Natures Way,

Brother Gardner stated that he was
in receipt of the following queries,
propounded by the Concord School
Of Philosophy: "Why don't COW
SIT down to rest as dogs? Why does
a dog turn aronnd few times before
he lies down? Why does q COW get
up from the ground hind end first,
and horse fore end first? Why does
a squirrel come down tree head first,
and cat tail first? Why does a mule
kick with his hind foot, and sheep
with his fore foot?' ss
''Natur' has her own ways, an her
ways m'rect," replied the old man
as he laid the letter aside. "I once
lost weeks sleep tryin' to fin' out
why cats didn't set on q nest for
fo'teen Gays, same as hen, to bring
70 tn dar' young, an finally arrope
to de conclusion to tackle suthin'
easy. De boss an de ass an de dog
an de cat war all made fur sartin
reasons an to fill certain spheres in
life. Natnr' didn't intend the boss
to climb trees nor the Cat to pull
street kyars, an de less we kcer to
know why she didn't do so de better

The Old Mans Ghost.

Several days ago, celebrated
Spiritualist came to Little Rock, and
stated that before giving a public
entertainment he would give seance,
where any member of small invited
circle could call up the spirits of their
friends and converse with them. By
mistake a man from down the river
was admitted, a man whose reputa-
ton for deeds of violence would not
place his spirit above par in the soul
market. After listening awhile t.
tapping, horn-blowing and gauze vail
naturalization, the bad man arose
and said:
"Ssy, Cap'n, whar's the old mans
ghost?"
"What old man?'' asked the me-
dunn.
my old man; the governor. Call
him up?'
whats his name?''
tom Beaiick; call him up"
81 don't think We are in communi-
cation with him tonight
"What's the matter, wire down?'
"No, the old gentleman is off on a
visit"
! Now, here, just shut up your
wardrobe and turn out your light.
If you don't give the old mans ghost
a show, the thing shan't rum
"Wait I'll see if he'll come," said
the spiritualist. ''If be raps three
times he is willing; if only once he
has other engagements"
A sharp rap sounded.
''He is unwilling" continued the
spiritualist.
"Now, here" said the bad man,
"that want my ole mans knock.
Why, eff he'd hit that table he'd
splintered it. Call him up" and
drawing a revolver the affectionate
son cast severe look on the medium.
"To tell the truth, l can't call him
up" -
"Tell him that want to see him.
That II fetch him."
"No, he won't come, but / beg oi
you to be patient. Wait f; ah, he will
come presently. He Is here and de-
sires to talk with you. He says that
he is perfectly happy, and he longs
for the time when you will be with
him. He is one of the rulers in the
spirit land.' ..-
"Cap'n, you are the infernalist lial
IN Arkansas"
"Why so, sir?''
"Because the old man Is in tn,
city prison, drunk as a fool.'

At this speech there were cheers
and grumbling, but the cheers predom-
mated.
"Gentlemen, said the father, s'my
opponent has acted throughout this
like a Christian knight and a chival-
rous spirit, and l wish to say that, If
there is dissatisfaction with his con-
clusions, will waive any claim that
l may have upon the sum of money
at issue in this wager; and, further,
if he Is willing, we will turn and turn
about wrestle with any dissatisfied
person or persons, one at a time of
course, until there is no shadow OF
complaint Of unfairness. But I want
it understood that all that we both
earn goes into the hat."
''I'm willing" said INate, land
m agreeable to that last prop, but
my twenty goes into the hat all the

it."
There being no takers to the last
proposition, the wrestlers resumed
their ordinary garments. The egg
