Even those poor little sooty imps that used to spend their days in sweeping the dark, winding chimneys of smoky London had one grand holiday, and that was on the first day of May. How they must have looked forward to this one day of the year when they could dress up and caper and danee, and shout in the open air, with the "lord and lady" of their own choosing, and the evergreen moving garlands of their own making. , I never saw lint one of these May-day merry-makings of the sweeps, bnt it was so comical that I thought and talked of it for many days thereafter, and I think their walking "green man," as I called their garland, is the funniest of all. It is a < great cone six or seven feet in height, of holly and ivy framed upon hoops. It goes up smaller and smaller to the tops where it is tied with gay- colored ribbons, aod decorated with bunches of flowers. ±t the very top thertfwill be a crown made of flowers, or a little flag flying. All down thereicles t>f this evergreen hillock are knots of ribbon and bunches ... Bound it, as it goes from street to street, the little sweeps caper and dance. Their hats and jackets are trimmed all over with colored gilt paper, and flowers stack in wherever they can put one, wb^le their black legs (for they like to leave them sooty for this day's fun) are colored in figures with Dutch pink, or white chalk, and some of them leave their faces black that they may orna­ ment them in the same way.

Yes, there was a pretty man inside, and this was something as he looked to my young With soot and dust. Still the brave litljte^takiw toil lip and up through all those winding ways until, as he sees daylight &t last, you hear a faint shont. You run out to see the sooty little imp perched upon the top of the tall chimney, waving his brash, and, if he has breath enough left, shouting, "Sweep O! * , Did you ever hear the true story of a little chimney-sweep, whe was sweep­ ing the chimneys Ajjtndel Castle, and was lost? It was a hot day in summer when his master sent him up ^nto those tall ehimneys, and when noontime came, and he had not appeared at the top, and they had called and searched, but could find nothing of him, they Were all ter­ ribly frightened, and even his master begaii to think that he had been suffo­ cated in some of those winding flues. Then they went from one drawing- room to another, and through all those splendid chambers, shouting up the chimneys, until they came to one of the handsomest of the "state chambers." There within the curtains of rich oximson silk that surrounded the bed, And under the whitest and finest of sheets, with the silken coverlet over him, lay fast aoleep the lost little "Sweep OI" It seems that the poor little fellow had got completely lost in those great chimneys leading one into another, and had come down frightened, and hot and tired, into this very comfortable bed­ room, and then the bed looked so tempt­ ing, and it was all so quiet, that he laid his little black head upon the soft pil­ low, and was soon sound asleep. They were all so glad to find him that I feel sure the kind Duke that lived in that grand old castle would not allow his master to punish his little sweep for, taking a nap in a Ducal bed.--Youth's Companion.

The " lord " is generally chosen from some other profession than that of chimney-sweepers, and is splendidly dressed' in cocked hat, trimmed with red and yeHow feathers, laced coat, em­ broidered waistcoat, silk stockings, large knee bookies, Mid cane .with a shining knob. " The lady " is usually a boy in girl's dress, which is as gaudy and bedizened as my lord's, but, instead of a cane, she carries in her right hand a brass ladle When " Jack-in-the-green" stops, they dance most elegantly around him, while all the little sootikins make sweet music by striking their brushes and shovels together ! ^ Then my lord and lady, bowing, and courtesying to each other, with cocked hat and brass ladle in hand, and all the sweeps with their sooty shovels, go xound to the spectators- " Smallest do­ nation thankfully received!" and the silver and pennies they drop into the ladle and shovels make a pleaa- f mt • jingle in the ears of the little sweepers. , . ;; But, I am sorry to say, their greedy -taskmasters get the lion's share of these Hay-day offerings, and to-morrow his Montesuma'a Itmii. Master Montezuma had two teachers, the priest and the military professor. They gave him enough to study. There was arithmetic; he learned how to make figures. A round, blue dot stands for one. Five of them make five, 6nd 00000-0 (five and one) is sir, and in that way it runs up to ten. If he want­ ed to say "twenty " he made a flag, and for forty he made two flags. Just imagine such a multiplication table as this: Five tidies four is one flag. Flag times flag is one plume. Flag times plume is one purse! Let's see; a purse, then, would equal 8,000. Yes, and, if he wanted to write 4,000, he would draw only half a parse. All the examples in their • arithmetic : were worked by such tables as these. >Then there were lessons in time. He had to learn that five days make a week, four weeks niake a month, and eighteen months make a* year; and, as* a}i that footed up only 365 days, they threw in what they called the five un­ lucky days that belonged to no mouth, to fill up before they commenced a new year. And then he found another ar rangement for doing what we do with our leap-year, for once in fifty-two years they pu$ in twelve and one-half extra days, which is something like set­ ting the clock ahead when you find it is too slow by the town bell or the fire alarm. He learned that this kind of calendar had been in use a long time, and was the result of careful study and calcula­ tion by the wise priests of the olden time; and,, when he wanted to know how long, he counted up the bundles of reeds which represented centuries, and found that it had been in use over 400 years.

