The Shadow of an ASS,

The Greeks had proverb that runs
thus: "To dispute on the shadow of an
ass" This took rise from an anecdote
which Demosthenes is said to have re-
lated to the Athenians to excite their
attention during his defense of a crimi-
nal which was being but inattentively
listened to. "a traveller" he said, 'once
went from Athens to Megara on hired
ass. 1t happened to be at the time of
the dog days, at noon. He was much
exposed to the unmitigated heat of the
sun, and not finding SO much as a bush
under which to take shelter, he be-
thought himself to descend from the ass
and seat himself under its shadow. The
owner of the donkey, who accompanied
him objected to this, declaring to him
that when he let the animal the use of
its shadow was not included in the bar
gain. The dispute at last grew so warm
that it got to blows, and finally gave rise
to an action at law" After having said
so much, Demosthenes continued the
defense of his client; but his auditors,
whose curiosity he had piqued, were
anxious to know how the Judges decided
on so singular a cause. Upon this the
orator commented severely on their
childish iniustices in devouring with at
tention paltry story about an ass shad-
ow, while they turned a deaf ear to a
cause in which the life of a human being
was involved. From that day when a
man showed a preference for discussing
small and contemplate subjects to great
and important ones he was said ito dis
pute on the shadow of an ass"

A JudSe's Advice,

Judge Davis, of New York, in sentenc-
ing Joseph P. Wall to fifteen years i'm
prisonment for kicking his wife to death,
said that the prisoner must have been
intoxicated when he bought the whisky
which encouraged the crime, and says
the children thus doubly orphaned could
bring suit against the liquor dealers for
damages sufficient to support them, and
advised Wall to take the proper steps for
such action. In closing, Judge Davis
said: 81 should rejoice to see such an
example made, for, in my judgment, and
believe in the eye of God as well as hU-
manity, the consequences which fall so
terribly on you, and vastly more on your
children, are traceable to the misconduct
of men who, for the paltry gain of few
glasses of liquor, deal it to men whom
they must know it will make still more
drunk and expose to terrible consequen-
ces,"

land, Ohio, turned up at Louisville re-
Gently, pennileSs, and had to beg a lodg-

from failure to receive money from the
groom's parents, who are wealthy.
The Russian nobility are numerous,
and, as a class, by no means rich. Pre-
vious to emancipation, about twenty
wears ago, a land proprietor was not
thought wealthy unless he possessed at
least five hundred serfs. But only S,SO3
proprietors had more than that number
while IL 900 had less than twenty-one.
Judge Yellott's acquittal on the charge
of drunkenness, while on the Supreme
Court bench, in Baltimore, was wholly

counts in the Indictment were stricken
out because they related to intoxication
more than year ago, ard those that
charged recent intoxication did not al
lege that it was while in the discharge
of his official duties.

Seeing statuette broken into a dozen
pieces, he asked the price. The sales
man said it was worthless, but he could
have it for the cost Of packing in box.
He sent it to the lady with his card, con-

BREAD AND CHEESE.

1met my love in the summer;
The breeze blew from the south,
Sweet with the breath of the clover:
kissed her little mouth;
But told my pet full plainly,
AS gave her hand a squeeze,
"pve lots of love for you, darling,
But not much bread and cheese"
But then she showed her dimples,
The blue ewes seemed to shine;
Her head was on my shoulder,
The little lips sought mine;
She said, I am not hungry,
And summer time is here;
Who cares for bread and cheese, lover
want the kisses, dear"

The first thing is to make your ser
mon plain. Mr.. Bloomfield preached on
the text, ''Ihe fool hath said in his
heart There is no God." Wishing to
find out how it pleased his people, he
called a poor, foolish man to the pulpit
and asked him how he liked the sermon.
The reply which made Bloomfield sad
der and wiser man was: "Well, sir, I
must say can't agree with you. In spite
of all you've said, think there must be
a God"
Talk about female curiosity-it's all
one-sided. Let one man stop on the
street to spell out a sign on the top of a
high building, and every other mothers
son that goes by will stand and stare
for ten minutes trying to make out what
the first idiot is looking at.
"A farm hand for harvesting is paid
