suffer in silence and sorrow. They have
officially and deliberately examined
into the matter, and find Chang blame
less They have taken the two brothers
and filled Chang full of warm water and
sugar and Eng full of whisky, and in
twenty-five minutes it was not possible to
tell which was the drunkest. Both were
as drunk as looms, and on hot whisky
punches. from the smell of their breath
Yet all the while Chang's moral princi-
pies were unsullied; his conscience clear;
and so all just men were forced to confess
he was not morally but only physically
drunk. By every right and by every
moral evidence the man was strictly
sober, and therefore it caused his friends
all the more anguish to see him shake
hands with the pump and try to wind his
watch with his night-key.
There is a moral in these solemn warn
ings, or at least warning in these solemn
morals, one or the other. No matter, it
is somehow. Let US keep it; let US profit
by it.
l could say more of an instructive ma
ture about these interesting beings, but
let what have written suffice.
Having forgotten to mention it sooner,
l will remark, in conclusion, that the
ages of the Siamese twins are respectively
fifty-one and fifty-three years.

A Wonderful Ride.

The night train left st. Louis for this
city Thursday night about seven O'Clock,
with good load of passengers who were
comfortable and warm in the sleeping
coaches, although the air without was
rather cool and chilly. Before the train
started, lad between sixteen and seven.
teen years Of age stole softly under one
of the sleeping coaches, straddled himself
across truck about five inches wide, and
lying on his stomach, his hands clutching
cold iron bar above for support, and
his feet entangled in chain below, he
prepared himself for an all night free ride
over more than 300 miles of road. Did
he think that any moment he could be
Jostled OF his insecure hiding place and
perhaps left in some uninhabited portion
of the country through which the train
passed, alone to die? Did he consider
that sleep might overcome him while on
his perilous trip and death ensue, or that
numbness might creep over him, and his
hands thus fail him as support? Doubt
less not; he was only thinking, probably,
of reaching his destination, which was his
home, and which he had but lately left.
The train moved on, the boy clutched
the iron bar tighter, and Rugged his sup.
port more closely. Off shot the train, the
iron horse screeching its lOudest; faster,
until its speed at times reached mile a
minute, but still the boy, only about fouI
feet from the ground, kept fast hold, never
closing his eyes for a minute. What
thoughts must have flashed through his
mind, young as he was! Minutes must
have seemed hours, and hours weeks.
But the night at last was done; the first
streaks of dawn Illuminated the horizon
and when the train reached Otisco, Ind.
about twenty miles from Jacksonville
the boy was still safe and sound.
The glorious god of day had thrown its
gladdening light upon his eyes. Some OF
the chains of the brakes had become
broken, and in repairing them the men
found, to their establishment, the boy still
lying there, uncOncerned and even laugh
ing. He was taken off by the conductor
stiff and cold, and covered with dust
from head to foot The conductor
questioned him as to why he attempted
such ride He replied that he lived
in Jacksonville, and that short time age
he went to St. Louis with an elder broth
er, who ran away to California, leaving
him in large city alone, and with nc
money. That wishing to get home he
took this novel method; and said he: % ]
didn't mind it much except for the dust
The conductor said that as he had rid
den thus far free he might take the best
seat inside the cars and ride the rest o.
the way at the same cost.
On the back of his coat were little rents
which had been made during the nigh
by the slight pressure Of the car on his
back. Expressions of sympathy were
rendered by the passengers as soon az
they heard of his perilous journey, many
of them saying they would have beer
willing to have paid his passage had they
known of his reckless determination. L
was, indeed, a wonderful ride, and be
tokened an extraordinary courage on the
part of the boy.-L0u5S0jUe C0Wr5er-JowT

THE FLOWER OF LOVE LIES

That she had Just been reading,
But was too young to understand
That ditty of q distant land

To where brook was flowing,
Across the brook like wind did pass
Wherever flowers were growing.

