"Oh, no." retorted Otis, that will never

all day and night in a muddy road, was by
no means either pleasant or compatible
with the dignity of his office.

so saying, the old lawyer drew his cloak
around him, and made preparations for
quiet snooze till Monday morning, if the
tiding-man maintained his watch until that
far distant day. The poor fellow looked
as blue as indigo, and really felt quite as
uncomfortable as a young gosling in o

the composed expression of the sheltered
and complacent lawyer, and without say

for utterance-he relinquished his prey, and
went home to mediate on the mysteries
OF the law and the palmer preccepts of the

permit the officer to get fairly around the

HOW \ CELEBRATED LAWYER GOT THE BET

The story of Harrison Gray Otis and the
tiding-man is thus related;
Otis was travelling in tue State OF
Connecticut. 1t was before railroad cars
had commenced to break mems bones on
Sundays. He had an important cause to
argue in Boston on Monday, and having
been detained in New York until Saturday
he left that city in his gig, rode on till late
Saturday night, when he put up at New
England village inn, and resumed his jour
ney Sunday morning. He had rode but u
few steps from the tavern before grave

proceed with him to the jail Mr.. Otis re-
piled:
"Sir, respect the day and the law; but
| shall have to break your head as well as
the Sabbath, ifyou do not let nc quietly 60
on my way"
But the officer was not to be blulfed off
in this manner. He said he knew his duty
and should do it. Mr.. Otis then drew out
from his portmanteau volume which the
official recognized as the statutes of the
State, and remarked, very blandly
"Well, my friend, 1t won't do any hurt
to look at the law II little"
"Oh, no." said the tiding-man. "You
will find it all there"
Mr.. Otis read aloud "If any person
shall be guilty of misunderstanding as
aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the tiding-
man to arrest him; and then he added,
1.-THE law is against me, | must submit"
"Well, them" rejoined the tiding-man,

High up on the wall, is an angels head
And beneath It is carven lily flower,
With delicate wings at the side outsprcad.
They say that the sculptor wrought from the

OF his youths lost love, of his promised bride,
And when he added the last sad grace
OF the features lie dropped his chisel and
died
And the worshippers throng to the shrine be-

And the sight seers come with their curious

But deep in the shadow where none may know
Its beauty, the gem of its carving lies.
Yet at early morn or mdsummcr's day,
When the sun is far to the north, for the space

Through an amber pane on the angels face.

ADvERTIsING.-Th object in advertis
ing is to increase business. An advertise
ment properly inserted in newspaper is
more etfectual than any other method, be-
cause it is read when reader is in mo0d
for it. No one will take the time to read
an advertisement unless he has passive
inclination TO do SO. The great advantage
ola newspaper advertisement is shown in
this manner. In printed advertising, all
transient methods, as circulars or the like,
are thrust upon us unsought, scarcely glanc-
ed at-tlung into the waste-basket, and
wholly forgotten. At some subsequent
time we are in need of the very article the
circular represented, but we cannot recall
the merits, terms or address Naturally we
seek the newspaper and then is the speci-
tic time the advertisement that regularly
appears in the newspaper WINS Union

a Terrible Game of Cards.

\ game of cards in which Z human
life was at stake was played on the
9th of September at the Ritter hotel,
Heidelburg. by four young students,
one of whom, Silfred Meyer, was an
American, from Chicago. Itappears
that the four men had formerly been
intimate friends, and they met, it
seems, on the above day at the Swan
tavern, whern they drank a good deal
and finally began to quarrel One of
them, Count Ottendorf, called Meyer
a cowardly Jew, whereupon the latter
promptly challenged him Ottendorf
accepted the challenge Immediately.
Meyer, in tone of great excitement,
proposed that ali four should repair to
the Ritter hotel, and there play
game of "sixty-six." The loser should
shoot himself with a pistol. This
proposal was accepted, and the four
students repaired to the hotel. They
ordered wine and cards to be brought
up to a private room, and Ludeken,
one of the four, procured two loaded
pistols from neighboring armorer.
The fourth student dealt the cards,
and Ottendorf and Meyer seated
themselves, pistol lying by the side
of each. The first few minutes the
gain remained almost even. But
then Meyer obtained a single advant-
age, and Ottendorf, seeing that be
was lost, suddenly jumped up and ex-
claiming, "Adieu, my friends seized
his pistol, and shot himself through
the right temple. He fell corpse to
the floor, while his companions stood
as if petrified for moment, and then
hurried from the room. When the
of the hotel FASTENED into
the room he found the dead count w.

and the police started in pursuit ofthe
fugitive students. Late liz the after
noon they succeeded in arresting I'M

A Woman's Write.

Some editor who has been victom-
lied writes as follows; Eve shall
never engage another woman to re-
port gentlemen's fashions for this pa
per. We might have known she would
ignominiously fail; but she said gen
tlemen reported ladies' fashions, and
she couldn't see why woman shouln't
write up the masculine modes. We
couldn't see either, so We gave her a
cdrts-blanche to go ahead. And such
fashion article Here is a specimen
of the ridiculous stuff: A recherche
spring overcoat for promenade has
pretty ribbed stripes, with three ruff
iles on the tails, festooned with
tassels, single breasted collar, aud
rolling flaps on the pannier. A love-
ly dress coat has three buttons and
pockets in the rear, box-pleated on the
hips, three ply guipure lace on the
narrative, gored in bunch and cut
bouffant. Vests button up the front,
same as last year and have pockets,
with imperial polonaise up the back.
and oxidized buttons in double rows
on the collar, with tab fronts. The
shirt is cut tight at the knee, and
open in front or behind, as may be
preferred, with percale bosom. trim
med passementerie: four rows of Ma
genta braid around the skirt, with
hood at back, bound with galloon to
match. Much depends on the panta-'
looms. A gentleman's dress is very
incomplete without trousers. These
are OF some subdued color, as Lon
don smoke, and should have monise
with the-the-the neck fchu. They
are cut bias in both legs, with deep
frills to fall over the instep; the waist
is garnished with broad band of
batiste, with ecrue facings, anG but
tons to match; the. But that is
enough. ANY one but a Sandwich
Islander will see at glance that
these fashions are frightfullv mixed.
Who ever heard of trousers being cut
bias in the legs, deep frills falling
over the instep, with a broad band

falcons built in that way, we would
go without, and encase our limbs in
two sections of stope pipe"

The Atmosphere.

