WATCHER.
Oh what do hear, ye mortal men,
But wonders no tongue may tell again

That only could fall from the realms of light.
The spirits of air are round me now;
Their soft wings hover above my brow.

And a radiance fall on waiting world.

Hist, thou watcher-the angels sing:
What to the world does the music bring?
What gift is ours from that realm so high
That the clouds are riven in yonder sky?

"What gift,"ye mortals of anxious mind ?
One that ye never on earth could lind;
One that the prophets and sages old
Through weary ages in love foretold;

Yea, watcher, we know but our hearts are cold

Poor mortals, know your hearts are weak:
Like the men OF judah, sign ye seek.
But is it not given? At Christmas tide,
Lo !! the gates of heaven are opened wide;
When the year grows old with its weight o

Then softly the Lord of Love appears;
The air CLEANS bright with the light that shone
When MaryS arms were the MonarchS throne

In endless measure His mercy flows.
Oh I stand on the tower and reach the skies

At Jamaica. L. l., the other day, man
shot quail in violation of the game law.
His neighbors threatened to inform the
authorities, but he got the start of them
by going before a magistrate and himself
lodging information against himself. He
then demanded half the time for giving
the information, and s. reward was re-
turned to him.

He had violated the law, and must pay
the penalty.
Some time thereafter II happened that
the supervisor, having been out to
public dinner, and drank more than was
good for him, on his way home thought
to cross the tanners yard, and thus
make q short cut. He had gained the
center of the yard, or thereabouts, when
he staggered wide Of his path, and tum-
bled into vat of the strongest liquid
His yells and cries soon brought half a
dozen men of the establishment to the
scene, and they were on the point of
pulling the luckless wight out, when
the master arrived.
No no ~ the latter cried. "Let
him be I'll never draw another hide
without giving legal notice I'll not be
fined again, If can helpit But Johnny
McDavltt, you may run and tell the
excisemen that the supervisor is in my

The unfortunate man howled, and
begged, and entreated, and stormed and
threatened-but all TO no purpose. He
remained there, the sides of the vat
being so smooth and slippery that he
could not gain hold for climbing,
until the proper officer came, and gave
the tanner permission to draw the
supervisors hide from his liquor pit

you like to hear II recited properly :"
Yes.n
You shall hear 1t. / hope nothing
tragic will occur, but, by Moses, you
shall have It,"
Arising, the wiId.eyed man darted
into an adjoining room and returned
with a navy pistol. Placing the pistol
on table he began to recite in voice
so deep and with an air so wild that
Ninaman was startled. When he came
to take up arms against sea Of troub-
les and by opposing, end them," he
seized the pistol, cooked it and placed
the muzzle against his head. "Shall l
end them with youY''
Ninaman suggested that his troubles
were not greater than he could bear, and
asked the man to lay aside his pistol.
Ah, | see you do not like tragedy.
You no doubt like comedy. Pull off
your coat and dance or I'll end your
life"
The pistol was leveled and Ninaman
pulled off his coat and began to dance.
"Whoop it up,'' yelled the man, cor
I'll end them. Pull off your trousers"
The trouser came off and the dancing
continued.
Pull Off your drawers"
The drawers dropped to the ground.
"Of with your shirt"
The shirt flew into the air. A noise
was heard outside and the landlord, his
wife and daughter were on the porch.
{" Let me go, for Gods sake" pleaded
| Ninaman.
"No, sir. I'll kill you If you attempt
to leave. You are comedian"
The door-knob turned. Ninaman
sprang towards door and rushed up
stairs as the pistol snapped.
In a few minutes the landlord came
up and handed Ninaman his clothes.
I" L forgot to tell you," he said, "that
my brother is deranged. He has an old
pistol, but you couldn't hurt anything
with it. He is harmless, but likes his
little joke"
The next morning the wild man was
in such good humor that he offered to
beat Ninaman throwing rocks at an
oyster can.

What the Old Man Feared.

