Some Hens Wives.

Three men of wealth meeting, not long
since, in New York, the conversation
turned upon their wives. Instead of
finding fault with women in general, and
their wives in particular, each one obeyed
the wise mans advice, and "gave honor
unto his wife,
">I tell you what it is" said one of the
men, g they may say what they please
about the uselessness Of modern women,
but my wife has done her share in secur-
ing our success in life. Everybody
knows that her family was aristocratic.
and exclusive, and all that, and when
married her she had never done days
work in her life; but when W. & Go.

foot of the hill again, she discharged the
servants, and chose ont q neat little cot
tage, and did her own housekeeping IN

"And my wife," said second, j." was
an only daughter, caressed and petted to
death and everybody said, We'll, if he
will marry a doll like that, hell make
the greatest mistake Of his life; but
when [ came home the first year of our
marriage, sick with fever, she nursed
me back to health, and Inever knew her
to murmur because I thought we
couldn't afford any better style or more
luxuries.

speakers eyes grew suspiciousiy moist,

The Wrong Leg.

The Portland Advertiser tells the fol-
lowing story There was an eminent
sergeant-at-law some years ago who had
a cork leg that was triumph of artistic
deception. None but his intimates knew
for certain which was the real and which
was the sham limb. A wild young wag
of the Guitar bar" who knew the SER
geant pretty well, once thought to util-
lie this knowledge of the sergeants
secret to take In a newly-fedged young
barrister. The sergeant was addressing
Especial jury at Westminster in his usual
earnest and vehement style, and the wag
whispered to his neighbor, "You see
how hot old buzfuz is over his case :;
now, I'll bet you sovereign I'll run
this pin into his leg up to the head, and
he'll never notice it, he's so absorbed in
his case. He's a most extraordinary
man in that way" This was more than
the greenhorn could swallow. so he took
the bet. The wag took a large pin from
his waistcoat, and leaning forward drove
it up to the head into the sergeant's leg.
A yell that froze the blood Of all who
heard it, that made the hair Of the Jury
stand on end and caused the Judges wig
almost to fall off, ran through the court.
By Jove, it's the wrong leg, and I've
lost my money!. exclaimed the dismayed
and conscience-stricken wag, quite re-

The famous archaologist, Schliemann,
wrote from Athens to a Russian paper,
as follows {" have just returned from
Asia Minor, where have at last finished
that digging out of Troy which I began
in 1870. During ten years I have strug-
gledwith great difficulties, among which
the most troublesome has been the large
amount Of debris under which the an
cient city was buried. It has been neces-
sary to dig down and dig up the ground
for more than sixteen yards below the
surface. But I am fully recompensed
for all my trouble. I found the remains
of seven different cities the last of them
was the Ilion of Homer. That city was
built by the Holians, banished from
Greece by the Dorians in the eleventh
century before our era. In one of the
buried cities I found many statues of
Minerva with the owls head, whence
her name of Glaucopis. In another city
were found many images of the di-
whites. But the most interesting
and important of all the discov-
cries is, Of course, the city of King
Priam. Every article found in the ruins
of that city bears unmistakable signs of
having been destroyed by fire and in
time of war. There were discovered
many remains of human bodies in full
armor. dug out and cleared away the
debris from the entire wall that sur
rounded the city. and also from all the
principal buildings. Now I am finishing
a large volume in English describing
with full details all my discoveries, and

This is our first experience IN running

when we placed our name in the columns
OF the Clarion, as the responsible person
for the matter that happened to find its
way into these columns, that anything
would ever happen that we would have

is the case. We have either got to give
up the freedom of the press or have
head put on us. The item which ap-

biscuits and slack and sour barley water
has got to be apologized for. Last

there suddenly appeared before our gaze
the slandered "Professor. He COM

he would make lunch out of the writer.
We entered protest, but to no use. He
claimed he was 400 miles from home,
both heels run over, and all wool and a
yard wide, warranted to neither rip nor
ravel, and had killed enough editors to
make corduroy road from Lookout

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Rows.

