SAGAcITY OF GANDER.-One day last
week, gander was " on duty" near the canal
basin, in keeping guard over flock of goslings,
which led to rencontre between his gander-
ship and rooster. The contest, however, was
of short duration, for the gander seized the
cock by the neck and straightway flew into the
canal, where he thrust his antagonist under
water, and there held him until he was dead

" Give him a Push. y
BY LEWIS DELA.

Stayed be the helping hand hushed be the kindly tone
Mamnon and self are the gods of Che day
Wise are the misery! Fools the benevolent!
Charity makes no investments that pay!
Show me the man of heart; he with open hand
Gladdened the poor with the gold from his till;
Comes he for sympathy now he's unfortunate?
Give him push, he is going down hil
What though an orphan, alone and unfrended-
Brotherless, ssterless, left in his needi
Measure your sympathy not by his suffering,
Meier such a tenet had place in your creed.
Bring out the touch-stone and look for the token;
Gmmers the golden tint bright on it stil9
No. then alone let him nourish his sorrow;
Give him push, he is going down hill
What though temptation for years has assailed him.
Challenging vainly the victor to yield!
Envy will herald the flaws in his armor
Poverty tarnish his helmet and shield
Lately king, for his scepre was golden;
Fawningiy, sycophants bowed to his will
'Ichabod" now, for his wealth has departed;
Give him push, he is going down hill!
What thought his heart be mint, ever working,
Issuing coin in the kind word and tear;
Quoted as worthless by bankers and brokers;
Dollars and dimes is the currency here.
Shout then for Mammon! let echo prolong it!
flushed be the heart, and the conscience be still
Smile on the rich, and repulse the unfortunate!
Give him push, he is going down hill

OFFICIAL The following is literal copy
Of ''beggar's petition" which has lately been
circulated by lad with particularly red hair
and sandy complexion
This is to certify that the bearer, Antonio
Patrico O'Flaheryto, is native of Italy, and
belongs to some of those unfortunate families
who were thrown from the crater of Mount
Vesuvius in the eruption of 1907 and in des-
cending the sides Of the rugged mountain, with
masses of stone, lava, &C., was cruelty sepa-
rated from his fond parent, his tender sisters
and loving brothers. Thus he was throw up
on the world at an early age, an orphan with
out friends but, by the aid of philanthropic
Italians he was enabled to procure a license and
stock of penny papers, which he for months
continued to sell at the various railroad stations
In and about Naples. By untiring industry
and strict economy, he was enabled to reach
this country, through which he now wanders,
in hopes Of meeting his long lost separated
family, who, as the wind was blowing strong
from the east at the time of the eruption, he

Saturday Evening.

How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing from the west;
As ends the weary week of toll,
And comes the day Of rest.
Bright DER the earth the star of eve
Her radiant beauty sheds;
And myriad sisters calmly weave
Their light around our heads.
Rest, man, from labor; rest from sin;
The worlds hard contest close;
The holy hours with God begin;
Yield thee to sweet repose.
Bright DER the earth the morning ray
Its sacred light win cast;
Fair emblem Of the glorious day
That evermore shall last.

The Aged Printer.

The Aged Printer.
BY OUR "P. D.n
Some years ago there flourished
An aged Printer man,
Whose years exceeded by score, M
The usual of life's span.
Hehad been younger, but old age
Came creeping on apace;
He had improved his time full well,
And nobly filed the space.
Fun many token had he shown
How generous was he
His case was fair-all looked on him
A type of honesty.
Imposing was that countenance,
And never at a stand
Was he to do a clever thing,
To any in the land.
His rule was ever to obey
All good and wholesome laws;
Nor could a press of evil things .t
Fer bring him to pause.
Death came at length, one eve, and put
A period to his life
lie calmly went-hs motto was
To yield without a strife.
They reared a stone, and on it put
In capitals, his name
Was it enough, though long he'd lived,
And thirsted not for fame!

The Prude.

Lord Bacon remarked that |" the more deli
cate people become in words, the less they are
SO in acts" This is true; for the most mer-
etricous mind seeks the daintiest garment of
words to conceal the moral deformity. Every
man of experience knows that most accessible
ladies are those who make the greatest pre-
tension to extreme delicacy. The black-eyed,
romping, frank open hearted girl, who speaks
her mind freely, and without affectation, is as
secure against attack as the rock of Gibraltar;
but the lady who spends her morning In pan
telling the legs of the piano, and weaving
aprons, to conceal the beauties of art, in mar
bic Cupids and Psyches, is sure to commit
some devilment in the dark before night is
over. Her mind is ever suggestive of some
thing wrong. She is something like the lady
who, after the publication of Johnson's Die
tionary, wrote to the Doctor, complaining of
the many naughtily wicked words his book
contained. DIR. Johnson's only reply was,
''that he was sorry she had been looking for
them" The Prude is always on hunt of
this kind. The difference between the Dub
lin and London young ladies was illustrated
by celebrated wit after this fashion: He
says-"At dinner table, if you look at an
English girl, she bushes, casts down her
head, and says-You must ask my papa; but
if you look at an Irish girl, she looks you full
in the face, and cries-'Port if you please :"
Prudery and modesty are distinct as frank
ness and concealment. There is nothing more
absolutely disgusting than its prudish simula-
ton
