DeXler-BOnner's Offer.

Robert Bonner, of the New York
Ledger, has published the following
card:
have observed in the papers para
graph stating that certain citizens of
Milwaukee offer to make a bet of $10,-
900 if Dexter will trot on their course.
This proposition is absurd on it's face, as
everybody knows Inever allow my horses
to trot for money; but even if were
disposed to trot for money, certainly
would not do it on track like the Mil
waukee track, where a quarter of mile
is out of sight of the judges. You might
as well talk abont trotting horse on a
pitch-dark night, where nobody could
see whether he ran or trotted. But
while [ do not bet, am ready, as [
have previously offered, to pay $4,000
FOR the mere privilege of seeing any
horse equal Dexter's last great perform
ance, when he trotted a mile to road
wagon in 2.214.
Another absurd report is the one that
Dexter was recently beaten on Harlem
Lane one Sunday morning. In the first
place, | never drive or even travel on
Sunday, and Dexter never was Oh Har-
lem Lane in his life on Sunday. More
over, he never was beaten on Harlem
Lane any day. Who speaks next?

leave of Miss Redwith, and drove away from
the Moor
They we're obliged to wait nearly an hour for
the mail down train.
The gray dusk was falling when they steamed
into the station at Huntingdon A porter en-
tered and lighted the ceiling lamp, and went
out again.
Suddenly two young men came sauntering
along the platform.
One approached the door of the coach occu-
pied by Col Redruths family, and looked in.
guard came forward and addressed theyoung
men, and ushered them into the very carriage
occupied by the returned soldier.
lgnatla hurriedly drew Der veil over her
face and sank back upon her seat trembling
and panic-stricken. Col. Redwlth noticed that
she seemed to cover in the shadow of her
corner.
The next instant the train was once more on
its swift way to the southwark.
Col. Redruth looked at the intruders closely.
One of them was an ordinary looking young
man in military uniform, with a loud laugh and
pompous manners. The Colonel did not be-
stow upon him a second glance.
His companion was slender, tall and grace
full, and with dashing, spirited air. His man
ner was strange compound of grace. inso-
lence and gentlemanliness. He was of ford
complexion, his forehead high, his eyes Of a
blqeish gray, and possessed of strange power
of attraction and fascination. His eyes re-
minded the Colonel, oddly enough, of the eyes
of an Indian serpent.
"That man looks like an ANGEL" thought
the Colonel. ''And [ believe he is at heart
a devil"
He withdrew his gaze slowly, At the same
instant Ignatia breathed into his ear:
So That is he-my husband!"

tory of the divorce suit, its strange develop
ments and result, see the New York Ledger

Your voiceess lips, oh flowers, are living preachers
Each cup pulpit, every leaf book,
Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers,
From loneliest nook.
Meath clustered boughs each floral bell that swingeth
And tolls its perfume on the passing air,
Makes Sabbath in the fields, and ever ringeth
A call to prayer.
Not to the dome where crumbhng arch and column
Attest the feebleness of mortal hand,
But to that fame most catholic and solemn
Which God hath planned
To that cathedral boundless as wonder,
Whose quenchless lamp the sun and moon supply;
Its choir the wind and waves, its organ thunder,
Its dome the sky.
There, amid solitude and shade, wander
Through the green aisles stretched upon the sod
Awed by the silence, reverently ponder
The ways of God.

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
Learning to Pray.

Kneelng fair in the twilight gray,
A beautiful child was trying to pray:
His cheek on his mothers knee.
His bare little feet half hidden
His smile still coming unbidden,
And his heart brimful of glee
81 want to laugh. Is it naughty. Say,
o mamma! I've had such fun to-day,
hardly can say my PRAYERS
I don't feel just like praying;
want to be out doors PLAYING,
And run, all undressed, down stairs
:" / can see the flowers in the garden-bed,
Shining so pretty, and sweet, and red;
And Sammy is swinging, guess.
Oh everything is 80 fine out there,
want to put it all in the prayer.
do you mean 1 can do it by fYes?1
:" When say, Now Jay me- word for word
1t seems to me if nobody heard;
Would Thank you, dear God,' be right?
de gave me my nanny,
And papa, and Sammy,
mamma you nodded might"
CIasping his hands and hiding his face,
Unconsciously yearning for help and grace,
The little one now began.
His mothers nod and sanction sweet
And led him close to the dear Lords feet,
And his words like music ran:
Thank you for making this home so nice,
The flowers, and folks, and my two white mice,
Il wish could keep right on.)
1 thank you, too, for every day
Only I'm most too glad to pray.
Dear God, I think 1 am done.
"Now, mamma, rock me-just minute
And sing the hymn with darling in it.
wish I could say my prayers
When get big know I can.
OIL won't 1t be nice to be a man,
And stay all night down stairs %
The mother, singing, clasped him tight,
Kissing and cooling her fond "Good night"
And treasured his every word.
For well she knew that the artless joy
And love of her precious, innocent boy
Were prayer that her Lord had heard.

