A Tale Of Blood.

A rather rough joke was perpetrated
Christmas Eve upon citizen who had
been attending turkey rattle, and af-
ter frequent efforts finally succeeded
in winning turkey. He had, mean
while, been getting into a fix for a
"Christmas jubilee" as he expressed
it, and by the time he was ready to
start for home it was an open question
whether the turkey was not as fully
able to carry him as he the turkey.
However, he started, throwing the
fowl over his shoulder and holding on
to its legs. 4 graceless scamp in the
party, seeing a chance for deviltry,
took out his knife, and stole up hehind
the carrier of the turkey as he con-
structed a rail fence along the side
walk, and cut off the unfortunate fowls
head. Ofcourse the bird fluttered and
struggled, but its owner not suspecting
anything wrong, merely changed his
manner of holding it, and finally hug
ged it to his breast, thus conveying it
home. Arrived there he carefully
placed the turkey in the chicken coop
and got to bed as quickly as possible.
The next morning his wife happened
to notice blood upon his hands and face,
a glance at his clothing showed that
it was in terrible plight, and she
aroused him hastily, fearing he might
have been wounded in fight. Nbt
more than half awake and the other
half still pretty boozy, he could not
comprehend her inquiries. He insist
ed that he had not been in any difficult
", but had spent the evening decor
ously and pleasantly, and returned
home early and perfectly sober. But
the blood lit was beyond his COM
prehension. Still he had to say some
thing, and he declared that his nose
had been bleeding just about the time
he got home, and probably in the dark
ness his clothes were soiled. His wife
thought it very singular, but she could
not see any other way it could
have happened, if he had not been in a
fight. He affected a diversion just
then by telling her what fine turkey
he had won at rattle, and advised her
to go and feed it, and be careful it did
not get out. Anxious to see the prize,
she hastened to the coop, but when her
eyes fell upon the headless fowl, fro
zen solid, she went back to the house
and commenced an Grafton to her hus-
band with the expressive words, You
old drunken beast'''

Legends of the Rose.

In the neighborhood of Jerusalem is
4 pleasant valley, which still bears the
name of Solomon's Rose Garden, and
where, according to a Mohammedan
myth, a compact vas made between the
Wise Man and the genii of the Morning
Land, which was writ, not in blood
like the bonds between Faust and Me-
phistopneles, nor in gall like onr mod
ern treaties, but with saffron and rose
water upon the petals of white roses.
In Paris in the sixteenth century an
edict was issued requiring all Jews to
wear a rose on their breast as distin-
gushing mark. In the Catholic Tyrol,
in the present day, betrothed swains
are expected TO carry a rose during the
period of their betrothal as warning
to young maidens of their engaged
state. Roses have played and still play
an important part in popular usages in
many other parts of the world. In
Germany young girls deck their hair
with white roses for their confirmation,
the entrance into the world, and when
at the end of life's career the aged
grandmother departs to her eternal rest
a last gift in the shape of a rose garland
is laid upon her bier. Julius Cesar, it
is recorded, was fain to hide his bald
ness at the age of thirty with the pro-
duce of tho RomanArose gardens, as
Anacreon hid the SHOWS of eighty under
a wreath of roses. At mid-Lent the
Pope sends a golden rose to particular
churches or crowned heads whom he
designs especially to honor. Martin
Luther wore a rose in his girdle. In
these instances the rose serves as a syn
Dol of ecclesiastical wisdom. A rose was
figured on the headman's axe of the
Voehmgericht. Many orders. frater-
mites, and societies have taken the rose
as their badge. The ''Rosicrucians"
may be instanced. The Society of the
Rose" of Hamburg, an ASSOCIATION of
learned ladies of the seventeenth GEN.
tury, is less known example. 1t was
divided into four sections, the Roses,
the Lilies. the Violets. and the Pinks.
The holy Medardus instituted in France
the custom or "La Rosierre, by which,
in certain localities a money-gift and
a crown of rosei s-e bestowed on the
devoutest and most industrious maiden
in the Commune. The infamous Duke
de Chartres established an "Order of
the Rose" with 'metrically oppo-
site intention. 81 Treviso curious
rose feast is or was held annually. A
castle was erected with tapestry and
silken hangings and defended by the
best born maidens in the city against
the attacks of the young bachelors,
almonds, nutmegs, roses, and squirts
filled with rose-water being the am
munition freely used on both sides.

A Singular Bird Fact.

1t has for a long time been an enigma
to the ornithologist how certain species
of small singing birds, which spend the
winter in Egypt or Algeria, and
the summer in Southern or West
ern Europe, ever succeed in crossing
the Mediterranean, as many of them
are not able to fly One-quarter of a
mile without resting. The Bedouins of
Northern Africa say that they travel
on the backs of larger birds, Willing
away the dreary hours of the sea voy-
age by their song, and Bedouin poetry
swarms with allusions to this charm
ing picture of the songless stOrk carry
ing on his powerful back cluster of
small songsters across the sea. And
singularly enough, the peasants of
Southern and Western Europe say ex-
actly the same. Every European coun-
try has thousands of stories about the
splendid gifts which the stork bring
along from the Nile, and among these
gifts are always mentioned as the first,
babies and singing birds. But in spite
of this remarkable unanimity in the low
er spheres, none has dreamed of finding
fact at the bottom of these tales un-
til lately, one great ornithologist after
the other-Hengliss, Rob, Hedenberg,
etc.-declares himself willing to ac-
cept the explanation; nor baye traces
of positive proof been altogether lack
ing.
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1879-03-05

A policeman was passing down Rich
mond Street last Wednesday afternoon
when he heard a womal's voice lifted
high in lamentatiOn; opening the wick
ct, he strobe up to the door, where a
woman was lying prone on the steps,
bedewlng the rubber foot-mat with her
briny tears.
"What is the matter, mam?" he said,
gently.
"Ooh, boo, OOH !" said the stricken
female.
snow, don't take on sO," said the
club carrier, with tremendous gentle
ness; "tell me what is the matter"
go, /, Pm, a-a-oOh, OOH" and
she wept afresh and copiously.
"Why, my dear, dear madam" said
the officer, "what great sorrow has
blighte your life and drove the SUM-
shine from your happy home? Where
fore are you thus east down into the
depths of anguishP Why are the foun-
tains of your being broken up, and your
beauteous eyes become springs from
winch the aqueous mud
''Get out you brute! ooey ooh 90,
boo hoo"
The sympathetic officer was nonplus-
sed He backed off step or two, and
as his great heart throbbed in sympathy
with SO much suffering, he could but
