THE BAD BOY.
Ilia Pa la “NUhiatcd.”
“Say, are you a Mason or a nodfellow,
or anything?” asked the bad boy of the
grocery man, as he weQt to the cinnamon
bag on the shelf and took out a long stick
of cinnamon bark to chew.
“AVhy, yes, of course, I am, but what
set you to thiokiug of that!” asked the
grocery tnan, asjjie went to the desk and
ohurged the boy’s father with half a pound
of cinnamon.
“Well, do tho goats bunt when you
nishiate a fresh candidate?”
“No, of course not. The goats are
cheap ones that have no life, and we muz
zle them, and put pillows over their beads
so they can’t hurt anybody,” said the gro
cery man as he winked at a brother Odd
Fellow who was seated on a sugar barrel,
looking mysterious. “But why do you
ask?”
‘•Oh, Duthiu, only I wish me and my
churn had muzzled our gout with a pillow.
| Pa would have enjoyed his becoming a
member of our lodge better. You see, pa
had been telling us how much good the
Masons and Odd Fellows did, and said we
ought to try and grow up good so wc could
jiue the lodger when we got big, and I
asked pa if it would do any hurt for us to
play lodge in my room, and purtend to
nishiate, and pa said it wouldn’t do any
hurt. He said it would irnproveour minds
and learn us to be men. So my chum
aod me borried a goat that lives io a liv
ery-stable. Say, did you know they keep
a goat in a livery-stable so the horses won’t
get sick? They get used to the smell of
the goat, and aftei that nothing can make
them sick but a glue factory.
I wish my girl boarded in a livery.sta
ble, then she would get used to the smell.
I went home wiih her from Church Sun
day night, and the smell of the goat on
my clothes made her sick to her stummick.
and she acted just like au excursion on the
lake, and said if I didn’t go and bury my
self and take the smell out of me she
wouldn't never go with uie again. She was
just as pule ns a ghost, and the perspira
tion on her lip was just zit she had been
hit by a street sprinkler. You see my
ebum and me had to carry the goat up to
my loom when p# and un were out riding,
aud he blatted so we had to tie a handker
chief around Ins nose, and his feet made
such a noise on the floor that we put some
baby socks on his feet. Gosh, how frowsy
a goat smells, don’t it? I should think
you Masons must have strong stummix,
AVhy don’t you have a skunk or a mule for
a trade mark? Take a mule aud anoint it
with limburg cheese, and you could nishi
ate and make a candidate smell just as bad
as with a gosh darn mildewod goat.
Well, sir, my chum and me practised
with that goat until he could bunt a pic
ture of a goat every time. We borried a
buck beer sign from the saloon man, and
hung it on tho back of a chair, and the
goat would hit it every time. That night
pa wanted to know what we were doing up
iu uiy room, and I told him we were play
ing lodge and improving our minds, and
pa said that was right, tbero was nothing
that did boys of our age half so much
good as to nishiate uien and store by use
ful nollidge. Then my chum asked pa if
he didn’t want to come up and take the
grand bumper degree, aud pa lafled, and
said he didn’t care if he did, just to en
courage us boys iu innocent pastime, that
was bo improving to our intellex. We hud
shut the goat up iD a closet in my room,
and he hud got over blatting, so we took
off the huokerchiet, and he was eatiug
some of my paper collars aud skate-straps.
“We wont up stairs, and told pa to come
up oretty soon aud give three distinct raps,
and when wc asked him who comes there,
he must say, ‘a pilgaric who wants to joiu
your aucicut order and ride the goat.’ Ma
wanted to come up too, but we to)d her if
she come iu it would break up the lodge,
cause a woman couldn't keep a secret, aod
we didn’t huve any side saddle for the goat.
Say, if you never triad it, the next time
you nishiate a man in your Mason’s lodge,
you sprinkle a little kyao pepper oo tho
goat’s beard just afore you turn him loose,
you can get thypy times as much fun to
tho square inch of gpuf. You wouldn’t
fhiuk it w as the same gout, Well, wc got
nil fixed and pa rapped, and we let him in
and told him he must bo blindfolded, and
he got on his knees a luffin, and I tied a
towel rouod hie eyes, and then I turned
him arouod and made him get down on
his hands also, then his back was right to
ward tho closet door, and I put the buck
beer sign right against pa’s olothes. Ho
was a laffin all the time, and said wo boys
were fall of fun as they made ’em, aod we
told him that it was a solemn occasion, and
we wouldn’t permit do levity, and if he
didn’t stop laffin we couldn’t give him the
grand bumper degree.
Then everything was ready, and my
churn hud his hand on the oloset door, and
some kyan pepper in the other hund, and
I asked pa id low bass tones if ho felt as
though he wanted to turn back, or if he
had Dcrve enough to go ahead and take
the degree. I warned him that it was
full of danger, as the goat was loaded fur
bear, aod told him he yet had time to re
trace his steps if he wanted to. He said
he wanted the whole business, and we
could go ahead wilh the menagerie. Then
I said to pa that if lie had decided
to go ahead, and not (o blame us for the
consequences, to repeat after me the fol
lowing : “Bring forth the Royal Bumper,
and let him Bump!” Fa repeated the
words, and my chum sprinkled the kyan
pepper oo the goat’s moustache, aod he
sneezed once and looked sassy, and (hen
he see the lauer beer goat raring up, and
he started for it, just like a cow catcher,
and biatted. Fa is rale fat, but he knew
he had got hit, and he grunted, and said :
‘AVhot you boys doin’?’ aod then the goat
gave him another degree, and pa pulled
off the towel and got up aDd s'arted for the
stairs, and so did (he goat, and tna was at
the bottom of lhe steps listening, and when
l looked over the bannisters pa and ma
and the goat were all in a heap, and pa
was yelling murder, and ma was screaming
fire, and the goat was blatting and sneez
ing aud butting, aud the hired girl came
into the liail and the goat took after her,
and she orossed herself just as the goat
struck her avd said : “Holy mother, pro
tect uie!” and wout down stairs the way
we boys slide down hill, with both bauds
on herself, aod the goat rnred up aud blat
ted, and pa and ma went into their room
and shut the door, and (l>eu my chum and
uie opeoed the front door and drove the
goat out. The minister, who cornea to
see tna three times every week, was just
riDgiog the bell, aud the goat thought he
wanted to be nishiated, too, and gave him
one for luck, and theu weut down the side
walk, sneezing and blatting, and tho min
ister came in the parlor aud said he was
stabbed, and theu pa came out of his room
with his suspenders hanging down, and
he didn’t know the minister was there, und
he said cuss wotds, and ma cried and told
pa lie would go to perdition sure, and pa
said he didn’t cure, he would kill that kus
sid goat afore he went, and I told pa the
minister was in the parlor, and lie aud ma
went down and said the weather was pro
pitious for a revival, and it seemed as
though au outpouring of the spirit was
about to be vouchsafed to his people, and
none of them sot dowu but ma, cause the
goa.' didn’t bit her, aud while they was
talking relidgin with their mouths, and
kussin the goat inwardly, my chum aud me
adjourned the lodge, and I went and stay
ed with him all bight, and I haiu’t been
home since. But I don’t believe pa will
lick me, cause he said he would not hold us*
responsible for the consequences. He
ordered the goat hissclf, aud we filled the
order, don’t you sec? Well, I guess I will
go and sneak in the back way and find out
from tho hired girl how the land lays.
She just happened to get in at the wrong
time. Good-by, sir. Remember und give
your goat kyau pepper in your lodge.”
As the boy went away aud skipped over
the back fcocc, tho grocery muu said to :
his brother Odd-Fellow, "If that boy don’t
beat the deuce, I never saw ono that did. ’
The old man ought to huve him sent to a
lunatic asylum.”

