Colorado Ranch Customs.

from Colorado: Every ranchman is
armed with a repeating rife, q shotgun

parted early the next morning, and, I
learned, came up with their man and
shot him. 1t is remarkable to think
that a man may shoot his neighbor and
nothing be said, but let him steal any
thing and he must die. 1t is one of the
peculiar ideas of the men on the borders
that every man must protect his life,
and not the law, But there is a good
class of people now settling up this
country; slowly but surely, their ideas
will bring law and order.

The nephew flies down to his uncle's

Curious COmpaniOnsIiip.

A gentleman in Sussex, Eng, had a
cat which showed the greatest affection
for young blackbird, which was given
to her by a stable-boy for food day or
two after she had been deprived of her
kittene. She tended it with the greatest
care they became inseparable compan-
ions, and no mother could show q great
er fondness for her offspring than she
did for the bird.
Lemmery shut up cat and several
mice together in a case. The mice in
time got to be very friendly, and pluck
ed and nibbled at their feline friend.
When any of them gr9w troublesome,
she would gently box their ears.
A German magazine tells OF Mr..
Hecart who placed tame sparrow unS 4
the protection Of wildcat. Another
cat attacked the sparrow, which was at
the most critical moment rescued by it's
protector. During the sparrow's subse-
quent illness its natural foe watched
over it with great tenderness. The
same authority gives an instance of a
cat trained like a watchdog to keep
guard over yard containing hare and
some sparrows, blackbirds and part
ridges.

St one end of the Manchester exchange,
We're followed by dog who was in the
habit OF lying in the stall of one Of
them. AS he gamboled on in front the
creature was suddenly attacked by q
mastiff far too strong for his power of
resistance, and it would have gone hard
with him but for the unlooked-for inter-
vention of his stable companion, which,
breaking loose from the man who was
leading it, made for the battling dogs,
and with one well-delivered kick sent
the mastiff into a cooper's cellar, and
then quietly returned to the trough and
finished his drink. In very sensible fash
ion, too, did Mrs. Bland's half-Danish
dog, Traveller, show his affection for his
mistress pet pony. The latter had been
badly hurt, and when we'll enough to

his part, never failing to fetch one or

pony, and hailing its enjoyment of
them with the liveliest demonstrations
of delight.
That such relations should exist be-
tween the horse and the dog seems
natural enough. But that horse should

absurd to be true F; yet we have Gilbert

The Sort Of Girl to Get.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen
orally, she is not rich. But, oh what
a heart she has when you find her so
large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if those snowy
things outside were women. If you
gain her love your two thousand are
millions. She'll not ask you for a car
riage or frst-class house. She'll wear
simple dresses, and turn them when
necessary, with no vulgar magnificat to
froWn upon her economy. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your sky
parlor, and give you such a welcome
when you come home that you'll think
your parlor higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends on a dollar, and
astonish you with the new thought how
little happiness depends on money.
She'll make you love home Gf you don't
you're a brute), and teach you how to
pity, while you scorn poor, fashionable
society that thinks itself rich, and Vainly
tries to think itself happy. OliUer Ven

