A TUssLE WITH KING-Victor Eman-
uel one day. hunting in the neighborhood
of Rome, shot at hare at the very mo-
ment when n stout citizen, out enjoying
the pleasures of the chase, discharged his
piece at the same object. The king claim
ed that he had killed the hare, and the
citizen, ignorant of the person of his ri.
val, declared in very impolite terms that
he himself was the successful marksman
The result was Il regular trial of strength
for the possession of the game-a tussle
which resulted in favor of the king, who
walked off with the prize, while the cti-
zen poured upon him perfect flood ol
such abuse as only an Italian of II certain
sort has at command. At the city gate
the king ordered the commandant of the
guard to follow the angry citizen and re.
port his name and residence.
After few hours the officer was able to
say that the unknown hunter was an hon
est cabinet maker of the Porta del Popolo
when the king sent one Of his carriages
to fetch him to the palace. Naturally the
man was terribly anxious as well as ful
of wonder why he should be wanted a
the palace, and he was not much relieved
when he recognized in the king the mar
whom he had abused. Master Salvina,
said his majesty, and at the sound of his
own name from royal lips the man trem
bled in every nerve: Master Salvini,
have sent for you because | have found
shot different from mine in the harep We
both hit the beast. Come, we will eat the
hare together" and thereupon the door o
the dining room was opened, where, be
tween two plates with appurtenances
smoked the hare properly roasted.

SAGACIrY OF THE MULE.-The Virginia
City Enterprise says that the editor of the
iWard (Nevada) RefeD relates the follow.
ng with just but modest family pride
"They have a mule at the furnaces Of the
Martin White Company that displays a
wonderful degree of intelligence. She re-
quires no driver, and, no matter what the
cart is loaded with, she knows exactly
where to leave it. All that is necessary is to
load it, and she engineers the vehicle to suit
herself She will pull like mailer until
out of breath, stop, get her wind, and
then 90 on again. She makes difficult
turns nicely as though driver directed
her course. The mule has never been
known to take load to the wrong place.
We noticed one of her performances in
which she stopped about fifty yards from
the place where her load was being deliv-
cred. The mule had taken long look
ahead and discovered that wagon was
being unloaded at the dump, and patiently
waited until it moved off, when she i'm
medately came on again, and backed up
to the exact spot where the earth was to
be dumped. This intelligent animal has
been overloaded so often that she is now
laid up for repairs, and perhaps will never
recover.

THE SINGING LESSON


A nightingale made mistake;
she sang few notes out of tune,
Her heart was ready to break.
And she hid from the mosn.
She wrung her claws poor thing,
But was far too proud to speak,
She tucked her head under her wing,
And pretended to be asleep.
A lark, arm.in-arm with a thrush,
Came sauntering up to the place;
The nightingale felt herself blush,
Though feathers hid her face.
She knew they had heal d her song,
She felt them sncker and sneer,
She thought this life was too long,
And wished she could skip year.
80 nightingale I" cooed dove.
40 nightingale, what's the use,
You bird Of beauty and love,
Why behave like goose?
Don't skulk away from our sight,
Like a common, contemplate fowl;
You bird of joy and delight,
Why behave like an owl?
"Only think of all you have done;
Only think of all you can do,
A false note is really fun,
From such bird as you'll
Lift up your proud little crest;
Open your musical beak;

FRIENDSHIP AND FLA rTERY.

When Friendship first came down TO earth,
With heart OF generous mould,
And soul of truth and heavenly worth,
Twas in the age of gold.
She taught the love that came from God
For all humanity;
Sweet Pity in her footsteps trod,
With Faith and Charity.
II.
But FIattery, as the world grew old,
Stole Friendships honest face;
When Truths stern accents grew less bold,
And Falsehood taught grimace.
Th' indignant martyr did not wreak
Her vengenre upon men,
Nor soar on refluent wing, to seek
Her home in heaven again.
She eft,her rival to reign DER
The sunny paths of life,
And loved the dark ones to explore
With sad misfortune rife.
Both to their own their aid extend,
Each in her way mother;
Success still finds the one friend,
Adversely the other.
