day forenoon by an attentive audience, many OF

The sermon was founded ON the scene described

Paul, who had raised his voice against the wor-

The World naively confesses that the
Bureau of Education "has always received
strong opposition from the Democratic side OF
the House." Of course. In taking this posi-
ton they are simply fighting for their politi-

THE Maine Central, it is said, has suffi-

stock, but by the terms of the contract with
Eastern, the directors cannot declare divid-
end until the latter does so. 1t is understood
that the Eastern is not in a condition to make
dividend, consequently the stockholders OF
the Maine Central must be deprived of such
luxury until the Eastern is prepared to do so.
This, the wise ones say, is the cause of II e
restiveness of the Maine Central people.

SLEPT WITH HIS SPURS ON.

Eyes" said the old man with smile, II
remember one time in particular, while out
prospecting with an old friend, about twenty
years ago. We were travelling on horseback,
and came across tavern one night about ten
o'clock. Being very tired and hungry, as
soon as we got some supper, and something
warm to keep the cold out, we asked to be
shown to our room.
On looking around we found that the room
had two beds in it, one of which was already
occupied by two strangers, who were both sno-
ring Justify. The fact of their being two beds
in the room did not surprise US, as in backwood
taverns there were frequently three beds in a
room. We undressed, and just as I was
going to blow out the light, my friend,
who had got into bed, espied the foot of one of
the strangers sticking through the bed clothes
at the foot of the bed. With Suppressed
chuckle he motioned me to hold on moment !;
he got quietly out of bed, and going to where
the strangers boots were, he took off huge,
sharp Mexican spur, and carefully adjusted
With another audible chuckle as he thought
of the consequences that would follow when
the stranger drew in his foot, he got back into
bed, and l blew out the light and followed him.
He soon managed to get long straw from
the bed and reached over and tickled the
sleeper's foot. He instantly drew his legs up
until his knees almost touched his chin.
In doing so, he drew the spur the whole
length of his bed-fellow's leg, making bad
scratch. The victim uttered yell, and
sprang out of bed with muttered exclamation
that did not make out, and he commenced
a wild dance around the room, with his Meth
er garment under his arms, and making fran
tic efforts either to dislocate his neck, or to
see how badly he was hurt, all the while
making eXclamations that would have made
a baggage man with Saratoga trunk on
his shoulders turn green with envy. The in
nocent cause of all the trouble had been awak-
ened at the first yell of the victim, and in
Strengthening himself out, scratched himself
most numerically. He did not yell nor say
bad words, but he jumped out of bed and made
for his friend with the purpose of taking
vengeance, I supposed ; but he had not taken
two steps before he jabbed the spur into his
leg again. The landlord then appeared with
s. light, followed by half the boarders in the
house, and inquired what the matter was.
An examination brought to light the spur,
which explained the matter. The stranger
looked sheepishly at the spur, then at his
scratch, and finally examined his boots, and
with sickly smile said: "Well, boys, 1 have
lived all my life among people who wear
spurs, but l never before saw man who
could pull off his boots and leave his spurs on
his foot I'll treat in the morning"