1t surrounds us on all sides, yet we
see it not; it presses on us with a
load of fifteen pounds to every square
inch of surface of our bodies, or from
seventy to one hundred tons on US in
all, vet we do not as much as feel its
weight Softer than the softest down
more impalpable than the finest gos-
samer-it leaves the cobwe5 undis-
turbed, and scarcely stirs the light
est flower that feeds on the dew it
supplies; yet it bears the fleets Of ma
tions ON its wings around the world,
and crushes the most refractory SUBJ
stances beneath its weight. When in
motion its force is sufficient to level
the most stately forests to the earth
to raise the waters of the ocean into
ridges like mountains, and dash the
strongest ships to pieces like toys
But for the atmosphere, sunshine
would burst on us and fail us at once,
and at once remove us from midnight
darkness to the blaze of noon. We
should have no twilight to soften and
beautify the landscapes, no clouds to
shade us from the scorching heat, but
the bald earth as it turned on its axis,
would turn its tanned and weakened
front to the full and unmitigated rays
of the lord of dav.

Influence Of the Dam.

Touching this subject, / would
say, to start with, that the influence
Of the dam is much more considerable
in the majority of cases, in shaping
the character of the future colt, than
many imagine To me it seems nat
ural that it should be so. Without
reiterating what / have already said
in a previous section Of this work,
| would ask the reader to observe
how intimately the foal is connected
with the dam, not only previous to its
birth, but for a long period after
ward. From the very beginning of
its life it is fed by the mothers food,
and affected by her moods. Before
ever it has seen light, she has had
the time and the power to stamp it
with her vices and her virtues, i'm
part to it her weakness and her
her strength. Not only the bone
structure, the muscular tissues, the
arterial and yenous system, and the
measures of bodily growth, are de-
cided by the mothers constitutional
powers and condition, but the very
nerve-Structure and brain force re-
ceive from her tone and quality.
The foal may be pictured as lying at
her mercy, dominated by the sweet
tyranny of nature When thinking
of these things, / cease to wonder
that many of the most famous horses,
both of the past and present time,
closely resemble their danes Dex-
ter takes his look from his mother,
the daughter of American Star, who
was sired by the thoroughbred run
ning-horse, Henry Neither in body,
limbs, head, nor temperament, does
be bear any likeness to his sire, Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian. The same
may be said of Goldsmith's Maid,
Lady Thorne, Major Winfield, and
others of almost equal celebrity
They are all mothers children, as
we should say in respect to members
of the human family. Every breed
er has observed this popularity. l
have a flly in my stable, sired by
horse of high breeding and great vi

does not bear the least resemblance

size shape style of going, expression

which she eats her oats, or
neighs before they are given her-in
all these things she is the dam over

Sheep-WashiDs.

Some years ago the good people of
the town Of l., Mass, assembled
for the purpose Of forming temper
ance society. After the usual pre-
iiminaries, the pledge was submitted
to the audience for signature At
that Deacon Smith arose and address,
ed them thus:
"My friends, ! should have no OBJ
jections to signing your pledge but
for one thing | have been accus-
toned to have my plum pudding at
Christmas. Now, you all know that
plum pudding is good for nothing
without good sauce; and sauce is in
sipid without little good brandy in
it. Now, if you can fix your pledge
so that | can have my brandy sauce
and plum pudding at Christmas, |
will sign it with great pleasure"
After little arguing pro and con,
a clause was added, allowing Deacon
s. his brandy sauce at Christmas, but
at no other time, and Deacon S. sign
ed the pledge
Soon after farmer Jones arose and
said:
"My friends-I have no objections
to signing your pledge if you allow
me one thing. | always want liquor
in the harvest field to counteract the
effects ofso much cold water as is Us
ually drank at that time. If you can
fix it so that can have my liquor in
the harvest field l will sign your
pledge"
Again after considerable arguing,
there was clause added allowing
farmer Jones his liqnor in the harvest
field, but at no other time
After farmer Jones had taken his
seat, his neighbOr, farmer Bent arose.
MY friends" said he, 81 will sign
your pledge, if you will add one thing
to it, that is, fix it so / can haze my
liquor at sheep washing. | think it
very necessary for men to have some
good strong liquor to drink when
coming out Of the water after wash
ing sheep TO prevent the bad effects
that arise from standing in it so
long"
After good deal of talk, a clause
was added allowing farmer Bent his
liquor at sheep washing, but at no
other time. When all had signed the
pledge, the meeting was adjourned
for one week.
The next morning one of farmer
BIS neighbors was passing his house,
and the old gentleman stepped out
just then gloriously drunk
why, Uncle John, how's this ?"
said the neig- Dor, good deal sur
prised, 81 thought you signed the
pledge last night"
$50 / did" replied Uncle John,
"but (hic) l was washing sheep"
He led the way to the barn, the
neighbor following. On arriving
there he saw standing in the middle
of the barn floor big wash-tub about
half full of water, and the old ram
tied to it, wet as he could be and shiv-
ering with cold. Close by stood
two gallon jug. Uncle John pointing
to the ram with an air of triumph,
SAID:
