An almost unparalleled circum-
stance was noticed at Muirhall, near
West Calder, during the great heat
that prevailed in the summer. An
Iceland pony, the property OF Mr..
John Waddell, contractor, was for
a time, left to its own free will,
during the temporary absence Of
its driver. The pony, which had
been driven for a considerable dis
tsnce, and was seemingly actuated
by a craving for water, was observ-
ed by the proprietor Of Muirhall,
and others who CHANGED to be in
the vicinity, to deliberately walk a
distance Of full so yards, and with
its teeth turn the cock of a water
pipe projecting out Of the road en-
bankment, supply itself with a
draught of the refreshing beverage,
readjust the cock, and return to
the position III which it was left.
This case is not only paralleled, but
surpassed by one that occurred at
Leeds, in 1894. A gentleman's
horse was regularly turned into a
field where there was a pump, the
water of which never failed. The
horse observed how the pump
worked, and at last took to pump
ing for himself, thus saving the
groom the trouble of providing
him with water. His mode Of pro-
cedure was to take the handle of
the pump between his teeth and
pump away until the trough was
full.

iroKRs AND HIS RELATIONS.

STOKES AND HIS RELATIONS
In consequence of Stokes infatua-
ton with Josie Mansfield, his wife
procured a divorce. The same
steamer that carried that document
to her in Europe, carried also the
news OF the murder of Fisk. On
account of the same, Mrs. Sutton, a
sister Of Stokes, has been discarded
by her husband for adhering 50
strongly to the fortunes Of her
hapless brother. The senior Stokes
has been rendered bankrupt there
BY, and one brother, q young man
Of great promise, died Of grief and
shame, while the remaining men,
bers Of the family are in the great
est distress. Stokes, the murderer,
was not many years ago hand
some and atFectionate boy, and the
pride Of his parents. All this ruin
was wrought by one bold, bad,
handsome woman, who cares not Q
fig whether Stokes is hung or not.
HIS fate should bc q warning to
others.

Two Pictures.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side
A bright-eyed boy who looks from out
The door with wo0dbine wreathed about,
And wishes, his one thought all day:
'i0h If could but flyaway
From this dull spot the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should beln
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long:
t'Oh! could only tread once more
The field-path to the farmhouse door,
The old, green meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should be.

10 Young Meza.

The young man who has an am
bition to make a great noise in the
world should learn boiler making.
He can make more noise at that
trade than anything else he can
engage in.
If he believes a man should
"strike for wages he should learn
blacksmithing especially it he is
good at "blowing."
If he would embrace a profession
in which he can rise rapidly be
should become an aronaut. He
couldn't find anything better ''for
high"
He certainly could do a staving
(and perhaps a starving) business
at the cooper trade.
If he believes in measures, not
men, he will. embark in the tailor
ing business.
If the one great object Of his life
is to make money he should get a
position in the United States Mint.
II he isa punctual sort Of achap,
and anxious to be con time" be
should put his hands to watChmak-
ing.
If be believes in the chief end Of
man to have his business largely
"felt," why, Of course he will be-
come a halter.
If he wants to ''get at the root
Of a thing" he will become a den

should become a physician, and
then he will have none Of his bad
work thrown upon his hands. II is
generally buried out Of sight, you
know.
Should he incline to high living,
but prefer plain board, then the
carpenter trade will suit him. He
can plane board enough at that.
If he is needy and well-bred he
will be right at home as a baker.
He shouldn't become a cigar
maker. If he does all his work
will end in smoke.
The young man who enjoys
plenty of company, and is ever
ready to scrspe acquaintance, will
find the barber business a congenial
pursuit.
The quickest way for him to

A very "grsve" young man
might flourish as an undertaken.
Don't learn chairmaking, for, no
matter how well you please your
customers, they will sooner or later
get down on your work.
And don't become an umbrella
maker, for their business is "used
up"
If he would have his work touch
the heads Of the nation, we know
of no way he could sooner accom-
plish such an object than by making
combs.
The young man who would have
the fruits Of his labor brought be-
fore the eyes Of the people will be-
come an optician. The work, be-
ing easily seen through, cannot BE-

THE POTENCY OF GEMS.

