Be sure you state by what boat or train you will go, -and your hour of leaving home, so that there will be no uncertainty -about meeting you. When nothing is mentioned as to the duration of your -visit, it is usual to assume that a week will be its sufficient period. -Do not stay longer than that time, unless you are urged to do so. The -most agreeable guest is the one who is regretted when he or she goes -away. Always anticipate a good time, and be prepared to contribute your -share to it. Be pleased with what is done for you, and express your -pleasure. Do not be obtrusive in offering help to your host, but if an -opportunity arises for you to give assistance, do not be afraid to -embrace it. There are little helpful things which come in our way at -home and abroad if we have eyes to see them. Charlie, dear boy, was at -Tom's house not long ago, and happening to glance from the window, he -noticed Tom's mother struggling to open the gate with her hands full of -parcels. He ran out at once, and relieved her of some of her bundles, -held the gate open as she passed in, and closed it behind her. Helen, -who is her mother's right hand when at home, is in request in her -friends' houses, for somehow she scatters sunshine wherever she goes, -she is so bright, so animated and cheery. She plays beautifully, and she -never has to be coaxed to sit down at the piano, but does it willingly, -and plays for dancing--a thing which most girls regard as tiresome--with -spirit and good-nature whenever there is need of her skill. - -When visiting we ought to conform to the family ways. It is ill-bred to -give trouble or cause annoyance. Harry's father and mother dislike -extremely to have people late for meals. When the Lesters were staying -there they seldom heard the breakfast bell, and never came home from an -outing until dinner was almost finished. Harry said he could not help -it, but reproof nevertheless came upon him. Boys should not go tearing -wildly through a friend's house, nor, for that matter, through their -own. Grown-up ladies and gentlemen have nerves which should be -considered. Of course well-behaved young people will put away their -outside wraps when in a strange house, and not leave overshoes in full -sight in the passage, nor shawls, cloaks, hats, and gloves lying loosely -around the parlors. Young girls should be careful in their use of the -pretty things that adorn their chambers. Do not rumple that dainty lace -pillow-sham, nor strew your clothing over every chair and sofa, to the -irritation of the mistress. Do not follow your friend and host -everywhere, but at the busy times of the day amuse yourselves with books -or work, and remember to thank them, on leaving, for what they have done -for you. - - - - -INDIAN TALES. - -TWO METHODS OF OBTAINING HORSES. - - -Of all the long list of officers who served the East India Company there -were few men whose careers were more remarkable than that of General -John Jacob. - -Others have raised regiments, conquered provinces, and afterward -administered justice therein; but John Jacob was the first man who -created a nourishing town in a desert wilderness, and formed first one -and then three splendid regiments out of the most sanguinary and lawless -cut-throats on the face of the earth. In the athletic exercises so dear -to the Beloochees he excelled them all. Among a people who may be said -to be almost born on horseback, there was no rider like the commandant -of the Sind Horse. - -His men were taken from all the most warlike races of Northwestern -India. The Beloochee, the Pathan, the Mooltanee, and the semi-savage -tribesmen of the hills, had alike to learn obedience when they came -under his command, and his efforts to make them soldiers in the highest -sense of the word never relaxed. - -In the year 1854 the country was full of complaints of horse-stealing on -a scale that had not been heard of for many years. No steed of value was -safe, and the thief or thieves must have been tolerably good judges of -horse-flesh, as none but the finest were taken, and these of course -belonged principally to the wealthiest inhabitants. One strange thing -was that the horses were stolen in such an extraordinary manner as to -leave no foot-marks behind them. Not one of the animals could be traced -as ever having been offered for sale in the country. Stables are rare in -Upper Sind, and it is customary to secure a horse by picketing him with -head and heel ropes, the syce, or groom, usually sleeping in the open -air with the animal. The curious part of the matter was that each and -every syce who had had a horse stolen from under his care told exactly -the same story--that it had been taken away by Sheitan himself in -person, after they, the syces, had been put to sleep by his diabolical -arts. - -To be sure, they described his personal appearance in many ways, -according to the impression severally produced upon their excited -imaginations, but in the main facts they were all agreed. They had been -sleeping or watching, as the case might be, beside their horses, when a -hideous figure suddenly and silently appeared to them, waved his right -hand, muffled in a white cloth, in their faces; they lost their senses, -and when they recovered, the horses were gone. In no case had the demon -injured the men. Where more than one horse was picketed the fiend never -appeared, which was considered to be the reason that the splendid -chargers of the Sind Horse were not touched. - -Superstition is very prevalent in Sind, as indeed it is throughout the -East, and had any native skeptic ventured to hint that alert sentries, a -vigilant patrol, and a stable guard with loaded carbines had anything to -do with this immunity, he would, indeed, have been looked upon as a -scoffer. - -As to the British officers, of course, although heroes, they were -infidels, and, however they might laugh at the idea of Satan roaming -about the earth to deprive the sons of men of their horses, they could -have no power to check the public opinion of the bazars. - -There was, however, an old Ressaldar, or native captain of the Sind -Horse, who was very much inclined to take the Feringhee view of the -matter. Ressaldar Nubbee Bux was a veteran who had served in his corps -almost from its foundation, and in his younger days had fought against -the flag under which he had since served so long. He, with many other -brave Beloochees, had been opposed to Sir Charles Napier at Meeanee, and -had a vivid recollection of the time when the inhabitants of Sind -actually believed that distinguished though eccentric General to be the -fiend in human form. Since then Nubbee Bux had acquired rank, honor, and -a good deal of worldly wisdom. He was naturally a shrewd, hard-headed -man, and contact with intelligent Europeans had, if not entirely -eradicated native superstitions from his mind, at least rendered him -very dubious of any stories having for their basis supernatural agency. -He had heard of genii, jinns, divs, afrites, and other evil spirits, but -he had never seen one; he had never known them in his own time to -interfere in worldly matters, nor had he heard, even in ancient story, -that they were in the habit of laying felonious hands on live stock, or -earthly property of any description. That the Prince of Darkness himself -should be so hard up for horses as to go about stealing them appeared -to him incomprehensible. It struck him as a mystery he should like to -unravel; and as he feared nothing nor nobody on the face of the earth, -nor below it, save his commanding officer, he determined to try. -Ascertaining the whereabouts of the last wonderful robbery, he obtained -a fortnight's leave of absence, and repaired to the village, well armed, -and mounted on a magnificent thorough-bred Arab horse. He did not enter -it nor put up at the serai, but had a tent some little distance outside. -There he was soon visited by the head men of the place, who lost no time -in paying their respects, for a native officer of the Sind Horse is a -great man in the country around Jacobabad. - -After salutations the local magnates were full of the unaccountable -robberies, and earnest in their warnings to the Ressaldar to take care -of his noble steed. Had he not better come into the village? The Kotwal -had a stable with lock and key at his service, and would put a watchman -over the door all night. Nubbee Bux civilly but firmly declined these -favors. He said that if it was fated Sheitan should have his horse, -neither lock, key, nor watchman could prevent it; he should stay where -he was, and his syce should sleep with the animal as usual. His visitors -departed, and the native officer, after a stroll about, took his supper -outside the tent, smoked his hookah, and when it was dark dismissed his -servants, and went to bed--or seemed to do so. - -When the distant hum of the village was entirely hushed, and no sound -but the usual howling of the jackals met his ear, he rose, pulled aside -the canvas opening of the tent, and made a curious sort of barely -audible noise like the "chup, chup" of the stag-beetle. His syce, who -was lying beside the horse, swathed in a huge blanket, which covered his -head as well as his feet, rose, and with noiseless footfall entered his -master's tent. In three minutes he re-appeared, _or seemed to do so_, -and again wrapping himself in his great blanket, lay down to sleep by -the horse's side, _or seemed