JERRY's SIGNAL.

Jerry and an old neighbor had gone
on the bay during the thaw that prece-
ded the bitter cold. They were outside, ,
and must wait for the turn OF the tide to
get over the bar. They were not pre-
pared for such sudden change in the
temperature. 1t grew colder and still
colder. Their friends on shore built up
brushwood fires as beacon lights, but
their boat was already fast on the ice;
even if they saw the signals they were
helpless under the benumbed influences
of that icy wind. They driited out be-
yond the icy shores into eternity.
A few days after this Tom came to tell
me the sad news that poor old Jerry's
body had been recovered. He was
found dead in the bottom of the boat.
''Jerry always said." continued Tom.
'that he had prayed to be allowed to
give some sign that he was faithful
until death, and that God was with him
to the end. His prayer was granted,
he gave the sign"
"What was Up" l asked.
"He took piece of an old flag and
tied it on the oar and planted it on the
ice. l know Jerry meant by that I've
got the victory" .: +f,f.s, e.,
''Is that all!'' said, in tone of dis
appointment, expecting something else,
although | could scarcely say what.
Tom went on to say. "What makes me
feel more than al, ma'am, is, that il
Jerry hadn t been So forgetful of him.
self he might have been alive this min
ute. You see old Bill was with him,
and what Dies Jerry do but take oft his
own overcoat and puts it on old Bill,
and wraps his comforter around Bill's
| neck. and so he saved Bill alive but he
| was froze dead himself" -.z ~ -..
Tom, that was the sign that Jerry
gave that he was faithful until death
| That was the true christian spirit. He
needed not flag tied on the oar. He
gave his lie to save another; he was
faithful to the end aud Christ was with
him! That was the truest signal poor
Jerry could give"

A MULES RESERVED POWER.
louisville CourIer-Journal I

This mule looked like he was 1873
years old, and was dead standing upon
his ieet. He was hitched to pine e-bodied
spring wagon. with high dashboard.
The team was standing on the levee
in mute silence, while the old darkey
who ''drlv" it went aboard the wharf
boat. A tramp could make barrel of
money selling pictures of that mule, la
belled Patience" His long flabbY ears
hung down each side OF his head like
window awnings with the rods cut OF
them, His face wore sober look, while
out OF his mouth hung a tongue eight
inches long. His tail swung down from
the rear end OF his hurricane roof like a
wet rope, while his whole body seemed
as motionless as death itself. Presently
a red-headed urchin, with an old boot in
his hand, walked up in front OF him,
and, looking into his face, saw that the
mule was asleep. He walked around,
climbed up inte that wagon, leaned over
the dashboard. lifted that mules tail,
and let 1t come down in time to catch a
death-grip on that bootleg. That mule
woke up SO quick that he kickad the boy
and the dashboard twenty feet into the
air. He didu't stop there. He changed
the positions OF his ears, hauled in his
tongue, planted his fore feet, and his
head between his knees, and from the
fore shoulders to the tip OF his trunk was
in lively motion, and he didn't look like
he was more than two years old, the
way he was kicking that old wagon. body
into kindling wood with his heels. He
had it all to himself, and was doiug fine,
when the old darkey rushed IN tha hi 4

A TALE OF BIRD LOVE.

The male of pair OF robins. once
owned by Lieut.. j. c. Shepard, OF New
London, afterward the pet of Col. p. w.
Hudson, Of South Manchester, formed o
friendship last spring with mateless
free robin which made frequent visits to
her Gagged friend, and was fed by him
with choice worms. Finally the male
robins affections were SO completely
alienated fcom his mate that he killed
her, dragged her body into the bath.tub
in the cage and covered it with the sticks
and shreds given him to make nest of.
The free bird was then admitted to the
age, and the two mated. Later both
were freed, and during the summer they
built nest in a neighboring tree and
brooded six young ones.

within its limits as fine body OF land
for grazing and agricultural purposes as
any county in, Texas. 1t is well watered
by living streams. tributaries of the
Brazos, and has sufficient timber for
fuel and fencing. The general surface
of the county is rolling prairie, cover
ed with the succulent and far-fsmed
mesquite grass. which is superior, in
nutrltive properties, to the blue grass.
A range OF low mountains runs through
the county, and Buffalo Gap is one OF
the passes in this range. The TIMBER is
mesquite. postoak,4 pecan and cedar
The streams are we'll stocked with fish,
and there is an abundance of wild game,
such as antelope, deer. turkey and bear
Good land can be bought tor 81 SO ar
