It's Il Boy.

One evening recently the friends of
a married couple up in Chillicothe de.
termined to give them surprise par
ty: TO this end, twelve couples of
young ladies and gentlemen, with we'll
filled baskets, made their appearance
before thehOuse about,9 o'clock. AS
they came up to theAdoor they saw the
gent eman standing In the alleyway
with his oYefcOa atom, smoking cigar,
and the parlor was all lighted up. This
struck them as rather singular, but
the leader, grabbed the doc sknob, and
they crushed 'hilariously in. The gas
was burning brightly, and six 6ligni-
fed old. ladies were sitting around the
stove, looking as solemn as grand in
quisitors.
s'Oh, my where's Matte - shouted
one exuberant young lady, setting her
basket on the piano.
"She's up stairs,'' said an old lady,
looking over her spectacles with SOL
emn acrimony.
''Let's have her down. screamed
half dozen girls in chorus, as they
made break for the hall.
':Here, girls, girls, don't 60 up
there - and the old ladies made q
hasty attempt to check the proposed
raid.
"Why, what on earth's the matter
here, anyhow inquired the impa-
tient darlings. ~.
"Wen, 1 believe it's a boy
"Oh, let's ge!''
And that company Of nice young
men and women moved away like a
soap-bubble in a hurricane, and the
girls never stopped for beaux or has.

in their mouths to hold their breath

The Famous Gun, Trick.

Ashley, noted for his equestrian
theatre. is said to have begun life as
a soldier, in which capacity, when on
foreign service with his regiment, he
demonstrated his ability as coniurer,
by inventing thenow famous gun-trick.
This consists in pretending to fire a
pistol loaded with ball, and catching
the ball on the point of knife. The
explanation Of the trick is, that in the
first place the pistol is secretly loaded
only with blank cartridge. In this
harmless condition the conjurer slips
into it a tin tube, which nicely fits it.
and then ostentatiously loads it with
ball. Before firing, the tin tube is
dexterously removed, and when the
weapon is fired, no harm ensues: bv
an instantaneous maneuvre the bullet.
is triumphantly exhibited as being
caught in the required situation. It
is related that Ashley invented the
trick to save the effusion of blood at
the duel of two comrades in the Armv.
for one of whom he acted as second.
Succeeding in getting the other mans
second to assent to the ingenious de-
vice, the duelists fired at each other
without effect, and the affair was ami
cably adjusted. Very clever this.
One might, however, say with Sir Wal
ter Scott in his ''' Lay Of the Last Min

The Buddha's Answer.

There came to.the Bnddha, one day, a
woman who had lost. her only child.
She was wild with grief, and with dis
consulate cries and sobs called frantic
ally upon the prophet to give back her
little one to life. The Buddah ,gazed
ON her: long, and, with that tender
him, replied, go. my daughter, bring
me a mustard seed from-a house into
which death has never entered, and I
will do as thou hast hidden. The wo-
man took up the dead child and began
her search. She went from house to
house, saying, ':Give me a mustard
seed, kind friends, q mustard seed for
the prophet to revive my child.' And
they gave her what she desired. And
when she had taken it she inquired !:
''They are all gathered around the
hearth here. father, mother, and the
children; is it not. so? They are sound
in health's bloom?'' But the people
would shake their heads mournfully.
And far as she wandered, through
town and village, in the crowded thor
oughfare and by the lonely roadside,
she met the same experience still.
There was ever a vacant seat by the
hearth though all were gathered.
Then gradually, as she went on, the
outbursts of her grief abated, and the
meaning of the Buddah S words dawned
upon her mind. Gradually, as she
learned to know the great SORROW OF
the race everywhere around her, her
heart, ceasing to dwell on it's own
selfish pang, went out in strong yearn-
ing to the companions Of her suffer-
ing.
The tears of her pity fell free and
fast, passion slowly melted away in
compassion. From passive suffering
she turned to active helping, sought
redemption by redeeming. She had
learned the highest virtue which the
Buddha taught, maitri, the conscious
ness of wide fellowship, the love of
mankind, the perfect remuneration Of
self in behalf OF the eternal interests.
Calm, answering self-control to avoid
pain, acts of sympathy to tighten pain !;
such was the Buddha's answer to the
great question of the origin and de-
struction of suffering. These were the
two solid pillars of his church. If he
had paused there he would have exhi-
bited to the world an example of COM
bined sOberness and enthusiastic ideal
ism nowhere transcribed in human
history. But his faith in the doctrine
of the transmigration compelled him
to pass the limits which his strong
ethical sentiment seemed to prescribe,
into nebulous beyond. This present
life of ours is but a link in the great
chain of existence. Of what advantage
is it, thern, to destroy the suffering
of to-day, if, in the ceaseless cycle Of
new births, that suffering is destined
endlessly to recur? TO be true de-
liverer, the prophet said, must, free
men from the fear of resurrection,
teach them to battle fate. With the
end of existence alone can come the
end of pain. Hence arose the mystic
doctrine of Nirvana-the third of the
great principles on which the Buddhist
system rests.

Sandy =, Ss4..H -.
He took the first opportunity after
supper to slip out and away from Linn.
Der Tim; and there in the dark, with
his face to the great black forrest, he
stood saying over and over to himself,
in his great coarse voice, trying to
catch the soft tones of the widow,
''You are such good company
That evening Timber Tim leaned up
against the logs of the Howling Will
derness and told all that had happened
and how Sandy had seen the widow,
how he sat in her cabin, how he ha6
called and how she had smiled, and
what a very hero his pardner had be-
come. He told Of Washee- W ashee.
The story of Washee7Washee went
through the forks; and then the next
morning the forks went through Wa
shee-W ashee., -.
Perhaps it was what the widow had
said about 'tpoor, little, helpless, harm
less man" that saved him but certain
it was. for some unknown reason, the
miners dealt gently with the strange
little stranger. Had this been one or
even a dozen of their own kind, some
tree in the neighborhood Of the forks
would have born in less than an hour
one or even a dozen strange and ugly
fruit. They went to Washee- Washee's
cabin. He. smiled as he saw. them APP