to do so_. - -In about two hours from that time a hideous form appeared to rise from -the earth. Its figure was human, but the dark brown flesh glistened as -no human flesh ever glistened naturally, while the head was indeed -fearsome to behold. It was surmounted by an enormous pair of horns, had -two glaring eyes, and a mouth full of frightful teeth, from which -protruded a tongue forked like a barbed arrow. - -The weird figure stooped and advanced its right hand, wrapped in a white -cloth, toward the head of the prostrate syce. Like a flash of lightning -that prostrate form sprang up. Ressaldar Nubbee Bux (for he was his own -syce on this occasion) dealt his assailant such a slash with his tulwar -as would have cleft the head of any mortal man in halves, and which, as -it was, stretched the horse-thief senseless on the ground. - -As Nubbee Bux, bare blade in hand, bent over his foe, a strange sight -met his view. - -The blow had split a head-covering composed of buffalo-skin with the -hair on, stretched over an iron mask, something like a diver's helmet, -with eyes of transparent horn ingeniously illuminated by means of minute -lamps concealed in the balls, the real eyes of the wearer having sight -beneath. The false teeth and forked tongue were knocked out, and lay on -the ground with the horns. - -The Ressaldar summoned his syce, who had remained in the tent, and a -light being brought, found that the prisoner who had fallen into his -hands was a fine athletic young Beloochee, about twenty-two years of -age. He was quickly bound, and by direction of his captor carried into -the tent. - -He was only stunned, and soon recovered to find himself helpless, and -the first words that fell upon his ear were spoken in his own language, -by a stern-looking man of some five-and-forty years, whose right hand -coquetted with the hilt of a tulwar, while his left hand ominously -handled a pistol. - -They were few but expressive: "Rascal! can you give me any reason that I -should not blow your brains out?" - -The prisoner remained silent. Nubbee Bux continued: "If I took you to -yonder village you would, as you know, be torn to pieces. If I give you -up to justice you will certainly be hanged. If, however, you obey my -orders implicitly, I may deal with you myself. Tell me instantly how you -managed all these robberies, and how you became possessed of that ugly -mask you frightened all the poor fools with." - -Then raising the pistol, he added, "I give you one minute to commence -speaking, or I fire--and, mind, no lies, or it will be worse for you!" - -The prisoner inclined his head, and said, in a firm voice, and with no -sign of trepidation, "Sirdar, I will speak the truth." - -"You had better," replied Nubbee Bux, grimly, toying with his weapons. - -"My name is Jumal. I come from Mittree, a small village about fifty -miles from here, on the banks of the Indus. My father is a very poor -man; but some two years ago he and I hid and sheltered an English -deserter from one of the European regiments at Kurrachee. He was much -inquired after by the police, but no one suspected us of harboring him. -He had rupees, and gave some to my father; but had it not been so, the -Sirdar is aware that the Beloochees, whatever else we may do, would -never turn from our door a hunted fugitive in distress." - -Nubbee Bux nodded. - -"We finally got him away up the river to Mooltan, where he said he would -be safe, as no one thereabouts knew him, and he had grown a long black -beard since his desertion, which, together with his hair, my father dyed -red for him. He was a clever fellow; he and I became friends, and he -made the mask which you destroyed to-night, to assist me in -horse-stealing, which I had already practiced on a small scale. He also -showed me the use of chloroform--an English medicine--and instructed me -how to procure it from Kurrachee. I used to pour some of it on the cloth -you saw on my hand, and used it to stupefy the syce after I had -frightened him. I then let the horse smell it sufficiently to render him -quiet. Before making my appearances I always dropped, a few yards off, a -small sack containing four little bags of moist sand, one of which I -tied round each foot of the horse, so that on leading him away his feet, -thus incased, hardly made any track, and the little impression there was -upon the dry loose sand far more resembled the footprint of a camel than -that of a horse, and even this was generally obliterated by the first -drifting of the sand in the morning breeze. The peculiar appearance of -my skin is due to the profuse application of cocoa-nut oil and sulphur. -When I had got the horse to a convenient distance I uncased his feet, -and stowing the coverings and my disguise in the sack, I mounted and -rode him straight across country, avoiding all roads, to a hiding-place -we had in the thick jungle. There my father and some friends who were -used to the business soon so altered his appearance by well-known means -that his late owner would hardly have known him. I never stole but one -horse at a time, and they were all sent up the river to Mooltan, thence -to be sold at various places remote from this." - -After this Jumal, the young horse-thief, gave up his evil ways, and -enlisted in the Sind Horse, becoming in a short time one of the most -valued members of the company commanded by his captor, old Nubbee Bux. - -This is one method of obtaining horses. Among certain tribes of Indians -in this country another method is practiced that is equally curious, but -far more honest. It is the custom called by the Indians of the plains -"smoking horses." If a tribe, or a band belonging to that tribe, -decides to send out a war party, one of the first and most important -things to be thought of is whether there are enough horses on hand to -mount the warriors. If, as is often the case, the horses of the tribe -have been stolen by other Indians, they decide to "smoke" enough horses -for present needs, and to steal a supply from their enemies at the first -opportunity. - -[Illustration: SMOKING HORSES.] - -In order to "smoke horses" a runner is dispatched to the nearest -friendly tribe with the message that on a certain day they will be -visited by a number of young men, forming a war party from his tribe, -who require horses. - -On the appointed day the young warriors appear stripped to the waist, -march silently to the village of their friends, seat themselves in a -circle, light their pipes, and begin to smoke, at the same time making -their wishes known in a sort of droning chant. - -Presently there is seen far out on the plain a band of horsemen, riding -gayly caparisoned steeds fully equipped for war. These horsemen dash up -to the village, and wheel about the band of beggars sitting on the -ground, in circles that constantly grow smaller, until at last they are -as close as they can get to the smokers without riding over them. Then -each rider selects the man to whom he intends to present his pony, and -as he circles around, singing and yelling, he lashes the bare back of -his victim with his heavy rawhide whip, repeating the stroke each time -he passes, until the blood is seen to trickle down. During this -performance the smokers take no notice of what is going on, but sit -immovable, calmly smoking and singing. If one of them flinched under the -cruel blows, he would not get his horse, but would be sent home on foot -and in disgrace. - -At last, when the horsemen think their friends have been made to pay -enough in suffering for their ponies, each dismounts, places the bridle -of his pony in the hand of the smoker whom he has selected, and at the -same time handing him the whip, says, "Here, beggar, is a pony for you -to ride, for which I have left my mark." - -After all the ponies have been presented, the "beggars" are invited to a -grand feast, during which they are treated with every consideration by -their hosts, who also load them with food sufficient to last them on -their homeward journey. - -At last the "beggars" depart with full stomachs and smarting backs, but -happy in the possession of their ponies and in anticipation of the time -when their friends shall be in distress, and shall come to "smoke -horses" with them. - - - - -[Begun in No. 46 of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, September 14.] - -WHO WAS PAUL GRAYSON? - -BY JOHN HABBERTON, - -AUTHOR OF "HELEN'S BABIES." - -CHAPTER VIII. - -DARED. - - -For a day or two after the terrible collapse of the Indian theory Paul -Grayson kept himself aloof from the other boys to such an extent that he -made them feel very uncomfortable. Benny, in particular, was made most -miserable by such treatment from Paul, for Benny was not happy unless he -could talk a great deal, and as he could not even be near the other boys -without being reproached for his untruthful Indian story, the coolness -of Paul reduced him to the necessity of doing all his talking at home, -where he really could not spend time enough to tell all that was on his -mind. - -Besides, there were several darling topics on which Benny's mother and -sister, although they loved the boy dearly, never would exhibit any -interest. Benny had lately learned, after months of wearisome practice -in Sam Wardwell's barn, that peculiar gymnastic somersault known and -highly esteemed among boys of a certain age as "skinning the cat," and -he was dying to have some one see him do it, and