From the Boys and Girls of the Sonth. TALES OF ROBIN HOOD. Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow. The sheriff of Nottinghamshire, after his din ing and supping with Robin Hood, was fairly mad with rage against the outlaws. He studied day and night how he could revenge himself against them. He rode up to London to see Queen Elinor, the King’s mother, and King Richard's brother. Prince John. He told them of the boldness of Robin Hood and his men, making out by his report they did many evil deeds of which in truth the outlaws were guilt less. Queen Elinor replied with much spirit: It seems to me thou art a craven spirited sheriff. It is thy place to punish evil doers, not to complain of them. Some bolder man had best be put to fill thine office. The law is in force; why didst not push its course against these outlaws ?’ ‘So I would,’ quoth the sheriff. ‘But I can’t catch them. I’ve tried most faithfully to take the varlet and his crew.’ ‘Why dost thou not try some tricking game?’ said Prince John. ‘Put your wit to work, man, and devise some plan to get the outlaws within your reach.’ The sheriff went back home, but the advice of Prince John came into his mind very often; and he pondered over many different designs. At length he thought he had made up one that would surely work his end. He proclaimed a shooting match to be held near the town of Not tingham, assuring all who desired to try their skill, that they could come and go unmolested, it mattered not who he was, for one day he should be held free from all hurt The prize he offered to the best marks-man was ‘an arrow with a golden head, and shaft of silver white. He well knew the oulaw's love of such sports as an archery meeting, and felt sure they would fall into his trap, for he fully intended to have a company of soldiers to arrest them when they started to leave the ground. The news was brought to Bobin Hood, of the intended shooting match as he sat under the forest trees with most of his men grouped around him. ‘Come prepare you then, my merry men; we’ll go your sport to see!' said the outlaw. There was a brave young man near by, called David of Doncaster.’ ‘Master, ’ he said, be ruled by me, and from the greenwood we’ll not stir. To tell the truth, I’m well informed yon match it is a wile; the Sheriff I'm sure, devises this, us Archers to be guile.’ ‘Thy words do not please me David !’ replied his Captain. ‘They sound a little cowardly. Come on’t what will, I’ll try my skill, at yon brave archery!’ Little-John now spoke saying. ‘I’ve a plan for our going, yet not letting ourselves be known to the Sheriff or the company. Our mantles all of Lincoln green, behind us we will leave, and we will wear different colors, and thus can peo. le deceive. One shall wear white, another one red, one yellow, another blue, and thus ar rayed I’m not afraid but that we may go safely.’ This plan was considered a good one, and a good many of the men determined that they would go and see the fun. With bold hearts, when the day for the shoot ing match came, they started out to the Archery ground, and separated from one another and mixed in with the crowd. There were about eight hundred persons in all collected to see and join in the day’s sport. The Sheriff looked about everywhere, but saw no mantles of Lin coln-green and came to the conclusion that none of the outlaws were there. When the shooting came of course Bobin Hood and his men were among those who tried their skill, but in their new dress no one sus pected who these men really were. But they shot so well that some people said: ‘It Bobin Hood was here with all his men to boot, sure none of them could pass these men, so bravely do they shoot.’ ‘The sheriff shook his head and said: ‘I thought he would have been here. I felt sure he would come, but though he’s so bold he durst not before me appear.* This made Bobin quite vexed, and he thought to himself: ‘Thou shall see ere long that Bob in Hood was here.* As the shooting went on, one would hear cries from the bystanders about the different archers, some would say: ‘Look at blue jacket!’ another would cry: ‘Hurra for brown jacket!’ and then another would cry out for the yellow. But there was a man in red that every body admired. And the man in red was no other than Bobin Hood. At every shot he got the highest mark, for his aim was so sure. So the ‘arrow with the golden head and shaft of silver white,’ brave Bobin Hood won, and bore with him, for his own proper right. After the sport was done the out-laws went off home, as they came, one by one. Lest if they kept in a body some one might suspect who they really were. When they were all together in the forest again, they began to talk over their day’s past-time. Said Kobin Hood: ‘ All my care is, how the Sheriff may know certainly, that it was I that bore his arrow away.’ Says Little-John. ‘ My counsel good, did take effect before, so therefore now, if you’ll allow, I will advise once more. ’ ‘ Speak on, speak on !’ said Bobin Hood. ‘Thy wits’both quick and sound.’ ‘Then I advise,’ said Little-John, ‘that a let ter shall be penned, and when it’s done, send it to the Sheriff at Nottingham.’ That’s well advised,’ replied Bobin Hood.’— ‘ But how must it be sent ?’ * I’ll stick it on my arrow’s head, and shoot it into the town, the address must show where it should go, whenever it flutters down.’ This project was carried out, and the Sheriff the letter had, and when he read, it, he was so vexed, he raved like one gone mad. BOBIN HOOD AND THE KNIGB1 OF WEIBSDALB. After this prank the outlaws knew the Sheriff would be very much enraged, so they deemed it best to leave Sherwood for awhile and hide themselves in Barnesdale wood. The band had grown in size until now it numbered a round hundred of as fine archers as were to be found in ‘Merrie England.’ They loved their captain and Little-John dearly, and were fond of one another. Still they were not really happy, for they were not working honestly to ge: their living, and although they were good to the poor they knew it was not right to rob the rich. Most of them hoped when King Bichard should come home,he would grant them a pardon for their misdeeds, and see tbat the monks and nobles should not cruelly oppress them as they had done, and then they intended to live better lives. Ther chief, Bobin Hood himself, always encouraged them to feel in this way, but they all knew while Prince John ruled the Kingdom for his brother, he was as greedy and hard as the Abbot of St. Mary’s himself, and completely ruled by wicked robbers and priests. Little- John was always merry. He said when the time came be intended to lead a different life, but while King Bichard was off at the 'holy wars,’ he thought he did more good scaring the puffed up monks and helping the poor, than a man who crouched by his fireside and paid taxes, and so was kept too poor to help himself or any one else. One day he came to his master Bitting in a sad thoughtful mood. ‘ Master 1’ he said , ‘Dost thou not think, If 'thou wert to eat thy dinner, thy heart would be cheered. Stutly brought in yesterday eve, as fat a buck as a man could wish to see, and George a Pindar, has roasted it rarely.’ ‘I care not for dinner,’ replied Bobin Hood, •without I had company. Now a rich Abbot, a haughty Bishop or a good Knight to dine with me, would help my appetite.’ ‘By our Lady !' quoth Little John. ‘I’ll take Scarlet with me, and it will go hard if soon we do not bring you some kind of a guest 1 ’ Be sure ! said their master, that you do not trouble any hard working man, and good squire or priest, and never molest a woman.’ * None but cowards hurt women, either by word or deed,’said Little-John. ‘We maybe outlaws but no man can prove us cowards.’ Then Scarlet and himself hastened to the high way. It was not long until there came in sight a Knigbt. He rode all alone, and his appear ance was right Borrowful. His dress was care less, the plume in his hat broken, his stockings not tied up, and his eyes looked red, as if he had been weeping. Little-John stepped forward as he drew near, and laid his hand on the horses rein, saying as he did so, in very kindly tones. ‘ My master asks you to do him the pleasure to dine to-day with him, under the green-wood.’ ‘Who is thy master?’ Asked the Knight, although with the air of a man who did not care where he went, or what he did.’ ‘ Bobin Hood is his name, doubtless thou hast heard of his fame.’ ‘ Yes, and although he is an outlaw, and kills the King’s deer, he must have a good heart, for I have heard he was good to the poor.’ ‘ Come then sir Knight,’ said Scarlet, ‘ and dine willingly, *1 would be a churl to refuse without reason so kind an invitation, but I am sorry company.’ The two outlaws, led the horse through the path into the forest, to where their master wait ed for them. When Kobin Hood saw them, he went forward, and courteously welcomed hiB guest. Of course he saw the woe-begone look of the Knight, but affected not to notice it; and presently dinner was announced, and they sat down to a good dinner of wild game ; both fowl and deer, fish and bread, and wine, white and red. After they had eaten, Bobin Hood, asked the Knigbt how he liked the dinner. ‘ I have not seen so good a one,’ replied the Knight, ‘in many a weary day.’ ‘If you like the fare,’ quoth the outlaw, ‘you will not grudge paying us well for it.’ ‘I have but ten shillings,’ returned theknight, ‘and that wilt poorly pay the reckoning. ‘Little John,’ said Bobin Hood, Took in his bag and see if he speaks truly, I verily think so, but we know rogues sometimes wear honest faces. If he says what is so, instead of taking from so small a store, we had better a id to it.’ Little John went to the little coffer buckled to the knight’s saddle, and found in it barely ten shillings. ‘Tell me,’ said Bobin Hood, ‘how you, a no ble knight, came to be in such a sorry plight. Thou art well born, I warrant from thy mein.’ ‘Fora hundred years,’replied the knight, sadly, ‘my ancestors have owned the broad acres belonging to the barony of Wiersdale. But now, alas! I will have to see them pass into other hands. My only son, in a fair fight, killed a knight of Lancashire. To pay his bonds I pledged my lands to the abbot of St. Marys. I hoped by now to have gathered from my fields and sold grain to have paid the money. But a blight fell on wheat, rye and barley. My son is wiih king Bichard far away, and cannot help me in my strain, and I must sell castle and lands to raise four hundred pounds.’ ‘Have you no friends to help you in your straight?" asked Bobin Hood. ‘None on earth. My help must come from Heaven. In better days,’continued the Knight, with a sigh. T had friends, but since misfor tune has befallen me, they pass me far by,’ ‘God has sent you a friend in me,’ said the little outlaw, solemnly. ‘Go, Little-John to our treasury, and bring thou here four hundred pounds, to meet this good Knight's need.’ Presently Little-John returned with the money. ‘Master,’ he whispered, ‘the Knight’s olothes are old and thin, not a merchant in England has as much fine cloth as thou hast.’ ‘Get for the Knight,’ said Bobin Hcod, ‘such a measure of stuff as thou sees’t fit’ Scarlet laughed when he saw how liberally Little-John chose out rich array, saying— ‘It did not cost us much, eh, Little-John? So we can afford to give liberally. I think if thou art going to dress the Knight in such gay attire, I think our master should furnish a bet ter horse for him to ride.’ ‘ Thou art right Scarlet,’ said Bobin Hood, who had come to where they stood. ‘ Get the grey palfrey, and see he is oaparisoned prop erly.’ ‘I will give the saddle,' said Much, the Mil ler’s son. ‘I’ll give him a pair of boots.’ Said Scarlet. ‘What cans’t thou give Little-John?' asked the master. ‘ A pair of gold spurs. And so good a Knight should have a serving man, by your leave, good master, I'll attend him to the abbey. I may be able to learn some news or turn a new trick to serve our trade. ’ ‘As thou choosest Little-John,’ said Bobin Hood. ‘ But one thing we have forgotten, a new cap and plume for our guest.’ ‘I have that in my stores,’ said Stately, ' and will bring it pres ently.’ The Knight of Weirsdale could scarcely speak his thanks, when he understood how gener ously the outlaws had dealt with him. ‘ My name he said is ‘ Sir Bichard Lee, Knight of Miersdale, this day year by our Lady’s help I will return your loan. Where can I find you at then ? ‘We will hold our tryst under this same green-wood tree,’ said the chief outlaw. As the Knight rode away, booted and spurred, on a handsome horse, and a fine looking 'Squire like Little-John following him, the outlaws felt their day’s work had been a good one, and went off early to their forest beds,’ feeling hap py in the consciousness, that through their means, one heart had been eased of a burden. Why There is No Rain in Peru, In Peru, South Amerioa, rain is unknown. The coast of Peru is within the region of per petual southeast trade winds, and through the Peruvian snores are on the verge of the great South Sea boiler, yet it never rains there. The reason is plain. The southeast trade winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike the water on the coast of Africa. Travelling to the northwest they blow obliquely across the ocean until they reach the coast of Brazil. By this time they are laden with vapor, which they continue to bear along across the continent, depositing it as they go, and supplying with it the sources of the Bio de la Plata and the southern tributaries of the Amazon. Finally they reach the snow-capped Andes; here is wrung from them the last particle of moisture that a very low temperature can at tract Beaching the summit of that range they now tumble down as cool and dry winds on the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting with no evapo rating surface, and no temperature colder than that to which they were subjected on the moun tain tops, they reach the ocean before they be come charged with fresh vapors, and before, therefore, they have any which the Peruvian climate oan extract. Thus we see how the tops of the Andes become the reservoir from which are Bapplied the rivers of Chili and Pern. Cfyeoa.

Remedy for Insect Rites and Stings. ’When a mosquito, flea, gnat, or other noxious insect punctnres the human skin, it deposits or injects an atom of an acidulous fluid of a poisonous nature. The results are irritation, a sensation of tickling, itching, or of pain. The tickling of flies we are comparatively in different about; but the itch produced by a flea, or gnat, or other noisome insect, disturbs our serenity, and, like the pain of a wasp or a bee sting, excites us to a remedy. The best reme dies for the sting of insects are those which will instantly neutralize this acidulous poison de posited in the skin. These are either ammonia or borax. The alkaline reaction of borax is scarcely yet sufficiently appreciated. However, a time will come when its good qualities will be known, and more universally valued than ammonia, or, as it is commonly termed, ‘harts horn e.’ The solution of borax for insect bites is made thus : Dissolve one ounce of borax in one pint of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool. Instead of plain water, distilled rose water, elder, or orange flower, is more pleasant. The bites are to be dabbed with the solution so long as there is any irritation. For bee’s or wasps’ stings the borax solution may be made of twice the above strength. In every farm honse this solution should be kept as a house hold remedy. The Christian Union gives the following as a sure remedy for stings. At this season it is well to know of a sure remedy for the stings of wasps, bees, hornets and similar insects. For the sake of the children, as well as yourself keep a box of cut tobacco near at hand, and be snre that all the family know just where to find it, and how to use it without a moment's delay. The instant any one is stung, wet some cut to bacco, and lay it instantly on the spot. Hold it there a few moments, and the cure is com plete. "We do not know as it is a perfect cure, when not applied within a few minutes after being stung. It would probably relieve, but it might not care after the poison has got into ths blood. But we do know that an immediate application is almost an immediate care. My little grandson was stung on the cheek a few days ago, and ran to his mother screaming with fright, and pain. A spoonful of tobacco was wet and applied, and in a few minutes he was ready for play. This excitement had hard ly snbsided- when another child stepped una wares upon a hornet’s nest, and was fearfully stung. Tobacco was wet and applied to the nu merous spots, with the same magical result. This should be generally known, for stings are terrible for children, from the pain, as well as from the fright that comes with it, and some E ersons are seriously poisoned by them. The ouey bee leaves the sting iu the wound, and that must be removed before relief can be had. The Antecedents of Disease. Among the antecedent* of disease are inertness n the circulation of the blood, an unnaturally attenuated condi tion of the physique, Indicating that the life current is defiejent in nutritive properties, a wan, haggard look, inability to digest (he food, loss of appetite, sleep and strength, and a sensation of unuatural languor. All these may he regarded as among the ludicia of approaching dis ease, which will eventually attack the system and over whelm it, if it is not built up and fortified in advance.
