The Boys Who MEtiiate the Artistic
Pictures On the Fences.

Probably the most delightful moment
of a boys existence is when he is abb.
to cut Il letter out of a theatrical poster,
and thus make it read some other way
than Was the original intention of the
printer. No sooner are the theatrical
posters put on the walls than the boys
take them i'm hand to make such alter,-
t n, in the scenery and groupings as
rowing imaginatiYns suggest. Some OF
these irrepressible Toys manage to eX-
tract considerable fun from their prankS,
but fener they simply effect senss.-
less mutlation OF the pictures, and no.
unfrequently indulge in downright
obscen'ty. 1t is not pleasant for ladies
passing along the street to be confronted
by the work of these vulgar little boys,
and as there, is ii law against vandalism,
the police should see that the parties
are arrested.

Didn't See It,

An Iowa lawyer made bold stroke
to reform q great public evil, but, sad
10 relate, he scored most lamentable
failure. For several years he had noted
the increase in exaggeration on the face
of circus posters. and the decrease OF
meritorious features in the ring, until
his heart became heavy, and he grieved
sorely over the deceit of his fellow-man.
He loved truth, despite his much-abused
calling, and this love induced him to
attempt reform in circus manage
ment. When the last circus visited
the town m which he resides, he had,
from its advanced pc ,ters. made acare-
full list of every beast, bird and arenic
feature advertised, and when he attend
ed the exhibition he checked off what
was actually exhibited. To his surprise
and indignation. lie found that not one
half the attractions were checked from
his list, and he at once fastened into
the courts and sued the manager CT the
show for not showing all he promised.
But he recovered nothing. Tho court
decided that no circus ever did give all
it advertised, and If a nian was so fresh
as to expect it, he deserved to lose his
money.

AnoM or nothing which equals in pathos and
sssnoerness the following beautiful poem, and
Us value is enhanced when it is known that
Daniel Gray
III shall ever win the home I'm heaven.
Tn For tbe whose s.os sweet rest humbly pray.
shall be sure TO find old Daniel Gray.
Old Daniel Gray was not man who lifted
On ready words his weight of gratitude,
AND was not called among the gifted,
- In the prayepmeeting of his neighborhood.
He had q few old-fashioned words and phrases
Linked IN with sacred texts and Sunday
And suppose that in his prayers and graees
I've heard them at least q thousand times.
HIS homespun habit and his silver hair,
And hear the language of his trite devotfons,
hising Denind the STRAIGHTFORWARD kitchen
- n eip us o Lord, TO pray and not TO faintr'
And how the 'conquering and 10 conquer
The loftier aspirations of the saint.
He had some notions that did not improve him.
n He never kissed his children-so they say.
And finest scenes and fairest flowers would
Less than horseshoe picked up on the way.
He had a hearty hatred of oppression,
And righteous word for sin of any kind;
Alas, that the Tansgressor and transgression
He could see naught but vanity in beauty
And naught but weakness in q fond caress,
And pitied men whose views of Christian duty
Allowed indulgence in such foolishness.
Yet there were love and tenderness within
And am told that when his Charley died.
Nor natures need nor gentle words could win
From his fond vigils at the sleeper's side.
And when they came to bury little Charley,
They found fresh dew-drops sprinkled in his
hair;
And on his breast rosebud gathered early,
And guessed, but did not know, who put it
there
Honest and faithful, consistent In his calling,
Strictly attendant ON the means of grace,
Instant in prayer, and fearful most of failing,
Old Daniel Gray was always in his place.
A practical old man and yet dreamer,
He thought in some strange, unlooked-for
way,
His mighty Friend in Heaven, the great Re
deemer,
Would honor him with wealth some golden
day.
This dream he carried in q hopeful spirit,
Until in death his patient eve grew dim.
And his Redeemer called him toinherit
The heaven OF wealth long gathered up for
him.
So If ever win the home in heaven,
For whose sweet rest humbly hope and
pray,
In the great company of the forgiven,
shall be sure to find old Daniel Gray.

V;llape Life in Western India.

In his new work on the industrial
Arts of India" Mr.. G.. M. Birdwood
says of the typical village:
Outside the entrance of the single
village street, on an exposed rise of
ground, the hereditary potter sits by
his wheel, molding the swift revolving
clay by the natural curves of his hands.
At the back of the houses which form
the low, irregular street. there are two
or three looms ut work in blue and
scarlet and gold, the frames hanging
between the acacia trees, the yellow
flowers of which drop fast on the webs
as they are being woven. In the street
the brass and coppersmiths are ham
mering away at their pots and pans,
and further down. in the veranda of
the rich mans house, is the jeweler
working rupees and gold nohrs into
fair jewelry, gold and silver earrings.
and round tires like the moon, bracelets
and tablets and neserings, and tinkling
ornaments for the feet, taking his de-
signs from the fruits and flowers around
him, or from the Traditional forms rep
resented in the paintings and carvings
of the great temple, which rises over
the grove of mangoes and palms at
the end of the street, above the lotus
covered village tank. At falf-past 3 or
in the afternoon the whole street is
lighted up by the moving robes of the
women going down to draw water
from the tank, each with two or three
water jars on her head; and SO, while
they are going and returning in single
file, the scene glows like Titian's cam
vas. and moves like the stately process
sion of the Panathenaic frieze. Later,
the men drive in the mild gray kline
from the moaning plain, the looms are
folded up, the coppersmith is silent, the
elders gather in the gate, the lights be-
gin to glimmer in the Installing dark
ness, the feasting and the music are
heard on every side, and late into the
night the songs are sung from the Ra-
mayana or Mahabarata. The next
morning with sunrise, after the simple
additions and alterations. performed in
the open air before Tho houses, the same
day begins again. This is the daily
life going on all over Western India, in
the village communities of the Dakhan,
among people happy in their simple
manners and frugal way of life, and in
the culture derived from the grand
epics of q religion in which they live
and move and have their daily being,
and in which the highest expression of
their literature, art and civilization has
been stereotyped for 1900 years

An Amesbury Surgeons Mysterious
Patient

A stranger drove into Amesbury one
evening recently 10 find a surgeon for
man who, he said, had been hurt few
miles away. A young doctor jumped
into his wagon. and when they had
driven a mile or SO the stranger told
the doctor the affair must be kept secret.
and lie must blindfold him. The doctor
assented, and thick handkerchief was
bound about his eyes. After riding
several miles further they came to .
hut in the woods. and the doctor was
taken in and the bandage removed.
He saw on cot a middle-aged man
with broken leg. There was silk
mask over his face. No word was
spoken, and the man, who was hand
somely dressed, scarcely groaned while
his leg was set. A well-filled purse was
given to the doctor and he was driven
back blindfolded to the villege by the
mysterious stranger, who sail the in
jured man was travelling incognito. The
doctor does not know in Which direc-
ton he was taken, and is reticent about
the affair.-Sprsngfeld Republican.
