A Danbury ApDaratiOn.
IDanbury News. /

Mr.. Henflicke is one Of the best OF
politicians, but not always an obliging
husband. Mrs. Henfiicke has tall and
stately rosebush sitting in tub, which
she wanted Mr.. Henficke to remove to
the house for safety against the frost.
Mr.. H. had promised on several occa.
siODs to attend to it, but did not do it.
Friday night he was out to help fire of
the cannon in honor of a political victory.
1t was nearly one o'clock when he ap-
preached the house. Mrs. Henflicke
despairing of his help, had covered the
rosebush with a sheet. The singular
spectacle confronted Mr.. Henficke just
as he was about to open the gate.
Hi, therep he impulsively observed.
Then he paused and started at the an.
partition. with protruding eyes. The
sight was 30 strange, so weird and so un-
expected that the unfortunate man felt
all the principles he had imbibed in the
evening slowly dissolve and Ooze from
his being.
Hi, there (" he gasped a second time,
as if to gain some explanation of the
creatures presence, and yet prepared to
retreat Oh the first demonstration. His
eyes protruded still farther, his face
grew white, and his hair, relieved from
the pressure of the hat which fell off at
the first shock, stood straight on end.
The gate trembled under his grasp.
For full moment he stood there with
his eyes riveted upon the apparatiOn.
But it did not move. Then he slowly
backed away, still keeping his eyes upon
the specter, until it was out of his sight,
then he turned about and ran with all
his might around the corner to q back
street, and thus gained the rear OF his
garden. He clambered hastily but
softly over the fence, and flew noiselessIy
across the grass to the back door. He
took hold of the knob with nervous
grasp, but the door was locked. If there
was any color in his face until now it
went entirely ON this discovery. His
limbs trembled with such violence as to
precipitate him from the stoop. He
felt his reason forsakipg him. At this
juncture he thought OF the window.
With trembling haste he tried the sash
it lifted. Concentrating all his re-
naming strength he lifted his body up
to the sill, balanced thereon for an
instant with his mind agonized and his
marrow chilled by the awful, sickening
reflection that his extremities were ex.
posed to the grip of the specter, and
then toppled over into the room, and
across tub of clothes in soak, with an
agonizing shrek of expiring conscious
ness. The grateful GOODNESS of the tubs
brought him back to life almost
as soon as his scream had brought his
wife to the scene. He jumped up from
the tub, fell upon his knees before the
startled woman and with an eloquence
which brought to her throbbing heart
of the old time, and fell like
sweet music upon her ears, he implored
her forgiveness for all his neglect and
temper and meanness, and made promises
which would have caused lottery
to feel uneasy. The
astonished but happy woman helped him
10 bed and forgave him everything, but
took the precaution to arise in the morn
ing before him, and to remove the sheet
from the bush.

A TarantuIa Attacks a Pueblo Man
and Produces Serious Results.
Pueblo Co. Chieftain.

Dan. Sheppard, workman On the
South Pueblo Waterworks ditch, at the
st. Charles, was bitten by tarantula on
the evening of Friday, October 6.
On the night in question Mr.. Sheppard
was sleeping in cabin on the "Gray-
back Ranch," near where the Rio Grande
Railway crosses the St. Charles. He had
made his bed on the floor, aud had
scarcely gone to sleep when he felt some
thing pinch his left shoulder and then
run across bis face. He tried to catch
it with his hand, but it escaped him.
Severe pains beginning to shoot from
the shoulder. Mr.. Sheppard became con-
vinced that he had been bitten by a
tarantula.
He then ran up the railway track to Mr..
M. Il. Robinson's, about three-quarters
of a mile distant, in the hope of getting
some whisky for use as an antidote, but,
unfortunately, Mr.. Robinson had no
whisky on hand. He then returned
down the track, and went to the house
of Mr.. Neece, near where he was bitten.
Sheppard is stout powerful man. but
by this time he was nearly exhausted.
The pain had passed from his shoulder
down his left side, until his whole body
was affected, and he was in a state OF the
most excruciating agony. Mr.. Neece
hurried to Mr.. Howard's half a mile
up the st. Charles, and informed him of
the occurrence. Mr.. Howard immedi-
ately mounted his horse and galloped to
Pueblo, eight miles distant, for supply
of whisky.
In the meantime Sheppard returned to
his cabin, and in short time, from the ac-
tion of the poison, he became almost in
sensible, and his body, head and limbs be-
came frightfully swollen. In just two
hours and half from the time he was
bitten, Mr.. Howard arrived with the
whisky. The poisoned man was now in a
very critical condition, unable to move
and evidently at the very gates of death.
The whisky was Immediately admins
tered, and he speedily revived. About a
quart was given him, when, as Sheppard
himself says, he began to feel himself the
strongest man in Colorado, and it was with
difficulty that four men could hold him.
1t soon became evident that the whisky
would prove effectual antedote to the
tarantula poison.
Mr.. Sheppard is now recovering rapidly,
and though he is still weak, and has lost
some thirty pounds in weight, there is
but little doubt that in a week or so he
will be all right again.

