Anc1,orIns n Horse.

\ good story is told OF an Old mari
ner who keeps little hotel down here
(writes correspondent from Coney
Island, New York's seaside resort.)
His wife was very anxious to have a
horse, sn animal in which the old gen.
tleman took but little interest, and the
old lady finally won her point, and got
her horse. The steed was of an e7ratic
and playful disposition, and used, on
the least provocation, to tear madly
along the beach, and succeeded in
"spilling" the old lady several times
At last the captain, who had never
driven the beast, volunteered to break
HIM of his vicious habit 50, getting an
other old salt to aid him, he procured
hedge anchor, with stout line attached.
Fastening the end of the line arounl
the axle. and putting the anchor into
the phaeton, the frey uutamed was
hitched up, and tbs two gentlemen
started for 3 drive along tho shore.
Soon the vicious animal espied some
thing which gave him al excuse to run
away, and Immediately dashed off with
frightful velocity. The captain dropped
the reins and summoned all bands to
s'let 90 the anchcr." The anchor was
let GO, and caught firmly in the sand.
Tho unsuspecting quadruped pranced
joyously along uutil he got to the end
OF the rope, and then he Pansed-
paused so suddenly that the phaeton
was demolished and the two old gen.
tlemen shot up into the air like couple
of sky-roekets, coming down in fear
fully dilspidated condition. The horse
is now fer sale.

4 slight Mistake.

The Paradise Reporter is responsible
for the following: A lady and gentle
man with their two daughters engaged
apartments at LEGAL hotel, room %,
being assigned to the father and mother,
and room 20 to the yourg ladies.
After retiring, one of the young ladies,
from some cause or other, being unable
to sleep, arose. thinking that after a
brisk promenade in the corridor she
might more effectually seek tho domin.
ion Of the drowey god. And after ten
minute go-as-yon-please she returned to
what she supposed to be her room, jump
ed into bed, planted her small 6's in her
supposed sisters stomach, embraced her
tenderly and exclaimed Darling /
am cold; warm me up a iittle"-to
which a deep bass voice responded /:
"With pleasure, dear" With q horri-
fed shrek she sprang for the door
and happily found room 20, the Dext
apartment. Fearing TO encounter the
knight OF her midnight adventure, she
teigned sickness, and for several days
could not be persuaded to leave her
room. She finally ventured forth to
breakfast, however, her vis-a-vis being
fine looking young fellow of military
appearance. In the course of the meal
she had occasion TO ask him TO pass
the salt when, horrors, the some bass
voice replied with pleasure" )" She

What is the direct effect OF cheap
newspapers and sensational stories on
the minds of the young? Surely not a
beneficial one. In many of them the
chief object is to throw around scenes of
vice a fascinating charm. Crime is
often presented as involving a manly
development of courage; and what is
wanting in attraction and charm in the
plot of the story, or the delineation OF
character and scene, is made up by pic
torial illustrations which are lewd and
imposing. The consequence is that the
minds OF the young are filed with ro-
mantle pictures of crime, the moial
character is slowly but surely under
, mined, and rapid transition is made
from the virtues Ut home to the vices of
the street, from the instruction OF the.
school to the chastisement of the prison.
The object is q sad one to contemplate;
and painful though the fact may be it
is all too true that many of the liber-
tines, burglars, swindlers and murder
ers who are now cursing society have
received their first impulses to crime
from the fascinating but immoral li:era-
ture of the press. The subject is excit-
ing, as it should do, painful sensation
among many classes of social and polili-
cal as we'll AS moral retormers. At re-
cent congresses in this country aud
Great Britain it has received no
more than the attention it deserves
Many stirring appeals have been made,
aud it may be hoped that they will
have their designed effect. 1t is not
enough to expose the pernicious charac-
ter and tendency of these immoral pub
locations, or to place them under sum
mary arrest. The subject should be
kept before the public, and in the writ
ings of the day only the dark side of
crime should be ! touched upon. The
immoral in popular literature must be
met and counteracted by that which is
positive on the side of virtue, and both
cheap and fascinating in price and style.
Efforts hitherto made have not been
sufficient to check the evil, which Is,
alas, growing one.

G.. Engler that when petroleum is
washed with caustic a!kalies and dis
titled in carbonic acid, it does not dis
solve metals,
The Ndtaere says shat according TO

the coefficient of expansion by heat of a

same under stress of traction as un-
der one OF compression.

wherein a water snake fifteen inches
hong, which was found imbe6ded in q
cake of lee gathered perhaps eighteen
months ago, was restored TO life on
Thursday when exposed to the sun.
The ice was taken from the ieehouse on
the place, and the snake was seen in the
center OF Jorge block. Ii was cut ont
with pick and was stiff as bone.
when exposed to the sun FOR some min
utee, however, it began to wriggle, and

sive in what | supposed to be two WELL

things may Seem but a trifie. but they
make all the difference between nice

usually prefer sweet, gentle, refined

isIl Girls may fall into this tree-and-
easy, anlady-like haiti through their

given TO refine and soften the corser
nature OF their brothers. It they do
not do this we shall no longer find in
our sisters refined and refining compan-
ions, bnt the eoarse ways aud rough
speech of young men in fiounces. Is it
not just as easy TO initiate the graceful
manners and refined speech OF a lady
as those OF rude, uncultivated boy ?"
The same general rules for correct and
pleasant behavior are safe tor boys and
girls, ladies and gentlemen. A gentle
man may entertain the highest respect
tor lady, and be on tie most friendly
and intimate terms, but if true gentle
man, his respect will withhold him from
caTelessness or roughness in speech or
action. And no lady who is truly re-
fined will brook anything approaching
3 too familiar tone. 1t is but jus:
however to acknowledge that q
Iady's manner will FIX the metes aud

offered. When boys aud girls, young
men aud uraidens, are allowed to tall
into the absurdities of low, foolish,
meaningless talk it seems to dwarf
them intellectually they can find noth-
ing OF interest or importance to say, and,
therefore, make up for sense by filing
