one Of the Toledo hotels, suffering
little waiter and the black cook were at
swords points, and the only end for
which Jack, the waiter, lived was to pes
ter the cook. A few days since, when
the air was schorching, and flies in the
dining room were more plenty than can
didates at free democratic convention,
word was sent 10 the cook that Jack
wanted him. He hurried up with
swell, sab, what do you want!' "Why,

The Largest Eagle KNOWN.

On the Sd Of June. Mr.. Cobb, of Ala.
while the Presidents California message
was under consideration, said that he
would not occupy the time of the House
by speaking, but that he would write his
speaking, and gave notice that he would
print his speech. This he did, few
days afterwards, and we now quote an
extrac, to give our readers an idea Of the
largest eagle on record:
"Do not" he asked, sat this appal-
ling moment, hear the eagle, the bird Of
liberty, cry out and say,'l have seen lau-
rel after laurel gathered; | have heard,
the words liberty, victory, victory, rev.
erberating over all the land! | have
seen our stars and stripes wave. have
seen the citizens of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts
Vermont and other northern States, min
gle with the citizens of the sunny south
Of the Carolinas, Georgia, the Old Do
minion, and their southern sisters, moi
in strife against. but in defence of each
other. / have seen acquisition after ac-
QUESTION made through their joint efforts,
land here comes the grand climax, y
until can now place my feet upon the
Gulf Of Mexico, flap my wings in the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and dip my
bill in the chrystal streams of the Co.
lumbia.

Fidc,ity or the Dog.

A man named Stevens owned an .di-
nary looking large black dog. One day
in the spring of the year. Mr.. Stevens
little son, six years old out, accompa-
MED by the dog, 10 carry small basket
of food 10 his father, who was boiling
sugar in the woods not far from the
house. In the evening as the father re-
turned TO his home alone, the mother
asked, "Where is Edwin He did not
know, he had not seen or heard him,
since he left home. The agony of the
parents cannot be described. The coun-
try was then new and an unknown bro
ken wilderness stretched around. All
that kindness and sympathy could, was
done TO recover the lost child, but it was
not until the fifth day Of his absence,
that his lifeless body was found.
He was lying upon the wet leaves, be-
side log which was half imbedded in
snow; and, close by the stiffened corpse.
crouched the nearly fanished and stupc-
fed but faithful dog! Wild beasts had
prowled arouad, venturing within few
PAGES OF the body they coveted, but the
brave dog had sacredly preserved the re-
mains Of his beloved friend from their
desecrating fangs. TO be laid by gentle
hands In quiet resting place!
1t was several days ere the faithful
animal appeared as he had done before
the mourniul occurrence, and during the
whole five years that he lived aflerward
he never heard the name of Edwin pro-
nounced, without falling instantly on the
ground as if deprived Of power TO stand,
and moaning piteously. A year after
little Edwin's death, the remains of the
basket he had carried, and his knife stick
ing in tree, were found at considera-
BILE distance from the spot where the
body had lain. proving that he had wan
dered far and wide, till overcome by fa-
tigue and overlaken by darkness he had
lain himself down 10 die. In all of his
wanderings the dog had attended him
and would have died by his side, had he
not been discovered and removed.
This is only one among a thousand
instances, that have been, and might be
recorded, of the fidelity of the dog
1t is well to recall them TO mind in these
day IS, when men become rabid through
fear that dogs may, at some future time
become SO.

INCREASE OF CATHOLICISM IN ENG
LAxD.-The Philapelphia Herald states
that from statistics recently published, il
appears that fifty years since the num-
Der of Roman Catholics in England was
$4,000, or one sixiy-third Of the entire
population. II is now reckoned at one
million, or one-ffieenth Of the popula-
ton. The number Of Catholic church
es built in England in each decade, is
sixteen from 1900 to 1910; 20 from
1910 TO 1920; 80 from 1920 TO 1890:
90 from 1880 to 1910; and IA from
1910 to 1850, nearly as many having
been built during the last Ten years as
were erected in the previous forty. The
churches recently built, moreover, are
stalled 10 be more spacious and costly
than those of the previous period, and
many OF them vie in magniicence and
splendor with the ancient cathedrals.-
These statistics show that in Scotland
there were but $4,000 Roman Catholics
in 1879, and that now there are 100000,
or about one-fifleenth Of the population.

knowledge is its own exceeding great
reward. It's not the gift of college,
particularly. II is what the mind produ-
.ces whenever il acts. Great schools are
chiefly appliances for the lazy, to furnish
substitutes for knowledge oy which to
make their way in the world. A youth
who has a noble thirst for science, is not
SO much beneftedby a'sliberal education
as he is apt TO imagine that he will be-,
before trying il. If your parents are
rich, and have nothing better to do with
their money, lei them board you at Cam
bridge or Yale for four years. But if
they are poor. laboring people, stay
with them and labor. But don't the less
strive for liberal education. Be liberal
in supplying yourself with books and
time. Journey on foot and study nature
and men. Ask questions of everybody
and everything.
Thus doing, you will probably acquire
more satisfactory and useful knowledge,
and what is more, sounder character and
firmer health--you will be more of a
man than if you distress your parents to
have knowledge put into your mouth
with pap-spoon. 1t is thus that the
creates. and best men are made in every
country.

MANNERS OF You've LADrEs.-In e.

MANNERS OF YouNG LADIEs.-ln en-
dsayoring TO avoid every thing like dis
play, young ladies especially, should be
careful not to fall into the other extreme
that Of prudery. There is more sim
cerity if there be less piety. in the con-
duct Of really virtuous woman than
there is in that Of prude; and some de-
gree Of freedom, so far from being incom-
patible with the strictest virtue, is one Of
its principal privileges. If a lady is
obliged to receive company ea dishadille.
it is sign Of her good breeding if she APP
pears perfectly at ease and makes little
or no apology for her appearance. A
person who changes her manners with

BY MRS. l.. o. ABEL.

oh, / do love thee, Autumn,
For thoughts that thou dost bring!
love thy plaintive Melodies
love thee more than Spring.
Thy sunlight has richer CLEAN,
A calmer, brighter glow
Upon the dying things Of earth,
Like transient smiles of wo.
] love the deep, the wailing sound
OF wind, of wood, and rill,
For mem'ries of the past they bring,
And all my bosom fill.
love tosee the falling leaf
read there many line.
OF what has been, and what will come
To me in future time.
Hove to see our own sweet birds,
With more than human care,
Against COLD and wint'ry doom,
Thus early to prepare.
And then to see the ripened fruits,
In clusters on the tree,
Types of good well spent life,
Ripe for eternity.
The harvest houris almost past,
Yielding its bounteous store;
love'to think twill come--'twill last
Till .sTime shall be no more"
That though on earth is written change,
Still there are certain laws.
AS fixed within their destined range,
And changeless as their CAUSE.
And love thy kind monitions,
need them all, | own,
To teach me life is passing,
That earth is not my home;
And all thy changing. various hues,
Thy deep, rich, brilliant dyes,
Betoken there are brighter scenes
For us beyond the skies.
