HOW SHE GAVE THE CENSUS.

When the census-taker raped at
the door Of certain Detroit cottage
on Crawford street the other day,
and wondered il the woman would
set the dog on him or dousn him
with dish water, a great disappoint-
ment awaited him. She opened the
door softly, snuffed the air to see if
lie smelled of lightning rods, and
then threw it open for him to enter.
"Mada y, am making canvass
of the city," he began.
"Ah ! sit down." she replied, and
as he began opening his book she
continued, "There are five Of us in
the family, and we paid 500 down
on this place. My husbands name
is Peter, his age is fortY-two, and he
came from a mean family. Ris
father was always having lawsuits
about dogs, and his mother was the
greatest gossip in EImira. Have
you got that down ?"

STORY OF A PICTURE.

4 painter once wanted a picture
of innocence, and drew the likeness
of a child at PRAYER. The suppli-
cant WINS kleeling beside his moth
er the palms of his uplifted hands
were reverently pressed together :;
his ROSY cheek spoke of health, and
his mild blue eye was upturned with
the expression of devotion and
peace. The portrait of young Ru-
pert was much priced by the painter
who hung it on his study wall, and
called it Innocence"
Years passed away, and the artist
became an Old man. Still the pic
ture hung there. He had often
thought Of making a counterpart
the pictuer of "Guilt''-but had not
found the opportunity. At last he
effected his purpose by paying vis-
it to neighboring Jail. On the
damp floor of his cell lay wIetched
culprit named Randall, heavily iron
ed. Wasted was his body and
hollow was his eye vice was visi-
ble in his face. The painter sue
ceeded admirably, and the portrait
of young Rupert and Randall were
hung side by side, for Innocence"
and Guilt"
But who was young Rupert and
who was Randall ? Alas the two
were one. Old Randall was young
Rupert led astray by bad compan-
ions, and ending his life in the
damp and shameful dungeon.

THE HEARTS or THE LOHLY.

Ole day, three or four weeks ago,
a gamin, who seemed to have no
riends in the world, was run over
by vehicle on Gratiot avenue, De
troit, and fatally injured. After he
had been in the hospital for a week
a boy about his age and size, called
to ask about him and leave an or
ange. He seemed much embarrass-
ed, and would answer no questions.
After that he came daily, always
bringing something, if no more than
an apple. Last week when the
nurse told him that Billy had no
chance TO get we'll, the strange boy
waited around longer than usual,
and finally asked if he could go In.
lie had been invited to many times
before, but always refused. Billy,
pale and weak and emaeiated, open
ed his eyes in wonder at the sight
of the boy, and before he realized
who it was the stranger bent close
TO his face and sobbed:
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1878-06-13

"Billy, can ye forgive n fellow ?
We was allus fghtin' and was al
lus too much for ye, but l'm sorry
Fore ye die won't ye tell me ye
haven't any grudge agln me ?"
The young lad, then almost in the
shadow of death, reached up his
thin white arms, clasped them
around the others neck and re-
piled
Don't cry, Bob-don't feel bad
l WAS ugly and mean, ana was hav-
ing stone ut We when tho wagon
hit me. If ye'll forgive me I'll for
give We, and I'll pray fur both of
u.s."
Bob was half an hour late tle
morning Billy died. When the
nurse took him 20 the shrouded
corpse he kissed the pale face tender
ly and gasped /:
D-ulu ne say anything aDOut-
about me ?"
'He spoke of you just before he
died-askel if you were here" re-
piled the nurse.
"And may / g)-Eo to the fun
eral z"
"You may"
And he did. lie was the only
mnurner. His heart was the only
one that ached. No tears were shed
by others, and they left him sitting
by the new-made grave with a heart
so big that he could not speak.
II, under the crGsts OF vice and
ignorance, there are such springs of
pure feeling and true nobility, who
shall grow weary Of dong good. -

No Fun IN HIM.

One of tie members Of the Meth.
odist conference, recently held in
Detroit, Michigan, was out for a
walk at an early hour one morning,
and while on Howard Street he en-
countered a stapping big fellow,
who was drawing wagon to TIE
Dlacksmith's shop.
Catch hold here, and help me
down to the shop with this wagon,
and Ill buy the whisky" called the
fellow.
II never drink, ! soleunly replied
the good man.
"Well, you can take cigar"
81 never smoke"
The man dropped the wagon shaft
looked hard at the member, and
asked, "Don't You chew ?"
"No, sir !" was the decided re-
ply.
You must get mighty lonesome, -"
nused the teamster.
II guess Pm all right feel
frst-rate.'
"I'll bet you even ti,at can lay
you on your back" remarked the
teamster. Come, nov, let's warm
up little"
" | never bet"
"Well, let's take each other down
for fun, then. [ou are as big as L
am, and I'll give you the underhold. :"
81 never have any fun," solemnly
answered the member.
"Well, I'm going to tackle you,
anyway. Here we 60"
The teamster slid up, aud en-
deavored TO get peck hold, but he
had only just commenced to fool
about, when he was lifted clear off
the grass and slammed against a
tree box with such force that he
gasped half a dozen times before he
could get his breath.
Now you keep away from me ~
exclaimed the minister, picking up
his cane.
''Bust me il don't =" replied the
teamster, as he edged off. What's
the use in lying, and saying you
didn't have any fun in you, when
you're chuck fall of it ? Blame it !
you wanted to break my neck,
didn't you ? You just hang around
here about five minutes, you old
Texas, and III bring on u feller
who'll cave in your head"
81 never hang" said the minister
as he sauntered off AMI the team
ster leaned upon his wagon and
muSed.

he drowned by snagging and sink

RICH, But DYING OF STARVATION

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of Sat
urday published a remarkable story
of the life of Jerty Tullis, Of that
city, who died on Friday night from
sickness caused by lack os food and
by self-neglect and exposure. Tul-
lis was worth S2,000,00 or SO, ,000,-
900 in real estate, bonds, etc most
of which he had accumulated by ex-
treme economy and close but strictly
honest dealings. He owned a large
amount Of property in Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis /; was the
heaviest landowner in Butler, a
wealthy county adjoining Hamilton
(Ohio), and owned about one hun
dred thousand acres of land in Iowa
and Missouri. He was very peculi-
ar in his habits, buying his clothes
only at second hand and Lying at
cheap restaurants. He had been ill
for some time before his death, but
refused to employ a physician on
account of expenses. He WAS
man of fair education and had stud
led law with Mr.. Carey, of Cincin-
natl, i'll order to fit himself to at
tend TO his own business and save
attorneys fees. lie was very eccen-
trio and self-denying in his habits,
avoiding society, living in wretch
ed, dirty room in an obscure alley or
in a log hut on one of his numerous
farms, dressing wretehedls, having
the appearance of third rate tramp.
He was unmarried aud had few
friends or relatives. He remarked
shortly before his death that he car.
ell little what became OF his proper
ty except that he hoped those who
got it would enjoy spending it as
much as lie had its accumulation.
