Childhood. Youth and Manhood.

Ii Is mans destiny still to be longing
after something, and thus the gratifica-
ton Of one set of wishes but prepares
the unsatisfled soul for the conception
OF another.
The child of year old wants little
food and sleep; and no sooner is he
supplied with sufficient supply Of
either Of these things, than he begins
whlmpeting or yelling, it may be for
tho other.
AT three, the young urchin becomes
enamored of sugar plums, apple pies
and confectionery.
At six, his Imagination runs on kites
marbles and tops, and abundance Of
playtime.
At ten, the boy wants to leave school,
and have nothing to do but 60 bird
nesting.
AT fifteen, he wants a beard, and a
watch and pair of boots.
At twenty he wishes to cut figure
and ride horses; sometimes his thirst
for display breaks outin dandyism, and
sometimes in poetry; he wants sadly to
be in love, and takes it for granted
that all the ladies are dying for him.
The young man of twenty-five wants
a wife; and at thirty he longs to be sim
gle again.
From thirty to forty he wants to be
rich, and thinks more of making money
than spending it. About this time he
dabbles in politics, and wants an Office.
At fifty ne wants excellent dinners
and considers nap in the afternoon
indispensable.
The respectable old gentleman Of
sixty wants to retire from business
with a snug independence of three or
four thousand, to marryl is daughters,
set up his sons, and live In the country !;
and then, for the rest of his life, he
wants to be young again.

The Second Explosion.

They were In the back yard. One
was boy Of twelve, and the other had
seen only half as many years. The
younger one sat on a barrel, and the
older one had two ounces Of powder in
one hand and a turning stick in the
other.
81 don't want to be blowed, whined
the boy on the barrel trying to get
down.
"Keep right still, bub, commanded
the other. This thing has been figured
right to a science. If forty-five thou
sand pound of explosives raised He'll
Gate twelve feet, two ounces of powder
will raise you inst exactly the 1lftieth
part OF an inch. Don't make an alarm
ist of yourself"
but it'll hurt" persisted the small
boy.
at can't, say! Haven't figured on
itf You may unbutton your coat, and
keep your mouth shut, but that's safe
guard enough. Now, ther, keep quiet
and listen for rumbling noises.
The powder was we'll confined under
the barrel. Figures were at fault. The
head of the barrel went up, the small
boy went up, the big boy went end
ways, and when the smoke cleared
away things were badly mixed up.
The big boy had sore legs. The little
boy was as black as a coal and choking
with the odor, and woman ran out
and shouted, T'll blow-vou good-for-
nothings! There's shilling barrel all
split to pieces, two pair of pants to be
patched. one coat-tall on the roof, and
the other just hanging, and the poor
dog is wedged under the house so
tight that he will have to be drilled out
by a machinist."

against the back of his cOat-tails
and doubt If he could keep from turn
Ing back somersaults most of his time.
"You say the coroner was not i'm
pressed with these viewsS"
"No sir; he allowed that the man
may have been circus actor, and have
had a hinge put on his back on purpose.
But when pointed out that the man
had row of teeth in his shinbone, and
that some of them were as big as a wal
nut, and showed him that for man to
attempt to eat his meals with his shins,
or for a man to have the toothache near
to his toes, was in violent antagonism
TO all precedent, as well as TO the as
certalned facts about human physiolo-
gy, he said the mans teeth may have
been shifted by disease or something,
and maybe that was what killed him.
He said his grandmother knew man
in Illinois whose teeth slipped down
and began to grow upon his ribs, with
fatal results"
"Had he his grandmother affidavit
to that effect?"
"He neglected to produce it If he
had. The skeletons left foot was COM
posed of the horses breastbone. 1t

pin looks like the Goddess of Liberty,
and as the other foot was made up of
about three feet of the animals spinal
column, while the neck was formed Of
the horses upper jaw. demonstrated
strenuously with the coroner"
"What did he sayF"
"He said that kind of man was the
kind, speaking generally, that was put
together in the Garden Of Eden, and
while might think could get up
better one, he wouldn't trust me to
tack together an idol for Digger In
dian, or words to that effect. So re-
piled, and he hit me with the horses
fibula. retaliated with the tibula,
and in about two seconds he had heav-
ed all the skeleton at me that hadn't
heaved at him. Then he winked at
the Jury, and it suddenly brought in
verdict of death from cause or causes
unknown, and then l had HIM arrested
for assault and battery"
The magistrate held the coroner in
bonds to appear at court, and when
that functionary had given the bond,
he moved off to collect his fees for the
inquest.

THE OLD BARN.

Rickety. old and crazy,
shingleless, lacking some doors.
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards In the floors,
Beams strung thick with cobwebs,
Ridgepole yellow and gray,
Hanging In helpless innocence
Over The mows OF hay.
How the winds turned around II
Winds OF a stormy day
Scattering the fragrant hay seed,
Whisking the straws away; .
Streaming in at the crAnnies,
Spreading the clover smell
Changing the dark old grAnAry
Into fowery dell.
Oh, how loved the shadows,
That cling TO the silent roof,
Day dreams woye with the quiet,
Many glittering woof;
climbed to the the highest rafters.
And watched the swallows at play,
Admired the knots In the boarding,
And rolled in the pillows Of hay.
Palace Of King couldn't match it,
The Vatican loses it's charm,
When placed in my memory's balance.
Beside the old gray barn.
Aud I'd rather scent the clover,
Piled in the barns roomy mows,
Than sit in the breath Of the highlands
Poured from Appenine brows.

spenking Hardly Ever.

In 1865, an old gentleman living
about three miles east of Nelson Fur
mace, Kentucky, named Lloyd Wimsatt,
was taken violently i'll with disease
that kept him in confinement for many
weeks, and at one time his family and
friends as we'll as his attending physi-
clans gave him up. Being under the
impression that the next hour would
be his last, yet at the same time pos
sessing his faculties and with full power
of speech, Mr.. Wimsatt requested that
the priest then officiating at the church
at New Haven, KY, be sent for, and
the minister was early at the bedside.
The room was at once vacated by the
family, and for some time the patient
and the representative OF the church
were alone. What happened then and
there remains mystery, as the patient
recovered, and in short time was up
and about; but ever since then, save
upon two occasions, he has not uttered
a word. Yesterday an Enquirer report
er heard that Mr.. Wimsatt had spoken
to his son, and In order to be satisfied
that he had, interrogated Stephen
Wimsatt, aged about 10, upon the sub
ject, the result Of which was as fol-
