j night they hail tlie same luck; and Water- 
ton now undertook to bait the barb himself, 
! saying he would forgive him if got off with 
that. 
At daylight next morning he knew by the 
whooping of the Indians that John Cayman 
was caught. He leaped out of his hammock 
and was on the ground in a few moments, 
and sure enough there was a monstrous 
crocodile hanging at the hook in the river; 
whereupon he seized a great hand spike, and 
called upon the Indians to follow him into 
the water, meaning to drag the great brute 
ashore. But they all point-blank refused, 
and squatted down on their hams, in persis¬ 
tent indolence. But they had got hold of 
the wrong man to trifle with. He threaten¬ 
ed anti bullied them until they were scared 
and ready to do what lie wished. Especial¬ 
ly after they had seen him slick-lick a negro 
who ran away rather than lace the crocodile. 
So, to set them an example of bravery, he 
took up his pike once more, and waded into 
the river. When he got near the cayman he 
saw that he trembled all over, and there was 
no fear of him. So lie ordered the Indians to 
lower the animal into the water by loosening 
I lie rope, and in anot her moment he vaulted 
on to his back, and pulling his forefeet over 
his neck, he called them to haul in shore. 
This they did with a good deal of hesitation 
and fright, although Waterton rode in tri¬ 
umph upon the quaking brute. They pulled 
him ashore at last, and were for immediately 
braining him. But this was just what he 
didn't want them to do. So he forbade them, 
and, sharpening his knife, cut his throat and 
bled him to death. 
You may be sure there was a great hub¬ 
bub ashore when Waterton landed on his 
cayman. The Indians set up an admiration 
yell — the darkies “ yah, valied!”— and 
Waterton gave them a feast. As soon as I 
the cayman was dead, he began to dissect it, 
and finished his work, with the help of his 
Indians, during the day. Ilis preparations 
amused them very much. They thought he 
was a great medicine man ; and so he was. 
I saw the cayman in Walton Hall, as large 
as life, years afterward. Waterton had a 
magnificent museum there. 
His park was walled all round for three 
miles, and in it he preserved all kinds of 
birds and four-footed animals, and he used to 
climb trees and watch their habits. When 
1 was last there a hen partridge with her 
brood passed close to my feet. The house,

COME stand by my knee, little children, 
Too weary for laughter or song, 
The sports of the day are all over, 
And evening la creeping along, 
The snow-tlelils are white In the moonlight, 
The winds of the winter are chill, 
Bnt under the sheltering roof-tree 
The fire Bhlneth ruddy and still. 
You sit by the tire, little children, 
Your chocks are ruddy nnd warm ; 
But out in the cold of the winter 
Is many a shivering form. 
There arc mother* that wander for shelter. 
And babes t hi, are pining for bread; 
O. thank the dear Lord, little children, 
From whose tender hand you are fed. 
Come look In my eyes, little children, 
And tell me, through all the long day 
Have you thought of the Father above us, 
Who guarded from evil your way ? 
lie heareth the ery of the sparrow, 
And caret!) for great and for small; 
In life and in death, tittle children, 
His love Is tlie truest of all. 
Now go to your rest, little children, 
And over your innocent sleep, 
Unseen by your vision, the angels 
Their watch through the darkness shall keep, 
Then pray that the Shepherd, who guidelli 
The lambs that He lovCth so well, 
May lead you-, In life’s rosy morning, 
Beside the still waters to dwell.

A great many ltoys complain that there 
tire no places. Perhaps it is hard to get just 
such ns you like. Hut when you get a place 
—and there are plnccs—this big country, 
we tire sure, lias need of every good boy and 
girl, and man and woman In it—when you 
get a place, we say, make yourself useful in 
it; make yourself necessary to employers; 
make yourself so necessary, by your fidelity 
and good behavior, that they cannot do 
without you. Be M illing to take a low’ price 
at first, no matter what the work is if it be 
honest, work. Do it well; do it the very 
best yon can. Begin at tlie very lowest 
round of the ladder, and climb up. The 
great want anywhere is faithful, capable 
workers. They are never a drug in the 
market. Make yourself one of these, and 
there will always be a place for you, and a 
good one, too.

Tina is a great amusement to the smaller 
chiUlren ol the family, and may be made a 
source of instruction to them. Take the 
tea tray and divide it into six parts, more or 
less, with a piece ol chalk. Then number 
the parts 5, 10,15, 20, 25, ;.!0. Then one of 
the family group rolls a marble quickly 
round the tray. If it stops at the division 
marked 5, we set down five to the credit of 
the person rolling. So of I he other numbers. 
If it stops on a line we count it 0. After 
each member of tlie party lias rolled five 
times, the amounts are added together, and 
l lie one who lias the highest number has the 
game, if each member of the party adds 
up his or her own score it may be made 
quite an exercise in arithmetic.
