through his wise activity, he had con-
structed for himself a lasting dwelling.
Finally, the appointed day appeared.
The king was seized in his palace, de-
prived Of his diadem and kingly apparel,
and placed in the inevitable vessel which
was to guide him TO his place of exile
Scarcely had he landed upon the shore of
the new island, when the inhabitants hur-
ried with joy to meet him. They re-
ceived him with honor. Instead Of that
crown which humanity endured only for
a year, they adorned his head with an un-
fading wreath of flowers. The Almighty
rewarded his wisdom. He gave to him
the Immortality of his subjects and made
him their eternal king.
The rich and benevolent man is God (;
the slave whom his master sent away is
man at his birth; the Island, where he
landed is the world the inhabitants who
come joyfully to meet him, are the pa
rents, who take care of the naked and
weeping infant. The vizier, who warns
him of the sad fate which awaits him is
Wisdom. The year of his reign is the life
of the man, and the desert island, whittier
he is approaching, is the future world.
The kings, however, who have gone be-
fore him, without rejecting upon the un-
happiness which threatened them, are
those foolish men who occupy themselves
only with worldly joys, without thinking
of the life after death. They are pun.
ished with eternal misery, because they
appear before the throne of the Almighty
with their hands empty of all good works
You see, therefore, that man is judged
through his works and not through faith

The Birch Canoe.

A YOUNG gentleman of Concord recent.
ly received the present of a birch bark
canoe; and the following evening he
launched the frail craft, and invited few
friends to witness the trial trip. After
carefully parting his hair in the middle,
and dividing his small change equally
between his right and left vest pockets, in
order TO preserve an exact equilibrium,
he stepped on board. The vessel walked
the waters like thing of life" but the
young man, Just at that time, saw some
thing on the bottom of the river that he
wanted and went down after it with a
terrific splash, whereat his friends on the
bank, stupidity supposing he had acci-
dentally tipped over, INDUCED in un-
seemly mirth. The navigator, however,
swan ashore, and administering a cutting
rebuke To his friends, started again. The
next time he tried it, he acknowledged
that the frisky little boat did tip over, but
felt confident that there would be no
trouble after he had got the hang Of the
thing. Finally he made a fourth and last
attempt, the boat turned over as usual,
and he came up under it. His friends,
seeing that he did not put in an appear
ance, plunged in after him, snaked him
out, and then, under the impression that
he needed resuscitating, stood him on his
head, rolled him on barrel, burned tea-
theirs under his nose, pounded his back
lanced his arms with penknile, and
otherwise mal:reated him. AS soon as he
could get out of their clucthes he seized
an oar, - went for " the amateur doctors
with so much energy that they vacated
suddenly, and left him master OF the situ
alton. He is now anxious to tnd some
pretty toy manufactured of nitro -glycerinG
TO send TO his friend in return for the ca
noe. Boston GLOBE.

THE OLD OdNOE.


waEsE the rocks are gray and the shore Is steep,
And Tho waters below look dark and deep,
Wlfete tbd rugged pine In lie lonely pride
Leans gloomily over The mufky tide;
Who're the reeds and rushes are long and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
Where the shadow Ia heavy the whole day through,
There lies at Its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like n seabird's wings that the storm has Topped,
And crossed o9ihe railing, one Ger one,

While many blossom Of loyeliest hue

The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat at will,
And lady In and out again,

Counterfeit Coin.

Mr.. Ashley, of the Sub-Treasury, re-
Gently gave a reporter Of the New York
Times the following interesting informa-
ton respecting "filled" coins;
Referring to the practice of counterfeit
ing, MIR. Ashley remarked that there were
filled" coins of the denomination of $50,
and then added II suppose you don't
know what filed coin is?" On receiv-
ing an affirmative response to his query,
Mr.. Ashley took from small drawer a
double-eagle, which, TO all appearance,
was perfectly genuine. The minutest ex,
animation OF the surface and of the milled
edge failed to disclose any marks Of fraud
ulent manipulation; the weight was cor
rect to the decimal of grain, and when
struck on the counter the coin gave a
loud, clear ring, true as any which were
taken from a neighboring pile Of the gen.
uine article. Nothing seeAed wanting in
this skillful counterfeit; but it was a
counterfeit, nevertheless.
"This is filled COIN" continued Mr.
Ashley, as he balanced 1t on the tips OF
his fingers. "The weight is correct, 1t ap-
pears good, the acid test would fail on it,
and the sound is true. 1t is one Of the

Friends Must Part.

