UeaJer, wlien you repeat the title of Ibis paper, you need not let your raind run inio the realms of the far future, nor your fancy to'si)eclilate upou tiiat doubtful i)erio"d,^vlileli thcori/ ba-s pic¬ tured, wlicn tbe last nieinber of our race sliall liave p.issed away ;—nor yet to ¦•lend it leeliug into tbe long past, to coiijaio up tbe first newspaper tbat made its appearauce in tbis world—for this i.s not our theme. We have refer¬ ence specially to subjects aud objects strictly colemporancous; and yet, coin- paialively, tbfcy are old, and tbis re¬ minds us that wc, too, are getting old, iu spite of couuterfeeliugs.
In short, we have before ns a dingy and dilapidated old newspaper—the L..vxc'.vSTi;ii .louRXAL—with an impos¬ ing head in " Unglisb te.'ct," enveloped in sundry flourishes, published by Wil¬ liain Hamilton, and dated "Friday morning, ivprji III), loiu.— jl la-a cii,,,- four culunius lo tbe page, and tbe size of its pages, seventeen iuches loug aud twelve inches wide. IU first page is devoted exclusively to ailvertiscmeut^, uml as the subjects of our rellections are men. the last of whoiii, uninng its advertisers, has just passed away, we will briefly notice tbese, and tbcir occu- paLion.^antl wants, reserving extraneous relleiti'jns as an appropriate "conclu¬ sion."

Oil the third page we have a procla¬ mation from Atlam Bcigart, C. B., to the eflect tbat tbe holding of " Fairs " in the borough of Lancaster, is from thenceforward abolished, and l>y an act of Assembly they are " forever prohib¬ ited and d«clareda coJi.Mox xuisanx'E." This acl must have been a "dead let¬ ter," for we have a distinct recollection oi fairs baviug been held in Lancaster, many years sub.sequent lo that period, not only iu Lancaster, but iu many other places, iu this aud adjoining couuties. lu pointof/«c<, fairs were only rcttlty abolished by the more po¬ tent instruments of public opinion, and the general advance qf moral intelli¬ gence.
H'. C.

Two ap¬ prentices are " Wanted Immediately," next door to the Farmers' Bank, to learu the Cabinet-making business.— Few, comparatively, seem to want to be appreutices noio, and fewer still make public application for them.— John Get:, "Coppersmith and Tinplate Worker," .advertises " Copper, Brass aud Tinware," at bis uew stand, oppo¬ site Bach man's Tavern,in North Queen street. Abraham Baily, Treasurer, an¬ nounces the "Annual Meeting " of tbe Company for erecting a " Bridge over the Suaquebauna" near McCall's Ferry. Every vestige of thatstrueture has long since passed ayay, and the subject of another bridge at that place is agitated now. A doleful lamentation is uttered by The Printer, ou tbe exceeding dull¬ ness of the times, and the scarcity of money, " which all allow." go short a time after tbe war of 1812, there must have been a justification of tbese com¬ plaints ; but in all our experience of forty years, we cannot recollect a time, wheu people everywhere were satisfied on this point.   There alwaya have been

Reserving one other name, on this page, as the subject of more extended remarks, we gently turn over the folio, to consider the contents of its fourth page.   Henry Eeigard, continues the "coppersmith business" at his honse in South Queen street, next door to tbe Fountain  Inn.   John   ScoU, oilers a "Valuable Farm for Sale," situated in Baltimore County Maryland.

