AN ARABIAN STORY.-In the tribe OF
Neggdeh there was Il horse whose fame
was spread far and near, and BeIouin OF
another tribe, by nsme of Diher, desired
extremely to possess it. Having offered
in vain for it his camels and his whole
wealth, he hit at length upon the follow
ing device, by which he hoped to g;lin the
object of his desire. lie resolved to stain
his face with the juice of IN herb. to
clothe himself with rags. to tie his legs
and neck together so as to appear like II
lame beggar.
Thus cq1ipped,hc went to place where
he knew that Nabcr, the owner of the
horse WAS to pass. When he saw Nabcr
approaching on his beautiful steed, he
cried in weak voice:
Il am poor stranger; for three days !
have been unable to move from this spot
to seek for food. am dying; help me
and Heaven will reward you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take him
up on his horse and carry him home; but
the rogue replied:
" cannot rise for have no strength
left"
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted,
leu HIS uOl 50 " tuc Spot, anu WIFI 5rcll
difficulty, set the seeming beggar upon its
back.
No sooner did Daher feel himself in
the saddle than he set spurs to the horse
and galloped off, calling out as he did
so:
ut is L, Daher. have got the horse
and am off with it." Naber called after
him to stop and listen. Certain of not being
pursued, he turned and halted at IL short
distance from Naber who was armed with
i spear.
"You have taken my horse" said the
latter. Since Heaven has willed it,
wish you Joy of it but do conjure
you never to tell any one how you obtain
ed it,"
"And why not?' said Daher.
"Because," said the noble Arab, IAN

Struck with shame at these words, DL-

er, embracing him. Naber made him
accompany him to his tent, where they
spent few days together, and became
fast friends for life. Selected.

these poor adjectives forced into conspic-

every topic of conversation-their real
meaning and legitimate use being entirely
disregarded,-it might result in their own
reformation, while they could think, like
the gentleman in Delmonico's who listened

lady and her dapper little bean, where
every other word was lawful"
Il confess it sorey puzzles me to think what they
could say,
If something really awful were to happen in their
way,
For I'm sure with simple English they could never be
content,
But their thoughts in foreign ex ctivcs would have to
find vent.
While musing in this fashion, (reeling rather cross

And the adJectives kept dropping from the lips of

RetrOspectiOn of School Days.


On the 18th Of June. 1887, | entered
the Troy conference academy at West
Poultney as n student and spent two very
pleasant years Of academic life. BY
singular coincidence of dates, Saturday,
June ~, 1880, l revisited Poultney to at
tend the anniversary exercises of the same
academy in the halls where had forty
three years before been pupil. The like
does not often happen to any one TO re-
visit buildings so unchanged and TO sit
down in recitation rooms so familiar after
so many years have passed. To me it was
an occasion of great interest. found
the school still flourishing, under the
charge of Prof. p ii. Dunton, A. NJ, an
alumnu5 of Vermont university,-a nu-
mcrous class of students in attendance,
who gave evidence of their readiness in
the examination rooms, on Monday and
Tuesday, that they were familiar with the
subjects of their respective studies. The
annual sermon was preached Sunday
morning by Rev. NJ. D. Jump of Benning-
ton from Rev. 1921, To him that over
cometh. etc. An address was delivered
in the evening by Rev. b. B. Loomis of
Patsburgh, N. Y, on the Bible-tried,
tested and its claims established. Rev.
Merritt Hurlburt of Burlington lectured
on Monday evening before the Dolphin
society on the corruption of language, or,
as the lecture was termed, "Chin Music. "
Specimens we're given of slang phrases
not found in dictionaries yet often heard
among students and other young people
in colloquial discourse Some good adj

be forgotten by those present, but where

SUMNER IN New YoRK.-A brief visit
to the poorer quarters of the city will soon
convince any doubling person that the
pale horse has lately been galoping
through the streets for he has left indeliblo
footprints. 1t is no uncommon thing to
see shreds of Grape hanging from two or
three door knobs in the same block, most
always mingled witha little strip of white
showing that another child has fallen a
victim to the season. Undertaker's wagons
are busy on the east side; the coffin max
er's hammer has no rest. There are lines
of carriages before many doors, for the
money that could not be raised to buy all
and comfort and life for the victim
is somehow scrapcd together to pay for
his funeral. Spend an hour ut midday in
the pestlential streets of the east side and
see how many funerals you will meet
funerals of victims Of this dread epidemic
of heat.
Every day, soon after noon, two little
boys 90 through East Twenty sixth street.
dragging a toy wagon after them, covered
over with an old piece of blanket. Any
one who met them might easily imagine
that they were out to play, only that their
old mems faces do not seem to belong to
children who are used to play. AS they
90 along the sidewalk, wearily dragging
the wagon after them, people come out OF
the houses. very often other children, the
wagon stops, the blanket cover is taken off,
and the little peddlers, with broken
hammer, chip off a piece of ice, "only a
cents worth" That piece just broken off,
the tiny bit that looks likely TO melt in
the little girls hand before she can carry
it up stairs,is to make one cooling draught
for some poor invalid who has been pining
all day to slake his thirst with something
cooler than the tepid water from the hy'
drant. Other tiny bits of ice go to other
parts of the big house; the shop in front
takes cents worth; n woman comes from
across the street and buys q piece; ragged
boy, who somehow has come into the pos
session of penny, foregoes his candy and
buys and revels in a splinter of ice. These
two boys buy cake of ice from the ice
wagon, and retail it among their poor
neighbors. From this tiny little wagon
many thirsty soul gets his only pal
atabIe drink. The ice man will moi
bother with these petty customers, ever

few cakes around with n bony horse, il

THE WIDOW To HER SON.

