Cooked Alive.

There was a hog-kiling in progress
near Huntsville, Ala, and two colored
men, Robert and Dennis Patrick,
brothers, got into dispute about each
others share in the years crop. A
long kettle filed with water was near
by. The water in the kettle had been
heated to such degree that they were
waiting for it to cool little in order to
scald hogs in it. The water was so hot
that they were afraid it would "set"
the hair of the hogs. This was the
high temperature of the water when
the brothers began to quarrel. Dennis,
who was the Oldest, told Robert that he
would put him in the kettle if he didn't
shut up, and Robert, the preacher
brother, told Dennis that, if he put him,
Robert, in that water, he, Dennis, would
have to 90 with him. Dennis caught
Robert and pressed him backward in
the direction of the kettle. He pressed
him, both of them having their arms
locked meanwhile, until they both went
headlong into the kettle of seething
water. Their piteous, awful screams
and means soon attracted otl ers to the
place, who finally extricated them from
the white-hot caldron. They retained
their senses when first taken out, and
their intense agonies were simply be-
yond description. They at once COM
planned of their hot clothes, and, when
these were taken from their limbs,
great fakes of boiled flesh went with
them, leaving their bones exposed
Their boards fell out and their hair
dropped from their heads. They had
literally been cooked alive. The sight
was such that those who Witnessed il
were well-nigh paralyzed with horror
All possible measures of relief were
tried during the night, but Robert died
next day and Dennis on the day fol.

A Dogs Tribute.

A writer in the Nation told the fol-
lowing interesting story: "In 1843 q
young and self-taught artist asked me
to allow him to paint my likeness in
oil-colors, and consented. His studio
was in the next town, three miles dis
tant, and, as often as required, I went
over; !, however, did not take my dog,
with me. It was done in Et-cat size,
and he succeeded SO well in the likeness
and artistic work that when exhibited at
the annual meeting of the Polytechnic
Society at Falmouth q medal was
awarded to it, and, as well, it was
highly commended Not only this, it
brought him into notice, and gained
him lots Of employment. The artist was
so grateful for my attention that he pre-
sented me with the painting, and J. still
have it. When it was brought to my
house my old dog was present with the
family at the 'unveiling;' nothing
was said to him nor invitation given
him to notice it. We saw that his
gaze was steadily fixed on it, and he
soon became excited, and whined, and
tried to lick and scratch it, and was SO
much taken up with it that veal
though so well knowing his intelligence
were all quite surprised; in fact,
could scarcely believe that he should
know it was my likeness. We, howev-
or, had sufficient proof after it was
hung up in our parlor; the room was
rather low, and under the picture stood
a chair; the door was left open without
any thought about the dog; he, howev-
or, soon found It out, when low whin-
ing and scratching was heard by the
family, and, on search being made, he
was in the chair trying to get ct the
picture. After this I put it up higher,
so as to prevent it being injured by
him. This did not prevent him from
paying attention to it, for whenever
was away from home, whether for
short or long time-sometimes for sew
eral days-he spent most of his time
gazing on it, and, as it appeared to give
him comfort, the door was always left
open to him. When was long away
he made low whining, as if to draw
attention to it. This lasted for years
in fact, as long as he lived and was able
to see it," u

Whist or Chess :

In choosing between these two recre-
ations for the winter evenings we
should give our vote in favor of whist.
It is not such hard work. You have
the luxury of scolding your partner for
bad play. You can charge the cards
with your in-luck. In chess there is
no soft cushion for the defeated player
to rest upon and forget his sorroWs.
In this game the pleasure Of
triumph is not SO. acute as the
pang of disaster. There is mental
strain in it which is not adequately re-
warded. When we have inflicted a
eheckmate, what is it? It is mighty
poor fruit for great deal of hard
thought. The nervous exhaustion OF
chess is one of its worst incidents. The
force which is expended in This direc-
ton would carry one through course
of delightful reading without any
sense of fatigue. There is peculiar
aggravation about chess. A game
which has been fairly won by the most
patient and laborious combinations is
often lost by single move induced by
sheer WEAKNESS. We have no desire to
reflect upon the wonderful beauty of
the problems which this game offers.
They are singula1ly fascinating, and
many of the situations in chess delight
the intellect with a thrill such as GER
tain poems inspire. But, after all is
conceded, there is more work and less
play in chess than any other game
which the wit of man has devised. Il
should not be classified with the
amusements." It is an exercise, and
a severe one.-Cj1aciaaqaati SATURDAY.

Preaching.

The great French preachers used to
write and learn their sermons by heart,
like the Greek orators of old, and one at
least Of the most eloquent extempore
preachers in the Church of England
at the present day is said to do the same.
Others might find the preparation of
notes sufficient, perhaps committing to
memory certain critical passages, as is
the habit of some of our greatest Par
iamentary orators; not but there is a
danger in trusting too much to pur-
pa1rei pa'a7aj. Every one has heard the
story of an ambitious young preacher,
who had been discoursing before Row
land Hill, and who afterward pressed
the great man to tell him which passage
in his sermon had struck him most.
"Sir," was the prompt reply, "what
pleased me most was your passage from
the pulpit to the vestry." Saturday

HARRIS GOAT.

Mary had William goat,
And he was black as jet;
He followed Mary round all day,
And liked her? you just bet!
He went with her to school one day;
The teacher kicked hiEi out;
1t made the children grin, you know,
To have that goat about.
But though old Whack'em kicked him out,
Yet still he fingered near;
He waited just outside the door
Till Whack'em did appear.
He ran his level best;
And met him just behind, you know
Down just below his vest.
Old Whack'em turned sommersault;
The goat stood on his head,
And Mary laughed herself SO sick .....
She had to 20 to bed. ..

Some Things it's Hard to Understand:

Why an endless procession of drinkers
from public Upper, will, without any
exception, drink close to the handle.
Why half the human race was not born
without hearing, and the other half with
out speech. Then the takers might talk
on in uninterrupted flow, and the hearers
exercise their especial gift without their
present puriency to speak.
Why people will 60 into society to get
bored when they can get bored just as
we'll at home.
Why the young lady who will eagerly
chew clearinghouse mince pie, will
cheerfully eschew boarding house meat.
Why mans stomach will be SO ever
lastingly squeamish at home, and at the
clearinghouse display faith like a grain
of mustard seed.
Why a woman will make excuses for
her bread when she knows it is the best
she ever made, and she knows her COM
pany knows it.
Why young gentleman swears so
m UGH louder and more copiously when
strange young ladies are within earshot
or, IN other words.
Why the desire to make a fool of ones
self springs eternally in the human breast.
Why we are SO much angrier against
him who shows us our error than HIM
who leads US therein.
Why everybody is so prompt to an
swer, How do you DOE when you ask
that inevitable question. And
Why you seem to be perfectly satls-
fed with the information cont aimed in
this echo.
Why ones piety strengthens when his
health weakens.
Why people will get married when
courtship is so sweet.
Why = man who claims to have found
marriage delusion will again embrace
that delusion upon the first convenient
opportunity,
| Why cold weather comes during the
season when it is least agreeable.
Why is it so much easier to be polite
to people whom we shall probably never
see again than to those whose good opln-
ion we have every reason to cultivate.
\ Why boys should run after the girls
when there is whole houseful at home
Why Jane finds Sarah's hateful broth

brother of Jane finds favor with Sarah.
Why man should court the gooc
