proceeded far before two of the keepers
managed to get before him, and by the
aid OF their spears stopped him. He was
brought back, and reached the door OF
the car, when he suddenly turned around
and repeated his previous manoouvrc
Again he was brought back, but blows
from the sticks and spears could not make
the unruly and obstinate brute enter the
cars.
AT last Captain Smalley suggested that
the baby should be brought out of the car
again, with the idea that when Raiah saw
it come out and re-enter he would follow
it. After little coaxing and a sop of
sponge cake and sugar candy the Cap
tain's idea had the desired effect Slow
ly feeling every inch Of his way, and not
moving more than an inch at time, Ra-
jah at las walked into the car. No soon
er had the feat been accomplished than
trusses of hay aud barrels Of water were
placed in each car, the barrels being
screwed to the sides and bottoms I The
Superintendent of the line also ordered
a carpenter to bore several holes in each
Car two inches in diameter, in order to
give the animals plenty of air A bag
gage and passenger car was furnished
for the keepers and others, and soon af-
ter they were loaded powerful engine
was attached and the train started off on

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY. Mr.. Critten-
den, of Kentucky, was at one time engag-
ed in defending man who had been in
dicted for capital offence. After an
elabcrat and powerful defence, he closed
his effort with the following striking and
beautiful allegory:
"When God in his eternal council con-
ceived the thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers who wait
constantly upon the throne-Justice, Truth
and Mercy-and thus addressed them :
Shall we make man p Then said Justice.
50, God make him not. for he will tram
pie upon thy laws Truth made answer
also, 90, God, make him not. for he will
pollutc thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy,
dropped upon her knees. and looking up
through her tears, exclaimed, 80, God
make him-I will watch over him with
my care through all the dark paths which
he may have to tread Then God made
man, and said to him. % man thou art
the child of Mercy 60 and deal with thy
brother.

Nearer Home.

One SWeetly solemn thought
Comes TO me DER and DER;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than | ever have been before.
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But the waves Of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on a shore of light.
Oh if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
If it be am nearer home
Even to-day than | think,
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
ON the Rock Of Il living faith.

A pleasant piece of poetic Justice is re

A pleasant piece Of poetic justice IS re-
ported from q town in Oregon. One morn
ing . young man called upon the editor Of
the only paper in the county, and asked
permission to look at the files of that pa
per for 1869. 1t was granted. While the
editor was in bed, waiting till his wife
could wash his shirt, that young man car
ried away the file, nor was it ever seen
again until his lawyer offered it in evil
dcnce during the trial of an action for
So, 900 damages for an alleged libel, which
that young man brought against the editor.
1t is gratifying to learn that the plaintiff
recovered - cents damages, and was
arrested by the editor on charge of steal
ing books, convicted and sent to the Peni-
tentiary for seven years.

An awful warning to scolding wives
comes from Milwaukee, A woman in that
city was "jawing' her children, the
neighbors, a hired girl, and everybody
in general, when her husband entered and
interposed mild word. She opened her
mouth for an angry reply, but spasm
contracted her cheek, her lower jaw fell
and she could neither speak nor shut her
mouth, but remain in that condition, her
tongue hung out, and her eyes nearly
started out Of their sockets. She had dis
located her jaw bone in her violent effort
to make singing reply to her husband.
A surgeon was called, who reduced the
dislocation, bound up her head, and pre-
scribed cruel diet. The old man is now
enjoying the quietest time he has had for
forty wears.

