A
BURMESE potter, it is said, became envious of the prosperity of
a washerman, and to ruin him, induced the king to order him to
wash one of his black elephants white, that he might be “lord
of the white elephant,” which in the East is a great distinction.
The washerman replied that, by the rules of his art, he must have a
vessel large enough to wash him in.
The king ordered the potter to make him such a vessel. When made,
it was crushed by the first step of the elephant in it. Many times was
this repeated; and the potter was ruined by the very scheme he had
intended should crush his enemy.
WINGS.
WINGS.
I
F I only had wings like you!” said Addie Lewis, speaking to her
pet bird as she opened the cage door.
“Chirp, chirp!” answered the bird, flying out and resting on Addie’s
finger.
“Ah, birdie, if I only had your wings!”
“Wings!” spoke out Addie’s mother. “You have wings,” she said, in a
quiet way.
Addie looked at her shoulders, and then at her mother’s. “I don’t see
them,” she said, with a little amused laugh.
“We are using them all the while,” said Mrs. Lewis. “Did you never
hear of the wings of thought?”
“Oh! That’s what you mean? Our thoughts are our wings?”
“Yes; and our minds can fly with these wings higher and farther than
any bird can go. If I read to you about a volcano in Italy, off you go
on the wings of thought and look down into the fiery crater. If I tell
you of the frozen North, you are there in an instant, gazing upon icy
seas and the wonders of a desolate region. The wings of an eagle
are not half so swift and strong as the wings of your thought. The
very king of birds would perish in regions where they can take you in
safety.”
SQUANKO.
W
HAT a name for a dog, auntie!”
“Name! Why, Frank, when you hear the whole, like the
Queen of Sheba, you’ll say the half has not been told you.”
“Why, didn’t you find Squanko quite enough for one dog?”
“His full name,” said my aunt, loftily, “is Squanko Guy Edgerly
Patterson.”
She rolled out these resonant titles with due gravity, and Squanko,
turning his bright eyes from one to the other, solemnly wagged his
tail, as if to signify approval.
I was a New Hampshire boy, and this was my first visit to the city.
My experience with dogs previously had been that of a country boy
bred up among sportsmen. I had known several highly-trained
hounds, and famous bird dogs, though my ideal of canine perfection
was that marvel of sagacity, the shepherd dog. Still, my first love
among dogs had been a noble old hound, who, though sightless
from age, would follow a rabbit better than any young dog was
capable of doing. The scent of powder brought back his lost youth.
Let him hear the loading of a gun,—or the mere rattle of a shot-
pouch was enough,—he would break out into the wildest gambols,
dashing hither and yon, in an ecstasy of delight.
Running headlong against rock or tree, as he was liable to do, only
tempered his zeal for a moment; the next, he was tearing along
more madly than ever. Dear old Trim! I had shed a boy’s hot tears
over his grave on the hill-side, and I was not ashamed of it either.
I felt a tenderness for Squanko. The yellow spots which marked his
white fur reminded me of Trim’s. Remembering the accomplishments
of my lost favorite, I ventured another question.
“What is he good for, aunt Patterson? Can he hunt?”
“Good for!” ejaculated my aunt—“good for! I couldn’t keep house
without him.” A certain fine disdain curled her lip; she had utterly
ignored my second question. Completely quenched, I was fain to
accept Squanko at once, hunter or no hunter.
And we were, on the whole, pretty good friends, in spite of the
battles we fought, nearly every evening, for the possession of the
lounge. It made small difference to Squanko if I was beforehand
with him. Though quite a large dog, he would creep up behind me,
slowly insinuating himself between me and the back of the lounge.
Then, watching his opportunity, he would brace his feet suddenly,
and more than once the execution of this manœuvre sent me rolling,
ignominiously, upon the floor.
The intruder ousted, his majesty would settle himself for a nap, not
heeding in the least the shouts of laughter which his triumph never
failed to evoke.
On all occasions (excepting only nights, when he slept tranquilly on
a rug in my aunt’s room) he felt it his duty to keep watch and ward
over the premises. His favorite perch, in sunny mornings, was in the
window of my aunt’s chamber. If by any chance the white curtain
had not been looped up, as usual, leaving the window sill exposed,
Squanko went down for help, and by whining, pulling his mistress’s
dress and similar arts, persuaded her to go up and remove the
obnoxious curtain. Carefully seating himself upon the sill, which was
all too narrow for his portly figure, he would fall to work, by barking
furiously at every person—man, woman, or child—who presumed to
pass up or down the street. Most fortunately for him, the window he
occupied overlooked the lawn at the side of the house, instead of
the pavement in front; for on several occasions his fury became so
ungovernable, that he barked himself sheer off his foundation.