George Daly, culls the attention of tbe public to his "Pbiladeljihia Porter and Ale."   Henry Cassel, Henry Haines Jr., and Abradam Cassel, gives notice that all   persons   who   have   legal   claims agaiust Jacob Graybill, are requested to present   lhem  ttc.     George f,cwis Mayer, acting Kxeculorof the estate "f the late Christian JIaycr, issues a "last notice," to the debtors of said estale. The last advertiseiueiit ou  this jiage, which we shall   notice   is   a flainlTig "Lottery Scheme," "To defray the ex¬ pellees incurred for repairing the Streets iu the horough ot Lancasler," signed by John Hubly, Casperahairner, Jacob King, Adam Reigart,  Abraham  Wit¬ mer, James Crawford, William Jiout- gomery, Einauuel Reigart, John Holi', Samuel White, James Humes, Beiiji- miu Shaum, Henry Kell'er, .ToliiiBinu- berger, John Swarr and Heiiiy Cassel, as IVlauagers. Those werethe fliiancier- ing schemes of thatday; 7ioi« the same ends are efl'ected through loans, bonds, and   other   obligations, authorized  by legislative acts, the interest on  which is provided  by  taxation, bttt whether ever the principle  will he paid, per¬ haps, no luan now liviug can tell.
Tbese names, and these occupations and enterprises, constitute an epitome of the people und  the  limes, five and flfty J-ears   ago,   in  the Borough and County of Laucasler; and we have to add but  oue name mort to complete tbe list of advertisers ou  the pages of this   frail old  newspaper, for it long constituted the sole coiiuecting link be¬ tween, this aspect of the present and the  past.     GoDKi(if:D   Zaii.m,   Brush- Maker,—so  recently gathered   to  his fathers—as   Executor of the   eslate. of John Rudy, Cabinet-maker, notifies all persons indebted to said eslate to make payment,   and   those   having   claims agaiust it to   present   lhem; and we feel that he executed the trust with his characteristic    ability   and   inlegilty. We also feel that he leaves a record us honorable as auy of the names we bave mentioned, no matter what their social aud pecuuiary positious, or tbeir pretcn tioiis may bave been.    We had a per¬ sonal acquaiutauce with  but thirteen of these   advertisers   and   a  speaking acquainlauce   witb   only    four,    ami among   the   latter,   was  Mr. 2.    We served with hiin three years in the Sel¬ ect   Council,! and   one   year  on   the finance committee, aud always fuuud him .social, cheerful,  painstuklug, and correct.   His motlo, aud his haliit, iu hisown  personal  aH'airs, was "Pay as yen go," aud this principle was always dominent in his ideas of city legisla¬ tion, al tbe same time, his course was always marked   with a commendable spirit of enterprise.   Hewas the last of the line, of tbe worthies herein enum¬ erated, and we feel that in his death, a cord has been severed, which bound this platform of the pa.'!< to the shores of the present, and that now it is floating out ou   the   broad sea of "tho thiugs that were,"   Still his nicmorv, as well as   the   memory   of   tbe   ot'/tcr.i,  -ivill dwell greenly  iu  the recollections of their families und friends; neverthe¬ less, it migbt not be iuvideous to say, that that—" He was Uisnoblesl Roman among them all."   We cauuot refrain here from relatiug an unecilote, which exhibits his ideus of his obligations lo tha Bl inter.   He always puid  his .sub¬ scription in advauce otherwise he did uot consider that be was reading  bis own newspaper.   Printers and iiublish- ers have room to lainaut that there arc not more of this kind of suhseribers iu the laud.
While silting .at his desk, in liisoflicc, on a suminer duy, a collector of news¬ paper subseriptiou.s, called on him aud presenteil a. bill. He received him lu his usual courteous slyle, and luking tbe llttie missive in his band, he pleii.s- antly scanned its character and con¬ tenls, tben replied—"Oyes,—that's all right—let me see once"—at the same time raising the lid of Ihedcsk, b'edrew forth a sniall receipt book; the collce- lo^r in the meantime, cougrutnlaling himself upon the easy and sure acqui¬ sition of bis ;)cr7«i.v;/('c.s-of oflice, drew out his ink-horn and pen, aud joyously lirejiared lo write in said book the usuul receipt.

