PrOmiscuOus Love Letters.

The faculty of Baldwin University at
Berea, Ca, have abated sentimental nui-
Sance. They have been receiving annony-
nous love letters, indicative of most at
fectionate and undying love. The letters
are in an unusually neat female hand,
and are long, several of them covering
eight or ten pages al letter paper, very
closely written. The professors attempt
ed to discover the author of these letters,
but, while they were laying their plans
to ascertain who was taking so much
liberty with their affections, the minis
tiers began to receive similar letters. Fin
ally none came to the teachers, but the
number to the ministers was even great
er than had been sent to the professors.
Presently, however, the ministers received
none, put their wives and the wives of
the college professors got letters written
in the same neat hand, charging their
husbands with gross immortality. One
day last week it was ascertained that a
young lady, formerly student in the

A Home Thrust.

William Cullen Bryant, when chal-
lenged once to fight duel. contrived to
fasten the charge of cowardice on ''the
other fellow" very neatly, and with little
trouble. His reply having been incor-
rectly reported in the notices of his death,
his son in-law, Parke Goodwin, publishes
the facts as follows:
Mr.. Bryant was challenged by DR..
Holland, now deceased, on account of
offensive words that had appeared in the
Evening Post; but remembering that DR..
Holland had been previously challenged
by William Legget, withsut taking any
notice of the challenge, he'replied to this
effect.
My dear Sir:-I am not familiar with
the code of duellists, but Isoelleve that,
according to its provisions, no one has a
right to send challenge to fight duel
so long as an unanswered challenge hangs
over his head.n
Then the matter was dropped.

BYTHE RIVER.

Some laugh and dance through all their days
No shadows fall across their way,
For some the wintry years drag slow,
For some the skies are always gray;
The strong heart beats the weak heart down
In LIES amalgamation;
The good and bad are all so near,
The rich mans pail. the poor mans bier,
The wantOn's laugh, the orphans tear,
They come in swift rotation.
The tide runs high, the tide runs low,
The years go fast the days go slow;
For me care not how it seems,
So long as can dream my dreams.
The good man thinks that ne is good,
The bad man knows that he is bad,
Sleek, well-fed virtue lifts his eyes,
And thinks that vice is sad, so sad;
One hates with goodly hate
To call the other brother.
But peradVenture it may he
A startling, yet divine decree,
When truths made manifest; shall he
Change places with the other.
The tide runs high, the tide runs low,
The years go fast, the days go slow,
For me care not how it seems
So long as 1 can dream my dreams.
All, friend, you say that life is short,
To vie with men is much the best;
] care not if the world stands still,
Nor if the sun dawns in the West;
But midst the reeds upon the shore
hear the babbling river saying
This dirge of fate, TOO late! too latel"
0 idle life, 0 empty heart,
Unused to bear unSkilled in praying.

ADOG STORY.
Old Tlge's Bold Attack on an Engine.

Uncle David Dobbs, of Berwick, is one
of the leading men In the chill country"
of Alabama. He has had varied expe-
rience of life, and is regarded by his
neighbors as an oracle. The converse
ton turned on dogs the other day, and
Uncle David had his little story to relate
as follows
"Gentlemen," said he with emphasis
on the last syllable, II wish you could
have got acquainted with my old dog
Tige in his lifetime. He are dead now,
but he was the bravest dog ever knowed.
He was perfectly remarkable, and would
fight anything from bar to a bull-en-
CINE. When [ moved out to this State
from Car'lina, I fotch Tige WI me, and
you know railroads warn't common IN
those days. 1t war in 40, and when we
struck the West Pint Railroad, On the
Georgy line, US movers tuck
the track while the wagons follered
the dirt road. Wall, Tige, never seed
a lngine, and while we uns was walkin'
down the track train came along goin'
'tother way, a meetin' of US. Hit war
the fust that Tige ever seed, and he had
no idee ov givin' the road. So he jes
planted hisself in the middle of the
track and commenced to fife, and I hon
estly believe he would. Well, the thing
came along all the same, and we'uns let
the track. But Tige wouldn't, but kept
barkln' and scratchin' an back bristl1n'
up. But the thing wouldn't stop-came
right along, only BLOWN two or three
short whistles. Wall, a meetin' was
about to take place when I called Tige
off, and jes' as he lef' 1t were short time
too late The thing run over his tail and
sliced it off in three inches of his life.
Tige didn't like that and started right
back for North Car'lina, leavin' his tail
on the road. But this wouldn't do; so
we cotch him and tied up his stump, and
put him in the wagon and driv on west
ward till he got we'll and heeled up.
When we got to the Bigby CTom-
bigbee River thar war bridge over
hit. When Tige seed hit he
looked at it kinder dubious and bristled
up and begun to scratch back agin, for
he thought it war railroad train. The
first thing we knowd he had turned tail
and started back to North Car'liny ag1n.
But the boys they cotched him and took
him in their arms and carried him onto
the bridge half way, thinking that were
enough the put him down, but jis at that
uncture wagon come numbering on
tother end of the bridge, and made a
nensus racket, while nay teams entered
from our end. Tige looked both ways
and then, would you believe it? hejump-
ed right out of that ere winder Of that
bridge into the river, forty feet below,
and swum out on the wrong side. We
couldn't do without Tlge, no how; SO we
sent back ter him and brought him over
all right, and when we had settled down
and made our clearin' Tige war thar, a
always stuck to me. But stranger, when
ever we went bear huntin' or coon hunt
in, eff enybody ever footed like an en-
CINE Tige left the woods, sure. When
ever he went to sleep on the hearth, eft
ever eny of the childurn said foot, t0ot!'
he'd be sure to growl in his sleep and to
bristle up. He war mighty brave dog.
I'm sorry he's dead"

THE PHANTOM SHIPS.

The little ships, the phantom ships,
Mere films OF cloudy air,
Go gliding past through light and shade
Through CLEANS and lustres rare,
Or where the moonbeam's silver path
Sheds glory DER the sea,
Or where the sunbeam's splendor
Rests in its majesty.
The little ships, the phantom ships,
Mere tiny films of gray,
Go sailing, sailing past the cliffs,
And past the frothing bay,
Are they from East, or from the West
From Turkey or from Spain;
Or but the shadows of dream ships
Gliding across my brain?
These phantom ships. the phantom ships,
With sailing wings spread gray,
Flaunt forth no crimson pennons
In chivalrous display;
Steer down the channel, past the shoal,
With no rejoicing cheer,
With no resounding cannon,
Nor fire-fash glancing clear.
Those phantom ships are like the hopes
OF days long since rolled by;
Der dreamland seas they glide along,
Their gray sails mounting high.
Glide on-glide on! We shadowy fleet,
And bear your dead away,
Past glittering sands and rampant cliffs
And little frcthing bay!

A Benevolent Action.

Some days ago, says an English paper,
a tender-hearted stranger Of well-4ss-dO
exterior, passed by the broad stone steps
of Warsaw Cathedral, perceived a poorly
dressed woman crouched az their foot,
weeping loudly and wringing her hands
in deep tribuIation. Touched by her
evident distress, he stopped aud asked
what was the matter.
Kind, gracious SIR replied the sob
bing woman. II am the most unfortunate
woman IN the world I want to GET my
baby ehristened, but the Pope demands
two roubies, and l have not SINGLE

stranger: stake this fve-rouble note, go

With Joyful promptitude the recipient
of his bounty entered the church, whence
she presently emerged with three silver
roubles, which she handed over to her
benefactor, expressing her heartfelt graft
tude for his timely succor, and her sur
prise at his apparently dlsinterested
kindness.