Remember, Dennis, all bade you say;
Tell HIM we're well and happy. thank the Lord;
But OF our troubles aimee he went away.
You mind, avick, aud never say word
Of cares and troubles, sure. we've all share
The finest summer isn't always fair.
Tell him the spottng heifer calved in May
She died, poor thing-but that you needn't mind.
Nor how.the constant rain destroyed the hay:
But tell him God to us was ever kind,
Aud when the fever spread the country DER,
His mercy kept the " sickness " from our door
Be sure you tell Ii i'm how the neighbors came
And cut the corn and stored it in the barn.
'Twould be as we'll to mention them by name
Pat Murphy. Ned McCabe and Sammy earn.
And big Tim Daley, from behind the hills
And say, agra. oh say miss him still.
They came with ready hands our toll to share;
Twas then missed him most my own right hand
felt, although kind hearts were round me there,
The kndest heart beat III foreign land.
Strong hands, brave hearts, severed far from
BY many weary league of shore and sea.
And tell him she was with us-he'll know who,
Mavourneen, hasn't she the winsome eyes D.?
The darkest deepest, brightest, loveliest blue
ever saw except in summer skies
And such black hair 1t is the blackest hair
That ever rippled over neck so fair.
Tell him old Pincher fretted many day
And moped, poor dogI Twas we'll he didn't die
Crouched by the roadside, how he watched the way
And shifted the travellers as they passed him by;
Hail. rain or sunshine, sure twas all the same
He listened for the foot that never came
Tell him the house is lonesome like and cold
The fire itself seems robbed of half its light;
But may be tits my eyes are growing old,
And things look dim before my fading sight.
For all that tell him twas myself that spun
The shirts you bring, and stitched them every one.
Give him my blessing, morning, noon and night;
Tell him my prayers offered for his good.
That he may keep his Maker still in sight,
And firmly stand as his brave father stood
True to his name, his country and his God;
Faithful at home, and steddfast still abroad.

Her bright laugh revealing her teeth white az pe,rl.

But the kisses don't smell good when he kisses me
But mamma "her eyes opened wide when she spoke

curls
" Don't nobodys papa have moufs nice and clean?
With kisses like yours, mamma?-that's what mean

But kisses don't taste good that have such smell
It's nasty to smoke. and eat 'bacco and spit
And the kisses amt good and aint sweet not bit ~
And her blossom-like face wore a look Of disgust
As she gave out her verdict, so earnest and lust.
Yes, yes, little darling your wisdom has seen
That kisses for daughters and wives should be clean
For kisses lose something of nectar of bliss.

A PROPOSITION TO TAX CATs.-Mr.
Bergh, the dog cxterminator of New
York, says: 1.-The cat question is worthy
of the attention of every good citizen, and
measures should be taken to suppress all
cats that have become a nuisance. On
Saturday l visited Mayor Cooper. We
talked the matter over at length. There
were some humorous features of the ques-
tion. but we agreed in all seriousness that
there were too many noisy cats for the
good of the city and the peace of its
Inhabitants. The mayor listened to all l
had to say. and said he was ready to CO.
operate in any practicable plan to which
the board of alderman might assent. My
plan is to have the dog ordinance amended
SO as to include cats. would have every
cat taxed. If a woman wishes to keep a
pet let her have well behaved one and
become responsible for its behavior. If q
cat is worth keeping its worth paying O
tax for"

A good way to preserve bouquet for
a long time is to sprinkle 1t lightly with
fresh water, and put it in a vase containing
soap suds. Each morning take it out Of
the suds and lay it sideways in clean wa
ter; keep il there minute or two, then
take it ont and sprinkle the flowers lightly
with the hand with water. Replace 1t in
the suds. and it will bloom rs freshly as
when first gathered. Change tho suds
every three or four days. This method
will keep a bouquet bright and beautiful
for at least a month.

Kansas Llly llmrh,
During the six years from 1865 to 1871 the
Freedmen's Bureau absorbed appropriations
amounting to $l5,O00000, of which S3,7ll,-
900 was devoted to alleged educational pur-
poses. Ore special and original creation
growing out of this purely phianthropic
effort 10 pr, tect the colOred brother, was the
Freedmen's bank, provided for by u Federal
charter, to guard the money of the unso-
phisticaied freedmen. The institution was
most corruptly managed, and finally put on
its shutters with a loss Of 70 per cent. to the
depositors A year ago committee of the
Senate was appointed TO examine into the
condition of the wreck. The COMMITTEES,
Republican in texture, with the colored SEN
ator Bruce MS Chairman, has Just completed
its report, which, judging from an advance
abstract printed in the Tribune, will confirm
the worst that has been said of the misman.
agement ofthis bank. Not only did the officers
violate the charter, but they prevailed upon
Republican Congress to amend that instru-
ment 50 AS to afford greater scope for sQuan-
dering the money of their guided depostors.
In reference to several historic transactions,
headed by the Seneca sandstone contract the
report freely AYERS that large sums were
loaned not only on inadequate sec rity, but
Gin accordance with corrupt agreements be-
tween the officers of the bank and the Dor
rowers." Moreover, the expenses of wind
ing up the collapsed concern during the pa t
four years has been 1885, 1874, and it appears
to be as far from winding up now as it ever
was The committee thinks that the taithS

care to give no bonds for their faithful dis
charge Of duty, and by a singular coincidence
the charter embraced no penal provisions to
punish their intideity.