praise him for his -skill. But when he proposed to do it in the house, from the top of one -of the door frames, his mother called him inhuman, and his sister said -he was disgusting, the instant they heard the name of the trick; and -although Benny finally made them understand that cats had really nothing -to do with the trick, and that if he should ever want the skin taken off -a real cat he would not do the work himself, not even for the best -fishing-rod in town, he was still as far from succeeding as ever, for -when he afterward explained just what the trick consisted in, his mother -told him that he was her only boy, and while she liked to see him amuse -himself, she never would consent to stand still, and look at him while -he was attempting to break his blessed little neck. - -And how unsatisfactory his sister was when consulted about fish bait! In -marbles she had been known to exhibit some interest, but a boy could not -always talk about marbles. When Benny explained how different kinds of -live bait kicked while on the hook, and asked her to think of some new -kind of bug or insect that he could try on the big trout that had -learned to escape trouble by letting alone the insects already used to -hide hooks with, she told him that she didn't know anything about it, -and, what was more, she didn't care to, and she didn't think her brother -was a very nice boy to care for such dirty things himself. - -The change in the relations of the boys with Paul did not escape Mr. -Morton's eyes; and when he questioned his newest pupil, and learned the -cause, he made an excuse to send Paul home for something, and then told -the boys that to pry into the affairs of other people was most -unmannerly, and that he thought Paul had been too good a fellow to -deserve such treatment at the hands of his companions. The boys admitted -to themselves that they thought so too; and when next they were -out-of-doors together most of them agreed with each other that there -should be no more questioning of Paul Grayson about himself. Still, Sam -Wardwell correctly expressed the sentiment of the entire school when he -said he hoped that Paul would soon think to tell without being asked, -because it was certain that there was something wonderful about him; -boys were not usually as cool, strong, good-natured, fearless, and -sensible as he. - -Pleasant relations were soon restored between the boys, but there was -not as much playing in the school-yard as before, for the weather had -become very hot; so the usual diversion of the boys was to sit in a row -on the lower rail of the shady side of the school-yard fence, and tell -stories, or agree upon what to do when the evening became cooler. Paul -Grayson occasionally begged for a game of ball; he could not bear to be -so lazy, he said, even if the sun did shine hotly. But the boys could -seldom agree with him to the extent of playing on the shadeless -ball-ground; so after dismissal in the afternoon Paul used to go alone -to the ball-ground behind the court-house, and practice running, -hopping, jumping, and tossing a heavy stone, until some of the boys, not -having promised to abstain from talking with each other about Paul, -wondered if their mysterious friend might not be the son of some great -clown, or circus rider, or trapeze performer, or something of the sort. -Paul's exercises seemed to give a great deal of entertainment to the -prisoners in the jail, for some of them were always at the large barred -window, and the counterfeiter was sure to be at the small one the moment -he heard Paul come whistling by; and well he might, for that cell, -lighted only by a single very small window, must have been a dismal -place to spend whole days in. - -From occasionally looking at the prisoners from the play-ground Paul -finally came to stare at them for several minutes at a time. The other -boys could not see what there could be about such a lot of bad men to -interest a fine fellow like Paul; but Canning Forbes explained that -perhaps the spectacle would be interesting to them too if they were -strangers, and had not seen the prisoners in every-day life, and known -what a common, stupid, uninteresting set they were. All of the boys, -Canning reminded them, had been full of curiosity about the -counterfeiter when he had first been put into the jail; that, he -explained, was because the man was a stranger, and no one of them knew a -thing about him. Paul was in exactly the same condition about the other -prisoners, and the counterfeiter too. - -The explanation was satisfactory, but Paul's interest in the prisoners -was not, for all the time he spent staring at the side of the jail might -otherwise have been spent with them, all of whom, excepting perhaps Joe -Appleby, felt that they never could see enough of Paul. Some of them -were shrewd enough to reason that if Paul could be made to understand -what a miserable set those jail-birds really were, he would soon cease -to have any interest in them; so they made various excuses to talk about -the prisoners by name, and tell what mean and dishonest and disgraceful -things they did. - -But somehow the scheme did not work; Paul himself talked about the -prisoners, and he reminded the boys that some of those men had wives who -were being unhappy about them; and others, particularly the younger -ones, were keeping loving mothers in misery; and perhaps some of them -had children that were suffering, even starving, because their fathers -were in jail. How could any fellow help being curious about men, asked -Paul, whose condition put such stories into a man's mind? - -"Perhaps, too," Paul argued, "some of those men are not as bad as they -seem. Every man has a little good of some sort in him; and although he -is to blame for not letting it, instead of his wrong thoughts, manage -him, perhaps some day he may change. I can't help wishing so about all -of those fellows in the jail, and, what is more, I wouldn't help it if I -could--would you?" - -No, they wouldn't, the boys thought; still, they thought also, although -no one felt exactly like saying it aloud, that boys at Mr. Morton's -school had some good in them, and were a great deal surer to appreciate -the thoughtful tendencies of a good fellow than a lot of worthless town -loafers were, to say nothing of a dreadful counterfeiter. - -"If you feel that way," said Joe Appleby, somewhat sneeringly, after the -crowd had been silent for two or three moments, "why don't you go with -Mr. Morton when he visits the prisoners? I would do it if I felt as you -do; I would think it very wrong to stay away." - -Joe's tone, as he said this, was so absolutely taunting that most of the -boys expected to see Paul spring at him and strike him; they certainly -would do so themselves, if big enough, and talked to in that way. But -Paul merely replied, "I don't go, because he never asked me to." - -"Oh, don't let that stand in your way," said Joe, quickly; "you can -easily do the asking yourself. I'll ask for you, if you feel delicate -about putting in your own word." - -At this the boys felt sure there would be a fight, but to their great -surprise Paul sat quietly on the rail, and replied, "I should be much -obliged if you would; that is, if you're man enough to own that you -first taunted me about it." - -Joe arose, and looked as proud as if he were about to lead a whole army -to certain victory. - -"I'll do it," said he, "and right away, too." - -"And I," said Canning Forbes, "will go along to see that you tell the -story correctly, and do full justice to Grayson." - -Joe scowled terribly at this, but Canning, although a very quiet fellow, -had such a determined way in everything he undertook, that Joe knew it -was useless to remonstrate, so he strode sullenly along, with Canning at -his side. The other boys looked for a moment in utter astonishment; -then, as with one accord, all but Paul sprang to their feet and -followed. - -Mr. Morton was astonished at the irruption, as his bell had not been -sounded; but he listened to Joe's request and to Canning's statement, -which was supported by fragments volunteered by other boys, then he -replied, "I will gladly take Paul with me, but am sorry that the newest -pupil in the school should be the first to express a kind thought about -the unfortunates in the jail." - -Then Joe Appleby hung his head, and Canning Forbes did likewise, and -most of the other boys followed their example; but Benny rushed to the -side window, thrust his head out, and shouted, "It's all right, Paul; he -says you can go." - -Then all the boys laughed at Benny, at which Benny blushed, and the -teacher rang his bell, which called in no one but Paul. Then the school -came to order, but most of the boys blundered over their lessons that -afternoon, for their minds were full of what they had to tell to boys -that attended other schools, or did not go to school at all. - -The visit of Paul to the prison was made that very afternoon, and before -night nearly every family in the town had heard of how it had come to -pass, and determined that Paul Grayson was a noble fellow, no matter how -much mystery there might be about him. Benny Mallow, having learned in -advance that the visit was contemplated--for Paul could not get rid of -him after school except by telling him--Benny waited on a corner near -the jail until Paul and the teacher came out. He hid himself for a -moment or two, so that Paul would not think