The st. Louis Republican mentions
some of the troubles that will follow
the new money: "When q man walks
much the inside of his legs will 90
chafed raw. When less than dollar
is to 60 by mail it will have to be COD
verted first into postage stamps. When
you run for street car, money will
fly out of your pockets at every jump.
When you tell your wife that you have
no money she will say that you lie for
she heard it jingle. 1t will be diliculs
to pay man quarter by mistake
for half When you are in hurry
the storekeeper will have to weigh the
coin in his hand and sound it twenty
five times on the counter before be
can determine whether it is COED. The
baby will swallow q dime a day. A
boy with quarter will lose it in a
crack in two minutes, from which no
amount of coaxing with forks and
chips can recover it. Sleepy men will
put buttons and lozenges into the c1r-
tribution boxes as Of yore."
An Eastern paper having had con-
siderable to say about raising chick
ems by hand" the Galveston Nei0s re-
spends. "Such information is not
needed at the South. The whole col.
ored population know how to do it,,
and an enterprising freedman can
raise more pullets in single night, on
his way home from prayer meeting,
than that Eastern editor could raise
in year with all his science"
Some old fraud says, "Get up with
the sun if you want to be healthy and
wise" 1t is easy enough to follow
this advice in the winter, when the
sun acts sensibly, and doesn't get up
until seven o'clock but when he com
mences to get up at four o'clock, we
observe that the wisest men give him
about two hours start, and let their
wives accumulate health and wisdom.

YOUNG AGAIN.

The Adrain (Micb.) Times thus tells
pleasant story, which, it says, comes
to it'"from out near Phillips's Corners,
in the edge Of Ohio" at seems that
Mr.. William Rynd, brother of DIR.
Rynd, of this city, who lives near
there with his father, had purchased a
wild young colt which no one could
handle. He desired the colt, which
was stout, spirited animal, should be
broken to horseback riding, but the
colt steadily resisted all efforts that
were made to mount him. The country
round about was searched for a man
who would dare to ride the colt. None
could be found. At last the father,
Mr.. Charles Rynd, who is seventy six
years old, ordered his son to bring him
his spurs. The old, rusty spurs were
brought out, aud amid the protest of
son and daughters and all who stood
by, the old gentleman mounted the
snorting steed. Rearing and pitching
and tearing, the colt went around the
yard, while the womsn cried and beg
the old gentleman to dismount and
save his neck. At every jump the
colt make the spurs were drawn from
his side and the blood followed. In
an hour or less the animal was per-
fectly quiet and docile. The old gen.
tleman rode him up to the barn, and
dismounting, remarked that he didn't
feel very much over twenty-one years
old"

pated his intention as he put the helm
hard up, and in a compressed but
concentrated voice which was heard
distinctly from stern to stern, be said,
Let 60 oil the braces, and bowlines,
slack off sheets and tacks, and square
the yards-quick !"
1t was done in a twinkling, and
Macy shaped his course as though he
would bring his ship under lee quar-
ter of the privateer. This feint com.
pletely deceived the enemy, when Seth
suddenly changed his course aud
brought her head to bear directly up
on the hull of the Frenchman. Her
crew discovered now, but too late, the
design Of the Grampus, and dire con-
fusion ensued upon the crowded
deck.
eff thou dost intend to run her
down" said Jethro stamping furried.
ly, projecting his head a moment from
the cabin gangway--'if-nay hear me,
Seth for the sake of humanity-if
thou hast determined to run her down,
ease thy helm little and give them a
CuuuCo lOT buclE lives.
"Stand by to lower the boats I"
thudered Seth, stamping furiously up
on the deck. A groan of horror es-
capped his own crew, for not till this
moment had they really seen the de-
sign of their captain, and the swarth.
lest cheek grew a shade paler; but it
was for their lives, and they knew it..
The schooner lay in the trough of the
sea, her decks covered with confusion,
and the huge hulk of the Grampus
poising on the last high wave above
her.
"Misericordel !" A wild yell Of des-
pair, heard far above the dashing of
the ship and rushing of the waters,
burst from the doomed Frenchman-
an instant-and down came the
Grampus foaming and laundering up
on the privateer. Her plunging bow
striking her just amidship, cut the
small vessel directly in two, and her
heavy armament, together with the
tremendous force of the severing blow,
sent her beneath the waves to rise no
more; and all her ill-fated crew of
one hundred and fifty souls went under
with her; a few struggled a moment
in the mighty vortex, but were carried
down, and the next wave effaced
every bubble of the mass of human
life so terribly and instantly quench-
ed.
"Down with the boats from the
quarter--launch the long.boatl" The
command. though it could not have
been uttered or executed sooner with
safety, came too late. The arm of
Seth had been too fatally sure. His
own boat narrowly escaped being
sucked into the whirlpool made by
the sinking schooner, and not one of
the Frenchman's crew rose or again
saw the face of day.
Seth entered the cabin, and walking
up to Jethro, said "The Grampus is
saved, but it had been less costly if
thou had been wiser at Nantucket.
Hereafter in times like these arm thy
ships; the best way to be at peace is
to show thyself ready for war"
And bowing his head upon his hand
Jethro answered nothing.

On Easter eve, as Deacon Horne
came home from class meeting, be
thought he would buy few eggs TO
color for the children, and so stopped
in at grocery store and procured
half a dozen, which he placed in the
pockets of his coat tail. The deacon
is an absent-minded man, and by the
time he reached home he had forgot
ten all about the eggs, so they remain.
ed in his pockets. He woro the coat
to church next day, and sat on three
of the eggs during large portion of
the service. Just before the sermon
he had to take up the collection, and
started down the aisle to do so. As
he handed the box to Mrs. Coffin he
thought he saw bug crawling on
her bonnet, and while she was get.
ting her money ready he put his hand
into his coat-tail pocket to get his
handkerchief to brush it off. Az his
hand descended Mrs. Coffin observed
look ofanguish steal across his face,
and, as she thought he was angry be-
cause she hadn't given enough, she
exclaimed out loud:
"It's none of your business, anyway.
what / give. I'll give Just what
please and you needn't be glaring at
me in that way. l won't have it"
This made the deacon so nervous
that he lost his presence Of mind, and
pulling out his hand, which was COW
cred with broken she'll and had Ave
yellow strings dangling from IL, .ho
tried to brush that bug from Mrs.
Cofin's bonnet with it. As soon as
she caught a glimpse of the bedaubed
hand she rose up in the pew, ,brandished
her umbrella under the deacon's nose
and shrieked:
"G' way from here! G. way from
here this instant! If you put that
nasty stuff on me, Mr.. Horne, III
knock the breath outen you with this
umbrella. G. way, 1 tell you"
The deacon felt ready to faint, and
he clutched the top of the pew to keep
himself from falling. Noticing the
smear made by his hand. he dropped
the box and held on with the other
hand. Then it occurred to him that
he must pick up the box, and he did
SO, collecting the scattered money
with his egged hand, and getting it in
an awful condition. Then the broken
eggs began to ooze through the pocket,
and he stood there in the aisle with
thin, yellow string dripping from each
coat-tail, until Brother Smith sugges-
ted that he was spelling the carpet
and then, in utter desperation, tho
deacon darted for front door, taking
with him the money. box, and con.
firming old Mrs. Coffin's suspicious
that he intended from the first to rob
the church as soon as he got q chance.
She was about to stand up and cry
"Stop thiefp when Miss Coffin ex-
planned the matter to her and she
subsided.
The deacon hasn't been to church
since Easter. He is getting his Sun.
day coat cleaned and his feelings
soothed.
