How He Got Rid of Rats.

A gentleman residing near the waters
Of the raging canal was pestered with
rats. He was plasterer. His shop, and
house adjoining, were overrun with rats.
His flour barrel, his bread basket and his
pantry were invaded by them, and he de-
termined to be rid of the pests. He tried
several remedies, but the rats did not di-
minish perceptibly, while his provisions
did envaribly. diminish. The rats would
come out Of their haunts in the cana. bank
on: fine days and go through company drill.
They would even stand up on their hind
feet and throw kisses at the hired GIRL
when she turned fresh pan OF cold piec-
es into the swill tub, and would then i'm
mediately start for the tub. The man Of
the house grew restless and impatient.
He tried the shotgun, and by the time he
had killed a few with that, the great re-
mainder HAD learned how to dodge the
gun. He could not sit up nights to kill
hose rats with club, SO what should he,
o? He would feed the rats with what he
bought he could best afford He thought
he would kill them With kindness, If he
could no it in no other way. So he mixed
wheat -four and plaster Of Paris, half and
half in liberal quantity, and set it down
where it would be convenient for the rat
to get at it. Be it remembered, just here
that any place was convenient for them
TO get at. The rats gathered around the
festive board as numerously as sisters
gather at a free lunch, and they ate their
fill, leaving nothing It was rather dry
meal, but the canal was ever SO handy,
and to it they went to drink. The plas-
terer, when he found the mixture all

THE CLOUD.

asa5 Far, on the brink Of day,
Thou standest as the hearld of the dawn
Ere fades the nights last Pickering spark away
In the rich blaze of morn.
s Above the eternal SHOWS.
BY winter scattered on the mountain height
To shroud the centuries thy yisage glows
" With q prophetic light.
Calm is thine awful brow;
As when thy presence shrined divinity
Between the flaming cherubim, so now
Its shadow clings to thee.
Yet, as an angel mild,
Thou in the torrid noon, with sheltering wing.
Dost DER the earth, as on weary child,
A soothing influende bring.
And when the evening dies,
Still too thy fringed vesture cleayes the light,
The last sad glimmer of her fearful eyes,
On the dark verge Of night.
So, soon thy glories wane!
Thou, too, must mourn the rose of morning
shed;
Cold creeps hefatal shadow DER thy train,
And settles on my head.
My heart as years 60 by
Yearns for the charm that woed its ravished
gaze
The sympathy Of nature wakes sigh,
And thus its thoughts betrays.
Thou, like the cloud my soul,
Dost in thy self, of beauty naught possess;
Devoid the light of Heaven, vapor foul,
The veil of nothingness.

A MYSTERY SOLVED,

The Murder of Revenue A0ent Cotton
Traced to the Perpetrator after the Lapse
Of Tsvo Years.
IGainesville (Ga.) Speciall
The mystery of the killing of Cotton, the
revenue agent, has been cleared up finally
and efectually by official investigation.
Cotton, one of the most effective of the
revenue agents, was missing one day about
two years ago. Butittle was thought of his
disappearance, az he was constantly out on
secret raids, and was man of very irregular
habits. About the time Ct the disappearance,
l}yrant, worthless fellow about the town,
told several parties that he had killed Cotton,
and even went SO far as to give the reasons
for 1t. Nobody paid any attention to it. A
few weeks ago the bones of man were found
at the spot where Byrant said he had buried
this discovery, and the man who found them
said nothing to disturb his last days. He
died in about week. everything being kept
quiet in the meantime. After his death the
discovery was announced. It was then
Thought that probably the scheme was to
protect some one else by putting the crime
on Byrant, and an Investigation was had.
The result has been reached, and proved
absolutely that Byrant was the murderer.
1t seems that Cotton had informed apon
some of Byrapt's relatives, who had been
running an illicit STILL, and it was though
best to put Cotton out of the way. One
witness testified that Byrant had offered to
see him paid if he would kill Cotton, and
afterwards tried to get hum to get Cotton out
OF town, where he (Byrant) could ssget fair
lick at him." The witness declined to do
either Of these things, and said nothing about
y. byrant did succeed in getting Cotton to
the retired place, and then struck him over
the head with bludgeon and killed him.

SUMNER AND WINTER.

In the mellow month of June
When the tawny thrushes sing,
q And the yellow cowslips spring
From the meadows by the brooks
When in dusky forest hooks,
Eltin hun wind the horn
And the scented morn
Ripens into oudiess noon,-
Then Owe to lie alone
In the grass on some cool hill,
While the meadow arks all shrill
Life is music " Care and pain
Fare but ! in summers reign.
When the hills are wrapped in sheets,
When the snow whirls on the leas,
And the icy-fngered trees
Sparkle in the moons cold light,
When the clouds in the long night
Weave pail for the dead year,
And the Keen wind hurls its spear
Right at at every one it Meets
Then my heart is never sad,
For think Of breezy spring,
And the joys that 1t will bring
Of the robin on the lawns
Piping in the dewy dawns.'
