Two Fore Shoes.

Colonel F., very irritable and impatient
man, had occasion once, while passing on
horseback through small town in the
West, to patronize O Dutch blacksmith.
"Are you the smith," he asked of stout,
black. bearded, smoke begrimed old man,
who came out of the shop to look at the
horses defective shoes. "Yes, l be der

long pipe with his left hand, as he lifted
one of the horses feet with his right hand.

way. "Set the shoes of his fore feet that's

hour shoed." The Colonel went away and
returned at the appointed time, and found
the blacksmith still at work on his horse.
He was very wroth when he saw the state
of affairs, but he went away again with the
promise that in won half hour the shoes
void be set. After dinner, in no very mild
numor, he made his appearance again at the
shop, and asked what was to pay. "Four
shillings," was the reply. "Four shillings
what an imposition ~ exclaimed the fiery
Colonel. 81 never paid over shilling for

worse than ever. The smith struck his ist and

= BROMIDE OF POTASSIUM FOR HYDRO
PHoBIA.-The indianapolis Journal contains
an account of Miss Selvia Eller, of Beck s
Station, Hamilton county, Indiana, who
was bitten by rabid dog about two months
ago. The wound was very slight one,
and giving no alarm. was, unfortunately,
allowed to heal without being subjected to
treatment. She was attacked by hydrop-
hobia. Opiates proved oflittle use. Final
ly the physician administered bromide of
potassium, increasing the quantity to about
two ounces per day. For three days there
was no change perceptible, the disease then
abated its violence, and the patient has
since recovered.
On Friday night last, six car loads of oil
took fire on train which was coming down
the mountain near Kittanning Point, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, and about two hun
dred barrels burned up. The flame illumin-
ated the whole valley between the Allegheny
and Brush Mountains, and formed one of
the most beautiful sights imaginable.
Great wrath has been excited among the
old bachelors of Jersey City by the pubica-
ton of their names in New York paper.

A Ship of Death Floats into n Port
of the shetland Islands.

Since the time when the Ancient Mariner

with her crew of ghastly corpses, no more
thrilling story of the sea has been related
than that of the whale ship Diana, that re-
Gently driftej into one of the Shetland Is
lands. ....
A year ago she left the Shetlands on
whaling voyage to the Artic regions, having
on board fifty men. From that time moth.
ing more was heard of her. The friends of
those on board became alarmed. Money
was raised and premiums offered to the first
vessel that would bring tidings of the mis-.
sing ship, but all to no avail Hope was al.
most abandoned.
On the I'd of April the people near Rona's

morning last year. All of the ff.y came
back on her on the ed of April, this year;
the same but now different.
Ten men of whom the captain was one,
lay stifened corpses on the deck; thirty-fve
lay helplessly sick, and some dying; two
retained sufficient strength to creep aloft,
and the other three crawled freely about the
deck. The ship was boarded by the island
ers, and as they climbed over the bulworks,
the man at the wheel fainting from excite.

deathbeing announced by the fellow oc-

away this dead man." On the bridge of the
vessel lay the body of the captain, as it had
laid for four months. with nine of his dead
shipmates by his side, all decently laid out
by those who soon expected to share their
fate.
The survivors could not bear to sink the
bodies of their comrades into the sea, but
kept them so that when the last man died
the fated ship that had been their common
home should be their common tomb. The
surgeon of the ship worked faithfully to the
last, but cold, hunger, scurvy and dysentery
were too much for him. The brave old
Captain was the first victim, and died bless

one, until the ship was tenanted only by the
dead and dying One night more at sea
would have left the Diana floating coffin.
Not one of the fifty would have lived to tell
the ghastly tale.

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDEWALK


Have you ever stood in the crowded street,
In the glare of the ftful lamp,
And marked the tread of the million feet
In their quantity musical tramp!
As the surging throng moved to and fro,
IT'S pleasant sight, ween,
To mark the figures that come and go
In the ever changing scene.
Where the sinner treads with the publican proud
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd,
With Lazarus cheek by jowl;
And the daughter of toll, with her fresh, young
heart,
As pure as her spotlcss name
Keeps step with the women that make their mart
In the haunts Of Gin and shame.
How gaiIy steps the country lass
In the midst of the city's ills,
Az freshly pure the dased grass
That grows on her native hills
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye,
And his sad, wan face and crutch,
Gives blessing the same to the passer BY,
An he gives him pothng much.
When night has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And, in dusky armor delight,
Is treading with echoless footsteps, through
The gloom OF the silent night
How many of these shall be dainty fed,
And will sink to slumbers sweet
Yet many shall 60 to sleepless bed,
And never a crum to eat
All, me when the hours go joyfuly by,
How little we stop to heed
Our brothers and sisters despairing cry,
In their woe and their bitter need
Yet, such world as the angels sought,
This world of ours we d call,
If the brotherly love that the Father taught
Were felt by each for oil.
Yet few short years and this motley throng
Will all have passed away.
And the rich and the poor. and the old and young,
viii be undstinguished clay;
And lips that laugh and lips that moan
Will in silence alike be sealed,
And some will be under stately stone,
And some in the Potter's Field.
But the sun will be shining just as bright
And SO will the slvery moon,
And just such a crowd will be here at night,
And just such a crowd at noon
And the men will be wicked and women will sin,
As ever since Adams fall
With the same old world to labor in
And the same God over all.
