A Wicked Boy "Astronomises.' y

They say, writes Max Adeler, that
the chief astronomer at the Wash
ington observatory was dreadfully
sold few days ago. A wicked
boy, whose Sunday school experl.
cnce seems only to have made him
more depraved, caught a FREELY,
and stuck it, with the aid of some
mucilage, in the center of the
largest lens in the telescope. That
night, when the astronomer went to
work, he perceived blaze Of light
apparently in the heavens, and what
amazed him more was that it would
give couple of spurts and then die
out, only to burst forth again in a
second or so. He examined it care
fully for a few moments, and then
began to do sums to discover where
in the hcayens this extraordinary
star was placed. He thought
he found the locality, and
the next morning he telegraphed all
over the universe that he had dis.
covered new and remarkable star
Of the third magnitude in Orion.
In n day or two all the astronomers
in Europe and America were gazing
at it for hours until they were mad,
and then they began to telegraph
to the man in Washington to know
what he meant. The discoverer
took another look, and found that
the new star had moved about
eighteen billions of miles in twenty.
four hours; and upon examining it
closely, he was alarmed to perceive
that it had legs! When he went on
the dome the next morning, to pol.
ish up his glass, he found the light
ming bug. People down at Alexan-
dria, seven miles distant, heard
part of the swearing, and they say
that he infused into it much whole
souled sincerity and vigorous en-
crgy. The bills for telegraphic de-
spatches amounted to $4,000, and
now the astronomer wants to find
that boy. He wishes to consult with
him about something.

The Davenport Gazette gives the
following mode by wpich the Ill
inois merchants evade the Illinois
railroad law.
The business Of the c., r. I & P.
railroad in this city has increased
considerably lately, owing to q new
light that has been shed upon the
minds of merchants and manufac-
lures in Rock Island and Moline.
Freight for the east is taken, and
from the east is received here, at
rates that are not exactly up to the
standard Of the terms imposed by
the Illinois law. In other words,
while special rates on Rock Island
and Moline freight are not allowa-
BILE under the Illinois law, they are
allowable under the Iowa law. So
now the shrewd gents over the river
order goods and other purchases at
Chicago and the east shipped to
Davenport on the best terms posi-.
BILE to be made, take the same from
the freight house here in any way
they please, and have it transferred
across the river to them. This lit
tie plan OF "getting around" the an
ii discrimination law of their State
has such happy effect that they
bid fair to continue it for al time to
come, should the law not be repeal.
ed. And it is said that the mer.
chants in the towns on the line Of
the road in the interior of Illinois
really envy our neighbors over the
river in the facilities thus afforded
them.

women that, under the incessant
wear and tear of little vexations,
have borne in obscurity the flower
of patience and the fruit of long
suffering.
In great trials there are compen.
sations. All the world of our ac-
quaintance is looking upon us, per-
chance, and the large stage upon
which our fortitude or our integrity
is exercised affords us some stimu-
lus. Or, at least, our own egotism
finds a satisfaction in conscious he
roism. But there is a meanness
about little cares that shuts out this
consolation. The great heroes are
not they to whom the world builds
monuments, and whose memoirs
stand on all our shelves. We stun
BILE over their unmarked graves in
every cemetery. Only Gods trans
planting shall reveal them in their
glory.
The little trial of life may bring
us evil instead of good. We may
get harm out of croquet. Trials
only do good to those that are pro.
perly exercised thereby. The diff
cultics of life and the vexations ot
croquet are means upon which we
may exercise our virtues and grow
strong. But we may, by giving
way to our weaknesses, lose even
what strength we have.

A plainly but perfectly dressed
lady, with the best blood in the
world in her veins, and-what is
more imposing to the haberdashing
heart-with plenty Of money in her
pocket, went, not long since, into a
shop to buy napkins. The poten-
tate of the counter showed
her such napery as he thought
suited to her social condition.
"These are rather COARSE" she sug-
gested; "have you some tlner?''
"Oh, yes," said the gentleman, "but
they are more expensive" 1t is
ever to be regretted that the lady
turned in silence and left the shop,
because that clerk will never know
that it was his own idiotic effront-
cry, and not the expense Of the nap
kins, which lost him the customer.
A lady who never made any very
great figure in the world, and cer-
tainly not in waterproof cloak on
o rainy day, was seeking = parasol.
The clerk showed her some very
common, not to say shabby, speci-
mems, which she declined. A lit.

Checkmating Q Peddler.

