A Funny Fence.

Mr.. Choate, who lived on farm
down in Massachusetts, wanted new
fence round the home lot. So he
called his carpenter and had a talk
with him about the work, and the next
time he went to Boston he got his
architect to make rough sketch,
showing the idea Of how he desired
the frame 10 be built. On the day ap-
pointed for the work to begin, Mr..
Choate was summoned away. Just
as he was about to start, the carpenter
appeared, and Mr.. Choate pulled the
plan out of his vest pocket, and Lurri.
eddy delivered it, and then drove off
to catch the train. Returning after
an absence Of two weeks, on approach.
ing his house, he was filled with
amazement and led to doubt whether
he knew where he lived his home
was surrounded by a zigzag fence, of
the most extraordinary design. When
he saw the old carpenter pounding
Justify away, he felt treasured as to
the identity Of the place, but most
puzzled by the marvellous fence.
"Hello !" he shouted "What ale
you doing ?"
"Doln'!" said the old carpenter,
smashing in d tenpenny nail with one
blow. "We're dom some pretty tall
work. We've just slung this fence
together in little less time than any
similar slingin' was ever doue in this
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We
are two days ahead of our contract
now y
"But for heavens sake what kind
of fence is this ?"
Don't know. Thought when you
gi me the pan it was the darndest
fence l ever heard Of, but I supposed
you knew what you wanted"
"Plan !" said Rufus, "plan? Let
me see the plan i and when tho car.
penter handed it oyer the fence, Mr..
Choate realized that in his haste he
had felt in the wong pocket, and
handed him, not the plan, but note
in lis own handwriting.

The Average Man of General InfOr-
nation.

The average Man Of General Infor-
nation is somewhat peculiar, and is
found in various quantities in every
community. We meet him on the
cars, and find one or two of him in
every hotel. You can seldom tell him
by his appearance, but if he speaks,
you recognize him at once by his style
of conversation. The moment you
speak to him about anything, he COM
mences to give you information. You
can't stop him, nor refer to any sub
ject upon which he he is not through
ly convinced he is well posted.
He seems to be passionately fond of
asking you how you would prove that
we exist, or that we are not all insane,
and if you acknowledge your inability
to oblige him, he darkly insinuates
that there are serious doubts entertain
ed by some philosophers in regard to
the existence of the human race, and
that it is believed by some, that if
mankind Ldoes actually exist, it is
quite probable that the entire race is
insane.
Ifyou undertake to ventilate any
pet theory of your own, he breaks in
upon you in such manner that you
are subdued at once, and give you the
information you were about to show
him you were possessed of; and does
it in way which leaves no room for
doubt that be believes he is lmparting
knowledge which is new TO you
lfyou converse with him upon pc.
litical matters you are promptly made
to feel that in his opinion you are
sadly ignorant, and that you are NOR
ally bound to appear grateful to him
for the vast amount of valuable intor-
maticn he imparts. If you agree
with him upon any public question,
and undertake to give reasons for your
belief, he comes down upon you like
an avalanche with "Well, yes, that's
true enough, but the main point is SO
and so" or the fact that Julius Caesar
or somebody else did Or said this Or
that, or the result Of something he
finds in history is the convincing and
important argument that should be
used.-Fom New Dominion Monthly,

GEMS.
GATHERED FoR THE AaR.l

Who gives trihe meanly is
mcaner than the trife.
TITS y mercy to have that taken
from us which takes us from God.
Man without religion is creature
of circumstances ; religion is above

above them.
Men rather trust to their eyes
than their ears the effect Of precepts
is, therefore. slow and tedious, whilst
that of example is summary and ef-

Self trust is the essence of hero

In the morning, we carry the
world, like Atlas at noon, we stoop
and bend beneath it; and at night, it
brushes us flat to the ground.

Stole His Own Cow.

At meeting of the Vermont asso-
citation Of Chicago the other night,
Prof A. d. Hagar, formerly State &c.
ologist of Vermot, said: II will re
late, in closing this FIVE minutes tall,
an incident that occurred in my native
town, Chester, as related to me by
my good old mother, then over 80, al
so native Of the town. Among the
dozen men who formed the first set
tlement of the town in l764, then
called Hamstead, was man by the
name of Idle. He was not favorite
with the people for reason that he was
suspected Of dishonesty. In the fall
Of 1865, he submitted proposition to
his neighbor, Charles Mann, that they
60 down to Rockingham, town that
had been settled about y dozen years,
and steal COW from some of the set
tiers, drive or lead it up to Chester,
butcher it, and divide the carcass and
each take home his half tor his winter
supply of beef Mr.. Mann assented
to the proposition, and night was ap-
pointed in which they would do the
work. Mr.. Ide owned cow--a black
COW with large white spot upon the
head and white leg. This, like 9TH
er COWS in the settlement, was suffered
to run at large in the woods, and wore
a large cow.bell. After dark the two
men started on foot for place in
Rockingham designated by Ide as
likely to furnish the coveted COW. Ar
irving near the spot they heard the
sound Of cow-bells, and, going in that
direction, found a COW without bell,
"a red COW, as Mr.. Mann said, for red
COWS always look black In the night,)
caught her, led to Chester (and a
splendid COW she was to lead,) butch.
cred her, buried the hide and offal, di.
yided the meat, and each went to his
home with his moiety Of stolen beet.
Mann did not eat any Of his, but kept
it, and ultimately gave it all to Ide. 1t
was not likely, he thought, that his
COW would lose off her bell, get her
white spot obliterated by rubbing
against logs in the burnt piece and
and wander off six miles to another
settlement. He believed that his
neighbors had conspired to make him
steal his own COW, and wisely con-
cluded that Chester was good place
to emigrate from, and therefore emf
grated early"

Boys is strange things. Boys is Of
three kinds-the baby boy, the little

baby boy cause he squalls and kicks,
and have to rock him with cradle.
If the big boy Or the little one squalls
and kicks can rocks him with stones.

candy and gives me some. l like the
big boy when it SHOWS, cause he can

little man-if he behaves hisseli, and
if he don't he's a little devil that's
what mother said brother Bob was
t'other day, when he told old Miss
Smith that mother said she was an old
bore. My papa said he was \ little
boy once, but mother says she wasn't,
and she wishes papa was little boy
some more. Sister Julia says she
don't like boys, and when / saw her
and Tom Brown setting in the same
rocking chair a Sunday night, she
said she was a trying to squeeze the
life out of him, cause she didn't like
him but / don't think she was hurt
ing any place, for he wouldn't let her
get up. This is all | know about
boys, and mother says she hopes I
won't never know any more about EN-.
