Giving Him a New Skin.
Auburn Advertiser

A boy named Frank Hanafn, who had
been injured in a saw-mill the other day
was supplied with a new skin by taking
pieces from the arms of eight or nine
other boys A large and ugly wound
was made on his back, the surface being
one mass of red, quivering flesh, though
healthy in appearance. The wound, Of
course, was very sensitive, and the oper-
alton must have been quite painful tc
him. Drs. Picot and Maynard and an
assistant performed the operation Six
or eight Irish boys were gathered around
the bed, from eight to fifteen years OF
age, from whose arms had been taken, OF
was to be taken, the skin needed to re-
place that which was lost.
AS each boy was called on by the doc
tor, he came forward and barring his arm
a small piece of skin was skillfully cut
out with the lancet, and gently placed
upon the raw flesh. About thirty pieces
in all were so put on. Several of the
boys gave up more than one piece, and
Folger Picot, the doctors son, contribu-
ted eight pieces. A younger brother of
Hanafin gave nearly as many.
While the operation was going on, the
boys joked among themselves on helping
to make up Hanafn, and bantered each
other on the number of times they had
submitted to be cut for the benefit of
their playmate. The boys were general
ly very willing to give the skin required
but after awhile they evidently began to
think that enough was as good as a
feast, and moved out of doors, watching
operations through the window 1t is
thought, however, that enough will con
sent to give skin, so that Hanafin' S
wound will be entirely covered over,
thus Fastening his recovery, and adding
to his comfort when the wound shall
have healed.

Unmistaken Testimony.

Matthew Arnold, in reply to certain
invectives against popular Christiani-
ty," employed by Prof Clifford and 9th
er free-thinkers, says: But these are
merely the cracking fireworks Of youth
full paradox One reads it all, half sigh
ing, half smiling, as the defamation of
clever and confident youth, with the
hopeless inexperience, irredeemable by
any cleverness, of his age. Only when
one is young and headstrong can one
thus prefer bravado to experience, can
one stand by the Sea of Time, and in
stead of listening to the solemn and
rhythmical beat of it's waves, choose to
fill the air with ones own whoopings to
start the echo. But the mass of plain
people hear such talk with impatient in
dignation, and flock all the more eagerly
to Messrs. Moody and Sankey. They
feel that the brilliant free-thinker and
revolutionist talks about their religion,
and yet does not know either that, or
the great facts of human life; and they
go to those who know them better And
the plain people are not wrong. Com
pared with Professor Clifford, Messrs.
Moody and Sankey are masters of the
philosophy of history. Men are not
mistaken in thinking that Christianity
has done them good, in loving it, in
wishing to listen to those who will talk
to them about what they love, and will
talk of it with admiration and gratitude,
not contempt and hatred. Christianity
is truly, as in Literature and Dogma |
have called it, the greatest and happi-
est stroke ever yet made for human per-
lection. Men do not err, they are on
firm ground of experience, when they
say that they have practically found
Christianity to be something incompara-
bly, henefcent" "

Married after an Hours COurtship.

In the I'd Ward of this city, says the
Adrian Mich) Times, there resided last
week, middle-aged widow, well pre-
served and highly respectable. In the
country, short distance from Adrian
at the same time, lived widower, well
preserved, little more than middle
aged, wealthy farmer, with all the
comforts of life except wife. One day
last week he drove to town an elegant
span of horses, attached to handsome
carriage, and drove to the widows resi-
dence in the I'd Ward. Widow and wild
over had never seen each other. They
were introduced, went out for q drive
together, returned Il little after noon
took dinner, went out for another drive
returned later in the afternoon man and
wife. But little over an hours court
ship sufficed. They had never, before
that day, seen or written to each other
but each knew the others name, rep.
utation and desires, through mutual
friends. The widower was wealthy and
lonely; the widow poor and hard-work

He carefully examined the big toe of
his left foot and the heel of his right
foot and gloomily observed:

sending this boy to school, He looks
stout and healthy, but he's mere shad-
der. The close atmosphere of the school
room will kill him before the snow

The boy rose up. There was grin all
over his face, and he chuckled:
Palpitation is the keynote! A sore
toe can be seen-a palpitating heart is
hidden away under fat, hide and ribs

Getting Ready for School.
Detroit Free Press.

"The cause Of education be hanged" +"
he muttered, as he sat down on the
curbstone, on Shelby street, yesterday.
He was lad of 13. He spat through
his front teeth, and spat often. His
pants were supported by piece of wire
clothes line, girted around his waist, his
hat was ancient and greasy, and his big
fat feet seemed TO be waiting for a
thunder shower to wash them clean.
That's what ails mel" he went on,
as he pushed his toes into the wet
sand.

He rose up to throw stone at dog
across the street, and, after resumine

A Tramp's MaXims.