he had been watching him; -then he hurried around a block, intercepted the couple, and made some -excuse to stop Paul for a moment. As soon as Mr. Morton had gone ahead a -little way, Benny, with his great blue eyes wider open than ever, asked, -"How was it?" - -[Illustration: PAUL GRAYSON AND BENNY MALLOW.] - -"It was dreadful," said Paul, whose eyes were red, as if he had been -crying. - -"Then you won't ever go again, will you?" said Benny, giving his -friend's hand a sympathetic squeeze. - -"Yes, I will," exclaimed Paul, so sharply that Benny was frightened. He -looked up inquiringly, and saw Paul's eyes filled with tears. "I'll go -again, and often, now that I've been teased into doing it; but, Benny -Mallow, if you tell a single boy that I cried, I'll never speak to you -again in this world." - -"I won't--oh, I won't," said Benny, and he kept his word--for weeks. - -[TO BE CONTINUED.] - - - - -THE BOY-GENERAL. - -BY EDWARD CARY. - -CHAPTER I. - - -If any of my readers who live in the city of New York happen to be -passing the lower end of Union Square some day, they will see, standing -among the trees of the little park, a bronze statue. It is nearly -opposite the corner of Broadway and Fourteenth Street, and is turned a -little to one side, toward the noble statue of Washington on horseback, -which is in the centre of the three-cornered space between the park, -Fourteenth Street, and Union Square East. It represents a tall young -man, in the close-fitting uniform of an American General of the time of -the Revolution. With his right hand he clasps a sword against his -breast. His left hand is stretched out toward Washington; his figure is -erect, and inclined forward, as if about to spring from the prow of a -boat, which the base of the statue is made to represent. This is a -statue of the beloved and gallant Frenchman whom we commonly call -Lafayette, whom the people of the Revolutionary days delighted to name -"the young Marquis," and whose real name was Marie Jean Paul Roch Yves -Gilbert Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. The story of his whole life is one -of the most interesting and pleasing that has ever been written; but for -the present I am to give you only the story of his services to America, -and of his life during the few years in which those services were -rendered. The statue that I have spoken of was set up in honor of these -great services, in order that the young Americans who live in the full -enjoyment of the blessings of freedom and order for which he fought may -not forget him. - -Lafayette was born in the province of Auvergne, France, on the 6th of -September, 1757, shortly after the death of his father, who was an -officer in the French army, and was killed at Minden. His own family was -poor, but the death of his mother's father made him, while yet a child, -very rich. As the custom was in those days in France, he entered the -army while scarcely in his teens, and before he had left the Academy of -Versailles, where he was educated. As was also the custom, he was -married very young--while only sixteen--to a daughter of the house of -Ayen and Noailles, who herself was only thirteen; but children though -they were, they were possessed of strong natures, and their union was a -very loving and happy one. Lafayette describes himself in boyhood as -"silent because he neither thought nor heard much which seemed worth -saying," and as having "awkwardness of manner, which did not trouble him -on important occasions, but made him ill at ease among the graces of the -court or the pleasures of a Paris supper." He was an ardent lover of -freedom in the midst of an aristocratic society, and when his family -wanted to attach him to the court he managed by a witty but offensive -remark about the royal family to break up the arrangement. "Republican -stories," he says, "charmed me," and he heard of the Declaration of -American Independence with "a thrill of sympathy and joy." - -He was just nineteen when, over a dinner given by an English Duke to the -French officers of the garrison of Metz, he first learned of the -Declaration. "My heart was instantly enlisted," he wrote, "and I thought -of nothing but joining _my flag_." From that moment he regarded himself -as a soldier in the army of American freedom. He knew his family would -oppose him. "I counted, therefore, only on myself, and ventured to take -for my motto _cur non?_" (why not?). He had great trouble in getting -away. Going to Paris, he first obtained from the American agent there, -Silas Deane, a promise of a commission as Major-General; but he had to -keep everything very secret, to blind his family, his friends, the -government--to avoid French and English spies. Only his girl-wife and -two of his cousins knew what he was doing. Just as he had completed his -plans, news came of the terrible defeats which Washington had suffered -on Long Island and in the neighborhood of New York. The "arch-rebel," as -the English called General Washington, was fleeing across the New Jersey -plains, with only a handful of men, and the insurrection was believed to -be nearly over. The American agent in Paris was dismayed and cast down. -He told Lafayette that he could furnish him no vessel to go to America, -and tried to persuade him to give up his project. Thanking Mr. Deane for -his frankness, the brave young fellow answered, "Until now, sir, you -have seen only my zeal; perhaps I may now be useful. I shall buy a ship -which will carry your officers. We must show our confidence in the -cause; and it is in danger that I shall be glad to share your fortunes." -To cover his designs, he joined his uncle, the Prince of Paix, on a -visit to London, where he was much courted. "At nineteen," he wrote, "I -liked perhaps a little too well to trifle with the King I was about to -fight, to dance at the house of the English Colonial Minister, in the -company of Lord Rawdon, just arrived from New York, and to meet at the -opera the General Clinton whom I was to meet the next time at the battle -of Monmouth." Finally his arrangements were all made, and he came back -to France to join his vessel. To his dismay, he was met by an order from -the King to report, under arrest, at Marseilles. He pretended to start -for that city, but on the way, disguised as a postilion, he turned -aside, and after nearly being caught while sleeping on some straw in the -stable of a post inn, he finally boarded his ship, with Baron De Kalb -and others, and set sail for America. It was the 26th of April, 1777, -"six months, filled with labor and impatience," since he had formed his -plan. He was seven weeks on the sea. His ship was clumsy, and, armed -with "only two bad cannon and a few muskets, could not have escaped the -smallest English cruiser." Of these he encountered several, but lucky -winds bore them away from him. He slipped between the ships guarding the -coast, and landed in the night near the city of Charleston, South -Carolina. "At last," he says, "I felt American soil beneath my feet, and -my first words were a vow to conquer or perish in the cause." - -He straightway set out for Philadelphia, where Congress was in session, -and near which the army of Washington was encamped. The journey was long -and fatiguing. From Petersburg, Virginia, he wrote to his wife: "I set -out grandly in a carriage; at present we are on horseback, having broken -my carriage, according to my admirable habit; I hope to write you in a -few days that we have arrived safely on foot." The fatigue of the -journey could not repress his constant gayety. When he reached -Philadelphia, Congress was greatly bothered with foreign adventurers -more anxious for rank and pay than to fight for America. Lafayette -perceived the coolness of his reception, but far from being discouraged, -he wrote to the President of Congress, "By the sacrifices that I have -made I have a right to demand two favors: one, to serve without pay; the -other, to begin my service in the ranks." Carried away by such generous -devotion, Congress immediately gave Lafayette a commission as -Major-General, and Washington placed him on his own staff. - -[TO BE CONTINUED.] - - - - -O'ER THE HILLS O' ARGYLE. - -BY LILLIE E. BARR. - - - I said, when a laddie o' ten, as I gaed o'er the hills o' Argyle, - "The way is sae rocky and steep, I am weary this many a mile; - Just leave me, and gang on yoursel'; the road I'm no likely to miss." - Then my feyther stooped down, wi' a laugh, and gied me a tender bit - kiss. - "Why, Donald," he said, "be a man, and keep mind o' the words that I - say, - A strong, stout heart and a sturdy step gang o'er the steepest brae." - - "It, isna the steepness," I said, "but the way is sae wearifu' lang." - "Tut! tut! if your heart gies the order, your body will just hae to - gang. - Think, Donald, o' mither and hame, and dinna give up for your life; - Step out to the sang you like best--'Here's to the bonnets o' Fife!' - Sing, lad, though you sing through your tears, and keep mind o' the - words that I say, - A strong, stout heart and a sturdy step win o'er the langest way." - - Then I said to my heart, "Gie the order." Singing, I walked or I ran; - My feyther stepped, laughing, beside me, and called me "his bonnie - brave man." - And sae, ere the storm-clouds had gathered, we were safe at our ain - fireside, - And feyther sat watching the snaw-drifts, wi' me cuddled close to his - side. - "Donald," he