rruui one of these hooks, coiopileil
aftei tho manner of our modern eucy-clopa-Jias,
and thecoiupilation of which
is shown to have been made morn than
2,000 years II. ('., it has been asceitai tied
what has long been supposed, that
Chaltiea was the parent land of astrono
my, but it is fount, from this compila
tion and from other bricks, tbat the
Babylonians catalogued the stars, and
distinguished and numcd tlie constel
lations that form our present zodiac to
how tho course of the nun's path in
the heavens; divided time into weeks,
months, and years; tbut they tlivhied
the week, as we have it, now into
seven days, six being dnys of !alor
and the seventh a day of rbs', to which
they gave a name from which we have
derived our word "sabbath," and which
day, as a day of test from all labor of
rsst from all labor of every kind, tbt-y
observed as rigorously as the Jew or the
Puritan. The motion of the heavenly
bodies and the phenomena of the weath
er were noted down, and a connection,
as 1 have before stated, detected, as M,
de Pei-ville claims to havo discovered,
between tho weather and tho changes
of the moon, They invented the sun
dial to mark the movements of the
heavenly bodies, the watet clock to
measute time, and they" speak in this
work of the spots on the sun, a tact they
could only have known by the aid of
telescopes, which it is supposed they
possessed, from observations that they
have noted down of tho rising of Venus
and tho fact that L&yard found a crystal
lens in the ruins of Ninevah. These
"bricks" contain an account of tho
Deluge, substantially the same as the
narrative in the Bible, except that the
names are different, They discloss that
houses and land wero then sold, leased
and mortgaged, tbat money was loaned
at interest, and that the market gar
deners, to uso an American phrsse;
"worked on shares," that the fanner,
when plowing with his oxen, beguiled
his labor with short and homely songs
two of which have been found, and
connect this very rem o to civilization
with the usages of to-day.
The wall of the brick building at
the southeast corner of Second and
Alder streets is tho newspaper of the
Chinese population. It is the daily
or weekly or semi-occasional Bulletin,
and is perusod with great eagerness
by the almond-eyed heathen when
ever there is a new issae Portland
Standard.

i replied; a sad, almost disgusted ex
pression on her sweet young face.
"What did you auk me for, if you
didn't want me to tell ou. I could
a' lied!" the Uy went on in a stolid
sort of a wsy, and yet with a ring of
feeling iu hia voice.
"No, you couldn't, Johnny," the
cher snsweretl with a anils, "be
cause you promised, you remember,
that you would always tell the truth
to me."
"Well, I didn't go back on it, did IV
"No, Jehnny. Have you any ob
jections to telling how eftsn you have
taken things that didn't belong to youf
"Melao I couldn't remember them
all," the boy replied, "but I never
lifted anything very paitickeler. Oace
when the old woman where I hang out
pit sick, and cried a blue streak for
oranges, and nobody had the money to
buy 'em, I asked the old cove that
kept the grocery store to trust me for
a couplo till the next day. Ho wouldn't
do it, uud that night I stole six from
him "
' Why, Johmijr
"Why didn't h,- I. t me havo 'em,
Ibonf the boy went on doggedly. "I'd
'a' paid him, 'cause I said I would.
A n how, the old woman got wi ll eff
I bem oranges."
"Then you ate not sorry you took
iIimiiiI" the teacher ii.epiired.
"Well, the old OOMM had to have
them oranges, and aomnhody had to get
em for her."
The teacher's face was very grave,
and aa her companion looked up bn saw
the teats in her eyes, a sight which bd
a curious effect upon him.
"D-in't make me tell you any more,
please, ma'am," be said, dropping his
eye, - hi- his face flushed scarlet. 'I
aWl i othiug but a orTscouriug anyhow,
and it ain't NO good to fret about what

