THE CRUSADE IN PERRYsBURG.

Wednesday last was field day in tenn
perance operations in our village. The
ladies finding that their songs 4 nd prayers,
which had availed much in the reforma-
ton OF drinking men, had little or no ef-
feet upon the saloon-keepers, abandoned
that method of procedure.

Trials CT q Twin.

In form and feature. face and limb,
I grew SO like my brother,
That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another.
It puzzled all our kith and kin,
Itreached n fearful pitch;
For one of us was born twin,
And not q soul knew which.
One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names We're fixed,
: Aswe were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed;
And thus, you see, by fate's decree,
Or rather nurses whim,
My Brother John got christencd me,
And got christened him.
This fatal likeness ever dogged
,2tM My footsteps when at school,
And / was always getting flogged,
When John turned out fool;
i put this question, fruitlessly,
TO every one l knew,
N1What would you do, if you were me,
20 prove that you were you!"
Our close resemblance turned the tide
Z OF my domestic life,
For somehow, my intended bride
Became my brothers wife,
In fact, year after year the same
Absurd mistakes went on.
And when | died, the neighbors came
: And buried brother John.

LOVE OF Fun IN ANIMALS.-It is well
known that lambs hold regular sports
apart from their dams, Which only look on
composedly Mt a little distance to watch,
and perhaps enjoy their proceedings.
Monkeys act in the same manner, and so
do dogs, the friskincss of which resemble
that of children. Mr.. Leigh Hunt once
told DR.. Robert Chambers that he had OBJ
served il young spider sporting about its
parent. running up to and away from it in
playful manner. Hehas likewise watch
ed kitten amusing itself by running along
past its mother, to whom she always gave
little pat on the cheek as she passed.
The elder cat endured the pats TRANQUILITY
for while, but at length becoming irri-
tated, she took an opportunity to hit her
offspring IL blow on the side of the head,
which sent the little creature spinning to
the other side of the room. where shelook-
ed extremely puzzled at what had happen
ed. An irritated human being would have
acted in precisely the same manner.
Senator Booth, of California, in a late
speech. said: 1.-The word of a member of
a grange should be sterling in every tram
saction, and pass current as the coin Of the
realm. Not only his field, but his life,
should be fruitful by his association. His
presence at home should be an atmosphere
of peace. and his influence among his
neighbors as fragrant as an orchard in
bloom

How THE INDIANS CLIMB TREEs.-ln
South America even the weakest woman
may be. not uncommOnly, seen plucking
the fruit at the tree tops. If the bark is
soIsmooth and slippery that they cannot 90
up by climbing, they use other means.
They make Il hoop of wild vines. and put
ting their feet inside, they use it as Il sup
port in climbing. The negro of the west
coast of Africa makes a larger hoop round
the tree and gets inside of it, and jerks it
up the trunk with his hands, a little at a
time, drawing his legs up after it. The
Tahitian boys tie their feet together, four
or five inches apart, with piece of palm
bark, and with the aid Of this fctter 90 up
the cocoa palms to gather nuts. The native
women of Australia climb the rum tree
after opossums; where the bark is rough
they chop holes with 4 ratchet, then one
throws about the tree q rope twice as long
as will 90 round itputs her Ratchet on her
cropped head, and, placing her feet against
the tree and grasping the rope with her
hands, she bitches it up by Jerks, and pulls
herself up the enormous trunk almost as
fast as man can climb a ladder.