The marine max&n, " Obey orders if you break owners,-was strictly heeded by a land-lubber.

Burghardt, Chicago, who had been en­ gaged to engrave the image. On its ar­ rival in Chicago, it was moved to Burg- hardt's barn, and two men at onoe set to work upon it--one, Edward Sale a German; the other an American named Markham. After the stone cutting was finished, the figure was subject to long and patient rubbing with sand and water, which produced the water-worn appearance so often cited as incontro­ vertible evidence of extreme antiquity. The pores of the skin were carefully imitated by carefully picking the entire surface with leaden hammers faced with needles, giving the peculiar "goose flesh" which puzzled so many. There still remained an appearance of fresh­ ness which was finally obviated by bathing with writing-fluid, and after­ ward washing with sulphuric acid, giv­ ing the desired appearance of antiquity. Packed in sawdust, the giant was shipped to Union, N. Y. In the dead of night, and amid torrents of rain, the iron-bound case was unloaded, and hid­ den under a pile of chaff on the farm of a relative of Hull's, where it was buried a few days later. Over a year elapsed, and then Hull wrote. to Newell (the owner of the farm; to "find the giant," when, in accordance to a prearranged plan, several men of the village were hired to sink a well on th« Spot. Sud­ denly the shovel of one of the diggers struck a hard substanoe, which, on clearing away, proved to be a masBive stone foot. " Jerusalem/' said he, "it's a big Injun 1" The greatest excitement prevailed. On the following Monday dozens of scientific men came down. An offer of $10,000 for the giant was made, and refused, and finally Newell, acting under Hull's order, sold a three- fourths interest to half a dozen citizens of Syracuse for $30,000. Learned pro­ fessors pronounoed it a statue of great antiquity, vfliile others declared it was a petrified man. For a while the Cardiff Giant yielded an income equal to the interest on $3,000,000, aid as higfe #s $25,000 was offered for one-eighth in­ terest. Ralph Waldo Emerson pro­ nounoed it beyond his depth, "astonish­ ing and undoubtedly ancient." Cyrus Cobb, the artist, declared that any man who called the giant a humbug "simply declared himself & fool.** But in a few months the proofs of the fraud were made apparent,'•ad the Cardiff Giant was consigned to popular oblivion. c hand. "Now, Barney," said mine host, " mind you serve every man with soup, anyhow." " And 111 do that same,* said the alert Barney. The soup came on, and Barney, after helping all but one guest, came upon the last one. " Soup, sir? * said Barney; " No soup for me," said the gent. " But you must have it," said Barney; " it's the rules of the house." " Who cares fo> the house? " oriedthe guest, highly exasperated. "When I don't want soup I won't eat it. Get along with jrou!" " " Well," said Barney, with solemnity, " all I can say is just this; ifs the regu­ lation of the house, and not a drop else yell get till ye finish the soup!" The traveler then gave in, and the soup was used.

