Consoling a Widow.

The humorous side of clerical
life is seldom seen by those out
side of the profession, unless
they happen to number several
clergymen among their friends.
But it has a humorous as we'll
as a serious side, and there are
few ministers who could not re-
late mirth-provoking incidents
associated with their expert
ence. Sometimes, strange as
it may seem, this humorous side
turns up when the Clergyman is
intent upon his most delicate
work, the comforting of the be-
reaved.
Many years ago, a worthy
minister of Connecticut, while
on a journey, was passing tht
house of q former parishioner
Remembering that the gentle
man had recently died, he
thought he would stop and con
dole with the widow.
She met him with a cheerful
conntenance, and they chatted
pleasantly, until he, thinking
of his purpose in calling, re
marked:
SssMadame, tits a painful sub
| ject, but you have recently me
with a severe loss"
/ Instantly applying her apron
to her eyes, she said:
"Oh yes, doctor; there's nj
telling how / feel"
"It is indeed great bereay'
ment you have suffered"
eyes, doctor, very great in
deed"
"I hope you beal it with sub.
mission?"
"I try TO; but oh, doctor,
sometimes feel in my. heart
lsGoosey, goosey gander, wher'
shall / wander?''
Doubtless the reverend gen
tleman kept his face in beeom
ing repose while in the widow
presence, but when he resumed
his journey his old horse mus
have wondered at his master
/ loud laughter.

Onlv a Mouse,


Laugh no more, gentlemen,
ut the cowardice of women
where mice are concerned. A
severe masculine censor once
declared that the most grave
and wise gathering of women,
for the most important and Sc
rious purpose, could utterly be
thrown off its balance by the
letting loose of a mouse in the
room. That was mans theory.
Here is fact: "While an Ohio
Judge was holding court, q few
days ago, a mouse. took advan-
tage of his preoccupation and
climbed up inside his panta-
looms. The attorneys and at
tendants became aware of the
situation when the Judge sud-
denly gave a jump, claPped his
hand to his legs and stamped on
the floor. The sheriff rushed
to. the rescue, and the specta-
tors rose in their seats, not
knowing what was about to
happen. The Judge whispered
TO the Sheriff, a lawyer shook
the intruder out, and in the
general confusion that ensued
the mouse escaped" Fancy
the howl of derision that would
have gone up from "the superb
or SEX" if this had happened in
a court presided over by a wo-
man! ~

Footsteps at the Door.

as we know familiar voices,
Every near and dear one call,
Coming through the silent chambers,
Waking echoes in the hall;
So with instinct all unerring,
Ever strengthening more and more
We can read the varied language,
or the footsteps at the doorl
Grandpa's faltering tread, how heavy
With the weight of fruitful years,
Nearing yonder golden city
Almost through this vale Of tears;
Steadfast feet that never loitered,
Brayely going on before;
By and by wen miss their music
Precious footsteps at-the door.
Then, the patter of the children.
Happy darlingsl out and in,
Like the butterflies and sunbeams,
With no thought of care or sin =?
Little feet that need sure guiding
Past the pitfalls on the shore,
Lest they turn aside to mischief;
Blessed footsteps at the doOrl
Then the matron, glad and CHEEKY,
Hears her good man drawing nigh;
And the children hear the neither
As her busy footsteps fly;
House musicl We all hear it y
While we love il more and more,
And we hope to welcome with it
Angel footsteps at the door!

A Literary Curiosity.

The following rather curious
piece of composition was recent
ly placed upon the blackboard
at q teachers institute, and
prize of a Webster's Dictionary
offered to any person who could
read it and pronounce every
word correctly. The book was
not carried off, howeyer,as twelve
was the lowest number of mis-
takes in pronunciation made:
GA sacr.ilegious son of Belial,
who suffered from bronchitis,
having exhausted his finances,
in order to make good the deficit,
resolved to ally himself to
'comely, lenient and docile young
lady of the Malay or Caucasian
race. He accordingly purchased
a calliope and coral necklace OF
a chameleon hue, and securing
suite Of rooms at a principal ho-
tel, he engaged the head-waiter
as his coadjutor. He then dis
patched a letter of the most un-
exceptional caligraphy extant,
inviting the young lady to
matinee. She revolted at the
idea, refused to consider herself
sacrificable to his desires, and
sent a polite note Of refusal, on
receiving which he procured a
carbine and q bowie-knife, said
that he would not now forge fet-
ters hymenial with the queen,
went to an isolated spot, severed
his iugular vein, and discharged
the contents of his carbine into
his abdomen. The debris was
removed by the coroner"
The mistakes in pronunciation
were made on the following
words: Saerilegions, Belial, ,bfon-
chitis, exhausted, financcs,deficit,
comely, ,lenHnt, ,docile, Malay cal
liope, chameleon, suite, coadjutor,
caligraphy, matinee, sacrificable,

"A Case of Suspended Anima-
= tiOn.


The New York Herald says:
Emil Bausch, of Floyd Street,
near Thoop avenue, Williams
burg, who had been suffering for
some time from heart disease, sat
down to his dinner table yester-
day seemingly in his usual
health. After partaking hearth
IIy. Of the yiands placed before
him he arose from the table, but
was taken with what he thought
a fainting fit and said he felt
sick, then, throwing up his
hands. he fell to the floor. The
family, thoroughly star tied,
though they had long. been lex-
pecting such an occurrence, has
tened to his relief and bore him
to a sofa, where, after two or
three efforts to articulate, both
respiration and pulsation appa-
rently ceased. s.l
The family physician was sent
for, but being absent, word was
left for him to call Immediately
or. hisi return. Meanwhile no
sign of life was visible in Mr..
Bausch, and the family convinc-
ed of bis death sent for an un-
dertaker, who came and was al
so convinced of the death of Mr..
Bausch. Before going back to
his store for ice and a box with
which to preserve the body until
the, time for the funeral he at
tachedI the usual Grape insignia
of death to the frontdoor bell.
He was gone an horr,9 and
then when he reached the house
and prepared to remove the bo-
dy to the box the jar of removal
startled the supposed corpse In
to life. Sneezing first, he gasp
ed for a breath, and in a very
few moments circulation that had
been temporarily suspended re-
sumed its course, and, though
weak, Mr. Bausch became one
among the living. The family
rejoiced at. the recovery, over
whemed him with attention, and
even the undertaken felt pleasure

The Water We Drink.