A Pathetic Scene.
detroit Free Press.I

On the Bay City train coming down
the other day was passenger whose
strange actions drew the attention OF
ever one in the car. He had newspaper
in one hand ana handkerchief in the
other, and he would read for minute OF
two and then turn away and weep. After
this action had continued for some time
one of his fellow passengers approached
him and tenderly remarked:
:" My friend you seem to feel sorrow

"Have you had some great bereave.

"Not very lately. / was reading a
pathetic article in this paper, and it calls

"Let me see it," asked the gentleman,
and taking the paper he found that the
article commenced with: "All persons
are hereby forbidden to trust my wife
after this date, as she has left my bed and
board" and 80 forth. He didn't know
what to cay in reply, and as he handed
the paper back without word the grief
stricken man remarked:

japanese Gardens.
fScribner for November. |

Among the cOnifers will be noted
young plants of that japanese species
which may be seen under the wing OF
the Japanese building-quaint pigmies
of trees, not three feet high, yet over
seventy years old. They are gnarled
and twisted as if they had fought the
winds and caught their picturesqueness
of form-as old oaks catch theirs-by
battling with tempests and wintry storms
upon the hills. And yet these dwarfed
trees are thoroughly creatures of art.
By examining closely the specimens in
the japanese ground, you will see traces
of the dwarfing process. The leading
shoots have been clipped, or bent down
ward; the lateral branches turned in
and tied back; lusty limbs twisted and
wrenched into quaint postures; marks
of the torturing- pins, and bands and
cuts are still observable; it is crippled
dwarf of tree, made quaint and pic
turesque by its years of struggle against
the tolls of the gardener.
Is there a compensating beauty in
them? Not, surely, as we reckon the
beauty of plant growth. But consider,
that the Japanese. in their horticultural
system, have offices for such dwarfed
monarchs of trees to fill. With them,
no homestead is complete without its
garden; a few, square rods may be all
at command; but this area must have
its golden treatment; and the gardens
are modelled after nature. San. sm'-
mountain and water-is the term which
in Japanese describes the gardeners
work. The aim is-within however
limited an area-to present a complete
landscape, with rock, valley, plain
water, and mountain. Under such min
iature presentment, trees and plants
must be dwarfed to bear proper relations
to the dwarfed valleys and rocks. TC
such an extent is this copying of nature
in little carried by enthusiastic garden.
ers that a rocky landscape, with its
heights and level spaces and trees, il
wrought out, with nice attention to pro
portions, within the limits Of a great
bronze basin. We doubt if gardeners o.
the West will emulate them in theil
mimicry of nature; but they may wei
emulate the painstaking skill which
makes such small successes possible, ano
the assiduous care, and the close study
of plant-life, which are enforced by sucf
arts

The Sagaclous Elephant.
Cincinnati Gazette.I

Every school-boy remembers the
story of the elephant who put his trunk
into tailor's shop in search of something
good to eat, and received only prick
from the tailor's needle, and how he soon
returned with trunk full of muddy
water and deluged the little tailor's shop
for revenge. No doubt that lesson was
never read by one of the supe's of the
Grand Opera House, or he would not be
suffering sore bruises on various parts of
his body. 1t happened few nights ago
he gave to the elephant that belongs to
the stock company of Kiralfy Brothers
show, chew of tobacco. The elephant
gave no signs of indignation at the time,
but quarter OF an hour afterward, when
the offending "supe next came within
reach of the insulted animal, the handy
trunk reached for the bad young man,
selected him unerringly from group OF
half dozen, caught him and tossed him
up into the air, and allowed him Ia fall
heavily on the floor. There can he no
doubt now about the authenticity of the
story Of the tailor and his needle and the
muddy water.

