Wanted to Get In.

A Il II o'clock the other night a Detroit
n policeman came upon man pound
ing vigorously on the door of a dwelling
house, and he asked what he wanted
there. The FOUNDER was pretty well set
up. He descended the steps, went close
up to the officer and softly whispered in
his ear
"It's my-my own abode, and /
w-want to get in.'
"But why don't you call out 7" asked
the blue coat.
"B-because don't want to ggive
myself away. / want to get into the
house b-before the jawing commences.
1 want my wife to think it's s-somebody
else."
"Well, go ahead, but don't arouse the
neighbors."
The officer sauntered on, but in about
ten minutes he encountered the tipsy
citizen on the other side of the block.
The man was thoroughly drenched with
cold water, and had lost his hat.
Hello! didn't you get in 7"
"N-not quite"
"Couldn t awaken your wife, eh 2"
"The ttrouble was" whispered the
man, as big shiver galloped over him,
"the t-trouble was that she was awake
a-all the ttime."
"And she deluged you from second
story window 7"
"I-Im not 'zactly clear as to whether
it was thunder-shower or only pitch
er of w-water, and thought I'd h-hunt
you up an-and ask you if th-thunder-
showers ever come in the night, and If
lightning ev-ever knocks a per-perfect
gentleman o-off his own doorstepsY"

The Wise Fools Of Gotham.

There Is In Nottlnghamshire, En-
gland, about a mile south of the village
Of Gotham AN eminence whereon stands
bush known as the Cuckoo Bush"
and with It the following strange legend
is connected. The bush, however, does
not claim to be original one, but was
planted on It's site as O memorial. The
English monarch King JOHN, as the
story goes was marching towards Not
tlngham, and intended to pass through
Gotham meadow. The villagers be-
lieved that the ground over which q
king passed became forever afterwards
public road, and not being minded to
part with their meadow so cheaply, by
some means or other they prevented the
king from passing that way. Incensed
at their proceedings, he sent soon after
to inquire the reason of their rudeness
and inclvility, doubtless intending to
punish them by fine or otherwise.
When they heard of the approach of the
messengers they were as anxious to es-
cape the consequences Of the monarch's
displeasure as they had been to save
their meadow. What time they had for
deliberation, or what counsels they took
we are not told, but when the kings
servants arrived, they found some of the
inhabitants endeavoripg to drown an eel
in the pond, some dragging their carts
and wagons to the top Of a barn to shade
woods from the suns rays, some tum-
bling cheeses down hill in the expecta-
ton that they would find their way to
Nottingham market, and some employ
ed in hedging in cuckoo that had
perched upon bush. In short, they
were all employed in such manner as
to convince the kings officers that they
were a village of fools, and consequent
ly unworthy of his Majesty's notice.
They of course, having outwitted the
king, imagined that they were wise.-
Hence arose the saying, "The wise fools
of Gotham"

A Two Dollar and a-haIf Christian.

THERE are great many people, in
L their religion, that remind me Of
"Uncle Phil, . pious old darky of the
old times in Texas.
Well, Phil was a fervent Christian,
with great gift of prayer. He attended
all the Saturday night prayer. meetings
on the neighboring plantations and
could pray louder and longer than any
of the brethren. But Phil had one
weakness, he dearly loved money, and,
different from negroes generally, loved
to hoard it.
Near by us lived a man who, not
troubled by any scruples, would pay
Phil a. dollar to work in his fields on
Sunday One Sunday night Phil came
home after dark. accosted him with
"Where have you been, PhilY"
"Oh, jest knocking about, massa."
You have been working for Mil
ler."
Well, you see, massa, the old fellow
is in weeds and he jest showed me a
silver dollar and I jest couldn't stand
it.r
"Ain't you afraid the devil will get
you for breaking the Sabbath ?"
Phil scratched his head minute and
said:
g guess the Lord'll scuse me, mas
sa.'
"No. He says remember the Sabbath
day and keep it holy"
Phil went off looking pretty sober,
and it was not long before I heard his
voice in fervent prayer back of the barn,
so thought I would slip down near
enough to hear.
oh, Lordl' / heard him say, 81
have this day ripped and feared, cussed
and sweared at them confounded oxen
of Miller's and jest broke the Sabbath
day. Oh, Lord, please forgive me I;
please forgive me, for you knows Use
nothing but a miserable hesthen any
how. II you'll jest forgive me this

A Desperate Leap.

