In tho necoinpnnylng cut is given a very good plcturo of thoCnlmn moil koy, Mnthow, who enjoys a grout ivpittntlon for lutclllgonco. A Uulmn journal nssurco its readers that Mnthow will stand erect like n man, and politely salute nil present.

Tho nlravo is only tho merest outlluo of n fow of tho mnny things which this remark nblo nnlnml has been taught to do. His fumo having reached Madrid, ho has 1kmh sent over there, whero ho now attracts great at tention. Young Mr. Crowley, tho trick monkey in Central park, Now York, attracts much at tention from young nnd old. Ho will shako hands with visitors, wind up n Wnterbury watch, and indulgo in frequent lunches olT tho fruits, nuts, etc., brought to him daily by llttlo pcoplo, whom it need hardly bo told, ndmlro Mr. Crowley very much indeed. IUI ml mini's iiuir. Though man U somlor all tho day, Ills children they keep bright and gay And full of merry freaks. They think, and rightly too, no doubt, That laughing makes lltnks strong and stout, And rosy hued tins checks. Thero Is, jierhaps, no moro iwpular gamo known to tho juvenile world than ono hero known ns blindmnn's buff, whllo in England it is termed "Hoodman Blind," becausoit was customary to blind buff with a hood in olden days. HOODltAN BLIND. This gomo at romps consists, as most of our readers doubtless know, iu ono crson having a handlicrchiof bound over his eyes so ns to completely blind him, nnd thus blindfolded trying to chnso tho other players cither by tho sound of their footsto or their fmbdued merrhnont, as they fccrumblo away iu nil directions, endeavoring to avoid being caught by him; when ho enn manage to catch ono, tho player caught must in turn bo blinded, and tho gamo bo begun again. In somo localities it is customary for ono of tho players to lnqulro of Huff tlieforo tho gamo begins) "How many horses has your father got?" to which inquiry ho responds "Tureo." "What colors aro thoyT "lllnck, white and gray." Tho questioner then desires Duff to "turn round three times, and catch whom you mny," which request ho complies with, and thon tries to capture ono of the players. It is often played by merely turn ing tho blindfold hero round and round with out questioning him, and then beginning. The handkerchief must bo tied on fairly, so as to allow no llttlo holes for Duffy to seo through. Dliudmau's Duif is a very nncient pastime, having been known to tho Grecian youth. In Her Stocking. Tho following btory wns recent' 7 told in Tho Youth's Companion: Fnnnio wns tho good nnd orderly child of tho family, nnd Nan wns tho naughty ono. Nan's bureau drawers wero nover In order, nnd her clothes would probably lmvo gono unmondod till tho cloth parted company with itself, if grandma and Aunt Suo had not como to tho rcscuo, and heljK-d out in tho week's mending. Even her llttlo sister groaned over her ten dencies, and tiled to counteract them by wise counsel. "Nan," said sho ono morning, "whero is tho silk for mamma's tidy I'll help you finish it if you'll tell mo whero tho stuff is." "Oh, I'vo forgotten," said Nan, tho careless. "In my upper drawer, may bo, or In tho monding basket." "You won't got it dono boforo Christmas," said tho warning Fan, as sho looked over her sister's tumbled possessions. "Oh yos, I shall; thero's plouty cf tlmo," (aid Nan, taking a chocolate cream, and turning a leaf of her book. "Oh Fan, what do yousupposowo shall hnvo for Christmas!" Fan nt that moment was looking over a heap of tumblod clothes. Sho glanced up mischlovously. "I'll tell you ono thing you'll bo suro to find In your stocking," sold tho. "Whatr "A hole," Smiles and Tears. I smile, and then tho sun comes out; He hides away whene'er I pout; Ho seems a very funny sun To do whatever ho sees dono. And when it rains he disappears; Mko me, ho can't seo through tho teara. Now Isn't that tho reason why I ought to smllo and never cry? In moro than this is ho llko mo; For overy evening after tea IIo closes up his eyelids tight, And opens them at morning's light.

Good Milliners Moro Scrvlcealilo la So ciety llmii'u Hunk Account. Good manners nro not to common ns to bo of no weight in society, llko gootf ipclllng or good English, says Harper' Dnznr. Ono may bo as rich as tho Kotlisclillcln, ono may bo highly educated ami not jwssehX them, or ono may hnvo them in a degree. Good manners aro moro servlreablo than a passport, than a bank account, orn lineage, Thoy make friends for us; thoy nro moro potent than oloquenco nnd genius without them. Thoy undoubtedly spring from a kind heart, and nro the dictates of good humor. Thoy nre not something to bo lenruul from fashion news nnd books of etiquette; thoy nro not imported or borrowed. The good man nered jiorson docs not tells us our fallings, docs not lecture us; ho does not merely wear his manners because thoy aro becoming or KlItic, but been uso ho can no moro exist without them than without air. Thero nro those who may Im said to have n positive genius for good manners as an other has for conversation; they know how to sway others by thorn. Poho jicople have an influenco that is not duo to their position or possessions, to their learning or their wit. Thero aro those who believe that good man ners aro only another name for good clothes and good food and good homes with tho modern conveniences and luxuries, that thoy nro talkative and omphatlo nnd showy; but wo do not nlways find that tho best man nered jiooplo livo in iMilaces. Good manners nre bouiethlng which no bod j can afford to do without, no matter how rich or powerful or Intellectual ho may be. They add to beauty, they detract from per sonal ugliness, thoy cast a glamor over de fects, thoy ninnliornto the round bho'ildetn of this person and tho squint of tne other; whoro thoy exist, Imagination Mipplios defi ciencies of overy other attraction.