In the hip-pocket of an old vagrant,
pulled in by the police the other night,
was memorandum book full of his own
writing with pencil, and some of his
philosophy is good enough to be preserv-
ed.
His first paragraph reads:
Drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free, is like getting in the way of
bullets purchased by an enemy
A second reads:
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with second best.
1t is hard to be honest on an empty
stomach"
A third runs:
"A dry plank under a rain-proof shed
Is better than a feather-bed in jail, and
one isn't annoyed by the jailor bringing
in square breakfast"
A fourth says:
Pay as you go. If you haven't any
thing to pay with, don't go. If you are
forced to go, record every indebtedness,
and let your heirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains:
We should have charity for all.
When the winter winds blow cold and
drear we vags should pity the poor fel-
lows in India who are having red-hot
weather.
A sixth is recorded:
POllteness costs nothing, but it is
not expected that you will wake man
up at midnight to ask permission to 90
through his hen-house. 1t is more cour-
teous to let him enjoy his needed re-
pose"
The seventh and last was noted down
as follows:
When you pick up an apple-core, do
not find fault with it because it is not
the apple itself, but be satisfied with the
grade of descent Do not be ashamed of
your occupation. We cannot all be
Lords, nor can we all be vagrants. As
| cannot be a Lord | should not lament
at being vagrant Be truthful and
outspoken-that is, tell 'em you are

hours, or some other vag Will get your
plank first. Be hopeful, cheerful and

He Wouldn't Die.
Burlington Hawkcyc.

A tender-hearted man out on Oak
street, who had dog that was eating
him out Of house and home, gave the
animal a pint of laudanum, to kill it.
And the dog chased cows, and children,
and sucked eggs and killed chickens all
afternoon, as usual, and at eventide the
tender r-hearted man supplemented the
dose of laudanum with some 81 grains of
morphine. Then the dog lay down to
sleep, and he dreamed that he was a
ditching machine operating on the Tex
as Pacific Railroad, and had a whole
mountain range to level before October,
and when the tender-hcarted man arose
one morning, he was horrifed to see that
the Hell Gate explosion had just got as
far as his garden, and just as he counted
the nineteenth hole that was big enough
to bury a COW in, looked up and saw the
faithful dog escorting runaway horse,
part OF a grocery wagon and long
bill of damages, down the neighboring
street

The New Mormon President.

President Taylor was born in England
in 1916, espoused the Mormon faith
abroad and joined the brethren at Nau-
VOC. He became prominent in the fight
at Carthage, Missouri, June 9th, 1874
in which Joseph and Hyrum Smith were
killed, where he was seriously wounded,
and gradually progressed to the leader
ship of the Apostles. He is determin-
ed fanatic, fully in accord with the ad-
vanced spirits Of the hierarchy. In per-
sonal appearance he is tall, burly and
bustling During the war with the South
he was noted for his disloyal utterances
and defiance of Federal authority. He
resides in Salt Lake City, where for
years he has been an earnest expounder
Of the Mormon faith, and has a large
family. In secular occupation, for with
them all the leaders of the church are
engrossed in business, he has mining in
terests of considerable value.

The Value OF Cheerfulness.

| hold the deepest and most unquali-
fed respect for any person who is habit
ually cheerful.
Though he be plain to uglincss and
ignorant to boorishness, or though he be
as poverty stricken as the proverbial
Jobs turkey" if he is naturally and
thoroughly and heartily cheerful, he has
more of the true principle of earthly
happiness than was ever extracted from
the mines of Ophir
Under Dickens pen the irrcpressible
Micawber becomes hero and philoso-
pher, not from any marked achievements
of talent, but purely from the mans su-
preme ability to face the most huniliat-
ing reverses with the same serene, un
ruffled exterior.
What sugar is to coffee, so is cheer
full man to the neighborhood in which
he lives. While the society of which he
is only single member is self-sustain-
ing and independent without him, it is
much the better for being generally fla
vored by his influence. And who does
not know all about the world of good "
it does us, when score of small annoy
ances set in tide against us, to hear
the hearty laugh and look into the
wholesome face of our cheerful neigh
Dor.
A talented author once said that "a
cheerful disposition was more essential
than talent" a sweeping assertion, but
who admires talent in human porcu-
pine? Soundly sensible people prefer
less talent and more geniality.
The man who entertains you for an
hour with statement of his colds and
his headaches, his losses and crosses, and
ends with an excruciating report from
the dyspeptic locality, is invariably a
sullen, grumbling misanthrope.
Beyond a doubt laughter is healthy
Whenever we are thoroughly pleased,
we are, in measure, nourished Hence
the old maxim; Laugh and grow fat. !"
All really healthy people are likely to
be good humored and good humored peo-
pie are quite as likely to be strong in
spirit.
Kind words and smiles and genial
greetings and good wishes, are seeds
that thrive and bear fruit each after it's
own kind.
Cheerfulness is like the widows mea-
sure of meal, the more spent the more
remains, and both the receiver and giver
are enriched.
