The man that laughs heartily is the
doctor without diploma. His face does
more good in a sick room than q bushel
Of powdesor or gallon Of bitter draught<.
People are always glad to see him. Their
hands instinctively go half way out to
meet his grasp, while they turn involun-
tarily from the clammy touch Of the dys-
peptic who speaks In the groaning hey.
Such enc laughs you out Of your faults.
while YOU never think Of being offended
with him; and you never know what q
pleasant world you live in till he points
out the sunny streaks on its pathway.

IT may perhaps be interesting to the
friends of. Mr.. Keyser to learn that his
family will be compelled to buy all their
sausages and mince-meat this winter.
Mrs. keyser made sausage and mince-
meat on the same day, and by some mis-.
take her hired girl put cider and the
sugar into the sausages and the sweet
msrjoram and pepper into the mince-
meat. Consequently they had one meal
Of sweet and succulent sausage and q
single dessert of hot and herby mince-
pies after which Keyser magnanimously
gave the whole stock Of pie stuff and
sausages to the poor There are probably
more sick and demoralized psupers
around New Castle than in any othe'
neighborhood in the known world, and
Keysr is no longer bothered with beg

Colonel Forney writes an interesting
account of the exploits of Captain Paul
Boynton, whose wonderful swimming
feats have recently attracted 20 much
attention in London. Captain Boynton,
il will be remembered, is the inventor OF
an ingeniously contriyed life-saving sp-
paratus, the virtues of which he put to a
test a short time ago by jumping overheard
from the national steamer The Queen,
off the Irish coast, and clothed IN MS
India rubber alright suit, with its
inflated air chambers, with food for three
days, a compass, lantern, some books
several signal rockets, an American nag
and number of letters belonging to the
passengers in his inside pocket, finally
landing ON the coast, after being tossed
on the mountainous sea for seven long
hours. Captain Boynton is now In
London, and will soon display his proves
and prove his invention by undertaking
10 cross the channel from Dover to Calais.
Captain Boynton is about twenty--even
years old, and was born in the county Of
Allegheny, Penn, but is now resident
of Philadelphia. lie served in the
American navy during the war, on the
Northern side, afterward took part in the
battles against Macmillan in Mexico,
and happening to be in Paris when the
conflict between France and Germany
hroke out. fought with the French,
returning to America at the close Of that
struggle to enter the service of the Life
Guards on the Atlantic coast for the
purpose Of saving life at watering places
and eaports. A young man who can
boast Of having saved seyenty-one human
lives, and who travels not for show, but
to prove the efficiency and usefulness Of
great life-saying invention, deserve
something more than the applause award
ed TO travelling moantebank.

They always put the pillows at the op-
posite end of the bed from the gas
burner, 10 that while you read and smoke
before sleeping (ss is the ancient and
honored custom Of bachelors), you have
to hold your book aloft, in an uncomfort-
able position, to keep the light fcm
dazzling your eyes
If they cannot get the light in an ua-
comfortable position any other way, they
move the bed.
II you pull your trunk out SIX inches
from the wall, 50 that the lid will stay up
when you open it, they always shove
that trunk back again. They do II on
purpose.
They also put your boots into mac.
cessible places. They chiefly enjoy de
posting them as far under the bed - the
wall will permit.
1t is because this compels you to get
down in an undigni6ed attitude aud
make wild sweeps for them In the dari
with the bootjack, and swear.
They always put the matchbox in
some other place. They hunt up new
place for itevery day, and put q bottle OF
other perishable glass thing where the
box stood before.
This is to cause you to break that glass
thing cropping about in the dark, and gel
yourself into trouble.
They are forever movirs the furniture,
When you come in in the night, you can
calculate on finding the bsreau where the
wardrobe was in the morning.
And when you come in at midnight,
or thereabout, you will fall over the rock
ing-chair, and you proceed toward the
window and set down In the slop-tub.
This will disgust you.
They like that.
No matter where you put anything
they won't let il stay there.
They will take il and move il the first
chance they get.
They always save up the old scraps ol
printed rubbish you throw on the floor
and stack them up carefully ON the table
and then start the FIRE with your valu
able manuscripts.
And they Use more hsiroil than an,
six men.
They keep always coming to make
your bed before you get uP. thus destroy
ing your rest and inhicting agony uPor
you, but after you get up they dom
come any more till the next day.

