One of the commission houses on Wood
bridge street has horse which was the ter
ror of every pedestrian who got within three
feet of his head. The animal has teeth like
shark, and up to few days ago he'd bite
anything within reach except pile of
grindstones. Whipping had no effect, and
he would get rid of muzzles as fast as they
were put on. The firm had paid out con-
siderable money to settle for his btes and
was wondering what they could sell it for,
when along came man who guaranteed a
cure for 50. He was told to go to work, and
his first move was to get an old suit Of
clothes and stuff it with straw. The horse
was driven down the street, and the suit
was tied to a hitching-post, back to the
street. A full pound of cayenne was then
rubbed into and sprinkled over the garments
and the straw stuffing, and the Joke was
ready. The horse came jogging back, and
the driver left him standing within six feet
of the man of straw. The old biter's eyes had
a twinkle as he saw fine chance to use his
teeth, and as soon as left alone he began
edging toward the post. When ready for
business he made sudden lunge and caught
the "man by the shoulder. The old horse
meant wickedness, but he had surprise in
store for him. As he lifted the figure off its
feet and gave it a shake it fell apart and his
mouth, nose and eyes were filled with the
smarting powder. Great tears rolled down
his long nose, he sneezed and snorted and
coughed, and he was just as chagrined at
the general laugh on him as a man would
have been. He backed away from the rem
nants, opened his mouth to cool it, and
hung his head in shame. He did not cease
weeping for day, but when he got so that
he could look the public square in the face
he was changed horse. Anybody can pull
his ears or rub his nose with impunity. In
fact, he courts caresses where he defied
them, and on the approach of a stranger
will shut his eyes and mouth as If fearful of
another dose.-Detroh Free Press.

A Scar OF Intemperance.

You know very well that a scar will not
wash out or grow out. Absolutely there is
no doubt about this. But how vast and
fathomlessly practical are the applications
of the simple truth that scars are inerasa-
BILE A two-edged sword this, and keener
than Damascus steel. The dull inebriate,
who scars his brain by the habit of intern.
perance, thinks that after his reformation
his nervous system will slowly recover all
the soundness it once had. But on your
finger scar will not grow out. Sears, how
ever the body may change, are absolutely
Interchangeable in the changing flesh. We
carry into our graves marks of our boyhood
sports and this is as true of the spots that
scar the brain as of those that cash the iu-
gers. That the most searching blessings are
good habits, the most penetrating curses
are bad habits, is found in the one fact
that the automatic nervous mechanism is
such that when habit--good or bad-is
SCARED in the brain, the soul pours forth the
results Of the habit almost spontaneously.
And Just 50, friends, your tendency or mine
to profane speech, to ribald Jest, to the inc
briate's thirst, or to the sensualist's lecher-
GUS thoughts scar the nervous system in its

auce) pass the place Of temptation, you are
seized, you know not by what power. You
feel that there is necessity upon you, and
the mystery is simply that scars are ineras-
able. You have SCARED your nervous sys-
TEN with an evil habit and now the terrific
power of the automatic mechanism stands
behind your will.-Joseph Cook.

Portrait OF Mrs. Hayes.

Mr.. Daniel Huntington of New York has
nearly completed the portrait of Mrs. Hayes
which is to be placed in the white house, be-
side the portraits of the presidents. The
picture is full length and of life size. Mrs.
Hayes stands in the open air on terrace,
with faint landscape in the background.
In the foreground is portion of drinking
fountain, on one side of which is panel in
bas relief representing a female figure lean
ing on water-vase lying on its side, and
from which flows a stream of the liquid,
sparkling and bright, symbolic Of this lady's
cold water regime at the table of the white
house. The dress is maroon velvet en- trdine
with full rich lace trimmings on the elbow
sleeves and square-cut neck. The only or
nament is slender necklace of gold, with
cameo medallion of President Hayes for
pendant. A small bunch of tea roses is in
one hand, and with the other she gracefully
holds back the folds of her dress. The por
trait in its execution exhibits this veteran
among portrait painters at his best, which
many believe is in female portraiture. 1t is
not only faithful likeness of the sitter, re-
producing her strong face and commanding
figure in very effective manner, but as
picture it will be a most striking ornament
in the executive mansion. The sunny ma
ture, bright intellect and genial character of
Mrs. Hayes may be detected in this mastery
work of the president of the National Acad.
eIny of Design. The frame for the picture
is made by the Cincinnati School of Design.
1t is to be deliberately carved in leaves of
laurel, the emblem of victory of oak the
emblem of power; of lilies, the emblem of
purity; and English hawthorn and water
lilies, the emblems of poetry and beauty.
Mrs. Hayes monogram, 81. w. H." will be
exquisitely designed in shield at the bot
tom of the frame. The picture with its
frame will cost $3.50, which is very large

engraved, and a copy will be sent to every
person who has contributed five dollars to

"Here 1 Am !"