A N old codger, in his latter life, had
n become much infatuated with
natural history, and as he had ample
means wherewith to procure specimens,
his dwelling became, in time, a perfect
museum, and very interesting one at
that. He had taken to himself a second
wife-a pretty woman - whose chief
recommendation to his favor had been
that she was dear lover of art, and also
versed in the preparation and mounting
of specimens her father having been a
professor in large and well-appointed
college. If you would ask how the old
man regarded his specimens, we can
best answer by telling this story:
He had been married four or five years
to his fair young wife and she had never
given him any cause of complaint. If
she was, upon occasion, rather more free
and sociable with certain gentlemen who
frequently called to examine and admire
her husbands wonderful specimens, he
did not notice, so no harm was done.
AT length, on a bright summers morn
ing, as our scientist came in from a
bivouac in the woods, where he had
been watching for parent owl, he was
met by servant, wild-eyed and fright
ened, who tried to tell him something
that seemed to stick in his throat.
"Open your mouth you rascal ~ cried
the master, seizing him by the arm, and
shaking him. "Wbat has happened 2"
80, master! A man came to your
house last night, and got into the cham
ber window by ladder, and carried
off,"
"Speak Speak !" yelled the old man,
shaking his servant furiously, while his
own face was the very picture of mortal
terror.
"What-what-did he carry away 7"
col he-he-carried away your wife,
sir 10
The old scientist let go his servants
arm, and drew a long, deep, reviving
breath.
Was-was-that all ?"
Yes, SIR"
''You rascal You came near fright
ening me out of my senses. feared the
villain had been robbing me of my
specimens :"

The Tanners Revenge.

In the old country there was a law
requiring the tanner to give at least
twelve hours notice to the excisemen
before drawing hides from his watts.
That was SO that the Government might
not be defrauded of an excise duty on
tanned skins. Well, once upon a time
a certain supervisor detected tanner in
taking single hide from one of his watts
without having given the required
notice, and straightway he complained
of the delinquent, and had him brought
up for trial. In vain was it that the
tanner plead that the hide was but a
simple sheep, or lamb skin, that he had
been tanning for the use of his wife.

The Drummer's Dance.

THE Little Rock Gazette says: Geo.
i Ninaman, st. Louis drummer who
arrived in Little Rock recently, stopped
some time ago at small cross-road hotel
in Grant County, Southern Arkansas.
The house contained four rooms and
kitchen. After supper Ninaman was
told he must spend part of the night
alone, as the family would attend a
protracted meeting in the neighborhood.
The host, with his wife and daughter,
left the house and Ninaman sat in one
of the rooms alone. His loneliness was
added to by an owl in the yard which
hooted dismally and an old red clock on
shelf which licked solemnly. The
drummer, not having been assigned to a
room, could not go to bed, and he tried
to keep awake by reading the "Life of
st. Paul." the only book he could find.
The hog g-grease lamp was sputtering In
unison with the ticking of the clock,
when the door of an inner room opened
and tall, wall-eyed, bushy haired man
entered. Without speaking he seated
himself and stared at Ninaman, who
naturally showed surprise. Presently a
conversation was begun, and the man
exhibited such intelligence that Nina
mans fears were allayed, especially as
the man claimed to be the landlords
brother. The conversation turned on
literary subjects, the man remarked:
Did you ever hear Hamlet's solilo-
guy recited property"
81 think So" said Ninaman. 81 have
heard Booth.n
Booth does not catch the spirit"
said the Strengthening man. "He
fails to engraft the twig of despair onto

From a Lover to a stsp-Father.

A strange and terrible revenge was
recently taken by discarded lover in
Indiana. He was about thirty years of
age, and had been industriously courting
girl of sixteen, but when he came to
pop the question he was contemptuously
rejected, the girl saying that he was old
enough to be her father. Upon that
hint he acted, for the girls mother was
buxom widow of only thirty five, and
he speedily transferred his court to her.
Their marriage soon followed, and now
the younger lady finds that her ex-lover
is her STEP She thought it was
funny until the couple returned from
their wedding tour, and then the newly
made step-father said to her: "My
daughter you are too fond of beaux.
Nice young men, ice cream and buggy
rides are not proper luxuries for a little
girl like you. / am old enough to be
your father, and what's more, / am.
Go up stairs, take of that silk dress, get
ready for school, and don't let me hear
beaux or buggy, ice cream or nice young
men from you again for at least three
years" And now that young lady is
attired in calico and study, vainly re-
penting her rashness, and finding out
by dire experience that lover scorned
can be ones worst enemy, especially
when he becomes step-father.
