rules of love to God and ones neighbor, it

The plays of children are their best oppor-

on the other hand, let any parent strictly for

Weeks passed, and Sam with his show re
turned to Cincinnati, where, as matter Of
course, the popularity ofthe managerial jester
drew excellent houses. The deputy and the
creditor were both delighted with the pros
pect of speedy settlement of the outstanding
claim.
"You're going to play that trick now ?
suggested the deputy sheriff, anxious for his
fees and compensation.
"It won't do in Cincinnati" replied Sam
with knowing leer; "we'er doing we'll enough
without it"
Several days after delegation of notableS
from the opposite side of the river invited the
inimitable Sam to become the ecipient of q
complimentary testimonial in the town OF
Covington, in the neighboring State of Ken
lucky, under the auspices of the leading Off
cials.
"Now's the time, old fellow" quoth Sam
exultantly, as he placed the document in the
hands of the deputy. "I'll astonish them and
you too. I'll do that great trick"
Visions of a handsome recompense tioated
before the eyes of the deputy, who was more
over anxious to view his execution of that
much promised great trick, so long and mys
teriously withheld from the public. Hence
he cheerfully consented to allow the establish
ment to pass over the river and open for the
entertainment of the Kentuckians.
"Don't forget the great trick, SAM" sug
gested the deputy.
you'll see it before the nights over" re-
piled the jester.
The circus entertainment yielded pecu
mary harvest Sam excelled all his previous
droleries, yet the sheriff, who watched the
performance narrowly, failed to see the prom
ised trick.
"Sam, you didn't do that great trick" said
the sheriff, as he entered the box office, to get
his usual share of the receipts.
"Yes, I've done it," quoth Sam hilariously,
pocketing the entire contents of the treasury,

rejoined the sheriff, in virtuous indignation.
"You and the attachment be hanged,
whistled Sam maliciously; "it might DO in
Ohio but we're in Kentucky now, and l don't
think I'll cross the river for a time at least.
Now what do you think of the great trick
It's great joke when you come to know it,
The sheriff saw the point of the joke when
he reflected that through his carelessness, the
property had passed beyond the jurisdiction
of the court issuing the process whereby he
had temporary control of an establishment
which had slipped from beneath his legal
fingers. Yet, like philosophical genius, he
returned to his discomitted employers all the
wiser for the practical lesson evolved through
the clowns great trick.

Do HORSES REASON 20. w. Fiske, in
Our Dumb Animals, says: For many years |

that horses have reasoning powers, and can

For the last two years I have driven my
mare nearly every day over the same road.
About one mile from my home are two roads,
one leading to the church, the other to the
depot. Now six days in the week drive to
the cars, and on Sunday to the church. At
the point where these roads separate, I give
my mare her head, leaving her free to make
her choice, and on week days she will 60

On week days start from my stable in a

my house in acarryall, thus making an entire

from these facts she must be guided in her
choice of roads.

KINGS OF BUSINESS, KINGS OF MEN.
But all these qualities that 1 have mention
ed-honesty, knowledge, selfcontrol, resolu-
ticn, perseverance-will not make man
king of business. An individual, let him be
the greatest man that ever lived, cannot &C.
com plish much unless he knows how to avail
himself of the services of others. In going
over the letters and dispatches of Napoleon
Bonaparte, detest him, but he had his good
points. Nothing struck me more than the
painshe took to distinguish and crafty the men
who served him. In our complicated modern
life, a man may get together an enormous
mass of property and yet never become king
of business. There are kings and there are
slaves of business, and it is not till man has
made fortune that we can certainly tell to
which of these classes he belongs.