A lawyer had cage hanging on the wall,
in which he had a startling. lie had taught
the little fellow to answer when he called it.
A boy named Charlie came in one morning.
The lawyer left the boy there while he went
out for few minutes When he returned
the bird was gone. He asked, Where is my
bird ?" Charly replied that he did not know
anything about it. "But," said the gentle
man, "Charlie, the bird was in the cage when
went out, Now tellm all about it +; where
is it 2" Charlie declared that he knew moth
ing about it; that the cage-door was open
and he guessed that the bird had flown out
The lawyer called out, "Starling, where are
you 2" The bird spoke right out of the
boys pocket, and said just as plain as it
could Here 1 ami" All, what fix that
boy was in He had stolen the bird, had
hid it, as he supposed, in safe place, and
had told two lies to conceal his guilt, and
now came voice from his own pocket which
told the story of his guilt 1t was testimony
that all the world would believe. The boy
had nothing to say. The bird was a living
witness that he was a thief and liar.-Se-

The Trail Of the Serpent"

AS Mrs. Norman saw her husband APP
preaching, she ran hastily down the steps TO
meet him, but Baby Phil " was before her,
and standing near the massive stone steps.
The careless driver threw down the lines to
assist his master. In descending from the
carriage, Mr.. Norman caught foot in the
lines. Throwing up his hands to his throb-
bling head, he fell heavily, pushing his son,
his darling boy, against the sharp corner OF
the stone steps. The mother saw the bright
crimson blood flow from the child's temple,
and with one shrek OF despair sank sense
less by her child. The aged father fastened
to summon the servants, and the mother was
borne to her room, in a swoon, from which
she never awoke in her right mind. The
boy, whose life-blood was fast ebbing away,
was tenderly cared for, but in few mo-
ments lay pale and cold in his last, long
sleep. Mr.. Bradley, arriving in the midst of
the confusion, assisted the father to a couch
in the long hall, where he sank into stupor
which lasted till the dawn Of the next morn
ing. When he awoke, he called for his boy.
His friend, his faithful watcher through the
darkness and gloom of that dreadful night,
tried to pursuade him to wait little But
no. 81 will see my boy" he cried, in accents
of despair. They led him into the elegant
drawing-room, aud as the heavy curtains
were drawn aside ray from the rising sun
shone on the marble features of his boy.
The truth flashed upon him. g killed him,
| killed him." he moaned. After looking
long upon his broken idol, he arose hurriedly
and went to his wife's room. Her shrieks
and cries for her boy pierced his heart.
Mrs. Norman's father led him into his own
dressing-room adjoining, and returned to his
daughters side. 1t seemed but a moment
till the report of a pistol startled the in
mates of the house. Mr. Bardley reached
the room before the others, and, clasping
the dying form in his arms, vowed hence
forth to devote his life to theswork of shield
ing others from the fearful serpent lurking
in the wine-cup. A sadder procession never
wendell its way to the home of the dead
than those who followed the father and
son to their last resting-place. Three days
after, all that was mortal Of the mother was
laid to rest by the side OF the husband and
the son. Months elapsed before Mr.. Bard
ley was seen to smile, and the temperance
cause counts him one of her staunchest sup
porters. To the bitter end " he fights in
temperance in all OF its forms, especially in
gilded saloon and marble hall. Among the
cultured and wealthy of his friends he ever
raises his voice in earnest pleading for total
abstinence, and rebuke for all thoughtless
encouragement to the young to partake of
that wherein a serpent lies concealed

A Crow Story.

From the fall Of the snow to the present,
one OF the thoughtful matrons of our town
has regularly scattered the crumbs from er
table in the yard that the hungry birds
might be fed. At first but few came to the
banquet, but now scores of different kinds
of winter birds enjoy her bounty. Among
the number is a crow. At first he approached
cautiously, as if aware that his feather was
under the ban. But after an unmolested ex-
perience of several weeks he grew so trust
full as to eat bread from the hands of little
children. But still more remarkable is this
A few days ago that crow brought with him
to the premises lame crow. The last conner
sat on the garden fence and cawed alarm.
His guide fitted beside him, and, after bow
ing to him and quieting his fears, induced
him to trust himself in the garden-walk.
There the guide strobe confidently toward
The repast, and the lame crow limped after
him. When the latter Jagged, the former
would turn and assure him OF hospitable
treatment. The pantomime was as eloquent
as speech, and quite as effective. Presently
both reached the spread and enjoyed "a
square meal" Since then the two crows
