IN THE WRONG ROOM:

Nat. Hd1risOn's Experience.

TN early days old Nat. Harrison was
Il elected to the Legislature from this
county, said fellow as We are all seated
around the stove, in II little hotel at
McLainsboro', Hamilton county Illinois.
Old Nat. was a regular old brick. He
was elected just because there was no one
to run against him. Our county was
rather bad off for intelligent people in
those days. A few days after old Nat.
had gone to Springfield, to attend to the
duties of his office. I happened to be
there on business ola private character,
and thinking he would be glad to hear
from the folks at home, I concluded to
call on him at the " Prairie House." and
inquire after his health.
"Ive been well, Tom" said he. but

OVER THE RIVER,

ANER the river they beekon to me,
~ Loved ones whove passed to the other side
The gleam of their snowy robes / see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide,
There's one with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue /:
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold, n
And the pale mist hid him from mortal vieyi
We saw not the angels who met him there, -
The gates of The City we could not see
Over the river. over the river,
My brother stands ready to welcome me-
Over the river the boatman pale,
Carried another the household pct;
Her bright curs waved it the gentle gale;
Darling Minnie see her yeti
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands
And fearlcssly entered the phantom bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the other side
Where all the ransomed and angels be-
Over the river; the Mystic river,
My childhOod's idols are waiting for me-
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip of the golden oars
We catch the gleam of the snowy sails,
zhhu lo tlltg uttNC pdSSCu llOlll our nedTl-
They cross the stream and are gone for aye:
We cannot sunder the veil apart.
That hides from our vision the gates of day:
We only know that their bark no more
Shall sail with ours on life's stormy sea,
Yet somehow hope on the unseen shore
They watch and becSOn and wait for me-
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list to the sound of the bOatmans oar,
shall watch for the CLEAN of the tapping sail
shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land:
shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet the meeting shall be
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me.

Two Ladies Shut in with a Mad Dog.

Particulars OF Il very unpleasant ad-
venture, in which two ladies of Detroit
were recently the heroincs, are furnished
by local paper:
About eight o'clock the other evening.
two ladies, residing up stairs in the block
on Woodward avenue, just beyond State
street, observed that large Newfound-
land dog which had long been in posses
sion Of the family, was exhibiting strange
conduct.
Suddenly, and without warning, the
brute sprang into the middle Of the room
eyes ablaze and his hair like brstles,
and he uttered q howl Of rage and pain
that sent the blood from the ladies' faces
IN an instant. Leading eff from the
room was IA closet or clothes press. and for
this both OF the woman instantly sprang.
The dog did not follow nor attempt To
molest them until just as they were clos
ing the door, when he came near gaining
admlttance, swapping and snaring savage
Iy. The male portion of the family
were away to market, and the ladies
found themselves prisoners, with a gcnu-
inc mad dog for keeper he animal
howled and barked and ran about the
room, biting at every article of furniture
and his heavy breathing and yells Of in
tense pain would have made stronger
hearts quail than those shut up in the
little closet.
The ladies screamed, the dog howled
and for nearly an hour there was an ex-
citing time within small space, the doc
now and then scratching and tearing
away at the closet door. At last, alarm
ed 10y the screams, several men from the
street made their way up stairs. and with
clubs, after sharp struggle, killed the
trothing brute he dead body Of the
animal was thrown into the alley and was
carted off by the scavengers. 1t was
looked upon by u large numbers before
being conveyed away, and none who saw
the eyes and the foam-hecked Jaws doubt
ed that the animal had been seized with
an attack Of hydrophobia.

WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED by France
against Prussia and already both countries
are busy massing troops along the Rhine.
Very shortly the Cable may bring the ac-
count of battle, and as both nations are
possessed Of all the most formidable
weapons known in modern warfare, the
struggle will be apt to be very severe
German vessels have already been no.
tilted to seek shelter in neutral ports for
fear of French vessels of war, and the
steamers of the German line did not dare
to leave New York last Saturday, the
usual day of sailing. The sympathies Of
most people will be with Prussia, as Ma
poleon seems to have seized upon the
fimsiest pretext for forcing this war
upon her..
Further news will be anxiouslv looked
for, and the final result is not easy to de-
termine the two nations being 50 evenly

nG5~ The colored people down in Del
aware have gotten into such Il habit of
stealing rails that the farmers have be-
gun to bring their fences in at nights
1t is good deal Of trouble, they say. but
it is not any harder than to undertake to
identify the ashes Of the rails when the
thieves are brought to trial Personally
we are not much Of an agriculturist, but
it seems to us that perhaps the fences
might be protected very nicely if every
rail on each farm had a Watchdog chain
ed to it; or if fre-proof safe large enough
to contain the fence, were erected in
each field. Mr., Greely recommends lay
ing bank-notes along by the fences, so
that the thieves will take them and let
the rails alone; but he doesn't know
enough about farming to start two-ycar-
old orphan in the business of making
dirt-pies. Everyboy knows how he plan
ted four acres in canned tomatoes, and as
one Of his friends asserts, tried to make
his hens lay scrambled eggs by stirring
them up with pole He is not worth
minding.
