 *.f ^-'H -m H :;^M YOUNG FOLKS. The face in the Looking-GIasi. BT JOSEPHINS PDLLABO. Thft little Mamie, icaroely three yeua old, D mlt near the prairie, where the winds bio w cold. In a log cabin very plain and neat. With kitchen, parlor, bedroom, all complete Within one room. And o'er the mantel-shelf Hnng the amall looking^laes. And 8o it came to pass The little maid had never seen herself. She knew not if her eyss were brown or bine, Or how her hair along her temples grew. Or if she looked like mother when she smUed, Or was, in t\ct, like any other chi}d. No vanity there was abont the lass For, oh, how could there be, I'd like to know, when she Had never gzsd within a lookiog-glasa Her liitle sister Rene, jnst her ace â€" As pretty as a picture, ill engage â€" Took sick one day, and could not raise her head, And grew «o white And mamma, weeping, said. In words that Mamie scarce could under- stand. That Rene'd gone away From their lude home to play With happy angels in the summer land. One day a visitor by love beguiled Took from her trunk a toy to please the childâ€" A small hand' mirror, that in its embrace Would surely frame the little maiden's face And Mamie turned the curious trinket o'er And laughed alqnd with glee To see how merrily The brighj flecks danced on ceiling and on floor. Then all at once she turned it so her gaze Fell on its polished surface. With amaza She started, then a closer scrutiny gave As^thouijh one had arisen from the grave. And, "Bene Renel" screamed with passion- ate stir. Thinking, poor little lass. That from the sea of glass Her sister had come back to play with her. The Princess on the Glass Hill. Once upon a time there was a King who was called to go upon a long journey. Before he went he called the Prince his son to him and said " See, my son, here are the keys of the whole castle. You may go wherever you choose, excepting only in one room into that you must neither step nor peep." Then ' the King rode away, and the Prince had the castle to himself. For seven days he rambled up and down and hither and thither, until he had seen everything excepting what was to be found within those four walls, and he never longed for anything so much in his life as to know what it wjks they held that he was not to see. " What harm can there be," said he, "for me to take jast one little peep into the room through the crack of the door I will let nothing either in or out, and my father will be none the wiser." So he talked to himself, and then it was not long bf-fore he set oat to do what he had been saying in his heart. Well, he opened the door the smallest crack in the world, and psepsd in. There he saw a bar- rel, bound all round with six stout iron hoops as thick as your finger and as broad as your palm nexc he saw a fountain of clear water that bubbled up into a stone basin and last of all he saw a marble table with a silver cup upon it. The Prince looked all abont the room, and when he saw nothing more than the barrel, the fountain, and the silver cup, he »pened the door and estered. Then of a sudden he heard the sound of weak voice coming from the barrel. •' Dear Prince," said tiie voice, "will yon act give a poor body a drink who has not bad a taste of water for seventeen years " Now the Prince was a kind-hearted lad, and when he heard the voice in the banel ask for nothing more than a drink of water, and that in snob a poor weak little voice, his heart grew soft within him for pity. He took the silver cup from the marble slab and filled it at the fountain that bubbled up into the stone basin, and poured the water into a hole in the top of the barrel. Then he was about to leave the room aTMU, when the voice began speaking once SBore. " Give me another drink oi water " it cried and now ic was loud and harsh, like the blare of a trumpet. •* No," said the Prince, " I will give you no more. I have done what I should not Ikava done already." " If you do not," cried the voice, " I will tell your father, as soon as he comes home, how you have come here to this room wherein he forbade you to enter." Who a the Prince heard these words he put on his thinking-cap. "Come," said he, " I had beuter give the poor soul another draught of water it can done harm, and it will perhaps stop his mouth." So for the second tims he filled the cnp and poured the water is to. the barrel. Crick, crack, b«ng! crick, crack, bang! The six iron hoops that bound the barrel tumbled to pieces, and out jumped a great black creature like a man, covered all over with shaggy red hair. He said not a word, Vnt snatcning up the Prince, he jumped out ef the window, and ran off faster than the wind. Across hill and valley he went, and ever stock and stone, until he came to a great gloomy cave in the very midst of a dark forest; there he stopped, and set the Prince upon the ground. 'Here is my home," sud he, " and here you shall live with me and serve me." And soit was as the black man said: the Prinoe lived with him and served him. Every day the black man went abroad into the forest, and whilst he was gone the Prince had to sweep the save clean, and make the fire, and cook the supper against his master came home in the evening. So passed seven years, in which time the Prince grew a great stoot fellow, sueh as ' would be hard tn matoh betwixt the four rivers but in all that time he had seen neither a thread nor hair of any living soul like himself. Bat one day a geat longiDii oame npon him to get faaek into the trtwld again, and to live amoaig fdk dl his own kind. ' Why shodd my msstnr keep ne here to baOd fires and eook food for luaar' sUd the Prinoe to hImseU. I will have a talk with him to-a^t isheftlia^e«us home, and see wltt^be has to^fj6*^tiw»dl." So sayiag, be cat a good stovt clal^ ami when his master came back to the cave at evening-time neither fire nor sapper was ready foi^iiim, and there stood the Prince with the club in his hand. " Why is there nfl^^re or tf/gp^V "" the4)lack man. "Becuse," said ^Prinoe, ** I un tired of Uring ntere in the f«rest slone, and mean to serve yen no longer." When tie Prince's master heard wliat the Prince said he laughed, and raising his staff he gave the lad a blow that tumbled him heels over head under the table. Bu!; this cake was too big for him to swallow, and what he gave the Prince the Prince paid back again so soundly that his master's jacket smoked like a chimney afire. " Stop stop " bawled he a^last. 