The Hartford Times has a pass
ion for all sorts Of chess puzzles,
conundrums and oddities. In that
respect no one was ever known to
"check" it. Being left free to graf
ify its inclinations, it relates the
following good story about the ever
favorite game:
Everybody knows how perseve.
ring and persistent all peddlars are,
and especially tinware peddlars.
AS a class they are the most persc-
vering mortals who ever traversed
the streets Of city. Now one of
these itinerant venders of tinware
who, some years ago, had made q
certain New England city his base
Of operations, secured the place so
thoroughly and chung on" SO perse-
veringly that he had come to be re-
garded as a pest.
At one house in particular, owned
and occupied by maiden lady who
kept single servent, he had met
with constant rebuffs and assurances
that nothing was wanted, but, as it
was a boast of his that he never
gave up calling until he sold them
something, he continued his troub-

lesome visits until the lady of the
house was at her wits end how to
stop them.
Now, it SO happened that this la
dy, who was chess player, and
passionately fond of the game, one
day, while playing with lady
friend, was excessively annoyed by
the everlasting peddler, who had
pushed past the servant girl, as he
had repeatedly done before, and
stood before the mistress, and with
oily tongue, regardless Of the appar-
ent fact that the lady was deeply in
terested in the game of chess, tried
his utmost to force a sale of his
goods.
To the lady's decided "Now re-
peated several times, he simply re-
hearsed the catalogue Of his wares
again and again, until patience on
her part ceased to be a virtue, and
she wondered if her favorite game,
which Franklin said taught 80 ma
ny things, would not show her how
his impertinence could be perpetu-
ally checked without resorting to
harshness.
At length an idea occurred to her,
which she shrewdly put into execu-
tion. 1nterrupting the peddler in
the midst of tin panegyric, she in
quired: "Have you any tin wash

eyes ma'am," and as it was a bit.
ter cold day, he did not invite the
lady out to examine his wares, but
FASTENED away to get the samples.
He deposited them on the floor in
front of the lady, who next asked if
he had any tin pans. Away he hur-
ried to bring the pans, and chuck
ling at the success of his zeal, NUT
tered: "There is nothing like stick
ing. If d man wants to succeed he
must stick. Hereafter my motto
shall be Stick"
After the pans were deposited, the
lady next called for colanders.
Away went the peddler to get the
articles, saying to himself. My
motto is "stick!"
The lady kept on enumerating ar
ticles until the peddler had trans
ferred most Of his load on the floor,
in front of the Unsuitable customer.
Then the lady resumed the game
of chess, taking no further notice OF
the peddler or his wares. After
waiting till his patience was well
nigh exhausted, he finally said, "Is
there anything else you want,
ma'am?"
Just then her adversary's king
was in position to be attacked,
and she muttercd the accustomed
word, check"

dler. "It must be q new article,
isn't it ma'am?"
The lady players looked at each
other and smiled, and one of them
remarked, 1T Is said to be thou.

The peddlcr rclapsed into silence,
and the game went on. 1t was q
slow and somewhat tedious contest
and the peddler at last quite lost
his patience, and blurted out, this
time with less deferential tone of
voice, "Is there anything else you
want, ma'am?"
The lady calmly lifted her eyes,
and answered with imperturable
GOODNESS, "Oh, no! l don't want any
of these. l only asked if you had
them"
Then it dawned on the peddler
that he had been badly sold, and af:
ter reloading, muttered, "My motto
is, cut stick"

The Unvritten Side Of Great Mon.

We always think of great men as
in the act Of performing the deeds
which give them renown, or else in
stately repose, grand, gloomy and
majestic. And yet this is hardly
fair, because even the most gorgeous
and magnificent of human beings
have to bother themselves with the
little things oflife which engage the
attention Of US smaller people. No
doubt Moses snuffed and got angry
when he had a severe cold in his
head, and if a fly bit his leg while
he was sitting in the desert, why
should we suppose he did not jump
and use violent language and rub
the sore place? And C@sar,-isn't
it tolerably certain that he used to
become furious when he went
upstairs to get his slippers in the
dark and found that Calphurnia
had showed them back under the bed
so that he had to sweep around Wild
ly for them with the broom-handle?
And when Solomon cracked his era
zy-bone, is it unreasonable to sup
pose that he hoped around the
room and looked mad and felt as if
he wanted to cry? Imagine George
Washington sitting on the edge of
the bed putting on q clean shirt, and
growing at Martha because the but
tons were off; or St. Augustine with
an apron round his neck having his
hair cut; or Joan Of Arc holding her
front hair in her teeth, as women do,
while she fixed up her back hair; or
Napoleon jumping out of bed in a
frenzy to chase mosquito around
the room with pillow; or Martin
Luther in night-shirt trying to put
the baby to sleep at o'clock in the
morning; or Alexander the Great
with the hiccoughs; or Thomas JEFF
ferson getting suddenly over fence
to avoid dog; or the Duke of We'll
lington lying in bed with the mumps;
or Daniel Webster abusing his wife
because she hadn't tucked the COW
ers in the foot Of the bed; or Jona-
than Edwards at the dinner-table
wanting to snceze just as he gets his
mouth full Of hot beef; or Ben Frank.

