next moment he bounded down into the
channel. and I caught him by the bri-
die. Time was becoming fearfully
precious. I was already down to my
and, pressing it under the saddle-girths,
secured it in firm knot. / then made
q loop and passed it around my body.
Heaven bless the noble horse ! The
tears well to my eyes when reflect upon
the grand creature to whom few years
ago I gave an honorable grave in the
broad prairie. All the time believe he
comprehended my sore strait, and un-
derstood perfectly what was required of
him. He knew, too, the treacherous
nature of the ground upon which he
stood, for while waiting he continued
lifting his feet and slightly changing his
position to prevent his sinking. Finally,
] had my arrangements completed, and
gave the word to the horse to move.
The intelligent animal stepped off very
slowly, pulling gradually, but with all
his tremendous strength. To my mex
pressible JOY, I felt my body raising,
and in less than minute was pulled
clean out of the sand, upon the hard,
clayey bank. Thank heayenl and my
true, tried, noble horse
threw my arms around his neck and
kissed him, and shouted for Joy. Aud
had not right to do so? And did I
do more than my duty when I refused
all offers to part with him. and kept him
with all the care and kindness that ]
would have nursed feeble parent?

A Scheme for coloniziDg Palestine.

The Rev. George Nugee gave lecture
recently at st. Georges Hall, London, on
a proposal for colonizing Palestine by
Jews, and referred incidentally to the ex-
isting establishment of the Jewish colony
of fifty-five inhabitants near Jaffa. After
some statistics relating to the modern
Jews, who, he said had shown themselves
SO alive to the advantages of education
that they numbered half the University
students, half the barristers, and more
than half the merchants of Vienna, the
lecturer proceeded to develope a plan
which, he said, had met with the ap-
proval of many Jews, and had been COM
municated by Mr.. Lawrence Oiphant to
the Sultan, who received it fayorably, for
establishing Jewish colony on the east
bank of the Jordan.
The plan was to purchase ], 800, 600
acres, to introduce European element
into its Government, and to settle colonies
there, either of Jewish peasant farmers
employing the labor of the Indigenous
fellahin. The incursions of the Arabs
were danger, but might be bought off
He had sent circular to Mr.. Goschen,
the new Special Envoy to Constantinople,
who had expressed deep interest in the
scheme. The lecturer described the
country which was to be settled as ex-
ceedingly fertile, and identified with the
land allotted to Reuben, Dan, and the
half tribe of Manasseh. -

Nobodr WIN Ever See Il.

A short time ago we called upon GER
tain party In business In Vallejo, and
asked him why he did not advertise IN
the Chronicle.
"Oh, because, he answered, sswhats
the use? Nobody will ever see it. %
You're mistaken" said we; ssevery
page of our paper is read.
9. .Nonsensel he replied; even If
they did read my ad., people would
never think of it again. I don't want TO
advertise"
"But-"
s.'No butts at all. don't want to ad-
verise, and don't bother me any more;
I'm busy"
And he walked back into his store and
strangled poor little fly that was help
ing itself from the barrel of sugar.
Time passed and we never again init
mated advertisement" to him, although
meeting him daily. Yesterday the gem
tleman called at our sanctum, looking a
ceived. We cherished no hard feelings,
and motioned him to chair.
"I suppose you heard of that little
affair of mine belowP"
"Oh, yes," said we, 'tthat little esca-
pade on Kearney street night before last?
Yes, we've got all the particulars-"
Hush! Not SO loud, please, " said he.
"Of course you are going to say nothing
in the paper about it??''
"And why not2 It's a matter of in
terest to your friends and the people
generally"
"Heavensl Why, it would ruin mer'
"Oh, no; guess not Nobody will ever
see it. ("
"Yes, they will And it will ruin me
as sure as I'm sitting here. I'll be the
laughing stock of the town. They viii
see it!''
We rose and touched him impressively
on the shoulder.
"Well, we viii admit that the people
will see it; but then you know they viii
never think of it againl"
His words came back to him like {
flash, and he. trembled so violently tina;
his eyeballs fairly iingled; and he wa
such an object of comniseration that We
promised to keep mum. This little mora
is drawn from the above, which is ap
| plicable the world over: Ask man t,

that nobody will ever see it." but ad

may comruit, and he Immediately grow
indignant over the certainty that tn

Country Social Life.

