Paying for His Whistle.

NOT many years ago, when a lofty
building was on the point of compile
ton, the mason who was finishing the
highest portion was in the habit of
whistling to the laborer who was at
tending him whenever he wanted a
fresh supply of lime, and, as the seat
fold on which he wrought was rather
small, this occurred very often during
days work. A joiner who was fitting
in window Immediately underneath,
noticing Pat answer dutifully to every
whistle from the mason, thought of
playing trick on him by initiating the
whistle, and thus brought him up with
hodful of lime when there was no
room for it. The mason told Pat that
he had not whistled, so he had no 9th
er alternative than to trudge back with
his load. This having occurred for the
third time during one day, Pat thought
he would watch to hear where the
whistle came from. He had not wait
ed long with the hod on his shoulder
when he heard the identical whistle
directly underneath where he stood.
and, leaning over, he saw the head of
the joiner protruding out of the win
dow Immediately below. Pat, without
more ado, emptied the hod right over
the whistler's head. The joiner yelled
and spluttered while attempting to
clear himself from the adhesive mass,
and, in the midst of his confusion,
heard Paddy above shouting at the top
of his voice: Whistle when YOU want
more mortarn'

INDIRECTION.

FAIR are the flowers and the children, but their
subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare is the rose-burst of dawn, but the secret
that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the eXultance of song, but the strain that
precedes it is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ but the meaning
administered the metre.
Never daisy that grows but mystery guideth
the growing;
Never river that flows but majesty sceptres
the flowing;
Never Shakespeare that scared but stronger
than he did enfold him;
Nor ever prophet foretells but mightier seer
hath foretold him.
Back of the canvas that throbs the painter is
limited and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes the soul of the
sculptor is hidden:
Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite issues of
feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the glory that
crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being but that which
is symboled is greater;
Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the in
ward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the
gift stands the giving;
Back of the hand that receives thrills the sensi-
tive nerves of receiving.
Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is outdone
by the doing:
The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer the
heart of the wooing;
And up from the pits where these SILVER, and up
from the heights where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and
the essence of life is divine

Small Farms.

Small farms make near neighbors;
they make good roads; they make plen-
ty of good schools and churches; there
is more money made in proportion to
the labor; less labor is wanted; every
thing is kept neat; less wages have to be
paid for help; less time is wasted; more
is raised to the acre, because it is titled
better; there is no watching of hired
men; the mind is not kept in a worry, a
stew, fret all the time. There is not
so much fear of a drought, of wet
weather, of q frost, of small prices.
There is not so much money to be paid
out for agricultural implements, Our
wives and children have time to read,
to improve their minds. A small horse
is soon curried-and the work on a
small farm is always pushed forward in
season. Give us small farms for COM
fort.

JAMES MILLER started from Ohio
with his family for the far West, travel
ing in an emigrant wagon drawn by
two horses. In Missouri one of the
horses died, and he stole another to re-
place it. He was arrested, convicted,
and sentenced to eight years imprison-
ment. Lately his term expired, and he
resumed his journey, his family having
lived in the neighborhood of the prison
while waiting for him to be released.

UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
TBy our Reporter.

On Monday evening Pres. Thomp.
son delivered his lecture on Ma
cauley" to an audience Of about ont
hundred. The lecture was, in every
respect, literary masterpiece, and
should have drawna better audience.
The small assemblage is accounted
for by the fact that this was a "pay
lecturer and the modern "Atheni-
ans" seem to have n preference foi
free literature. The proceeds amount
ed to some $25, which Is to be divid-
cd equally between the literary soci-
cites. 1t is but just to say that the
students turned out generally on
Monday evening.
On Friday and Saturday Majo

THE Fair was not, we are sorry to
say, much of a success financially or
otherwise. The exhibits were poor
and the attendance not so large as
usual. properly fostered and pat
ronized by our people, the Fair would
be power for good and would in re-
atty add to the material wealth of
our county. We rather thirk k, though,
that the company will not continue
it's efforts to keep up any longer. The
officers certainly deserve credit for
having managed it as well as they
have for so long and in the face of so
many difficulties. If it is now to be
considered thing of the past, we
certainly regret it and would suggest
that an effort be made to have it con-
tinued. Let some one propose new
and economical plan for making it go.
Expenses will be less than formerly,
and with the grounds already prepar-
ed and suitable buildings already
erected, all OF which we think could
be had cheap, there is no reason why
Monongalia county should not con
tinue to have its annual exhibitions.

The Gainesville furnace property
has been purchased by Messrs. VIM.
TAFT and Chas. Laverty, wealthy
iron firm of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Mr.. Laverty was in town this week,
and he informed us that he considers
it the richest piece of property he ev-
err saw. They paid $4,000 for it,
and Mr.. L. says he wouldn't sell it
for hundred thousand to-day. Iron,
he says, can be made there cheaper
than at any furnace he knows of.
Extensive repairs will be commenced
on the works at once, under the SUI
pcrintendcnce of Mr.. TAFT, the builder
of nearly all the large furnaces in
this country. Its capacity will be
increased from seven to thirty tons
per day. The furnace will be started
up next Spring, and in the meantime
a force of men will be put to work to
get things in readiness. Mr. LAYER
ty says they will put enough capital
into it to make it a success, and that
he sees no reason why Gladesville
will not become quite town. He is
delighted with our country.-King-

HORSE THIEvIXG. - C0nsitlerabl
excitement was occasioned in the
neighborhood of Briartowu this week
by the disappearance Of three horses,
two of which belonged to William
Rhea and one to William Barnes.
They were taken ont Of the stable last
Sunday night, and were found near
Enterprise, Harrison county,on Tues
day. Several suspicious characters
who had been staying in that neigh
borhood, disappeared with the horses
and it is thought they took the ami
mails, desiring a cheap means of trans
portation out of the country.-FaU-

TIE WETzEL RED MEN.-A few
weeks ago we gave an account of a
visit the"Rei Men" Of Wetzel coun.
ty paid an old sinner named Joseph
Eakin, Of Burton, at which time Ea-
kin was told to leave the State. He
did not do it, and on last Sunday
morning the Red Men, thirty in
number, again visited him. The
charge against Eakin is that he left
his wife few years ago to live with
another female. The Red Men broke
in the doors of his shanty and secur-
ed him and the woman, and after re-
moving their children to neighbor'
house, they started with their VIC
Tins to the outskirts Of the town.
where they applied heavy coat Of
tar and feathers to them. In the
meantime part of their crowd COM
pletely demolished Eakin's house.
After completing their work the
party visited a saloon in Burton and
obliged the proprietor to hand out
what whisky they wanted and then
they called on man named Tustin,
who had lately EN- igrated from
Greene county, Pa, and whom re.
port said was not exactly a good
man, and made him promise to show
them copy of his decree of divorce.
&C., on their next visit. They then
departed. A correspondent writing
to the Wheeling Register from Bur-
ton, giving the above facts, says:
"This kind Of law in Wetzel, If law
it can be called, has already gone too
far. If the county authorities do not
or cannot attend to this kind of ma
rauding, it appears as though it was
time the Governor or State should
attend 10 IL. 1t has become an int0l-
