hungry eyes and poorly-clad forms are a 
continual reminder that fortune is not 
equally kind to all. If rag picking fail 
them,—if the business be overdone, and the 
many cannot find enough compensation in 
it to keep starvation from their miserable 
homes—what will the end be? You who 
have comforts all about you, who never 
know what it is to be hungry and cold when 
you have not the means to procure food and 
warmth, think sometimes of the poor rag 
picker, and be grateful for so many bless¬ 
ings. 
EARLY LOVE 
When years have rolled their lengths along, 
With mingled Joy and pain. 
Anil sunbeams leave onr horison, 
And falls the gentle rain ; 
When clouds obscure our skies, once blue, 
And care and sorrow blend. 
And fate has proved to us so false, 
So changeable a friend— 
We love to wander back In life, 
O'er memory's sunny plain, 
And live our happy childhood o'er, 
Our early love* again. 
And from communion sweet we find 
New strength to grapple with 
The crosses and the burdens which 
Our daily lives must give, 
And Hope points us to look abovo 
This world of care and strife. 
To that ble*t home In Heaven abovo, 
WJiore there's immortal life 
Where disappointments cannot come, 
Nor pare, nor grief, nor pain, 
Where wo will meet in endless bliss 
Our early loves again.

PALMER’S EMERY GRINDER 
A WORD TO BOYS 
My young friend, did you ever know—can 
you call to mind a single case of—a person 
who, having his own way to make in the 
world, spent his time in the street, in billiard 
saloons, around hotels, or in any form of dis¬ 
sipation or idleness, to succeed in an eminent 
degree in any enterprise? Look over your 
list of friends and acquaintances and note 
their course. Do you not find upon exami¬ 
nation that those who to-day arc men of in¬ 
fluence and honor, were the youths who 
made the most, valuable time, turning it to 
good account? and, on the other hand, do 
you not find those who stood at the corners 
with a cigar or pipe in their mouths, went 
from bad to worse, from worse to ruin? 
Sadly must the answer be made—oh, that it 
were not. so—they have failed. Will you 
not profit by the experience of others? Go 
not that way. Never be idle. Every mo¬ 
ment of your time is a golden one, use it as 
such; improve the mind; fix your eyes on 
some noble object; be men. The call is for 
men; will you not be one of that number 
who can say—“ 1 am a man ?”

MELODEONS 
The following beautiful allegory is trans¬ 
lated from 1 lie German :—Suphronius, a wise 
teacher, would not suffer even his grown-up 
sons and daughters^to associate with those 
whose conduct was not pure and upright. 
“ Dear father,” said the gentle Eulalia to 
him one day, when he forbade her, in com¬ 
pany with her brother, to visit, the volatile 
liiieinda—” dear father, you must think us 
very childish, if you imagine that we should 
be exposed to danger by it.” 
Tin* father took in silence a dead coal from 
the hearth, and reached it to his daughter. 
“ It will not burn you, my child; take it,” 
Eulalia did so, and behold her beautiful 
white hand was soiled and blackened, and, 
as it chanced, her white dress also. 
“We cannot he too careful in holding 
coals,” said Eulalia, in vexation. 
“ Yes, truly,” said the father. “ You see, 
my child, that coals, even if they do not 
burn, blacken; so it is with the company of 
the vicious.”

The rag pickers are very numerous. They 
are seen at all hours of the day in some lo¬ 
calities, but follow their calling most eagerly 
in the early morning, and thence on until 
noon. The forenoon yields them their 
largest returns. When Bridget, the cham¬ 
bermaid, lias performed her morning duties, 
—swept the floors carefully, rekindled tiic 
fires, &c.,—she carries the “litter” to the 
asli barrel, and (lie barrel is placed upon the 
curbstone to wait lbr the scavenger’s coin¬ 
ing,—the scavenger, whose business it is to 
collect all such matter from the street. Very 
likely there are bits of cloth in the “ litter,” 
pieces of paper, and some lialf-btirued coals. 
By-aud-by along comes the rag picker,— 
may be Lhe old man you see in the picture; 
possibly a small boy, ragged and hungry- 
looking, as though out without his break¬ 
fast; more likely a bent and witcli-like old 
woman, with long bony Lingers, who sets 
you to wondering if she was ever a girl, 
little, and winning, and happy. Man or 
woman, boy or girl, the rag picker’s “ outfit ” 
is much the same. An old bag slung across 
the shoulder, and a little hand basket car¬ 
ried by the side, comprise it, with sometimes 
an iron poker, crooked at one end. 
Flinging down the bag, and dropping the 
basket, the rag picker proceeds to tip tip the 
barrel and begin an examination of its con¬ 
tents. Every half-burned hit of coal, be it. 
no larger than a hickory nut, is carefully put 
into the basket, while the hag receives each 
piece of cloth or paper. It is dirty work, of 
course; the ashes fly up in little clouds, as 
if indignant at being meddled with, and fill 
the rag picker’s eyes and nose, and powder 
his or her hair; and the coals begrime the 
hands, which in turn blacken the lace, and 
the rag picker’s resembles a negro’s very 
soon. It is dirty work, I repeat; but the 
basket of coals will warm the rag picker’s 
cold room, and the hag of “paper rags” 
will sell for a few pennies to buy bread; and 
so the worker patiently toils on. 
AVe have said that rag pickers are numer¬ 
ous. There arc many who follow the busi¬ 
ness regularly, and who make a pretty good 
living by it. Then there are many others 
who fake to it from painful necessity,—who 
can get no other work, and who must have 
food or die. AVe see these latter oftcuer 
than wc like to; their pinched faces, their

A PLEA FOR DOGS, 
PUZZLER ANSWERS, 
•Sir Walter Scott declared that he 
c&uld believe anything of dogs. He was 
very fond of them, studied their idiosyncra¬ 
sies closely, wrote voluminously in their 
praise, and told many stories of their unac¬ 
countable habits. Once, he said, he desired 
an old pointer of great experience, a pro¬ 
digious favorite, and steady in the field as u 
rock, to accompany his friend, Daniel 
Terry, the actor, then on a visit to Ab¬ 
botsford, and who, for the nonce, voted 
himself for a short excursion. The dog 
wagged his tail in token of pleased 
obedience, shook out his ears, led the 
way M’ith a confident air, and began 
ranging about with the most scientific 
precision. Suddenly lie pointed ; up 
sprang a numerous covey. Terry, bent ao 
on slaughter, fired both barrels at once, 
aiming in the center of the enemy, and 
missed. The dog turned around in 
utter astonishment, wondering who 
Could be behind him, and looked Terry ^ 
full in the face; but, after a pause, 
shook himself again and went lo work 
as before. A second steady point, a 
second fusilade, and no effects. The 
dog then deliberately wheeled about 
and trotted home at his leisure, lcav- ^ 
ing the discomfited venator to find 
for himself during the remainder of the 
day. Sir Walter was fond of repeating the 
anecdote, and always declared that it was 
literally true, while Terry never said more 
in contradiction than that “ it was a good 
story.” 
Well Done! —AVe call this a pretty in¬ 
cident, which occurred recently in a AVest- 
ern town:—In one of the rooms of the public 
school is a lame girl, whom the teacher al¬ 
lows to be dismissed before the others, so 
that no harm may befltll her when they 
crowd out together. Not long ago the 
building took fire, and the scholars rushed 
lor the doors from all the rooms hut one— 
the one where the lame girl had her desk. 
There the girls sat quietly in the excitement 
until their unfortunate companion had passed 
out before them, as usual, when-they fol¬ 
lowed with an outburst of fright as intense 
as their conduct was noble.
