WINGS BY-AND-BY.-" Walter" said a
gentleman on a ferry.boat to a poor, helpless
cripple, how is it when you cannot walk
that your shoes get worn ?"
A blush came over the boys face, but
after hesitating a moment, he said
My mother has younger children, sir,
and while she is out washing | amuse them
by creeping about the floor and playing"
Poor boy" said lady standing near,
not loud enough, as she thought, to be over
heard. What life to lead What has
he in all the future to look forward TOT"
The tear started to his eye, and the bright
smile that chased it away showed that he did
hear her. As she passed by him to step on
shore, he said in low voice, but with a
smile that went to her heart -" I'm looking
forward to having wings some day, lady"
Happy Walter poor, crippled, and de-
pendent on charity, yet performing his mission,
doing in his measure the Masters will, Pa
tently waiting for the future, he shall by
and-by mount up with wings as eagles; shall
run and not be weary, shall walk and not
faint,
Walters hope of heaven made him happy
as it will make any one happy who possesses it

How TO AROUSE HIRED GIRL
One night recently DIR. Peck of st. Johns
bury, and his wife returned 10 their house
after an evening absence, and found
themselves locked out by the servant
girl, who was sleeping soundly in the arm
chair and waiting for their return. The
Doctor rang, raped and roared, aud the
girl still slept. The Doctor then took
from his trunk a syringe loaded with cold
water, dropped the window from the top
and fired. The charge took effect in the
maids ear. She sighed, stretched, aud
drew one hand over her ear and resumed
her travels in the land of Nod. The
Doctor, though surprised, was not de-
moralized. He Reloaded, took sure aim
and fired long, drizzliDg charge right
into the whole wound. Presently there
arose upon the midnight air one of the
most terrific, frightful screams ever heard
in that locality. The doctor dropped bis
weapon, stuck his head into the window
and begged the frightened maid to hush
mp before the police were aroused. In
due time she was quoted and the Doctor
was admitted, but be will never use
syringe in such case again unless be first
notifies the eighbors.-Lyndon Union.

A New Litany.
By JOHN II. NOBODY,

From all the dread and all the fear,
OF those who watch with eye and ear,
Their neighbour faults to see and hear,
Good Lord deliver us
From all the pomp and pride innate
Oflittle men who think they're great,
While fools around them fawning wait,
Good Lord deliver usl
From all the love and hate of those
Who go around with turned-up nose,-
Whose only merit is their clothes,
Good Lord deliver US
From all the girls with silly pate,
Who go abroad with mincing gait,
When shallow SWANS upon them wait,
Good Lord deliver US
From every girl who walks the street
With Grecian bend and cramped-up feet,
And thinks she is so very neat,
Good Lord deliver US
From temperance men who talk 30 big
How rummies' wheels they're going to trg,-
Yet on the sly will take swig,
Good Lord deliver US
From every swell with staggering gait,
Who struts about with head elate,
As though the world did on him wait,
Good Lord deliver us !
From every one who will pretend
To be firm and faithful friend,
That he may gain some selfish end,
Good Lord deliver US!

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT FAIRHAvEN
While workman employed at the
quarry of the Fairhaven Marbelzed Slate
Company was engaged, a day or two
since, in digging up stone at the edge of
the quarry, be suddenly lost his balance,
and was precipitated to the bottom, dis
tanoe of forty feet. With remarkable
presence of mind, he contrived to turn
himself during the fall in such manner
as to strike upon his side, thus avoiding
blow upon his head which must have
been instantly fatal. The force of the
conclusion was SO great as to break his
collar bone, and he received other serious
injuries, but it is thought he will recover.
His escape from instant death is remark
able, and is doubtless due to his singular
self-possession in changing the position of
his body while falling.
