Did the Same as Others.

When good Governor S., who is
a devout Episcopalian, was the Chief
Magistrate of Kentucky, be was wont to
frequently entertain the members of the
General Assembly at the Governors
Mansion. To one of these levees came
with the member of his county, an old
mountaineer who had just reached
Frankfort with raft of logs which he
had brought down the Kentucky River.
The old man who was called familiarly
Uncle Johnny" soon became the cen
ter of an admiring group, to whom his
jean clothes were not at all improper at
tire for the Governors levee and his
tongue being loosed by glass of sherry
wine, which he then tasted for the first
time in his life, he was entertaining his
admirers with stories from 6 his coun-
try," when the Governor approached.
Uncle Johnny, here is the Govern
or" said one of the company and
straightway the old man was silent, for
he was overwhelmed by the first vision
of the majesty of the Commonwealth.
Go on with your story, Uncle,'' said
one ; " the Governor will like to hear
it.n
Yes, go on, Uncle Johnny said
the Governor, with kindly smile of
encouragement {; and the old man, thus
convinced that even the Governor
was also man, concluded his nara
tive.
Then becoming bolder, he ventured to
address the Governor, saying, 4" Guvner
went to your meeting yestidy, and
seen whar you SETS"
He had been to the Episcopal Church,
and had been shown the Governors
pew.
Did you, Uncle Johnny ?" respond
ed Governor s.. All how did
you like it 2"
"Well Guvner, I never knowed much
what they was ADDING, but I riz and
fell a0ith 'eDa every time" :"

SUNDAY READING.
SOLOMON RAY.

A hard, close man was Solomon Ray
Nothing of value he gave awqN
He boarded and saved,h he plnched and saved,
And the more he had the more he craved.
The hard-earned dollar he tried to gain
Brought him little but care and pain
For little he spent, and all he lent
He made It bring him full ten per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray.
The years went by and his hair grew gray,
His cheeks grew thin, and his soul within,
Grew hard as the dollars be worked to win.
But he died one day, as all men must;
For life is fleeting, and man but dust.
The heirs we're gay that led him away,
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
Yet men will toll, persist and save,
Nor carry their treasure beyond the grave.
Their gold that day will melt away,
Like the selfish savings of "solomon Ray"

Comfort In a Cloud.

A friend of mine, says recent writer,
told me of visit he had paid to poor
woman, overwhelmed with trouble in
her little room but she always seemed
cheerful. She knew The Rock. Why" "
said he, Mary, you must have very
dark days, they must overcome you
with clouds sometimes" "Yes," she
said, shut then 1 often find there's COM
fort in cloud.' Comfort in a cloud,
Mary ?" "Yes." she said, "when am
very low and dark go to the window,
and if see heavy cloud, 4 think of
those precious words, A cloud received
Him out of their sight, and look up
and see the cloud sure enough, and then
think-well, that may be the cloud
that hides him, and so you see there is
comfort in cloud"

Dip 1t up,

A ship was sailing in the southern
waters of the Atlantic, when her crew
saw another vessel making signals of
distress. They bore down towards the
distressed ship and hailed them: "What
is the matter ?"
"We are dying for water" was the
response.
dip it up then was the answer.
You are in the mouth of the Amazon
river.o
There those sailors were thirsting and
suffering, and fearing and longing for
water, and supposing there was nothing
but the oceans brine about them, when,
in fact, they had sailed unconsciously
into the broad mouth of the mightiest
river on the globe, and did not know it.
And though it seemed to them that they
must perish with thirst, yet there was a
hundred miles of fresh water all around
them, and they had nothing to do but
dip it up"
Jesus Christ says :-"If any man
thirst let him come unto me and drink. "
And the Spirit and the Bride say,
'Come; and whosoever will, let him
come and take of the water of life free
ly." Thirsting soul, the flood is all
around you; "dip itup, then !" and
drink, and thirst no more.

