A WORD TO TALE-BEARERs.

They sdy-ah well, suppose they do,
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicious may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the "they,"
Who whisper what they dare not say.
They sdy-but why the tale rehearse,
knd help to make the matter worse?
n o good can possibly accrue
For telling what may be untrue;
And is IL not nobler plan
L o speak of all the best you can.
They soy-well if it should be 80,
Why need you tell the tale of woe?
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make ore pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to "go an6 sin no more ?"
They Sdy-Oh pause and look within
See how thy heart inclines to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour,
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power
Pity the frail, weep Ger their fail,
But speak of good, or not at all.

Pierre Denisart. forty seven years Of age;
was taken to the hospital in Paris the other
day, suffering from strange Llalady.
About two weeks previous he was attacked
by sudden pains in his nose. and three days
later be noticed to his horror that his nose
was growing longer. The pain continues,
and the nose is still growing. 1t has al.
ready grown more than an inch. The sad
dest part of the story is that Denisart has
a very handsome head. and has heretofore
made his living as model. He viii now
be obliged to support himself by exhibiting
his nose. If Denisart's nose continues
growing at the same rate. that is. about an
inch in ten days. it wll touch the ground

Does REMoRsE.-The following in
teresting letter is published in the London
Spectator:
''Being accustomed to walk out before
breakfast with two sky terriers, it was MY
custom to wash their feet daily in tub,
kept for the purpose in the garden, when-
ever the weather was wet. One morning.
when l took up the dog to carry him to the
tub, he bit me so severely that was obliged
to let him go. No sooner was the dog at
liberty than he ran down to the kitchen and
hid himself For three days he refused
food, declined to go out with any of the
family, and appeared very detected, with
distressed and unusual expression of
countenance.
''On the third morning, however, upon
returning with the other dog, l found him
sitting by the tub, and upon coming to>
wards him, he Immediately jumped into it
and sat down in the water. After pretend
ing to wash hislegs, he jumped out as happy
as possible, and from that moment recover
ed his usual spirits.
"There appears in this instance to have
oee" oio'i process ol reasoning, accom-
panied by acute feeling, going on in the
dogs mind from the moment he bit me
until he hit upon plan of showing his re>
gret and making reparation for his ia ult.
1t tevidently occurred to him that attached
great importance to this foot>bath, and if
he could convince me that his contrition was
sincere, and that ne was willing to submit
to the process without a murmur, should
be satisfied. The dog, in this case, rea,
soned with perfect accuracy, and from his
own premises deduced Legitimate conclu>
sion which the result justified"

a FULTON young man who was visiting
abroad came home Saturday, and in the
morning at breakfast remarked, as he reach-
ed his plate over, "Father, little of the
mixture in the brown dish, if you please,
and a small piece of the prepared meat"
The old gentleman, who is a plain, matter
of-fact man, replied, as he loaded up the
outstretched plate, eve like to have YOU
come visitin' us, John, but just remember
that while you're eatin' here, if you want
hash, say SO andif you want sausage, call
for sausage, and do not go to spreadin' ON
any Brooklyn misery at my table.''-Fuk

NEWSPAPER GRATUITfEs.-If there is
any branch of business that suffers more
from mendicancy than another it is that of
publishing a newspaper. An exchange
truthfully remarks that perhaps the worst
popular faliacy with regard to newspapers
is that generally entertained that they
ought to be printed and Published in the
interest of the community--particula
the INDECENT portion of the community.
Churches, poorhouses, asylums and all
sorts of charitable enterprises run to the
newspapers for gratuities, as child runs
to its mother for help. Politicians, Office
seekers and scallawags generally count on
the unpaid support of newspapers. Now
newspaper, to be worth anything as bust
ness enterprise, should be printed in the in
terest of it's proprietor-just as much as
merchant should run his business in his
own interest alone. The composition Tor
type-setting) on political and religious no
tices printed gratuitously cost us hundreds
of dollars a year. And what is the return
that is made to the publisher? Why, the
abuse of selfish politicians who use his
paper as the ladder on which they and their
friends climb into office. and the reques. of
clergymen to put them on the list of dead
heads of his journal. The tradesmen,
mechanics and laborers of the community
sustain the newspaper. These are entitled
to favors at the hands of the publisher if
any body is.

