boston, whose real name we
bave not given, —lHome Monthly.
The Homestead of Henry Clay was

ing is strictly an amusement, although
some folks make a busizess of it.
It has been considered an index of
charaeter, and there ure some so close at
reasoring that the; say they can teil what
a man had for dinner by seeing him
laugh. f
I never saw two laugh alike.
While there are some who don’t make
any noise, there are some who don’t make
anything but noise—and some, again,
who have music in their laugh, and others
who laugh just as a rat does who has
eaught a steeldrap with his tail.
There is no mistake in the assertion
that it isa comfort to hear scme laughs
that come romping out of a man’s mouth
—like a d's‘riet school of young girls
just let cut to play. .
Men who never langh may have good
hearts, but they ave deep-scated—like
gum springs, they have their inlet and
outlet from helow and show no sparkling
bubble on the brim. Lo
I dbu't like a giggler; his kind of
Jaughda like the davdlion, a broad yellow,
and not a bit of good smell about it.
It is true that any kind of a laugh, if
it is onest, is better than none; but give
me the laugh that looks out of a man’s
eyes first, to see if the coast is clear, then
steals down into the dimple-of his cheek
ard rides in an eddy there swhile, then
waltzes a spell at the corner of his mouth
like a thing of life, then bursts its bonds
of be@@ty and fills the air for a moment
with‘hower of silvery tongued sparks,
then steals buck with a smile to its lair in
the heart to watch again for its prey—
this is the kind of laugh that I love aud
am pot afraid of —Sutnrday Press.
Musical Prodigies are almost constant~
ly making their appearance in Europe.
The latest is a Portuguese by, named
Ferreira, who playsupon his bands, using
no other instrument, He does pot whistle
at all; it is pure flute playing. The notes
are produced on the left hand, and he
plays upon it with his right. The four
fingers of the left hand are opened like
the letter V—two fingers on each side.
The month is inserted in the opeuing, so
that the tips of the fingers come near the
eyes. The thumb of the right hand is
placed on the palm of the left, and the
fingers play freely, as it seems, in the air,
but they atfect every note. If the reader
attempts to produce a musical sound
that way he will probably fail, but Fer~
reira produces two octaves and a half.
His jfostistimo is tremendously strong,
and his pranissimo as faiut as the distant
warbling of the lark.
