The bostonians are making resolute
effort to solve the problem of cheap and
direct transp ortation from the West to
the New England metropolis, through
the Hoosac tunnel. A bill is now befora
the Massachusetts, Legislature for the in
corporation of company to secure by
purchase, lease and other arrangements
series of existing railroads which it ia
said constitute Il pretty direct line Of
communication between Boston and Oh,
cago, and to consolidate them in a grand
trunk line. In order to perfect ..
through direct line to Chicago, ultimate
ly contemplated, only forty miles Of new
railroad will have to be built. The
State owns the Hoosac tunnel. Amono
the reads designed to be purchased are
the Fitchburg, Vermont and Massachu-
sets, and Massachusetts Central. It is
proposed that the State shall guarantee
six per cent dividends on the stock of
the company, and that it may have ab-
so'ute ownership in twenty-five years.
The scheme is backed up by a large
number Of the sagacious, practical,

MISCELLANEOUS,
She would CIuck.

They have had more trouble in our
Methodist Westinghouse. Last Sun
day, Rev. Mr.. Moody was just begin.
ming his sermon, and had uttered the
words. Brethren, I wish to direct
your attention this morning to the
18th verse Of the twelfth chapter of St.
-" when Il hen emerged from the re-
cess beneath the pnlrit. As she had
just laid an egg, she interrupted MIR.
Moody to announce the fact to the con.
gregation; and she stopped short as she
walked out into the aisle, screeching:
Observation-Disclosures! Kuk-kuk.
kuk- kuk-te-ko!' Mr.. Moody contem.
plated her for moment, and then con.
cluded to 20 on; but the sound of his
voice seemed to provoke her to rivalry,
and 50 she put on pressure Of FIVE OF
six pounds to the square inch, and
made such racket that the preacher
stopped again, and said:
: Will Deacon Grimes please remove
that disgraccful chicken from the meet.

The Model Rooster.
BY MAX ADLER.

"Most chickens are kinder stupid;
but what I like about him is, that he is
sympathetic; he has feeling. 1 know
last fall that my shanghai hen was
taken sick while she was trying to
hatch out some eggs, and that rooster
was so compassionate that he used to
60 in, and set on that nest for hours
trying to help her out so that she could
60 out recreating after exercise. And
when she died he turned right in and
took charge of things; seemed to feel
that he ought to be father to those
unborn little orphans, and he straddled
around over those eggs for ever so long
as graceful! He never got much salts
faction out of it though. Most of 'em
were ducks eggs, and it seemed to
kinder cut him up when he looked at
those birds after they Matched out. He
took it to heart and appeared to feel
low spirited and afflicted. He would 90
Oft and stand by himself-stand on one
leg in the corner of the fence and let
his mind brood over his troubles until
you'd pity him, it disguised him to
think how The job turned out.
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-05-18

The deacon rose and proceeded with
the task. He first tried to drive her
toward the door, but she lodged him,
and, still clucking vigorously, got under
the seat in the front pew. Then the
deacon seized his umbrella and scooped
her out into the aisle again, after which
he tried to "shoo" her toward the
door; but she darted into q pew,
hoped over the partition, came down
in the opposite pew, and in the side
aisle, making noise like steam plan
ing-mill. The deacon didn't like to
climb over after her, so he went around
and just as he got into the side aisle the
hen flew over the middle aisle again.
then the boys in the gallery laughed and
the deacon began to grow red in the
face.
At last Mr.. Binns came out of his
pew to help, and as both he and the
deacon made q dash at the chicken
from opposite directions she flew up
with a wild cluck to the gallery and
perched on the edge, while she gave
excited expression to her views by emit
ting about five hundred clucks minute.
The deacon flung hymn-book at her to
scare her down again, but he missed
her and hit Billy Jones, a Sunday
school scholar in the eye. Then anoth-
er boy in the gallery made dash at
her, and reached so far over that he
tumbled and fell on Mrs. Miskey's
spring bonnet, whereupon she said out
loud that he was predestined to the gal
lows. The crash scared the hen and
she flew over and roasted on the stove
pipe that ran along just under the CELL
ing, fairly bowling with fright. In or
der to bring her down the deacon and
Mr.. B;nns both beat on the lower part
Of the pipe with their umbrellas, and
at the fifth or sixth knock the pipe sep
arated and about forty feet of it came
down with a crash, emptying a barrel
or two Of SCOT over the congregation.
There were women in that congregation
who went home looking as if they had
been working in a coal mine, and wish
ing they could stab Deacon Grimes
without being hung for murde.. The
hen came down with the stove-pipe, and
as she few by Mr.. Binns he made a
dash at her with his umbrella and
knocked her clear through fifteen dol
lar pane Of glass, whereepon she landed
in the street and hoped of clucking
insanely. Then Mr.. Moody adjourned
the congregation. They are going to
expel the owner Of that heE from
church when they discover his identity.

Self-knowledge, which not only may,
but ought to be attained by all, is the
stern artist that should alone be en-
ployed to linn the ideal which we seek
to accomplish. There is no safety in
the imaginings or creations of any other.
Incongruities, decisions, shams, the
bitterness of inglorious failure, or the
hollowness of still more inglorious sue
cess, attend other mlnistrations. 1t is
only such self-knowledge that gives US
the right to command the stubborn
fate that interposes to prevent the frui-
ton of our hopes. There is therefore
no more pressing obligation upon any
of us than that of such an introspec-
ton as will enable US to estimate our
capabilities, and correctly mark out the
boundaries of our undertakings.
Because some positions and occupa-
tions are attended and followed by
greater responsibilities and more far
reaching results, such positions and oc-
equations call more imperatively for
such careful study and introspection.
While those whose work concerns only
themselves, if such cases can be imag-
ined, may neglect this matter without
specially interesting the general public,
or seriously affecting it's welfare, the
case is essentially different when 1t is
question Of those who are engaged in
the public capacity. More than this.
there is such relation between the va
rious occupations and this self-knowl-
edge aud introspection, that the obliga-
ton which may be called the duty Of
success increases as the calling or obi
CATION ascends from tbs selfish to the
philanthropic.
If there is any occupation Of which
these things are absolutely true, it is the
teachers.

When we pour milk into a cup OF
tea or coffee, the albumen Of the milk
and the tanning of the tea in
stantly unite and form leather OF
minute flakes of the same compound
which is produced in the texture OF
the tanned hide, and which makes
it leather as distinguished from the
original skin. In the course of a
year a tea-drinker If average hab-
its will have imbibed leather enough
to make a pair of shoes if it could
be put into the proper shape for the
purpose.