There is very little pure wa
ter used; that which comes from
the clouds has the best claim to
be SO regarded, but that is con-
taminated by impurities in the
air as it descends. Clear water
is not necessarily pure water.
All water from springs and
wells contains minerals. in solu-
ton; the latter, having but a
meager supply and outgo, is US
uahy more strongly impregna-
ted than natural fountains with
flowing inlets and outlets. The
purest water is found where SOL
i'd rocks, as of granite, form the
bed over which it runs. But
waters of springs and transpa-
rent rivers, exceptwhen filtered,
are meyer pure. Waters of av-
erage purity employed for do
mestic puposes are said, on au-
thority of johnson, to hold in
solution from twenty to thirty
grains of solid mater. The wa
ter of the river Jordan contains
seyenty-three grains, and that
supplied by the various compa-
nies of the CITY of London has
has from nineteen to forty
grains. The impurities that
make water Injurious to health
are organic matters, such as. are
abundanttY supplied by barn
yards, drains and cemeteries,
where the decay of animal and
vegetable substances is going
on. Some families who live on
farms, and who fancy they are
drinking the best Of water, are,
in fact, constantly imbibing
poison that will appear perhaps
in the dreaded form of diphthe-
ria or typhoid fever. The char
acter of the impurities is impor-
tant. 1t is claimed that a cer-
tain degree Of hardness, from
the presence Of lime, improves
the water for all domestic uses,
except washing, and water from
the chalk districts in Europe is
preferred to softer water. 1t is
also stated that conscripts for
the French armies who were
reared in hard-water districts
were taller and stronger in bone
than those. who were reared in
places where there was no lime
in the water. ~e

lpart with the beauteous thing e.
ven at that price. The Frank
who has had dealings with the
Greek next door may think that
six purses (e24) are too mitch,
and may betal1e himself to the
|dcor; but if he does the Turk
viii not follow him. He has
asked his price; he will not re-
duce it by a piasjre; and, above
all, she will not run after any
body, seeing that it lies with
Allah to determine whether he
shall sell his shawls or not.
Turkish tradesmen seldom make
fortunes, but they have not reach
ed the high culture which con-
sists in selling shoddy. They do
not cheat you, and they scarcely
ever become bankrupt; SO that,
on the whole, they may claim to
believe that Allah sends them
as much prosperity as they need.

Dull Boys.

Don't be discouraged. Slow
growth is often sure growth,
Some minds are like Norwegi-
an pines. They are slow in
growth, but they. are striking
their roots deep. Some of the
greatest men have been dull
boys. Dryden and Swift were
dull, as boys; so was Goldsmith
and so was Sir Walter Scott,
Napoleon, at school, had so
much difficulty in learning his
Latin that the master said il
would need a gimlet to get 6
word into his head. Douglas
Jerrold was SO backward in his
boyhood that at nine he was
scarcely able to read. Isaac
Barrow, one of the greatest di-
vines the Church Of England
has ever produced, was SO i'm.
penetrably stupid in his early
years that his father more thar
once said that if God took a.
way any of his children, he
hoped it would be Isaac, as he
feared he would never be fit fol
anything in this world. Yet
that boy was the genius of thc
family.

Some of those chaps who
wear their elbows down thin
leaning on q saloon counter
have an artificial fly with a fine
thread attached to the back and
sometimes these toys can be
handled to the amusement of q
small crowd. When an un-
known man fell asleep in a sa-
loon on Michigan avenue the
young man with an artificial tiy
was there. He took position
behind his victim, who was ly-
ing back on his chair, and pres
emily the fly alighted on the
strangers nose, walked up the
bridge and down, and settled
for a moment on the tip end.
The sleeper never moved a fin
ger. The fly went over the old
route, dove into the corner of the
left eye, galloped over to the
right, and came down to the
grand stand on the dead run,
but the sleeper slept on. 1t be-
gan to appear that he was used
to flies, and so the game was
changed. BY sticking a pin
through one of these tops you
can make quite a bee of it, tho
pin being the stinger.
When the "bee" descended
on the strangers nose every
body expected to see a sudden
start, but it did not come. Af-
ter a jab at the tip end the "bee"
crawled along up, waiting for
developments, and getting in an
occasional sting, but not even
a sigh escaped the sleeper. Tho
young man with the insect was
getting tired, when the stranger
lazily opened his eyes, slowly
rose up from his chair, and re-
marked:
"Now, then, if you have got
through fooling with my nose,
I'll fool with yours for awhileP'
1t isn't likely that particular
young man will ever dangle ar
liicial flies any more. lie was
doubled up, Strengthened out,
choked;mopped and slammed SO
thoroughly that his appetite
will run to chicken broth and
arnica for some days to come.
When the cyclone had passed
the stranger called for gin and
drank it, and said to the white
faced crowd on the bench:
"Gentlemen, if any of you
see anything peculiar about my
nose, please call around and let
m e knowT-Detroit Free
