BUYING DoG.-A correspondent writes
81 was sitting quietly by the stove in lager.
beer saloon in Phiadel phia one very cold
night in the Fall of 1869, the only other oc-
cupants at the time being four young men
apparently students-playing euchre. They
were busiy engaged playing. and 1 was also
busily engaged smoking and warming my
self, when the door opened, letting in gust
of wind, lot of snow, and, with the two, q
sad, habby.looking man with one of the most
miserable-looking dogs at his heels that it
has ever been my misfortune to look at. He
walked up to the bar and took drink of
whisky, after which he went to the table,
where there was large bowl of hot clam
chowder-given gratis to whoever purchased
a drink Having procured soup.plateful
of this nourishment, he sat down directly op-
posite him. When the man came across q
piece of gristle, he threw it to the dog, who
eat ravenously. The four young men seemed
suddenly to relinquish their cards and to be
more deeply Interested in the man and dog.
One bet another twenty dollars that the man
would not sell the dog on which the young
man challenged at once took the bet, both
stalking the money in the hands of their two
friends. The one challenged thereupon &C.
costed the man-fSay, cap'n, do you want to
sell that dorg?' The man just looked at his
interrogation, and that was all. Again he
was asked, when the party asking offered to
give five dollars for it; at which offer the
man said, don't poster me about the dorg-,l
don't want to SELL which answer created a
burst of laughter among the Soung men, my
self included. Exasperated at last, the young
man bid the stranger ten dollars for the dog,
which he Immediately took, handing over the
dog in exchange, and buttoning up bis coat
and walking coolly to the door, when 1t
struck the purchaser that he should like to
know the dogs name, which he asked the
man in a loud voice as the latter was near the
place of exit. The man turned round and
gazed at them all with benign look of pity.
He said to them, Dew yew wish tew know
that purps name?' They simultaneously
answered in the affirmative He said, well,
that's good, considering I never saw him till
he follered me in here!'

EFFECT OF EMOTION UPON THE BRAIN
In New York, recently, Dr. Hammond deiv-
cred his second lecture on the nervous system.
During the course of the lecture he said that
emotion is the most important of any of the
functions of the brain. The physiological
signs of emotion are blushing, pal alpitation, in
crease of the salivary secretion and other
bodily changes. Emotion is the most difficult
to control, such as anger, grief fear and anx-
iety, and these are produced by too much
blood flowing or rising to the head from other
parts of the body. He explained the means
by which these emotions could be controlled,
and quoted instances which came under his
own observation, which led to disastrous con-
sequences. Sometimes the bite of man un-
der strong emotion of passion was poisonous

@ A far-sigbted miss of seventeen sum-
mers has concluded to marry big man for
her first husband, and a little one for the Sec

Thus the hard times force home lessons of
rigid economy and practical sense upon ten

n@ "Do you know that expensively-dress-
ed lady there" said a young man, to his
friend, at ball the other night, pointing as
he spoke to an exceedingly fashionable mar
ried belle.
"Yes; what about her?" was the reply.
"That is the woman that our friend, Colo
mel -, tried so hard to win for his wife
but he lost her; and now there is only one
other person who is as miserable as the Colo,
mel is"
"And who is that other person ="
"The lady's husband" was the reply.

RHEUMATISM CURED BY FRIGHT.-John
McGiuty, printer, who became a confirmed
tramp, was cured of rheumatism in the fol.
lowing manner: He was at work on a morn
ing paper at Rochester, N. Y, where he had
a severe attack of infammatory rheumatism.
He is devout Catholic, and, when his
rheumatic difficulties made it impossible for
him to work at his trade, he took up his
quarters at St. Marys hospital, and was taken
care of by the Sisters. His case seemed to
be incura BILE, and here he stopped for long
time, scarcely able to put his feet to the
ground Having no money, he was, howev-
er, set at work doing light chores about the
building.
In the second story is large room, known
as the "dead room," where the bodies of
those who die in the institution are placed,
preparatory to burial To this apartment
McGinty was sent, one evening. just at dusk,
to get cross. He had been sent on SINH
lar errand many times before, and nothing
worthy of note had occurred but this time
he hobbled, slowly and painfully, to the silent
room, and, in the dim light, succeeded in
finding the corpse all right, placed as usual,
upon . platform about two feet high, with
the hands folded together across the breast,
and holding the cross which McGinty reach.
ed out aud took, but accidentally dropped
beside the body.
STOPPING down low enoug to pick any
thing from the floor, was, for him, at that
time, a very difficult and painful task, and
while engaged in it, one Of the hands of the
corpse, which had been loosened by the re-
moval of the cross, began slowly, of its own
weight, to move toward him, and when it
passed beyond the centre of gravity, came
down, with tremendous thump. upon the
back of poor, rheumatic McGinty.
Now he was quite positive that there was
not living soul in the room, except himself,
and to have dead man strike him severe
blew would have startled a considerably less
supersttious man than this tramp printer,
who forgot his rheumatism, and went down
those stairs on the jump, with his hair stand
ing on end He was nearly frightened to
death, but his rheumatism was gone, and
from that day to this he has been entirely
free from the disease.

aa% 1t is great misfortune to have fret
full disposition. 1t takes the fragrance out
of ones life, and leaves only weeds where a
cheerful disposition would cause flowers to
bloom. The habit of fretting is one that

and the best way to overcome it is to try al
ways to look on the cheerful side of things.