riitNli Aft«r narriacc,
Odo frequent cause of trouble in mar
ried life is a want of openness iD business
mattnrs, A husband marries a pretty,
thoughtless girl who has been used taking
no moro thought as to how she should bo
olothed than the lilies of the field, fie
begins by not likiog to refuse BDy of her
requests. He will not hint, so long as ho
can help it, at care in trifiing expenses; he
does not like to associate himself in her
mind with disappointments and self de
nials. And she, who would have been
willing enough, in the sweet eagerness to
please her girlish love, to give up any
whims or fancies of her own whatever,
fells into habits of careless extravagance,
aod feels herself injured when, at last, a
remonstrance comes, flow much wiser
would have been perfect openness in the
beginning ! ‘We have just so much mon
ey to spend this summer. llot shall wa
arrange matters thus or thus?’ was the
[ question I heard a very young husband
| ask his still youoger bride not long ago,
I and all the womanhood in her answered to
this demand upon it, and her hglp at plan
ning and oouuseliog proved not a thing to
be despised, though hitherto she had “fed
upon the roses, aod lain among the lilies
of life " lam speaking not of marriages
that are no marriages where Venus has
wedded Vulcan because Vulcan prospered
at his forge->-but marriages where two
truo hearts set out together, fur love’s sake,
to learn the Icsjods of life, aud to live to
gether till death shall part them- Ad 4
one of the first lessous fur them to learn is
trust each ether entirely, The most
frivolous girl of all the rosebud garden of
gkls, if she truly loves, acquires something
of womaDljoess from her love, apd is ready
to plan and help and make her small suc>
rifices fur the general good, 'fry her, and
you will see. — Our Continent,

WheD I was a \ouog man I speDt sev,
erul years in the south, residing for a white

repaired to court to get excused. Qn pty

Tiuijo Ayitotor,
A gentleman who spent a portion of the
month of October in the town of Winne
peg, Manitoba, says that the thermometer
frequently registered several degrees be-,
low zero. Hut so groat is t|ie buoyancy
of the climate and the purity of tlie at
mosphere in this metropolis of northwest
ern Canada that littio inconvenience is
felt from the cold. A stranger, however,
is apt to suffer from his inexperience. He
was walking, he says, on the street one
day, and feeling very comfortable, when a
citir.cn came up to him, and slapping him
on the shoulder exclaimed:
yer nose is frig.” And he found that t!;;s
was actually the case. He noticed aftcr=
ward that people walking in the streets
were in the habit of frequently sjappipg
their noses aud ears to keep up the circu
lation of those parts.
Uncapping A llit-vss Suei,l.— On last
