ought to wish, and what you wish il
sure to come t-ue.n
SIS It, Tom ?" replied the girl, with
q wistful, trustful look in her eyes
that made him draw her still closer to
him. "DO you know 1 have watched
for the new moon and wished regular

months past ?n
"And what was your wish, Polly ?u
inquired Tom archIy. II think he
knew, although be pretended to De
quite ignorant
"Oh, IL / were to tell you now the
charm might fail. Ask me, dear,
when the next new moon comes, and
perhaps I'll tell you my wish"
Inen, darling, We shall be man
and wife," His voice sank to a
whisper, bnt II reached her ears, and
when the words ceased her head had
sunk upon his shoulder. The fire in
the CRATE had died away the candle
upon the table fickered. and at length
went out; but with its last ray il
showed the old man rapt In the con.
temptation OF his precious relic, and
the two loyers-One in heart-still
gazing upon the peaceful splendor of
the stAr-checked T7Ps-

Betting on Elections.

Before election we preached q seq
mon on the folly OF betting on elec-
tions. After election We add to 1t
that there Is more sense, more moral
ity and as much respect for law in 3
square game Of poker as in an election
bet. The man vino sits down to the
card table and stakes his money on
his hand Of cards is presumed to un-
derstAnd the game, know the value Of
the cards he draws and be able to play
his hand for what 1t is worth. He
has some show OF getting even with
the game and shows vastly more
sense in thus riskiug mis- money than
the man who chances his money on
the decision Of sovereign voters who
in five cases out Of ten vote without re-
gard to principles or knowledge OF the
issues at stake between the parties and
who can be Influenced by the devices
and tricks Of politicians or the wordy
eloQuenee OF political orators. We
advise no man TO gamble. On the
contrary we urge every man to avoid
the card table, and every man to teach
his sOns by precept and example, to
shun games Of chance, but, Of the two,
card playing for money and betting
on elections, we prefer the former as
the more sensible, more lawful and
more certain Of fair returns.-SdR-

Wild PIgeOns-MIIlIOns Of these Fast
Flyers In One FlOeE.


Pigeons have come into this part OF
the country by millions. OF even
Z ings the sky is darkened with them
In the neighbOrhoOd of DR.. DOdsOn's,
on the Auglaize. They have made
DOdsOn's farm their headquarters, and
OF nights the trees and under0rush
are loaded down with vast muItitudes
Of pigeons. As this rOOst is pat a
short distance from our residences, We
have an ample oppOrtuni Y tO watch
their maneuvers, and to hear the in-
eessant noise they make. A little be-
fore sundOwn large armies of pigeons
are seen coming from different points
Of the compass, but each army passes
onward as il they intended 10 chsage
their roOsting-place. After q while
they return. and settle on the trees
around tue roost, not many Of them
nearer than 3 mile Of the place. They
make sudden flights from these trees,
and the sound Of their wings Is like
that Of great storm. There Is Q con-
slant roaring in the air as myrisds Of
these birds fly to and fro. About dark
they ny toward tue roost, and for
long time they fly round and round,
and have the appearance OF bees
sWsrmiEg, although the vast number
and the tOrnadO-like roaring they
make surpasses anything in the paw
er OF man TO describe. After . while
they alight on the trees and bushes,
and the limbs, are bent downward,
often are broken of The pigeons
keep up q constant chatterinx with
their mouths, which can be heard for
rrTfIau = a.
that they try to 70 1st. Tney are new
er still during the night. 80 far as
sleep is concerned, such thing Is out
OF the question with q pigeon. They
are disturbed by athemselves-Such
thr0ngs assembling in q spot that
none can be still for = moment, and
the incessant disehargiDg Of firezrms
among them causes them to change
their location almost constantly.
This roo5t Is visited every night by
crowds OF men, some with guns and
others with poles, which they use in
thrashing the pigeons that happen to
be st the point struck. Hundreds are
killed every night; but when day
light again appears, the vast armies
again 60 forth with apparently as
much vigor as ever. Pigeons have
been killed in New York with undi-
gested rice in their craws, which they
had evidently gathered in the rice
fields IN the CaFolinas. From these
and other circumstances it has been
estimated that pigeon flies at the
rate OF = mile q minute. Imagine,
then, millions upon millions Of these
birds on the wing at the same time
over q scope Of country not more than
two miles square, aud faint idea Of
the noise they make can be obtained.
But no one can fully imagine what
pigeon roOst is, or how much noise
they make, unless one Is seen and
heard.
There is an abundance OF mast here
now, and We suppose the pigeons will
remain here until It Is all gone. One
circumstance we almost forgot to re-
late. In the neighborhoOd Of this
pigeon TOOst we never see 3 pigeon
from the time they lesve Of mornings
until hey return Of evenings. They
are not eating the mast here at all,
but somewhere they are feastiBg lux
uriantly, for they are all fat.

There will be q general sale OF all
the buildings belonging to the Gen.
tennial Board OF Finance on Tuesday,
November 30th, at IL O'Clock A. NJ
Tne list comprises the Main Building
and carriage annex, Agricultural
Hal, with wagon and pOmoIogical
annexes, the art annex, PhotoRraph-
ers' Exhibition building, Shoe and
Leather buildings, Judges Hall, But
ter and Cheese building, guard, sta
tiOn-hOuse, snd various other small
buildings. Particulars OF the sale
will be furnished in pamphlet form,
on application, ten days before the
appointed time. The sale was author
lied by the Board Of Finance At its
session on Monday.
The expectation that most of the
State buildings on the ground would
be presented to the city at the close of
the Exhibition will probably prove
not well founded, as with only one
exception they are frame, and, aside
from the danger Of fire, the eontinu-
Gus expense in painting and repairing
would soon equal the original cost OF
the structures, thus detraetInR from
their actual value for PARK purposes.
The Ohio State building, however,
unlike the rest, was erected almost
entirely Of stone, and has been
50 substantially built that IL
will for years preserve ita pres
ent appearance - an ornament.
The original Intention was to present
this structure to the city, and, at re-
cent meetings OF the Ohio State B lard
the subject Of its transfer to the ParK
Com missIOners has been considered.
Though no definite action has been
taken In the matter, lt Is probable
that some arrangement satisfactory
to both the donors and the recipients
VIII be made at an early day. The
German pavilion, . substantially
built structure, may also In due time
become the property Of the city, a.
the German Com nisslOnsfs generally
favor the project OF presenting it 10
the PARK CommissiOn. A member OF
the Commission some ticae since
wrote TO the Minister OF Foreign AZ
fairs at Berlin for instructions In re-
gard to the proposed transfer, and an
answer favorable to the plan OF per
mitting 1t to remain permanent.
ly Is confidently expected. So far
as at present known, It seems
likely that the other minor buildings
will be sold to the highest bidder or
be disposed Of at private sale at the
close OF the exhibition. Purchasers for
many Of them are numerous, and
fair prices will doubtless be obtained.