said, "my dear laddie, no matter wherever you stray, - Keep mind--a strong heart and a sturdy step gang o'er the steepest - brae." - - Now far from the bonnie Scotch Highlands I've travelled full many a - mile, - Yet always, in trouble or sorrow, I think o' the hills o' Argyle, - Say, "Heart, gie the order for marching!" strike up the auld "Bonnets - o' Fife," - And then I set dourly and bravely my face to the mountains o' life, - For the thought o' my feyther is wi' me: and, "Donald," I hear him - say, - "Keep mind--a strong heart and a sturdy step gang o'er the steepest - brae." - - - - -THROUGH THE RAPIDS WITH INDIANS. - - - MOOSE LAKE, _August 16_. - -MY DEAR CHARLEY,--I've had at last the experience of a real Indian canoe -voyage, of which we used to dream when we read _The Young Voyageurs_ on -the sly behind our desk at school. To begin at the beginning (which -modern stories seldom do), imagine me starting from Bear Creek to -descend the river in a canoe with two "real live Indians." If you want -to know what Indians are like, just fancy two overfried sausages wrapped -in dirty brown paper, and you'll have a perfect picture of my "noble red -men," whose names sounded to me exactly like "Cock-a-doodle-doo" and -"Very-like-a-whale." But you soon get used to such things in a country -where names like Nomjamsquilligook and Kashagawigamog are quite -every-day matters. - -[Illustration: 1. Beaver-Hunting. 2. A Poacher. 3. His first Rapid. 4. -Over the Beaver Dam. 5. The Drift Pile. - -THROUGH THE RAPIDS WITH INDIANS.] - -Now, Charley, if you value my blessing and your own welfare, never get -into an Indian canoe. I ought to know something of uncomfortable -conveyances, having crossed Central Asia with camels, gone a hundred -miles into the Sahara in an Arab wagon, drifted over the Volga on a -block of ice, and shot an Icelandic torrent in a leaky boat. But all -these fall far, far short of the glorious uncomfortableness of my canoe. -Louis XI. would have given any money for such an invention when he -wanted to torture Cardinal Balue. I sat, and forthwith fell down on my -back; I knelt, and promptly fell forward on my nose. I even tried to -squat cross-legged, forgetting that Achmet Bey had spent three days in -vainly showing me how _not_ to do it when I was with him in Arabia; and -how I _did_ finally manage to stow myself I haven't found out yet. If -the Indians had scolded or laughed at my mishaps, or even noticed them -at all, it would not have been so bad, but their calm, silent, -statuesque disapproval of everything I did made me feel as small as the -first boy who breaks down at a spelling bee. - -My first night was a very queer experience. Beyond the circle of light -cast by our camp fire the great black shadow of the forest looked -blacker and vaster than ever, and in its gloomy depths no sound was -heard but the ghostly rustle of the leaves, which seemed to be -whispering to each other some horrible secret. Then up rose the cold -moon, glinting spectrally through the trees upon the swirling foam, and -giving strange and goblin shapes to the huge trunks all around. In that -dreary silence the hoarse sough of the river sounded unnaturally loud, -and the wild faces of the Indians, seen and gone again by turns as the -fire-glow waxed and waned, looked quite unearthly. But the mosquitoes -soon gave me something else to think about, I can promise you. - -For the next two days I enjoyed camp life in all its fullness--a -buffalo-robe for bedding, a jackknife for dinner service, a camp fire -for kitchen range, a freshly caught fish for breakfast, a water-fall for -shower-bath. The very sense of existence seemed a pleasure in that -glorious atmosphere, which made one feel always hungry, but never tired; -and to jump into a swollen river, clothes and all, to carry the canoe a -mile or more over broken ground, to start splitting wood at night-fall -after voyaging all day, to get out on a wet rock at midnight and begin -fishing, came quite natural. Once or twice I felt as if I must really -give vent to my superfluous vitality by shouting or singing at the top -of my voice, and was only deterred from striking up "I paddle my own -canoe" by the reflection that I hadn't paddled it a foot since we -started. - -On the second day we passed several water-falls, and it was a rare sight -to see the floating trees plunge over them. Sometimes a big trunk would -stop short on the very brink, as if shrinking back, and then it would -give a kind of leap forward, and over it would go--a regular suicide in -dumb-show. A little below one of the falls the floating timber had -drifted together into such a mass that it fairly blocked the channel, -forming a barricade several hundred feet broad, and we had to get out -and drag the canoe bodily over it as best we might. If you've ever -walked over an acre of harrows piled on an acre of trucks, you'll know -what kind of footing we had, and it's a marvel to me that I've got a leg -left to stand on. - -A little farther I espied a great shaggy beast, not unlike a bear, -coming out of the river with a big fish in his mouth. I fired at him, -but the bullet probably hit him too obliquely to pierce his thick hide. -That's _my_ theory at least; the Indians were mean enough to suggest -that I never hit him at all. - -On the third morning we came to a huge beaver dam, bigger than any I'd -seen in Canada, and as neatly put together as any dike in Holland. The -fur-coated gentlemen were hard at work when we appeared, some gnawing at -the trees, while others plastered the dam with mud, using their broad -tails for trowels. But at our coming they all went splash, splash into -the water, which was all alive for a moment with dancing ripples and -flapping tails--a regular fac-simile of that scene in _The Last of the -Mohicans_ over which we used to laugh so. - -Of course we had to make another "portage" with the canoe; and while we -were dragging it along, up jumped a barefooted boy from among the -bushes, and lent us a hand with it. A splendid young savage he was, who -would have quite delighted my old friend Tom Hughes of Rugby. Straight -as a pine, keen-eyed as an eagle, so supple and sinewy that one might -almost have rolled him up and pocketed him like a ball of twine. He told -me he was "after beaver," and had done pretty well this season, trapping -and what not. I gave him some tobacco, which seemed to please him -mightily, and he repaid me with what my New York friends would call "a -tall yarn": - -"Time when beaver hats was all the go (which don't I just wish they was -_now_!) a feller went for a swim in a river one day, leavin' his hat and -things on the bank. It happened to be pretty close to a beaver dam; and -when he cum out agin, fust thing he seed was two young beavers a-weepin' -over his hat, 'cause they knowed it for the skin o' their father." - -Toward four that afternoon we began to hear a dull booming roar far away -ahead. You should have seen the Indians' eyes flash when they heard it! -_They_ knew the sound of the rapids well enough. All at once the sloping -banks seemed to grow high and steep, and the overhanging pines to go far -away up into the air, and the channel to get dark and narrow, and the -stream to go rushing along like a mill-race. Then suddenly we swung -around a huge black rock, and were fairly in the thick of it. - -After that I have only a confused recollection of being tossed and -banged about in a whirl of boiling foam, and clinging like grim death to -the sides of the canoe, while the river itself seemed somehow to be -standing stock-still, and the great cliffs on each side to be flying -past like an express train. The whole air was filled with a hoarse -grinding roar that seemed to shake the very sky, and the spray came -lashing into my face till I was glad to shut my eyes. - -When I opened them again I almost thought I was dreaming. Instead of the -foaming river and the frowning precipices, we were floating on a broad -smooth lake, with a little toy town pasted on the green slope above us, -and half a dozen big fellows in red shirts running down to welcome us -in. - -But I must break off, for I'm so sleepy, after hauling timber all day, -that I can hardly sit upright. Remember me kindly to all your folks, and -believe me - -Yours to death (or till my next railway journey, which is much the same -nowadays), - - D. KER. - - - - -NEW GAMES FOR WINTER EVENINGS. - -BY G. B. BARTLETT. - - -TIP. - -Under this odd title a new and excellent game is described which is very -popular in Germany, and will be equally so in America when it becomes -known. - -When first read it may not seem to amount to much, but it needs only to -be tried to become a favorite with old and young. - -Any number can play, as no skill nor practice is required, and it is -adapted as well to the parlor as to the picnic. The writer has joined in -it on two successive days, once in a pleasant drawing-room, with a large -round table in the centre, by the cheery light of a flashing wood fire, -and again under the radiant maples by the side of a beautiful lake. On -the latter occasion a large shawl was spread on the ground, and a merry -group of bright-eyed children, with their parents and older friends, sat -around on the grass. - -One of the mammas poured out from a paper package of assorted candy and -small toys about as many pieces as the number of players, making the -tempting heap, as nearly as possible, in