That Big Frog.

1t was remembered afterward that he had
sneaking, low-down look, and the boys
were sorrow that they didn't arrest him as

Ninth avenue station and asked if they had
an aquarium there, and if they didn't want

added,

Captain.
"Run him down with tug and threw

Then he went down stairs four steps at
time lest his choice liquors should be ami
lated in his absence.
1t was Monday noon when they returned.
Marian sat at the window in the easiest chair
the house afforded, sickening with fever.
She watched them coming into town with
restless, and quite hopeless anxiety. She
watched them scattering to their cabins, and
saw Circus Jack coming on toward the hotel
alone.
She buried her face in her hands He had
said that he would never come back until he
found him. Had they become discouraged,
She could not believe that they had found
him. Her heart seemed to cry out, "no,
mo-" Jack came up, with Mrs Sharp at his
heels.
"Be keerful p' said the faded woman,
"she's mighty poorly"
Jack came in as lightly as his heavy boots
would allow.
"The boys said fur me ter tell yer they wus
all dredful sorry fur yer We buried him
jist whar we found him. He'd ben dead
nigh on to a couple of weeks, reckon.
Don't yer look so, lady. Poor Jim he
warn't never happy, even when he was
drunk. He's better off up thar. We flung
few stones together to mark the place,
and I'll guide you and Mrs. Sharpe there any
time"
Then lowering his voice to whisper, he
added tenderly, "and | TUX the ring often his
finger. He couldn't fight for it now an
thought as mebby you'd like it."
He took it from the corner of his handker
chief; she held up her finger for it, ant
he slipped it on. Then he saw that the let
ters spelled "faith." "Thet Punks" HI
thought to himself contemptuously.
She looked up into his face with ston.
smile-no tears now.
"Thank you," she said
Four weeks after the doctor lifted Marian
into the stage. She was strong enough fo
her journey now, she said. Two days befor
she had visited the lonely cairn. 1t was
tiresome horseback ride too. She seemed t.
be getting well very fast. The doctor toll
her so.
"People never die when they wish to, sh
answered sadly
Circus Jack came to the stage door to bi
her goodbye"
"What can do for you to thank you
she asked earnestly.
Jack hesitated.
OFF you wouldn't mind, ma a'am," he sai'
"Td like-to--kiss your hand. I've got
dear old mother home-ef you wouldn

Without blush or change of countenan,
she put her arms around his neck and kisst
his lips.
Goodbye, dear old fellow" she said.
Then Scotty cracked his whip, the crow
on the piazza waved their hats-even d
poor, chagrined doctor-a subdued che
was given, and the numbering stage dsal

iposas on the hillside looking curiously as

A young lady in St. Petersburg showed
considerable presence of mind in an adven-
ture with robber, early this spring. The
driver of the sledge, hired by her at night
fall to drive her home, drove over the ice of
the river Neva. When they had reached an
airhole about the middle of the stream, he
demanded of her costly fur cloak she wore,
threatening in default of her compliance to
throw her headlong under the ice. Help
was out of the question no one was near !;
she and the robber were alone ON the broad
stream. Suddenly deciding on her course,
she threw the cloak on the ice some yards
distant, and while the robber hastened to
grasp it, seized the reins and escaped to the
nearest police station. The alarm was Civ
en-, and in a short time the robber with the
cloak was brought in u captive