Catching a glimpse of his whirling figure, my aunt rushed out, armed
with a bottle of liniment; and while she bathed his imperilled legs,
she strove also to soothe his outraged feelings. For the time all
vanity seemed to have been dashed out of him; but comforted by
sympathy and caresses, he again mounted his perch, and barked
with undiminished ardor.
At table, my aunt always occupied what is termed an office chair.
Being quite small in person, a portion of the great leather cushion,
at the back, was left vacant. Squanko rarely failed to possess himself
of this vantage-ground, and squatting thereon, peered wisely over
his mistress’s shoulder, as if studying the problem of what portion of
the goodly meal before him might safely be counted on as a
remainder.
Yet Squanko had his grievances. One was, not being allowed the
freedom of the garden. If he went out, my aunt’s careful hand
hastened to link the long chain, attached to his house, to his collar.
She had a chronic fear of his running away.
Squanko utterly disdained to occupy the bed of straw which graced
his dwelling, but climbing to a board which surmounted the ridge of
the roof, would lie upon that narrow ledge, ready to pounce upon
any one who ventured near.
Missing him one morning, both here and on the window-sill, one of
the wee Johnnys of the neighborhood, who stood in wholesome awe
of Squanko, put his curly head in at the doorway.
“Where’s Squanko, Mrs. Patterson?”
“Gone to walk.”
“Gone to walk,” chuckled Johnny, bursting with merriment. “That’s
funny—a dog gone to walk!”
Squanko’s walk was rarely omitted; generally it was performed under
my aunt’s tutelage, when she went a little way with her husband,
whose business took him to the city every morning. If, for any
reason, Mrs. Patterson let her husband go to the cars alone, she
sent Squanko off by himself, with strict orders to return speedily,
which direction he had never failed to obey.
Besides his chain, Squanko had one other trial to endure—a
thorough ablution once a week. Bathing was his aversion; still, he
had been obliged to submit to it from his puppyhood, and Mrs.
Patterson was inexorable. A dog who was not faultlessly clean could
have no place in the arrangements of her household. In and about
her dwelling all was spotlessly neat. Everything susceptible of polish
shone, from the window-panes, and the great cooking-stove, to
Squanko’s white coat. In vain were his protests, his indignant snorts
and sneezes, his incipient growls; into the tub of warm water he had
to go, while the scrubbing-brush performed its office upon his fat
sides. Having been duly washed and wiped, he always indulged in a
vicious shake or two, producing a sort of mist in his immediate
vicinity. After being wrapped in his own blanket shawl, he was
placed on the lounge, to repose while drying. His luxurious nap
completed, he would emerge from his retirement, his short white
hair shining like satin,—as clean a playfellow as one might desire.
His temper,—not usually of the best,—after one of these baths,
would remain sunny for hours.
But Squanko—like many another spoiled darling,—was not content
with the home where he was so petted and indulged.
As his master opened the door to go into the garden, one evening,
Squanko rushed past him, and made for the street. In vain our
hurried search, up and down, in the dark spring night. In vain his
mistress’s frantic calls. If Squanko was hidden in some nook hard by,
and heard her entreaties, his heart must have been harder than a
stone. That hasty exit was the last we ever saw of him. Night after
night my uncle, coming home from the city, inquired for Squanko,
only to receive the sad reply,—
“No, Roy! We never—never shall see Squanko again.”
Soon a fat, brindled puppy was installed in the vacant place. Day by
day he grew, both in bulk and in the affections of the family. My aunt
named him “Trouble.” All the devotion which had been Squanko’s
was straightway lavished on him.
When, in process of time, the tidings were borne to my aunt’s ears,
that Squanko, forgetful of former friends, was leading a jolly
existence in a neighboring town, she only replied, with a toss of her
head, “Let the ungrateful imp stay there. Trouble is worth a dozen of
him!”

“THE SWEET ONE FOR POLLY.”
OLLY had expected to be very happy in getting
ready for the party; but when the time came she
was disappointed, for somehow that naughty
thing called envy took possession of her, and
spoiled her pleasure.
Before she left home she thought her new white
muslin dress, with its fresh blue ribbons, the
most elegant and proper costume she could
have; but now, when she saw Fanny’s pink silk,
with a white tarlatan tunic, and innumerable
puffings, bows, and streamers, her own simple
little toilet lost all its charms in her eyes, and
looked very babyish and old-fashioned.
Even Maud was much better dressed than
herself, and looked very splendid in her cherry-
colored and white suit, with a sash so big she could hardly carry it,
and little white boots with red buttons.