As an appropriato conclusion of our reflections,.we lurn now to the aeedrid page of this " timo honored'' journal, which we flnd iargely-roade up of let¬ ters from France;" in which a waut of coufidcnce isexpressed in the atatiility of the Government of Louis XVIII, who has drawn around bim aset of im¬ beciles as ministers of State, a^ud is sup¬ ported in his positiou as King, by for¬ eign bayonets. "A new dynasty is needed, at the head of which should be a man of Bonapart's commandiug and overawing talent, but with more boun¬ ded ambilion." There aro no traits of majesty iu Louis, " exceiitthat ho isa royal eater, aud has a critical acquain¬ tance with Virgil and Horace. Alas, poor France, there is much iu tbose letters that would apply lo its present condition, especially the complaints agaiust tlie heavy indemnities, and tbe s|.oilaliou of Its capilal. There is this difl'erence, however, that the inveterate hatred her people tben indulged in agaiust the English, is now turned aguinst the Germans.
From London, we have the news that tho Maiden in her passage home from India touched at St. Helena, and brought the iutelligence that Bonapart luul removed tohis permanent residence at Longwood, in the interior. From Cork, a" dreadful calamaty" is report¬ ed, eaused by an attempt to extinguish a fire in a large baru where a dance was being held—with what was supposed to be v.'ulcr, but whicb turned out to be whis'.jy, iugniting the whole building; sixteen being burnt to dealh, and twice that number despasred of. From the market report, it appears that—Beef was selling theu from 15 to 20 cents per pound,—Mutton IS to 2-5 ceuts -Veal 17 to 20 ceuts—Pork 12'to \5 cents, and "poultry proportionally high." News from the South ;" au approaching 4lh of Jul.v celebration at the New "i^ork Navy Yard; a "shocking accident" at Portland iiaine; a"strauge story'" to tbe efl'ect that S'laci had been caught in aclear Spring, two miles-from the river, iu the neighborhood of George¬ town, lower Mabanoj'. Shad had beeu cleaned at that place in the Spriug, aud the roes are supposed to have fallen into the pool where tbey afterw'ards bred. NVe mention this circumstance, merely because "Fish culture" is now excltlug much attention. The page then con¬ tinues wilh—a'¦mammoth Culf;" news Ibat elections in Rhode Island had fa¬ vored the Federal cause; and from ll^uuland, tbal she had ulready received four inilUons of dollars of tbe French ciiutributions,—and a half-column no¬ tice of the approaching I\rrT.Trc^ iiuo- -,.-^1,^, coiujtieies mis jiage, said notice is signed by GEO.

Although tbere is not a single liue of original editoriul iu this old newspaper, yet iioni its selections it can easily be seen Ihat it is Federal iu its proclivi¬ ties. In one of its extracts on tbe sub¬ ject of Economy, it charges tbe Demo¬ cratic party with "unparallelled extra¬ vagance "—iu that itexpendedtiiikty- 1--0UU TjrouSAKD uollaes for coveriug two unliulshed ships at Sackelt's Hurbor. There would hardly be as much " fuss " about thirty four millions now. Then follows au article beaded "A Spice of Bonaparte," severely lam¬ pooning somo "Amendments," int,o- dueed into the U. S. Senate by General Musou, I'or the regulation of U. S. Mili¬ tia, something like Van Buren's fanious "Standiug Army" biil. After tbis comes a letter from John Mitchell, esq., U. S.

Next follows the Electoral votes of all the Slates//icu—eighteen in number— with the number cast by tlieni respect¬ ively, New York 21l, being the bighest, and Vermont and Louisiana each 3, the lowest. How much all this sounds like tilings daily transpiring around us at the present day, difl'ariug in iiolhtng, save perhaps in the magnitude of the events recorded.
The wliole concludes with abe.autiful apostrophy to Spring, extracted from the Bctcrsbiiry Intelligencer.

