The ipools were removed with great difficulty, especially the last one, whioh fitted remarkably tight. After that, Mopsey never saw a work basket without arching her tortoise-shell back, and distending her tail to three times its natural thickness. Another child would have squeezed the kitten, or stuck a pin in it, or twisted her tail; but it was reserved for the superior genius of Johnny to string rather small spools upon it.

I reflect how hard it is to reason with grown-up people, if they happen to be unwilling to accept your views of matters. I am inclined to be very patient with Johnny, whose experience is rather limited, after all, though he is six years and a half old, and naturally wants to know why and wherefore. Somebody says something about " blind obedience.? I out expect Johnny to have more wisdom than Solomon, and to be more philosophical than the philoeopherc. This brought matters to ft crisis.

Now, I do not intend io describe the details of the brilliant action, for the suficient reason that, though there were seven young gentleman (connected with the Primary School) oh the field as war correspondents, their accounts of tho engagement are so contradictory as to be utterly worthless. On one point they all agree; that the contest waa ahort, sharp and decisive. The truth is, the General is a quick, wiry, experienced old hero; and it didn't take him long to route the Barnabee boy, who waa really a coward, as all bailies and tyrants ever have been and alwtys will be.

A Chaplain in Arkansas says that a man buying furs was conversing with a woman at whose house he called, and asked her if there wera any Presbyterians about there.

I turned my face aside, for I felt a certain weakness creeping into the corners of my month. I was lost. In an instant the little head, oovered all over with yellow curls, was laid upon my knee, and Johnny was crying, "I'm so very, very sorry."

When Johnny is all snugly curled np in bed, with his rosy cheek resting on -one of his scratched and grimy little hands, forming altogether a perfect picture of peace and innocence, it seems hard to realise what a busy wretch he is 1 There is something so oomieal in those little shoes and stockings sprawling on the floor—they look as if they could jump up and run off if they wanted, is something so laughable about those little trowsers, still retaining the shape of Johnny's little legs, and refusing to go to sleep—and about Johnny himself which makes it difficult for me to remember that, when Johnny is awake, he not unfrequently displays traits of character not to be compared with anything but the cunning of an Indian warrior, combined with the combative qualities of a trained prize fighter.

That such will be the case for several months to come, probably owing to the present depressed and uncertain condition of the money market there is little doubt. jgAGLE FORGE I'm sure I don't know how he came by such unpleasant propensities.

But when you come to Johnny—he's the terror of the whole neighborhood. I should not like to enumerate the battles that Johnny has fought during the past eight months, is a physical impossibility, I should judge, for him to refuse a challenge. He picks his enemies out of all ranks of society, lie has fought the ash-man's boy, the grocer's boy, the rich boys oyer the way, and any number of miscellaneous boys who chanced to stray into PASSAGE TO AND FROM WALLPAPERS or ALL KINDSAND PRICES which he will sell at the lowest rates at which they can be afforded.

I have known the tip of his nose to be in a state of unpleasant redness for weeks together. I have known him to come home frequently with no brim to his hat; one# he presented himself with one shoe, on which occasion his jacket was split up the back in a manner that gave him the appearance of an over-ripe chestnut bursting out of its burr. How he will fight! But this I can say, if Johnny is as cruel as Caligula, he is every bit as brave as Agamemnon. I never knew him to tell a lie when a lie would say* him from disaster. At present the General, as I sometimes call bim, is in hospital. He was seriously wounded at the battle of The Little Go-Cart, on the 9th instant.
