SELF-SEALING FRUIT JARS,
ONLY A BOY.
Only a boy, with his nose and fun, ^
The veriest mystery under, the sun;
As brimful of mischief and wit and glee
As ever a human frame can be,
And as hard to manage as—what f—ah lae!
'Tis hard to tell,
Yet we love him well.
Only a boy, with hu fearful tread,
Who cannot be driven, but mu*tue led;
Who troubles his neighbor^,’ dogs and cals,
And tears moro clothes, and spoils more hats,
And loses more Elites, and tops, and bats,
Than would stock s store
For a your or more.
Only a boy, with bis wild, strange ways;
With his idle hours on bis busy days;
With his queer remarks and bis odd replies,
Sometimes foolish and sometime* wise,
Often brilliant for one of his size,
Asa meteor hurled,
From the planet world.
Only a boy, who will be a man,
If nature goes on with her first great plan;
If water, or fire, or some brutal snare
Conspire not to rob us of this our heir,
Our blessing, our trouble, our rest, oar care,
Our torment, our joy I

Little Cherry’s Mission.
Little Cherry, homeless and forlorn,
wandering about the streets of New
York one cold Deoemher day, did not
9eem of much importance to anybody.
Site had begged a few pennies, and
bought some hard cake at a corner stall;
she had stood over the grating of res
taurants and warmed her chilled limbs,
comforting herself with the savory
steam rising frosa the room below.
And tiow night had come. The shop
windows sparkled with light; the rows
of lamps on every corner twinkled like
stars. Veop'e hurried home to pleas
ant houses and warm suppers; Cherry
stood and shivered until she was tired,
then walked a block or two, and paus
ed to hang about some brilliant show
window.
She could remember how happy she
had been in her mother’s time. She
had borue a warm affection towards
Old Granny, as they called her, be
cause she had been so kind to this dear
mother in her last illness. Even now
Cherry’s eyes filled with tears thinking
it over. And then she had lived with
*Gr nny,’ who went about the streets
„• h a handorijaii, while Cherrry sang.
J iTaw her Granny was dead. She
had staid a day or two with a good-na
tured Irishwoman, but her seven chil
dren were as many as she could feed.
And on Saturday some one was coming
to take her to Ward’s Island, where
homeless children were eared for.
Chi-try didn’t-waut to go. She con
fused it somehow with Blackwell’s Is
land and a prison, and the thieves-that
she knew weut thqce. She bad never
stolen so nf.u«h as. a penny in all her
life. And so she had run away that
morning, and here she was a wanderer.
She glanced, into the window,thinking
it all over.. And something else came
to her in a vague, childish way—the
pleasant talk she had heard at Sunday
school ; how God cared for every little
child, and helped each one to be strong
.and good, not to lie, nor steal, nor
swear ; and now that each one in turn
had some mission to perform. Was it
M US ? Ther.e didn’t seem anything for
i her but to afiarve,. or perish with the
•cold, or—go to Ward's Island. No
wonder she shivered and drew her thin
shawl closer around bs-sbsttJdera.
•Julian Exass,. walking briskly along,
just gave her & glance. Sis bright
eyes-and rosy cheeks looked so nice,
his. wnriD: coat was- buttoned, up, to a
round, dimpled chin,, and* his early
chesnut hair fell over his ears. Such
a brisk, healthy spiritedt fellow 1:
He entered, and Cherry saw him talk
ing energetically tp *dia storekeeper.
Then the light of his eyes went down
suddenly, and the corners of bis month
lost their smile. Cherry felkSP- SQjxy.
for him!.
‘The lowest is twelve dollars;’ and
the man placed some carious boxes
down on the countec. ‘We baxfcbad,
cheaper ones, hot they were oot» satis
factory—continually getting out of or
der. This is a very good article; let
me wind it up.’
Such music as it made !. J.ulian lis
tened with a throbbing heart, Hie wan
ted it so for little pale Alice at home,
whose only change now frpm.tbe bed
was being bolstered up in a great arm-
Qhuiv She loved music so dearly 1
And if be could do anything to make
her happier this little while!. He towel-
lowed down a great sob, and. winked
away a tear.. A.sturdy boy oft fifteen
—today was bias birthday. People
After th£ last note died awuy, he
went up to her. She looked wistfully
at him out of her large blue eyis.
‘Who taught you to sing?’ b< asked
directly.
'No one.'
‘Where do you live?’
‘I haven’t any home now. I did live
with Granny, but she’s dead. .She went
round with an organ.’
‘What’s yonr name ?’
‘Cberrv.’
‘A rather blue cherry,’ he sail; un
less it’s the end of your nose.’ And
then be gave such a warm, honest, smile,
that Cherry smiled too; albeit the tears
ran over her pale cheeks.
'Wbtore are you going to-night?’
'I don’t know.’ She glanced furtive
ly down the street.
Julian looked into the window again.
Not at music-boxes this time- He was
thinking, in a sort of crude, b >yish fash
ion, of this poor child, and the other
little one at home. Just the same age,
may be. What if he took her home?
