Old Muse in Trouble.

We met "Old Nose" yesterday, and no.
ticed that there was dark cloud hover
ing over his Respondent brow.
whats the matter, Uncle9" we asked.
He shook his head as if he had nothing
left to live for, and said:
Use in a peck of trouble. De Lord
knows where dis heah is gwine to end
Use done glib it up"
"What is the trouble about2"
After several signs that seemed to
come up from the bottom of his boots,
he explained that he was the secretary of
the local colored lodge of Free Mascns
that he was the custodian of the books
that for keeping the books he was paid
by the lodge ten dollars a month; that
every Saturday night, after the lodge was
over, he carried the books home, and
turned them over to the sole oman, Aunt
Dinah,' for safe keeping, and she slowed
them away in her trunk, "along wild her
'fishal flowers, and fedders, and fnery,
and SIGH" He also stated that he had
forgotten to mention to Aunt Dinah that
he was receiving ten dollars a month for
keeping the books, and he had uniformly
forgotten to turn over to her the aforesaid
ten dollars, but had squandered the same
for his own little personal expenses; that
some unknown demon had informed
Dinah that Old Nose was getting ten
dollars for keeping the books, and conse-
quently, when he remarked the other
evening that it being time for him to go
to the lodge, and upon requesting her to
hand him out the books, instead of doing
so she sat down on the trunk, and posi-
lively refused to turn over the documents,
until he paid over the ten dollars. When
he told her the ten dollars were hisn
for keeping the books, she retorted /:
who's been keepin' dem ar booksl
Hasn't l been keepin' de books in de
trunk all de time? Han out dem funds
what's comin' to me for keepin' de books"
"What did you tell her, Mosea"
IL tole her | wanted dem books to keep
de minits in, dat she didn't know how to
keep de books, but she lowed she was
gwine to show me she knowed how to
keep de books, and, foah God she is a
kcepin' EN-. De lodge has pinted COM
mittee to investigate my accounts, and
dar she is squattin' on de trunk hodin'

wants ten dollars wutf of whitcwashin'

Not long afterward the war ended, and
Duke Arno Won Lindenburg took his
wife and children back to their own pal
ace; but, before leaving, the Duchess set
apart sum of money to be expended in
giving the village children every Easter a
feast of eggs. She instituted the custom
also in her own duchy, aud by degrees it
spread over the whole country, the eggs
being considered a SYMBOL OF redemption
OF dcliveraEcc from sin.
To this day children living in the coun
tiygo to tie woods just before Easter, and
return with their arms full of twiSs and
moss, cut of which they build nests and
houses, each child carefully marking his
own With his name. They are then hid
den behind stones and bushes in the gar
den, or, if the weather be cold in cor
ners, or under furniture in the house.
And on Easter morning what an excite
ment there is to see " hat the good little
hare has brought. Not only real eggs
boiled and colorcd, but sugar ones, too,
and often wooden ores that open like
boxes, disclosing, perhaps, pair of new
gloves or bright ribbon. He even
sometimes brings hoops and skipping
ropes, and generally his own etfigy in
dough or candy is found trying TO scam
per away behind the nest.-F. Z. Corne,

Self TortureS.

1t is difficult to realize that there exists
in our enlightened Republican land a
people SO barbarOus, SO saturated and
stepped in superstition and ignorance as
those Spanish residents of New Mexico,
of whom writers from time to time give
us such startling accounts, and whose
queer little villages dot the whole length
of Cucharas valley. Here, during the
penitential season, is enacted the real
tragedy. and not merely a theatrical rep
resentation of the Crucitixion with all its
attendant horrors. The details of these
fanatical ceremonies are sickeninS. The
poor wretches fast until theyare scarcely
able to stand, lash their naked bodies
until they resemble raw beef, and then,
having prolonged this torture for weeks,
upon the last great day, Holy Friday
they take upon their backs heavy wooden
crosses, and, if their strength holds out,
stumble along, lind-foldcd, TO "thc sum
nit of an arduous hill" Some fall ex-
hausted from the long season Of fasting
and torture and the loss of blood before
the height is reached. There the moan
ing penitents are bound to upright
crosses, the strong cords burying them
selves into the maDgled flesh. They
are left hanging here until life seems nj.
most eXtirct. Many, it is said, perish
under the torture, and are secretly buried.
Mrs Helen Hunt, resident at Colorado
Springs, and we'll known through the at
idntic, says: "In the spring of 1876 four
of these penitents, young men, died from
the effects of the tortures. One of them,
running for three days under the cactus
scourge lay all Easter night naked upon
the threshold of church. Easter morn
ing he WAS found there dead a cor
respondent has lately written the Phil.
Press full account of their horrible
usages and customs. The Laramie Senti
mel, the Las Vegas Mail. and many other
Western papers corroborate the account.
But let US not be disturbed; let us con-
tinue to spend and be spent in building
up fine churches to sit in ourselves at
home, and in sending missionaries to the
uttermost outposts of Africa as pabulum
with which to fatten the poor cannibals.
Those New Mexicans are too near home
to be interesting. Wretched relics of
medieval Spain, they are section of the
sixteenth century in the Old World trans
ported into the New, where they have
gone on sinking, under our indifference,
further and further into squalid, igno-
rant and degraded state, as the centuries
pass by. They are nothing to US; we
would get no thanks for interference-and,
Of all things, "thanks" is such a laudable
reward to strive for. While these bar
barous customs have disappeared from
slow old Spain, they still live in our own
progressive country.-Louispitte Courier

Mr.. Schelrs Splendid Shot.