"Thrm oranges wr-ia worth f-ur

their feet laat winter ; and a macktrel

tin u a b a-ball that was worth fifty

ber anything elan now."
"Well, John, I shall give you a
.1. ! ar, and I want you to go to those
plaeaa and p. v for all those things."
"1'hen I'll have to own up," the boy
interrupted in his lewilderment, re
lapsing at ouce into slang.
"Wouldn't you feel better to coufess
Jehnny I" the yotiug lady inquitrfd, net a
little troubled at the efl't ot ot her worda.
l'ot- a moment the boy aeenied loat in
thought, and then, lifting a frank face
to bis tempi nion, said: "I ain't Mvor
felt p. i tik -let- bad about any ef them
things 'cept the base ball, and that I
could 'a done without, but if you say
so, Miss I at, I'll give the whole thing
away; oaly as I ain't lifted anything
lately, and don't never mean to again,
they would alwavs suspicion me and
make me out a thief when I ain't no
such thing. Don't you think 'twould
do, ma'am, if I dropped the money in
them places so they'd be sure to find it?
If vou don't think so I'll blow the
whole thing, if it takes me to the
Island."
What a ill yon do, Johnny, if some
body needs bread end oranges, and vou
ha v n't mi v money to buy them with?"
"That's a stickei, ma'am. I dunno."
"And it wouldn't lie strange if some
thing ef that kind were to happen
any dy."
"No, ma'am. That's something
putty gen'rally to pay with the folks I
know."
"Well, Johnny, 1 will tell yen what
to do." the teacher replied. ' Hers is my
card, and when any of join acquaint
ances are m trouble I wish you
would come directly to me, and if any
thing is amiss with yen at any time,
be sure and send a messenger. You
had better oime up to-morrow, any way,
JohniiT. for 1 want to wive you some
e ' w
warm clothe, and thsu it will le easy
for you to find the place next time.
Johnny hung hit head. This kind
ness had overpowered him, arid not a
word could he say.
"I didn't mean to hurt you, Johnny,"
the tender-hearted teacher hurried to
say. "You are willing I should help
you, are you not?
"J guess you had better let me git,
now, Miss Lce," the boy replied
huskily. "You could knock me down
with an eye-winker. You needn't
worry about my remsmberiug all you've
said, but just now, I'm ail broke a".''
" And I can trust you, Johnnyf the
lady inquired.
"it's a wo. nm'um. the lo answered
o
simply.
Miss Lee tucked a dollar bill iu his
hand, and Johnny hurried out of the
building.
It took considerable 'tact and skill
well as time, for the ioy to satisfactorily
manage the business which his teaaher
had provided money for. ror instance
the gj-ocer from whom he had "lifted"
orances had sold out to another man,
and JoltTinv w.as obliged to hunt him
up. He was at last found, poor and
ill, and the boy without a moment's
1 tmrnt
30, 1881.
hesitation confessed the theft and pio
duced the money. "I guoal I can
make it thirty cents," he said, "and
that'll be a little iaterest. If I would
like to gi,ve you five dollars, then yeu
may shoot me for a crew."
The ex-grtcer was so u 'prised at
Johnny's confession and subsequent
generosity that he shook ths boy's hand
heartily and invited him to stop in
again soon, which tho Isd promised aa
heartily to do.
Hy nightfall these "beck debts," as
Johnny naively called them, were all
settled, sod then, after a scanty meet,
Aha 4y started out with his evening
nepers. About a quarter t.. eight be
had sold ent, and then, as fast ss his
feet would carry him, he brrrriod to the
neighborhood of the Acad ay of Muaio
to watch the eople go in i he building.
It was opera night, ami litis waa oio of
Johnny's greatest pleasure; and so,
with hia bsc't to a lamp post, he gave
himself up to the delight of watching
the gay throng. Johnny wondered
what it would bo liko ti drive around
in luxurious carriages and hare plenty
of money to spend on fine clothes.
He thought of the bread and herring
he bad eaten for hia supei . and tried
to imagine what it would be like to
have turkey and cranberry sauce every
day. Kvery Chri Unas Johnny had
turkey and cranberry as uce for his
dinner, and he knew fmm experience
how nice they ware. Ha had onca
ridden in an sme 1 mm wiih a friend
of hie e newsboy- who bad lieen run
over by an espreas wagon, and this
was the nearest approach to a carriage
ride that Johnny had ovof enjoyed.
He wandered, us he watched the
ppy, gaily dresaed .e ..pie, why it
was that some ople ha I alt they
wanted, while others were cold aad
hungry and sometime started to death.
This was not the first time that Johnny
a a a m W
had been perploxed with n.,.-h thoughts,
but they had never ruade h in feel quite
so uncomfortable as on tide occaaion.
He called to mind the warM uuder
olotbing and tidy jacket t.d peats
which Miaa Iee had given him tbat day.
and tried to comfort himself with the
thought that there was oua person in
the world who cared for him.
There had been a heavy fall of snow
that day, and aa Johnny, half abaorbed
with hia thoughts, atarted to eroaa the
street, be saw something sasrkle in the
snow at tho aide of the croasiiig. Tbete

