my garret was wrenched Off and, on look

crOwbar, and lot of death rates, coming
down the ladder at me. 1 fed from the
house to the Presbyterian church close

climb up to the point of the steeple and
sit astride of the ball. promised him
$40 more if he would exclude everybody
from that steeplc for week. Once safely
on the ball, 300 feet from the earth, made
my self comfortable with the thought that
l had Gum at disadvantage, and l de-
termined to beat him finally if had to
stay there month. About an hour after
ward, while l was looking at the superb
view to the west, heard a rustling around
on the other oth side of the steeple. l
looked around, and there was Benjamin
z. Gum creeping up the side of that spire
in balloon, in which was the doctor and
the tabular estimates of the losses of his
company from The Tontine system. As
soon as Gum reached the ball he threw
his graphing iron into the shingles of the
steeple, and asked me at what age my
father had died, and if any of my aunts
ever had died of consumption or liver
complaint.
Without waiting to reply, slid down
the steeple to the ground, and took the first
train for the Mississippi Valley. In two

mule, and paid a guide to lead me to the
summit of Popocatapel. We arrived at
the foot of the. mountain at noon. We
toiled upward for about four hours. just
b-fore reaching the top heard the sound
of voices, and, upon rounding a point of
rocks, who should see but Benjamin P.

crater, explaining the endowment plan to
his guide, and stupefying him with NOR

guide few yards off, examining him to
see if he was healthyl Mr.. Gum rose
and said he was glad to see me, because
now we could talk over that business
about the policy without fear of interrlp-
ton. In paroxysm of rage l pushed
him backward into the crater, and he fell
a thousand feet below with heavy thud

Forsyth, Georgia, can claim the
champion beat" Finding himself badly
off for his regular invigorator, he put a
gallon of water in two-gallon demijohn,
and presenting himself at the grocery,
asked for gallon of whisky. 1t was duly
enclosed in the demijohn, but of course
there was no trust, and the liquor had to
be retained. A gallon was poured out,
and the beat" went on his way, rejoicing
in the possession of gallon of good grog.
He turned up drunk an hour after.

lice upon us. Soon afterwards we publish
ed the admirable Encyclical, in which the
Holy Father complained of the outrages
hcaped upon him for that publication we
were seized. Lastly, on the I'd of this
present July, date that will be ever
memorable in history, our papers were
seized once more. We regard all these
seizures as titles of honor" Every Catho-
lie must admire the courage and devotion
of the Turinese journal. The services such
an undaunted witness renders to religion

than to share in the sufferings OF the Holy
Father.

The Queen of Wurtemburg sent 200, 600

outdone everybody else. He has gwen the

was layishly decorated with arches, pan

words "No Popery." The chancel and

ladies, dressed, of course, in the colors OF
the party. After the ordinary moTnang
service and offsrtory, the Rev. MIR. F4ana-

text the following words: "Shall not Wis,

Poetry,
A Summer Day.
by WHO KNOWS.

There's gaping rent in the curtain,
That longs for a needle and thread:
There's garment that ought to be fin
ished,
And book that wants to be read,
There letter that oug hi to be answered
There are clothes to fold away,
And know these tasks are wanting,
And ought to be done to-day,
But how can mend the curtain
While watching the silvery clouds Z
And how can finish the garment
When the robins call so louds
And the whispering trees are telling
Such stories above my head,
That cannot but lie and listen,
And the book is all unread.
If try 20 read the letter,
am SURE one half the words
Will be in the curious language
OF my chattering friends, the birds
The lilacs bloom in the sunshine,
The roses nod and smile,
And the clothes that ought to be folded
And, ironei, must wait awhile.
l lie in the cooling shadows,
And gaze at the summer sky,
Bidding the cares and troubles,
And trials Of life pass ty.
The beautiful summer blossoms
Are falling about my feet,
And the dreamy air is laden
With their odors rare and sweet.
The honey bees hum in the clover,
The grasses rise and fall,
The robin stops and listens
As ne hears the brown thrush call.
And the birds sing to me softly,
The butterfly 4 les away
oh, what could be sweeter than living
This beautiful summer dayg

A Talmudic Legend-The Crea-

A Prince once said to Rabbi Gamaliel
"Your God is thief he surprised Adam
in his sleep, and stole rib from him"
The Rabbits daughter overheard the
speech, and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking his permission 20
answer this singular opinion herself. He
gave his consent.
The girl stepped forward, and, feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms alofl
in supplication, and cried cut. Ny
liege, my liege! Sustice, Revenge."
"What has happencd!" asked the
Prince
"a wicked theft has taken place" she
replied. "a robber has crept secretly in
to our house, aud carried away silver
goblet, and left gold one in its stead"
what an upright thief" exclaimed
the Prince. Would that such robberies
were of more frequent occurrence."
Behold, then, sire, the kind of thief
that our Creator was He stole rib
from Adam, and gave beautiful wife
insteadl"
"Well said." avowed the Prince.