A Baby Traded for Rum.
| Muscatine irlpune.l

A sad story of the terrible influence o
the liquor traffic comes to us from Fair.
view, in this State. Some three or four
yaars ago promising young man of that
place married the lovely and accom-
plished daughter of minister of the
gospel. The young couple were highly
esteemed, and for awhile their welded
lives ran smoothly and happily, and
they were all in all to each other. But
the tempter came-not to the wife, but
to the husband. He fell-not at once to
the lowest depths, but slowly and surely
he went down the grade that leads from
moderate drinking to confirmed drunken
ness, until he spent everything he had
for whisky, even selling the family Bible
to procure money with which to crafty
his cravings for drink. A few months
ago baby was born to him-a sweet
little innocent that laughed and cooed
unconscious of the degradation of its
father. 1t would have been well-spring
ofpleasure" in the home of sobriety and
virtue, but here its innocence and
helplessness touched no tender chord in
the paternal heart. The love it should
have aroused was dead, and in its place
was an all-absorbing thirst for intoxi-
eating liquor. The poor mother alone
found some consolation in its presence
for the grief caused by her husbands
fall. But it was to be the means of
adding a sharper pang to her despair.
The drunken father, unable to bear the
torture of his raging thirst, was at his
wits end for means to secure its gratif-
cation. He had nothing left which he
could sell, and the bar-keeper refused to
trust him for another drink. His morbid
craving for stimulants was driving him
frantic, and he was ready for almost any
desperate deed. At this junction he
bethought him of his baby, and, hor-
rible to relate, the unnatural father took
the little innocent from the house, car
ried it two miles to low doggery and
there actually traded it to the barkeepcr
for drink of whisky! Is there a deeper
depth of shame than this? If there is,
nobody but the rumseller can show the
way to it. The distress of the unhappy
mother can better be imagined than
described. She recovered her child en-
paying for the whisky, but her blighted
hopes, her bleeding heart, her wrecked
life still remained to bear damning
testimony against the internal traffic
through which such ruin and infamy
were wrought.

Leap Year.

Remember, o, maiden fair! few
weeks more and leap is gone !-for you,
perchance, forever gone How mex
pressibly sad-how incOnceivably heart
touching-the thought! But within
these weeks, brief though the period be,
much may be accomplished. Pick out
judiciously, and with an especial eye to
his total abstinence from those patent
air brakes to the aspiring youth, beer and
tobacco, the lordly, leal and liquor-con-
temning young cuss upon whom you
would lavish your gushing affections.
Where is the girl, whether fut'cring in
the brocade of princess or wearing the
calico polonaise of the laborer's daughter,
who would be told that three months
is not time enough for the wooing and
the winning of asgood husband as may
be wOOed and won by any other girl with
no better faculties for the businessY 1t
is Shakespeare who knows-that. "that
man who hath tongue, l say, is no man,
If with that tongue he cannot win a
woman" This is scarcely less true, per-
haps, than gospel. IT it be true that any
man who hath tongue eau win a woman,
1t would seem to follow, from parity of
reasoning, as the cheap disputants of
some of the religious newspapers have it,
that the woman who hath tongue of
her own-and there be few of the sweet,
delicious sex to whom the gift is denied
must be very nearly akin to no woman
if she cannot win man--and win him
i'm less than two months, too, and be
ready with the assurance in the end that
she won him and didn't half try. But
enough.

However, / am well aware that there is

wholesale adoption of mechanical con-

plumbing, instead of lamps or candles,
open fires, and movable washing ap-
paratus, because it saves immensely in
the labor and.expense necessary to carry

better servants are to be had, and "serv-

You can talk so TO Grandmother Gray
She doesn't laugh, nor send you away,

With fine French roof and frescoed hail.

DON'T TAKE 1T TO HEART.

There's many a trouble,

And into the waters Of Lethe depart,
Did We not rehearse IL,
And tenderly nurse Il,
And give 1t perman place In the heart.
There's many sorrow

Were we not willing TO furnish the wings;
So sadly intruding
And quietly brooding.

How welcome the seeming

Whether ones wealthy or whether ones poor.
Eyes bright as berry,
Cheeks red as a cherry,
The groan and the and the heartache can cure
Resolved to be merry,
All worry to ferry
Across the famed waters that bid us forget,
And no longer fearful,
But happy and cheerful,
We feel life HAS much that's worth living for vet
