Killing q Mouse.

A gentleman, who was exceedingly
averse to that little animal denominated
a mouse, was one day travelling, and, as
night set in, put up at country inn.
After supper he retired to his room,
carefully examining the corners and crev-
ICES to ascertain if there were any holes
from which these little marauders
might be likely to issue forth, but, find
ing none, he divested himself of his
wearing apparel, and consigned himself
to the guardian care of Morpheus.
After sleeping soundly for about three
hours, he again became conscious of bis
existence in this world of transitory
bliss, but being somewhat in dreamy
state, he had no clear perception as to
what might disturb his disordered
imagination. As he was thus lying,
midway between sleep and conscious
ness, he heard something 60 pit-pit-pit-
pit upon the table, which closely ap
proximated to the head of the bedstead
on which he was sleeping. He listened
more attentively, and observed, very
softly to himself, "As I live, this house
is beset with those Internal mice, and
there is one now gnawing at something
on the table," So saying, he slipped as
noiseIessly ont of bed as possible, and,
feeling for his boot, took hold of the toe
part of it, and, the heel upraised, very
softly approached, on tip.toe, his in
tended victim. When close enough to
be in striking distance, he again listen
ed, and, to his delight, found the noise
still there !; he then raised his arm, and,
with unerring precision, let fall the heel
of his boot upon--his own beautiful
gold repeater, that he had placed upon
the table on going to bed, that had
made the noise, and which now lay
smashed and destroyed.

Good HumOr in the Family.

Good humor is rightly reckoned q
most valuable aid to happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is a
sense of humor or the capacity to have
little fun along with the humdrum
cares and work Of life. We all know
how it brightens up things generally to
have lively, witty companion who
sees the ridiculous points of things and
who can turn an annoyance into an oc-
casion for laughter. 1t does great
deal better to laugh over some domes-
tic mishaps than to cry or soold over
them. Many homes and lives are dull
because they are allowed to become
too deeply impressed with sense of
the cares and responsibilities of life to
recognize it's bright and especially it's
mirthful side. Into such household,
good but dull, the advent of witty,
humorous friend is like sunshine on o
cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say witty
or funny things, it is comfortable, see-
ing what brightener little fun is, to
make an effort to have some at home.
1t is we'll to turn off IN impatient ques-
ton sometimes, and to regard it from a
humorous point of view, instead of be-
coming irritated about it. "Wife, what
is the reason I can never find a clean
shirt ?" exclaimed good but rather i'm.
patient husband, after rummaging all
through the wrong drawer. His wife
looked at him steadily for moment,
half inclined to be provoked; then with
comical look she said: II never could
guess conundrums; I give it up" Then
he laughed, and they both laughed, and
she went and got his shirt, and he felt
ashamed of himself and kissed her; and
then she felt happy, and 80 what might
have been an occasion for hard words
and unkind feelings became just tho con-
trary, all through the little vein of hu-
NOR that cropped out to the surface.
Some people have peculiar faculty
for giving a humorous turn to things
when they are reproved. It does just
as well oftentimes to laugh 8 ings off
as to scold them off. Laughter is better
than tears. Let us have 9 little more
Of 1t at home. Saturday EVeni,sg Post

No Need OF OvercOats.

Up here in Minnesota, it is the thing
to wear great, overshadowing, over
whelming, vast, illimitable fur overcoats.
The latitude demands it, fashion has de-
creed it, and everybody that can afford
it wears one. Now the fact is, it hasn't
been nearly so cold in Minnesota as al
most anywhere else. The weather is
not severe. An ulster is burden, and
a good, ordinarily overcoat is all that a
man needs. Imagine, then, the suffer-
ing of the Minnesotian who goes prowl-
ing around in fur overcoat while the
thermometers laugh at him and the
prickly heat breaks out oil over his back
and drives him wild. If he goes into a
store, the sight Of red hot stove makes
him tremble. He takes up as much
room as three men, and the hotter he
gets the more closely he buttons his
overcoat around him, and affects to be.
lieve that everybody else is slowly freez-
ing to death, and that he is the only
comfortable man in the State. They
may be, and I really suppose they are,
really necessary up bere at times, but
since I have been in tie State have
learned to rity the men who have in
herited or acquired fur oyercoats. Iput
a borrowed one on the other day and
wore itwhile I walked a couple of blocks,
and Just before died of sunstroke, they
pulled me out of it. Extracts from the

Car and Student.

OF he late Czar Nicholas, "a Rus
sian Nihilist tells in the North Anaeri.
can RevieaD the following striking story:
A young student, relative of the
writer, had with few friends formed
literary society, in which the works of
contemporary political economists, pub
licists and philosophers were read and
debated. The secret police denounced
this society as revolutionary organiza-
tion, and the young student was i'm
prisoped and condemned to Siberia. All
possible influence was brought to bear
upon the czar, but in vain, and at last
the young mans mother, meeting the
car one day in the , summer garden,
knelt and implored her sons pardon,
asserting his innocence.
The car seemed touched, and prom
ised to give the youth personal inter
view. The latter was brought to his ma
jesty the next day, and the czar, forcing
him to his knees before an image Of the
Savior, exclaimed: "Can you swear be.
fore the Almighty God that neither you
nor your associates had any criminal
design against my life? Gan you swear
that you elieve in the holiness and eter-
nifty of the Russian autocracy ?" The
surprised prisoner answered: II can
swear to your majesty that neither I nor
any Of my friends had the remotest idea
against your safety. As to the auto
cratic form of government, cannot con-
scientiously swear thatI believe in its
eternity. The history of other coun-
tries teaches rs that the time must come,
even in Russia, when the people itself
will take part in its government.
The czar tenderly embraced the stu
dent, and giving him ring drawn from
the imperial finger, said: "This is
q token of respect from your czar. You
have been sincere and truthful to me,
and there is nothing I hate so much as a
lie." he then approached the writing
table where lay the students sentence
of exile, and with one stroke of the pen
signed the paper. "Ipity you from the
bottom of my heart" he said "you are
an honest man; and an honest man,
true to his convictions, is more danger
GUS to autocracy than an unprincipled
rascal. Therefore, I must punish you,
though never was this duty more pain
full to me than now. God bless you, my
son, and Judge me mercifully if should
appear to be in the wrong" Then once
more embracing tho student, he dis.
missed him to Siberia.

Richness both WAYS.

He had been sitting still 80 long that
the mother expected to find him asleep
when she looked around and asked
well, Harry, what are you thinking
"Ma, are we very rich p" he solemnly
inquired, by way Of reply.
"In one way we are," she said !;
"your father says he values me at 49,
100000, you at 50, 900, 600 and the baby
at 81, 900, ,000."
That closed the conversation on that
subiect. but the next morning as Harry
was getting on his overcoat he examined
the new patch which had been added,
and coolly observed: =,
"Wen, think father had better sell
off about half Of you, or the whole OF