Country folks are in general so fully
occupied with affairs that they have no
time to discover how lonesome they
really are. So far as this is concerned
we think it is misfortune. We are too
busy. We work too hard We take few
or no holidays. We read and think too
little, and do not spend sufficient time
in social culture. There Is no reason
why those who plew the soil or whose
talk is of bullock" should not experience
the refnements which are the result of
formal social life. In business, at bar
gains, In pursuit of dollars, no man is
seen at his best.4He Is thorney, spiney,
with his back up as porcupine might
be at his business. Let one dof his
working clothes and enter room full of
neighbors women, young men
and maidens-and he is man of another
kind. He naturally falls into the ways of
an intuitive kindness. which is really
the Huest politeness; the doing to his
companion what he should do to him.
he let's himself out " to please, and,
after an evening spent In social con-
verse, he retires with many rough COR
ners and asperities toned down. For q
few DAYS the influence remains It
would be permanent If it could be re-
inforced now and then, and the good,re-
suits would be most agreeable and use
full. There Is no difficulty IN bringing
! these good influences to bear. Two OF
three persons with energy and some
magnetism about them can put them in
motion with ease. Now is the time to
begin the effort.-Rurdl Neao Yorker.

New York Custom House. Mr.. Hayes
wrote to this model officer IN january.

New York Oustom-House Mr.. Hayes
wrote to this model officer IN January.
1879: s
Of partisan political management
"With deep sense Of my obligations under
the Constitution, regard tas my plain duty to
suspend you, in order that the Office may be
honestly administered" -,
That is plain and frank enough. Hon
est management was impossible under
this ssmodeI officer" So said Mr.. Hayes,
and off went the tsmode1 officers head,
and the Chicago Convention, In its plati-
tudious platform, little thinking how
soon ii would stultify itself, approved the
deeapitationi of this official. And not
only Mr.. Hayes, but Mr.. SherInaA, bore
testimony as to the honesty and Ell
cheney of this s.model officer Said Mr..
Sherman, IN letter to Arthur dated
january 81. 1879: &c :s,sf .sfsie3a
aGross abuses Of administration have con-
tnued and increased during your incuInbency.
Persons have been regularly paid by you who
have rendered little or no sefriee; the expenses
Of your Office have increased, while its receipts
have diminished. Bribes, or gratuities IN the
shape of bribes, have been received by your
subordinates In several branches of the cistom
house, and you have in no case supported the
effort to correct these abuses"
There never was such an absurd and
hypocritical performance as that of the
Chicago Convention in nominating Ar
thur for the Vice Presidency after having
solemnly put into the platform formal
approval of his degradation by Messrs.
Hayes and Sherman.

The Moon Not q Dead Star.

DR.. 81. j. Klein, who two years ago
announced new crater In that world Of
extinct volcanoes, the moon, has brief
article In La Nature, In which he gives
reasons for believing thai the moon is
not dead He has recently examined
drawings of the neighborhood of the
new crater by Gruithuisen, which
strongly confirm the theory Of recent
changes on the lunar surface, and cites
also the drawings of Messrs. Nelson and
Green in further proof thereof. Prof.
Klein adds that he announced the new
depression near Hyginus as crater,
from analogy. It is crater funnel, and
even one of the largest. Toward the
south there is shallow spoon shaped
hollow, which terminates IN second
small crater. In full sunlight, when the
interior of the large hollow of the crater
is no longer In shadow, the spoon-shaped
hollow may be seen as gray spot. By
the use of high powers It is remarked
pear to be fissured IN bew1dered man
ner. Two fine burrows, like clefts In the
soil, which extend from N. toward the
Snail Mountain, are the finest objects on
the moon.
1t is impossible as yet to decide wheth-
er this formation is really volcanic
There is one curious fact, however,
which would seem to indicate that q
mountain of smoke has at one time been
seen on the moon. On July 2, 1877,
Schroter and ORDERS examined noun
tain situated in the Sea of Vapors. This
mountain, which was ascertained to be
8, ,45O feet in height, has been seen
neither before nor since, and was prob
ably merely mass of vapor. The for
nation measured by Schroter has dis.
appeared from the moon; and, nearly in
the same place, there is now crater.
There sometimes occur, too, on the sur.
face of the moon, nebulous strata o.
very long duration, which have no anal
ogues on the earth. He who examines
carefully the materials furnished by the
numerous observations made on 1unal
formations from the time of Gruithisel
up to our own day, says Prof. Klein, vii
arrive at the conclusion that things ar,
going on upon the surface of this neigh
boring world which we as yet can know
nothing about.

