A Tale OF "a BVunderbuss.

sHtt Oh a. biusaUSsDusSs
The writer of this was born in q
house in the far west of Ireland.
NV father was what was then call
ed a surveyor--now heightened, |
believe, into civil engineer. His
employment was to me mysterious
and delightful. While l and my
brothers were cooped up at home,
learning our lessons, getting into
scrapes, and being whipped, he
rode gaily off TO the office in town.
How pleasant it was to be man.
No learning of lessons, no whip
pings or tears, no gettingi into scrapes
nothing to do but to please ones
self; and yet, strangely enough,
father often seemed to me as pale,
and careworn, and weary, as If he
had but just finished "getting off,
fifty verses, and was afraid the
strap would be his reward.
AS l grew bigger, the desire to
know more OF the great town, lying
80 near and yet 80 far, became so
strong that I was ever dingipg il
into my fathers ears. Why could
I not go to town as he did? Why
could not | at least go with him
inst once or twicel II he would
only let me go, I would be 40
good. would give him no more
trouble of any kind. l could ride
behind him on the pony, and would
not bother him so much as even to
see that sat safely. / would at
tend to all that myself. "a
Great was my JOY when he one
day at last consented to my wish
Yes, rather than he worried by me
any longer, l might accompany
bim to town. And as he had given
in, the sooner he was over with ths
Job the better. So tomorrow. the
market day, the one chief day o.
all the seven, was to be the day or

McCabe occupies the whole Of the store and

on this coast, having been now over fifteen
years In the business, and like most OF our

finds nothing to complain Of in the amount
Of business he Is doing. Mr.. McCsbe carries
a stock of over $4,000 worth Of Dressed

GONE BETTER" THAN CREMATION
Elder Evans, the local leader of the
Shakers, is urging plan for utilizing
the dead" by burying them about twenty
feet apart and planting tree over each
one, so that the battle-ground will in a
few years become beautiful grove or
profitable piece of woodland, instead of
q collection of stone memorials of doubt
full artistic merit. He has plea of
Justice at the foundation of his scheme,
that, as every man during his life and his
ancestors before him have had their sus-
tenance from the elements and prOduc-
lions of the earth, he should be willing
in his death to contribute to the support
of those Who come after him. The plan
has already been carried out on small
scale IT New Lebanon, n. Y, where Il
burial ground that had become crowded
was graded of and planted with ever
green's, all marks Of the sub~oil occu-
pants Of the lot being obliteraied. The
plan assusges some~ hat the grief At the

Culture of the Memory.

The student lamenting his lack of abil-
ity to remember his lessons, and, jealous
of another who spends only half the time
which he employs in their preparation,
sees that his rivals memory always serves
him in the recitation room, may take en-
couragement from the following, con-
densed from the Philadelphia Public
LEDGER:
It is common idea that good men,
ory is a ready.msde gift, which Nature
whimsically confers upon some and with
holds from others. Now. the truth is
that the memory is faculty, which, as
much as any other, needs development.
Like all other powers, the memory il
strengthened and developed by exercise,
and weakened by disease. In whatever
direction we make constant demands
upon it, it responds obediently. The same
attention which we bestow on our daily
business, and which enables US to recall
its details with SO much ease, will be
equally effective if exercised in other
meters. To strengthen the memory on
any given point, the first requisite is to
bring all our mental energy to bear upon
it. We are charged with some message
or commission, perhaps, which we prom
Use in all good faith to convey or 70 exc
cute; but not being in the line of our
thoughts. it passes out of our minds and
is unfultilled. We commonly excuse our.
selves for such dereliction, on the ground
that we are unable, by any effort of the
will, to command the power of memory.
Yet had we, by strong self-control, fixed
our attention wholly upon the matter
when presented to us, had we dismissed
all wandering thoughts and concentrated
our mental energies for the time upon
that one thing, the impression would have
been SO strong that, in all probability, it
would have been remembered and accom-
plished. The mental concentration is the
first and most important means of i'm.
proving the memory. 1t is largely with
in our own powers of will to enforce this,
and he who is conscious of neglect in this
respect cannot claim to he excused for
fOrgetfulness.
Another valuable method of training
the memory 10 through the laws of asso-
citation. Our knowledge must be arranged
and classified if We would recall it with
facility. We must base rulos upon prin-
ciples, and effects upon causes, if We
would imprint them firmly on our minds.
That this is not done With sufficient thor

A Law Which Licenses a Man Who I'm.
bibes WhiSkev.

The liquor law just passed by the
Oregon legislature will take the
palm Of boldness and originality Of
conception among the many extra~
ordinary performances in that line.
It is q license law, but instead OF
licensing sellers, it proposes to L.
cense consumers. Every man who
intends to drink intoxicating liquors
is required to pay five dollars for q
license to do so. This no must
show to the saloon ksspor every
time he wants to get O drink, and
the latter il forbidden under sharp
penalties to soil TO any one not hav-
ing licence to drink. Those hav-
ing licence, may got az drunk as
they can. There is q freedom and
direotness about the operation OF
this which challenges admiration.
The object Of all liquor laws is con-
fessedly to get at the consumer and
eject him, but a. rule, through a
lingering sentiment Of respect for
private liberty, which even prohibi-
tionists can not quite extinguish in
their bosoms, this end is sought in.
directly by roundabout way, and
the consumer is attacked thro' the
dealer. But the Oregon intellect
tolerates no teohnicalities and hair-
splitting distinctions Of this sort,
Recognizing that the consumer is
the ultimate object in view, it goes
for him and let's the dealer alone.
Certain members OF the community
persons, presumably, who have tough
constitutions and no friends, and
who can give bonds not to be char
|ges on the town poor rats, are liz
oensed under public seal to gel
drunk with impunity, but everybody
else must remain sober.