THE OLD COUPLE.

1t stands in q sunny meadow,
The house SO mOssy and brown;
With its cumbrous, old stone chimneys,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around 1t.
The trees, century old;
And the winds 60 chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill;
And beside the brook in the pastures,
The herds 60 feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone!
And the old wife's tears are falling,
As she harks to the well-known tone.
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has s0Othed her In many care,
Aud praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again Of her bridal
How, dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover,
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh, the morning 10 as rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek is ned;
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it tails on silvered head.
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill Of apring times prime.
And looked forth from the window.
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door-stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs young gold;
l<Nxyn -. hna srIt As,1 1rvht tAl
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm;
rrssAnd their last breath hoated upward,
Like the close OF solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
Whose builder and maker is Cod
Perhaps In that miracle country
They will give her lost youth back;
And the flowers of a vanished spring time.
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters,
Shall call back his manhOOd's prime;
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made holy 10 Us by the kisses
The angel had printed there.
We will hide meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west;
Where the sunbeam cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And we'll suffer no tell-tale tomb stone,
With its age and date TO rise;
Ger the two who are old no O1ger
In the Fathers house in the skies.

tie further down the counter she
bought a whole piece of fine and
costly linen, observing which the
knight Of the parasol came down
and begged her to re-examine his
assortment, Of which he had con-
trived to unearth an altogether diff
ferent and better collection. She,
too, fell below the requirements Of
the occasion, and bought her para
sol without enlightening him upon
her discovery of his stupid mistake.
A lady, large and lovely, a serene
Quaker goddess, made some bcnev-
olent casual remark to the clerk
with whom she was trafficing, just
as she would have patted the head
of strange dog who might have
run up and shifted at her gown, and
the little whipper-snapper clerk
followed her to the door and-wink-
ed at her! And when she stood
staring at him in her first amazed
consciousness of his individual ex-
istence, he winked again! Thus va
cuous do the gods make the human
skull, yet furnish it with all the gan
glia of life.
Happy those merchants who can
secure the right sort OF clerks!-for
a right sort there is. / bought a
table-cloth of him yesterday. l had
forgotten to take the size of the ta-
Bile, or pattern of the color to be

probable needs from my fragmen-
tary facts, discussed pleasantly the

Of my dining room as if he expec-
ted to eat there thrice day during

Did he deceive me? Not bit. /

room was no more to him than the
peanut stand on the common oppo-
site. Ne and it he has already
alike forgotten. None the less was
his momentary and friendly, but
not familiar assumption of interest
in me and mino altogether winning
and encouraging; and doubtless
also was it, for that moment, alto
gether sincere. His sympathetic
and refined nature does unquestion-
ably and spontaneously ally itself
for succor and good cheer to all
who appeal to him. May his kind
heart, his welcoming face and his
engaging manners be u mine OF
wealth to himself and all his EN-.
ployers and dependents.

though of little value for agricultu-

THE DISAPPOINTED.
. The'neighboring towns that have
been sadly disappointed and greatly
mortified at not being chosen as the
location for the terminus, may be
reconciled in a great measure by
the considerations that they are in
no worse position than they were
before the present location was
made public; and that the railroa d,
when completed, will give a stim-
ulus to immigration to the Sound
and Territory, the Development of
all its material interests and re-
sources and the general prosperity
of the country beyond the anticipa-
tions Of the most sanguine. The
Northern Pacific Railroad, if man
aged for the interests of the States
and Territories, by charging low
freights and cheap fares, and ap-
pointing obliging offers, for which
the magnificent grant by Congress
was made, will give grand impulse
to the mental powers of the people,
and to successful enterprises, that
will astonish themselves.
