WHAT BECAME OF A MAN WHO
WAS HANGED.

Dir. Lambert. on visit to the New
York Evening Post office, was asked if
he ever saw a man who had been hanged
brought to life. His reply was as fol-
lows:
"a young fellow was condemned to be
executed. During his incarceration he
promised his body to the prison physi-
clan in return for the tobacco that he
used. When he was dead the physician
determined to try an electrical machine
on him, but never having handled one,
called me in to help. | went. We ap-
Piled electricity to various parts of the
body, and whenever it was applied the
body moved. At length We sent cur
rent along the spine from end to end.
The fellow was lying on long table
as long as-well Hooking around the
room rather longer than any you've
got here. He sat up; opened his eyes
slowly; shut them then opened them
wide. The physician, who owned the
body, and two young men who were
helping HIM, started affrighted for the
door"
"Did the man come round all right I"
inquired the reporter, earnestly.
"He didn't lie down again. In half
an hour he spoke-asked where he was
and what we were doing with him. In
couple of hours he was on his way out
of the village as first as his legs could
carry him."
did they catch him again p
"No. The inhabitants to this day
think he was dissected."
.Ought he to have been hanged if he
had been caught ?"
"Well, there's difference of opinion
about that Certainly the physician
owned him-had bought him and paid
for him."

WONDERS OF THE ATMosPHERE.

The atmosphere rises above US with its
cathedral dome arching towards heaven,
of which it is the best synonym and
symbol. So massive is it that when it
begins to stir it tosses the great ships
like playthings, and sweeps cities and
forests like snowhakes to destruction be-
fore 1t. Aud yet it is so mobile that we
have to live for years in it before we can
be persuaded that it exists at all and
the great bulk of mankind never realize
the truth that they are bathed in an
ocean of air.
It's weight is so enormous that iron
shivers before it like glass, yet soap
ball swims through it with impunity,
and the tiniest insect waves it aside
with its wings. 1t ministers lavishly to
our senses. We touch it not, yet it
touches US. Its warm south winds bring
back color to the pale face of the invalid /;
its cool west winds refresh the fevered
brow and make the blood mantle to our
cheeks; even its north blast braces into
new vigor the hardened children of our
rugged climate.
The eye is indebted to it for all the
magniicence of sunrise, the brightness of
midday, the chastened radiance of the
morning, and the clouds that cradle near
the setting sun. But for it the rainbow
would want its triumphant arc. and
the winds would not send the heecy mes
sengers on errands around the heavens
the cold either would not shed snow fea-
theirs on the earth, nor would drops OF
rain gather on the flowers. The kindly
dew would never fall, nor hail, storm
nor snow diversity the face of the sky.
Our naked globe would turn its tanned
and unshadowed forehead to the sun,
| and one dreary monotonous blaze oflight

Haverly, the manager, who runs half a
dozen theatrical and musical compan-
les successfully in different parts of the
country. replies to an inquiry as to the
secret of his success "First-class at
fractions and publicity. The public
require to be told what you have to give
them. Advertise advertise is the
keynote which has to be played upon
in every FORM" The veteran Barnum
made substantially the same answer to
the inquiry. He attributed his success
in drawing crowds mainly to printers
ink" 1t was by ingenious advertising
that he worked up the Jenny Lind furore
to such financial success. Of course
he provided genuine attraction, in the
first place, but it was requisite. secondly
that he should make the public appre-
ciate that fact by the liberal use of
printers ink. The same fact is true in
any business. First prepare to supply
good article. and next let the public
know the fact through the agency of
printers ink-Bolttmore Herald.

THE YOUNG MAN WITH THE
WRINGER.

One day about week ago SLIM
wasted young man with clothes wringer
under his arm attempted to open the
gate of a yard on Cass avenue. He had
made up his mind that he could sell the
people wringer, and he might have
accomplished his object but for a dog
about as big as tobacco hogshead.
which stood waiting on the other side of
the gate for chance to tackle some leg
weary agent.
"I'll call again" whispered the agent
as he turned to 60, and he meant just
what he said. The presence of one dog
did not discourage him except for the
moment. He passed up the street and
in an hour returned to try again. There
was no dog there as he opened the gate,
but in ten seconds after the latch clicked
bundle OF teeth ond bones shnt around
the corner Of the house and the agent
shot across the road.
SHOW, you mark my words p he said,
as he shook the wringer at the dog, "Pll
get in there if l have to walk over your
dead body!"
He meant it again. and in the after
noon he returned. He surveyed the yard
from every point, had reasons to con-
clude that the dog was down cellar,
watching for rats, and finally opened the
gate. School children who were watch
ing say that the dog overshot the mark
by trying to swallow the agent and
wringer at one gulp, and therefore got
neither; but it was such close shave
that the young man went round the cor
ner minus his hat and one coat-tail. He
did not return again by daylight. Per-
haps it was he who tossed the poisoned
meat over the fence that night, and per-
haps it was some young man who wanted
to fall in love with the good looking girl
in the house. Some folks may think the
dog didn't find the meat, but there are
proofs to the contrary. The agent was
on hand about nine o'clock the next
morning, and to his great joy discovered
the dogs dead body lying in the yard.
The poison had done its work and he
was free to announce the merits of his
wringer to the waiting family.
A boy who sat on a fence saw the
dogs eyes open a little as the agent
passed through gate. He saw the dog
softly get upon his feet after the agent
had passed the "body." He saw some
thing like grin cross that CANNES face
as he got his legs well under him, and
then the lad fell off his roost, and only
scrambled up in time to see shadow
cross vacant lot, jumping clear over
the tops of old thistles and never mind
ing the frOg-ponds. The boy hung around
there till the dog had swallowed every
thing belonging to the wriDger except
one cog-wheel, and that he buried along
side the fence to keep for some future
meal.-Detroit Free Press.

