A Horse Story.

A Portland paper, printed in Port
land, Maine, is responsible for the fol-
lowing story:
CDR. J. I. Gillman's mare, Fannie,
is an equine of unusual intelligence.
A day or two since, while the doctor
was visiting a patient, the horse was
left in the yard, as usual, without be-
ing fastened. After the doctor went
into the house, Fanny walked up the
walk and began brousing a rose bush.
The servant girl came out and spoke
to her, and she turned and walked
back to the door. In a few moments
the horse returned again, and began
to whinuie and stamp on the door
step. The girl came out again, and
was surprised to see Fanny running
out her tongue at her, and acting
strangely. The organ protruded its
entire length, and was kept exposed
with determination worthy of a
patient undergoing examination by a
physician. The girl finally examin-
ed the member, and found thorn
from the rose bush had got uncom-
fortably fastened to it. She remov-
ed it, when the thankful animal made
profound bow, and went back and
stood quietly by the door until the
doctor had completed his call"
1t is now stated that later in the
day the mare called at Stinson's art
establishment, and, seeing beautiful
ten cent chrome, entitled "Thanks,"
hanging in a neat frame by the door,
seized it, and bearing it proudly
home, called out the servant girl a
second time, and delivered to her the
treasure as a token of grateful regard
His head was bowed upon his hands
and his giant frame was shaken by
some strong emotion. The pig had
escaped from him, and the spectators
with uncovered heads, respected hi
disappointment. At last he looked
up, wiped the perspiration from hi
brow, and invited his twin brother t.
guess this conundrum: "Say, Gideon
is a tail that is wrung anything like
tale that is told?"

KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP.

There has something gone wrong
My brave boy, 1t appears,
For l see your brave struggle
To keep back the tears.
That's right. when you cannot
Give trouble the slip,
Then bear it, still keeping
"A stiff upper lip"
Though you cannot escape
Disappointment and care,
The next best thing to do,
Is to learn how to bear.
Ifwhen for life's prizes
You're running, you trip,
Get up-start again,
keep a stiff upper lip!"
Let your hands and your conscience
Be honest and clean;
Scorn to touch or to think OF
The thing that is mean.
But hold ON to the pure
And the right with firm grip;
Aud though hard be the task,
keep stiff upper lipi"
Through childhood, through manhood,
Through life to the end,
Struggle bravely and stand
BY your cOlors, my friend,
Only yield when you must,
Never "give up the ship
But fight on to the last,
With "a stiff upper lip

Ov course the meetin wuz broken

WITCH would like to be Postmaster
Tom Shaw, Chambermaid.
New Orleans Times,

New Orleans Times.
It is rare occurrence for man
to don feminine gear and tor years
carry out the deception, yet such a
case was discovered at the Charity
Hospital last week, which doubt
less will occasion embarrassment to
many ladies who, during their travels
on our river palaces, have been wait
ed on by Tom, alias Esther Shaw,
chaimbermaid. Shaw is a medium
sized, delicate looking mu!atto, about
thirty years of age, with few scat
tered hairs on his lip and chin, not
any more than large proportion of
creole negroes or sufficient to betray
his sex. Neatly dressed in calico,
checked apron and sun bonet, with
hair arranged in the most approved
fashion, ears ornamented with gold
pendants, plain gold ring on the
wedding finger of his left hand
Shaw, late on the evening of the IA
inst, entered the clerks Office at the
hospital and in a feeble voice stated
that he was ill. Captain A. johnson,
without hesitancy, and with no suspi-
cion of the applicant being other than
appearances indicated-a woman
ticketed Shaw for the female ward,
to which place he was duly escorted.
That night he was visited and his
case diagnosed as scurvy and gen
eral debility, prescription given
and Shaw still occupied his place in
the female ward. The next day,
however, the student happened to
make his rounds little earlier than
usual, and feeling an interest IN his
patient, approached Shaw's bedside.
Shaw was asleep and only partially
covered; in astonishment the student
paused; did his eyes deceive him
Shaw's stocking had worked down
revealing leg covered with coarse
black hair. 1t was one, two, three,
bounce, and Shaw was III the inspec-
ting room, where the question of his
sex was ascertained beyond peradven-
ture, Notwithstanding he fought and
plead, and with every appearance Of
maidenly virtue resisted the efforts to
examine him. When questioned as
to his history, Shaw said that he was
born in Louisiana, and had been rails
ed in the house with the white ohil-
dren, During his young days he
wore smock frocks. and never felt at
ease unless so attired. As he grew
up he found that mans labor did not
agree with him, and, therefore, con-
cluded that, as woman, he could sue
ceed better. Providing himself with
an outfit, he sought and obtained a
situation as chambermaid on the
river steamer, in which capacity for
the past ten years he has served with
out detection.

AQueesr lReiigilouls Sect.

A religious sect, which for some time
has been in existence'in in Siberia, is ma!
king many proselytesl in the . Govern
ment of Tamhef, Russia. In most re,
spects the people are Orthodox Greeks
in their belief, but they. have adopted
some ideas which are OF a decidedly
revolutionary character. Their leading
doctrine is that all must marry on be-
coming of age: Added to this are two
other doctrines which, lead US TO suspect
that the body originated with women,
and has developed under her influence
These doctrines are that the husband
must be subordinate to the wife, recog-
nizing ber, as the head of ahe family !;
aud that he must at, least once in week
confess his sins to this household ruler
There must be a very strange state Of
affairs among that people, and it might
be q matter of curiosity to some of our
readers to know whether there, are
among them any Of that class known as
old maids, or as some prefer TO call
them, jebelated sisters" DeOa that point,
however, we have no information. The
members of,this peculiar sect call them
selves "Purifers,", or Puritans. -,
