A Western musical critic thus speaks of a

scalp, and following it up with roar that
would shame basson."

MAKE HASTE SLowLY.-This golden pre-
cept, which was first enunciated centuries
ago, is as sound to-day as when it was first
uttered, and its application is as needful and
important to ourselves as to the people to
whom it was first addressed
Frantic haste'is the besetting evil of the
Americans and Of the present generation.
We make haste to be rich We make haste to
arrive at a journeys end; we make haste to
acquire knowledge.
In all the avenues Of trade, commerce,
manufactures travel study, in everything we
do, we hurry along at head-long rate.
Yet we all know that those trees which
grow most rapidly are the soonest to decay
that the brilliant flower which blooms a few
weeks from seed-time perishes at the frs,
breath of autumn while the sturdy oak, slow
in growth and development, defles the storm,
of centuries Horsemen say it is not iistanc,
that kills, it's the pace. Would this trutl
were recognized in the management Of tn
human racs, a. wall a. in the training Q
animals.

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HuRRAH.-Edmund
Yates writes that the Frenchman can't :" hur-

is astonishing to us. Englishmen can cheer ;
Americans can cheer. We give our Hip-hip-
hurrah and you throw In a tiger which
makes all the blue ethereal sky resound.-

A lady in Paducah was recently awakened
from sound sleep by a noise in her chamber.
It was quite dark, but she could see an i'm
mense fire bug performing eccentric gyrations
around the bed accompanied by noise which
sounded altogether different from that made
by any insect she had ever seen. She was
startled at first, but soon recovering, she
watched her opportunity and made sudden
grasp at the large brilliant star as it APP
preached. She caught something and held on
to it, while at the same moment the familiar
voice of her husband was heard to mutter in
distinct anathemas against bats and other
vermin. The lady found that it was her hus-
bands nose she held. He had been out to the
lodge, and somehow fallen asleep, during
which a mischievous brother had painted his
nose with PHOSPHORUS, causing it to shine out
in the darkness like jack-o-lantern.

and grief the eye can express at times,
aud In his own person maNeS mute
