A Notable Anniversary.

Two hundred years ago, the coming
18th ofJune, the Mississippi was discov-
cred, according to the historian, and it is
proposed to revive the half forgotten
memories of Marquette and Joliet by
celebrating the event at st. Louis and
other places on the line of the historic
river. On the 20th of June 1873, Mar
quette and Joliet, priests and merchants
attended by other Frenchmen and two
Indians, left Green Bay for the south
west. They assembled the Fox river in
canoes to the dividing ridge between. it
and the Wisconsin. Carrying their
light canoes on their shoulders across
s.divide, ''they launched them upon the
Wisconsin. All but Marquette and Jo-
liet returned to Green Bay. The hero
ic priest and merchant descended to the
newly discovery river, and on the 10th
of June, 1873, they glided out of the
Wisconsin upon the bosom of the upper
Mississippi s'with a joy" Thence they
pursued the explorations to the mouth
of the Arkansas river, arriving at their
settlement at Green Bay the 1st of Sep
tember. And now, says the St. Louis
Republican, after lapse of two hundred
years after the wilderness they found
has been converted into fields and gar
dens and field after the wigwam villa
ges have been swept and the shadows of
mighty cities fall upon the water of
the stream found flowing through track
less wilds, it is proposed to erect some
suitable memorial which shall preserve
their fame until the latest times.

Once, twice, thrice, and the stick was split;

And now" quoth he, by this you see Just

All the way through you'll find hard knots,

And should you only hack at them, you'fi

But If yon strike them manlnlly, you surely

whole story. Iexpected it would make
him angry; but 1t didn't, for he laugh
ed heartily, and said 1 was a clever ras-
cal, and he was proud of me.

me a sufficient income to enable me to
quit my irksome duties as a clerk.

INIT A TIGHT SQUEEZE.
A Story for congressmen Who
Give Away Stolen Money.

Il From the ST. Louis Christian Advocated
Most or all of our readers are aware
that just before the adjournment of the
last Congress, bill was passed increas-
ing the pay of the members, and also
with sort of retrospective character
which gave to each member handsome
sum by way of "backpay."
The papers generally have criticised
this proceeding very severely. Some of
the members refused at first to receive
it, and others that did receive it have
since distributed it to benevolent pur-
poses. Very little of such distribution
however was made until after much had
been said by the papers against the ac-
ton of Congress in making the appro-
priation. These benefations, under the
circumstances, remind us of certain
action ON the part of one Snyder, who
lived little east of place called Mount
Airy, then in Wythe county, Virginia.
Snyder was quiet, good sort of man
but subject to fits of arrangement or in
sanity during which he usually imagin-
ed himself to be the ruler of the universe
and. would often proceed to hold the
the day of iudgment.an pass sentence
upon his neighbors according to his
own likes and dislikes. He was the Ow-
ner of little country mill for Efining
fxxrA f,f 1 II 4,
Jake Fulwilder, had in partnership a
also. Between these and Snyder there
never was too mnch good feeling, thus
verifying the old adage, ,''Two of trade
can never agree" One day, when Sny-
der was little more crazy than usual
and particularly mad at the Fulwilders,
he perched himself upon some elevation
and proceeded, as he said, to hold the
day ofjudgement. He first tried the
Fulwilders, and convicted them of tax
ing too much toll by their own confess
sions, and consigned them to the left |
hand Emit de goats" "Now said he 81
tries myself. Jake Snyder, stand upl
Jake Snyder, what you has been about
in this lower world" "Ah, does not
know" Veil, Jake, did you not have
a mill? ?'' "Yes had MILL" 'sVen,
Jake Snyder, did you not take too much
toll?" eyes, ven de water vas low and
de mill-stones dull, did take leetle
too much toll but den l always did give
it to de poor" Then after considering
awhile, he added, Jake Snyder,you may
go de right NIT de sheep, but it is nit a
tight squeezed"
The reader may make his own appli-
cation. If these men can get clear of
the odium attached to the manner in
which the money was received, by Civ
ing that money to the poor, it will be
"mit tight squeeze"

