That Barrel.

Just as the last rays of the setting
sun were gliding the church spires
and whitewashing the back kitchens
of Detroit the other afternoon a man
and barrel were discovered at &
stairway on Monroe avenue. He
was small man and it was big
barrel, and pedestrians who saw him
looking up the stairs and back at the
barrel inferred that it was his inten.
tion to elevate it to the third story
But how?
"Id rig a tackle and pulley in that
third story window" said the first
man that halted. That's your easi-
est way, and there's no danger of ao-
cident," 2asm.
He leaned against the lamp post
to calculate on the length of rope
and the lifting power required, and
along came a second man who took
in the situation at glance and said:
"Go and get some scantlings four
teen feet long and lay 'em on the
stairs. Then two men can roll that
barrel up there as slick as grease"
The little man looked around in a
helpless sort of a way, and a third
came clustering up and called out:
"Want TO get that barrel up stairs,
eh? Well, now, fasten your pulley
at the head of the stairs, and ten men
down here can snake the barrel up
in no time. Where's your tackle?"
By this time the crowd had increas-
ed to twenty; and was pretty evenly
divided between a dead lift through
one of the front windows and pull
ley at the top of the stairs, but the
man who suggested the skids had a
very loud voice and was determined
to carry his point. Taking his coat
off, he said:
81 know what I'm talking about,
and say that l can skid that barrel
up there alone. You just wait min
ute."
He crossed the street to an unfn-
ished building, and returned with a
couple of 2x4 scantlings and laid
them on the stairs, and the crowd
now numbered fifty. ai-
"You want this barrel on the third
floor, do your" he asked ofthe little
man.
"Yes, but-but-." g
"But what?"
"Why, 1 was waiting for my wife
to get the clothes-horse out of the
upper ball. She's all ready now, and
I'll take it up"
And the little man shouldered the
barrol and trottea briskty up stairs
between the skids. Il was empsys!-

Auecdote OF Beu: Butler,

Ben. Butler was called on by a
person who wanted to have a talk
with him. aai -an.ae sn il.-- 'i-'
Mr.. Butler, said he, one of my
neighbor's cows jumped my garden
gate last night and completely de-
stroyed my flower beds. The gate
was of the height required by law,
and was closed. Now l wish to
know whether / can obtain damages?
Most assuredly, replied the wild
ow's friend.
Well, Mr.. Butler, how much.
Oh! about ten dollars,
But Mr.. Butler, triumphantly, the
COW was yours.
All! said MIR. Butler, thoughtfully;
and he looked unutterable things out
of his bad eye. Then he turned to
his desk, scratched off few lines on
piece of paper and handed it to the
visitor. 1t was in the form of an ac-
count, and read as follows:
B. F. Butler to Mr., DR.: To
damages caused by COW, $40; by
legal advice Or, SIS; balance due me,
s5.
Mr., said Mr.. Butler, softly,
you needn't hurry about the payment.

He Didn't Want to Get Rich.


Mr.. Garfield wanted to have lit
tie talk with his grocer a morning or
so ago. He began as follows:
II bought quart of cider here the
other day"
"W as it good?"
eyes, sir; it was frst-class, and
measured it, too"
"Was it all right?" inquired the
dealer, turning a little red in the face.
mo, sir; the measure was wrong.
You gave me little too much
about cupful over. And then the
other day 1 got pound of coffee
here. l took that home, and weigh
ed it, too"
allow much did it weigh, sir?"
"Just pound to hair. | also or
dered peck of potatoes yesterday.
L measured them, and what do you
think?"
81 don't know, I'm sure" said the
grocer, breathlessly. ~
"There was exactly a peck, You
have made but one mistake since |
have been dealing with you. The
week before last, when | ordered a
mackerel, you sent me two stuck to-
gether." ef
II never make mistakes in my own
favor" murmured the grocer, as he
rubbed his hands together, and
chuckled with pleasure.
81 know you don't; [ know you
don't; and that's where you make a
fool of yourself. l have noticed all
along that you are perfectly square,
so thought I'd just step down and
give you, some good advice before
you ruin yourself and family. If you
are or pretend to be business man,
and want to make money, you must
reform; turn over new leaf; convert
yourself to the system of giving short
weight. You'd like to live in a
snowy cottage, with lilac bushes in
side the fence and cast iron repre-
sentation of Dolores squirting crysta-
line gems up in the air, wouldn't your"
"Indeed I should, sir"
"And wouldn't you like to dress
your wife in style, have carriage
for her, and enable your daughters to
be.educated in Europe and marry
counts, and send your son to college
and make paragrapher of him, eh?"
'That would be NICE"
"Well, it is in your power to do
these things. You may as well as
not hold your head up like a Con-
gressman. Now, l have an agency
for false weights; fourteen ounce pie
ces are marked two pounds, and 9TH
er weights in proprotion, and l
should like to supply you on condi-
tien that you won't use them in max
ing up my things"
II don't think [ care for any to-
day, SIR" !.
"None to-dayl None to-day |!
Here / come aud offer to PROSTATE
you with wealth and happiness, and
you won't allow me to Throwing
away a golden opportunity when it
is rammed right under your nose.
Good morning,I have no more time
to waste; good morning" Then ne
stepped out.

OTHER MEN.
The Golden precepts OF our God, .
The thorny path our Christ hath trod,
Seem meant for other men,

The Golden precepts OF our God,
The thorny path our Christ hath trod,
Seem meant for other men,
The pulpit, in its eloquence,
Feels every word that drops from thence
Is meant for other men. ff
The sin it sees, the crimes unseen
The outcast SOUL the wretched mean,
Are all of other men. ai.e -as-
And so from pul pit down it goes ~
The list of sins our paper shows Ha-
f Are deeds OF other men. -
And all good Christians as they read
Rest safely in their chosen creed, 81
t And sigh for other men
"God save those souls; but as to ours, g.
We do not fear the threatening powers
rs Which conquer other men,"
And yet. oh reader, search your heart, =
And see how little tits apart
81 From those Of other men.
How much of strength is due to chance
The happening of circumstance
To you and other men.
In prosperous days you fear no fall;
But tickle fortune changes all
For you and other men.
Oh, how much better it would be
If you could onIy-only see
YourSelf rs other men
See all your meanness and how small
AT best you are, and, after all,
How like those other men.