Inv A1OgSs
There come the boys! o dear the noise,
The whole house feels the racket;
Behold the knee of Harry's pants,
And weep DER Bertie's jacket.
But never mind, If eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow straight and timber;
we'd rather lose the trees whole bark
Than find unsound the timber!
Now hear the tops and marbles roll
The floors-O, woe betide them
And must watch the banisters.
For / know boys who ride them!
Look well as you descend the stairs,
/ often find them haunted
By ghostly toys that make no noise,
Just when their noise is wanted,
The very chairs are tied in pairs,
And made to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out of sticksl
What brave hats made Of paper!
The dinner bell peals loud and well,
To tell the milkman's coming;
And then the rush of =" steam-car trains"
Sets all our ears a humming.
How oft say, What shall I do
To keep these children quiet?"
If could find good receipt,
certainly should try it.
But what to do with these wild boys,
And all their din and clatter,
Is really quite grave affair
No laughing, trifling matter.
"Boys will be boys "-but not for long;
Ali, could we bear about us
This thought-how very soon our boys
Will learn to do without US!
How soon but tall and deep-voiced men
Will gravely call US 6 Mother :"
Or we be stretching empty hands
From this world to the other.
More gently we should chide the noise,
And when night quelis the racket,
Stitch in but loving thoughts and prayers,
While mending pants and jacket.

The beautiful unglued curls were float

waves.
"And what it this ?" said mamma, as.
having rescued the other parts, her hand
plunged and brought up the head.
Dripping Honiton lace was hanging
from it. "Did anybody ever ?" centin-
ued mamma, pulling at the lace. and
drawing out yard after yard.
Further investigation followed; dolly
was dissected, and marvellous anatomi-
cal structure was revealed. You see
how it was, do you not? 1t was one of
the Hackett dolls which, by mistake.
did not get its lace insides taken out, on
its arrival in America.
Of course, the matter couldn't be kept
out of the papers it was published far
and wide. presume you read an ac-
count Of it. Some custom house off
GERS did, and the Hacketts did not. They
took London paper, setting it down
that American newspapers were SEN
sational and unreliable. The custom
house folks had their explanation about
the lace-stuffed doll the lace was snug
gled lace. They wrote it down on their
memory's tablets, beware of dolls ~
Mr.. Hackett was coming in on a second
venture while this inscription was fresh
on the tablets.
When his dolls were exposed for in
spection, the investigator took one in
his hand. 1t was beautiful creature,
with long Saxon curls, black eyes,
bright cheeks and rose bud mouth.
There is surely not little girl in all the
world who could have looked at, it
without futter. What do you think
that hard-hearted officer did? He
took the head in his right hand, the
bright face against his great palm,
while the left grasped the darling just
over the little heart, if there had been a
heart in its body. He laid the neck
across the boxs edge and broke the
pretty head off, so that it would have
bothered Master Haclett, expert that he
was, to reconstruct that doll.
Doubtless there never was another
lot Of dolls that paid higher fee than
Mr.. Hackett's for admission into oul
country-St. Nicholas.

The Elephant Myth.

The elephant of our childhood no
longer exists. Like behemoth and levi
athan and other mythical creatures in
whom we once implicitly believed, he
has been proved to be Pigment of the
Oriental imagination. The authority
upon which we make this unwelcome
announcement is no other than Mr..
Sanderson, who has for many years
filled the post of Superintendent of Ele-
plants to the Government Of India, and
who stands in the same relation to these
animals that Sir Joseph Fayrer occupies
toward tigers and venomous snakes. In
lecture recently delivered to the Unit
ed Service Institution at Simla he
roundly calls the elephant "positively
idiotlc in its attempts to escape when
captured" and talks OF sits want of or
iginality and its positive stupidity in
many things" In short, in the facul-
ty of reasoning it is far below the dog
and many other animals" Nor will Mr..
Sanderson allow the estimates of its
great height Out Of many hundreds
he has measured in Southern India and
Bengal, he has not found one reaching
ten feet at the shoulder. Yet one disil-
fusion more. The elephant-hunte in
both Ceylon and India corroborate Sin
bad's stery that elephants, when they
feel the approach of death, retire to a
solitary and inaccessible valley and there
die in peace. But Mr.. Sanderson,
though he admits that no living man
has come across the corpse of wild ele-
plant that has died natural death, at
tributes this rather to their extreme
longevity, which he is disposed to place
as high as 200 years. This explanation,
however, seems to us to violate that
rule of scientific hypothesis which re-
quires that the cause should be adequate
to account for the result.-PoU Mall

MY GREED.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

l hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen that when
We climb TO heaven, tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme-a vain pretense
Where center is not can there be
Circumference?
This moreover hold, and dare
Affirm, where'er my rhyme may so
Whatever things be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether IL be the lullabies
That charm TO rest the nesting bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs,
And bushes without word;
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly-sumptuous garden bowers,
Or by some cabin-door, or bush
OF rugged flowers.
IT'S not the wide plylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, or stated prayers,
That makes us saints; we Judge the tree
By the fruit it bears.
And when q man can live apart
From work, or theological trust,
i know the blood about his heart
Is dry as dust.
