A Tough G0Osc Story.

There once lived 10 one of our Nor
thern towns, not many miles from
Conway, New Hampshire, an eccentric
individual by the name Of Fogg, whose
fame as o story-te!lsr was known for
many miles around Here is one -
"My house was situated on glen,
some six miles distant from The stage
road. Between Canway and where
lived was pond six miles in. circum-
ference. L. -ser hsppensd ono time
early in tho spring that | had boon
out late, and in coming home l dis
covered flock Of geese as they were
just alighting in the pond. Rising
early the next morning, built my fire
iu the fireplace, aud taking down the
shooting-iron, ] started to the pond
to try my luck. Arriving on the
shore | found to my sorrow that they
were out of gun shot, and TO lire at that
distance would bo sheer folly. While
[ stood contemplating what to do, q
fox came down to the waters edge
and stood snuthug the air. Ny first
thought was to shoot him, but on re-
lection | concluded to see what he
would do. The fox in the mean time
entered tho water and was winning
for the geese, which were huddled
together about half q mile from the
shore. After swimming within few
yards Of them, be suddenly dis.
appeared, and ip few moments a
goose was drawn under water, then
lieynard returned on his passage and
landed his burden on the shore then
returning egain, brought another, until
finally he got the whole flock: and
when he brought tho last one, ] shot
him. When | came TO pick up the
geese i found that / had fifty good
nice ones, which lugged home, to-
scther with the fox and my gun. The
old woman had not got breakfast quite
ready then.'
"Bpt, Mr.. Fogg, tho fox to capture
tho geese, had to swim half milo fol
each goose consequently the fox swan
iitty miles, and as tho geese averaged
six pounds apiece, making ths sum o
three hundred pounds, to say nothing
OF the fox and gun; tbs thing wa
impossible"
"Iwpossihlo or not, every word Off
Is truth," exclaimed the old man, "aps

THE jews Did you ever think
how remarkable it is that a people so
long away from their native country,
and so widely scattered among other
peoples, should keep their original traits
of character, their religious beliefs,
and their general distinguishing lea
lures, so wholly unchanged? Tho
Jews in America, in China, in Eng.
land, in Russia, or France, believe to
duv just as the jews in Jerusalem be-
lieved long years since, and look just
us they looked. Jews seldom marry
other than Jewish church. They
cling to the nationality as To something
sacred. And it is sacred in their
sight, Once they thought themselves
the Lords chosen people and they
think so still, To mix the blood of any
other people in thir veins il, in their es.
timston, to render themselves un-
worthy Of Gods especial regard.

How STATURY Is MADE. But littlo
is known Of the art Of sculpture by
the masses. The first thing he sculp.
tor docs is to model or fashion the fg.
uro in clay. lie first builds a skeleton
OF iron, and then puts the clay upon
H. and adds or takes OF unit! the work
is completed. Ile then transfers the
model, or reproduces il in plaster of
Paris, This is done by covering the
clay with liquid plaster to the depth of
about one and half inches. more or
less, according to tho size Of the model.
A liie-sized picture would require tho
plaster to be laid on at least three iuch-
es in depth.
The plaster is then allowed TO become
perfectly hard, or TO set, as it is called.
The clay is then taken out, and tho
plaster will bo found to be y mold in
which TO cast the fac-simile Of the or
iginal model.
An additional quantity Of plaster is
lhen mixed with water and poured in.
TO the new made model; in thirty or
forty minutes it will become set and
hard. The mold is then taken or cut
off by means of knives or ohises.
The next thing is the process of
cutting the head or figure in marble.
This is entirely mechanical, and is ac--
complishcd by measuring instruments
called pointed machines, They are
no arranged rs 10 give the exact dis
tanccs, points depths, widths and
length Of every part Of a head or fig
uro these are pointed or measured
on the marble block, and the workman
cuts to q hair according to measure,
and mathcmntically certain.

SELECT POETRY
THE TRUNRLE,BED.

As rmmnged through the attic,
Listening TO the falling rain,
As II pattered on the shingles,
And against the window pane,
Peeping over chest. and boxes.
Which with dust were thickly spread,
Saw ! In the farthcst corner
What was once my trundle.bcl.
SO drew II from its recess,
Where il had remained 80 long,
Hearing all the while the music
or my mothers voice In song,
As she sung in sweetest accent,
What since have often read
Hush, my dear, lie still and slumbcr,
Holy angels guard Thy bed.
AS listened, rccollections
That | thought had been forgot,
Came. with all the gush OF memory,
Rushing, tbrongins to the spot
AS wandered back to childhood,
To those merry days of yorc,
When kneli beside my mother
by this bed upon the floor.
Then il was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said,
Never can they be forgotten
Deep are they in mem'ry craven.
Hallowed be Thy name, o, Father,
Father! Thou who art in Heaven.
This she taught; then she told me
or it's import great and deep;
Aiier which learned TO utter
"Now lay me down to sleep"
Then il was with hands uplifted,
And in accents soft and mild,
That my mother asked "Our Father,
Father, do Thou bless my child"
Years have passed, and that dear mot her
Long has mouldered meath the sod,
And ] trust her saintcd spirit
Reyels in the home of God.
But the scene at summer twilight
Never has from memory fed;
And II comes in all its freshness
When | see my trundle.bcd.
