An exchange says there is a man out
west so dirty that the assessors put him
down as real estate. This reminds us
Of the soldier who. while home on
furlough during the war called on the
wife of brother soldier to tell her the
latest news. "Ah," said she, " perhaps
by this time poor Jimmy's under the
soil of Virginia. Perhaps SO, replied
the visitor; she was an inch under it
when | last saw him."

mist crept upward along the hills He
looked toward the cliff; all was quiet
there He looked toward Husaby farm,
and then he jumped into the boat and
rowed around the slip
Upon the cliff, before the hut, sat AS
laugh, her days work done. The
thought that since Tore could not
come, all the more would other people
come, and she let loose the dog and
strolled away. She satwhere she could
look down into the valley, but there
stood the mist and somehow she did
not like either to look down there Just
now Then she moved away and with
outany more thought she came and
sat on the opposite side of the cliff,
where she could look down over the
ford. There came peace to her from
the long view of the water
While she was sitting there She
thought she should like to sing, and she
chose song with long notes and a
burden. which foated far away into the
calm evening. She found that she
Liked to hear herself sing, and When
she came to the end of the first verse,
she began the second With louder voice.
But when she had sung that verse it
seemed to her as if somebody was
answering from far below. "Dear me,
what can that hep she thought, stepped
out on the uttermost ledge, and threw
her arms around tall birch tree which
stood there and trembled over the
abyss. She looked downward but she
saw nothing. The ford lay quietly
asleep; not a bird was stirring. She
sat down again and took up her song.
but this time somebody answered with
the same tune and much nearer. AS
laugh sprang up and leaned once more
over the ledge Then she saw a boat
moored at the foot of the cliff, but SO
far below that it looked like a nut shell.
She drew the eyes upward and caught
sight of red cap climbing the naked
wall. "Who can that be-" she asked,
and made a long leap backward She
dared not answer for she knew full we'll
who it was. She threw herself down
on the green sward and took hold of
the grass with both her hands, as if it
were she who must not miss the grasp
The roots loosened; she shrieked,
thrust her hands into the sod and
prayed to God Almighty to help him.
Then she felt that this was truly to try
God, and could net be expected to be
granted. "But only this time" she
burst out, 3" help him, Oh only this
one time - She clasped the dog as if
it were Tore she would hold fast, rolled
with it over the green sward, and
thought that these minutes would never
come to an end. Hl s.w
But suddenly the dog sprang up,
started toward the ledge, wagged his
tail, and barked; turned back to AS
laugh: jumped with his fore-paws into
her lap and barked; twisted round
again and barked with frantic restless
ness, while a red cap rose above the
ledge, and Tore leaped to her bosom.
There he lay for a..whole minute.
Neither of them spoke, and when they
began to talk there was not much wit
in what they said. Eaa
But old Junt, when he heard about it
said a word that was not unwitty. He
threw his fist down on the table. and
Numbered through the room, "There

Can the mother forget her infant child !?
Ask that mother who parted from hers
an hour ago how often since her heart
has gone home to the snowy, nest. where
the songless bird lies sleeping. Ask the
come over the face of her child years
ago, how many hours have passed since
that day in which she has failed to think
of that last bitter moment when the
loved voice ceased and the light in the
gentle eyes went out, and she found
herself bending over the dead Who
has not heard the sad story of the mo-
Their, with husband and child, attempt
ing to cross the Green Mountains in
midwinter? Their progress was arrested
by night and the storm. The husband
went for help, but lost his way in the
darkness and the drifting snow and was
long in returning. The motherf felt the
chill Of death coming upon her, but she
barred her bosom to the freezing blast,
and the falling snow that she might
give all that remained of her own life
to save that of her child. And when
the morning came the living babe
was found wrapped in the mothers
shawl, vainly striving with smiles and a
babes pretty arts to arrest the attention
of her fixed and frozen eye, and Won
dering why she did not wake from her
cold sleep. So much stronger than
death is the love that binds the mo-
theirs heart to her babe. And yet God
SAYS that the mother shall sooner forget
her infant child than he will forget
single soul that trusts in Him.
BY an ingenious instrument the Royal
Observatory, Greenwich, has been able
to register the exact number Of hours
of sunshine during last year. In the
twelve months ending February TO- the
sun was above the horizon at London
4454 hours; the amount of sunshine
during this time only 1851 hours;
that is, the Londoners ahaye had only
20 per cent of the sunshine they<were
entitled to according to the .astrono-
mers. The. winter months received
very little, January only 50 -hours, Feb
ruary only 40 hours, December only
81 hours. In january and February
there were fourteen days in which
there was no sunshine, and IL Decenl-
Der 16 days. Although November. had
only 81 hours of sunshine, there were
only days when it did not have some

HEAVEN help the man who imagines
| that he can dodge enemies by striving
TO please everybody. If such an indi-
vidual ever succeeded, we would be
glad Of jt-not that one should be going
through the world trying to find beams
to knock and thunder his poor head
/ against, disputing every mans opinion,
/ fighting, clawing and crowding all who
differ with him. That, again, is another
extreme. Other people have right to
their opinions, SO have you. Don't fall
into the error of supposing that they
will respect you more for turning your
coat every day to match the color of
theirs. Wear your own coat in spite. of
wind and weather, storm and sunshine.
It costs the vaclllating and irresolute
ten times the trouble to wind and shuttle
and twist that it does honest, manly in
dependence to stand its ground.

Holy hours come som etimes to all
of us, freighted with love, when life
seems worth living, and we feel pro-
found rest. But the inexorable current
carries us on, yet we occasionally turn
back and are encouraged by the
knowledge that there are such mo-
ments in life; which strengthen us in
our weakness and comfort us in our
sorrow. 1t is not to be expected that
we shall forever remain on the eleva-

whose charge no cautious man would
trust valuable horse or dog.
The latest case in point comes from the
Illinois State Prison at Joliet A con-
Wet by the name of Reed began
yelling and shouting few days
since under circumstances that
would have suggested to any
sensible person that he required medical
attention. Instead thereof, however, he
was gagged. When the gag was removed
he resumed his screams. The gag was
then replaced and he was severely
whipped. 1t is alleged that this treat
ment was repeated three times-the pa
tient becoming more vociferous on each
removal of the gag. This brutal disci-
pline continued until the man fell dead
under the lash, with the gag in his
mouth.
There have been a great many things
done in Bulgaria, report of which has
filled the civilized world with horror and
indignation. The sportive Bashi-Bazouk,
tossing children from bayonet to bayonet,
and gratifying their brutal lusts upon
young girls, has rendered himself
obnoxious to the moral sentiment of man.
kind, even though his acts have been per-
petrated under the exciting stimulus of
war, which stultifies all feelings of hui
manity. But the Bashi-Bazouk of the
American penitentiary, reformatory or
asylum can plead in mitigation Of his in
fernal villainy no such exciting cause.
His ferocity is expended upon his de-
fenseless victims with safety to himself,
in the absolute security of official power,
where every act of his not dictated by the
direct or ultimate good of his ward or
charge shows his utter unftness for his
position.
In the Joliet case referred to the least
intelligent examination would have
shown that the man Reed was laboring
under an acute attack of cerebral infam-
nation, and should have been sent to the
hospital. Instead of that he was gagged
and hammered to death, and the faint
demand for an official investigation, if
granted, will, as in so many other cases,
end in the consumption of a good deal of
whisky and champagne, and the use of a
small pot of official whitewash.
