A gentleman who held responsible
position under the United States gov
ernment at Washington concluded to
change his lodgings. He sent one of
the walters of the hotel where he had
selected his apartments after his bag
gage. Meeting the waiter an hour or
two afterwards, he said "Well, John,
did you bring my baggage down 2"
No, sir !" blandly responded the waiter.
"Why-what's the reason 2" "Be-
cause, sir, the gentleman in the Office
said you had not paid your bill" "Not
paid my bili-why, that's singular-he
knew me very well when he kept the
Girard House in Philadelphia. "Well,
maybe" rejoined John, thoughtfully
scratching his head, that was the rea-
son why he wouldn't give me the bag
gage q"

A Soldier without Nerves.

A correspondent of the Manchester
On. H. Mirror thus discourses of Gen.
Stark Gen. Stark was never hilarious,
though his hospitality was sincere, and
he enjoyed his guests. It is related OF
him that he was never known to show his
emotions in word or expression of face,
an old resident averring that he was
never seen to laugh or shed O tear. On
one occasion, to test his strength OF
nerve, a townsman offered to fire a
pistol close behind his back while the
general was busy conversing. A party
in the experiment agreed to watch the
generals faco in front and report the re-
suit, and see if he were startled or not.
There was no visible alteration in his
expression or manner, but he turned
very quietly to see tho cause of the ex-
plosion. He was quite as much noted
for vlgor in the management of his farm
as In the management of troops, and
could never endure Incidence in any one
who had the strength and capacity to
labor. At the time of the arrival of the
courier bringing news of the battle of
Lexington, Stark was hard at work in
his sawmill, taking advantage of the
spring floods to finish the saving of logs
drawn in the winter then Just past.
luis mill was on Bay brook, near the
site of the dam that produces DORIS
pond, and the remains of it are still dis
cernible when the low water will admit.
Old settlers assert that the log left hal!
sawed by Stark, as he mounted his
horse to beat up recruits, was never dis
turbed afterward it decayed with the
mill in the eight long years of fighting
that ended with the surrender of Corn
wallis. Stark's integrity and economy
in government contracts and the dis
bursements connected with army sup
plies was never questioned. He sacri-
feed his private interests and the enjoy
ment Of domestic life through the Revo-
luton without any hesitation, and en-
couraged the same spirit in his sons.
He was incapable of dissimulation, and
even when blunt, rough and eccentric,
meant kindness where his manner might
belle his heart.

Story Of a Rag Baby.

Charlotte's fate was so peculiar that I
am impelled to relate it for nv baby
friends. Sitting alone with Charlotte
one day, the little child thought to feed
this dear creature, and with a pair of
scissors she dug hole in the mouth
and adjacent country, then she dragged
out cotton till the hole went far enough
below the neck to answer all the early
purposes of stomach. Into this ar
rangement was speedily crowded cold
chicken, bread and milk, baked apples
and mince pie. Charlotte never closed
her eyes for four days. On the fifth her
condition was terrible. Whenever poor
Meg appeared Juggling Charlotte, every
body politely vacated the room. Finally
the case became too outrageous, and the
trouble was chased up and landed in
Charlotte's defective fues. The baby's
father was away, so the mother one day
did her nose with clothes-pin, and
carried Charlotte by one leg and threw
her over the fence. Did this fendish
act pass unnoticed2 Far from it.
Charlotte was rescued by the vigilant
baby, and the other inmates sat outside
the house till 2oaterfan,ilias returned
and took the case in hand. He repre-
sented the complaint of Charlotte as
being too severe for treatment-her de-
fective digestion could never be reme-
died; better bury her. Rather tickled
with the prospect of shroul, the child
consented, and duly immured in a cigar
box, away went the dreadful Charlotte
to grave under pear tree.
Then the family went for month to a
neighboring city; returned in the fall
and went to church, bidding the baby
come after with a young aunt. The pas
tor had got to "miserable sinners and
there is no health in u.s." when up the
aisle, clasped to baby's bosom in low
ing embrace-still wearing the moldy
shroud and smiling more like a corpse
than ever, there came Charlotte up
the young resurrectionist jubilant
over her restored favorite.
It's SO long ago that the untimely end
of Charlotte is lost to history, but sub
jected to chloride Of lime, she held her
own for years.

A Good Counterfeit Nickel.

The smallest aud meanest of all coun-
terfeits is now circulating in great num-
bers throughout the country. 1t is a
counterfeit five. cent piece, and it is
worthless only because the counterfeit,
although it is identical in weight and
fineness with the genuine coin, and
worth just as much, is not made at the
government mint. The five-cent piece
is sham and deceit at best, for it costs
the government, including material, la.
Dor, ETC., less than half cent apiece, or
ten per cent of it's nominal value. Some
Of the counterfeits were recently sent to
the superintendent of the mint IN Phila-
delphia by the treasurer, for the pur-
pose of making inquiries and to test
their value. The superintendent says
the counterfeits have been assayed and
found to contain copper and nickel in
the legal proportion, that the coins are
of proper weight, size and finish, and
Just as valuable as the good coin.
The only way to detect the spurious
coins is by the imperfect impression of
the legend "In God we trust"

But still she held me, and would still abide
Youths bounding pulses slackened and obeyed
With slowly ebbing tide.

Beyond the changing splendors of the

strength
And slowly, sweetly. became aware
Within my arms Gods angel stood at length,

Glad to Hear 1t.

Iceland is better off than was believed.
The volcano-vomited pumice dust that
was to destroy the pastures, on the con-
trary, makes the grass grow where it
never grew before, and the islanders who
were threatened with famine are found
Aourishing on fish. We are very glad
to learn these things, as man attempted
but little to relieve the threatened want
which nature, in her own mysterious
way, removed from the sturdy people
who WOO her in her most repellant fast
nesses.
