The SHEEP LEAP--The St. Louis Dem.
ocrat prints this beautiful little story =
"There is a covered bridge at Peoria Eve
hundred feet above high water marx. A
drover recently attempted to drive thou
sand sheep across. When about half way
over the bell-wether noticed ar open win
dow, and recognizing his destiny, made a
strike for glory and the grave. When he
reached the sunlight he at once appreciated
his critical situation, and, with leg strech-
ed towards each cardinal point of the CON-
pass, he uttered plaintive 'Ma-a!' and
descended to his fate. The next sheep and
next followed, initiating the gesture and
remark of the leader For hours it rained
sheep. The ere while placid stream was
incarnadine with the life blood of moribund
mutton, and not until the brief tail of the
last sheep as it disappeared through the
window waved adieu to this wretched
world, did the movement cease"

SHASTA COURIER,

This good story is told of Judge Rice,
lately. About the commencement of the
war, he made speech in North Alabama,
in which he said that the. Southern soldiers
could whip the Yankees with pop-guns.-
Since the war, he chanced to make another
speech at the same place. A big, double
jointed fellow was present who heard and
remembered the former speech, and being in
no amiable frame Of mind, concluded to 60
for Sam. Rolling uphis sleeves and popping
his fist in the palm of his hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question:
"Sam Rice, didn't you make a speech
here in 1861 ?'
~ did," said Sam.
Sand didn't you say that we could whip
the Yankees with pop-guns 2"
"Certainly did, but the ID rasoals
wouldn't fight that way ?"

A School FoR ScoLDrNG.-In the early
part of the present century scolding was re-
garded among a certain class in England as
an art to be improved by systematic cultiva.
ton. A witness giving evidence before a
Poor Law Committee many years ago. testi
fed that in one instance within his knowledge
there was night school kept by an old wo.
man for the sole purpose of instructing chill
dren, and especially girls, how to scold with
vigor and effect One pupil would assume a
fictitious character, called Mother Barlow.
and she would be pitted against another, who
would be called Mother Cummins, in con-
test of verbal abuse, the teacher encouraging
and prompting first one and then the other
as the exigencies of the case may require.
Such tuition wasconsidered useful to the girls,
not only to enable them to ''defend their sta
tions" in the streets, but also as tending to
qualify them for the position of wives and
mothers.

AN UNMIsTAKEABLE CALI

Somebody is always telling stories of the
Hard Shell Baptists Wags have the
run of them, and they may as well be con-
tent and bear it. The following was told
Of them long since. Our informant 10.
Gates it among the mountains Of North
Carolina, where the Hardshells are quite
numerous, and where they believe pretty
strongly in dreams and voices. In the i'm
portant matter of call to the ministry, a
dream or voice is considered almost in.
dispensable.
Now it came to pass that a man by the
name Of Walker felt himself considerably
moved to "hold forth and kept, "spread-
ing the fleece" GideJn-like, to ascertain
his duty in the premises. To assist him
in his pious investigations, he called at
still one evening to get some of the
"good critter." After refreshment, the
story runs, he left for home, and on the
way he felt " moved" to go into the grove
few hundred yards from the road thar
to wrastle on the subject" While he was
wrastling" most earnestly, scarcely out
done by the patriarch, some one passed the
road with long cared animal, politely
called Jack Donkey, and Jack led of,
as his race gre wont to do sometimes, in q
most moving and thrilling manner.
Walkers imagination, by his earnest
" wrastling," was wrought up to great in
tensity, and he converted Major Jacks
discordant mrsic, which to most people
resembles the fling of a mill-saw, into
call from Heaven urging him to preach
the Gospel No time was to be lost. He
rose from his knees duly commissioned,
went to the church, and demanded q IL
cense, when the pastor interrogated him
thus:
Do you believe Brother Walker, YOU
are called of God to preach, as was Aa-
ron ?"
"Most sartinly 1 do"
Give the church, that is the bretherin
proof"
i was nightly difikclted, and was
determined to go out into the woods and
wrastle it off,"
"That's it, Brother Walker"
And while there, wrastlin, Jacob-like,
| hearn one of the curiosest voices ever
hearn in all my born days."
"You are on the right track Brother
Walker, 90 on with your noration."
Il couldn't tell for the life of me whsth.
er the voice was up in the air or down in
the sky, it sounded SO curious"
:" Poor creetur, how he was difikelted.
Go on to norate, Brother. How did it ap-
pear to sound unto you ?''
Why, this away. sWaw.waw kor !;
waw-waw-waw-ker! Gopreach, go preach,
go preach-ee, go preach-ah, go preach uh,
go preach -ah- ah-uh- ee- ah-uh.ee.'"
Brutherin and sisteiin, that's the right
sort OF q call. Enough said. Brother
Walker. That's none of your college calls.
No doctor of divinity ever got such call
as that. Brother Walker must have Ii.
cense, sartain and sure"
The license was granted, and doubtless
Walker made the mountains ring with his
stentorian eloquencc.

related the parable of malicious individ.

is tare ? Tell me, my son, what tare

One unusually snterprising, tells Of a;phan-
tom funeral pageant which passes over tie
New York Central Railraaa in the month
of April in every year. 1t is to be seen by
night watchnler, who describe it Gs moving
With such solsmnity and silence that theil
very watches stop-or, rather, are paralyzed
into iHaction as the dreadful train with ;ta
skeleton escort, gloomy, black banners and
soundless music goes gliding past. The
silence is so deadly that q real train, with
all its attendant crash and noise, will be 90
absorbed in it that it sweeps by as no;ss-
lessly as shadow while the spell lasts.-
That story comes from the East from the
West we have another. Last March there
was killed, in an accident on the st. Paul
and Pacific Road, section foreman named
Connolly. He had been faithful work
man and greatly attached to his road. His
successor has for some time past been very
much annoyed by mysterious interference,
in the mislaying of tools, ETC., and at times,
both by day and night, ho has been men
aced and threatened by shadowy form,
which he recognizes as his predecessor.
The engineers of the road have also seen
him; he has warned them Of danger. of
imaginary snow banks through which they
can feel their engines plowing, hunts up
broken rails, and with an ethereal crowbar
prizes them up, and in many other ways