'And so I will," said the prince, "U you will let me go, and show me' the way out of the forest." So off they set together, and after a while they came to the edge ot the forest where the green fields began, though it was a long journey before they came there. "Listen " said the great black man, be- fore they parted company "who gives me a sprat, I give him a herring." He plucked two hairs from his head and gave tiiem to the Prince. "Here," said he, "whenever you wuh for anything, come hither and blow one of these hairs into the air. I will not be too far away to help you." Then he put his hand into his pocket and drew out an old tow wig full of chaff and grass-seed. "Take this also," said the wild black man, " and whenever you put it on, not a soul in the world will know that you are yourself." Thereupon the two parted company, and the one went one way, and the other the other. The Prince put on the wig, and that moment his own mother would not have known him bad she seen him, for he was ro longer a tall noble hero, but a poor, lean, tattery, dusty, pale-faced lad, not fit or clean enonph to sit in the kitchen corner. Well, by-and-by, after the Prince had footed it eJong for a great while, he drew near to a great town, in the midst of which stood a splendid castle built all of marble, wherein the King of that country lived. Up he went to the castle, and knocked at the door of the kitchen. And did they not want a handy lad abont the place that oonld turn his hand to anything! â€" tjat was what he wanted to know. But soch a poor lean, tattery creature had never come to that town before, so that the cook was for clap- ping the door in his face, only tha: he hap- pened to remember that they wanted a bay over yonder to clean out the stables and feed the pigs. So that was the best that the Prince could find to do. And as no one wanted to have such a looking creature about the house, he had to sleep under the kitchen steps on a litter of straw. Bat early one morning, before anybody was stirring in the castle, the lad went to a cistern that stood in the court-yard back of the housa, and laying aside his wig of tow, began bathinc; his bosom and face in the water.

They peeped into ever^ corner, and final- ly went away, with the air of woaU-be ten- ants who say "they will look elsewhere;" but in half an boor they retnrned," and the inmate of the cottage, wishing to furnish them with a residence all their own, hung an old coffee-pot on a tree near tiut door, tying it securely, that the wind might not shake it. The wrens presently discovered it, entered, and were apparently delighted. It was evi- dently just the sort of honse for which they had been looking. The next day, its famishing was quite finished. They had lined it with bits of feathers, shreds of wool and downy vege- table growths, and it was soft as velvet. Then, one egg appeared, and then another, and the little dame began sitting, while her husband, perched on a branch above the coffee pot, poured forth song after sonar, fly- ing away at intervals to bring her a fat worm. When the little ones oame, both father and mother began to feed them. They usu- ally started from the nest together, bnt sel- dom retU' ned at the same time. If the little man came first, he soon grew impatient, and after delivering his offerins;, would begin calling her, loudly and music- ally. Evidently her name was " Titty-tee," for he cried "Titty-tee! ah. Titty-tee!" repeating the note unnl she arrived. Like the hero of "Never too late to mend," he could not bear to enter his lonely dwell- ing until his wife appeared. â€" â€" â-  His Portrait. Artists do not always devote brush and pencil to the portrayal of the beautiful sometimes those potent instruments are turnad into weapons which may reasonably be feared by evil-doers. A ready lumd and brain are possession, likely to come into play under any cirounutanoes they may even cope successfully with brute force. The following adventure istoldbyMolready, the artist One bright moonlight night, in my stndent dayr, I was walking in a street on the out- skirts of London, little better than a conntry lane, when a min oame out of the shadow thrown by a large tree, and, prodncins a pistol, adiressel me in the nsnal robber fashion with " Your watch and money, please I" " I am a poor artist," said I. "See, these are my drawings. I have no watch I have never been able to buy one." " Your money, then, and be quick 1 " All this time I was watching the fellow's face it was very white, and I think he was more frightened than I was. I gave him all the silver I had abontme he said "Good- night," civilly enoagh,and started off towards London. I made the best of my way home, and before I went to bed, I drew the man's face very carefully.. The next morning, I went to Bo w S treet with my drawing, hoping it might be recognized by the officers there, but no The face, they said, was new to them. " If you will leave the likeness here, sir,, " said the chief detective, " we may perhaps, come across the person it represents." That very soon happened, a fortnight had scarcely passed before I was called on to identify the man who had robbed me. He had been arrestedfor murder,and was easily convicted. The Aditondacks of Canada. " The Adirondacks of Canada," is the name given by Adirondack Murray, who made the Adirondacks of New York famous, to the Lake St. John region. Lake St. John lies abont one hundred and forty miles back of the city of Qaebeo, or abont one hundred and twenty nulesuptheSagnenay. The region in the vicinity of the lake forms a sort ot basin among the