A Double Surprise.

While Mr.. and Mrs Enright are agreed
upon most all other subjects, they do not
exactly agree rs to how tramss should be
treated. That is, they didn't until yes
terday. His heart was tender enough
for him to say:
Every time you feed hungry person
You lay up treasures in Heaven
81 can't have them annoying me, anu
WON'T" was her spunky reply.
"Does it annoy you to have hungry
man ask for food?"
Eyes, it doesI'
"I'd be only too glad t. feed and con-
verse with score of them" he continued.
I'D like to ask them of their past deeds
and future intentions; find out II they
realize that there is another world; put
new and better thoughts into their minds.
Oh! Hannah, be good to the unfortu-
nate.'
"I'll fix you, old man." she said to her
self, as she leaned back to rock, and she
meant to do it. Next morning, when he
had been gone an hour, tramp called
and asked for sandwich. The fellow
was invited into the parlor to warm and
wait for dinner. At ten o'clock, there
were three in there. At eleven there
were seven. Half an hour later she
smilingly seated two more. About noon,
while waiting for her husband to arrive
and ask them of their future hopes and
fears, and chuckling over her scheme,
she heard one tramp calling out:
LET go my harp
"Give it to him ~ shouted second.
" Rah for me-" screamed a third, and
then the crashing and smashing drowned
their voices. The whole crowd fought
across and around the parlor, out into
the hall, and two or three were being
dragged down the front steps as Mr.. En-
right came up.
"Nother of us. Go for him. yelled
big tramp, and the good man was hit on
the ear, pitched into the snow and didn't
come to until a dozen camphor bottles
had been collected. He entered the
house leaning on his wife's arm. They
stood in the parlor door and gazei on the
panorama. 1t was gorgeous.
"How much treasure in Heaven do you
think has been placed to our credit this
mornngl' she mildly inquired.
He slowly reached for the camphor
bottle, and took long sniff, and replied;
"IIannall, let us feed the poor-we are
the oor!'-Detrou Free Press.

Cloud Land.

Fools Paradise where the rich soil
yields n generous harvest with just
enough tillage to serve as pastime;
where profitable markets are always at
hand liberal of reward to pleasurabe eff
fort; where the weather can be had to or
der and health instead of disease is
uatching where the neighbors are all de.
lightful, and ignorance, uncouthnesS and
turbulence are unknown; where sucking
pigs, baked an appetizing brown and i'm
paed with convenient knives and forks,
trot briskly around delighted to afford a
slice of hot pork and savory cracking at
a moments notice, and where all other
viands and grateful beverages are equally
handy, is place which many emigrants,
all the world over, are restlessly in search
of. IT'S the only spot, even in dream
land, where Adams descendants are cy-
empt from the hereditary penalty i'm
posed on Adams transgression-th in
the sweat of their brows he and his chill
dren should earn their bread.
Among the myriad toilers Of other
countries there is vague notion that
this delectable locality, or at least a re-
gion approaching it in attractivencss,
can be readily stumbled upon within the
broad bounds of The Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave" while the
inhabitants of this favored country, des-
pairing of finding this elysium among the
struggling crowds around them, seem,
many of them, to imagine they can hit
upon, or soon create, Il fac smile of it.,
somewhere in the sparsely settled wilder
ness along our civilized frontier. A
search for it there, however, would be as
vain as Ponce de Icons pursuit of that
sparkling treasure of Fools Paradise,
the Fountain of Youth. Indeed it would
be well for all about to emigratc, es-
pecially farmers, to bear IL mind that
success in a new location would inevitably
neccssitate cautiously prudent selection,
an energetic spirit, and, at least at the
outset, an increase Of labor, priyation
and hardship. Nor would it be unwise
! To reflect whether the voluntary practice
/ of these requisites among the friends and
scenes endeared by familiarity. would not
be likely to win rs fair a measure of tU-
ture prosperity rs could be reasonably
expected from their compulsory endur-
ance amid the miseries iascparabIe from
the condition of II stranger in strange
and-RurGL Nep Iorker.

Mr.. Beechcr'S New Position.

The New York Tribune says: The an
nouncement that Henry Ward Becchor
was to begin his duties rs the chaplain
Of the 18th Regiment called together
more than 3 900 persons at the battalion
drill and dress parade Friday even
ing, in the armory at Hanson-place and
Flatbush-avenue, Brooklyn. Many hold
ers of tickets were turned from the doors
because there was not standing.room for
them. Mr. Beecher, coming from his
prayer meeting before 8 o'clock, entered
the room during the drill and was
greeted with hearty applause. AT the
conclusion of the parade, he took the
oath of Office and was introduced to the
regiment. He said:
FELLOW SOLDIERS: | am not acquaint
ed with II soldiers tactics or a soldiers
life, but in the performance of the duties
which you have put upon me | shall
strive to be worthy of the soldiers name.
The time was in this country when the
duties of the militiamen were for mere
display and show. The ordeal that we
have passed through within the last
twenty years has sobcred the minds of
the people, aud taught them to prize the
worth of good citizen-soldiery. In all
the old countries of Europe the standing
armies have been IA constant menace to
liberty; they have been Il mockery, a
waste and corruption. In our country
we have permitted Il small army to con-
tnue its existence as protection against
foreign invasion and as the nucleus of u
larger force that may be needed in great
emergencies. The militia of the States
are not likely to be called upon for pro-
lection in another civil war; but it is
upon you that we must depend largely as
the police force to guard us against do
nestle upri.ings and disturbances of the
peace. 1t is scarcely possible to exag-
gerate the importance of having we'll
trained militia, we'll commanded, to sup
port the civil magistracy in the enforce
mcnt of the law. Your reputation for
bravery and loyal devotion is such that
you cannot afford to have it furnished in
the future by any hcsitancy in the per
Torrance of any duty. May not hope
that you will put such energy and sense
of honor into your work that it will
grow more and more ilustrious.
tender to you my services and aid by