AS the fast express on the Lake Shore
stopped at Berea yesterday to take water,
the passengers saw in corner of rail
fence, summing itself, large snake
When the engineer blew off stream of
kissing, hot steam, the snake suddenly
coiled itself up as if to jump at the brake
man, who stood with his back to the rep
tile. Col Robert Downes, who was in
the parlor car, saw the dangerous position
of the brakeman, and with a cool presence
of mind leaped from the car, grasped a
fence rail, and proceeded to strike at the
snake.
BY this time the ladies in the car were
screaming, and the other male passengers
had jumped out to help the colonel. The
snake had lodged Colonel Downes' first
blow by dipping its head, then suddenly,
to the horror of every one, sprang from
its coil, head foremost upon the platform
of the car, and, the door being open, glid
ed with fiery eyes and darting tongue
straight into the car. Several ladies
nearly tainted and the screams of the
frightened passengers brought Superin-
tendcnt Newell, who had Il revolver from
the rear car. Mr.. Newell is good shot,
having served through the Mexican war :;
but the screams of the lady passengers
seemed to unnerve him, and his first shot
missed the snake, which now coilcd itself
with head erect, ready to spring in among
half fainting group of ladies.
Luckily, us soon as Mr.. Newell fired,
and before the snake could make a dead
ly spring. Mr.. Augustus Schell, of New
York. drew a revolver and shot the snake
dead. Quivering moment, its head
fell, and the dead body lay lifeless on the
floor of the car.
On measuring the snake it was found to
be seventeen feet and seven inches long,
and had fourteen rattlcs in its tail and
four rattles around Its neck. 1t was a
rare species ofrattlesnakc, or cicus snd6ind
thought heretofore by naturalists to be an
extinct species. Our readers can place
the largest credit to this account, as we
gained our information from one of the
passengers who saw the snake die and
afterwards measured it, Mr.. Eli Perkins
is the passenger Clepeldad Plaindealer.

CocKRoAcnRs - Cockroachcs, it APP
pears, have become exceedingly numer-
Gus in some parts Of France. So grev-
GUS is the plague OF these insects that the
people have adopted some singular ex-
pedients for relief. Toads have been in
troduced into not only the gardens but
the dwellings, and ladies are said to have
even made bets of toads for the protec-
ton they afford. But one of the best re-
rults of the plague is that the people
have taken to the rearing of the night
lngales as an ally against the cock
reaches.

AMUSEMENT. human nature needs
amusement. The finest growth of the
world is fed on mirth, and without humor
the race could not live. The buffers
which protect us from the jolts and shocks
of lite-which lubricltc the wheels of Cd:
otherwise intl4med activities are the
jokes of the day; the sly raps We give
each other and the quiet nudges of fun
which tickle the ribs of our jollIty. How
csn such a large department of human
sit and humor supply be left unoccupied
by Christianity; yea, be entirely sur
rendered to the enemy. 1t could not be
under any fair Interpretation of its duties
an true application of its principles. |
maintain that Christianity should under
take the supply and direction of the
peoples amusements, so that the mrth-
loving element of our population should
be fed in way and under such circum-
stances As to administer to the innocence
of character and the elevation of society
at large, and not to debauchcry. 1t is a
shame that the members of our churches
have to seek their amusemcnts and the
education of their minds and their emo
tions in comedy and tragedy both, in
oratory and music alike, in fiat disobedi-
ence of an unwritten and imperative law
in their churches which bans without
discrimination the defamation of the
noblest poetry, and the vocalization of
the most perfect music of the worldly.

AN elephant got in the way of rail-
way train in India. "The brute turned
and aed on seeing the engine, but was
speedily caught. The buffer beams of
the engine being very low, the beasts
hind legs were taken from under him,
and he was forced to sit down, as it were,
with his headquarters against the smoke
house door, which was redhot. The poor
beast managed to keep his fore feet 60
ing, though hustled along faster than ever
he had gone in his life before, and in a
few minutes the train came to a stand
still and he got away. He moved off the
line at the double, uprooted a clump Of
bamboo, then wreaked dire vengeance on
a tree, and was last seen rushing through
the Jungle, tearing and smashing every
thing 10 his path. He was sadly cut and
burned in the headquarters, and will
probably never be of use again"