"singinr Joseph,

Il is a wen-knowp fact that stam-
merer can sing without difficulty. though
he can't speak six words without stutter
ing. The fact explains this incident:
When the supper was on the table,
suggested that we wait for his father and
mother to come before we shotAd eat
supper. The poor fellow Immediately
piped up IN plaintive strain
!" They'll not cme when the rain is falling,
Falling, falling, falling, falling;
They're at Deacon Potter's calling,
Calling, calling, calling, calling
While still singing he seated himself
at the table, and. motioned me to draw
up opposite him. After pouring the tea
as handily as woman, he turned to me
and sang in a still different tune:
VIII You please sir, ask blessing,
On the bread and meat and pudding,
On tie bread and meat snd pudding,
VIII you please, sir, ask biessingT"
Much surprised, and ashamed that 7
had not anticipated the request, said
grace, and, much reassured by the little
incident, made hearty supper.
After my strange companion had done
up the chores, and made every thing snug
for the night, he sat down In the corner
of the fireplace and looked at me steadily.
His fixed regard made me nervous again,
and said something impatiently.
Why are you SO obstinate as to ans
swer me in this saucy, sing song way
whenever / speak to you"
The tears rushed quickly to the youths
eyes; he essayed to speak, but, although
he made the most frantic effort, he could
not utter word
Soon he recovered himself, to my great
relief, for I thought he was going into a
fit, and to my astonishment, sang more
musically than ever:
" DON'T you sae sir how stutter7
I an neither talk nor stutter;
So God lets me sing my say
And thank Hir. every day."
Inever felt so chagrined In my life as
when I found out the truth In regard to
the poor fellow. It was good lesson to
me. I have neye. formed hasty judg-
ment since.
Singing Joseph, he was called, and
conversed with him until late hour.

his ideas, always without a moments
hesitation on his part, set themselves to
music, some of the strains the sweetest
and most pleasant I ever heard. d.-Er-

Paid Him His own Measure.

Righteous punishment comes sooner
or later to pesterers and practical iokers.
They should expect it at any time. Says
contemporary:
Years ago, in Penobscott, Me-, there
lived man by the name of H,
whose greatest pleasure was In torment
ing others. His own family were gener-
ally the butts of his sport. One cold
and clustering night, he retired to bed at
an early hour, his wife being absent at a
neighbor's. Some time after, she, on
returning, finding the door closed, de-
manded admittance.
"Who are your" cried Mr.. H.
'You know who I ami Let me in-its
very cold"
'tBegone, you strolling vagabondl I
want nothing of you here!"
"But must come inf
"What is your nameY

'Begoosl Mrs. H-is a very likely
woman. She never keeps such late hours
as thisl''
eff you don't let me in, replied Mrs
H, '1 will drown myself in the
wellr
'.Do, If you please" he replied.
She then took log and plunged 1t int
the well and returned to the side of tn
door. Mr.. H, hearing the noise
rushed from the house to save, as he sup
posed, his drowning wife. She, at tn
same time, slipped in and closed the doc
after her. Mr.. H, almost nude Il
turn demanded admittance.
who are you?" she demanded:
'fYou know who am; let me in or
shall freeze!'.
'Begone, you great rogue, I wan
nothing of you hear!"
'But must come inl'
"What is your name?"
''You know my name-it is Nj
H"
'Mr. H is very likely man. H
don't keep such late hours.
Suffice to say, she, after keeping hin
in the cold untilshe was satisfied, openet
the door and let him in.

A 0uack,s Success.

A medical writer tells this story of a
celebrated English quack: He was once
visited by an old acquaintance from the
country, who addressed him as "Zam. !"
"Pm glad to see Incest got on SO

is't. man? Thee know'st thee never
had no more brains nor pumpkin.
Taking him to window, the quack
bade him count the passers-by. "How

after few minutes.

Canon Farrar.

Canon Farrar, the distinguished authM
of "Life of Christ" and "Life of st.
Paul" is thus described:
He is under forty-iye years of age, o.
forid complexion and sanguine tempera-
ment. He is compactly built and under
the medium height. He has O good
voice, but reads like an unframed school
boy. As preacher, the Canon is some
what verbose, but full of fascinating i'm
agery. His delivery is earnest, rather
rapid, sometimes vehement, but he goes
through his forty minutes's discourse
without gesture of the hand, though
his head and body, nodding and swaying.

The State the State Was in.

A few years ago the States Attorney
in a northern county in Vermont, al
though man of great legal ability, was
very fond of the bottle. On one occa-
sion an important criminal case was
called on by the clerk. but the attorney,
with gravity, kept his chair, owl-ike.
"Mr. Attorney, is the State ready to
proceed?" said the Judge. "Yes-hic
