DEATH OF 4 REFORM Err.

Mr.. Trask, the well known anti-tobacco
apostle, died at Fitchburg, Mass, re-
Gently at the age of seventy-nine. Mr..
Trask's long and active life was spent il
the ministry of the Baptist Church, but
he is more widely known in connection
with the work of the Anti-Tobacco AssO-
citation, of which for many years he has
been the chief head and front. In an
photographic sketch of his life, con-
tributed to the PhrenOlOgica{ Journal,
he tells how he had been a victim of to-
bacco for twenty years, and had become
"emaciated. tremulous and ~cOwardly,"
and was at the gates OF death. Abandon
ing the ~noxious poison, he regained his
former health, which he enjoyed
throughout an unusually long and vigor-
Gus life. He wrote an immense number
of tracts denouncing the use of tobacco
and alcoholic drinks, and lectured in
cessantly on the subject.

THE SHEEP.

This animal is one of the seven won
ders of the world, cause it's hair is wool,
but not cotton wool. If there wasn't no
Sleeps their wouldn't be no wool, except
jest a little on the hedges, which the
birds makes nests of, and if there wasn't
no wool were would this cote ben So
you see we all ware second-ha close,
which we gifts from the Sleeps.
The he Sleeps is call rams, and the
little sleeps is call lambs, and the she
Sleeps is q you They is all made of
board and close, but some folks likes
beefs better to eat. Wen a sheep has
been sheered he don't look the same.
My father had a sheep wich was sheerd,
and when it was sheerd it was so ashamed
it blusht red, Jest like my sister. 1t had
a little iabm, and when the labm come
to suck it run mp with its eyes shut as
they always does, but when it got done,
and lookt wot it was about it KEEP a back
III Oh dIu llOuuIu us ueu llhe Sayuu l.
beg your pardin, it was my mistake and
that labm had to be brot up by hand.
Sleeps is very playfe Wen they are
young, but not so much as kittens.
When the son shines worm in the spring
they turns out and has a good time on
the grass, like a sirsuc, Bill says, but no
music and no ephelant. Once Isaw a old
coy wich was a watching a labm wich
was a-goin it. Then the ole cow stuck
ont her tale stiff, and give a jump up,
and came down with her legs strate like
stills. Then the lamb stopt still and
lookt Mt her, and then it walked all the
way round her, a-lookin at her all over,
and then it went strate way III a other
tiel out of the ole COW, and begun to go
it agin.
My uncle Ned says the Skanny
navous had a god wich could hear the
wool a CROWN on the back of the
Sleeps, but wot good did it do him if
he couldn't stop it? 1 s'spose he wasn't
a real, live, SUR enough god, but just
somebody Tide.
Rams is great buffers, and their horns
would be good shell for a big snale.

CATS.

"Come, a%untie, please put down your
work and tell me a story"
"What shall it be about, Bess::'
"Pussy," said the child, as she strOked
her only little kitten.
"Well, then, once long ago there
lived i'll Italy a cat by the name OF Nina.
Her mistress was a young girl who was
subject to commissions. Whenever Nina
saw an attack coming on she would run
to the girls mother and pull her dress
until she followed. At length the girl
died, and puss went to the funeral. She
cried to jump into the grave, but they
caught her just in time. After that she
pinned and pinned, until IL cold day they
found her dead on her mistresss
green mound. There. that is a true
story"
"That was real nice, auntie ; do tell me
another"
"IU tell you one," said Uncle Jack,
just then coming i'll.
GA fine gentleman, called Archbishop
of laramie, had such a passion for cats
that he always seated several with him at
his dmner-table, and never excluded
them, even when he had company.
They were trained to sit quietly on their
chairs until they were helped, and were
called by fanciful names. One day some
chaplains were dining with the Arch
bishop, and he requested Ii of the WIS.,
itors to serve the Lady Desdemona, us
he called her. The butler, on hearing it,
called ont, The Lady Desdemona will
prefer waiting for the roast Cats were
held in great veneration by the Egyp-
tians. The owner Of a cat mourned for
its death, and any one who killed a cat,
even by accident, was liable to be shot.
In Damascus there was a hospital for
cats, which wa always full"

4 Morning Dream.

A poor old man died on one bitter cold day,
And directly to Paradise wenied his way;
Saint Peter he met-tis a dream l relate
With his great shining keys. keeping ward at the
gate.
Now. while standing here, with the apostle conver.-
ing,
The events of his journey to heaven rehearsing,
He sees a rich townslnan-the gate ia ajar-
Slip quietly by them and in through the oar.
He Listens; he hears paals ~ music arise
To welcome this man to his home III the skies;
But on entering himself, though bright Visions fill
His fancy with rapture, al! is silent and still.
8. How is this turning back ~ st. Peter, his
guide;
In accents of wonder the poor man then cried;

PITRIDTIC GRING Err.

Col. T. J. Smith, the Grand Master of
the Georgia Changers, presided owe the
recent session in Macon, dressed through
out in Georgia fabrics, and manufactured
at home. His coat, vest and pants were
of Georgia jeans of q beautiful gray,
made at home, and as neat and jaunty a
suit as any man may desire. Indeed his
trim apparel attracted our attention be-
fore he spoke of it. His shoes We're also
made at home of Georgia leather. As to
the hat, he had to give in there, for hats
are not made in Georgia, unless it be
summer hats of straw or palmetto. HIS
good wife, the Ceres Of the State Grange,
also took her official position in the lodge
dressed entirely in homemade apparel