They both had necklaces and bracelets, ear-rings and brooches; but
Polly had no ornament except the plain locket on a bit of blue velvet.
Her sash was only a wide ribbon, tied in a simple bow, and nothing
but a blue snood in the pretty brown curls. Her only comfort was the
knowledge that the modest tucker drawn up round the plump
shoulders was real lace, and that her bronze boots cost nine dollars.
Poor Polly, with all her efforts to be contented, and not to mind
looking unlike other people, found it hard work to keep her face
bright and her voice happy that night. No one dreamed what was
going on under the muslin frock, till grandma’s wise old eyes spied
out the little shadow on Polly’s spirits, and guessed the cause of it.
When dressed, the three girls went up to show themselves to the
elders who were in grandma’s room, where Tom was being helped
into an agonizingly stiff collar.
Maud pranced like a small peacock, and Fan made a splendid
courtesy, as every one turned to survey them; but Polly stood still,
and her eyes went from face to face with an anxious, wistful air,
which seemed to say, “I know I’m not right; but I hope I don’t look
very bad.”
Grandma read the look in a minute; and when Fanny said, with a
satisfied smile, “How do we look?” she answered, drawing Polly
toward her so kindly, “Very like the fashion-plates you got the
patterns of your dresses from. But this little costume suits me best.”
“Do you really think I look nice?” and Polly’s face brightened, for she
valued the old lady’s opinion very much.
“Yes, my dear; you look just as I like to see a child of your age look.
What particularly pleases me is, that you have kept your promise to
your mother, and haven’t let any one persuade you to wear
borrowed finery. Young things like you don’t need any ornaments
but those you wear to-night,—youth, health, intelligence, and
modesty.”
As she spoke, grandma gave a tender kiss that made Polly glow like
a rose, and for a minute she forgot that there were such things in
the world as pink silks and coral ear-rings.
“THE SWEET ONE FOR POLLY.”
She only said, “Thank you, ma’am,” and heartily returned the kiss;
but the words did her good, and her plain dress looked charming all
of a sudden.
“Polly’s so pretty, it don’t matter what she wears,” observed Tom,
surveying her over his collar with an air of calm approval.
“She hasn’t got any bwetelles to her dwess, and I have,” said Maud,
settling her ruffled bands over her shoulders, which looked like
cherry-colored wings on a stout little cherub.
“I did wish she’d just wear my blue set, ribbon is so very plain; but,
as Tom says, it don’t much matter;” and Fanny gave an effective
touch to the blue bow above Polly’s left temple.
“She might wear flowers; they always suit young girls,” said Mrs.
Shaw, privately thinking that her own daughters looked much the
best yet, and conscious that blooming Polly had the most attractive
face.
“Bless me! I forgot my posies in admiring the belles! Hand them out,
Tom;” and Mr. Shaw nodded toward an interesting-looking box that
stood on the table.
Seizing them wrong side up, Tom produced three little bouquets, all
different in color, size, and construction.
“Why, papa, how very kind of you!” cried Fanny, who had not dared
to receive even a geranium leaf since the late scrape.
“Your father used to be a very gallant young gentleman once upon a
time,” said Mrs. Shaw, with a simper and sigh.
“Ah, Tom, it’s a good sign when you find time to think of giving
pleasure to your little girls.”
And grandma patted her son’s bald head as if he wasn’t more than
eighteen.
Thomas, Jr., had given a somewhat scornful sniff at first; but when
grandma praised his father, the young man thought better of the
matter, and regarded the flowers with more respect as he asked,
“Which is for which?”
“Guess,” said Mr. Shaw, pleased that his unusual demonstration had
produced such an effect.
The largest was a regular hot-house bouquet of tea-rosebuds,
scentless heath, and smilax; the second was just a handful of sweet-
peas and mignonette, with a few cheerful pansies and one fragrant
little rose in the middle; the third, a small posy of scarlet verbenas,
white feverfew, and green leaves.
“Not hard to guess. The smart one for Fan, the sweet one for Polly,
and the gay one for Pug. Now, then, catch hold, girls;” and Tom
proceeded to deliver the nosegays with as much grace as could be
expected from a youth in a new suit of clothes and very tight boots.
“That finishes you off just right, and is a very pretty attention of
papa. Now run down, for the bell has rung; and remember not to
dance too often, Fan; be as quiet as you can, Tom; and, Maud, don’t
eat too much supper. Grandma will attend to things, for my poor
nerves won’t allow me to come down.”
With that Mrs. Shaw dismissed them, and the four descended to
receive the first visitors.