"Strong reasons, indeed! Out

that thereby hangs a tale. A story
about the talismanic power Of pre-
cious stones ! That will be worth

The conversation took place in
my back parlor, in October, 1870.
l had been married just two
years, and my wife was up stairs,
having a frolic with the baby-a
boy, six months old, and ahead OF
anything in the shape OF baby
yet known in the world.
My companion was Bob Green
leaf, the jolliest, LATEST, and big
gest-hearted fellow | ever saw. He
had been my chum in college, and
after my marriage he made our
house his home whenever he pleased,
my wife not considering it necessary
to cut off all her husbands pre-
vious blessings because she had be-
slowed herself upon him.
Bob added a good deal to our
happiness in bis good-natured way.
He was always ready to hear Carrie
rave about me, and to hear us both
rave about the boy land every point
worth having is gained in q friend
when you have found one who will
let you ride your pet hobby in his
presence, and sympathize till you
dislnount OF your own accord.
Bob's laziness helped in this, and
| sometimes suspected, with secret
indignation, that he carried on GER
tain day-dreams of his own, while
we supposed him wholly absorbed
in our enthusiasm. However, he
had listened to me 50 often when /
had talked for my own pleasure,
that | thought it only fair to give
him the history he wanted, and the
more as it was the story OF my first
meeting with, and my love for, the
dear little woman up stairs with the
baby.

aids, very valuable, and of very
curious workmanship"
"Why, that's the ring Carrie
wears on state OCCASIONS" inter-
rupted Bob.
"Exactly, old fellow. Three
years ago last August | was at
Long Branch with my mother.
One warm day | was going tU New

TIE CNirAEilN FMI.- Tie fair and
festival held in Columbia Hall. We'd
ncsdny evening. under the auspices of
the ladies of the Unitarian Society,
was one OF The lest planned and most
admirably executed entertainments ever
given in this place. The decorations
were superb, especially the aoral bower,
arranged and presided over by Mrs. s.
Coulter and Miss Stevens. The fancy
needlcwork displayed at the tables in
charge of Mrs. G. C. Phillips and Mrs.
IL. Barnes, Was also great attraction
for many. In the center of the hall
was arranged tasty music stand, where
Profs. Hays and Roberts discourscd
sweet music. Near the entrance were
placed number of tables, just large
enough for cosy parties of four, graced
with viands in tempting profusion.
These were under the especial charge
of the prcttiest, the wittiest, and the
most charming girls, even in this COM
munity so famed for beauty. From
their fair hands were dispensed ice
cream, strawberries, lemonade and
other delicacies, to which their sweet
smiles added peculiar relish.
Space will not permit us to partic-
ularize further. The attendance was
exceedingly creditable, and the aggre-
gate amount realized-s23O- sufficient
ly large to indicate that they were in
generous mood. To the indefatiyible
exertions of Mrs. G. H. Hale, tho Presi-
dent of the society, and the ladies' who
conducted the arrangements, the pub
lie is indebted for most agreeable en-
tertainment, and the church for q
bountiful supply of "the sinews of

ly its preservation of a steady, even
condition of the loan market, then the
national Ranking system must be con-
coded to lave proved itself sadly def
cent in some of the most essential con-
di;ions of good banking. The business
of the country has clearly outgrown the
basis on which the system was first es-
tablished. No further proof of this is
needed than the fact that the loans of
the banks have to be contracted at the
very season when the marketing of the
crops call for their extension. The le-
gal tender currency is required at the
same time for purposes of general Gil
cu!ation and for the reserves of the
banks. The people have absolute con-
troll over so much as may be needed for
their own purposes, while the banks
have no control over the supply neces-
sary for their reserves; being at all times
subject to paying them on demand.
With this difficulty in keeping in their
vaults an amount of lawful money equal
to the requirements of the reserve laws,
the ability of the banks to loan is being
steadily curtailed; for their loans become
i'll turn, deposits, against which reserve
has to be held. This is especially the
case with the banks of New York City;
and the same difficulty is rapidly gain
ing ground in all the money centres of
the country. Just in proportion as the
business of the Nation expands, the
embarrassment from this cause becomes
more serious; and our banking arrange
ments, therefore, can only be expected
to work more and more injury each sue
ceeding year. The consciousness of this
steady aggravation of the difficulty, and
the consequent fear of return of strin-
gency in the fall months, has materially
contributed to the depression of bust
mass which now prevails.