it was au ornament iu h shape of a

were nine atones in ths cro. Dispos

him for "years and years," he told him
self. It puzxled him to know where b
could keep the shiners, for there wasn't
a BOH I among his scquai a lances whom
he dare trust with the secret. Not un

bed, with hia treasure carefully hidoen
among the straw, did the thought occur
that he ought to try to find an owner
for it. Then followed a bard laxttle be
tween the natural honesty of the lad
and hie very natural desire for creature
comforts. The pet son a ho eeaiM wear
a gold thing like that, "cheek full of
shiners," he aaid to him.'l', "must have

Here he was, cold and beogry half the

to be always hungry, if not always cold;
ami here were these hinrr, whi :h j
would set him up in busim -t and give

honestly wai te 1 to help the lot re. Why
should he til d the owner of this creas
when he had n -thing and the owner
everything ? This fight continued un
til it was time for the lad to slait out
for his morning papers. All through
ths busineM part of the fare no hi the
battle still raged, and the newsboy's
thoughts were so occupied with his
new found riches that he alm-t. forgot
to attend te his customers. At about
tea, as he crossed City Hall Park, be
noticed a gentleman in earnest conver
sation with another gentleman, end as
he passed he heard the words diamond
cross epeken. Jehnny sleekened bis
pace and listened.
"The diemenda were all ef the first
water," ihe gentleman eaid. "It was a
present ta my wife from her father, and
she ia terribly cut up at ths lui. I
don'r suppose we shall ever find it."
"Ydu will advertise it, won't you t"
his companion inquired.
"Of course,'' the gentleman replied,
"bnt more than likely it has fallen into
dishonest hsnds, snd nntWs b reward
ia made equal to the value of the dia
monds we shall probably never see
them."
"When the gentlemen separated the
one who was interested in the diamonds
entered the City Hall, and after little
inquiry Johnny discovered that this
gentleman held a very honorable office
in the city department. After finding
this out the lad took a turn around the
Park to think it over sgain.
"Granny Leeds eaid I was a of see tir

If 1 keep these shiners 1 am, u l give
them up I ain't. Well, I ain't" and
with these words en his lips, Johnny
started for the gentleman's office. Noth
ing daunted, he entered and presented
himself at the desk.
"Some ef yon folks have lost some

Johnny's coat was off in a ta inkling,
and with a rip at the stitches ahicb
confined his treasure, be took it out and
put on bis coat again. "I , 'jawe this
is it," he said, handing it to the gentle
man. "I waate 1 to keep them al oners

"Nobody, yor honor, but myself."
"Which would you prefer to do,
Johnny," the gentleman next inquired;
"go into business or go to school V
"Why, I should rather go to school,
ten to one," said Jehnny, "but there
ain't no show for that."
"We will see," said the gentleman
"Will yeu come into my office, Johnny,

tailing to hia eyes.
"I shall want yon to go heme with

"All right," said Johoy, brusLing
away the tears. "Anything u, do iow(

The following Huiiday Johnny went
to the Mission school for the last time,
and in such good clothea that Mie Lot,
hardly knew hiui. The grateful boy
told his teacher what had I.

"I am going away to school to-morrow,
