All Odd Corner.

We'll! however old you may be,
Hidden away in your heart somewhere,
Through the dust and rubbish of twcnt,
years,
Meath the soft dust of falling hair,
\ pair of violet Swallowed eyes,
Look with smile that brings the tears.
But that was long ago, you see,
And passing time has made you wise.
The love OF to day is different far;
Eyes like the flash of the great North star,
And lips like the heart of Provence rose.
Yet, somehow or other, mt evenings close,
Or when some stumbling foot doth jar
The bric.a brac OF that lumber room,
4 sweet face rises from out the gloom,
Speaking of daisicd fields allow,
And the voice of winds that come and go
over the hawthorn's snowy bloom
hut the moon looks down ON grave below.

Fighting with a Wild Cat.

Job Elting lives in the mountain dis
trict 25 miles northwest of Shokan. N.
Y, in a log hut in the woods, some dis
lance from any neighbor. He keeps
pigs and few chickens in small build
ing 200 feet from the house. Of late he
had missed chickens almost every night.
He made up his mind to catch the thief,
and kept close watch. On Thursday
night of last week he heard noise
among the chickens, and, taking his
gun and lantern, went to the building
and entered it by q small door, in the
bottom of which was hole cut for the
ingress and egress of the fowls. lie
carefully closed the door after him, but
scarcely had he done so before large
wild cat attempted to escape through
the hole in the bottom of the door.
Citing disputed the passage; the animal
was so close to him that his gun could
not be used; in the scuffie that ensued
the lantern was knocked over and the
light put out. The animal fastened It's
fore claws deep in his right shoulder and
neck, and at every effort to unloose 1t
its hind claws were used on his side and
chest. Elting at length reached the
cats neck with his left hand, which par
tally unloosed it from its first hold.
Then he grasped it firmly around the
neck with both hands, and killed 1t.
The blood was flowing in streams from
Elting's side, breast, and arms, and so
fearful strain had he undergone that
he sank in a swOon beside the dead body
of the beast, where his wife found him
some time afterward. He is suffering
from the wounds made by the animal.
This is the third wild cat caught this
season in that part of the mountains

The Woman Who Knew.

Saturday forenoon little old woman
who had come to town in q one-horse
wagon entered a store on Woodward
Avenue where gents furnishing goods
are sold and asked if they kept such a
thing as mans night-shirt.
Certainly we do" was the reply, as
the clerk reached for box.
"Wel, my old man was travelling
down in Rhode Island last fall, and he
heard about 'em and saw one," she con-
tinued, "and he's been half crazy ever
since to own 4 couple. Things have
come to pretty pass when men have
got to have one shirt for day and the
other for night, but Thomas is rather
childish and thought I'd git him one. :"
"Most all men wear 'em now," said
the clerk as he opened the box. " what
price do you want to pay?"

picked up one after another and let
them drop. 81 didn't say wanted
one for myself, did I?'
"Why, no, of course not. These are
gentlemen's night shirts, madam-three
different styles"
She picked up the plainest one, shook
it out, held it at arms length, land coldly
said:
"Young man, do you pretend to call
this garment night-shirt for MANI"
"Yes, ma am"
"You do, Ell? You stick to it that
this frilling and furbelowing and tuck
ing and ruflling belongs on a mans
night-shirt?"
81 do.m
"Then you'd better go to driving a
sand wagon, young mani" she snapped
as she threw the garment down. "I've
worn night-gowns for tifty-one years,
and if the day has come when young
moonshiner like You puts on airs to tell
me that don't know what night
gown is, my old man can sleep in har-
ness for all the night-shirt he'll ever get
me to buy! Good-day, young mani"
And she went out with a defiant CLEAN
in her eyes.-DetroH Free Press.

TAKING IL COOLLY.

some Good Anecdotes, New ana Old.
Some of many instances of extraordl-
nary GOODNESS in the midst of danger
and otherwise that have been recorded
are here offered to our readers, together
with some amusing sayings and doings.
When gallant Ponsonby lay grievously
wounded on the field of Waterloo he
fought his own desperate plight while
watching an encounter between couple
IF French lancers and one of his own
men, cut off from his troop. As the
Frenchmen came down upon Murphy,
he, using his sword as if it were shil-
lelah. knocked their lances alternately
aside again and again. Then suddenly
setting spurs to his horse, he galloPed
of full speed, his eager foes following
in hot pursuit, but not quite neck TO
neck. Wheeling round at exactly the
right moment the Irishman, rushing al
the foremost fellow, parried his lance
and struck him down. The second,
pressing on to avenge his comrade, was
cut through diAgonally by Murphy's
sword. falling to the earth without cry
or rroan: while the victor, scarcely