peered around the edge OF the large rock
that had observed and saw the fire
which caused the smoke. A large pot
was suspended from tripod over fire
klndled with sticks and matted grass.
The pot contained, what now believe
to have been q mess hardly fit for dogs
but which then judged from the greasy
odor to be hardly second to the dish Of
the gods. Two men In active conversa-
tion, stood near the fire with their backs
towards me, and one of them stirred the
savory mess while he talked. They
were dressed in the garb of mountain
eers, and were most probably shepherds.
Both were clothed in faded garments,
but all the colors of the rainbow were
there, more or less observed by the dirt
of years. My hunger was keen, so / in
troduced myself without the tedious
ceremonials SO highly appreciated in
Spanish society. l inflated my dress
and, standing forth In full view, let my
paddle fall to the ground. Startled by
noise, the men turned about and gazed
at me in superstitious terror With
shrieks of fear they swiftly turned about
and scampered off at the top of their
speed. Then / went over to the pot and
ravenously devoured its half-cooked con-
tents, scorching my throat and spilling
half of the food. never saw my i'm
promptu host after, nor did care to see
them, in fact. After my repast / dis
robed of my armor and stretching at full
length on the sward, was soon slumber-
ing. When awoke hid my rubber
covering and walked for few miles,
when 1 came to farm house and man
aged to buy another lot of greasy bread
and indigestible hard-tack. From this
| point to its mouth the river was naviga-
BILE and never more was troubled about
food. On the eighteenth day L arrived
at my journeys end. was met by the
| Governor of Casaras, his suite and many
ladies and gentlemen who had anxious
| ly been expecting me. The whole party
rode on gayly caparisoned mules to the
castle of the Governor, where 1 received
a royal welcome and rested for fort
night. Thus ended my navigation of
the Tagus, the first and only time that a
man had ever descended that terrible
river from its source to its mouth. Per-
haps, after many days the story will be
told in whispers among the Spanish
peasantry of how, once upon time,
while two mountaineers of Casaras were
cooking their morning meal, the devil
appeared to them in horrible form,
horns hoot and tail, surrounded by fire
and caused them to flee for their lives"

A LaughabIe Scene.

A ludicrous scene occurred at a depot
recently. The train which goes up the
Creek backs down to the depot, then
uncouples, and the locomotive and
couple of cars go over Centre street to
allow car from the Valley train to be
switched in. AS the piece of train
moved off, person on the stationary
car yelled. "There goes the train ~
and started in pursuit. His example
was contagious. Everybody believed
that the train was leaving them, and
rushed wildly out of the car. Two men
tumbled over the ratings in their haste
and fell in the mud. A fat woman with
a basket of purchases rushed out of the
car door, slipped, and bounced down the
steps on to the platform, like bag of
lard rolling down stairs. And when
she struck in a pool of water on the
boards, it sounded like slapping grid
die cake on to the iron. Then she yelled
murder and called for the police. A fat
old gentleman got stuck in the doorway,
until the crowd pushing from behind
suddenly loosened him, when he shot
out of the door and off to the end of
the car into the arms of the brakeman,
with speed which confused the old
man into the belief that he had collided
with the locomotive. A nervous man
followed and attempted to jump over
the fat lady, who had not yet arisen.
His toe caught in her waterfall, and he
plunged head first into the stomach of
man who was rushing to assist the lady,
doubling him up on the ground, while
yard of false hair fiuttered from the
nervous mans toes for a moment as he
waved them in the air, looking like
wellwoIn rag on the end of black
stick. Two men who had gained the
train just at Sycamore street, said to
the brakeman, " Well, we caught it,"
" Yes, you caught it, though what in
the thunder did you run like that for
when we're going to back up again is
more than can tell" The two men
got right off and stood looking into
each others faces for five minutes with
out speaking. Then said one, "is there
anything strong enough for us to drink
in this town 20 Matters were finally
arranged at the platform. The fat old
gentleman was assisted into the cars
again and two men helped up the old
lady and her purchases; procured a
portion of her waterfall-a dog had run
off with the other part-and by telling
her that nobody had been hurt by the
collision, persuaded her to take her seat
in the car once more. The nervous
gentleman was discovered trying to pull
plug hat off from his head and shoul-
ders, while in the face Of the man

Russian Proverbs.

When sovereignty is divided, it is very
soon destroyed.
His right arm is often mans worst
enemy.
Beware of a tanned wolf, and a recon-