HOW GIELS SHOULD -WALK.
A good many-years ago,—let me look in the glass again,—never use hair dj-e, —yes, a great many years ago, I was studying my profession in a medical office with several other students. Just below stood a book-bindery, and a lit¬ tle above, the residence of a poor wi¬ dow. A girl of twenty years passed backward ond forward; from one to the other, several times a day. Very rarely did she pass our ottlce without one or more of us observing lier^ Very natu¬ ral,yousay. Butyou don'tunderstand me." She was uot a handsome girl. Her dress was of the plaiuest calico, aud, sujipose on accountof her occupa¬ tion, it was not alwiiys clean. But, nevertheless, she was oue of our stajilc attractions.
Our oflice was on the main street, aud above us were the residences of the ricli. Iiundreds of girls with handsome faces aud rich dresses passed every day, but we were not on the lookout for them. It was only the book-binding girl that drew us to the window.
One of the fellows would cry out, " Here she goes. Como quick, John; quick, Henry."
Curious, wasn't it ? '^
And whut do you suppose so excited our interest.
She walked well.' Ah ! I can see her now! Whal a queen.
Queenly, we exclaim, with reference to a certain manuer of walking. We never say queenly moulh, or queenly eyes, or queenly nose. 'The word is applied only to a certain style of per¬ sonal carriage. When w-e see a woman pass, carrying her liead aud shoulders in a peculiar way, stepping off in a grand, elastic style, the word queenly leaps to very lip.
Our booli-biudinggirl was a Metho¬ dist; aud I do uot mind telling you that I used to go to the Methodist church prelty often, and always Silt iu the gal¬ lery, that I might aee her come in aud out. fShe frequented a litlle social or¬ ganizaliou, iu wbich young men aud women assemble for conversation, reading, singing, etc. I joined, although there was no olher attraction than our queen.
You may think it very strange, but I was never introduced to her; I never spoke with her. Indeed, I carefully avoided a personal acquaintance, lest a lack of intelligence or setlment migbt break the charm of her peerless bear¬ ing. I think that nothiug in auy wo¬ mau has every more deeply impressed my imagination than that young woman's splendid mien.      *      *      ¦»
Girls, the Creator has not made you all handsome. Ho has not given you all fine faces, or uoble proportions; but He has given every one of you the ca¬ pacity lo learn to walk well.
Why, eveu a little woman, weighing buta hundred pounds, cau make her- .¦felf grand by a certain slyle of walk¬ iug.
ixow auy of you who desire to ap¬ pear well, to luake a line impression, can consent "to crawl about, iioking your chills out, shoulder blades stick¬ ing out, and wriggling yourself along in that stubby, stumbling way, amazes me.
i Wliy, girls, if you w-ere to give one- twentieth part as much time to learning lb walk, as you give to the piano, you would aild immensely to your attrac¬ tions. Everybody plays \the piano It is really refreshing to hear one who says, " I have never learned to play." Why uot a few of you, inslead of silting four hours a duy on piano stools, weakening and distorting your siiines ; why- not just a few of you, hy wuy of variety, cultivate this beauliful, elastic, queenly manner of walking'? Y'ou have no idea how, to use a Yan¬ kee phrase, "it would pay," as au at-

There are ceriain perquisites. Firsl, you must have low, wide heels, and broad soles, es|)ecially about the toes, aU'ording a secure surface, upon which, in taking each step, you can push tile body forward.
Second, the body at the waist must be perfeclly at liberty. The corset is a deadly enemy to liue walking.
But given perfect freedom at the mid¬ dle of the body, Ihrough which all the movements iu walking must pass,— given Ibis freedom' of the trunk, witb good shoes, and you have the perqui; sites oil which this general exercise of the body depends.
Suppose, instead of a free liody, that you jiress a corset into the pit of tbe stomach,and press it in so as lo make u scoop-shovel dip iu that part of the bodyj of course you draw the shoulders forward, aud push the bowels dowu out of their ualural place. Theu you walk like a deformed person.
With liberty of "feet and liberty of body, you are ready to take your first lesson.
I once read a book about walking. It was a French book,aud, if I reniem¬ her rigbt, it contained about one hun¬ dred and twenty pages. In il themost elaborate dirictions were given. We were told how to hold our heels aud toes, how, when tbe foot had been brought down, it was to be moved du¬ ring the step, just what angle.must he luuiiuaincd between the two feet, the slyle of movemeut in tlie ankle itself, management of the knees, the hips, the shoulders, the bead, tha arms, the Hands, the thumbs,—Ibeposition of the thumbs was tbe subject of several pages. , >«'
I bave sometimes thought that I would write a book on walking. I am sure I can write a better one than that French book, aud my book would con¬ tain ouly four words. Let us see^ we must have two leaves, and each leaf must be as large as your thumb nail. We bave four pages.
Now we Avill proceed lo print this book. On the first page we will print one single word, " chin " ; on the sec¬ ond a single word, ''eZosc"; on the third page " to " ; uow we approach the end of the volume; turn over, and on the last page we print the word "neok."
The volumo is complete. No expla¬ natory notes may tie giveu, not another wonl need be said. Whoever carries tho "chill close /o «ec&" is all right from top to loe, and will walk well. Slrango to say, the chin is the pivot on which the whole body turus iu walk-

