The Prize Package Boys Dream.

One Of the most alarming cases of SOM
nambulism with which we are familiar is
that of the prize package boy who oper-
ates on the Norristown Railway in this
city. By some extraordinary combina-
ton of circumstances, this child of sin
was induced to go to church few Sun
days ago, and while listening to the ser
mon he fell asleep in the back pew where
he sat- There had been Sunday school
meeting there before church, and all the
Bibles and missionary newspapers were
piled up in that particular pew. Sudden
ly this remorseless young orphan picked
up a bundle of the papers in his sleep
and began to walk up the aisle, throwing
one into each pew as he went along
When he got under the lee of the pulpit
he stopped and waited two or three min
utes. The minister looked cross-eyed at
him and glared at him through his spec
tacles but the young brigand was I'M
conscious. Then he glided down the
aisle, and amazed the congregation by
removing the papers from each pew
When he reached the rear he seized an
armful of Bibles and rambled up the aisle
again, tossing them at the. occupants of
the pews. Nm
Resting again under the pulpit, and
wholly Indifferent to the circumstance
that the clergyman's eyes again were out
Of their natural straight position, and
were making his spectacles look like a
double barreled locomotive headlight,
the infant brigand pranced down the aisle
the second time yelling, Here's your
prize packages, only ten cents; each one
contains prize worth from ten cents to
STOP and grabbing for the Bibles as he
proceeded. The minister waved his hand
at one of the deacons; the deacon ard the
sexton charged on that boy, and the
organist tells us the three scudded down
that thoroughfare at the rate offfteen
knots an hour, while the sexton shook
the boy up, and the deacon boxed his
ears, and wished it was not wicked to
swear. Then they took him up into the
steeple and killed him. We are not GER
tain that they killed him, but we think
they did of course, for that is the only
way in which he could be kept quiet.
We would have butchered him long ago
if we could only have gotten him alone
in steeple somewhere.-Mar Adzer.

fastened the other end of the wire to the
walking beam of the engine, and waited
for the jerk that would remove the tooth.
That end of the beam, however, was on
the down stroke, and the first thing Mr..
Baumgardner knew he was proceeding
toward the boiler-room with frightful
rapidity. The next instant he was hauled
aloft suddenly and flung feet upward into
the air. Then he dived down, humping
against the woodwork, rasping his legs
on the rails scalping himself against the
machinery, and plunging about in the
most appalling manner, until on final
up stroke the tooth gave way and Baum
gardner was flung to the summit of the
smoke stack, whence he was rescued by
the captain, who was going to thrash him
for stopping off the draft. He is said to
have remarked to the landlord upon his
arrival at Cape May that while the low
pressure steam engine is undoubtedly a
useful invention, its: application in the
practice of the science Of dentistry would
be calculated to prejudice the public
mind against it.

Tooth Pulling.

His name was Baumgardner. He was
going down to Cape May on the steam
boat, and On the way his tooth began to
ache in the most frightful manner. I'm
able to endure the pain any longer, he
determined to have the tooth removed
summarily. So Baumgardner got bit
OF copper wire from the engineer and
twisted one end around his TOOTH and
when the boat stopped at New Castle he

THE BEST.

BY LOUISA BUSHNELL
Why ask for joys tumultuous thrill.
mat suffers no increase7
Better the motions sure and still
Of ever deepening peace.
Better to dwell with lowly things,
And with their growth to grow;
10 feel within those secret springs
That gather cool and slow.
Born of such stiffness, wells the brook,
In leafy closet dim;
Till the full silence of the nook
8 O'erflows into hymn.
& The little singer trips along,
In musical content:
But ever gains fuller song,
And learns its own intent.
Gladly it spends its tuneful grace
In hidden minstrelsy;
Nor asks, as yet, wider space,
But just to sing and be.
In simple silence thrives its heart;
1t waters fiowrets shy,
1t feels the spotted fishes darts,
1t mirrors bits of sky;
Till slipping down by hillside farms,
Its ministries enlarge;
And in the meadows circling arms,
1t wins broader marge.
White lilies anchor on its breast,
A boat glides softly through,
And ever deeper grows its rest
The more it has to do.
For in it's tasks it knows no haste,
Nor lets the music cease
Too free to keep, too calm to waste,
The largess of its peace;
But bears it on TO outstretched lands,
Where thirsty cities wait;
= And then, at length, it understands
The fulness of its fate.
Proud ships upon its bosom ride,
1t throbs with busy oars;
1t grows more nObly satisfied,
Between its widening shores;
q It gathers strength and majesty,
Yet flows with rhythmic ease;
I And the great gladness of the sea
s. Completes its garnered peace.
O, better far to feel the flow
Of inward peace like this,
Than some brief ecstacy to know,
Some swift, unfruitful Bliss
Better? dear Peace, thou art the best!
For where thou hast thy home,
Full grows the silence, deep the rest,
And Joy herself shall comet

A totally inaccurate statement was made in
our Fourth Edition of Saturday, conveying the
impression that all the New York banks we're
snspending. 1t was based upon the news con-
tained in two private kilograms received here
by leading business men, and, as onr readers
generally know before this. was entirely untrue.
On the contrary. the condition Of things, every
where, was greatly improved, on Saturday, and
except in New York, the excitement had subeid-
Cd in all quarters.
Up to this time, no one OF the National ranks
hls suspended, anywhere, with the single ex-
clption Of the Let National of Washington,
which gave way at the same time with the sever
a. branches of Jay Cooke 4 Co. There were on
Saturday, no further suspensions in Philadelphia
except the Union Banking Company State in
stitution, and the feeling in that city, at the
close of the day. was one of comparative cheer
fulness
Throughout the South and West, there seems
to have been no excitement, much less pan
ic, and after ALL the fact is apparent that be-
yond the original troubles with Jay Cooke Il Co..
caused by their inability to sustain the immense
weight of the Northern Pacific, the whole disturb
Ance has been stock-brokers' storm. The fall
in stocks was impelled by the general demoral-
ization of those who held them-for speculation
and not for inyestment-and there has been no
good reason, independent of this, for the gen.
eral disturbance. As it has been stated, ,sIready,
the business operations Of the country are in &
sound condition, and they have had no share in
causing the trouble. On the contrary, unless
the wild and foolish demonstrations continue in
New York, we believe business will resume it's
usual channels, without further agitation, and if
things are not quieted in that city, there is no
good reason for other parts OF the country to
initiate its folly
