He Would Br6 g

A party of young Hen travelling in
Europe, had among them citizen OF
our great republic who was so thor
oughly patriotic that he could see Nc
excellence in anything in the OldWorld
as compared with his own country.
Mountains, water fall. churches, mOnu-
ments, scenery, and all other objects OF
interest were inferior to what the Uni
ted State could show.
His companions became somewhat
tired of his Ovel weening bOastfulness
and determined to take him down q
peg" The party spent winter in
Rome; and one evening, having all
things prepared they induced their
Yankee friend to engage in a drinking
bout, and so managed to keep sober
while he got gloriously drunk. There
upon they took him into the catacOmbs
laid him carefully down with a candle
in reach, and retired short distance
out ofslght to wait for developments.
After a while their friends reused up.
having slept off his drunken stupor,
and in state Of some astonishment,
began endeavoring to locate himself,
at the same time muttering:
"Well-hic-thi's little strange
Wonne-where am l, anyway
He got out a match, lighted his can
tie and began to study his surround
ings. On each side wele shelves piled
with grinning skulls, and inches filled
with skeletons. while all around were
piled legs, arms, ribs an'l-vertebra-a
ghastly array, and altogether new to
him. He nodded 20 the skulls on one
side with drunken "How do yOu do
-hicT' and on the other side with how
do you feel-hic-anyway?" took a
look at his watch, and one at his sur
roundings, got on his feet, took off his
hat, and holding it about his head, re-
marked loud enough for his friends to
hear:
rs all right;--hic-all right. Morn
ing of the resurrection, by jingO-hlc!
First man on the ground-'rah foo the
United States. Alters ahead. 'Rah
for me, specially"

Thought He'd Get Trusted

A small boy with a big cent in his
hand stood before Michigan avenue
grocery for long time yesterday be
fore making up his mind to ENTER
When asked what he desired, he in
quired:
''If a boy should come here and get
trusted for a stick of gum, how much
would it be?'
"One cent" was the reply.
"And ifa boy should come here with
the cash, how much would it be?'
"Just the same"
"Then l guess I'll get trusted" quiet
ly replied the financier as he slipped the
cent into his pocket.-Detroit Free

She trembles like dish of jelly, and

POETRY.
FALLING.

The last leaves are falling,
Falling and flying,
Along the dark air
The tempest is crying,
The trees are all bare.
With its voice of despair
Winter is calling
The leaves to their falling
How fair was their budding;
Their golden unfolding;
Their verdurous gloom,
And delicate splendOr,
More lovely than bloom;
With tracery tender
And emereld plume
The wide forest studding.
How bright was their dyingl
What rashness of glory,
The rainbow defying,
On mountain sides lying,
In valleys reposingl
What wonderful story
Their bravery told
In scarlet and gold;
But wan with the cold
They are falling and flying.
Yet, once de5pairing,
A a low voice is singing:
"They have their repairing;
Far down in the earth
In springtime preparing
Her wonderful birth,
Her ever unspringing,
Reiterant mirth.
But for thee. but fer thee,
Sole leaf of the tree,
All gohe before thee,I
What springtime shall be?
There remaineth for all
That thou falli"i

A Letter from johnny to his Pa

Johnny Precosh appears to be dull
boy, and folks are not apt to be guard
ed in their actions and remarks before
him. But there is an active brain in
Johnny's frowsy head, and quick wit
behind his sleepy manner. that is liable
to breed broils and contentious unless
some people are more circumspect in his
presence. His father had been to a
distant city on a visit, but returned
yesterday. A letter from johnny
brought him home two or three weeks
sooner than the time originally fixed
for his return. Thus ran the letter:

AARON LEAVES HECTORIA AND TAKES
DUDLER ALONG. BEN REMAINS A FEW
WEEKS LONGER IN THE CITY
The brothers called on the Dulcets
very frequently and became great friends
of the house. Ben played chess with the
old man, croquet with the ladies, and all
sorts of tricks with Mrs. Helen, who had
knack of teasing him. He read Tain's
Philosophy of Art with Lille and was
made to talk and to reason whenever
company was at the house. There was a
Presbyterian minister often calling at
the house and with him Ben would dis