Perhaps 1t grows in some dark bower

Rolling the Ground.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Germantown
Telegraph writes:
con dry or wet ground the effect of
the roller is found to be salu-
tary. Plowed and prepared for sowing,
dry land is much helped by the roller.
The blades of grass spring up sooner and
retain a firmer hold in the earth. In a
season of drought, rolling has saved the
crop when without it the seed would
have never sprung from the ground In
wet and heavy ground it is believed the
roller, smoothing and hardening the sur
face, will leave the soil Immediately be-
meath the surface in better condition 10
generate the seed. On grass ground that
has been heaved by the frost the roller
has an excellent effect in fixing the roots.
Rolling the ground is also good when the
land has been laid down unevenly the
previous wear. If the Ian is too dry, wait
till Just after a soaking rain, and it will
work capitaLy. 1t is good idea to roll
plowed sowed ground before narrowing,
as it presses down the burrows that would
be turned back, and makes the surface less
uneven, and the harrow pulverizes it
much. We find that on an average not
one farmer in four has roller"

ALL CAN DO SOMETHING.

A little boy, brimful of fun,
Running as hard as he could run,
Plunged In pond, head over heels,
Among the fish and silver cells.
His elder brother caught his hand,
And brought him safely back to land;
The second fished his floating cap;
His sister cried at his mishap;
And all directly homeward came,
Dreadlng 10 hear their fathers blame.
His kindness laid their fears atrest;
Trey told the truth, and truth Is best.
He heard their talk, then, smiling, said,
Patting the hrstupon the head,
=" Your courage saved your drowning brother
Receive this book; and now another
l give the second for his aid.
But what for you. my little maidf
You nothing did; you only cried;
And yet your right is not denied.
You little did, but that was good;
Your little was just what you could.
To you an equal gift is shared;
Your kind desire L now reward
Thus let us help poor dying souls
With all the means our power controls;
Stretch forth the hand, some burden bear,
Or raise our hearts in fervent prayer;
The Lord of men, the God most high,
Approves Us if we only cry.

The Blessing Of Fun.

AS people we are given to sobrlety of
demeanOr. Mirthfulness and jOllity are
hardly to be reckOned as among our prom
inent national characteristics; albeit we
are not without a certain dry humOr and
wit of our own and know the droll thing
when we happen to see it, But we do not
| laugh very much. The stamp that the
grim and decorOus Puritan and the stately
and gracious Cavalier set upon our coun-
| try when they landed upon its shores has
never been removed. Not all the influx
of streams from many natiOns-.jOvial
German, prodigal Irish, passionate Span
ish mercurial French or tranquil Swede
has taken from US as people the sober,
grave, steady and self-repressed exterior
which is second nature with all English
speaking folk; yet we are glad when we
are made to laugh in spite of ourselves.
The man who says funny things week after
week in the columns of village newspa-
per becomes suddenly a popular favorite,
and waking up some fine morning finds
himself famous. The darling of the ly-
ceum is the man who successfully mimics
the foibles and follies of the times, with a
spice of fun dashing the satire of his de
scriptions The ballad that sings its way
into everybody's heart has touch of
! drOllery mingled with its pathOs, and the
preacher whose sermons are touched here
and there with an honest good humor or
streak of genuine mirth is sure to be
sought by the many. We all crave the
rest and recreation that lie in amusement,
and better than a hundred prescriptions
from the pharmacopGia is the tonic that
fingers in a hearty laugh.
The other day, tired and dispirited, we
took our journey hOmeward, in a car
about half full of people, who like our
selves were spiritless and weary. An old
apple-wOman sat in one corner, an elderly
gentleman, with immense whiskers and a
gold-headed cane, read the paper in an
other In the middle, frigid as breath
from Greenland's icy mountains, erect
and stiff, sat fashionable lady, and dot
ted here and there were young and mid
dle-aged men and women, with business
written over all their faces and forms.
Into this assembly, all as unsympathetic
as so many sphinxes, suddenly entered,
with chatter and hustle, and sparkle and
ripple of voices, and little crescendo and
diminuendO peals of laughter, half
dozen schoolgirl They were glowing
with health and overlooking with fun,
and by the very sunshine of their pres
ence, in a half moment or so, they wrought
metamorphosis in that car. The apple
