A SCENE FROM LIFE.-A young man
entered the har-room of village tavern,
mo-" said the landlord, ''you have
had delirium tremens once, and | cannot
sell you any more"
He stepped aside to make room for a
couple ofyoung men who had just entered,
and the landlord waited upon them very
politely. The other had stood silent and
sulen, and when they had finished, he
walked up to the landlord, and thus
addressed him:
''Six years ago, at their age, | stood
where those young men are now-l was
a man with fair prospects. Now, at the
age of twenty eight, am wreck, body
and mind You led me to drink. In this
room l formed the habit that has been
my ruin. Now sell me few glasses more,
and you will be done! | shall soon be
out of the way, thele is no hope for me.
But they can be saved. Do not sell it to
them. Sell it to me and let me die, and
the world will be rid of me; but for heav-
ems sake sell no more TO them"
The landlord listen, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter, he exclaimed,
"God help me, this is the last drop will
sell to any one" And he kept his word

A REMARKABLE instance of calculation
was recorded at Aylmer, Canada, where
barber named johnson, for bet Of fifty
cents, ran under the cars Of a railway
train that was passing at rapid rate of
speed. He won the wager, though he
lost the heel of one boot by a wheel that
came unpleasantly close as he emerged.
The man who lost the bet said he expect
ed to win and get couple of dollars for
attending the inquest.

THE grateful citizens of Green Bay,
Michigan, have presented M. Jackson, of
that place, with a silver-headed cane, for
having refrained from kicking his wife
out OF bed during married life Of seven
years. As nobody has presented Mrs.
jackson with silver-headed soap-stick,
it is presumed that the fatal facility with
which she handles her heels has caused
Mr.. jackson to bite the floor more than
once within the time named.

In his lecture at Kenosha, on THE
Girl You Love-" Brother Huntley says !:
" He should love her and let his love be
known. If woman is loved she wants
it known to the world" Unless the girl
is dumb, and has lost both hands by a
kerosene explosion, she is apt to relieve
the young man of all trouble in giving
his proposal publicity, especially if there
is another girl who had tried to get him.

A "SPIRITUALIsTIC FEAT. - Mr..
Maskelyne claims to perform the follow
ing remarkable feat at the Egyptian Hall,
London:
The spirit form of John King com
mands the fetters to drop from the hands
and feet Of the performer. The spirit,
without touching Mr.. Maskelyne, brings
him from the cabinet to the committee,
who examine and testify that there are no
ropes attached. Mr.. Maskelyne there
upon gradually ascends from the stage,
and, following the pointed direction OF
the spirit, floats in the air over the audi
ence, and within few inches of tie lofty
dome in the center of hall. The body
then changes position and returns to the
stage in horizontal position. During
the whole time brilliant light is thrown
upon the body, clearly showing that there
are no suspendcrs either over the head or
under the feet.