was startled by the announcement that
their pastor was lying at Ispranitz's
cottage in state of Inconsistencies.
Men, women and children Aocked to the
spot, and all did what they were able in
aid of the priests recovery, For days
he lay delirious, and while the fever was
burning up his frame he raved of the
open tomb of old Francis KrSnszloft,
the midnight marriage and the shot
which probably sent some poor creature
to eternity.
" Alas !" sighed the simple people,
"our good pastor has lost his reason,
heaven grant it may be restored to him
again"
It was nearly month ere the priest
was able to leave his couch. Among the
first things he did when he was able to
converse, was to tell the story of the
midnight marriage. But his hearers
gazed at each other with incredulous
glances, believing the old man was bereft
OF his wits. After awhile, however, he was
able to leave John Ispranitz's cottage,
and then he assembled the people, and
they proceeded to the church in body.
A careful inspection of the slab of the
vault, showed that it had been recently
displaced.
Suddenly new purpose seized the
minds of the villagers. Spades and crow
bars were at once at hand, and the vault
was quickly uncovered.
The first object that met their gaze
was a richly ly-mounted coffin reposing by
the crumbling remains of that which
held the ashes of Krynszloft. To raise
the lid was only the work of a few mo-
ments, and then they beheld, still with
perfect features, the body of beautiful
woman with wound directly in the
region of the heart.
Never had such a cry of terror and
anguish echoed within those walls.
The clothing on the body was of the
finest and most expensive description,
but it exhibited no mark by which clue
could be formed to unravel the dreadful
deed that had been Committed.
The priest, however, considered it
his duty to make the whole affair known
to his bishop, who resided at Helsing-
fors, and he in turn communicated the
attested facts to the government authori-
ties.
In due time came back message not
to revive the matter again, coupled
with warning that the inhabitants of
Biornborg would do well to interest
themselves no further in the strange
affair.
*
Some years later, a naval vessel ap-
peared off the coast and landed party
of armed men, who proceeded to the
church, keeping all the people at dis.
tance by placing guards in the vicinity.
When night fell they were heard at
work, and ere morning dawned they had
embarked, carrying with them burden
covered by pail.
The few people who were curious
enough to get glimpse of the departure
of the party, stated that the persons en-
ployed showed the most profound re-
spect and reverence to the object they
bore away to their barge.
AS soon as the ship was well in the
offing, the excited villagers again open
ed the tomb, but they only beheld the
accustomed remains of old Francis
Krynszloft.
That midnight marriage forever re-
mained mystery. National Standard.

Philosophy Of Newspaper Advertising.

Hermit" the New York correspond
ent of the Troy Times, in late letter,
philosophically remarks:
"Trade is now in full activity, and
business men are exerting every effort
TO improve the harvest. One method is
the handbill system, by which the hotels
are daily inundated. During the busi-
ness season one boy after another will
go the rounds, and in this way an at
tempt is made to obtain trade. OF
these, however, the greater part are
wasted, since the waiter generally picks
them up and throws them into the
street, and the next day fresh inunda-
Gon takes place. Experience has clear
ly demonstrated the most efficient
method of advertising is found in the
judicious use of the newspaper columns.
The ground on which newspaper adver-
tising, as a system, is based, is human
confidence, since we cannot avoid be-
lieving that which we constantly read.
The confidence is sometimes abused,
but still it is evident that a good adver-
tisement will, if sufficiently repeated,
carry popular opinion. Men who adver-
tise with the greatest persistency event
ually reach success. There is a mill
tary principal involved in the method,
since the article advertised should be
pressed on the public by repeated as.
saults. The correct view, which ex-
perience brings to each man, is that ad-
vertising should be included in the gen.
eral estimate of expense, as regularly as
store rent, clerk hire and insurance. tt
is often said good stand at a high rent
is better than poor one rent free.
Well, advertising brings a man before
the public in a way that makes any
stand good. The best stand you can
have is TO be in the newspapers"

The Two Villages.

Over the river on the hill
Lieth village white and still
All around IL tho forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze
Over it sailing shadows 60
or soaring hawk and screaming crow;
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the middle OF every street.
Over the river under the hill
Another village lIeth still
There / see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars Of household light
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door;
Mists that curl on the river shore;
And in the roads no grasseAgrow
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never is eound Of smithy or mill
The houses are thatched with gras and
flowers;
Never a c'o,k to toll the hours:
The marble doors are always shut
You oannot enter IN hall or hut
All tho villagers lie asleep;
Never grain to SOW or reap
Never in dreams TO moan or sigh
Silent and idle, aad low, they lie.
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many weary soul in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
Aud weeping and signing, longs to go
Up to that home from this below
Longs to sleep in the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
Aud heAreth, praying, this answer fall:
Patience that village shall hold ye
all!'
