Pimpkin Versus BOdkin.

Jeremiah Pimpkin was an honorable citizen and householder, and among his class he was an oracle. He hattered him. self on his shrewdness. He often declared that he should have been lawyer. He fancied that Solon Bodkin, Esquire, would have tared but slimly against him in fo- rensic contest. Pimpkin raised turkeys, and upon certain occasion it happened that proving dog made raid upon his flock and killed four fine gobblers that were being fatted for the Thanksgiving market. Pimpkin make due inquiry and investigation, and satisfied himself beyond a peradventure that the marauding canine was the property of Lawyer Bodkin. Here was an opportunity he had long coveted. He waited upon the lawyer in his office, and was warmly welcomed, and invited to seat.
 "Squire,," said Pimpkin, "s'pose a neighbours dog should kill lot. of my turkeys, could I recover damages by law?'
 Certainly" replied Bodkin, "you can recover-that is, if you can prove the fact"
 70, I can prove it. I've got the evi. dence all right and tight. And so you think there can be no doubt9"
 "Not in the least. And now, what are the circumstances"
 "Well, Squire, last night your dog killed four of my best turkeys. What do you think about it now2"
 "Why, my dear sir, I think you can recover That is the law. What is the amount of damaged"
 "Them turkeys was worth dollar apiece, Squire. Four dollars will settle"
 "All right," said Bodkin. '' wish to deal legally. Here is the sum-"
 And the lawyer handed over the four dollars. which Pimpkin took with 8 chuckle, and then departed.
 Jeremiah Pimpkin had reached his home, having related his sharp practice with tho lawyer to all his friends whom he had met on the way, end had just told the story to his wife, when Deputy Sheriff Reacher unceremoniously entered his domicile.
 "A small bill, MT. Plmpkin, which Squire Bodkin says l will collect or he will sue it to-day"
 "A bill!-Squire Bodkin!" echoed Pimpkin, aghast.
 "Yes," smiled the Sheriff-a bill for professional services in the case of Pimp- kin versus Bodkin.' He says you sought advice upon legal points bearing on the case. The bill is five dollars, sir-ex- pense of officer, one dollar-total, six dollars"
 Pimpkin scratched his head vigorously, but he could scratch no path out from the trouble. He paid the bill, and from that time he was never heard to speak boast ingly of his legal acumen.

" And what of Jennie 2" "She married Coutet."

QUEER WAY TO MEND BROKEN LEG This morning, writes correspondent from Rome, Italy, on the 10th of August, an English gentleman, with a forid face and white whiskers was returning to Rome on bis horse, after taking ride in the neighborhoodo of the Porta Pla. In cross ing the via Felice' the horse unfortunately stumbled and fell. The animal rose un- hurt, but the gentleman had dislocated his knee by the fall. Several persons ran to his assistance and carried him to a house. The faces of the bystanders were full of alarm and pity, while that of the brave Englishman remained unmoved; h1s checks were as red and his face as calm as before the accident. As soon as they had seated him in an armchair, he began to feel his knee carefully. s'Shall we send for doctor ?" tbey asked. 'Oh Inc, is there carpenter near here ?' he inquired. "Yes, there is one close by." s'Be so kind as to help me togo to him." Half laughing and half inclined to tbink he was insane, two young men took him to the joiners. Once more seated, he asked for a sheet and rolled it round hls leg. Then, after once moro feeling the knee joint, he put it into the screw-vice and told the joiner to tighten it prudcntly. At frs, with some hesitation, and atterward en- couraged by the composure and authorita- tive manner of the foreigner, the man did as he was told and frightened the screw slowly, while the patient made the most singular grimace, till at last he called out 'Enough!'' and tossing crown to the carpenter got on his horse and galloped away, leaving the bystanders convulsed with laughter at this singular chirurgical operation.

A Sermon on ssPush.''