ABOUT II :45 Saturday night two mid
dle-aged men stopped in front of a house
on Essex street, and, after shaking hands
with an earnestness and solemnity that
were very affecting, one of them said :
Goodnight, Buggles," to which the other
responded, Goodnight, Punky." Then
both of them stared at each other with
wonderful intensity, and finally grasped
hands again. you feel quite well?" said
Punky, with some anxiety. "Never bet
ter" kindly volunteered Buggles, at the
same time turning around on one leg and
throwing up one arm to snap his fingers,
but changing his mind and hastily clasp
ing Punky around the neck instead. Then
he Strengthened himslf up, and, looking
solemnly at Punky, extended his hand,
which that individual hastily grasped
and wTung with fervor that was simply
surprising, while both of them stared at
each other in manner that exhibited an
extraordinary interest in the object. "YOu
are a firm friend of mine" said Punky,
with the tears gathering in his eyes. 80
you are of mine," asserted Buggles in a
broken voice. Then they shook hands
again. "Nobody never seemed to under
stand me as you do" said Punkv, trem-
bling with suppressed emotion. That's
just what I've always said of YOU" main
tanned Buggles, with as much emphasis
as his awakened feelings would permit
At this juncture the two were so thorough
ly absorbed in contemplating each others
features, as not to notice a night-capped
head peering out of an upper window,
and were just preparing to grasp hands
once more in increased fervor, when a
shrill voice screamed, "Come home drunk
again, will you?" and was Immediately
followed by bucket of water most unfor-
tunately aimed. The man called Punky
Immediately bolted over the fence, and
around to the BACK or Ine mousse, leaving
Mr. Buggles to look around for his hat,
which had been knocked off by the force
of the shower, and to dispose of himself
afterward as he might see proper.-Dan-

A Reminiscence Of Mr.. Greeley's School
Days.

AN Omaha lady, while teaching school
in Massachusetts in 1866, boarded with
Mr. Reuben Nichols, who in boyhood
was schoolmate of Horace Greeley.
Hearing many stories of his boyhood,
she, just for the fun of the thing, wrote
him letter about the little red knowl-
edge box in New Hampshire, where he
attended school. He wrote the follow
ing reply, which, says the Omaha Bee,
will doubtless interest our many readers
who respect the memory of one of the
greatest men of our country:
WASHINGTON, D. C., February 1s, 1856.
'MIss HEwEs: AS do not know you,
and am little interested in any but part
of your letter, you will allow me in my
terrible hurry-having two days work
that ought to be done to-day, while l
must leave at evening for a journey to
our Pittsburgh Convention-to speak
only of that
II very we'll remember the red school
house in which first began to learn (the
paint was worn off long since, and it was
very far from red when last saw it);
remember the Nichols children, who
lived Just below the school-house, in a
large house; but was very young then,
and do not make out clear mental
picture of Reuben Nichols. l think he
must have been considerably older than l.
But recollect one Aseneth Nichols, one
of two girls not much older than |, whom
| thought very pretty, so that while l was
very good speller, and so one of the
two at the head of the first class in SPELL
ing, who were entitled to choose sides
for a spelling match, 1 used to begin by
choosing these two pretty girls, who
couldn't spell hokee to save their souls,
Well, this was found not to answer;
knew enough to spell, but not to choose
sides; so the rule had to be altered, and
the two next to the one at the head had
the honor of choosing Sides Ask Mr..
Nichols if he has sister Aseneth, and if
h 2 remembers any such nonsense as this,
My kindest regards to him. Yours,
HORACE GREELEY.

THE Cincinnati Gazette says "The
writer of this saw man yesterday who
came to this city in 1910 with his father
from Pennsylvania in two.horse wagon.
They drove up Main street, and when
they got up little above where the new
postoffice is to be located, man came
along and asked him if he owned that
team. When told he did, he offered his
father seven acres of land in square
block coming up to Main street. The old
gentleman took look around, and said
he wouldn't sell his team for the whole
town. Drive on, boys The team at that
time was probably worth between seventy
five and one hundred dollars.