TIE SENSITIVE GROCER. The New
buryport Herald tells of Il grocer who for
mcrly kept shop there. and was noted for
his grasping dispositions:
One day he nailed 4 salt cod on one OF
the shutters Of his shop, and underneath
it he wrote in chalk, Goldfish for sale
cheap for cash here Presently, in came
an acquaintance and said: ''What do
you have 'here' on that sign above Goldfish
for? You don't sell goldfish or any other
goods in any place but here. Any fool
would know where you sold them with
out that word" ''That's So" said the
grocer; ''boy, wipe out the word here ON
the Goldfish sign The boy obeyed, and
the next day another critic appeared.
Said he, ''For cash who ever knew YOU
to trust for any goods? Why do you say
that you sell Goldfish for cash, when every
body knows that you sell all your goods
for cash ?' ''You are right" said the
groccr-''boy, wipe out the words for
cash from the Goldfish sign This was
done, and shortly after i third critic came
to the shop, objected to the word cheap
"Who ever knew you TO undersel other
dealers2" said he, ''you don't sell any
cheaper than they. Your price is Just the
same as theirs and more if you can get it.
Cheap? cheap? whatdo youhave that word
for? ?" ''Wcll, it is not of much use, .
said the grocer; 'boy, wipe out the word
'chea,' from the Goldfish sign" Again
the boy did as his master bade, and the
same day, critic number four found fault
with the phrase ''tor salc.' Said he,
"For sale no one ever knew you to . i've
away Goldfish. OF course you keep them
for sale, there is no occasion for telling
people what everybody knows" ''Therc
is something in that" said the grocer
''boy, wipe out 'for sale from the Goldfish
sign" This left the salt fish and the
single word ''codlish'' beneath. 1t was
but few minutes after that u customer,
who came in to buy some goods, remark
ed to the grocer, ''what q funny sign
you've got out here; what darned fool
wouldn't know that is a Goldfish nailed on
your shutter" $50 they would was
the reply; ''boy wipe out the word cod
fish from that sign The boy obeyed,
and the fish remained with no inscription

Society is to be reconstructed on the
subject Of woman's toll A vast majority
of those who would have woman industri-
ons, shut her up TO n few kinds of work.
My judgment in this matter is, that Il wo-
man has right to do anything she can do
we'll There should be no department of
merchandise, mechanism, art or science
barred against her. If Miss Hosmer has
Il genius for sculpture, give her a chisel.
If Rosa Bonheur has fondness for sketch
ing animals, let her make "The Horse
Fair" If Miss Mitchell will study astron-
omy, let her mount the starry ladder. If
Lydia will q be merchant, let her sell
purple. If Lucretia Mott will preach the
gospel, let her thrill, with her womanly
eloquence, the Quaker meeting houses.

How To GET RICH. Josh Billings ought

How TO GET R[CH. Josh Billings ought
to have this secret But he's a little late
and so we fix it up for him, as II contribu-
ton for his next "allminaX' A couple
of uncducated but apparently well-to-do
Boston men, in active business, on Satur-
day last came together upon 4 busy street
corner, where for Il few minutes they had
a red-hOt chat over some trivial business
matter. The pilh of the thing was this:
One had been doing something for the
other, and to get even for his work had
sent in u bill, which was regarded rather
steep. After u little savage and rather
profanc talk, the man who had done the
work Strengthened himself out and sugar
ed the thing off into Il bit of ''Josh''
philosophy, and in a very cool bur digniti
ed manner said to him interrogatively-
"Well, amt it better to be Il id hog
and get good pay for what you do, than
to be good fellow and get kicked from
pillar TO post 2' If that remark don't con
tain, in nutshell, the secret of success i'll
business, then what does?

A JOLLY FUNERAL. We see periodically
in the papers abstract of the wills of de-
ceased persons who have left more or
less Of the good things oflife behind them
in the shape of worldly riches; and the
mouths of some of us have possibly some-
times watered that we had not place in
the corner of some said will But the
most curious will we ever remember to
have read of is one made by an inhabitant
of Montgaillard, who died 1922. His last
will and testament was as follows:
cit is my will that any one of my rela-
tions who shall presume to shed tears at
my funeral shall be disinherited He on
the other hand, who laughs the most heart
lily shall be sole heir [ order that neither
the church nor the hearse shall be hung
with black cloth, but that on the day OF
my BURIAL the hearse and church shall be
decorated with flowers and green boughs.
Instead of the tolling of bells, will have
drums, 1ddes and flies. All the musicians
in Montgaillard and its environs shall at
tend the funeral. Fifty of them shall open
the procession with hunting tunes, waltzes
and minuets" [Once Week

Sorrow is the heirloom of all; the
great heritage of human kind. Not sun
sets in the west that does not see rising
from the earth mist of tears. Not a
bright smile CLEANS on the human face
that is not intermingled with the shadow
of fear, of trouble or sorrow. This sor-
row, this common heritage, we may de-
pend upon it, is felt in royal palaces, in
noble halls, as well as looking up from
the damp cellar below the street, or look
ing down from the wrctched garret that
is above. The royal mother feels when
she loses her first-born, as kcenly as the
poorest beggar-woman. There is a dead
level on which humanity tics; and if you
can disrobe the greatest noble and take
his rags off the most wretched beggar,
you will find there is the same human
heart and the same immortal soul in both.
