Hardy Feat.

!.
The great local excitement Of the day,
Yesterday, was trial of speed and endu-
rance on the part of Mr. John Shannon, a
river pilot, who wagered $3.50 that
he could walk with wheelbarrow from
the corner of Sixth and Main streets to
Beebee's nursery, good four miles north
of the city-in one hour and ten minutes.
The bet was accepted and the money, $240
in all, was placed in the hands OF respons-
ible parties Since the partial failure OF
Perkins to perform the feat last Sunday,
it's successful accomplishment was deemed
by many impossible, and a number of side
bets were made until quite an amount OF
money depended on the result. The time
agreed upon for starting was o'clock P,
NJ, and at the hour named Mr.. Shannon
appeared promptly on the ground with
his wheelbarrow and set out on his trip in
the presence of large crowd, while the
various judges and timers followed IN
Ecarriages. Up Main street, down Seventh
land UP to Coulter avenue he8went at rap
id gait, reaching the race track, half the
distance, in twenty seven minutesae From
here to the end of hisdestination the road
is very uneven and hilly, with steep el
ovation nearly the whole distance, and
yet, with all these obstacles, Mr.. Shannon
made the trip in just nineteen minutes
performing the whole distance in forty
Seven minutes, having twenty three min
utes to spare. Beyond the slight fatigue
incident to such exertion, Mr., Shannon
exhibited no symptoms of distress what
ever, but was apparently as fresh and Wig
torous as when he started, and good fol
four miles further After the accomplish
ment of his extraordinary feat, and refus
ing all offers to ride, he walked back to the
lefty where he was overwhelmed by thu
congratulations of numerous friends HI
performed the feat nobly and gracefully
and is entitled to all due credit in conse
quence. Dubuque Times. dfus dll-

A Brighter Day.

Harness the impatient years,
Oh Timed and yoke them to the imperial car,
For through the mist OF tears,
The brighter day appears,
whose early bushes tinge the hills afar.
A brighter day for thee,
Oh realm, whose glorious fields are spread between
The dark Midland Sea
f93t And that immensely
OF Western waters that once hailed thee Queen.
The fiery coursers fling NF Cr
Their necks aloft, and snuff the morning breeze
Till the feet moments bring
W# The expected sign to spring
Along their path, and leave these glooms behind
Yoke them, and yield the reins
To Spain, and lead her to the lofty seat.
tI But ere she mounts, the. chains
3reg Whose cruel strength constrains
Her limbs, must fall in fragments at her feet.
tyrant brood have wound
About her helpless limbs the steely braid,
it@e And toward gulf profound
Fhey drag her, gagged and bound
Down among dead mems bones, frost and shade.
Oh Spain thou wert of yore,
The wonder OF the realm in prouder years
IC Thy naughty forehead wore,
w. What il shall wear no more,
The dladem OF both the hemispheres. EsE
To thee ancient Deep
Revealed his pleasant, undiscovered lands.
From mines where Jewels sleep,
.Aea Titled plain and vine-clad Steep >s--saz
Earth's richest spoil was offered to thy hands.
Yet thou, when land and sea-
Sent forth their tribute with each rolling wave,
And kingdoms crouched to thee,
Vert false to Liberty,
And, therefore, art thou now shackled slave.
s5 WIT thou not yet again
Put forth the sleeping strength that in thee lies,
And snap the shameful chain,
And force that tyrant train
10 Zee before the anger In thine eyes.
Then shall the harnessed years
sweep onward with thee to that glorious height
Which even now appears
Brighter through the mist of years,
The dwelling place of Liberty and Light.

Snare Moments.

A lean, awkward boy came one morn
ing to the door Of the Principle of a cele
brated school, and asked to see him. The
servant eyed his mean clothes, and think
ing he looked more like beggar thar
anything else, told him to go round to the
kitchen door The boy did as he was told
and soon appeared at,the back door. q
should like to see Mr., b" y he repeated, =
"Y on want breakfast, more like, said
the servant girl. ''and can give you that
| without troubling him" I13ta Liltad 2
"Thank you, said the boy Il should
have no objection to bit OF bread, but
| should like to see Mr.. b., If he can see
me- 80 ~
"Some old clothes maybe youiNant, RE
marked the servant, again cycling the
boys patched trousers. 81 know he has
none to spare, and without regarding the
boys request, she went away about her
work.
"Can l see Mr.. B. again asked the boy,
after finishing his bread and butter.1. az
q swell, he's in the library if he must
be disturbed, he must; but he does like
to be let alone sometimes" said the girl
in a peevish tone. She seemed to think
it very foolish to admit such anjill-look-
ing fellow into her masters presence =
however, she wiped her hands, and babe
him follow. Opening the library door,
she said, "Here's somebody, sir, who is
dreadful anxious to see you, so I.let him
in" .r,..
/ don't know how the boy introduced
but | know that after talking awhile, the
Principal put aside The volume he was
studying, and took up some Greek books,
and began to examine the new conner.
The examination lasted some times Every
question which the principal asked the
boy answered as readily as he could
upon my word" exclaimed the Prin-
cipal, looking at the boy from head to
foot, over his spectacles, "you certainly do
well Why boy, where did you pick up
80 much?" Gin my spare moments an
swered the boy.
Here was a poor, hard-working boy,
with but few opportunities for schooling,
yet almost fitted for college by simply inn
proving his spare moments Truly, are
not spare moments the gold dust of time.
How precious they should be! What &C
count can you give for your spare mo-
ments What can you say for them !?
Look and see. This boy can tell you how
much can be laid up by improving them );
and there are many, many other boys, |
am afraid, in the jail, in the house of cor
rection, in the forecastle of the whale-ship,
in the tipping shop, who if you should
ask them when they began their sinful
course, might answer, 'in my spare mo-
ments"
Temptation always hunts you out in
small seasons like those, when youare not
busy he gets into your heart, if he can,
IN just such gaps. There he is himself
planning all sorts of mischief. Take care
of your spare moments.

Submission Of The Pope. and Revolutions
which all PDyUe1s OhaJo EoG99Yf

rFf--A ~
Almost every year the Pope of Rome
fheads some reform, or submits to one. He
is soon to hold an Gcumenical Council of
] his Bishops and archbishops called to
Rome from the ends Of the earth to aid
in several changes. Rome has no secrets,
no private ends to engineer The day of
private saheming has ended The world
! il wiser than Pope. or Kings, and every
secret depth is revealed, however deep
and intricate the way thereto. The forth.
looming council of bishops is called in
view ofcproYiiding ways and means for
certain changes in church policy. Rome
cannot longer stand in the way Of certain
popular movements The people demand
State support for education they ask for
railroads and telegraphs, for free transit
from shore to shore and from sea to sea,
for the abolition of pains and penalties
f5r accommodation, for divorce of
State and Church, ofor a general revoca4
zion of concordats, for, the right to marry
and intermarry with dissenting parties
for burial and baptismal rights, for indie
pendent education, for religious freedom,
for the right of parents toldetemmine the
Legitimacy of their, children, and to bury
in unbiased collins in unsancifed grounds
without being condemned, &C. The rev.
olution in Spain which deprives Rome of
Spanish influence, and the loss of Austrian
support, are events Of serious import to q
Rome The frmest foothold the Pope now
has. is in South America, and should ever.
the cry of United Italy resound in Eu-
rope. the Holy Father may yet have to
take to Brazil with the Vatican. But
even BAIL, the most vigorous supporter of
Brazil, just chosen to a neighboring
throne, is former schoolmaster and edi-
tor. The Pope cannot trust the like. But
the last heard, the Pope had invited to a
grand reunion the heads of the world
This looks like business.