Tbe collector,, somewhat con¬ sternated, read a receipt in full, and in advance, for the very bill which hehad just presented, and uow, more discon¬ certed, he repocketed his inkhorn and pen, and then prepared to leave, ouly remarking that he must have madea mistake in the person. Before he reached the door, however, Mr. Z.— wilh a slightly Iriiiniphant smile—re¬ marked, 'I always read my own paper I never read anybody else's paper.    If
Mr.   F. dou't want me to read my
own paper, he can stop it, and pay me my money back agaiu; the collector iu the meantime beating a hasty retreat. Of course, he was only joking in the matter of "stopping the iiaper," but it
was perhaps a just rebuke to the pub¬ lisher, for his " loose" way of keeping ¦his accounts. Had he been a President, a successful General, or a Kiug, mauy of hia characteristic peculiarities would

I havo often said if my adopted daughter shonld come lo me, and say :—
"Father, I am goiug to Japan; I don't expect lo see you again in this world, and, now as 1 am about to leave you, tell me how to preserve my health."   I should say :—
" Aly daughter, I am glad yon came to me about this. I have given my lile to the sludy of the l.awsof health, and I am sure I can give yoti valuable sug¬ gestions.
"Listen. Iwlll give you five rules, and if you observe them, no inatter where you may live, you will be almost sure to maintain good health."
"Father, five rules; that's a great mauy. I am afraid I shall forget sume of lhem ; give me one,—the most im¬ portant one, and I promise uot to forget it."
" Jfy daughter, if I can give you but one rule, itis this: Staud up straight, walk erect, sit erect, aud even when you are in bed at night, don't put three pillows under your head, and w-aleli your toes all night, but keep yourself straight. If you do tbis your lungs, heart, liver, stomach, uud ull other oi^ gans iu the body, will have room for work. My dear child, if you observe this rule, you will not ouly' have the air of a noble woman, butyou will contribute more than by any other single rule, to the vigor of your body, and the maintenance of your health.

"The Creator has fitted this little vocal apparatus in the throat to a cer¬ tain attitude of the body;

