trousers the principal styles are checks

How q Spanish Sexton Impersonated
the Devil.

A strange story comes from the north
of SPAIN A moribund landed proprietor,
Notwithstanding the entreaties of his fam
lily and friends, refused to receive the con-
solutions of religion. His family, think
ing they had overcome his scruples, sent
for the parish priest; but upon his arrival
the sick man declined to receive him, and
the priest withdrew, declaring that the
devil would come in person to carry off so
hardened sinner as soon as he was dead.
A few hours afterward the sick man
died, and while the family were watching
over the body the door of the room was
opened with great noise, and there APP
peared upon the scene q parsonage ar
rayed in red, brandishing pitcIfork,
dragging long tail after him, and SMELL
ing very strongly of sulphur. His ap.
pearance created so much terror that the
women present tainted and the men rushed
out of the room by another door. A man
servant, hearing the screams, and thinking
that thieves had broken into the house,
armed himself with revolver, and made
his way to the room from whence they
proceeded.
For a moment he, too, was terrified by
the appearance of the devil" who by
this time had got the body in his arms
but, mastering his fears, he fired three
barrels of his revolver at him, and the
supposed devil, who fell to the ground,
proved to be the parish sexton, who, by
the orders of the priest, had disguised
himself, as he conceived, as Satan. He
was quite dead when picked up, and four
priests, who are suspected of completely
in this attempt to work upon the super.
stitious feelings of the family of the de-
ceased, have been taken into custody

4 Thrilling Adventure.

JAMES HANCOCK, foreman of the repair
gang of the city water works, and brother
of Superintendent Hancock, had narrow
escape from horrible death at Ludlow
this afternoon. The twenty .four-inch
pipe leading from the great reservoir to
the higher brook has for some time needed
repairs, and, q Golfer dam having been
built to shut off the water, Mr.. Hancock
crawled into the pipe at the reservoir end,
intending to 60 through its entire length
to ascertain precisely what repairs were
necessary. After getting about quarter
of mile in he found that section of pipe,
having sunk somewhat in quicksand, had
not emptied itself, and that it would be
impossible to crawl through to the higher
brook END without danger of drowning.
OF course he could not turn about, and
he had no other alternative than to back
out-a very slow, tedious and painful
process. 1t was intensely cold inside the
pipe, and he soon became benumbed, and
90 announced in feeble voice to the men
at either end, who were listening, and
were becoming extremely anxious for his
welfare. Meantime the coffer. dam was
leaking badly, and the men had to work
with all their might ct the pumps to pre-
vent the water from flooding and drown
ing Mr.. Hancock. The danger became so
great that . CARLOAD Of sawdust was
dumped behind the dam, and bags Of
sand were thrown in to stop the leak.
After awhile Hancock became so ex.
hausted as to be unable to speak in reply
to the shouted inquiries as to his progress.
Hour after hour passed, and large num-
Der of persons gathered expecting that the
man would never be got from the pipe
alive. Finally, after an imprisonment of
five and half hours, he backed out alive,
yet trembling and nearly dead.-Spring-
field (N0ss.) Cor. Boston Journal.

The Nervous Man.

WE easily know nervous man. You
say, He never walks, he runs" Born
in hurry, he lives in hurry, and you
anticipate that he will depart this life with
corresponding precipitation. Full of
fears freely expressed. Afraid he will be
too late for the train, or the train will be
too late for him. Afraid it will rain, or
afraid it will not. You ought to pity
him, but you can't. Entitled to commits
Grafton, he awakens only vexati0n. You
pronounce him wearying companion.
He comes in with q whew uttered or un-
expressed. A sh-sh-sh rises to your lips
as he approaches, and you long to admin
lister to him some quietus. He makes
doorknots ache and break. In your prov
OcatiOn you call him an animated thresh-
ing-machine. He is unconscious, out
side, of active nervousness. You know
how infectious it is. As catching as the
smallpox. You feel that if you don't get
out of his orbit you will be just like him.
His watch outruns his neighbors' time
pieces. True, he is always in time for
everything; but at the cost of whatever
comes in his way. You pity his tired
looking wife. How can life 20 smoothly
with her? He loves her dearly, but as
YOU look into her worried face, you re-
member that poor pussy never purrs when
you rub her fur the wrong way. As for
his own quantum of comfort, you can't
see when he stops to take it; and fun
niest of it is he utterly repudiates the
idea of his being nervous.-Ckurch Jour-
nal.

You never spicd a flower:"
" didn't: Well. YOU wait and see.
You girls thought me too lazy
To leave my bed ut dawn and seek
A crOcus or Il daisy.
And wagered me a kiss" 'Oh. Tom

That YOU the first spring flower would find
You've lost the bet-please pay it,

To laugh at and provoke us?

And every frogs croak-cuss..'

Indorsed by William h. Vanderbilt.

One of our townsmeD, being in New
York recently, had occasion to visit one
of the city banks. A gentleman entered
the bank, and with nervous air pushed
forward to the principal officers desk,
where he presented note for heavy
amount and desired to have it discounted.
The bank officer took the paper, examined
it, and pointing to the name on the back,
said: THAT name, sir, is not good here;
we can't take that paper" "Then, !"
said the other, +" am ruined-ruinedl''
With hurried glance at the bystanders,
the man was about to withdraw the worth
less note, but another gentleman who had
been engaged close by, and Who had evil
IDENTIFY observed what was going on, quiet
ly put forth his hand, took the rejected
paper, scrutinized it, and then having
taken . good look at the man who had

BEAUTIFUL dwcller in cloudland.
Cioudland, misty with sleep,
Over the heavens Of vision
Shadows Of shadows creep.
Drifting away to heaven,
Slumber and slumber sweet,
Lightly luSe swings thy pillow
Kisses are ON thy feet
Drifting away to heaven,
Anchored in Wales Of calm.
All thy white sails are folded,
Silent on seas Of balm.
THE MorIIERyEss
She has not sung. she has not smiled,
Her little hands have done their hest,
She kneels and prays-the undecided
And seeks her rest.
Silent her cheek the pillow meets,
She turns her to her unkissed sleep;
From here and there the shadow fleets
And hovers deep.
Some little rustles stir and creep;
A fitful sigh-her vision breaks
She grows lovely in her sleep
She half awakes.
Then sleeps again, with measured breath,
At last all troubled thoughts are gone;
Her peace is almost sweet as death
The night gOes on.
