A PyrOtcchinic Goat.
The Erie DispatcI SAYS:

1Hc E1Flc DtSpdtCH says.
Five bad West Side boys cornered an ola
goat, and, after much persuasion, fastened
a pack of fire-crackers securely to his
stumpy narrative, sometimes vulgarly call
ed tail. At the first fizZ, that William
goats hind heels flew out, and the boy
that struck the match was telescOped and
thrown into pond of dirty water. Then,
as the bang-bang of the Chinese powder
squibs commenced, that goat was seized
with elephantine cOnvulsions, and the way
he cut up would have discounted even Dan
Rice's noted trick mule. That goat bound
ed six feet up into the air, then came down
like keg of dynamite, demolishing pair
of pants, and sending one of the boys kit
ing over picket fence. He was so sharp
in his movements that none of the enemy
escaped, and, having danced over the flat
tened forms of the boys to his hearts con-
tent, that goat cleared a six board fence,
chased policeman, knocked down three
corner loafers, sent baby carriage flying
into the gutter, killed two dogs, upset an
old swillman and got him to cursing, scar
ed servant girl into Mysteries, and finally
ran into a book agent, became entangled
in his legs, and the two rolled like two
fighting dogs, over and over, until they fell
through a coal hole.

Printing Office Secrets.

The New Brunswick Telegram point
edly says of the secrets of printing Of
flee:
"A properly conducted printing Office is
as much a secret society as Masonic
Lodge. The printers are not under any
oath of secrecy, but always feel themselves
as truly in honor bound to keep secrets as
though they had been put through triple
Oaths. An emplOye in a printing office
who willingly disregards this rule in re-
gard to printing office secrets, would not
only be scorned by his brethren of the
craft. but would lose his position in the
Office. We make the statement because 1t
sometimes happens that communication
appears in a newspaper under an assumed
signature which excites comment, and va
rious persons try to find out the author.
Let all be saved the trouble of questioning
the employees and attaches of the printing
office. They are nothing on such matters
as these. On such points as these, they
have eyes and ears, but no MOUTH and If
they fail to observe this rule let them be
put down as dishOnOrable members of the
craft"

Writing u Composition.

School boys, and school girls also. con-
slider. ''original compo sition'' as the most
irksOme of tasks. Their knowledge OF
facts is as limited rs their vocabulary is de-
ticient. They are bothered to choose Il
subject, and are perpleXed rs to what they
shall say about Il subject after it is chosen.
Such may be encouraged by the assurance
that all great writers have been troubled
by similar difficulties. An anecdote of the
school days of the late VIM. ii. Seward
may console some boy who is saying to
himself, IL never can learn to write COM
position"
The teacher had designated day for
'.original composition" and appointed
young Seward to lead off. Having no idea
of what was wanted, or how it was to be
done, Seward consulted an older pupil.
Nothing is easier" said his friend.
You must first chose a subject, and
then all you have to do is to write about
it,
''But what is subject?'' asked Seward.
1T is anything you want to write about" :"
was the reply.
But" continued the perpleXed inquirer,
Il don't know of anything want to write
about. l wish could see a composition.
"Well," kindly said his friend, ''ifyou
won't tell, l will show you an old one Of
mine that l wrote when at another school.
Seward pledged himself to secrecy, and
was shown an ''original composition"
''On Drunkenness" was the caption, under
which was drawn heavy black line.
drunkenness is the worst Of all vices !"
this was the first sentence, and then fol-
lowed the argument.
Seward decided that he would not
choose for his subject anything thai was
naughty. bad or wicked. So he said, II
will choose different subject, and will
show the composition to you when it is
written.''
With great labor having written his
composition. he submitted it to his friend.
1t began, ..Oi Virtue.' Virtue is the
best of all yices.''

A SDiritualiStic Se0ncc.