Y'ou are in haste to become a queeu? The ambition is a noble one. Y'ou cau hurry the change by auother iirac¬ tice, wbicb I will discribe.
A charming lady of the grand, old- fashioued pattern, bore herself like an empress at eighty-six. I ventured lo .ask her-:—
"Madam what was the source of this remarkable carriage of your persou ?" She replied:—
"During my young life I carried a large book ou my head one or two hours every day. My mother had beeu taught the practice in an English school, and she transmitted it to her daughters."
Sume years ago there was devised a pretiy iron crown, in three parts, which bas been much used for this purpose. The fii-st part, which rests upou the head, weighed nine pounds; when un iron ring was placed inside of Ibis, it
\vcI;;l»vU   ciglifcccu   |iuLitllla,   uml   wlicn
the secoud one was added, the weight was twenty-seven pounds. This devise was oriuimental and convenient. But, while the ci-owii is the best thiug, any weight will do. A bag of corn or beans may be employed. A book will answer very well. I have frequently seen books used. Y'ou can use any large bonk of no value,—say ft large law book,—and you will find that the effort to retain it un tbe head will se¬ cure a perfect balanced, accurate move ment of all the muscles of the body. Whutever weight is employed, let it be carried upon the lop of the ilead, hold¬ ing tile cbin close to the neck, thirty miuutes in the moruing, and about the same time before lying dowu at uight. In this connection let me say tbat the use of thick piilows tends lo produce a curve lu the neck. I am glad losee that hair pillows of moder¬ ate size are being generally introduced. Let me explain the way in which carrying a loud upon the head helps the spine inlo an erect posture. The spine is composed of twenty-foiirsepar- ale bones, which do not lie upon oue another, but are separated by uiishions of elastic cartilage. Suppose the thick¬ ness of tlieso cushions lo lie a quarter ofuuinch. Whenthesplne iserect,they areof the same thickness all around. When the spiue is beut side-wise, say towards the right, the eliLslic cushions becomo-thinner on that side, and if the lieiuliug is decided, tlie edges of the spinal bones themselves will nearly touch, while Ihe muss of elastic or india-rubber sabstaiice will be pressed over to the itiii. side. Now suitposc that one follows all occujiution requir¬ ing this posilion of the spine. After a time unless pains are taken to counter¬ balance the mischievous infiuence of the occupation, theso india-rubber cusbious between the spinal bones will become fixed in this wedge-like shape, beiug thin ou the right side and thick on tho left side.
Now suppose, instead of bending sidewise, one bends forward, as nine persons in ten do, exuctly the same thing takes place;in these elastic, rub¬ ber cu.shioii.s, ouly that the rnbber is pushed backward, and the spine bones come togeiher in front- When the chin is drawn back close to the neck, and'the cushions are broughtinto ibeir natural equality of thickness all.around, if, at tbe sarae moment, a considerable w-eigh tis placed upon the head lo press liird upou the spinal cushions, much will be done in a little time, lo fix thein in thisnatunil shape. ¦ It requires bu^. a few months of this management to induce a very striking change in the attitude of the spine.
Many years ago, when my wife was an invalid, we spent three winters in the South. Tbe plantation negro was a shambling, careless, uncouth crea¬ ture; bnt occasionally we saAV a negro whose bearing suggested a recent occu¬ pancy of oue of the queenly ihrimes iu Africa. After a little we came to un¬ derstand tbe source of this peculiarity. These negroes, of the erect, lofty pat¬ tern, were engaged in "toting" loads upou their heads.
Everywhere, in certain largedistricts of Italy, one is struck with ihesiugnlar carriage of the water-carriers, who bring from the mountain springs, great tubs of water on their heads.
How often we see Germau girls .bringing into town great loads of sticks on their heads. Aud we never look at them, if we are thoughtful, wltbout contrasting their proud, erect carriage, with the drooping shoulders, projecting shoulder blades, stuek-out chins, and geueralslipshnddinessof our wives and daughters.—From Dr. Dio Bcwis' new book, on "Our Girls."

Aimless Edccation.—Here is a rich man's sou, who bas been educated at greatcxpen.se and pains, who hasgradu- ated from college, and has come outa gentleman. He has sluilied, uot with a view of fitting Iiimself for any avoca¬ tion iu life, but with the view of heing a gentiemau. He reads, not for the sake of knowing anything, but for tlie sake of being a gentleman. Soon, his father breaks dowu; and he, wheu he is tweuty-five years old, finds himself a poor man's sou, and dependent on his own exertions. And he says lo himself—" What shall I do for a living? He asks his feet, and bis feet say—"Idonotknow." He asks his head, and itsays—"I nev¬ er learnetl anything about how to get a living." Thereis but one man that can befriend this poor wretch, and that is the sexton. Could anything be more useless than such a persou? Could there be anything more pitiable than sueh histories? Aud yet theyare occurring every day.