the middle of the shawl within -easy reach of all. After one of the children had been blindfolded, one -of the ladies touched an article in the pile in the shawl, in order to -point it out plainly to all excepting the one whose eyes were closed. -The player then opened her eyes, and was allowed to select one at a -time, and keep for her own all she could obtain without taking the -"tip," or the piece that had been touched. - -Often a great many pieces can be taken, and in some cases the "tip" is -the last one to be pitched upon; but sometimes an unlucky player selects -the "tip" first, in which case she gains nothing, for the moment she -takes the "tip" she must give it up, and the turn passes to the next -player on her right. - -Of course all the children scream when the tip is touched, and the -unlucky ones are laughed at a little, but are soon comforted by presents -of candy from the stores of the more fortunate. - -All who do not believe in the interest of the game are cordially advised -to secure a group of children and a paper of candy, or of little -presents nicely wrapped in papers, and to try it for themselves. - - -INITIALS. - -This new and interesting game can be played in several ways, and can be -used also in connection with other old games, to which it lends a new -charm. Any number of players can join, each one of whom tells the -initials of his or her name, which the others can write on a slip of -paper if they do not prefer trusting to memory. Each player invents an -initial sentence, using the letters of one of the names. This sentence -may be humorous or sensible, complimentary or the reverse, and can -sometimes be made to fit exceedingly well. As specimens, a few impromptu -sentences are given on the actual names of some of the original players: -Easter Eggs, Exquisite Elegance, Fairy Prince, Fried Pork, Willful -Negligence, What Nonsense, Serene Truth Triumphs, Saucy Tell-Tale, -Goodness Brings Blessings. When all have prepared one or more sentences, -the leader begins by addressing any person he pleases with a remark -formed upon his initials, and each of the other players follows his -example, also using the same letters. This attack is kept up -indiscriminately on the person addressed by the leader, until he can -answer the person who last addressed him before another of the players -can say another sentence in the letters of his name, in which case the -others all turn their remarks on the one who has been thus caught. The -game then goes merrily on, as shouts of laughter always follow the quick -conceits which are sure to be inspired by the excitement of the game. As -a specimen of the way in which it can be applied to an old game, "Twirl -the Platter" has a new interest when the players are called out by -initial sentences, as the effort to discover one's own name in some -obscure remark made by the twirler, in order to catch the platter before -it ceases to spin, keeps every player on the alert. - - - - -OUT OF THE WOODS. - -BY A. TEMPLE BELLEW. - - -In that rocky part of New York State called Sullivan County lived a poor -widow and her little daughter. - -The cold weather was approaching--the trees showed that; the maples were -in flames, and the surrounding woods had such varied leafage that at a -distance they looked like the border of an Indian shawl. Yes, cold -weather was approaching, and the widow said one morning, as she came up -from the cellar, "Well, Nannie, we have potatoes enough to last all -winter, so we sha'n't starve; but what ever we shall have to wear I -don't know. I can't _buy_ any clothes, that is certain." - -"We'll wear our old ones," said Nannie. - -"They ain't fit for carpet-rags, child. We must stay in the house all -winter, I guess, unless we want to freeze to death." - -Nannie grew grave, and her brown eyes were full of trouble, as she -listened. She had not thought of clothes all summer; she had trotted -about in her little calico dress as happy as a sparrow; and now she felt -very much like that same sparrow when he sees the first snow-flakes come -drifting through the air. - -What could she do to help her mother? If it were something to eat, it -would not be so difficult; she could pick up nuts--lots of them; but -something to _wear_: that was a great deal harder. So she sat on the -door-step puzzling her little brains, until her eyes happened to fall -upon a necklace she had that morning made of scarlet mountain-ash -berries, and a brilliant idea occurred to her: she would make a dress of -leaves--of bright red leaves. - -"I can make it just as easy," she said to herself; "I won't say a word -to mother till it's all done. Won't she be glad when she sees me dressed -up so nice? And then I'll tell her I can make _lots_ of things just like -it." - -She had a spool of thread in her pocket, and a needle carefully stuck in -her frock, so she had only to run off to the woods, without bothering -any one. - -Once there Nannie had no trouble in finding leaves enough, bright red -ones, too--so red that they made her blink when she held them out in the -sunlight. She filled her apron with those scattered on the ground, and -picked a huge bunch of long rush-like grasses that grew in a small -clearing; then seated herself on a low stone, ready for work, surrounded -by scarlet and gold like a little empress. - -The tiny fingers proved very deft, and the tiny brain very ingenious. -Leaf overlapping leaf, like the scales of a fish, they were sewn on the -grass stems, until a garment was shaped resembling what is fashionably -called a princesse dress. The sleeves Nannie could not manage, so -instead she put shoulder-straps with epaulets of leaves. She could -hardly keep from dancing, she felt so delighted at the success of her -plan. On went the gay suit of armor gleefully, but slowly, lest it -should be harmed. - -"Don't I look pretty?" sighed Nannie, in perfect content, as she glanced -down at her leafy skirt; "but I can't wear that old sun-bonnet. I must -make a new hat too." - -Again the thread and needle, grass and leaves, were called into service. -This time a queer comical cap, like Robinson Crusoe's, placed jauntily -on her head, turned her into a wood-sprite indeed. - -She primly picked her way through the wood, avoiding every brier as if -it were poison-ivy, until she reached the opening; here she stood -suddenly still, rooted to the spot by wonder. A man, a stranger, was -there, sitting on a funny crooked kind of bench, doing something to a -big board fastened to three long sticks in front of him. He seemed -nearly as wonder-struck as Nannie for a moment; then, as she was about -to move, he called out, "Who in the world are you, little fairy, and who -dressed you up like that?" - -He looked so pleasant that Nannie gave him a laugh for his smile, and -answered promptly, "I did it my own self; ain't it pretty?" - -"Yes, indeed; and what made you think of such a pretty dress?" - -Then Nannie's little tongue being loosened, she told him all about -it--how poor they were that year, and how badly her mother felt; in -fact, chattered over all her small history, some parts of which made the -stranger's blue eyes misty, while others made him smile, whereat Nannie -had always to laugh in return--she very seldom smiled. - -"Now," said the stranger, "do you think you could stand still for a -short time?" - -Nannie at once became motionless, and the stranger began to work away at -the big board before him with some very thin sticks. Once in a while he -would say, "There, you may move now; sit down on that stone and rest." -Then Nannie would sit down until he asked if she felt like standing -again, when she would spring to her feet and take her former position. -She was beginning to feel very tired--so tired that her little tongue -was quiet--when he said, "That will do, little one; come and look at -this." - -And she came beside him. Why, there she was on the board, scarlet dress -and all; her black curls ruffling about her head, her big brown eyes -wide open, and her cheeks as pink as king apples. - -"Why, that's me!" she cried. - -"Of course it is," laughed the stranger. - -"Why, ain't I pretty!