Concerning COlOnels.

To call a man Colonel" is 10 convey
the idea that he is of mild, meek and
benevolent disposition. 1t is also an
evidence that he never was a soldier.
For instance, we may recall some of the
colonels of Philadelphia. There is Col
onel Forney, Colonel Mcclure, Colonel
McMichael, Colonel Scott, Colonel
Mann Colonel Fitzgerald, Colonel Phil
lips, Colonel Green and Colonel Fitz.
OF what regiment And we might
mention many more gentlemen of high
standing who have never been in the
army, and can only be called "Colonel'
as a tribute to their antipathy to blood.
Ifevery colonel was a soldier, the stand
ing army In Philadelphia would be
menace to our liberties. Their number
is as great as 1t was In ean Frincisco, to
which John PhDnix bears witness In
the following story; The steamer was
leaving the wharf, and everybody was
| taking leave of friends-all but PhGnix
who had no friends to bid him farewell
Ashamed of his Loneliness, as the boa
sheered off, he called out in loud voice
"Good by, Colonel" and, to his grea
delight, every man on the wharitool
off his hat and shouted "Colonel, good

POetical.



The &c n grows splendid on the mountain steep,
Now fingers long the warm and gorgeous light,
pyiug by slow degrees into the deep
Delicious night.
The fatal triumph ofthe perfect year,
Rises the woods magnificent array;
Beyond The purple mountain nights appear
And slope away.
Tho elm, with musical, slow motion, leaves
His long, 1.-the branches on the tender air;
While from his top OF gray, sordelo waves
His scarlet hair.
Where Spring first hid her violets meath the
fern,
Where Summers fingers opened, fold on fold,
The odorous, wild, red roses head, nov burn
The leaves OF gold.
The loftiest hlll-the lowilest towering herb
The iuirest fruit of season and of CLINE
All wear alike the mood Of the superb
hutumnal time.
Now nature pour her last and noblest wine;
Like some Bncchante, ), beside tho shining
streams
Reclines enchanted day, wrapped In divine,
Impassioned dreams.
But whore the painted leaves are falling fast,
Among the wales, beyond the rarthest hill,
There sits shadow-dim, and sad, and vast,
And fingers still.
And still we hear a voice among the hills
voice that moans among the haunted
woods,
And with the mystery ofsorrow fills
The solltudes.
For while gay Autumn silds the fruit and leaf,
And doth her farest festal garments wear,
Lo Time, all noiselcss, In the mighty sheaf,
Binds up tho year.
Tho mighty sheaf which never is uni )und--
The reaper whom your souls beseech in vain
The loved, lost year which never may be found,
Or loved apain.

lows who pretend to look down on him
In his adversities. They are fools. They
belong to the long-eared fraternity.
Anybody, with less wit, might come
out bluntly and call them asses. But Job
puts IL more deity xxx. y: "Among
the bushes they brayed; under the net
Ties they were gathered together" II
that is not wit, there is no such thing
as wit. And yet the commentators don't
see 1t, or won't see 1t. They are perfect
ly wooden when they come to any such
gleam of humor.
Take another instance-Elijah's ridi-
cule of the prophets of Baal. They are
clamoring to their God, to help them
ont of very awkward .predicament.
And, while they are at it, the prophet
shows them up In way that must have
made the the peopleroar with laughter.
The stiff, antiquated style of our Eng
lish Bible tames down his sallies. Take
them In modern phrase. These quack
prophets have worked themselves into
perfect desperation, and are capering
about on the altar as If they had the st.
Vitus' dance. lThe scene II Kings, xviii.
26, 27) wakes up all Elijah's sense of the
ridiculous. "Shout louder! He is
god, you know. Make him hearl Per-
haps he Is chatting with somebody, or
he is off on hunt, or gone travelling.
Or maybe he Is taking a nap. Shout
awayi Wake him up!" Imagine the
priests going through their antics on
the altar, while Elijah bombards them
in this style, at his leisure. If Mr..
Beecher ever said anything that con-
vulsed his audience more thoroughly
than the prophet must have done the
Jews around him, should like to hear
1t.
Paul shows dry humor more than
once, as In III. Cor. xii. l3: "Why
haven't you Jared as we'll as the other
churches? All! there is one grievance
that you haven't had me to support
Pray do not lay it up against mel"
These instances might be multiplied
from the Old and New Testament both.
What do they show? That the Bible is,
on the whole, humorous book? Far
from it. That religion is humorous
subject-that we are to throw all the
wit we can into the treatment of it?
No. But they show that the sense Of
the ludicrous is put into man by his
Maker; that it has its uses and that
we are not to be ashamed of it, or to roll
up our eyes in holy horror oft.