Spicer's Meanness.

ABOUT the meanest little thing that has
come under our notice for some time was
perpetrated the other day by Spicer, at the
drug store, upon two timid and reserved
gentlemen One of them our friend
p, is following the legitimate, and we
dare say lucrative, business of lightning
rods for the protection of his fellow men,
With almost Christian fortitude he had
argued the erection of these life-preserving
rods-the only safe and reliable ones in
use-upon the house of friend Spicer
How vividly did he picture the horrors
that are liable to present themselves to
Spicer or any other man whose house does
not wear rods-as he returns to his family
after hard thunder shower. Wife, child,
all passed into eternity in an instant, and
perchance house burned down, and the
heavy weight that would forever lay up
on his heart that he was the cause. For
the sake of few paltry dollars he had re-
fused the protection and caused the death
of a beloved wife and dear child. For
the ninth time he sat down for a few hours
talk with the hard-hearted Spicer upon
this subject, which at the time being was
nearest his heart. Just as he had got fair
ly engaged Spicer jumped up, ran TO the
door and calling in stranger, brought
him forward and said:
"Mr. P, allow me the pleasure of
acquainting you with Mr.. Il, agent
for the Chicago Life Insurance Company.
Mr.. Il, Mr.. P is a reliable
lightningrod man of our town."
Dear reader, pause for moment. Imag-
inc, if you can, the situation. An insur-
ance agent and lightning-rod man met
face to face in mortal combat What a
CLEAN of satisfaction flashed over the
countenance of Spicer, as he drew back
from the scene that would inevitably fol-
low, and as he was near the door he was
heard to say flight it out on that line,
boys, if it takes all summer l am sorry l
can't be with you, but matters at home de-
mand my immediate attention" Neither
agent has been heard from since.-Albert

Emigration 10 America.

The London Examiner announces in a
recent issue that the present year will see
an immense increase in the tide of emigra-
ton to America and our colonies. Emil
grafton has received Il great impetus from
the movement among the agricultural
laborers The Queensland Government is
showing an appreciation for field culture
which our English land. owners and
farmers will perhaps regret when
it is to late. Ten thousand laborers are
offered a free passage and other advan.
tages, and we feel sure that that number
will soon leave our shores, in addition to
those Canada and America have ID
superiority of attractions. Meanwhile in
Dorset and elsewhere; the most casual
observer can already see the effect Of in.
sufficient manual labor. There was not
one laborer too many in Dorset before the
movement commenced, and yet fully 1000
of its adults have now removed elsewhere
When is this exodus to stop? Not until
the English land question assumes its
proper degree Of Importance. Anxious
as we are to see that question come to the
front, we can scarcely regret this emigTa-
ton, for a surer way of forcing attention
to it was never reversed. Still the con-
dItion of Ireland, Notwithstanding its
diminished and diminishin g population
prevents us from being to sanguine about
the effect that emigration will have on
those left behind. Joseph Arch, accom-
panied by MIR. J. G. Cox, proposed to
visit Ireland at tue end of next week, and
their report of the condition and pros.
poets of the peasantry will be looked
forward to with considerable interest, 1t
is idle to pretend to hide the fact that Mr..
Gladstone's Irish Church and Irish Land
acts have failed to remove that dIsafectiOn
which is the natural sequel of English
policy, or the misery which cries aloud
against our centuries Of misrule. The
only policy which can in any way

MISGUIDED ECONOMY.
An Effort 30 Reduce "a Gas Bill, and
What Followed.

What Followed.
From the New Orleans Picayune
A lady down on Smith street, read
somewhere that economy was the sure
road to wealth, and hearing that the gas
bill was enormous, felt that the gas might
be economical by turning il off et the
meter every morning, so that il would not
waste through the brackets. This she
dld, intending to regulate it in the evening.
She went TO see her mother, however, and

hand he placed it to the bracket; pshaw

and it falling with crash. She
tried, and in vain, for besides spelling
her best silk, she trod on the child with

matter.
She would sooner heve stepped into her
coffin than to the meter, and she tride to
