Wooden Swearing.

A Sabbath school was assembled re- gently for ite monthly concert. The les- son was about swearing, and when the children had repeated their verses, the minister rose to talk to them "I hope, dear children" he said, "that you will never let your lips speak profane words. But now want to tell you about kind of swearing which I heard a good woman speak about not long ago. She called it wooden swearing. It's kind of swear ing that many people beside children are given to, when they are angry. h. stead of giving vent to their feelings in oaths they slam the doors, kick the chairs, stamp on the floor, throw the furniture about and make all the noise they possibly can. Isn't this just the same as swearing?' said she. It's just the same kind of feeling exactly, only they do not like to say those awful words !; but they force the furniture to make the noise, and so I call it wooden swearing.' l hope, dear children, that you will not do any of this kind of swear ing either"

Willing to be Accommodating.

As the express train going north over the Central Vermont Railroad few days ago was approaching Braintree Sta tion the engineer observed an old man near the track swinging his hat to stop the cars. AS soon as the train came to a halt the conductor asked the old gen. tleman what he wanted. I want to go to Roxbuly," he replied. "You can't go to Roxbury on this train" ," said the conductor, greatly disgusted at the inn pudence of the would-be passenger. "An right" said the latter, very uncon- cernedly, "I thought I'd have you stop, and you could do as you'd mind to about taking me-"

Australian Mud.

A writer of "reminiscences in Australia in the Boston Commercial Bulletin, tells the following story: One of the stories told me by driver as we jolted along had relation to the depth of the mud which covered the road. "You see, young fellow," said he, "I was driving along keeping we'll to the right of the road where the mud was shal. lowest, for I knew I had a heavy load which would prevent the coach from floating, and beside none O my horses could swim. I had just got to about where we are now when I noticed what l thought was a hat moving along on the top of the mud just little ahead O me on my left. I could not make out what it was at first, but at last I seed it was hat and felt kind O frightened. Not that I'd be frightened at hat, but what I was frightened at was that the hat was moving along in the same di- rectlon as myself without any visible means. lingo, thinks I, now here's a go; what the deuce can it bef By and-by came up abreast of it and then got little ahead of it. Then I seed there was face under the hat; jingo if it wasn't man
 "'Hallo, friend says I, 'what are you tramping through the mud in that way for? Come along here and I'll give you lift in the coach.'
 What would l get into your coach for, he cried, 'and leave my own horse 1? And sure enough he was riding horse, for saw the ears of the animal just ahead of him sticking out of the mud but the horse being tired was swimming low; yes, the mud was very deep that day P

Knowing Dogs.

The smugglers who take lace across the Franco-Belgian frontier employ the services of trained dogs. A recent author says that when once laden with the for bidden goods the dog assumes spon- taneously his part of the responsibility. He starts when it is dark; finds out where the customs officers are. If he meets only one on his road he will fight him, if he cannot otherwise force his way through but if he is not strong enough for battle-royal, he hides him. self behind tree, or hedge, or bush :, and waits patiently for a favorable op- portunity. Arrived at his destination, he takes care to ascertain that no one is about whom he does not know and mis- trusts before showing himself.
