DR.. F., ''puts me in mind of the storm
that occurred when L lived on the
Island. AS you are all well aware. our
island was near Casco Bay. An awful
storm arose, and was so fierce that it
drove all the ducks in the Bay into a
pond covering about an acre, near my
house. In fact. so many ducks crowd
ed into that pond that l could not see a
drop of water

went into the house and got my double
barreled shotgun and discharged both
barrels right into the midst of them,
but to my establishment they all arose
into the air, leaving not a solitary duck
on the pond"
Good gracious You don't say so, -
says Smith. Didn't you hev any shot
in yer gum"
"Well, | was comm to that, said
DIR. f. sit astonished me at first, but
as soon as the ducks rose few hundred
yards in the air, and commenced to
separate little, ducks began to drop,

picked up twenty-nine barrels of ducks
and it was poor year for ducks 100.
You see the ducks were wedged in SO
solid on the pond that when they arose
they carried the dead ones into the air
with them, and when they separated,
down came the twenty-nine barrels of
dead ducks"

corn; on one side of the barn was an
open window, and on the other side a
knot hole; and during the storm the
wind blew so fierce that it blew every
ear of that corn right through the knot
hole, and the hole being Just the size OF
a cob only, the result was that it shell
ed every ear, leaving the corn in the
barn, and the next morning found my
corn barn half full of shelled corn and
not single cob. had curiosity to
know where the cobs had gone to. !

The Religion We Want.

We want religion that bears heavi-
Iy not only on the exceeding rascality
Oflying and stealing; religion that
banishes small measures from the coun-
tiers, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay
from the paper, sand from sugar, Chi
cory from the coffee, alum from the
bread, and water from the milk cans.
The religion that is to save the world
will not put all the big strawberries at
the top and all the little ones at the
bottom. 1t will not make one-half a
pair of shoes of good leather, so that
the first shall rebound to the makers
credit and the second to his cash. It
will not put Jouvin's stamp on Jenkins
kid gloves; nor make Paris bonnets in
the back room of a Boston miliiner
shop; nor let piece of velvet that pro-
fesses % measure twelve yards, come to
an untimely end in the tenth. 1t does
not put bricks at five dollars a thou
sand into chImneys it contracts to
build with seven dollar material; nor
smuggle white pine into floors that
have paid for hard pine; nor leave yawn-
ing cracks in closets where boards
ought to JOIN. The religion that is

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Portland Press says if the Re-
publican party only lives up to its his
tory, and avails itself of its glorious OPP
portunities, it will command the whole
Independent vote.
The Richmond Va Dispatch is very
sure that General Hancock's connec-
tiOn with the execution of Mrs. Surratt
renders it certain that he could not be
elected to any Office of honor or profit
by the people of the United States.
Mo. Republican: Florida has three
thousand white men who have not vo-
ted since the downfall of the Confed-
eracy.-Eechange.
No, it takes too much of their time
to curse the government to waste any
OF it on so small amatter as voting.
Morton never received a greater
compliment than that paid him by the
Confederate Senator Gordon, who said
the SOuthernDemOcrats had to fight the
word, the flesh, and the Senator from
Indiana" The trouble is, Morton has
the brains to discern the plans of the
Democracy and the cOur age to ex-
pose them. He has done it often;
hence the curses.-Indidnapolis Jo,-
rndi
The Cincinnati Gazette says both
Governor MortOn's character and his
reputation for sagacity in political
management make irrational the sup
position that he had anything to do
with this publication, (the charge
against Blaine,) or would have per-
mitted it if he could have prevented
it. 1t declares the story came out at a
time and in manner most favorable
to Mr.. Blaine for meeting it.
TIE Washington Chronicle stands by
the statement that if the Republicans
make good, ringing nominations,
North Carolina, California, and New
Jersey may as well be transferred to our
side at once, and the figures will then
stand rs Republican States with 232
electoral votes, and II Democratic
States with 146 electoral votes. If call
ed upon to take out Connecticut, Louis
lana and Mississippi, with their %
votes, and leaving North Carolina,
California, and New Jersey still in the
Democratic category, the Chronicle
claims the Republicans can still elect
without New York.
The Brooklyn Eagle says of the
Springfield Republican: 1T is the ST.
Thomas of the new disciples, who num-
Der less than twelve. In its view, the
eternal duty Of man is to doubt. 1t
does not believe in Democracy. 1t
does not believe in Republicanism. 1t
does not believe in the Senate 1t dis
trusts the House. 1t lacks confidence
in the scheme of things itself 1t does
incline to Charles Francis Adams, but
it is only because that is the name, not
of real but of an imaginary quality in
politics. 1t is so persuaded of the de-
fects of both organizations that it will
not tolerate anybody who is not of the
same mind. It's the gospel of growl. -

Wanted to go to Morrow.

Morrow is station ON the Little Mi.
ANAL road, about forty miles from Gin
cinnati. A new brakeman on the road
who did not know the names of the

him:
''Does this train go to Morrow to.

thought the stranger was making game

The COnjurer Robert HOudin.