KEEPING PoULTRY IN ORCHARDs.-This
is matter that should be practiced when pos
sible. We believe that if farmers and fruit
raisers knew the benefit arising from such
management, they would at once adopt it,
Last fall we visited an orchard in which
fowls were kept, the owner of which told US
that before the fowls were confined in it, the
trees made little or no growth, and only a
corresponding amount of fruit was obtained.
But what change was evident now. The
grass was kept down, the weeds killed and
the trees presented an appearance of thrift,
which the most enthusiastic horticulturist
could not but admire and envy. The growth
of the trees was most vigorous, and the TO-
liage remarkably luxuriant The fruit was
abundant, of large size and free from worms
and other imperfections. This excellence was
accounted for by the proprietor, who remark
ed that the "hens ate all the worms and cur.
culio in their reach, even the canker worm"
He found less trouble with their roosting in
trees than he expected, and that a picket
fence six feet high kept them within bounds.
His orchard was divided into three sections,
and the fowls were changed from one to an
other, as the condition Of the fowls or the
orchard section seemed to require.

DON'T LOSE A M1NUrE.-Keep busy. The
man who has nothing to do is the most miser-
able of beings If you have no regular work,
do chores as farmers do when it rains too
hard to work in the field. In occupation we
forget our troubles, and get a respite from
sorrow. The man whose mind and hands are
busy finds no time to weep and vail. lfwork
is slack, spend the time in reading. No man
ever knew TOO much. The hardest students
in the world are the old men who know the
most. The man who does not acquire some
item of useful information between day-break
and bed time, must mournfully say, with the
Roman Emperor, II have lost day."

Az we turn over the leaves Of the
great book Of the past, let us pause a
moment to read the names OF those
brave souls, who have struggled,
fought, and conquered, though feliered
on all sides By bitter, singing poverty.
Homer, "the blind old man Of Solos
Isle," went begging from door 10 door,
singing the songs that were In after
years 10 render his name immortal.
1t was as q charity student that Spen-
Ger entered Cambridge. AT the age Of
fourteen Shakespeare Is said to have
been obliged 10 earn bis daily bread.
Goldsmith describes himself Of q GER
tain period Of his life as In q garrett,
writing for bread, and expecting 10 be
dunned for q milk score. William
Hazlitt once went without food for two
days.
Dr.. johnson wrote "Rasselas" in q
week to defray the expenses of his
mothers funeral. Lamb called Cole.
ridge "lhe inspired charity boy" For
thirty-three years "Elia" himself was
tied to the drudgery of the desk and,
yet, through all these years of slavery,
his quaint, tender humor never failed.
Tasso was reduced to the extremity of
borrowing q crown for q weeks sub
sistence. Having no candle to see to
write his verses, be entreats the cat to
assist him by the lustre of her eyes
Dryden spent his last years in poverty
and was obliged to write on dlstaste-
full subjects for his daily support.
C~ervanteS, the genius of Spain, was
thrown 10 prison for debt and here, 1t Is
said the adventures OF the immortal
Don QuiIote were first Chronicled. Il
seemed hard for Sir Walter Scott 10 be
obliged to undertake bis gigantic tack
in the evening Of his life that should
have been spent in peace and quiet;
but when we read the brilliant Waver-
ly, we felt that, though the victor sank
exhausted, the prizs was worthy of the
sublime sacrifice. Deioe, the author
OF more than two hundred books and
pamphlets, died insolvent. lie thus
sums up his ~checkered career:
NO man has started different fortunes
more;
And thirteen times have been rich and
poor"
."SAlmagundi" aud "Knickerbocker's
New York" were written for recreation ;
but later in lie, failing in business,
Washington Irving began to write to
live. Jean Paul Richter's life was one
long struggle with poverty. The great
desire OF his heart was 10 see the ocean,
but he, the mighty genius, who had
wrilteG so much aud so grandly, never
satisfied bis longing eyes until there
rolled before him the ocean OF eternity.
Had Burns walked the sunny side of
fate we should never have had that
sweetest OF all home pictures, "The
Cotter's Saturday Night nor could
we pluck, save in poverty's rude, un-
cultivated garden, such a delicate wild
flower as The modest, cgimson.tipped"
Mountain Daisy.
There IL no sadder picture in all liter
AZURE than Milton, deserted in his

of spirit only saw more clearly the
glories Of that beautiful lost paradise
that he paints in such grand colors.-