--only I wish I had my shoes on. I've got a pair in -the house, but I only wear 'em in winter." - -"It looks prettier in the picture without shoes," said the artist. - -Then he told her that she had been a very good little girl; and taking a -piece of something like green paper from his pocket, put it in her hand, -saying, - -"Give this to your mother, and tell her to buy you a nice warm dress -with it. I am coming to see you to-morrow; and now good-by, little -maid." - -Then he stooped down and kissed her, and she ran away up the hill-side, -covered with red leaves, and holding a green leaf in her hand--a -wonderful green leaf, as she afterward discovered. - -She rushed into the cottage like a small cannon-ball, and startled her -mother not a little, appearing in such strange attire, and too -breathless to tell her story except in excited snatches that puzzled -more than they explained, and for a short time the widow thought that a -three-legged man had stolen Nannie's clothes, and was coming to-morrow -to steal hers; but as soon as Nannie regained breath she made her -understand the real state of the case. - -"Wonder what he is?" said the mother, puzzled. "Three sticks--a big -board." - -After long cogitation she decided that he must be "one of them -archertics from New York as took your photergraph." - -"He's real kind, anyway," she added. "Why, child, he's give you _ten -dollars_!" - -"Ten dollars!" gasped Nannie, with an overwhelming sense of wealth. - -Next morning the stranger appeared in good season, and won the widow's -heart by his courtesy. - -"Jest as polite as if I was the minister's wife," she afterward told -Nannie. - -He explained the mystery of the big board and three sticks, and showed -how they were used, getting Nannie to stand for him again in her dress -of leaves. - -Nannie opened her eyes when he told her that her picture was going to -New York to hang in "a great big room called the Academy." "At least I -_hope_ so," he added, laughing. - -He came many following mornings, always to paint Nannie, getting more -interested every time in the simple-hearted widow and her bright little -child, while they in turn delighted in his visits, his stories, and his -painting. - -At last the day came when he had to go back to the city. Nannie cried -her eyes as red as the maple leaves, and they all felt that "good-by" -was a very miserable word. - -So the stranger went away, and the widow tried to console herself and -Nannie by making a journey to the nearest town, and laying out the -wonderful ten dollars in warm clothing for Nannie; but though Nannie got -very busy and happy over her shopping, she did not forget her stranger -friend, and felt even bright red flannel a very poor substitute for kind -blue eyes. - -Nannie spent the long white months very merrily, romping by day and -sleeping by night, only one thing happening to vary the quiet life: at -Christmas came a letter and a box of goodies from the stranger, then all -went on as before. - -By-and-by winter turned to spring in town and country, the spring -fashions of one doing duty for the spring leaves of the other; and among -the pleasantest of spring fashions in New York is--the Exhibition of -that "great big room called the Academy," about which the stranger had -told Nannie so much. And this fair April upon its walls hung the picture -of a bright-faced little girl, clad and capped with scarlet leaves, -coming out of the dim gray woods. - -Of all the many visitors there not one passed it by unnoticed; young -ladies all beauty and old ladies all back-bone and eyeglasses, artists -gray-headed and young fellows just from Paris, one and all, and many -more, stopped to admire the brown-eyed child so quaintly garmented. The -morning and the evening papers, too, did not overlook it, but patted the -young artist kindly with their pens. Rich people talked about it, and -the richest bought it for the sake of saying that "the gem of the -Exhibition" was in his gallery. - -A few days after this a letter, registered and stamped carefully enough -to carry it to China, had that been its destination, came to Nannie and -her mother--a letter from the stranger, telling all about it, and -sending to his "little good genius" a check for _fifty dollars_. - -What other wonderful things were the result of that queer dress of -leaves may perhaps be told some day. - - - - -[Illustration] - -THE LITTLE TEASE. - - - "Now div me my dolly." If baby were able - To talk in plain fashion, he'd certainly say, - "I think you are awfully mean, sister Mabel, - To trouble and tease me and vex me this way." - - But baby can only let grieving lips quiver, - And lift little hand in an angry protest: - Come, sister, from trouble the wee one deliver, - 'Tis naughty to pain him so, even in jest. - - - - -[Illustration: LITTLE SHOPPERS--"A VERY DOOD SMOOFING-IRON."] - - - - -[Illustration: OUR POST-OFFICE BOX.] - - - NEW YORK CITY. - - I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much, and can hardly wait from one number - to another, I am so impatient to get it. All the stories are very - interesting, and the pictures are beautiful. But I don't like the - advertisements after the Post-office Box, because they keep out - something I would like to read. I like "Old Times in the Colonies" - very much. - - CARRIE M. - -Our correspondent will see that her wishes have been anticipated. -Henceforth all advertisements for HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE will be printed -on a neat cover, as in the present number, and will no longer appear in -the body of the paper. This cover will also serve to keep the paper -clean, and the bound numbers at the end of the year will form a perfect -book. - - * * * * * - - EAST HAMPTON, CONNECTICUT. - - My sister takes YOUNG PEOPLE, and I like it very much. - - Eight of us girls have a society, which we call the Y. L. F. S. We - have singing, readings, and charades, and have lots of fun. We - meet around at the members' houses once in two weeks, on Monday - evenings. Next time we meet we are all going to make speeches on - politics. I am fifteen years old. - - VIOLET S. - -We should like very much to have a fuller report of the doings of this -society. Now that the long winter evenings are approaching, societies of -this description bring about much pleasant recreation, and if any -systematic course of good reading is followed, enlivened by music, -recitation, or discussion of any given topic, the benefit to the members -becomes of an importance beyond mere social enjoyment. - - * * * * * - - NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. - - I have taken YOUNG PEOPLE since No. 36; papa subscribed for me - then. I like "The Moral Pirates" and "Old Times in the Colonies" - best of all, and I am very fond of reading the letters of the - little boys and girls in the Post-office Box. - - I go to a large private school one block from my house. I speak - French and English, and I am learning to play the piano. I have a - splendid black cat, named Beauty. - - VIRGINIA S. - - * * * * * - - MAYERSVILLE, MISSISSIPPI. - - I have taken YOUNG PEOPLE from the first number, and am perfectly - delighted with it. My subscription will soon be out, but I am going - to renew it. - - We have a very nice time here playing on the riverbank in the - sand. There is some beautiful grass growing on the sand-bar in the - river opposite our town. - - DELLA R. S. - - * * * * * - - WYOMING, ILLINOIS. - - I am eleven years old. I have no pets, except a canary named - Freddie, but I have a play house, and I think it is a very nice - one. I have four nice dolls, and a doll carriage, and in the play - house I have a bureau, table, chair, cupboard, blackboard, and a - very nice set of dishes. The house is carpeted, and the rain does - not get into it. I have a girl's velocipede, and I ride on it to - school. I have some plants of my own. - - HATTIE G. S. - - * * * * * - - CANTON, NEW YORK. - - I have a black dog named Jet. He will sit up, sing, speak, shake - hands, stand up and beg, and lie down when I tell him. I have an - aquarium, and I tried to get some sticklebacks, but they all had - five spines. Are they the kind that make nests? - - I have two turtles, and would like to know how to keep them - through the winter. - - I am making a squirrel cage, and am very anxious to catch a gray - squirrel. And I have a collection of birds' eggs. I get nests and - all. I am twelve years old. - - MARK M. - -All kinds of sticklebacks, so far as known, build nests. Set your -turtles at liberty in the yard before the ground freezes, and they will -take care of themselves until spring. Or if you are afraid of losing -them, give them a tub of earth to bury themselves in during their long -nap. - - * * * * * - - JAMAICA PLAINS, MASSACHUSETTS. - - Here are some directions for making a pretty decoration which some - reader of YOUNG PEOPLE may like to try. Take a carrot, the largest - and smoothest you can find, and cut off the pointed lower end. Then - make a cup of the large upper part by carefully hollowing it out, - leaving the bottom and sides a quarter of an inch thick. Bore some - holes in the sides near the top. Three will do. Through these pass - strings by which to suspend the cup. When it is finished fill it - with water, and hang it in a sunny window, and it will soon send - out leaves from the bottom, and become a very pretty hanging - basket. Never allow all the water to evaporate, but put in a little - fresh every day. If the carrot is large enough to allow the sides - and bottom to be left thicker, the green leaves will last longer - and be more abundant. - - DANIEL D. L. - - * * * * * - - NEW YORK CITY. - - I thought perhaps you would like to hear of a plan we have made. It - is this: We are going to have a club, each member of which takes - YOUNG PEOPLE, and every Friday we meet to read the stories and work - out the puzzles. I wish other children would try this plan, and - write to the Post-office Box how they succeed. - - N. D. - - * * * * * - - WATERTOWN, NEW YORK. - - My papa has taken YOUNG PEOPLE for me since the first number. I - read it all through. I think "Mirthful Magic" is very funny. - - I have two pet bantam chickens, and they are very tame. I hold - them as I would a kitten.

