The Invention of the WnEELBARROW : Says a 

 writer in the July Scribner: It takes a great man to 

 do a little tiling, sometimes. 



Who do vuu think invented that vei-y simple thing 

 called a wheelbarrow ; Why, nc. less a man than 

 Leonanlo da \'inei. 



And who was he! 



He was a niusieian, poet, painter, architect, sculptor, 

 physiologist, eugiueer, natui-al lii.storian,hotaiiist and 

 inveiitiu-, all in one. He wasn't a " .Jack of all trades 

 and master of none," either. He was a real master 

 of many arts, and a practical worker besides. 



When did he live i 



Somewhere about the time that Columbus discov- 

 ered America. 



And where was he born ; 



In the beautiful city of Florence, in Italy. 



Perhaps some of you may feel better acquainted 

 with liini when I tell you that it was Leonarno da 

 Vinci who ipainted one of the greatest pietui-es iu the 

 world—'- The Last Supper,'' a picture that has bceu 

 copied many times, and engraved in several styles, so 

 that almost every one has an idea of the arrangement 

 and position at the table of the figures of our Lord 

 and His disciples, though I am fold that without see- 

 ing the painting itself, no one can form a notion of 

 how grand and beautiful it is. 



And only tliink of tlie thousands of poor, hard- 

 working Americans who really own, in their wheel- 

 barrow, an original " work" of Leonardo da Vinci. 



Long Words : . " Rob,'' said Tom, " which is the 

 most dangerous word to pronounce in the English 

 language ?" 



" Don't know said Rob, "unless it is a swearing 

 word." 



'■ Pooh !" said Tom, '• its .>!/»o/iWcrf, because you are 

 sure to get a tumble between the first and last let- 

 ter.'' 



" Ha ! ha 1" said Rob. " Now I've one for you. I 

 found it one day in the paper. Which is the longest 

 word in the English language ?'' 



•• Valetudinarianism," said Tom, promptly. 



" Xo, sir ; it's smiles, because there's a whole mile 

 between the first and last letter." 



" Ho ! ho !" said Tom, " that's nothing. I know a 

 word that has over three miles between its beginning 

 and ending." 



" What is that *" asked Rob, faintly. 



'■ Bvleiti/nered," said Tom. — S7. ykhohm. 



Lending a Pie: "Mother," cried Johnny, 

 " haven't you a pie you would like to lend to the 

 Lord;" 



" Why, .Johnny, what do you mean ;'' she asked, 

 for she thouglit at first it was a Joke. 



" Don't y(m remember," he said, " that the Bible 

 savs. • He that giveth f o the prior Icndeth to the Lord '.' 

 I don't believe old Betsy has had a pie for a long 

 tiine, and I thought perhaps you would like to have 

 me to take one over to her ; then you would be lend- 

 ing to the Lord, you know."' 



One of mother's best pies went to old Betsy ; only 

 she was sorrv she had not thought of sending her one 

 before. But' if she had, she would have lost Johnny's 

 way of " putting it." 



HiBEKNiAX Wit and Gallantry: A sudden 

 Sfust of winil took a paraMil from flie liaii 1 of a lady, 

 and a lively Irishman, dropping his I. o I uf bricks, 

 caught it. 



••Faith ma'am," said he, "if you were as strong as 

 you are handsome, it would not have got away from

A Pi(i-.TTY Faik Story : One of the Paris alma- 

 nacs has this pretty story, which is referred to La- 

 boulaye : '• A lazy girl, who liked to live iu comfort 

 and do nothing, asked her fairy godmother to give 

 her a good genius to d<i everythiim' for her. On the 

 instant the fairy called ten dwarls, who dressed and 

 washed the little girl and comljed her hair, and fed 

 her, and so on. All was done so nicely that she was 

 happy, except for the thought that they would go 

 away. 'To prevent that,' said the godmother, ' I 

 willplace them permanently iu your ten pretty little 

 lingers. Autl they are there yet." 



"Isii der some leddcr here for me?" inquired a 

 Gerniau at the general delivery window of the post- 

 offlce. "None7" w-as the reply. "Vhell, dot ish 

 queer," he continued, " my neighbor gets sometimes 

 dree ledders in one day, uiid I get none. I bays more 

 daxes as he does, und I haf never got oue ledder 

 yet." 



He that considers how little he dwells upon the con- 

 dition of others will learn how little the attentions of 

 others is attracted by himself. The utmost that we 

 can reasonably hope or fear is to fill a vacant hour 

 with prattle and be forgotten.