The best parlor is sacred to neatness and solitude. "The mistress and her confidential maid visit it once a week, for the purpose of giving it a thorough cleaning and pqtting things to rights, always taking the precaution of leaving their shoes at' the door, and en­ tering devoutly in their stocking feet. After scrubbing the floor, sprinkling it with fine white sand, which is curiously stroked into angles, and curves, and rhomboids; after washing the windows, bhing and polishing the furniture, and putting a new bunch of evergreens in the fireplace, the window shutters are again olosed to keep out the flies, and the room carefully locked up till the revolution of time brings around the weekly cleaning day." The people of Broeek always enter their houses by back doors, like so many burglars; and, to insure the front door from unholy approach, the steps leading to it are re­ moved, never to be > placed there but when three great occasions open the mystie gate, and these are births, mar­ riages and funerals; so that to enter a Dutchman's house by that way is indeed an "event" ^Jpct of its production was foreseen by two persona, the poet's -wife and Mark Lemon, thiPfeditor of Pwkbh.

He begged the editor to con­ sign it to the waste-paper basket, if it was not thought suitable for Punch, as the author was "sick of the sight of it." The poem was signed Tom Hood, and was entitled "The Song of the Shirt." It was submitted to the weekly meet­ ing of the editors and principal con­ tributors, several of whom opposed it* publication as unsuitable to the pages of a comic journal.

"The Old Oaken Bucket" Was written fifty or more years ago by a printer named Samuel, Woodworth. He was in the habit of dropping into a noted drinking-saloon kept by one Jftilloxy. One day, after drinking a glass of brandy and water, he smacked his lips and declared that Mallory's brandy was superior to any drink he had ever tast- -No»» taken. There was a drink which in both our estimations far surpassed this.1 " What was that ?" increduloqsly asked Woodworth. J "The fresh spring water we used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in the well, after returning from the fields on a sultry day." « "Very true," replied Woodworth, tear-drops glistening in his eyes. Returning to his printing offioe, he seated himself at his desk and began to write.

Her learned counsel knew well that unless he oould get the sympathy of the "Squire" his client would have a "lost cause." He therefore labored hard in applying the "sympathetic process." He gushed with eloquence of great warmth in re­ ferring to his client's rights, until finally great tears came trickling down his cheeks, at the sight of which the Jus­ tice (who was a very tender-hearted in­ dividual) was also moved to tears. This satisfied the attorney that the sympathy of the court was in behalf of the lady, and he closed his argument by saying, "It does my heart good to believe that this honorable court, in the exercise of sound discretion, will not allow the rights of a pure and no>ble lady to be trampled beneath the cloven feet of a soulless corporation;" and tdok his Seal, as confident that he would get a judg­ ment as ever poor Miss Flite was.

PATDTO theowpeirrPemtngwitbthe gu-fitter. r Jacques has studied, the effect pro­ duced by the motion of the air in an auditorium upon its aoousfcio qualities, using for this purpose the Baltimore Academy of Music. Having proved by direct experiment that variations in density in the air transmitting 'Sound not only decrease materially the inten­ sity of the sound, as Tyndall has experi­ mentally showii, bttt also actually mod­ ify its form, and thus give rise to con­ fusion and indistinctness, it naturally followed that in public halls where such currents of air really exist in abundance there tnust be much difficulty from this cause. In the building above referred to the whole supply of fresh air is ad­ mitted at the back of the stage, is there warmed, then crosses the stage horizon­ tally, passes through the proscenium, and diagonally upward toward the roof, aaroe* the auditorium, in one large cur­ rent, and goes out partly through the roof, and partly through the registers in the gallery ceilings, into a ventilat­ ing tower over the chandelier, whose heat is the motive power. About 15,- 000 cubic feet of air per minute are thus drawn through the house. The acous­ tic qualities of, the house, being excep­ tionally perfect, are ^scribed largely to the condition of the: air within it. To test .the question, experiments were made'by stationing persons in various parts of it during a performance, and miring them simply to note the compar­ ative "ease with which the performers could be heard. At various intervals the valves controlling the circulation of air were reversed, so as to produce cur­ rents. Almost invariably the testimony was that at times, which pro vedon com­ parison to agree with those at whioh the reversals had taken place, the sound was confused and indistinct, and people all over the house were seen to make an effort as il to listen.--'"Editofs Scien­ tific Record,* in Harper's Mmmnm for June. - -- : J •- ""i" - U HIGH UP, In a oertain aristooratid neighbor­ hood Iioridon are sxttmted sohile houses twelve stories high--probably the highest in the world.