He performed in the interior CAL
geria) before an audience consisting
almost entirely of Arabs. when. after
eliciting expressions of wonder and
admiration by performing the gun.
trick, and old Arab, who, perhaps had
some suspicion of the true nature of
the trick, said: "The Frank is doubt
less powerful magician; but will he
suffer me to fire at him with one of
my own pistols?"
"Yes," replied Robert Houdin, "but
1 must first invoke the power that as
sists me-"
He prepared for the test of the fol
lowing day by fabricating couple of
bullets of wax and lampblack, one of
which he punctured as soon as the
exterior had become firm, and al
lowed the still soft and warm COM
position in the interior to run out
through tho orifice He then filled
up the void with blood, and closed
the opening with a morsel of the
composition.
Thus prepared, he, on the following
night. offered a saucerful OF leaden
bullets for the inspection of the skep-
teal Arab, who, after satisfying him
self that they were really made of
lead, handed his pistols to the conju-
rer. The experiment was new one,
and Robert Houdin confessed after
ward that he trembled as he deX-
trously contrived to slip one of his
prepared bullets into the pistol, and
after ramming it down upon the pow
der with The ramrod, handed it back
to the Arab.
"Now firel" he exclaimed, folding
his arms.
The Arab fired, and the conjurer, to
the formers amazement, not only re-
manned erect, but took from his
mouth a leaden bullet, which the
doubter was satisfied was one of
those which he had examined
"Bahl" exclaimed Robert Houdin
as he loaded the other pistol "You
cannot use your own weapons. See
herel You have been unable to draw
blood from me; but l will draw blood
from yonder wall.
He fired at the wall, upon which g
stain of blood was Immediately seen
The Arabs crowded to the wal, stared
at the blood, touched it with theil
fingers. Their amazement deepened
into awe. and one and all acknowl
edged that the Frank was more
powerful magician than any of theil
own people, ires Of Conjlrers."

Mr.. SkidmOre's Bugle.

Mr.. Peter Skidmore, of German
town, plays a little on the bugle. One
night last summer he went into the
parior in the dark, and felt over the
top of the piano for the horn. 1t
happened that his aunt, frofa Penn's
Grove had been there that day and
had left heI brass ear-trumpet lying
on the piano, and Peter got hold OF
this without perceiving the mistake,
as the two we're OF similar shape. He
took it in his hand and went out on
the porch where Miss Mills was sit
ting talking to his sister. He asked
Miss Mills if she was fond OF music
on the horn, and when she said she
adored it, he asked her how she
would like him to play Ever of Thee, :"
and she said that was the only tune
she cared anything for.
SO Peter put the small end of the
trumpet to his lips and blew. He
blew and he blew. Then he blew
some more, and then he drew fresh
breath and blew again. Then the on
ly sound that came was kind of
hollow moan, which sounded so
queerly In the dark that Miss Mills
asked him il he was not we'll And
when he said he was, she said that he
went exactly like a second cousin Of
hers that had the asthma,
Then Peter remarked that somehow
the horn was cut of order for Ever
of Thee but if Miss Mills would like
to hear "Sweetly / dreamed, Love-"
he would try to play it; and Miss
Mills said that the fondest recollec-
tons clustered about that melody.
SO Peter put the trumpet to his
lips again and strained his lungs Sc
verely in an effort to make some
music. 1t wouldn't come, but he
made very singular noise, which
induced Miss Mills to ask if the horse
in the stable back of the house had
the heaves. Then Peter said he
thought somebody must have plug
ged the bugle up with something, and
he asked his sister to light the gas
in the entry while he cleaned it out.
When she did so the ear-trumpet be-
came painfully conspicuous, and both
the girls laughed. When Miss Mills
laughed Peter looked up at her with
pain in his face, put on his hat and
went out into the street, where he
could say over some sentimental Ian
guage to himself
He is counting another girl now,
and learning to play on the piano

Humorous.

The revival feeling is still spread
ing, but il hasn't yet got down deep
enough to affect arrearages on the
country newspaper books.
Miss Buchanan, once rallying her
cousin; an officer, on his courage,
said: Now, Mr.. Harry, do you real
ly mean to tell me you walk up to a
canncn's mouth with fear?" Yes,
was the prompt reply, "or Buchanan's
either" And he did.

THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.
BY ANNIE L JACK.

BY ANNIE l. JACK.
She lives within quiet home,
No model Of the grsces,
Unknown to cultures higher walks,
Or fashions giddy places;
A Thoughtful girl, 50 sweet, 50 wise
With earnest face and loving eyes
Tho farmers gentle daughter.
From morn till eve the little maid
Is busy at her labor
She sweeps and dusts the Old farm house
And helps poorer neighbor;
No gossip will she listen to
A merit rare, l own to you)
So lives the. farmers daughter.
On baking days her tiny hands
Are busy at the making;
No bread more light and sweet than hers,
Was ever made by baking
She churns the butter, golden, sweet,
And keeps the dairy white and neat
The farmers useful daughter.
Her garden is an Eden fair,
Abloom with pinks and roses
She knows the name Of every flower,
And makes some gorgeous posies-
Grows peas, and radishes, and cress,
And corn, and squash, and herbs to press
The farmers happy daughter
Long may she bravely smile on us
Our 1arling household fairy,
The queen Of garden, house and lst,
And princess Of the dairy
To teach US by her pleasant way
To love the things Of every day
God bless the farmers daughter.
