A respectable man of the county of Mont
gomery resided on the banks of the Hud-
son River. One day he went to bay on
the river to shoot ducks or wild geese.
When he came to the river he saw six
geese beyond shot. He determined to
wait for them to approach the shore.
While sitting there he saw fox come down
to the shore, and stand some time and OBJ
serve the geese. At length he turned and
went into the woods, and came out with a
very large bunch of moss in his mouth.
He then entered the water very silently,
sank himself, and then keeping the moss
above water--himselfco concealed floated
among the geese. Suddenly one of them
was drawn under the water, and the fox soon
appeared on the shore with the goose on his
back.
He assembled the bank and found hole
made by the tearing up of tree. This
hole he cleared, placed in the goose, and
covered with great care, strewlng leaves
over it. The fox then left; and while he
was away the hunter unburied the goose,
and closed the hole, and then resolved to
await the issue.
In about half an hour the fox returned
with another fox in company. They went
directly to the place where the goose had
been buried, and threw out the earth. The
goose could not be found. They stood re-
garding each other for some time, when
suddenly, the second fox attacked the Other
furiously, as if offended by the trick of his
friend-Mu,rGys Creation.

Whining.

There is class of persons in this world,
by no means small, whose prominent pecu-
liarity is whining. They whine because
they are poor; or if rich, because they have
no health to enjoy their riches; they whine
because it is too rainy; they whine because
they have mo luck and Others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because some
friends have died and they are still living
they whine because they have aches and
pains, and they have aches and pains be-
cause they whine, and they whine, no one
can tell why. Now, we would like to say
a word to these whining persons: 1. Stop
whining! 1t is no use, this everlasting
complaining, fre;tIng, scolding, fault-tind-
ing and whining. Why you are the most
deluded set of creatures that ever lived.
Do you not know that it is a well settled
principle of physiology and common sense
that these habits are more exhausting to ner-
vous vitality than almost any other viola
ton of physiological law? And do you
not know that life is pretty much as you
take it and make it? You Can make it
bright and sunshiny, or you can make it
dark and shadowy. This life is only meant
to discipline us-to fit us for higher and
purer state of being. Then stop whining
and fretting, and go on your way rejoicing.

There was great burst of relief in the
crowded assembly when the woman's state
ment had come to an end.
She was closely cross examined, as q mat

was sought for, and was obtained The
end OF it was that, at late hour on the
second evening, thejury acquitted the pris-
oner without leaving their box. 1t was
not too much to say that his life had been
saved by his brother. His brother alone
had persisted, from first to last, in obsti-
nately disbelieving the clock-for no bet

gate the girl, knowing nothing and suspect
ing nothing simply determined to persist
in the one everlasting question with which
he prosecuted everybody: 1.-THE clock is
going to hang my brother; can you tell me
anything about the clock ?"
Four months later the mystery of the
crime was cleared up. One of the disrep-
utable companions of the murdered man
confessed on his death-bed that he had
done the deed There was nothing inter-
esting or remarkable in the circumstances.
Chance, which had put innocence in peril,
had offered impunity to guilt An infa-

spot-these were really the commonplace
materials which had composed the trag-
edy of Pardon's Piece.

HOSPITAL FOR FooLs.-Some one writes
that in Amsterdam there used to be a hos
pital for fools; but there was so much con-
tention as to who should occupy it-so ma
ny ought to, and so few were willing to go
there, that the charitable enterprise was
finally abandoned. Some waggish citizens
urged the building sp of the old walls Of
the town, and covering them with great
roof, as the most convenient and least dis
eliminating asylum which could be erect
ed. And this jest had much to do with
the extinction of an institution which is so
much needed that it can never be establish
ed anywhere.

A SMALLPOX PATIENT BURIED ALIVE,
The Milwaukee Wisconsin vouches for

According to the regulations recently pass
ed by the board of health, he was buried
shortly after his decease. His sister, who
it seems, was not satisfied with the hasty
manner in which her brother was disposed
of, was so worked up by the circumstances
and 50 certain that all was not right, thai
to satisfy herself she had the body exhum
ed some six hours after the burial. To he
own joy, and to the amazement of thos'
who had pronounced the man dead, it WA
found that indications of life still remain

at once taken back to the house, and at'c
considerable exertion and the applying .
the proper restoratives, he was virtual.

A WONDERFUL BRIDeE.-The bridge now
in process of erection across the Mississippi
at St. Louis, is one of the wonders of the
age 1t is to be tubular, cast steel, arch
bridge, supported by the abutments and
two piers the latter are SIS feet apart, and
497 feet each from its nearest abutment,
making three spans of 500 feet each. Its
greatest span is the same as that of the
Kuilenberg Bridge over the Leck, an arm
of the Rhine, in Holland. Telford's sus-
pension bridge across the Menai Straits
has span of $40 feet. The Victoria tubu-
lar iron bridge of Montreal exceeds this
greatly in length, being 5000 feet, at
miles,, but it rests upon twenty-four piers,
and its spans are mainly only 275 feet. The
suspension bridge at Niagara spans S21
feet, and is 245 feet above the water. The
East River Bridge will span 1900 feet, at
height midway CT 1870 feet.

| SAD RESULTS OF THE USE OF ToB Acco.--
An example of the ill-effects resulting from
the use of tobacco has recently been brought
to notice, which is worthy the attention Of
the good Mr.. Trask and his coadjutors in
the crusade against the obnoxious weed.
In Virginia Mrs. Chloe Flatford, of Fred
ericksburg, became addicted to the use of
tobacco at an early period of her life, and
the habit of smoking and chewing became
so strong with her that she was unable to
comfortably exist without its indulgence.
For one hundred years this misguided wo-
man continued the daily use of tobacco,
and only gave it up at her death, which oc-
CURED when she was one hundred and
eighteen years old. This sad case shows
how long bad habit, once acquired will
sometimes cling to person.

There is, perhaps, no disease with which our

so many victims as that fell destroyer of the

year after year, the insatiate monster hurries
to the cold and silent portals Of the tomb fresh

is sacred from its blighting influence. No age
is exempt from its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young. all alike,
are food for this ommon enemy of mankind.
Tbs white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
psranes has rendered his system impervious to
the attacks ofother ills, and whose good deeds
