bcamcd forth with, "Don't put on

Waterhouse, he related d dream,
which he had had a few igh.s be-
fore. In his dream he went t6
Heaven; and his picture of the
golden streets, the rivers of shining
water, the scraphic choir, and SO
forth, was Interestingly vivid.
When he had concluded, Rev. Mr..
G.--.from Fulton county, man
notorious for his money grabbing
and pcnurious habits-approached
and said in tone Of coarse jocular-
ity.
"Well, brother Waterhouse, dill
you see any of Us in your dream!"
"Yes, brother -, saw You"
"Ah =, And what was | doing!
"You were on your knees"
"Of course-praying"
"No; you were trying TO dig up
the golden pavcmcnts Of the new
Jerusalem !"

Among the other pleasant occa-
sions which mark the holidays, tho
friends of b. d M. baggage-man
presented him with patent trunk
litter. 1t is made of steel and
brass. Two clamps catch the trunk
at either end, and the turn of n
knob in the hand of the baggage
man, pulls both straps out 10y the
roots, while, at the same time, an
iron ball, weighing nine pounds,
hammers away at the bottom of
the trunk, and neat, hree-jointed
self-acting rake, with twelve teeth,
reaches in as quick as hole is
made, and sweeps from end to end
of the trunk, finally emerging
through the lid, where it clinches,
and by a sudden jerk backward
turns the trunk inside out. No
baggage-man should be without it.

The prudence of the simplest
New England man when present
or prospective thrift is in question
is proveabial. Example: A Har-
ward Professor went down to one
of the beaches on the New England
coast to battle one stormy day, but
the men ia charge refused to let
him 60 in on account Of tho dan
gerous swell. On his way back ha
expressed his disappointment and
Indignation to the driver of tho
omnibus. "Well, III tell you how
it is" said the driver; 1--WE don't
like to have strangers como down
here and get drowned. 1t hurts tho
beach,"

Sandy. "Some Texan horse thief

Just then a wild war whoop was

'ak logs and our camp equipage,

At wedding in town not many
days ago the organist did not ar
rive at the church until just as the
benediction was pronounced. Hur-
rying and stumbling up into the
organ loft he sat down before the
instrument and in his demoralized
mental condition commenced play
irg dirge under the impression,
probably, that he was officiating
at funeral. The brides big bro
tier was seen to rush up the gallery
stairs in great state of excite
ment. The judge remarked in
court, the next day, that although
the provocation was sufficient TO
merit strong remonstrance, tho
prisoner was not justified in beat
ing the organist as he did. Twenty

gloomily, as the dawn began spread

longed complication of hideous yells

Of savage conflict resoundcd on

Wolford swung bis hat, gave
vent to a succession of short, quick
yelps, and leveling his rifle, brought

Wolford tumbled no less than three.
The conflict was brief. Their line
gave way at all points, and those
who were not shot down broke for

"Why, they're fighting among

ously participated, was soon over.
We were saved, and / was in
lighthened. For years and years
the buffalo grounds of that vicin-
ity had been a matter of sanguinary
dispute between the rival tribes
of Arapahoes and Osagcs. A war
party of the latter had heard the
fighting the evening previous, and
had hastened to the rescue from
mere motives of clanish malignance.
They preserved us from destruc-
ton, however, and they treated us
as allies.
We never found Sandy's body ;
we buried Joe as decently as pos
sible, and never again prospected
for gold along the Little Arkansas. !

Reproduction of Old Thoughts.

Nothing is more strange than the
incessant reproduction of old
thoughts under the guise of ad-
vanced Opinions. 1t would seem
rs if the human mind with all its
restless activity were destined to
revolve in an endless circle. It's
progress is marked by many changes
and discoveries; it sees and I'M
derstands far more clearly the
facts that lie along the line Of it,
route, and the modes or laws un-
der which those facts occur: but
this route in its higher levels al
ways returns upon itself. Nature
and all its secrets become better
known, and the powers of nature
are brought more under human
control; but the sources Of nature
and life and thought--all the nj.
innate problems of being--never
become more clearly ineligible
Not only So, but the last efforts OF
human reasoning on these subjects
arc even as the first. Differing in
form, and even sometimes not
greatly In form, they are in sub
stance the same. Bold as the
course of scientific adventure has
seemed for a time, it ends very
much as it began; and men of
the nineteenth century look over
the same abysses of speculation as
did their forefathers thousands of
years before. No philosophy OF
theism can be said to have advanc-
ed beyond the book OF Job; and
Prof. Tyndall, addressing the
world from the throne Of modern
science-which the chair of the
British association ought to be-
repeats the thoughts Of Democri-
tus and Epicnrus, as the last guess
cs of the modern scientific mind.