out some twinges of conscience for al

out some twinges of conscience for al
lowing the mistake to pass and taking
advantage of it.
"My first duty next morning was to
seek some knight of the razor. had
noticed pleasant1ittle shop at no great
distance from the hotel, in my walk the
previous day. Thinking that I should
do no better looking farther, repaired
to that. There was in attendance boy
about twelve years of age, who stated
that his father, the proprietor, had gone
to neighboring city, and would not
return before noon. Without any hes
itation asked for the loan of a razor,
and proceeded to operate on myself.
While thus occupied, the customers be-
gan to present themselves, expressing
great dissatisfaction on learning how
matters stood. Now, although / am
proud man, 1 am not, thank God, eurs-
ed with that species of vanity which
prevents a man from doing certain
kinds of honest labor simply because
they are not genteel. Here an opportu-
nifty offered to at least earn the price
of my breakfast. I took advantage of
it; told the first man that came In, after
1 had completed shaving myself. 1
would shave him, did so. In fact,
did quite brisk business for couple
of hours, and if any of the unfortunate
individuals who came under my hand
had any doubt of my fitness for the
business, they certainly expressed
none. At the expiration of that time
thought had done sufficient, and feel
ing rather hungry, having had no
breakfast, 1 divided the proceeds with
the boy, and prepared to return to my
hotel. But 1 was not done yet As
was brushing my hat, a young dandified
specimen of humanity came in. Re
solved that he should be the last, 1 went
to work on him. When he came to pay
me was, to say the least, somewhat
surprised to see him deliberately pro-
duce my own pocket-book-the one
had lost. Standing on no ceremony, 1
snatched it from his hSnd, and demand
ed in no gentle tone how it came into
his possession.
"Without stopping to reply other
than by a volley of imprecations, as he
reached the door, he tumbled rather
than ran down the stairs into the
street, Waiting for neither hat nor
coat, followed, the pocket-book in my
hand. We measured considerable
ground in short space OF time. On,
on. 1t was a very exciting chase.
Men, boys and dogs joined in the pur-
suit; the cries of stop thief grew loud
er, and increasing. What an uproar
there wasl Suddenly there came flash
of light, sharp and vivid for an instant,
then utter darkness.
A policeman, mistaking me for
thief, had gently tapped me on the
head, as in their usual custom, and with
The usual result, and the thief escaped,
md /, the victim, was apprehended. My
appearance told heavily against me;
but my story being fully eorroberated
by the boy at the barber shop, l was
released.
"Upon examining the wallet l found
ny money intact, and about $3.50 be-
iides. This is all the story.

Well, perhaps not. No, it was

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pnre, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in yonth;
The impulse Of q worldless prayer,
The dream of love and truth;
The longings after something lost;
The spirits yearning cry;
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
The kindly word in griefs dark hour;
That proves the friend indeed;
The peal for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrows of a contrite heart
These things shall never die
The memory of a clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
The kindly word in grief7s dark hour,
That make up loves first bliss;
If drm unchanging faith
A holy trust on high,
These hands have clasped these lips have me
These things shall never.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must lind its work to do;
Lose not q chance to waken love
Be firm and just and true:
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high;
For angels voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.

The Statistics Man on Pie.

The statistics man has been at work
again, and this time he has occupied
himself with New England's favorite of
food, pie. 1t seems we are gradually
and surely deteriorating our race by an
indulgence in pie; that We are becom-
ing helpless victims to the Turing squash
and the insinuating pumpkin; the aro-
matte and mysterious mince and the
ludrid cranberry. Openworked tarts
and latticed currant are creeping insi-
diously into our constitutions and un-
dermining them. philanthropy does
not soon begin its charitable work, we
shall all fall before the deadly wiles of
crust. This is terrible, indeed, and pie
makers take upon themselves fearful
responsibility in tempting us with their
dangerous dellcaeies. 1t seems we
are n race of pastataphagists. 1t is
dreadful to reflect upon. Another fas-
cinating but deadly stimulant is now
added to alcohol and tobacco. Pie Is
contriband. Who would have thought
it. Farewell, dyspepsia farewell, bili-
business; farewell, headaches and well
come health and prosperity. The de-
mon that is degenerating us has been
discovered at last, and his name is Pie

I went to my work, and labored with
all the eheerfulness of an inventor who

remarkable time. Assuming my blan-
