HOW 81 Thirsty Skipper WAS SoIsi.

The Bangor (Mc.) Wig tells this
story There Is II master of Il fish
ing schooner down the river, who
thinks Bangor Il hard town for trade,
and he tells this story in confederation:
Some time since he came ZIP here with
a quantity Of fish. valued ut about 500,
for sale. He found Il customer, after
considerable trouble, who wanted to
pay $40 of the price in rum, saying
that the police were so sharp that there
was no chance to retail it in Bangor. ami
the skipper though doubtful at first, was
persuaded to trade on the offered terms.
The purchaser removed his fish on
Saturday, and late in the evening came
down in great haste with the rum bar
rel, which he rushed Oh board, telling
the skipper that the police were OH
his track, and he had better put Off at
once.
Frightened half out Of his wits, the
captain mustered his crew and got out
into the stream, but wind and tide be-
ing against him he was obliged to get
out the oars and pull for dear life. At
last, after long and painful toll, the
little schooner was pulled down below
Hampden. where deeming himself safe
from the police. he dropped anchor.
Feeling utterly exhausted with the viO-
iCiit eHoIL~, Oui shippCI Oiio1ts5hl q iAoOiC
sup of rum would do himselfand crew
no harm, and he proposed to tap the
barrel. Fancy his disgust when he
found the contents to be we'll water,
and brlckish at that 1t is said that
no man was ever more enraged than
he, and he swore vengence on all Bang
or. Rum being IAN unlawful commodi-
tv. he could not seek legal means to
recover its value, and one has only tn
mention Bangor i'll his presence to
see the maddest man i'll the State OF

in our sober columns, will. we are

than feet in height, and the Colonel
is STRIPPING of only feet 5 inches in
his stockings. He is not an unduly
fat man, is merely what would be
called moderately portly, and is 33
years old.
He was colonel in the Austrian az

ing i'll the Mexican army ut the battle
| of Puebla, May 5, 1862, in which
| the MeNicans We're victorious. His
father at one time resided at Leeds.

Leipsic, Germany, that the colonel
met his fate in the person of Il fiil

The Triumpl.s of Old Age.

Psychologists tell us that with a
greater prevalence of a knowledge
of the laws of health, the world may
expect an increase in the average
duration of human life. Perhaps
this time is already dawning. At
anv rate, here are a few S'health
considerations'' for those above
sixty:
Won Moltke, comparatively .juve-
nile ct seventy, plans and executes
such campaign as modern ages
never witnessed Emperor Will
liam, tough as oak at seventy-four,
roughs it on the field as .jauntily as
a Young lieutenant. Won Roon,the
l'russian War Minister, older than
either general or emperor, directs
from Berlin the marshaling of hosts
and gathering supplies.
Nor are these wonders Of longey-
ity by any means confined to the
German side of the contest. Thiers

much force as when he occupied a
professors chair. In England
where men are reckoned young till
they are past fifty, splendid exam

WORK AND WATr.-There are two
things that always pay even in this not
over-remuneritive eXistance. They
are working and waiting. Either is
useless without the other. Both uni
ted are invincible, and inevitably tri-
umphant. He who waits without
working is simply man yielding to
sloth and despair. He who works
without waiting is fitful in his striving,
and misses results by his impatience.
patiently may have a long journey be-
fore him, but ut its end he will find his
reward.