Where the Proceeds of a Bank
Robbery were Secreted.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says: Doubtless there are no two per.
sons living whom the people and press
of Western Massachusetts, will be more
delighted to have crowded out of sight
and mind than the Northampton Bank
burglars. But there are a few more
things to be said about them before they
are finally consigned to the oblivion Of
prison workshop. One of the items
of their historic career, about which the
public has been anxious to know, ever
since it was ascertained that the bulk of
the stolen securities remained in town
awhile after the robbery, has been the
local hiding-place of those bonds. Sus.
picion has long pointed to the Bridge
Street school-house, so often mentioned
during the trials as containing the attic
where the burglars camped while ma
turing their plans. This was, in fact,
the hiding-place of the bonds; they
were not hid, however, under the plat
form, but inside of an inclosed and sta
tionary bench, which was fastened to
the wall at the right of the teachers
chair. This bench was made for little
children to sit on, and the wall above it
is painted black, so that they can stand
on the bench and draw. The
burglars made skillful preparation
for depositing the plumber while it was
yet lying behind the doors of the
bank vaults. They first cut the nails
that fastened down the top of the bench
by running cold-chisel under the top
board so that they ceased to hold, al
though the nail-heads on the surface of
the board showed no signs of having
been disturbed. Holes were then bored
in the board, and large screws inserted
to hold it down, the heads being sunk
below the surface, and covered with
beeswax, exactly the color of the board.
The concealment of these screws was
thus made so perfect that the bank Off
GERS had trouble to find them a few
months ago, when they opened the
bench at the suggestion of the burglars.
The latter told them after the July trial
that they would find enough under that
bench to satisfy them that the bonds
had been there, also remarking that
they would have to " find the screws"
before they took off the cover. When
two of the Directors who went to the
school-house to make an examination saw
the bench was apparently nailed down,
one said to the other, "They have lied
to u.s." but, after little investigation,
the screws were found, and, when the
cover was off, quite collection OF bur-
glars tools and Cashier Whittlesey's
bunch of keys, marked with his name,
and missed since the robbery, were re-
vealed to the eyes of the wondering bank
men. The school-house had been in
use in the interval since the robbery.

Behind him stretched his long and useless
labor,
Before him lay the parched and stony
ground.
lie leaned against shrine of Mary, casting
It's balm OF shadow on his aching head,
And worn with toll and faint with cruel fast
ing,
He sighed, so God. o God, that were dead
The friends loved are lost or left behind
me- .....
In ponury and loneliness roam;
These endless paths OF pcnancc choke ana
blind me;
oh come and take thy wasted pilgrim
homer
Then, with the form OF Mary bending DER
him,
Her hands I'm changclcss benediction stay
ed,
The palmer slept, while swift dream up
bore him
Tothe fair paradise for which he prayed.
He stood alone, wrapt in divinest wonder;
He saw the pcarly gates and jasper walls
Informed with light, and heard the far off
thunder
OF chariot wheels and mighty waterfalls!
From far hnd near, in rhythmic palpitations
Rose on the air the noise of shouts and
psalms;
And through the gates he saw the ransomcd
Marching and waving their triumphant
palms!
And white within the thronging Empyrean,
golden palm branch in his hingly hand,
He saw his Lord, the gracious Galilean,
Amid the worship of his myriads stand!
90 Jesus! Lord of glory! Bid me enter!
worship thee! kiss thy holy rood"
The pilgrim cricd-whcn from the burning
center
A broad. winged angel sought him where he
stood
81" Why art thou hcre?" in accents deep and
tender
,Outspoke the messenger. "Dost thou not
know
That none may win the city's rest and splen
dor
Who do not cut their palms in Jericho?
eco back to earth thou pilgrim, empty
handed!
Go back to hunger and the toilsomc way!
Complete the task that duty hath command
ed,
And win the palm thou hast not brought
to.dayH
And then the sleeper woke and gazed around
him;
Then, springing to his feet with life re-
newcd,
He spurncd the faithlcss weakness that had
bound him
And faring on his pilgrimage pursued.
The way was hard and he grew halt and
weary,
But one long day, amid the evening hours,
He saw beyond II landscape gray and drcary
The sunset flame on Salem's sacred towers !!
Oh lainting soul that rcadcst well this story,
Longing through pain for deaths Denignant
balm,
Think not to win Il heaven of rest and glory
IT thou shalt reach its gates without thy
paint

It is quite natural for us to look up
on some member of our profession az
lucky, and to bewail our own misfor-
tunes. Have you ever observed the
farmers load Of potatoes when it reach.
es the market after being driven several
miles over rough and stony road?
When he started with it, there were
various sizes mixed together promiscu-
ously in the wagon, but the jolting pro-
cess has worked a marvellous change.
Now only the largest are seen on the
top, while all the smallest are found in
the lower strata, if they have not indeed
been sifted clear out. Though this is
homely illustration, it will be sufficient
for our purpose. The law which brings
some teachers to the surface and sinks
others to the lowest stratum, is very
similar. It is simply the jolting pro-
cess. The small potatoes may have
been lucky" in being on the top at the
start, but it is certainly not luck that
puts them. at the bottom when they
reach the market. The road over which
the pedagogic cart is driven is none of
the smoothest, and every rut will tell.
The teacher who commences his work
with scanty literary and less profession
al preparation, need not be surprised if
he soon finds himself jolted and jos.led
to the bottom. There is no luck about
it; it is only the survival of the fttest.
If you would rise in the profession, it
can only be through this law; your on
ly way is to fit yourself for the work.
Do this, and every jolt will help you;
neglect it and you will surely settle to
the bottom.-IO,ca Normal Monthlv.
