Wklth 4'hlld will Yon Part wltkl
Which nhftll it be 1 Which shall it be?
1 loukea at John—John looked at we.
(Dear, patfout Joan, who loves me yet
>• well m though my lock* were Jet.)
And when 1 found that 1 muat apeak
My voice seeiued utrangely low and weak.
" Tell me again what Robert said.”
And iheu I, lutaniug, beut ttj head.
" Thla ia hie letter:
••I will give
A house and laud while you shall live
It, iu return, from out your seven
Oue child to me for aye ia giyeu.”
I looked at John's old garments worn,
1 thought of all that John had borne;
Ol poverty, aud work and care,
Which I, though willing. CoU.d not ahare;
I thought of erven mouths to feed,
Of seveu litt'e childrens need;
And then of this.
"Oome, John,” said I,
We'll choose among them as they lie
Asleep.” ho, walking hand in hand.
Dear John and l surveyed our baud.
First to the cradle lightly stepped
Where LlilUu, the baby, eiept.
A glory gaiust the pillow white,
Snftiy the father stooped to lay
Hie rough baud down in luting way.
When dream or whiapar made tier atir,
Aud huskily he said; “Not her, not her."
Wo stooped baaide the trundle-bed,
And one loug ray 01 lamp-light shed
Athwart the ooylsh fhces there
Iu sleep so pitiful and fair;
1 saw uu Jamie's rough-red cheek
A tear uodried. Ere Jvhu could fpeak—
•• He's but a baby, too," said I,
Aud hissed him a we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie's augei lace
Still in his sleep bora sufferings trace,
“ No; for a thousand crowns not him.”
He whispered while our eyes were dim.
Poor Diekl bad Dick! our wayward son—
Turbulent, reckless, Rile one—
Could lit b • spared ? • Nay, be who gave
Bids us befriend him to the grave;
Ouly a mother’t heart can be
Patient euongh for auch aa he;
Aud so said John, “I would not dare
To sand him from her bedaide prayer,”
Then stole we softly np above
Aud knelt by Mary, child of love.
** Perhaps tor bar 't won Id better be,”
I said to John. Quite silently
He lilted np a curl that lay
Across her chsek in willful way,
Aud ah ok his head. “Nay, love; not thee."
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more—our eldest lad—
Trusty and truthml, good and glad.
8o like his father. “No. John, no;
I cannot, will not, let him go."
And so we wrote In courteous way
We could not drive one child away.
Aud afterward toil lighter seemed.
Thinking of that of which we dreamed;
Happy, in truth, that not one face
We missed from its accustomed place.
Tnaukful to work for all the seveu;
Trusting the rest to One in Heaven.

Two l.oaieal Puzzles.
FIRST PUZZLE.
A law student, just ready to graduate,
agreed to give his instructor the proceeds of
his lirst successful cate.
The young lawyer evaded the promise by
refusing to plead a case.
The old lawyer sued the young lawyer for
a breach of contract, and each aue managed
his own case in court.
Said the old lawyer to the judge: “If you
allow my claim to be a good one, then the
money become# mine by your decision. If
you refuse my elnim then my young friend
has won hit lirst successful case, and the
money becomesmineby previous agreement.
1 am, therefore, sure of the money in either
event.”
The young man said to the lawyer: “If
you sustain my defense, then you decide
that 1 need pay nothing. If, on the other
hand, your ruling is against me, then 1 have
not won my first successful case, and there
fore have no debt to pay. 1 am therefore
secure against payment, however this suit
he decided."
Where now is the flaw in these arguments
and which lawyer is the flaw-yer!
SECOND PUZZLE.
A Hindoo woman sat by the Ganges,
watching ’he gambols ol her child.
Suddenly a crocodile seized the lad and
bore him away. The mother screamed,
“Give me back my child.”
The crocodile replied, “I will give you
back your child, if you will tell me truly
what 1 am about to do.”
The mother answered: “You will not
give me back my child; that is what you are
about to do.”
The crocodile replied: “If you have spo
ken truly, then you have decided that I shall
not give you back your child. If you have
spoken falsely, then I am not obliged, under
the agreement, to give back the child. lam
therefore secure against surrendering the
child in either case.”
The woman replied: “If I have spoken
truly, then you must give me back my child,
since you promised it in case 1 spoke the
truth. If I have not spoken truly, then you
must give me back my child in order to
prove that I have spoken falsely. In either
event, therefore, I must receive my child.”
Now, who, under this agreement, is enti
tled to the child?
Cuvier tells us the trunk of the elephant
is composed of forty thousand, or more,
small muscles, interlaced in all directions,
the contraction and relaxation of which
enable the animal to shorten or lengthen
its trunk, and render it so flexible. It is
perforated through its entire length by a
double tube, through which the anirna
breathes and drinks. At the end of the
trunk is a little finger-like appendage,
which serves to pick up small objects,
and also acts as a feeder. With this won
derful instrument, as with a hand, the ele
phant can pick up a needle or tear up a
tree, twist the herbage from the ground,
ar strip the young branches or leaves from
the trees upon which he feeds.

The standard remedies for all disee.ses
of tne lungs are Suhenck’s Pulmonic Syr
up, SSchenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, aiul
wtienck’s Mandrake Pills, and it taken
before tne lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success iu tne treatment of pulmo
nary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordid
matter hi the lungs; nature throws It off
bv an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough
will throw it off, t l - patient has rest aud
the lungs begin to h..al.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup todo this,
Schenek’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s
Sea Weed ionic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructions, relax the gall bladder,
ttie bile starts freely, and the liver is re
lieved.
Sohetiek’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the di
gestion ky toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition! so tuat the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup wilt make good
blood, then the luiiks heal, and the patient
will surely get well it care is taken to pre
vent fresli Cold.
All who wtsli to consult Dr. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth and
Arch, streets, Philadelphia, every Mon