No inhabitants of yard seem possessed
of such a variety of expression, and so CO.
pious language, as common poultry. Take
a chicken of four or five days old, and hold
it up to a window where there are flies and
it will Immediately seize its prey with little
twitterings of complacency but if you ten
der it a wasp or bee, at once its note be-
comes harsh, and expressive of disapproba-
tion and a sense of danger. When pullet
is ready to lay, she intimates the event by
joyous and easy soft note of all the occur
rences of their life, that of laying seems to
be the most important; for no sooner has
hen disburdened herself, than she rushes
forth with clamorous kind of joy which
the cock and the rest of his mistresses imme-
diately adopt. The tumult is not confined
the family concerned, but catches from yard
to yard, and spreads to every homestead
within hearing, till at last the whole village
is in an upror. As soon as a hen becomes
mother her new relation demands q new
language. She then runs clucking and scud-
| ding about, and seems agitated, as if possess
ed. The father of the flock has also con.
siderable vocabulary if he finds food, he
calls a favorite concubine to partake and If
bird of prey passes over, with warning
voice he bids his family beware. The gal
liant chanticleer has, at command, his amor
Gus phrases, and his terms of defiance. But
the sound by which he is best known is his
growing; by this he has been distinguished
in all ages as the countryman's clock OF
larum-as the watchman that proclaimf

ON THE BEACH.
BY DORA DARM00RE.

Down through the park we rode at even,
The white sands shOne with wondrous
gleam;
The blue OF the sea and the blue Of heaven
Were mixed with the gold OF the suns last
beam.
The tide was out and the sand hills dreary,
Stretching away by the wave-kissed shore,
sat like wanderers wan and weary,
Soothed to rest by the oceans roar.
out where the misty horizons curtain
Dipped It's edge in the purple sea,
Sailed with a motion slow, uncertain,
A whlte-winged bark like a sea-bird free
Far in the west snowy cloud-bank,
Fretted with gold and crimson bars,
Reared its castled turrets proudly
Upward toward the evening stars.
on the sands where the great white surges
Dashed their foaming heads in glee
or IN ournfully chanted dreary dirges,
youthful pair rode merrily.
She with her hair like golden glory,
And blushing cheek like a rlpened peach,
Listened with smiles to the old, old story,
Her lover whispered that night on the beach.
What cared they for the radiant splendor
or tinted clouds, or OF sunset skies?
The seas soft music was not so tender
As his voice or the light or her sparkling eyes
What to them was the bright commotlon.
or emerald waves on rocky shore?
Dearer by far was the thought OF LIES ocean
Which they'd sail together forevermore.

The bands in the Vile Reale of Naples
have been accustomed to play the Royal
March whenever the Mayor was known to
have entered that public garden, The
Mayor thought it good joke, it was humor-
ously commented on by the city officials,
reached the court circles, and finally came
to the Kings ears. Some time later when
Victor Emanuel was requested to recommend
petition to the Council of Naples, he ad-
dressed it, "To His Majesty the Mayor of
Naples.

Dom Pedro and Victor Hngo.


The following is a new anecdote about
the emperor of Brazil
He recently paid visit to Victor Hugo,
in France. After long interview, in which
the two celebrities conversed upon divers
| topics, the emperor asked permission of the
poet to repeat his visit, requesting him to
| fix day. 81 receive my friends every day"
said Hugo, politely, "and we have dinner
at eight o'clock"
| After the lapse of some days, one evening
at about half-past seven o'clock the door
bell of the poets house was rung, and gen.
tleman in dress coat and white cravat pre-
sented himself "Whom shall announce"
said the servant "Dom Pedro de Braganza,"
replied the visitor. Asyet there was nobody
in the parlor. The host was informed of the
arrival
81 have come to dine with you," said the
emperor, in democratic style.
Soon the guests sat down to table. The
repast was charming. Dom Pedro gave
some very curious travelling impressions.
Victor Hugo, for his part, spoke with that
simplicity so full of warmth of which those
who have not the honor of being intimate
with him have no idea. When the emperor
took leave of his host-it was rather late
the latter said to him, smiling with his fine
and arch smile: "Sire, could not possibly
tell you how happy am that we have no
sovereigns like you in Europe" And why?'
said Dom Pedro. "Because," replied Vic
tor Hugo, ''both myself and my friends
would be very much puzzled to find any
thing bad to say of them"
Dom Pedro burst out laughing, and took
leave of his friend like good-natured and
3 sensible man.