A fellow named McNulty was needed
in Jersey City, and learning that he was in
Norwich, CT, the chief Of police sent Of
ficer Doyle after him. A few miles out of
Norwich, MNulty asked to be permitted
to get drink Of water. The train was
then travelling at the rate Of thirty miles
an hour. Instead of stopping to drink at
the water tank, M'Nulty threw open the
door aud made desperate dash for lib
erty. Doyle rushed after him, and
brakeman who had witnessed the move
ment attempted to seze the prisoner. Be-
fore either could reach him, M'Nulty
leaped from the train, turning two hand
somersaults with the agility of an accom-
plished athlete, aud alighting on his feet
on the ground. The conductor refused to
bring the train to stop and Doyle had to
travel to the first station, 12 miles away.
There the officer hired coach and started
In pursuit of the fugitive. He expected to
find him near the place Of the leap with
his neck broken. But when he got there
he discovered no trace of him. Inquiries
at farm houses for many miles failed to
bring any information concerning him, till
at last, six miles away, the detective met
rag picker who had seen hatless and
coatless man riding in the bottom of
farm wagon. When Doyle reached the
house of the farmer the wagon had been
put away. Doyle suspected that the bur
glar had been concealed by the farmer in
his dwelling house, and watched there till
he saw the farmer carrying some bread
and milk outside. The farmer, oberved
that he was watched, turned back to the
house, and Doyle demanded the surrender
of the man. The farmer denied that he
was concealng any one, but afterwards
led the officer to charcoal pit, where
M'Nulty had hidden himself. The officer
handcuffed him drove back to the railroad
station, at midnight on Saturday ar
rived with his prisoner in Jersey City.
M'Nulty's leap cost him only slight
scratch on his arm.

SUNDAY READING.
THE QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

Hanovalana, Queen of Madagascar, is
lady of color, Of whom not enough Is
known, Notwithstanding the exalted
position she occupies. She has sat on
throne for the past eleven years. Her
Majesty 10 Christian and encourages
Christianity; there are consecrated
Bishops In her Kingdom slavery is pro-
hibited there, and treaty with Great
Britain has been signed. The truth is.
the Queen is good woman, and this
silence is really tribute TO her worth.
She has preferred quietly to /" do her
duty In that state Of life unto which II
has pleased God to call her." Nor IL
she to be pitied. This, after all, Is the
fortune of the most happy and honora-
BILE. But her last act merits publicity In
Europe. She has issued O proclamation
TO the people of Ibonia and Imerina,
congratulating them on the spread Of
the gospel, and assuring them that rich
fruits must come from the knowledge Of
God. At the same time, she urges them
to aid i'm extending education by send
ing their children in large numbers to
the schools she has provided. " The In
struction they get there,' she says,
will be of use even to their parents
they can keep tally of the cattle, cast up
accounts, and take care of property.
Educate yourselves" she continues,
and you will be sure to advance in life.''
The education she means is a practical
education suited to their position; the
method she uses to recommend 1t is per-
suaslon.

Tempted BY Degrees.

John Newton says Satan seldom
comes to christians wills great tempta-
tion, or with q temptation to commit
great sin.--You bring green log and a
candle together and they are very safe
neighbors; but bring a few shavings
and set them alight, and then bring a
few small sticks and let them take fire,
and the log be in the midst of them,
and you will soon get rid of your log.
And so it is with little sins. You will
be startled with the idea of committing
great sin, and so the devil brings you
little temptation, and leaves you to in
dulge yourself. ''There is no harm in
this;" " mo great peril in that - and so
by these little chips we are first easily
lighted up, and at last the green log is
burned. Watch and pray that ye enter
not into temptation.