James +. Bowie, the inventor Of the
Bowie knife, was killed at the battle Of
the Alamo, Texas, where David Crock
EFT also fell. General Sam Houston
had caused San Antonio TO be he dis
mantled, upon which Santa Anna, with
large detachment Of his army, invest.
ed Fort Alamo, February 20, 1896. The
Texans, consisting only Of one hundred
and forty men, commanded by Colonel
William Barret Travis, retired into the
fort, while the Mexicans, four thousand
strong, after taking possession Of the
town, erected batteries on both sides Of
the river, and bombarded the fort with
out cessation for twenty-four hours
During tAis time over two hundred
shells were discharged into the fort, yet
not man was injured, while the Texan
sharpshooters, standing on the ram
parts, were able to pick ed man after
man Of the enemy. Several assaults
were now made, but in every instance
the Mexicans were replused with loss.
Colonel Travis repeatedly sent courier
to San Felipe, asking for assistance,
but only thirty-two men succeeded in
forcing their way through the Mexican
lines. and reaching the garrison. BY
March 8, scarcity Of provisions, COM
bined with constant watching, had un-
dermined the health Of the men, with
out, however, affecting their spirits.
Before daybreak on the 9Th . combined
attack was made by the whole Mexican
force. Twice sssaulting, they were
twice driven back with severe loss.
The Texans, unable TO load in the hand
to hand fight, which now ensued,
clubbed their rifles and fought with des-
peration until but six Of their band re-
mained alive. These, including Colonel
Crocket, surrendered to Castrillion, un-
der promise of protection, but being ta-
ken before Santa Anna, they were, by
his orders, instantly cut to pieces. Col.
Crocket fell stabbed by q dozen swords.
Colonel Bowie, i'll in bed, was then shot,
after having killed several Of his assail-
ants. Major Evans was shot while in
the act Of firing the powder-magazine.
The bodies Of the slain were collected In
the center of the Alamo, and after being
horribly mutilated-in which act 1t is
said Santa Anna and his generals joined
they were burned. But three persons,
4 woman, child and servant, were spared.
The Mexican loss was sixteen hundred.
The massacre Of the Alamo was followed
by the battle of San Jacinto, the defeat
of the whole Mexican army, and the
capture of Santa Anna himself, with his
generals. At this battle the Texans,
with the war-cry Of Remember the
Alamow carried all before them.

The plashing breakers on the beach seem to Tho
listening
To wall a soft sweet plaintive dirge for the de
parting year;
The yellow leaves, whirl'd DER the path by the
sharp Autumn breeze,
In eddy1ng clouds are falling fast from all the
ruStling trees.
The frost-beads sparkle on the grass bright in
the chilly dawn;
The mateleSs thrush his lonely meal seeks on
the rectory lawn;
The laurustlnus gins to show her white and ro-
SeaIe flowers
Sure token that have fed at last the Summers
golden hours
Black berries on the privet hang. the ash shows
clusters red,
Crown'd with a scarlet diadem King Oaks ma
jestic head;
The elms are orange, the queen beech is robed
in russet brown,
And from the graceful pendant birch dun leaves
come showering down.
Close in the furze the linnet lies, the lark's
shrill voice is mute,
No longer from the cherry-bough the blackbird
tunes his flute;
The white throat and the nightingale to sunni
er climeS have flown,
And on the berTied holly-bough the red-breast
sings alone.
All, sweet and solemn are the days that mark
the dying year,
Waking, like music, in the heart some slum-
bering memories dear
OF times gone by of friends long dead, of happy
heeting hours,
When our fond youth was one long dream of
love and joy and flowers.

The summer warm has left the sky
The summer song has died away
And, Withered in the fOOtpathS lie.
The fallen Ieaves-but yesterday
With ruby and with r.. az gay.
The grass is browning on the hills:
No pale, belated flowers recall;
The astral frfnges on the rills.
And dreariiy the dead vines fall,
Frost-blackened, from the roadsi lie wall.
Yet through the gay and somber wood,
Against the dusk of iii and pine,
Last of the floral SiSterhood,
The hazefs yellow blossoms shine
The tawny gold of Afric's mine.
Small beauty hath many unsung flower,
FOR spring to own, or summer hail;
But In the seasons Saddest hour,
1he skies that weep and winds that wall
It's glad surpriSals never tail.
Q, days grow old! o, life grows old!
No rose of June may bloom again;
But like the hazel's twisted gold,
Through early frost and latter rain,
snail hints OF summer time remain.
And as within the hazel's bough
A git OF mystic virtue dwellS,
That points to golden ores below,
And IN dry, desert places tells
Where How unseen the cool, sweet wells.
So, in the wise deviner's hand,
Be mine the hazel's grateful part,
To feel, beneath thirsty land,
The living waters thrill and start
The beating of the rivulet's heart!
Sufficeth me the gift to light,
With latest bloom the dark, cold days;
To call some hidden spring to sight,
That in these dry and dusty ways
Shall sing its pleasant song of praise.
o lovei the hazel wand may fail;
But thou canst lend surer spell,
That, passing DER Barca's vale,
Repeats the old-time miracle,
And makes the desert land a well.