HOW TOMMY WENT TO THE CIR¬ CUS. Billy had a wonderful stock of pa¬ tience. To be sure, he had very little to try it, for, as he uever had to go through with any washing or brushing.or-curl- ing to speak of, he saved up all his stock to spend on more Important matters. This special morning.he had waited at the alley gait, with his sticky face pressed close against the bars, waiting and watching for nearly an thour in the vain hope IbatTommy would make his appearauce.
As for Tommy, he was in the house, trying to harness his kitten to baby's little tin, oxprcss wagou. The trouble was, that whenever kitty heard the wagon rattling behind her,"she turned around, quick as u flash, to see what was a coming; and so Tommy had to begin all over again. He gave it up at last, aud kitly crept away under the lounge lo lick the fur into res¬ pectable condition, aud Tommy saniil- ered out the door, quite undecided what to do uext. Theu Billy's xiatieuce had its reward.
"C'mover here. Tommy," ho called ; "waut t' show you somelhiug."
Tommy came dowu to the gate; like Parley the porter, he only meant lo look through, but when lie saw the doors of tile livery sluble all splendid wilh red and yellow posters, he march¬ ed straight ucross tho alley before he slopped to .think.
¦ It's the cirkis," said Billy "It's over by thu soap fact'ryiii a lent more'n a mile big, an' there's elfunts, uud rauga-taugs, an' camels liigber'ii a house, an'moukeys, an' everything." "I saw monkeys to the museum," gaid Tommy, twisting:his short neck to get a good view of a picture that waa pasted on sideways.
" Ho, 'lain't like them things," said Billy, scornfully. " The elfunts dauce on one \tiSi and they huve a horse that cau read the paper, and fly in the air with a man standin' up ou his back. My brother Sam seen 'em."
"I'll ask my Uucle Jim to tuko me," said Tommy, " or iielse papa."
And so hedid; hut he found, to his great disappointment, tliat neither of tbem approved at all of the circus, so he was forced to console himself by ad¬ miring tbe pictures.
" I know the way," suggested Billy, temptingly; "you jest come dowu lo the coruer, and I'll show ye."
Tommy did not mean lo go any far¬ ther, bul wlien they reached the cor¬ ner there wasa bigstureiu the way,aud they had to cross Ibestreet to see plain¬ er. Then they walked along a little further losee some gold flsh in a w-in- dow-, and then to see what a w-ooden Indian was holding out in his liaud, and tben to examine' some red veloci¬ pedes, uutil at last they came to the street cars. Right at the corner there w.ia one wilh a little flag on the-top, that said, iu big letters, " TO TiLm HIPPODROME." Neilher of the boys could read it, if they could have done so, they uever would have guessed what it meant. But Billy knew that the car with the llag went to the cir¬ cus, so he said,
"Le'a get in."' And foolish little Tommy got right in.
There was nobody inside, but pretty soou the car began lo fill up, and, soon after they slarted, the conductor came thiough for (ickcts.
" Who pays foryou, bub?" he said to Tommy.
"Papa, nelse Uuclo Jim," said Tom¬ my, promiitly.
The couductor looked around inquir¬ ingly, and Tommy explained.
"They didn't come, too; we'ragoin' to see the cirkis, me'n Billy."
" Have you got auy money ?" asked the conductor, smiliug a little.
'• Course, I'sh fiiik so," said Tommy, " in my tin savings bank ; and a dollar besides of it, only it's lost down the 'frigerator hole to the parlor, where the warm comes up."
"I've got more'n that," said Billy, "only I borrowed il to Sam, and be don't never pay iiio."
"They're ruuning away, the liltle rascals," said a .liood-iiatured-looking man lo the conductor. " The besl thing you ca-n do isto put lhem ofl'at the next comer, aud toll lhem", to go home." " ¦¦'      ,¦'-'   •
So the conductor put- them oil' iires- eully, and told them toirun straiglit homo, or the ]>olicem'aii would lock them up ; at wliich Tommy begaii lo cry, bui Billy w-as not iu the least trou¬ bled.
" Como on. Tommy," .said he boldly, " we're 'most theie now."
"I want to go home," whined Tom¬ my. " Jly idanima says you're a bud boy, and 1 mustn't 'sociate wid you." " You've got to Come," said Billy, triumphantly, '!'cause you don't know the way home. My mother suya-you ain't nothing hut a big baby, with yer curls and yer white slockin's."
