Faith and Pluck.

At q certain Sabbath-school, not long
since, the old clergyman of the parish, In
visiting the different classes, came to a
class of four and fve-year-olds before
whom the question of faith had just come
up, and he thought to illustrate the sub
ject to the little ones by telling to
them the story of the child who was
called to Jump into the fathers arms, in
the dark.
1.-The father was in dark cellar, while
his little daughter, only three years old,
stood upon the edge of an open scuttle,
or hatchway. in the floor. She could
hear her fathers voice very plainly, but
could not see him Come, my child,
the father called, Jump right down. l
viii catch you in my arms. BE not afraid
1t is your father who calls
Now, the little child could see nothing
below but utter darkness; nevertheless,
she trusted her dear fathers voice, and
jumped-jumped boldly down into the
darkness, and was safely caught into her
fathers arms
''Now, think of it, F." said the aged cler-
gyman. ''Was it not a beautiful illus
tration of faith?'
He saw one little, bright-faced boy
shake his head
eWen, Johnny, what do you thing of
it? Do you not think II required great
deal of faith on the part of that little
girl to make that leap in the darl1?"
"Well-I dono; but she must a had
lots o. pluck, dnyhow!"
Evidently the old pastor had gained O
new idea, and one which he could not
dispute. .-NetO York LedQer.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

ASTHMA CURE.-Belladonna leaves.
two ounces stramonium leaves, one
ounce powdered nitrate of potassium.
one and one-half drachms. Mix them
thoroughly. To be used by igniting
drachm in a suitable vessel and inhalin0
the fumes.
Sc1ATIcA.-Three drops of sulphuric
ether, mixed with few drops of water
and injected under the skin with hy-
podermic syringe, is said to permanent
ly cure this distressing complaint The
remedy should be used every twelve
hours till cure is effected.
TREATMENT OF DRHrHERIA.-Take
from two to five grains OF chlorate of
potash, put it far back on the tongue,
allow it to melt gradually, and repeat
every hour until a decided improvement
takes place, which is usually in few
hours. One of the best plans of treat
ment is the following: Gargle-Chlor-
ate of potassa, two drachms hot water,
six ounces alcohol, four drachms Gre
osote, eight drops muriatic acid, thirty
drops This is to be used as a gargle
every thirty minutes. Internally use
the following remedy-Chlorate of potas-
sa, three drachrns water, six ounces
sugar. one ounce; tlncture of muriate of
iron, two drachms. Dose-A teaspoon
full every four hours. 1t is claimed that
the above treatment will cure nineteen
cases out of twenty.
CRoUP-Is Inflammation of the wind

times impossible. Group is the result
of cold, though there is generally an

or sooner, it is regular Group. The child
is restless, breathes hard, wheezes, and
has a dry cough. If proper remedies
are applied the first or even the second
night, but few children will die of Group.
Give two teaspoonfuls of epson salts,
and put the child to bed then apply
mustard draughts, or mustard leaves,
to its feet. Wiring out a flannel cloth IN
hot water, and wrap 1t around the neck
as warm as it can be borne, protecting
the bed with dry cloths. If the breath

half a teaspoonlul each of powdered
alum and ipecac in half glass of tepid
water and give it. If it does EOt vomit
in ten minutes, repeat the dose with a
teacup of warm water every five minutes
until there is free vomiting. If the
bowels are constipated, use "Nelaton

hours, until there is a free passage. If
this treatment is applied early, it will
seldom fail If, however, the disease is
well established before treatment is COM

ment should fail to afford relief IN twelve
hours, then give ten grains of calomel,

AM Afrecting Sentence.

Judge X, of Arkansas, had brought
before him convicted felon to be SEN
fenced The opportunity to Improve"
the occasion was not to be lost; and SO,
after the usual demand for reason why
sentence should not be pronounced, his
Honor slowly, and with genuine feeling,
addressed the prisoner: "My poor fell
low, you are about to go to the Peniten-
tiary You are required to give up, for
a long time, everything which the great
world values-yonr family, and, instead,
to take for your associates only felons
like yourself; your home, and to take
instead what can never have the sem
blance of a home; your will, and so to
be subject to the order of men who have
no sympathy with you. Even your ordi-
nary clothing you exchange for'-here
his Honor, raising his left arm, pointed
to it with the index finger of his right
hand striped clothes, the stripes not
running lengthwise, ike those, but so
round and round, like coon's tail. "

At the Stamp-WindOw.