BLAZING HIS WAY.-Peter Cart
wright having been brought up in log
cabin, did not like climbing stairs, and
when he took up his quarters in hotel
he preferred rooms on lower floor. He
once went to Chicago and booked him-

was assigned to room in the eighth or
ninth story. Soon after being shown
to his room, Cartwright rang the bell.
A waiter was promptly In attendance.

HORSE ESENsE.-Thomas Drummond,

HORSE ESENsE.-Thomas Drummond,
a teamster in our city, owns a horse,
which has been afflicted with lameness
for two or three weeks past. One morn
ing Mr.. Drummond turned him
out upon the common, hoping that fresh
air and exercise, would benefit the all
NAL. Upon gaining his liberty the Grip
pied horse hobbled alone on three legs
direct to the blacksmith shop of VIM.
Eager, entered the shoeing department
and stood there holding up the injured
foot, with his head turned and his eyes
intelligently fixed upon Mr.. Eager.
This peculiar act on the part of brute
attracted Mr.. Els attention and induc d
him to examine the foot held Inviting.
ly up for inspection. The result Of that
examination was the discovery of long
nail driven into the frog, which was the
cause OF the lameness. OF course Mr..
Eager removed the nall. There was
something more than instinct In this
act. 1t was good horse sense. Mr..
Drummond generally has his horses
shod at Esger's shop, and the suffering
brute undoubtedly reasoned that this
was the place for him to go for relief

Sarcastic People.

When the sarcastic man uses his gift
for the good Of his kind, he may, per-
haps, be tolerated in society. There ex-
ist a few people who are at once benevo.
lent and sarcastic, who are too noble to
use this dangerous weapon upon people
who are weak and blundering, who are
too just to use it against people who do
not deserve it, but who take an exquisite
pleasure in finishing the fellow who
overbearingly treads on the toes Of
every one about him. We know one or
two ladies in particular whose biting
sarcasm isan inestimable blessing, a shell
ter to the weak, and certain destruc.
ton to the oppressor. But these kindly
disposed individuals are rarely met
with. Generally speaking, the sarcastic
man or woman thinks IL the most de.
lightful thing In the world to hurt other
people with the poisoned arrows Of Ill.
natured speech. What such people call
conversation Is death to their victims.
Indeed, their pleasures are Identical
with the refined joys Of q party ofurchins
pelting pond of frogs to death. The
frogs cannot help themselves, aud it Is
such fun to kill them! There are occa-
sions when sarcasm is an excellent wea-
pom but it should never be used except
in self defence. Advancing civilization,
which has abolished the thumb'screw
and rack, which has put away the pis.
tol and bowie-knife, will some day
abolish the. finer savagery of sarcasm.
And let us hope that in the good-breed-
ing of the latter.day, wit will be no
cover for meanness, ,smartness no excuse
for malignity; that the man who airs
his smartness by sayingan unkind thing
will be socially abolished, unless he can
show that he spoke in elfdefence or
to use the cant of the day-in moment
of temporary insanity"

W. H. Milliken, indicted for horse
stealing, is on trial before the Criminal
Court. Milliken, it will be remembered
was arrested some months since on the
charge of stealing two horses from a
livery stable on Second street, near
Union, and for attempting to fire the
building, he having wrapped cotton
thread around the stalls and buggies,
and saturated the same with coal oil,
but was frightened away ere he could
apply the match. Milliken was arrested,
and the horses recovered in Mississippi.