Tommy quailed at ouce before this .-iw-fnl sarcasm, and walked meekly along by Billy until they actually reached the grouud, aud found, to their dismay, that peopio wero expeoteil lo pay forgoing loacircus. Half suffoca¬ ted by the dust, trumped and jostled by the crowd, and frightened out of their wits, they fiually made their way to a vacant lot belli nd the tent,and sat down to rest, and tbluk what to do next.: The fence was covered wilh au awful pic¬ ture bf a man in a cage of wild beasts, and Billy's courage revived, as he looked.at it.
" Teil ye what," said Billy, " if I was a topo' that fence, I could peek in."
Tommy looked up hopelessly at the high feuce, and made no remarks, but Billy begau at once lo make seurch for a bourd, aud fiually secured ashort oue whicii he managed to drag from under a pile of rubbish, and leaned it .aguiust the feuce. The first attempt at mount¬ ing brought him dowu with a sprawl lo theground.
"Jiggles too much," he explained, wiping his mouth on his jacket sleeve. "You'll have lo sit down aud hold it sleady."
" I don't want to," said Tommy ; " I want to go home. My mamma wants me."
" Y-'ou hold it," said Billy, "and I'll tell ye w-liafl sec, aud then we'll go straight home."
So Tommy sat down aud br.aced his back against the board, and Billy man¬ aged, after a good deal of jumping aud squirming, to reach tbe topof the fence, where he hung suspended by his knees and elbows. He could see a great deal, much more than he expected ; but, un¬ fortunately, a tall man on lbe iuside of the feuce saw bim, also.     ,
"Here, you little rascal," he called, "get down from there;" aud he reached up and rapped Billy's fingers with the eud of his cane.
Billy wouldhave been very glad to get down, but his legs were too short to reach the board by which he had mounted.so he dangled aboulfor awhile, unlil another rap un his fingers forced hiua to let go and drop lo the ground, where be lay crying witli palu and anger. Tommy cried, too, for compa¬ ny, and the noise soon brought a crowd about tbem. First, some idle boys,who begau lo tease and tormeut them, from thesame spirit in w-hich they would bave tied a liu pail to the tail of au un¬ fortunate dog. Then a mau, who ad¬ vised them lo go home; aud theu a fat, old. peanut woman, who had sold out her stock, and who scattered the rabble of boys with a few heartj' cufl's, and pouncing upon the two childreu, drag¬ ged lhem out to the sidewalk.
"Now," said she to Tommy, " tell me where you live, my little man."
" I live to papa's liouse," sobbed Tommy, "widmammaandUucle Jim." " He lives on Oak street," said Billy, beginning to recover his spirils. " I'm a taking caro of him, aud I kuow tbe way home—I guess I do," ho added, looking arouud a litlle dubiously.
" You come aloug w-ith me," said the woniau; -'I'm just goinglbat way my¬ self." Aud she kept fast hold of Tommy's hand, as she waddled aloug very much in thestyle of a big rocking chair out for a promenade.
When tbey reached the corner of the alley, she released Tommy, and the youug gentleman went home without a word to Billy, who crept into tlie livery slable, leeliug decidedly crest fallen.
"O, here ho comes, ma'am," said Ellen, rushing dowu the yard, and seizing Tommy by the hand. "'Yer a nice b'y, now, lo be scarin' yer ma into fits.wiih yer vagabone ways!" Aud as she talked, she ilragged Tommy along and presenled him tohismolher, saying, "Here he is, ma'am, all safe and sound. I knew he was bound lo turn up."
'I'ommy'a heart smote him, when he
saw how pale hia mother looked,  and
he laid his bead in her lap aud begau
to cry, penitently.
"Wherehave you beeu, Tommy?"
asked his mamma, laying her hand gently on his head.
"To the cirkis wid Billy," sobbed Tommy.
"Anrt you ran away! O, Tommy, mamma thought she could trust her lit¬ tle boy," said his mamma, sadly; and at that Tommy cried harder then ever.
Tbey had a long talk about it, and Tommy was very mucb disposed to lay all tbe blame on Billy, but his mamma preached him quite a little sermon from the text,. "My sou, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not;" and after awhile he began to seo that his part of the wrong lay ih the consenting.
"But Billy's a real naughty boy, mamma," he added, "and 1 fink I'd betier not play wid him, 'cause he's alw.ays 'licing rae, aud I might con¬ sent."
His mamma thought so, too.—Litlle Corporal.