There were thirteen men and one wo-
man at the stamp-window of the post
Office. Most of the men had letters to
post for the eastern trains. The woman
had something tied up In a blue match
box She got there first, and she held
the position with her head in the window
and both elbows on the shelf
tIs there such a place in this country
as Cleveland ?" she began.
"Oh, yes"
''Do you send mail there? ?"
yes
well, a woman living next door asked
me to mail this box for her. 1 guess it's
directed all right She said it ought to
go for a cent.
''Takes two cents said the clerk,
after weighing it "If there's writing
inside it VIII be twelve cents.
'Mercy on me, but how you do
charger
Here the thirteen men began to push
up and hustle around and talk about one
old matchbox delaying two dozen busi-
ness letters, but the woman had lots of
time.
''Then it win be two cents, eh ?"
'f there is no writing inside.
"Well, there may be. l know she is
a great hand to write. Shes sending
some mower SEED 10 ner sister, ana pre-
sumo she has told her how to plant
EN-. "
1.-TWO threes = called one of the crowd,
as he tried to get to the window.
Hurry upr' called another.
There ought to be a separate window
here for women - growled third
"Then it will take twelve cents?" she
calmly queried, as she fumbled around
for her purse.
"Yes."
"Well, I'd better pay it, I guess"
From one pocket she took two cop
pers. From her reticule she took
three-cent piece. From her purse she
fshed out nickel and it was only after
a hunt of eighty seconds that she got
the twelve cents together She then
consumed four minutes in licking on the
stamps, asking where to post the box
and wondering if there really was any
writing inside, but woman proposes and
man disposes. Twenty thousand dollars
worth of business was being detained by
twelve-cent woman, and a tidal wave
suddenly took her away from the win
dow. In sixty seconds the thirteen men
had been waited on and gone their ways,
and the woman returned to the window,
handed IN the box, and said:
''Them stamps are licked on kind o
crooked, but it won't make any differ
ence, will it?"-Detroit Free Press.

Thought it Was n Mouse.

The Newburyport Mass Herald re-
lates the following incident: A short
time since an elderly lady of this city
startled the household with a piercing
shrick and the information that there was
a mouse in her pocket. Some one rushed
to her rescue, hastily assisted her to diyest
herself of her wrapper, firmly grasping
the mouth of the pocket to prevent the
escape of the dangerous animal. The
garment was then turned over to the man
of the house, and he, armed with club,
proceeded to the back yard to dispatch
the offender. The pocket was opened
gradually, but no mouse appeared. Final
", gaining courage, he ventured to in
vestigate, and found the cause of all the
excitement TO be pocket tape measure,
from which the spring had become de-
tached and had unwound with whirr.

THE FAME OF THE CITY.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

A great rich city Of power and PRIDE
with streets fun Of traders and ships on the tide;
With Iich men and workmen, and judges and
preachers
The shops fuTI of skill and the schools fulf Of
teachers.
The people were proud OF their opulent town;
The rich men spent millions to bring Il renown;
The strong men built and the tradesmen planned,
The shipmen sailed TO every land;
The lawyers argued the teachers taught,
And poor shy poet his verses brought :.
And cast them into the splendid store.
The tradesmen stared at his useless craft,
The rich men sneered and the strong men laughed
The preachers said IL worthless quite,
Tue schoOl-meu claimed IL theirs 10 write
But the songs spared, though they added
naught
To the profit and praise the people sought,
That was waited at last from distant climes
And the tOwnsnen said, To remotest times
We shall send our name and our greatness downs
The boast came true; but the famous town
Had a lesson TO learu ~ hen all toisis-.s
The nations that hOnored cared na;ght for its gold
Its skin they exceeded huudredfOld;
IL had only been one Ot a thousand more
Had the songs Of the poet been lost 10 its store
Then the rich men and tradesmen and schOol-men
said
They had never derided. hut praised instead
And they boast OF the poet the town has bred.

A Romantic Wedding.

Romantic weddings are frequent
enough nowadays but years ago they
might not have been so common. An
anecdote is told of Dean Swift, who, be-
ing overtaken by thunder-shower one
day, took shelter under tree, where he
found party of young girls waiting for
the rain to cease.
One young girl was weeping, and the
Dean learned that she was on her way
to church to be married to a young man
who was with her. Never mind I'll
marry you," said the Dean and took up
his prayer-book, and then and there
performed the ceremony and, to make
the thing complete, he tore q leaf from
his pocket-book, and with his pencil
wrote and signed certificate, which he
handed to the bride. 1t was as follows !:
Under a tree In stormy weather,
married this man and woman together;
Let none but Him who rules the thunder
Sever this man and woman asunder.

Twenty Dollars Reward.

A gentleman in Conyers, Ga, offers
the above sum as reward to any person
who viii, on sight, read the following
without mispronouncing a word
One morning L found myself in a
queer locale, amid vast area of burn
ing sands. To my relief L deserted an
oasis (; but, alas it turned out to be
mirage. / could see, as thought, cas-
cades, geysers and gewgaws indescriba-

of such deceptive land the untoward
fellow treated me with contumely. L
was only saved by the timely appear
anoe of chamois from the puissant blows
of the nuisance which leaped up from
the root of pyramidal cypress, at
which he fired his fuse. This perverse
creature was so maddened by my escape
that he committed .felo de sc. He was
the protege of the King, and had been
for some time his employee in decipher-
ing cruciform inscriptions, and may
have been a Chaldean. Though cleanly
dressed, he was not cleanly. Now
seeking recess by stream filed with
animalcules, wrote an exquisite essay,
drawing on my fertile brain, which l
read each alternate day for week, and
then wrapped it up and placed it in an
alcove for safe keeping"

Mexican Balls.

The Mexicans are notoriously fond of
dancing, and will neglect almost any
thing else to attend a bale or ball.
Many American dances have been intro
duced, but the amusement, instead of
being indulged in in a wild and unre-
strained manner, is conducted with
great decorum. The ladies all sit on one
side of the ballroom and the gentlemen
ON the other, and when the music be-
gins the young men walk out into the
middle of the floor and beckon with
their fingers to the young ladies whom
they desire for partners. At the close
of the dance the ladies return to their
side OF the room and the gentlemen to
their own. The waltz of modern society
and other fashionable dances in the
East would be considered immodest In
Santa Fe bafle, and would not be
tolerated.