When Cousin Will was home for vaca- tion, the boys always expected plenty of fun. The last frolic before he went back to his studies was long tramp after hazle nuts. As they were hurrying along in high glee, they came upon a discouraged looking man and 8 dis couraged looking cart.
 The cart was standing before an or chard. The man was trying to pull it up hill to his own house. The boys did not wait to be invited, but ran to help with good will. ''Push, push," was the cry. The man frightened up the cart trundled along as fast as rheumatism stood panting at the top of the hill. just wait minute ; and he hurried into the house, while two or three pink ap- roned children peeped out of the door.
 "Now boys," said Cousin Will, " this is a small thing but I wish we could all take motto out of it and keep it for fife. "Push !' it is just the word for a grand clear morning like this.
 eff anybody is 1n trouble, and you see it, don't stand back push ]"
 eff there's anything good doing in any place where you happen to be, push p
 Whenever there's 8 kind thing, 8 Christian thing, a happy thing, plea sant thing, whether it is your own or not, whether it is at home or in town, at church or at school, just help with all your might push !''
 At that moment the farmer came out with dish of his wife's best dough nuts and dish of his own best apples and that was the end of the little sermon.

SagacitY of q Mare.

A remarkable instance of the sagacity ( is it not reason ? of horse has come to our notice. MT. John Fletcher of Norwegian, owns an unbroken cayuse mare which runs in pasture adjoining his house, The mare, which is very wild, has young colt at her side. A few nights since, after MT. Fletcher had returned, he was aroused by the mare coming to the window of his house, and by paving, neighing. and in every way possible trying to get his attention. This continuing for some time he got up and went out and drove her away, and returned again to bed ; but she imme- diately returned, and if possible in- creased her demonstrations he again went out, when the mare came up to him and rubbed her nose against him, although always before she had been very shy of allowing any one to come within reach of her, then ran on few yards before him continuing her neigh ing then, as he did not follow her, she returned to him rubbing against him in the most demonstrative manner. He attempted to drive her off, struck her with stick, and followed her few yards to frighten her away. As soon, however, as he turned toward the house she returned and tried in every way to prevent him from doing so. He then remarked that her colt was not with her, fact he had not noticed before as 1t was quite dark. It occurred to him then to follow her, which he did. So soon as she saw he was doing so she ran off before him, stopping every few yards, turning around to see that he was still following, then again running on keep ing up her calling, until she reached a distant part of the field 1; where she stopped at an old prospect hole" On coming up with her she again com menced rubbing against him, and drew his attention to the hole, where he soon discovered the colt. It appears it had slipped into it and was unable to get out, and the mare had taken this method to obtain assistance. Being unable to get it out alone, MT. Fletcher went for some of his neigobors, and with them returned. While they were taking the little fellow out the mare manifested the most intense delight, and seemed almost beside herself with joy and afterward, when the men had got out ot the hole, she came up to MT. F., and placing her nose on his shoulder gave every sign of gratitude that human mother might under similar circum- stances. Who will say the horse does not reason

The Pi.Utes.

A correspondent of Western paper furnishes some statements in regard to the Pi-Ute Indians which modify our ideas of that tribe. The Pi-Utes and the Washoe Indians live in Nevada. The former are rapidly adopting white ways, and are becoming uninteresting The men saw wood, black boots, and do odd jobs. The women arc laundres- Pi-Utes are the Digger Indians, and they can fight, as many battle field shows. The women are drudges in the tribe. A gentle savage, who has any pretention to being leading man, has, as general thing, two or three wives, who roam about in the most abject and miserable condition. The children are left to get along as best they can, and may frequently be seen, in the most inclement winter weather, with little or no clothing upon their bodies. They are left to grow up or die, as chance may have 1t, and must look out for themselves. As a conse- quence of this, there is but little family affection, and not much respect is paid to the seniors by the younger members of the tribe.
 In early times, the Pi-Utes had a terrible war with the Washoes, and, after defeating them, carried off all their best-looking women and their horses. For years, the Washoes were kept in subjection, and it was only after the whites settled in the country that they were again enabled to own horses and arms, and keep their women for themselves. The Washoes seem to be an utterly heart broken race of beings, and it is difficult to conceive of any lower depth which human being can be reduced to than being the slave or vassal of Pi-Ute. They ruled over the Washoes with an iron rod. The latter had nothing they could call their own, and, when they had gathered 8 winters supply of grass seeds, roots, able task-masters, and carried off every thing. Lodges, women, baskets, horses, food of every kind and description, were appropriated by them, and the starving Washoes were turned out among the bleak hills, with no more subsist- ence than the wolves themselves.
 General Halleck says it is almost inn possible to tell the difference between party of Pi-Utes and party of Chinese, if they were talking, and in @ place where they could not be seen. The Pi-Utes are singularly free from the vice of intemperance. Their women are virtuous, and unchastity is punished with death The tribe is adopting civilization so rapidly that it is probable few years will see them blended with the whites. Possibly future statesmen blood, much in the same manner that Virginia politicians and Virginia gentle, men of our day boast of having the blood of Pocahontas in their veins.