THE following story is very good but
rather apocryphal: A young man ont
West was counting petty girl, but her
mother would not permit him to stay after
ten O'Clock, greatly to his and her daugh-
ter's disgust. Last New Years day that
young man presented the old lady with a
patent clock of grea. beauty and ingenuity.
The prospective mether-in-law was greatly
pleased, and gave her old ticker to poor
woman who lived in the neighborhood.
Now that young couple are happy, for this
new clock is so constructed that it will lose
three hours between eight and ten in the
evening, and make it up all right before
morning. The old lady watches the clock
carefully and cries, ''Ahem p' as usual
when it gets to be ten. And yet, she says,
she can't understand what makes her get
so sleepy before ten. and hate to get up So
bad the next morning.

Then negro, black as night, and young
and vigorous, who was one of the first to
begin the dance, and last to cease, took
iron spikes, and hammered them with a
stone into his body; one being driven in
just above the collar bone, one in the alb
domen, and one in the right leg, blood
flowing freely from all the wounds. He
finally tainted while dancing, perhaps moro
from loss of blood than fatigue.
HORRIBLE.
Another one, who had very much the
appearance of a blacksmith, took bar of
iron about two feet in length, small at one
end, and having a wheel on the other,
with handle in the centre of the bar,
through which the bar revolved. He
worked the wheel up to a very rapid revo-
luton, and then placed the sharp point of
the bar into the side of his eye next to
the nose, and gouged the eye out of its
socket; he took the eye in his hand and
held it at least six inches from his face :;
and after dancing and yelling for few
seconds, he replaced the eye in the socket.
He ended his performance by dancing
around the court, butting his head severely
against each of the stone pillars, and then
tearing out his hair by handfuls.
There were three ladies in our party.
Up to this time, by hiding their faces at
tie worst parts Of the performances, they
had managed to keep up; but two of them
suddenly tainted. We carried them out
into the street, and they were soon resus-
citated, but nc amount of persuasion could
induce them 20 return.

THE GOLD FISH TRICK.

Several of the mapicians who nerform in
public do what they call the goldfish
trick" The juggler stands upon the stage.
throws handkerchief over his extended
arm, and produces in succession three or
four shallow glass dishes filled to the brim
with water, in which live gold fish are
: swimming. Of course the dishes are con-
cealed somehow upon the person or per-
former.
Peter Lamb, the young fellow who lives
near me, discovered how the trick was
done, and he offered to do it, the other
night, at Magruder's party, for the enter
tainment of the company. So the folks
all gathered in one end of the parlor. and
In a few moments Lamb entered the door
at the other end. He said
'Ladies and gentlemen, you will per-
ceive that | have nothing about me excep.
my ordinary clothing, and yet | shall pro-
duce presently two dishes filed with
, water and living fish. Please watch me
narrowly"
Then Peter flung the handkerchief over
his hand and arm, and we could see that
he was working away vigorously a. some
thing beneath it. He continued for some
moments, and stiI the goldfish did not
appear. Then he began to get very red in
the face, and we saw that something was the
matter. Then the perspiration began TO
stand on Peters forehead, and Mrs. Magru-
der asked him if he was well. Then the
company laughed, and the magician grew

that handkerchief, and apparently trying to
reach around under his coat-tails. Then
we heard something snap, anG the next
moment quart of water ran down the
wizards left leg, and spread out over the
carpet. By this time he looked as if the
! grave would be a welcome refuge. But
still he continued to feel around under his
handkerchief At last another snap was
heard, and another quart of water plunged
down his right leg, and formed pool
about his shoe. Then the necromancer
hurriedly said that the experiment had
failed somehow, and he darted into the
dining room. / followed him, and found
him sitting on the sofa, trying to remove
his pantaloons. He exclaimed
so, grecions J Come here, quick, and
pull these off! They're soakin' wet, and
I've got fifteen live goldfish inside my
drawers flippin' around an raspin' the skin
with their fins enough TO set man crazy
Ouch o, Moses! Hurry that shoe off,
and grab that fish there at my left knee, ol
I'll have to howl right out -
Then we undressed him and picked the
fish out of his clothes, and I discovered
that he had two dishes full of water and
covered with india-rubber tops strapped
inside his trowsers behind. In his strug
giles to get at them he had torn the cover
to rags. We fixed hin up pair of Magru
der's trowsers, which were six inches toe
short for him, and then he climbed ovel
the back fence and went home. He says.

tions in public he intends to confine him.
