Shepherds Dogs.

The following is from Scotchman, by
way of illustrating the kindly considera-
ton evinced by the Scottish peasantry
toward the domestic animals, especially
the shepherds to their dogs, which, consc-
quently become their attached companions
A minister calling to visit one of his flock
found before the fireplace three dogs, ap-
parently asleep. At the sound of Whistle
two rose up and walked out; the third re-
naming still.
ut is odd," said the minister, "that
this dog does not get up like the other
two" :
: " It's no astonishin' ava" said the shep-
herd; "for it's no his turn; he was cot i
the mornin'"
A gentleman staying in the family of a
sheep-farnler remarked that daily as the
family sat at dinner a shepherd s dog came
in, received its portion, and soon after dis
appeared. ..'..'
- never see that dog except at dinner, !"
said the visitor n. =
81 " The reason is" said the farmer, "wc'ye
lent him to oor neibour, jamie Nicol, an
we tell him to come hame ilka day to his
dinner: When he gets his dinner, puir
beast, he gaes away back till his wark."

"a THING OF BEAUTY"

." A thing OF beauty what? A lovely flower
But see, beneath the heavy dropping shower
Its fair leaves fall, its day Of beauty gone,
And nothing Lett to hide it's secret thorn.
"A thing Of beauty what? A soft moon
The dark ming cloud dispels it like dream.
A happy bird that MARBLES on the wing?
The sportsman's shetland it hath ceased to
sing.
=. thing Of hcauty''-what? A human face?
a human form with every motion grace?
Disease will change the warmest blush to
Where then are the eternal joys that spring
from the bright vision Of some beauteous
Deep, deep within the heart the treasure lies,
And We can still gaze on with closed eyes.
rIis thus tho pictures Of the long ago
heep fresh and fair, though we're no longer
SO.
Ills thus some little, dry, and time-brown'd
flower
Brings back tho beauty Of some past sweet
y hour.
And SO another beam from yonder moon,
Another bird-song in another June,
May take US back to youths bright fairy land
Where things of beauty sprang from golden
And if a hap py face must lose its light,
The active form ropose one long dark night,
Yet the most beauteous of created things,
The soul, may mount above on angel wings.
Here, then, may we possess undying joy,
II for Gods glory we our powers employ,
And find at last on blessed Heavens shore,
untadins beauty-joy forevermorc.

caught, fourished it over her head. She
felt bullet whiz by her shoulder; an
other struck her; but now the glare was
bright, and the train was close at hand.
She rushed toward it, waving her burning
dress. Thank Godl they saw her. The
train slackened its pace-it stopped. Men
with lanterns in their hands sprang from
it and hurried toward her. And the old
dress, burnt to finder, dropped to the
ground, and she sank beside it, the blood
flowing from a wound in her arm.
"They've killed me, I behave" she said

When she came to herself she was by
the roadside, and lights fell over her, and
she heard people talking of the hair
breadth escape they had had and of her
bravery.

woman. "You shall be rewarded Ny

And two great arms folded her close;

heaven.
1t might not be "great good luck" to
you to be flagman's wife, and live in
little cottage on the roadside, but Maggie
thinks it so.
"And oh, Patti" she often says, chow

Incidents Of the Southern Hotel Fire.

The New York Herald has an account
of what Chicago man who escaped the
fire saw, the details of which appear some
what imaginative. The following QUOTA
tons will illustrate:
A young man came out of room near
and shouted:
For Gods sake! where is my
mother?"
A voice came from the next room,
Henry! Henry!" The man threw him
self against the door and burst it open. A
mass of smoke and a hardly audible groan
was all that could be seen or heard The
man stood a moment appalled,, and then
raising one arm above his head he said,
Here, mother, where are you2" and he
disappeared. He was heard to fall, but
nothing could be seen. He never came
back. Two men followed him to win
dow which they raised and looked out.
Some men were trying to raise ladder,
but 1t would not reach. The strangers
bore heavy valise between them One
said:
"Well, we might as we'll have left
this dust in the hills. We are out of
luck"
Looking out they saw that at tho fourth
window to the right ladder had been
raised and the firemen were assisting the
people to descend. All three started off
in that direction. One of the strangers
said:
awe must leave the dust. There are
500 pounds of as clear gold as ever came
from the gulch at Rocky Bar; but it's
gone"
They hurried ON, and the speaker and
one of the men reached room where
were huddled several persons about
the window, all eager to escape. The
other stranger, a powerful man stopped at
the door and said:
"Bill, why didn't we drop that gold in
to the street? I'm going back to do it,
and he disappeared. The two went down,
but the one who returned for the gold was
seen no more. Mr.. Jennings reached the
street in safety, and saw several during
the awful hour that followed leap from the
upper windows to he crushed on the pave
ment below.
We thought that everything that it was
possible to say about "hash" had been
said, but here is another contribution: A
certain hostess, whose table is noted for its
uniformity OF dishes, has brisk daughter
who electrities her mas boarders with the
following parody sung to an accompani-
ment on a fifty dollar piano: "Whilc beef
steak and venison costs lots of cash, be it
ever SO grisly, there's nothing like hash;
the scrapings and leavings of no use else
where, when mixed altogether make ex-
cellent fare. Hash, hash. good meat hash!
Be it ever SO grisly. there's nothing like
hash A stranger from home, hotels dazzle
in vain; o, give me cheap eating house
food that's more plain; the waiter who
gayly re-echoes my call for nice plate of
hash or single fishball. Hash, hash,"
etc. t'5

Didn't Know His Business.