WHAT DID HE LOSE ?-Tommy went to the cars with Uncle Jacob. On reach ing the station, Uncle Jacob got into the train to secure seats and Tommy was to buy the paper. Tommy paid 8 half dime of his at the newsstand and started for the cars, his paper and two cents in his hand. Uncle Jacob took the paper and gave him coin from his pocket, evidently supposing it to be five cent piece. It was cent, and Tommy look ed at it on his hand with the other two, making just the price of the paper, and was little puzzled, but yet pretty clear that he had not his due. On the whole he hesitated to arraign his uncle, and so put his coins in his pocket and said nothing. His uncle read his paper. Pretty soon it occurred to Tommy that as the matter now stood, his Uncle Jacob must think he had kept two cents of his without any sort of acknowledgment, and this would never do. So Tommy resolved to give his uncle two cents and say, here are two cents which did not give you when I got your paper" And this he did when Uncle Jacob looked up from his reading, and so closed the transaction, leaving his uncle in ignor- ance of his loss of pocket money. How many cents did he lose, boys?

WHY THE SUN's RAYS MAKE ROUND SpoTs.-When light comes through small hole into dark room it forms on the op- positc wall an image of the object from which it proceeds, no matter what the shape of the hole; as, now, the sun is round, the image formed by its light will be round also. If the sun were square or triangular, it's light, under the above cir cumstanceS, would form square or triangu- lar spots. As it is, the round spots are real images of the sun, of which fact you convince yourself by watching such images on day when floating clouds cover up the sun from time to time. Ycu will see the images of the luminous edges of the clouds around your round sun spots, and their dark masses covering the same; and when you use single hole these appearances are very striking. The shape of the hole is of no consequence, provided it be small and of diameter of one quarter of all inch or less.

A MONEY ORpEn7 DEc1s1oN.-An ir

A MONEY ORDER TDEc1sIoN.-An i'm portant question arising out of the United States money order system has recently been before the department of Justice. It grew out of controversy between the remitter and payee of a money order, the latter demanding pay ment of the same and the former for bidding it. The Attorney General de- cides that after the remitter of an order has delivered it to the payee, he cannot stop payment of it; but the latter is entitled to have the amount paid to hirl on proper demand. The decision is based upon the peculiar provisions of the act of Congress establishing the money order system, which differ, in this respect, from the English system,

THE PREss.-There is no editor of newspaper or magazine who is not con- stantly returning manuscripts full of use- ful and good material, which he cannot publish because it is not readable. The style is turgid or involved. or affected, or slovenly or diffuse. If the style happens to be good, the subject is uninteresting, or is treated for scholars, and numbered with redundant learning. Of course the editor would not hurt the pride of the writers, and in politeness he simply says that their productions are not available , They think the editor stupid, and he is content, so long as they do not accuse him of illnature. It is only when they charge him with the purpose of refusing all writing that is better than his own that he loses patience, and regrets that he had not been frank and definite in the state ment of his reasons for declining their oferings.-Soribner's.

BUTTERF1rEs.-Peop are not accus- toned to regard butterflies as nuis- ance, but Florence was,a short time ago, invaded by such quantity of them that they were called plague. In several of the streets the passage was almost obstructed by these insects, which swarmed in thick clouds around the gas lights in the evening. Fires were lighted by order of the municipality, and soon the bodies of the butterflies formed a thick layer upon the streets.

THE SEcRET.-" I notlced,' said Franklin, "a mechanic among number of others at work on house being erected but little way from my office, who always appeared to be in merry humor, who had kind word and cheer full smile for every one he met. Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy and sunless, happy smile dashed like sunbeam on his cheerful contenance. Meeting him one morning, I asked him to tell me the secret of his constant flow of spirits. ''No secret, doctor," he replied. ''I have got one of the best wives, and when I go to work she always has kind word of encouragement for me; and when go home she meets me with 8 smile and kiss; and then tea is sure to be ready, and she has done so many lit tie things through the day to please me, that cannot find it in my heart to speak an unkind word to anybody" What in- fuences then has woman over the heart of man, to soften it and make it the foundation of cheerful and pure emo tions.