She could sing to Alice, and am use her;
she could save his mother many steps,
thereby giving her more time for sew
ing. It would cost something to take
care of her, and they were poor; but
then his eight dollars would last a
while. And since he couldn’t have
the music-box —
‘Do you know any other songs ?’ he
asked.
*0, lots; ever so many. I wish I
could sing ’em for you. You look so
kind.’
‘I have a little sick sister at home.
Mother hasn’t any voice, and Alice is
ao fond of music! Would you like to
go and sing to her ?’
•O, so much f But to-morrow will
be Sunday, and I don’t know many
Sunday tunes.’
‘We’ll manage that. Poor Alice! I
wish she could run about like you; but
I wouldn’t want her out here in the
cold. Come along.’
When they turned into a darker by
street, Julian wanted to put his arm
around her to help keep her warm ; but
be did not have the courage. How
this frosty air must blow through her
tbiu clothing 1
Qoe more corner and they were there.
Through a long dark hall, up a flight
of stairs. The light from the open
door almost blinded Coerry, and the
warmth was so, nice t
‘I’ve brooght home a poor little girl,
mother, whet must have beeD taken to
the Statioa-bou-e, for she hasn’t any
friends. A ad I want Alice to hear her
sing.
Alice raised her- head from the pil
law. Fair and golden, and Cherry’s
was fair and golden when, she pulled
off the old hood. You might fancy
they looked alike, save that Alice had
a bright redspot in her cheek, while
Cherry’s were blue,as Jiilian had said

Infallibility Dogma
1. If any one should say that the
Episcopal Chair of the Roman Churcb
is not the true and real infallible chair
of the Blesssed Peter, or that it has not
been divinely chosen by God as the
most solid, indefectible and incorrupti
ble rock of the whole Christian Church,
let him be anathema
2. If any one should, say. that there
exist in the world another infallible
chair of the truth of the Gospel of
Christ our Lord distinct and separate
from the chair of Blessed St. Peter, let
him be anathema.
3. If any one should deny that the
divine n.agisterium of their chair of
Blessed Peter is necessary to the true
way of salvation for all men, whether
unfaithful or faitnfui, whether laymen,
or bishops, let him be anatherqpf
4. If any one should say that each
Roman Pontiff, legitimately elected, is
oot by divine right, the successor of
Blessed Peter, even in the gift of the
infallibility of magisterium, and should
deny to any one of them the preroga
tive of infallibility for teaching the
church the word of God pure from all
corruption and error, let them be an*--
thema.
5. If any one should say thaE gwr--
eral councils are established by God in
the church as a power of feeding the
divine flo^k in the word of faith supe
rior to the Roman Pontiff) or equal to
him, or necessary by divine institution
in order that the magisterium of the
Roman B.shops should.be presrved in
fallible, let him be anathema.
How to Use Wealth.—Doutts was-
a wealthy London banker. His widow
—a second wife—became Duchess to*
£t. Alans, who died in 1837 and left a
step grand-daughter, Miss Burdett
Coutts, at the age of twenty-three, the
such times;.but be bad beoa.doioga lit
tle over work, andisaving up bis mon
ey to buy a new music-box for Alice.
He bad only eight dollars,,and it would
.take so long to earn the rtst iiLtbis-alow.
Jnliaa walked out to ^b^or. WhaLj 09. G<?d car* ftp o»
They
_ wanned and fed h«*. She
thawed into a charming sunniness; she
sang some wonderful ballads, and made
the room ring with the music of her
[voice. Alice drew leag breaths of en-
joyraenL She told them her story,
and o£ her own dear mamma, who had
first called her Cherry. Mrs. Evan’s
tears fell silently on her work.
When both gisls badi been dismissed
to bed, Julian related how be had been
saving his money for the music-box.
‘And I thought we’d have a little birth
day feast over it,’ he said; ‘but now I’ll
give it to you. It will help to take
care of Cherry for a while. If I was
only a man, mother; but boys seem
such great useless things, earning so
little, and wanting so much.’
His mother kissed him for bis birth
iday. It was all the gift she had.
They kept little Cherry. She grew
round and rosy, at.d deserved her name.
She didierrands, swept the house, and
was so useful that they wondered how
they had ever managed without her,
always bright^singing like a bird, and
foil, of tender care for A1 ice. The sick
obildi was so happy that they hardly
noticed how much weaker she grew..
And. at. lasti she lay in her mother’s
arms, waiting peacefully until the angel
of Godicame and took her up to heaven.
Poor little- Cherry!. This seemed
harder than even mamma’s death, so
long ago. And now that Alice was
gone where other voices would.sing to
iher d»y. and. night, no one needed her.
Of. if the world* wasolt qpite so wide
! and dreary!. So she crept about with
her sad, and silent faoa, and asked mute
questions with, her pitiful.eyes.
‘Mother,’ Julian said;, one night,
‘Have youAhonght about Cherry?. The
poor cbildliabreaiungibe&baartj
‘She loved. Alice so’ the mother re
spond edi.
- . - ‘I know ih. And Pdbn^ftelaa if
gererally received presents instead, at I uauldiever part with her. I’ll werk
richest heiress in England. There is
no doubt she is still, for the bank busi
ness at ‘Coutts,’ ever increases. She
has persistently declined all offers of
