Justice Miller, of New Castle, tells
this story about himself: My wife had
half a dozen Leghorn hens and a roost.
er which she thought everything Of.
She had all the modern Improvements
put into the hen-house, and took special
pains to see that her fowls enioyed all
the luxuries that well-regulated and
orderly hens should enjoy. One day a
friend of mine from Groton Falls gave
me a game-cock. OF course I had to
keep him in a coop to prevent him from
exterminating the Leghorn rooster. Nv
wife dislked gamefowls, and had tofeed
him my self. One morning the rooster
got out. He went straight for the mas
culine Leghorn. 1 pursued him, and
seemingly made a desperate Efforts to
catch him. But 1 took good care not
to capture him until he had had half a
dozen enchanting battles with Leghcrn.
When I thought that Leghorn had
about all he could stand, I eooped up
my chicken. Mrs. Miller was excited,
and I was very sorry about tie acct
dent. The next night 1 went out to.
find my rooster, but he was not in his
coop. I searched the yard, but could
not find him. 1 went into the
kitchen and made inquiries of my wife.
"He got out this morning." said Mrs.
Miller.
"How did he get out ?" SAID I.
"llet him out" said she.
Where did he &c? q said I.
"Into that pot" said " wife, point
ing to the steaming vessel on the
stove.
I haven't had a game fowl since.

regarding the phenomenal volcanic

proverb which forbids discussion in

past the sentimental age, and their con-

more absurd than that of young people
under the same distressing circum-
stances. The lady possessed a fine poetic
temperament and a little moustache.
The lover professed to adore the former,
but the sequel proved hat it was the
latter which really claimed his homage.
One fatal day she applied q razor to her
lip and removed her unusual feminine
ornament, and with her hair, as with

also. Her lover, discovering the impo-
sition that had been practiced upon him
by the removal of the lady's principal
charm, rated her soundly, demanded an
apology for the outrage upon his sense
of the beautiful, and finally struck her.
The engagement ended, and the lady

Out i'm the Cold World.

The Dubuque Times relates that the
other night prominent citizen. being
aroused by the tire-bells, rushed to the
door of his house in his night clothes to
see where the fire was. The door was
provided with night lock, and when
he closed it it fastened itself, and there
he was, out in the night, with no way to
get back. His wife was out of town.
the servants were off to a dance. the son
down to the fire. Several desperate
Jerks OF the bell and frantic pounding
on the door-the more frantic by the
thought that his property on Main
street might be burning or endangered
failed to bring a response. Notwitb-
standing his cool attire, sweat dropped
from every pore. Just as he had
reached that nearly crazed condition
which would render him unaccountable
for any act, one of the servants came
rushing home. The woman, shocked
az finding her master in SO slightly clad
a condition, put hen hands over her
eyes, gave a slight shrek, and started
quickly away. "Come back here. con-
found you. Let me in i'' fairly Kissed
the master. But the woman. now
frightened, ran, and then there was a
foot-race, and lively futter the
ghostly garment kept up as a cadence
to the swift flying feet of the man.
just as the man had been brought to a
sudden stop by painful bruise of his
foot, and was nursing it with curses
loud and deep, his son put in an ap-
pearance with key.

MARROW GAUGE RAILRoADs.-Iti is be-
coming clear that narrow guage rail-
roads are going to be important factors
in the future development of new coun-
tries. 1t is SAID by expert Judges of
the ratio of expense IN transportation,
that a road of three feet gauge can
carry five tons of paying freight on each
car as cheaply as the ordinary gauge
road can carry the cars empty. In the
case of the Grand Rapids, Greenville
and Alpena railroad, of Michigan, it is
shown that whereas the 236 miles of
road would cost, if built on the four