A young man called a day or two since
upon the ladies in whose keeping are the
Rochester spirits. His bearing was sad,
and his voice was tremulous with emotion.
Sorrow was on his cOuntenance and weed
was in his hat.
He sighed as he took his seat, and the
by-standers pitied him, as they saw him
draw forth spotless handkerchief and
wipe away tear.
After few moments of silence, he took
one of the ladies aside, and requested, if
consistent, to be put into communication
with the spiritual essence Of his mother;
and here he wiped his eyes rapidly, and
sObbed.
A period of quiet elapsed and knock
was heard, signifying that the desired cor
respOndence could be had, and with hes;-
tating voice, the young man commenced
questioning the invisible one.
''How long had l gone before you died?''
A length of time was stated.
''Where are you now, mother! Are you
happy?'
The knocking indicated that the spirit
was at rest.
''Are those of your friends who have
gone before with yOu?''
''They are" said the knocking.
'::Then you can recognize them perfect
ly?"
The noise certified the affirmative.
''Can you see me at all times when you
wish?''
The noise proclaimed the perpetual
clearness of the spirits vision in this re-
spect.
The gentleman seemed relieved, and the
spectators were overwhelmed with wonder.
Taking lis hat the mourner arose,
thanked the ladies, and as he stood in the
doorway, quietly said:
81 have been very much entertained, as,
no doubt, my mother herself viii be, for I
left her at home not half an hour ago, bast-
ing a turkey for Gnner!.''

Keep Your Agreement.

One reason why many people do not get
along in the world is because they caiihot
be depended upon. They do not keep
their agreements: When they art Weigh
ed in the balance of actual affairs they are
often found wanting. They are seldom on
time. The workman who is always on
hand at the appointed time atd place, and
does his work according to agreement, is
sure to get along. TO young mechanic,
starting in life, the habit yf punctuality is
worth more than th6iisand dollars cash
capital although thousand dollars is nSt
to be despised. The trustworthinesS of
the faithful workman produces money.
but the untrlstwdrthiness of the uMEaith-
ful one causes him to lose money. This is
an everlasting principle. He who would

Murder Will Out.

The popular saying. Murder will out, =
has as many exceptions rs Il rule in Greek
grammar. Yet, now and then murder
does out. and that, too. in 4 way which
seems as though the voice of God said
Come forth. - Mr. Froude. the historian
tells a singular. wild tale of two murders
committed by one man, the discovery OF
which illustrates the working Of those
detective forces that are not under human
control.
Some fifty years ago an English fleet
anchored in Il bay on the coast of Ireland
\ sailor. who had by some means obtained
a bag OF sovereigns, secured them in !,
belt around his waist. and deserted from
his ship. He made his way to Il farm
house, where he was offered shelter for the
night.
The farmers name was O'Brien. and to
him the sailor showed the gold which he
had brought with him. The sight Of the
sovereigns tempted the host to commit
murder.
The sailor tell asleep by the fire. In the
night. Kathleen. a servant-girl. who slept
in the loft above, saw Il light giimmering
through the cracks in the floor. Looking
down, she saw her master standing over
the sleeping sailor, and kill him.
The body was carried out and burie,;.
As the mans presence at the farmhouse
was unknown to the neighbors, no inquiry
was made for him.
The girl, frightened ut the possession of
the dreadful secret, did not venture to
speak of it. But one day. in quarrel.
she let fall word which told him that she
knew Of the murder.
One morning she went out early to milk
the cows. The path ran by the top of
waterfall, 30 on 40 feet high. He followed
her, watched his opportunity. and flung
her over. The cOroner's inquest returned
the verdict of death from an accidental
fall.
O'Brien thought he was safe from detec-
ton. Quietly and gradually he laid out
the sailors money in the purchase of sheep
and cows.
Seventeen years had passed away, and
O'Brien was rich man, the envy of the
ncighborhoOd, when suddenly the de-
tcctive forces of Providence were set to
work.
There had been witness to the murder
Of Kathleen. a thief, intent on shearing
O'Brieri's sheep, that he might steal the
wool, was looking from crag overhang-
ing the fall, and saw the farmer fling the
servant girl upon the rocks below. A con-
sciousness Of his own guilt forced him to
remain silent:
But one day, while working in copper
mine, he fell down shaft. He was badly
hurt, and believing himself to he dying, he
sent for a priest. In the confession he
told the priest all. The priest insisted that
the mafi should make public declaration
of what he had seen.
A magistrate took his deposition upon
oath. A warrant was issued for O'Brien,
and after months of searching he was ar
rested. He was tried, found guilty, and
after full confession, was hanged.

Yet they grind exceedingly small.''