in the excitement of digging a hole
which should be deep enough for
we'll to supply the fountain. After dig
ging away fornearly an hour they found
that the sun was very hot and the work
very hard, so they concluded to leave
it as it was until rain came, and they
could see how much water it would
hold already before they dug farther.
So they laid down to rest in the long
grass, tumbling about and making dam
delion chains, until Nettie suddenly
exclaimed, ''the toads !"
"Ohl yes, the toads, the toads !"
shouted the boys, and they all Jumped
up and ran off to the pear tree, but
there were neither tubs nor toads to be
seen! After q pause of astonisment
they guessed the reason, and allrushed
to the kitchen for an explanation.
There was Bridget, scrubbing away at
her clothes with the big tub before
her.
go Bridget! what have you done
with our toads % they cried, all at
once.
"Shure, and don't We come an be
botherlng me on washing morning wild

"But, Bridget, we want our toads.
We left them in the tub"

little crathures out on the Crane grass
where they belong. They isn't fit for
the likes of We to be playing wild, at all,

disturbed our arrangements, said Ned
reproyingly.
AN who was it disturbed me ar
engagements when I got up early to me
wash, an found me tut all messed up,
an had it to clane and wash meself2"
The three little ones thought it pri-
dent to retire and carry their troubles
to mamma. She sympathized with
them, and suggested various ways in
which they might keep new set of
toads more safely. But they shook
their heads over every plan. Though
for a long time afterwards they were
very fond of telling about them, and
OF all they were going to teach them,
still think in their secret hearts they
we're not very sory that Bridget upset
their plan of starting a toad school,
The lost pets were always known,
however, as the Educated Toads. y
" Because" as they said, ''they would
have been educated if Bridget hadn't
gone and tipped the tub over. "-Heorth

Justice Mexican of Utah, says of

"The sophism by which polygamy is
sought to be jus titled as being in har-
mony with American civilization is
the polygamy is a religious practice;
that religious tolerat1on is one of the
fundamental principles of American in
stitu tons, and of the Federal Consti-
tuition that therefore, polygamy is
protected by the Constitution, and all
laws enacted against it are unconstitu-
tional. If the mass of the American
people were barbarians, if the patri-
archal or the tribal system of Govern
ment prevailed among them, it is need
less to say, that our Constitution and
institutions could not exist.
1t IS not little humiliating that it
should seem to be necessary to add
that our Constitution and institutions
do not require, nay, do not permit, the
liberation of any practices which wages
war against the existence of civilization.

When the burglar is fit juror to in

Crime in PHILADELPHIA,

On Sunday night last a burglar en-
tered the house of Mrs. Maxwell, in
Philadelphia, and demanded of Miss
NJ, the only member of the family at
home, all the money and valuables
about the premises. She declined,
whereupon the burglar knocked her
down and kicked her until she became
insensible. The thief then proceeded
to help himself to such articles as most
pleased his faucy. Before the thief
had completed his invoice Miss NJ
partially regained her senses, seeing
which the brutal house-b breaker kicked
her several times in the face and about
the body, and then decamped with $50
in cash and quantity of clothing. On
the same day three rowdies entered the
shop of Mrs. Bever, an aged woman
on Parish street, Philadelphia, and,
after destroying a number of articles,
sliced and placed her upon a red hot
stove, and so determined were they in
accomplishing their brutality that they
gave no heed to her cries, and were ar
rested while holding their victim over
the stove.