FAITH, HOPE, CHARITY .

Faith is the violet of the SOUL
Its fragrance soothes the humnn breast
In adversitys hour giveth rest,
Without it there is no self control.
The solemn nun counting DER her beads.
The poor man struggling in the day of youth
Whereer on earth there are no human needs,
1t nerves to deeds of virtue and trnth,
1t is solace in the dying hour,
When the whole worlds glories fade from view
A secret, silent, potent power
That helps us on whatso'er we do.
OF give us faith when dark clouds lower,
That we may not, Father, turn from you.
Hope is the brightest flower
That blooms our paths along;
And, like a SIRENS song,
1t lends charm to the darkest hour.
We breathe its incense as we go,
But seldom do realize
The sweet fruition of our hopes;
A sweet perfume borne on the breath
OF all the winds thai blow,
In the morn with joyous hearts we rise,
At eve disappointment opes
A different vista to our eyes
Than the one seen through our hopes.
The divinest plant is Charity,
We OIly see it here and there
Gold hued and modest sweet and fair
Blooming in its great rarity.
We see it oft in the lowly place,
As in the higher walks of men,
With its simple, sweet and sanity grace,
Crowned with loves bright diadem.
Its incense purifies the soul,
1t makes us kind to all our kind;
And, as the years back from us roll,
Grow better both in heal and mind.
1t is chain whose links doth bind
The angels to the human soul

THE CATERPILLARs-A FABLE
"See, my son" said farmer one morn
ing, "the caterpillars have begun to
build nest upon branch of our favor
ite apple tree"
"I'll put stop to their work to-mor-
row." said the boy.
A week went by.
"My son. said the farmer again. 81
notice that our friends, the caterpillars.
have built an extension to their house"
"I'll burn them down this very after
moor" was the boys reply.
Another week went by, and the farm
er called his son and showed him how
the caterpillars had not only incloseed
the entire limb but even begun work on
another bough.
"There'll be no fruit on that branch
this year, my son, said the farmer
calmly; .your industrious little friends
have eaten every leaf
And observing that his sons face was
red with shame, the father thus contin-
ued:
II shall not regret the loss of the
beautiful apples, my son, if you will
only henceforth bear in mind the lesson
you have learned Each day has its
duties. and it is always dangerous
thing to put off attending to even the
smallest of them until the next.-Amer-

don, and all the officers had invitations.
This ball had a peculiar interest, for the
young lady who had been saved from
the wreck would be present, and rumors
OF her riches and beauty had been rife
for several days. It was said the little
steamer was her fathers private yacht,
and that he was a man of rank and in
fuence.
Jones said he should not 60 to the
dinner, as either he or Saville must re-
main for evening drill, and that Saville
loved a good dinner. while he cared very
little about it. Saville could return in
time to let him ride over about ten
o'clock and see the dancing. Saville
rather wondered why Jones did not take
his place all the evening, and felt half
injured at his default. But Jones had
a curiosity about the girl he had saved.
To tell the truth, he was nearer in
love than he had ever been with wo-
man. and he wished in calm blood to see
if she was as as beautiful as his fancy
had painted her during those few awful
minutes that he had held her high above
the waves.
AS he passed, the squire remembered
he had not been to dinner, and stopped
to say few courteous words, and intro
dueed his companion.
'Miss Conyers.'
Lieutenant Jones'"
But no sooner did Miss Conyers hear
Lieutenant Jones' voice than she gave a
joyful cry, and clapping her hands to-
gether said
81 have found him ! Papal papa! l
have found him p
Never was there such an interruption
to ball. The company gathered in
excited groups, and papa knew the lieu
tenants voice, and the captain knew it,
and poor Jones. unwillingly enough,
had to acknowledge the deed and be
made hero of.
1t was wonderful, after this night,
what change took place in Jones' quiet
way. His books and boat seemed to
have lost their charm, and, as for his
walks, they were all in one direction,
and ended at Braddon Hail. In about
a month Miss Conyers went away. and
then Jones began to haunt the postman,
which always seemed to take a great
deal of answering.
Before the end of the winter he had an
invitation to Conver's to spend month
and furlough was indefinitely length.
ened-in fact, he sold out, and entered
upon diplomatic career, under the care
of Sir Thomas Conyers.
Eighteen months after the wreck, Col
Underwood read aloud at the mess de
scription of the marriage of Thomas
Jones, of Milford Haven, to Mary. only
child and heiress of Sir Thomas Conyers
of Conyef's Castle, Kent Aud para