PECK, - P. O. Box 296, Colorado Springs, Colorado. - - * * * * * - -MABEL C.--We suggest "Agate Club" as a pretty name for your society. In -the language of gems agate signifies prosperity. Take each letter of the -word as the initial of another gem, and let the sentiments of these gems -be the mottoes of your club. You can give the name this interpretation: -agate, prosperity; garnet, constancy; amethyst, love and truth; topaz, -friendship; emerald, faith. If you wish for a club pin, you can have an -agate in a simple setting, which would be a very pretty ornament, and -not expensive. - - * * * * * - - BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. - - I would like to know if the story about Captain Cook's goat is - true. - - WILLIE W. - -We only know of one goat connected with Captain Cook. This travelled -beast twice circumnavigated the globe--first in the ship _Dolphin_, with -the early discoverer Captain Wallis: and secondly in the ship -_Endeavor_, with Captain Cook. After the goat arrived in England for the -second time, the Lords of the Admiralty granted it the privilege of a -residence in Greenwich Hospital, and a silver collar was put around its -neck, inscribed with a Latin couplet composed by Dr. Johnson. But the -goat, like many other old sailors, did not apparently thrive on dry -land, for it died in April, 1772, as it was about to be given to the old -seamen at Greenwich for a pet, and less than a year after its return -from the long voyage with Captain Cook. - - * * * * * - -C.

This worm, which is a soft, white creature, lives under -water in a movable house which it makes for itself out of bits of stone, -pieces of shell, and grains of sand. It feeds on minute particles of -water refuse. When its life as a worm is ended it forms a chrysalis, -from which issues a fly with hairy wings called the caddis-fly, of which -there are many species. The caddis-worm is much used as bait by -fishermen. - - * * * * * - -The following communication is longer than those we can, as a rule, -admit to the Post-office Box, but as we are sure it will be interesting -to other little mothers of doll families, we make an exception in its -favor: - - My family of dolls are unfortunately all orphans. I had the parents - of the four girls named French, but my brother Jack sat on the head - of the papa, and hopelessly crushed it. The mamma I left too long - in a sun bath, and her beautiful wax complexion melted all away. - - Dora French is the oldest girl, and has auburn hair like the - Empress Eugenie. Her hair comes off sometimes, but I use a - sticking stuff for tonic, and fasten it on just as the ladies do - their puffs. Dora is very graceful, and turns her head - beautifully. She wears blue, to suit her hair. - - Sue French is a brunette with handsome black eyes, long black - hair, and bangs. She is very beautiful. My uncle sent her to me as - soon as she arrived from France. She is named for my aunty Sue. - - Lizzie French, the third girl, came over in the same steamer with - Sue. She is the sweetest blonde, and is called for my own mamma. - Both Sue and Lizzie are very fond of dress. - - Louise French is the intelligent one of the family. She talks - beautifully, and is always calling for mamma and papa; but, poor - thing, they never answer her. Perhaps if they were alive, and had - the strings in their sides pulled as hard as I pull those of poor - Louise, they would answer lively enough. Louise has lovely teeth, - but by an accident one was knocked out. - - The baby is named Minnie. She is an American, and the pet of all - the dolls. A lady found her in a doll's orphan asylum, or rather a - big store. She is just too lovely for anything, and has lots of - long clothes, like a real baby. She has a cradle with sheets, - blankets, pillows, and quilts; a pretty baby carriage; a baby - basket, lined with blue and trimmed with lace, which holds her - brush, comb, sponge, soap, towels, nursing bottle, and rattle. She - has caps, cloaks, and an afghan for her carriage. - - I have almost forgotten dear Gretchen. She is not the little Dutch - Gretchen who sat in the kitchen eating her cold sour-krout, but is - a cousin to the Misses French. Her trousseau came in the box with - her; and such queer satin and white Swiss dresses, funny little - aprons, quaint slippers, fine stockings, and dear little hats you - never saw, unless you have been in Switzerland. Her hair is light, - and braided in two long plaits. I tell you she is a beauty; and - although she is the youngest of all the dolls, except the baby, - she is as tall as any of them. - - Then there is Ho Shen Chee, the Chinaman. He is the only boy in - the whole family. Mamma picked him up at the Centennial. He looked - so forlorn and lonesome that mamma felt sorry for him, and brought - him home. We do everything to make him happy, but he still has - that same sad look, and his head wobbles awfully. His clothes are - a great trouble to us, for we can never make any like those he had - on when he came. - - The French girls have everything elegant. Their Saratoga trunk is - filled with lovely dresses, shoes, bonnets, fans, stockings, - gloves, jewelry, parasols, hats, dressing-cases and travelling - bags, writing-paper and desk, watches, perfumery bottles, books, - and everything that young ladies need. Their furniture is very - handsome, too. Their bedstead was made to order, and has a - mattress, pillows, shams, and everything. They have a large - bureau, a lounge, tables, chairs, and a cabinet filled with - bric-à-brac. They have a small work-basket, with little scissors - that open and shut, thimble, needles, and all other work-box - necessities. - - Olive, or Aunt Olive, as the dollies call her, is the very - smallest, but the beauty of the family, and the richest. She lives - in a large house with her adopted daughter Pussy, and a great many - servants. Her house has five rooms--parlor, dining-room, bedroom, - kitchen, and bath-room, where real water runs from a faucet. All - these rooms are furnished too lovely for anything. The windows - have real glass and curtains; the doors have curtains too. We have - a large barn (when I say _we_, I mean my brother Jack and myself, - for he loves dolls as well as I do), which has horses and a - dog-cart, in which Olive rides. We have a Park phaeton too. We - build our farm-yard in one corner of the room, and our fort in - another; these are the summer resorts. We move the things on - Jack's big dray and cart. We play the figures in the carpet are - lakes, rivers, and ponds. The dolls ride on these in our boats, - which go on wheels. Away off in another part of the room we put up - the tents. We build the railroad, and the dollies go out to the - camp. When we want to take them to amusement, we build our - theatre, which plays _Cinderella_. When they get tired of that we - take them to the dog show, which is Jack's collection of beautiful - china dogs. We have a race track, where the dolls go to the races - on the elevated railroad which we set up. When they get hungry we - put the cooking stove on the fender, with the pipe up the chimney, - and make a fire, and really cook. Of course we do the eating, - using our pretty blue and gilt dishes. - - We only know one other little girl in New York, and she does not - care to play with dolls; so Jack and I get in a room all by - ourselves, and put up all these things, and I tell you we have a - splendid time. When we get tired we put the dollies to bed, and - get out their wash-tubs, boards, and irons, which we heat on the - little stove, and wash and iron their little clothes. - - Next to reading HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, this is the best fun we - have. - - BESSY GUYTON. - - * * * * * - -Favors are acknowledged from Percy Schuchardt, L.

From Singapore they sail through the Malayan Archipelago to -Batavia, in doing which they cross the equator. From Batavia they take -long excursions into the interior of the island of Java, and here the -reader has again to leave them for a time while they make preparations -for further explorations of the wonderful lands of the Far East. - -[1] _The Boy Travellers in the Far East_. Part Second: Adventures of two -Youths in a Journey to Siam and Java, with Descriptions of Cochin China, -Cambodia, Sumatra, and the Malay Archipelago. By THOMAS W. KNOX. -Illustrated. 8vo, pp. 446. New York: Harper & Brothers. - -The book is filled with tales of adventure by land and sea with pirates -and wild animals, curious bits of history, accurate descriptions of -strange people and queer customs, animals, birds, and plants. In it the -author has so artfully blended instruction with amusement that the young -reader is taught in spite of himself, and finds the driest facts -interesting when presented in this charming form. The letter-press is -supplemented by copious illustrations that appear upon nearly every -page. The binding is very handsome, and the book bids fair to prove one -of the notable attractions of this year's holiday season. - - * * * * * - -Most books of foreign travel are written with the view of cramming the -minds of their readers with the greatest possible amount of information, -and the result is apt to be a fit of mental indigestion from which the -victim does not readily recover. In _Harry Ascott Abroad_,[2] however, -the author has carefully avoided the text-book plan, and has confined -himself to the simple relation of an American boy's every-day experience -during a year's residence in Germany, and while travelling in -Switzerland and France. The story is told in the boy's own language, and -is made up of just such facts as will interest other boys, and at the -same time teach them what to expect, and what mistakes to guard against, -if they happen to find themselves in a position similar to that of Harry -Ascott. - -[2] _Harry Ascott Abroad_.
