Gigantic Dwarf.

A simple minded young French
man, on coming to Paris, was anx-
ious to see the famous General Tom
Thumb, then in France, and asked
a town friend where he might find
him.
The mischievous wag gave him the
address of Lablache the ponderous
and sp erical passo of the opera.
Hither the rustic hied. He rang
the bell, and the door, by a chance
trick of fortune, was opened by the
obese artist in person. The alarmed
visitor drew back in confusion.
"A thousand pardons, Monsieur,
there must be a mistake; l hoped to
see Tom Thumb ~ -ts--
Lablaehe, taking in the situation
at a glance, and enjoying the joke,
gravely replied: z ti3. ..'-- ---l
''Sir, there is no error; l am Tom
Thumb" 9l-- .---l IN
"Why-no-certainly, why, l
thought Tom Thumb was very small
gasps the astonished visitor. '-
'Oh! that's no NATTER replied the
basso graciously: Before the public
you see, 1 am small-very small iu-
deed-suiting the action to the word
and holding his hand about two
feet above the floor-'but here at
home'-rising to his full height,put-
ting his thumbs in the arlnholes OF
his waistcoat, and swelling out that
resonant rotundity which was wont
to shake the fayer with its thunders

Be Neat,

What good, kind person wants to
hold a child with a dirty dress on,
or kiss a dirty face? 1 am sure l
never saw one that did. You want
good persons to take notice of and
love you, don'tyou? Be neat. New
er go with soiled or torn dresses, dir
ty faces, or uncombed hair. When
1 was a little girl, 1 always
had to wash my face and comb my
hair before going to the table in the
morning, or go without my break
fast. And a very good way it is, l
think. 1 know little girls who
ever think of doing such think of
doing such a thing, unless they are
told to do it. If you are not tidy
when you are small, you will not be
so when you are older; and then too
if you are careless aboutyour looks,
you will be apt to get careless about
your actions by and by.
If you want to live in the King
dom of Heaven, you must see to it
that your hearts are kept clean, and
let no naughty thoughts detlle them
for only "The pure in heart shall
see God.'--CongregatiOnGtist.

Weeds.

l was once walking with farm
er through beautiful field, when
he CHANGED to see tall thistle on
the other side of the fence. In an
instant he sprang over the fence, and
cut it off close to the ground. 'r
''Is that your fieldw l asked. a
'Oh no." said the farmer, "but
bad weeds don't care much for fenc
es, and if | should leave that thistle
to blossom in my neighbours field, l
should soon have plenty in my own"
l wish all fathers and mothers
with think of that. The evil weeds
in your neighbours field will scatter
seeds into your own. So it is
worth while to pull them up in. self
defence. Try to influence the little
untaught child to follow the tSood,
the true, and the beautiful, not only
for his own sake, but lest he SOW evil
seed in the heart of your own child,
in spite of all your careful tending.
Every weed pulled up in your neigh
bor's field, is q dangerous enemy
driven away from your own.

Paving Barnyards.

"A Subscriber" Madison Co., o.,
wishes to pave his barnyard i'll the
cheapest manner. The paving OF
barn yards is a matter of great econ
Omy to farmer and it is 4 won
der that so great proportion is per-
mitted to remain unpaved. The
whole of the work can be done by
the farm help, land therefore 40 mon
ey need be laid out, The best ma
terial is cobble-stoDes, chosen of Il
regular size and shape, the best
shape being one longer than it is
broad, or somewhat the shape of an
egg, blunt at the largest end. Tie
yard should be evenly graded with
the plow, and carefully leveled, so
that the lowest spot is just where
the drainage is wanted, either in the
center or at one corner. Then, scoop
out of the loose earth q hole large
enough to receive the eni of the
stone, place the stone in The hole,
and proceed with the next-ram-
ming the stone DOWN partly with the
end of the handle where is the iron
ferule. Care must be taken to make
the holes deep enough to permit the
tops of the stones to maintain q reg
ular level. When a few stones are
placed, the operator should stand on
them ,and then the loose earth scoop
ed up will fall between them, filling
up the hollows and making all soliG.
When the yard is laid all over, the
rammer which is a round piece OF
wood as heavy as can be convenient
ly handled and shod with an
iron ring, should be used to
drive the stones down solidly and
firm, keeping a Level surface. When
the yard is finished, a barrel of wa
ter-lime may be procured, and thin
coating of cement brushed all over,
which will make it water eight. All
liquid manure may then be saved
and this item alone will soon pay
the expense incurred. With q yard
thus paved, and we'll Uttered in the
center, everything can be kept clean
and comfortable. There will be no
mud in winter, no danger, of cows
slipping and injuring themselves, for
the surface is rough, and gives 4
good hold for the feet. Hogs can
not root it up when turned out in
the yard,and general Improvement
will be experienced in everything ap-
pertaining to the barn and barn
yard Am. A gel.

Crooked Habits.

While shaking hands with an old
man, the other day, we noticed that
some gers were quite bent in
ward, and he had not power OF
Strengthening them. Abiding to
this fact, he said: "In these crook
ed fingers there is a good text for a
talk to children. For over fifty
years / nsed to drive q stage,
and these bent fingers show the
the effect of holding the reins for so
many years.
This is the text. Is it not 4
suggestive one? Does it not teach
how oft-repcated acts become hab-
it which once acquired, remains gen
orally through life?
The old mans crooked fingers,
dear children, are but an emblem of
the crooked tempers, words and ac-
tions of men and women.

an innocent man suffer for me
About a month ago j committed .
burglary on a store in Broadway,
The circumstances of the crime are
curious. For. some time a pal Of
mine and myself had watched one
of the clerks OF the store and no
ticed his every action. He was
used TO close the place nightly, and
we remarked that he put the key OF
the place in a certain pocket. My
pal was an expert pickpocket, and
to him was intrusted the duty of
getting that key away from him. He
got on the same car with thar clerk,
and in the confusion. succeeded in
robbing him OF the key. That
night we managed to open the store,
and stole a pile o. things. But
something we had not expected
happened. The clerk from whom
we had taken the key was suspected
of committing the erobbery, was tried
and condemned to State prison.
Without condemning ourselves we
could not save him, so we let the
case go. But now ON my death bed
L confess to you as l hope absolu-
tion, that Louis Timian, who was
convicted of robbing the store of
Jackson & Co., in Broadway, is in
trust to you the task Of rescuing
him."
The priest heard the man through.
Will you make that statement il
writingP he asked.
The dying man, with his remain
ing strength, wrote out the account
as we have given it above.
When that was done he sank back
insensible, never to revive again in
this world.
When Purdy was dead the priest
fastened to the authorities and ex-
hibited the confession.
This was enough, but the law has
many delays. 1t was not for a whole
day that the authorities ordered the
release of Louis Timian from Sing
Sing prison. The order was com
municated to the condemned mans
sister.
With the officer of the court she
took the first train to the famous
State Prison. Her joy, her fears
were lndiscribable. She at last had
that in her hand which proved the
innocence of her brother.
She descended from the train with
the officer, and undertook the tedi-
Gus walk which leads to the prison.
In the hallway they met the su-
perintendent of the prison and ex-
hibited the order of release.
The superintendent gave a pity
ing look to the sister, and without 4
word led the way down the steps
which led TO the interior of the
prison.
They arrived in front of a cell.
" Is this my brothers cell?" asked
the sister anxIously.
"Yes it was this morning" an
swered the superintendent.
And saying this he threw open
the door.
A CHASTITY sight met their view.
Hung to the door of the cell was
the body of Louis Timian, perfectly
dead. He had committed suicide.
Such is Human Justice.
