Croker, formerly English Secretary of

on setting the Duke of Wellington right as to
the battle of Waterloo. The Duke shifted
the conversation to percussion caps used
in the army upon which Croker was
contradictory This upset the Dukes patti

TIE BREAD or ST. JODOKUs,

FROM THE GERMAN OF RosEsARrES.
10 prove how pure heart his servant bore.
One day the Lord to St. Jodokus' door
O@nle begging bread in garments worn and
poor.
"Good steward, " spake Jodokus, "give him
bread"
One loaf alone remains" the steward said:
FOR thee and me, the faithful dog beside.i'
"Give ]" said the Saint; "wil not the Lord
provide %
The steward marked the single loaf with care,
ana cut four pieces, each an equal share.
Then to the beggar in no friendly tone,
,One each for thee and me, the abbot one,
One for the dog since / can but obey"
Jodokus smiled; the beggar went his way.
Not long, and in yet wretcheder disguise.
Once more the Lord asked bread with pleading
eyes.
Give him my piece" Jodokus gently said;
The Lord provides" The steward gave the
bread.
Again the Lord beside the threshold stood,
And, faint with hunger, begged little food.
"Givs him thy portion thus Jodol1us said;
''The Lord provides" The steward gave the
bread.
A little while, and naked, blind, and lame,
The fourth time came the Lord and begged
bub Sdu6s
"Give the dogs piece, " the holy man replied;
"The Lord, who feeds the ravens, will pro-
vide"
The steward gave. The beggar left the gate,
And a voice cried aloud, 'Thy faith is great
Thy Lord hath proved His servants loyalty
As thou hast trusted, be it done to thee ~
The steward looked, and in the tranquil bay,
Behold four laden ships at anchor lay.
Far up their sides the waters dimpling line
Broke round their holds well stored with bread
and wine.
Joyful the steward fastened to the strand,
And saw no man upon the vessel stand;
But on the shore a snOw-white banner waved,
Whereon in golden lines these words were
graved:-
-Four ships He sends who doth the ravens
feed,
To him who hath four times supplied His need.
One for the abbot, thus the list begin;
The steward and the dog like portions win
The fourth is for the sender's needy kin 20

The Fools Put Down.

Duelling has always been more or less preVa-
lent among German students, but of late years,
says the Pal Mall Gazette, it has become at GER
tain universities almost a mania. At Bonn,
especially, the number of duels which, during
the last few months, have been attended with
fatal results, has been great that the university
authorities, who have hitherto winked at the
practice are, it is said, about to take steps for
putting down duelling altogether. The students,
loo, are beginning to perceive the folly of this
mode of settling their disputes, and both at
Bonn and Berlin-another university noted for
the pugnacity of its members-an agitation has
been got up with the object of abolishing the
academical courts of honor in which most OF
these duels originate.

TREATMENT OF BLIsTERs.-It is a common
error that it is beneficial to break blister in
order to let out the water or blood which fills
1t. This water or blood is healing substance,
of kind most appropriate for the parts where
the skin is destroyed, and If the blister be
allowed to dry, new skin forms more rapidly
under it, and much pain is avoided. In eX-
fluid, so that it causes much pain by its tension,
a small portion of the fluid may be given a
chance to escape by the prick of a fine needle.
blister should also be covered up in some
accident,

AN INFURIATED STEER.-An intense excite
ment was created in the southern section of the
city yesterday afternoon, by a steer running off
from drove in the vicinity OF Sixth and Lom-
bard streets. The enraged animal dashed
through several streets, knocking down and in
iuring several persons in its progress. A mute
boy was tossed by the animal and badly bruised,
and Mrs. Tully, aged forty, who resides at Six
teenth and Federal streets, was badly injured
about the head. In Broad street, near Christian,
the driver OF team attached to coal car saw
the animal dashing up the street, and went to
the protection of his horses AS the animal
reached the lead horse the driver struck at him
with his whip, and was gored under the left
arm, inf1icting a severe flesh wound. A number
of persons threw coal at the steer from the cars,
but this only tended to make him more furious,
and he dashed along until he reached Broad
street. above Catharine, where member of the
Harmony Fire Company shot him, and he fell
dead in the street. Mrs. Tully was placed in the
ambulance of the Company and taken to the
Hospital, and the driver of the car-team had his
wound dressed and went home in a passenger

Say a Kind Word When
You Can.

What were life without some one to cheer US,
Without word or smile on our way,
And friend who is faithfully near us
When all but true friends are away;
The bravest of spirits have often
Halt failed in the race that they ran,
For kind word, life's hardships to soften,-
So saya kind word when you can.
Each one of us owns to some falling,
Though some may have more than the rest;
But there's no good in heedlessly railing
'Gainst those that are striving their best.
Remember word spoke complaining,
May blight every effort and plan,
Which kind one would in attaining
SO say kind word when you can.
Oh! say kind word, then, whenever
1t will make heart cheerful and glad,
But chiefy-forget it, oh, never -
To one that is hopeless and sad.
For there is no word SO easy in saying;
So begin-if you haven't began
And never in life be delaying
To say kind word when you can.