A well-known clergyman was
crossing Lake Erie many years ago
upon one of the steamers, and see
ing a small lad at the wheel steer
ing the boat, he accosted him as
follows:
"My son, you seem to be small
boy to steer so large a boat"
"Yes, sir; but you see can do
it though"
ado You think Won understand
your business, my son u"
eyes, sir; / think / do"
"Can you box the compass"
"Yes, sir"
"Let me hear you box it."
Boy boxes the compass.
"Well, really, You can do it.
Let me hear you box it backwards"
Boy boxes it backwards.
81 declare, my son, you do seem
to understand your business"
The boy now took his turn at
question asking.
spray, sir, what may be your
business!"
81 am a minister Of the gospel"
"Do you understand your bust
nessp
81 think l do, my son."
"Can you say the Lords Pray 2
Eyes"
"Say it,"
Clergyman repeats the prayer.
"Well, really, you do know it.
Now say it backwards
Clergyman says he cannot do it.
"You can't do it, ell Now you
see / understand my business q
great deal better than you do
yours"
Clergyman acknowledged him
self beaten and retired.

Printing and Journalism in
China.

A Chinese printing Office is a
greater curiosity than one would
think. The alphabet numbers way
into the thousands, and q cap and
lower case goes all the way around
the inside of a two story building,
and half way up the roof. 1t takes
an apprentice twenty years to learn
the case, and then he has to use a
step ladder to get at the higher
branches. A case was pied once in
Canton, and it took five days to re-
move the type from off the fore
man. They punctuate wherever
they can drop a dot, without re-
gard to the prospective. When
the editor coins word the printer
whites out new character with
his jack-knife. The journeyman
sets by the square foot, and never
belongs to a union. They do their
press work by hand and use box
ing gloves to ink the type. They
have one paper in the empire q
thousand years old, and the bound
volumes half fill pagoda. It ID
rumored that Bennett has started "a
edit that venerable paper. The
editors head is responsible for ali
items published in his paper, and
is taken off whenever an article Of
news is published. Not an editor
has been behesded In China for the
last Eve hundred years. The
Chinese have just invented q TWEEN.

Struck "A Bonanza.

A Decatur street grocer took ;
sugar-cured ham from his yellow
overcoat the other day, stuffed the
canvas with saw-dust and hung i
temptingly before his door as 4
sign.
Yesterday short-legged Jim came
along, and seeing the decoy, re-
membered that the old woman was
out of meat, and concluded that
he'd appropriate what he termed
the "big bonanza." Watching his
chance he soon had the yellow
fraud under his arm making for
home.
"Ole omen, hyar's a ham o. meat
l fetched YER he said, as he de-
posted his prize.
"Look hyar, niger, whar in the
name oh the Lam did yer fotch up
wild all dat ham p
Gas me no quichuns an I'll tell
yer no lies" said Jim evasively.
"Well it duz look sorter like ole
times ter see so much meet as dis
in de house. Clar to ERASMUS dat
man Hayes amt no sluch of
presumdent-am he Jim I"
"Shet yer fly trap, ole oman,
wot de debbil you know bout
Hayes Fotch me dem scissors an
les sample dis ham,"
The scissors cut two or three
and the sawdust began to
pour out. There were two dark
faces made darker by the revela-
ton, and it flashed through Jim's
mind that he hadn't struck such a
big bonanza after all.
"See hayr, Jim, pears ter me eff
l couldn't steal a shore huff ham /
wouldn't steal bag OBJ saw-dus' y
Then Jim went down town fully
satisfied that calls not gold that
glitters."

AT Leu Saint Benny, in Belgium,
an appalling sensation occurred. A
young man Of eighteen years, who
was believed to be dead was placed
in a coffin and buried. A great
number OF mourners accompanied
the funeral. One of them pro-
nounced a eulosium upon the char
acter OF the deceased, the usual
prayers were recited and the coffin
was lowered into the grave. The
grave-diggers had begun to fill il
In with clay when they heard sever
al knocks given from within the
coffin. Terrified, they ran to call
the curate and informed the Mayor
in the presence OF both of which
personages the coffin was opened
The unfortunate youth, who had
been buried alive while In a state
Of lethargy, had made desperate
efforts to break open the lid of the
coffin, but uselessly, and he had
died Of asphyxia.

A young man in Dubuque, Iowa,
went on Saturday night to coun-
try dance and did not return to
his home until the church bells
were ringing the next morning,
His father told him he must go to
meeting, and he went. Before the
minister had finished the opening
prayer the young reveler was sound
asleep and dreaming of the dance.
An old lady who sat next to him
touched his hand to arouse him,
whereupon he seized her waist and
shouted "All hands join hands and
circle to the left. Swing the girl
with the blue dress on"

On a late occasion q man was
charged at the Aston Police Court,
in England, with drunkenness. He
was seen by constables tumbling
about the road in q state of intoxi-
cation, and was taken into custody.
In defense he pleaded that he was
not intoxicated with drink, but
with gas. He explained to the
Bench that he was a gasfitter, and
having been engaged at work had
inhaled a quantity of gas. Instead
of taking some spirits as he usually
did under such circumstances, be
imprudently drank small quantity
Of beer. This, at the top of the
gas, reduced him to the condition
in which he was found by the pc,
lice. AS it was difficult to ascer.
tain which had made him drunk
the gas or the beer, the magistrates
gave him the benefit of the doubt
and discharged the case, cautionine
him, however, not to inhale toe
much gas in the future.
