THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR.
BIZ LIZZIE CLARK hardy.

In the primaiive days Of our grandfath6r's time,
when the fireplace, genital and bright,
Its cayernous recesses glowing Win name
FILLED the old-fashioned kitchen with light;
They used often to gather at close OF the uay'
, Round the hearth-stone, that altar OF yore
Hut men Of this modern and glOrifed age,
COLLECT rounaza mole in the floor.
The Grandfather sat in the chimney nook,
In a old.fashioned splint bottomed chair,
And solemnly read from the blessed Old BOOK
Their altar the time-honored hearth-stone with
CLEANS
OF the hre-light hickering Ger.
We moderns all worship meath freseo and gas,
Our altar-a whole in the floor.
When from the old hearth-stone the children went
forth
And win themselves laurels or valiantly brave
The ibufeting surRes OF life.
Then with world-wearied hearts yearning sadly for
They would seek the old heartb.stone once more;
But We when aweary with toll, and oppressed
Return to--a hole in the floor.
When the tumult Of war overshadowed our land
And our forefathers rushed TO the fray,
To repel the invaders that threatened their homes
Leaving mothers and daughters to pray
The thoughts Of their hearth-stones gave strength
And thrilled their brave hearts to the core,
But our heroes when called from their home to
Must hsht for-Ahols in the floor.
Then let us rejoice that we live in an age
When instead of the hearthstone's bright glow,
Or the cavernous fireplace CHEEKY with flames,
We have 'modern improvements" ," yeu know.
And when we converse OF those primitive times,
And the jolly old customs Of yore,
We will laugh as we think Of their old-fashioned
Asws ii rOund-the hole in the hOor.

A Practical Joke.
By META BELLE.

There lived In village not far from
New York city, gentleman, by name,
Benjamin Top, who thought there was
nothing in this life to equal good joke.
He owned small store, and kept almost
every article OF domestic and agricul-
tural use, and was thereby pretty well
acquainted with all the townspeople, IS
they we're likewise well acquainted with
him. Mr.. Top had played SO many
pranks on the people around him that
he would have made enemies but for
his constant good humor, and his ability
to soothe the parties he had irritated al
most beyond the point of endurance.
The first of April was Mr.. Tops es-
pecial delight, and that was a smart
child who could enter his store on that
day without being made the victim CT
some trick; so that from morn till nighs
of the first day of April his face was
one broad grin, and it happened that
al those who sought to catch him had
the laugh turned on themselves.
A few years ago, as the first of April
approached, our merry friend looked
around to see who would be fitting
qUhlaot for a Joke.
~T mnst have a firstrata ona tb;s

Dr scrocoins. YES Il sbali he he

After considering a while Ton drew
the pen and ink near him and wrote as
follows
"DR. SoRooerEs:-Den Sr:-Please
call as early as possible at Messrs. s. &
B., No. p Wall street, New York,
where you will hear something to your
advantage"
Then, folding and directing the letter,
he snapped his fingers with childish de-
light.
ssPll send him to New York on fools
erraud, I" said he, 'sand have good laugh
at his expense.
DR.. Scroggins, the subject of this
heartIess joke, was bachelor about
forty years of age; he had been living
in the village only six months. and had
thus far gotten very small practice;
not that he lacked ability; but he was

FossIL FRAUDs.-Every one remem-
bers the Cardiff giant, says the New
York Times, and the success which that
fraudulent fossil achieved before its true
character was fully exposed. It now
appears that the alleged print of hu-
man foot, which was said TO have been
recently discovered on a slab Of Con
necticut sandstone, is merely another
attempt to palm off forged fossil upon
a eonfding community. Not only does
the print Of the foot furnish intrinsic
evidence that it was made by the foot
OF modern Connecticut farmer, but
the slab itself proves to be lump Of
artificial stone. The forger first made
his slab and then put his foot in at Il
he had not committed the rash mistake
Of using artificial stone his deceit might
have succeeded, and geologists might
have accepted it as q final and
fatal blow to Moses and his cosmogony:;
These two instances of attempted fraud
