The couple go back hand in hand rejoicing. The whole performance is then recommenced; but the second time, instead of only one nobleman, two noblemen advance, and the rhyme is gone through again, ending at last in another companion being induced to join the little band of noblemen. Thus the game is carried on, until in the end all have gradually been won over to the opposite side.
Sister.—A girl of fifteen might make many pretty things for a boy of seventeen. A band for the inside of his hat, embroidered with his initials, a pair of worked suspenders, a pincushion for his pocket, a little case for his letters, or a watch case shaped like a horseshoe, to hang over his bureau, would each or all please him, we are sure.
We would call the attention of the C. Y. P. R. U. this week to "The Pyramids of Egypt" and to "The Canoe Fight." Then, for the benefit of the boys, there is an article on "Trout-Fishing," in which they will find full directions as to the best methods of capturing the speckled beauties that inhabit our babbling brooks and shady forest streams.
