History Of Some Mens’s
Lives.
“Man, bora of woman,” says
an exchange, “is little persim
mons and generally green. His
life might be divided into four
parts. As he starts, hi3 stom
ach is full of pains, blackberry
balsam and paregoric and he
winds up by steeling green ap
ples and fishing on Sunday. The
second period, commencing at 15,
rapidly passes into the smart-alex
fever and he learns to wear high
collars, smoke cigarettes, call his
father the old man and go with
the girls. At 21, after he has
bankrupted his father and blown
every cent of bis own, be finds
a woman who is fool enough to
marry him and take in washing
until she is called away. Toe
last puriod he lives around With
his children, tolls of the great
tilings he did when a boy, and
tin.dly goes under, making a mo
mentary bubble on the sea cf
humanity, then is entirely forgot
ten. —Ex.
What a boy can do.
These are some of the things a
boy can do:
He can shout so loud that the air
turns blue;hecanmakea!l sounds
of beast or bird, and a thousand
more they never heard. He can
crow or cackle, chirp or cluck, till
he fools the rooster, hen or duck
he can mock the dog or lam b or
cow, and the catherself can’t beat
his “me ow.” He has sounds that
areruffled, striped or plain;hecan I
thunder by like a railway train, j
stop at the station a breath, and
thenapply thesteain and off again.
He has all the powers in such com
mand that he can turn right intoa
full brass band with all of the in
struments ever played, and march
away as a street parade. You can
tell that a boy is very ill, if he is
wide awake and keepingstill; but
earth would be a dull old place if
there were no boys.