mountains which riielter it, and make it possible to grow grain and roots in its rather scanty soil with nnccess. Perhaps no class but the frugal and indastrioas French-Canadian would regard it as a desirable farming country, while millions of acres of fertile land are lying idle in the North- West. To the emigrants from the snrbnrbs of Qnebecithas famished what seem- ed to them prosperous homes, enabling them tobehappyand independent. Between Qae- beo and the lake lies a mountainous coun- try full of lakes and rivers, where hnnters and fishers and campeis-out can be as happy as the day is long, if beautiful scenery, fresh cool air, healthy exercise a;nd good sport can make a man happy. It is the region of the ottinaniceh or landlocked fresh water salmon and of the big speckled trout. Through this country the Quebec and Lake St. John Riilvay has been built, and is now ranning At the lake are two Indian reserves, the inhabitants of which, owing to their hitherto isolated position, have escaped the diseases and vices which resolt frcm in timate relations with certain classes of white people. It ii to be hoped that the Qaebec Government wUl take steps to prevent these Indians being supplied with intoxicating liquors, or being nuide vicims of in any way by the whites. The Bsv. Father Armand is, it will be seen, very apprehensive of evil to his charge as a result ot the opening up of the region by railway, and the establisUxig of tourists' hotels. At present they are a heal- thy, simple, devont people, bu^ as Father Armand says, drink will undo everything and " means sore death to the whole race.' fflinalo Fnn.

Ladies of the highesb birth and breeding, says Clement Scott in a Londm letter to Ameriea^ women admitted everywhere in society, are not above trading in millinery and femaie knick-lcnaoks, not because they are in any necessity, hot for the mere eake of doing something fast and originaL Some set np bonnet shops, others start millinery estabhshments, old /onriosity stores have attractions for others, and, .under fancy names, such as Mme. Isabel or Mme. Madeleine or Mme. Rosalie, they buy and sell and tout and barter without the slight- est oomponotion or loss of social caste. In some oases it is even worse than that. The lady of fashion opens a bonnet or millinery establishment on the first floor her hus- band cccnpies the ground flat as a betting place, with telephones and telegraph wires laid on to the first racing clubs bo the women come to feast on the millinery and to get into debt, and the men spend the afternoon smoking cigars, drinking brandies and sodas and gambling to their heart's content. Ladies of title and fashion, who have good incomes of their own, whose daughters are well married to men of wealth and position, who have no pressing necessity to take up trade, except to provide themselves with luxuries, take to buying and selling merely 10 piss away the time. They avoid the shop difficulty by setting up their stores and exhibiting their gMds in the little back drawing-room, to which they invite as customers all their friends and relatives, who look in for afternoon tea. They employ their male friends as agen's in the bonnet business, giving them an understood commission, and they do not hesitate to tout for customers at all the dinner p:urties, and dances and "at homes" to which they may be invited. Only the other day I was lunching with a very old friend of mine, and the servant intenrupted us while chatting afterward, and announced the arrival of a pile of milliners' boxes con- taining samples of goods of every descrip- tion. My friend hM met the fashionable milliner out the evening before at a party, and weakly promised her custom, and, be- hold I on the next day she was askeid to redeem her pledge and to give a helping hand to the tradeswoman. This u no end to the touting andbegging and cadging that goes on. Women who do not mind boring their friends for orders for bonnets and mantles, and who, having a certain knack of their own, or a half -starved milliner up in one of the back attics, charge two or three guineas for a bonnet-shape stuck over with artificial flowers and ribbon that cost them a few shillingB, or make 60 or 70 per cent, profit out of a child's hat, are quickly followed by men who, over the social dinner talk, try to push cigars or wine, either on their own account or on commission for friends in the city, in fact "shop" is the order of the day and it is difficult to pass a quiet, social hour without being victimized.

Infanta are buried summarily, without coffins, and the young are inteired with few rites but the funerals of the aged, of both sexes, are elaborate in proportion to the number of the descendants and to their wealth. When a childless married man dies, his widow may perform all the duties of a son towu'd him, may remain in his house, and may adopt children to rear as his heirs and as worshipers of his family manes. If his widow purposes marrying again, a young male relative may, with the consent of senior members of the clan, un- dertake the services expected from a son, and may inherit the estate of the deceased. When one is abont to die, he is removed from bis couch to a bench or to a mat on tiie floor, because of a belief that he who dies in bed will carry the bedstead as a burden into the other world. He is washed in a new pote in warm water in which a bundle of incens, sticks is merged. After the washing, the St and the water are thrown away together, e is then arrayed in a full suit of new clothing, that he may appear in hades at his best. He breathes his last in the main room, before the largest door of the houses that) the departing soul may easily find it' way out into the air. A sheet of spirit- money, brown paper having a patch of gild- ing on one surfaoe, is laid over the upturned face, because it is said that, if the eyes are left uncovered, the corpse may count the rows of tiles in the roof, and that in such case the family could never build a more spacious domicUe.
