MODEL LovER.-The model lover of the
period lives in Danbury, Connecticut The
parents of his sweetheart arc opposed to the
match, but it doscn't make him proud.
Sometimes the old gentleman reaches him
with his boot before he can get over the
fence, but the young man doesn't lay up i'll
feelings on account Of that; he only smiles
at the dcspoilcr of his pantaloons when he
meets him, and calls it "heaping Goals of
fire on his head" The other evening he
thought he would get up surprise for the
old chap. He put a paving stone in each
of his coat,tail pockets, and started for the
fence as usual. The old gentleman let out
for him with increased enthusiasm, and
caught him-caught him good: Then he
lay down on the grass and said, 81 die by
the hand of an Assassin" But the young
man passed on without word, and smiled
the most heavenly smile Of forgiveness ever
seen on that street.

Remarkable Adventure.

Our citizens will remember how the
showers came night before last, in ircqcunt
succession, pouring, torrents while they
lasted, but stopping after a pour. Well,
there were, at o'clock on that evening,
seven men at the point i'll Sycamore and
Abigail streets to which is completed The
great sewer which is really an uptown OK
tension of the big Egglcston Avenue sewer
Their business is to clean the open end OF
that sewer, so as to prevent delay to work
men engaged in constructing it up Syca-
more street. 1t had occurred to them that
by stirring the sediment at. the bottom Of
the sewer the water from the showers
would wash it away, and their work would
in this way be greatly expedited. After a
long cessation in the rain, they went into
tho sewer some distance and continued
their work. While So engaged, one Of those
heavy, sudden showers which characterize
ed the evening came up, and poured down
its tremendous streams. The first warning
they had of their peril was sudden rush of
waters upon them, carrying the whole party
off their feet. The four men nearest the
mouth Of the sewer escaped with difficulty,
battling up stream against powerful
current; the other three were carried down
towards the river by the gallopins tide OF
defled waters. Two Of them caught at
manifold near the canal, and succeeded in
making themselves heard by thecr four
fortunate companions who had escaped.
They were drawn up to the solid ground by
these. But John Clark, one of thoir compa-
Mons, was not so fortunate. He continued
to travel down to Court street, where he
made short turn and thence proceeded be-
fore the flood, every moment increasing
the waters to the avenue sewer, where he
made turn to the right, whence it was a
straight road to the river. Mr.. Clark tells
the story himself He says he proceeded
down in the darkness, his back to the press
of waters and his face to their current. As
he could not stand up, he put himself as
nearly as possible in sitting position, and
went down the stream very much as a boy
slides down hill on a sled, only Mr.. Clark
had no sled. Coming to the mouth of the
sewer, where its waters discharge into the
Ohio River, he cried for help. Mr.. Lewis,
who lives in tenement wharf:boat ut that
point, and who hires row. boats to parties,
heard his cries, came to his relief, and
saved him. Mr.. Clark, last night, cx-
hibited badly torn pair ofpants, and a
pretty roughly bruised body.

Gold.


Cole lur;:s in every aim of life;
It sways the lofty and the lowly.
And shrouds beneath its sable pail
Each aspiration high and holy.
For it we utter earnest prayers,
And solemn vows are made apd broken,
And beauty barters truth and hope,
And bitter scathing words are spoken.
Gold cannot add one hour oflife,
Or. buy loves holiest caresses;
It cannot stay the silver streak
Time blends with beauty's tresses;
It cannot bring the lov'd one back,
So rudely torn from our embrace;
It cannot smooth the wrinkled brow
Scor' d deep with grief's relentless traces.
Gold cannot bring youths ruddy glow
Back to the cheek of fading beauty;
It cannot hush the still, Small voice
That hints of long neglected duty;
It cannot heal the broken heart,
Throbbing with some unboundsd sor-
row;
For words that wiring the soul to day,
Gold cannot bring relief tomorrow.
Then let uB spurn the glittering bribe,
Nor breathe for it one sigh OF sorrow;
Gold can at last but gild the bier,
Or buy the pail that want must borrow !;
The lowest heart In all the land
:. Is rich beyond all golden treasure,
If truth and virtue, hand in hand,
Have been through life its rule ano
measure.

he will not kick at it and run away.
He is also easily taught topuil by the

all you have to do. is to hitch him
with something he can easily break,
and he will soon learn to pull back
with such force that no bride will
hold him. If you want him to pull
well by the traces, give him a light
load until he learns to move it, and
he will soon pull his best at heavy

they pull forward, when hitched by

pull at either the halter or traces,
and it is equally as easy to teach him
to pull by the same means. If those
who drive horses would keep thisfact

of the shameful act of beating their
