Stopping His Paper.

There are few men in the world
I no imagine that whenever o news
paper differs with them on anything il
ought to be stopped, and they under
take to kill it by stopping ..thier sub
scription and borrowing from their
,neighbors.. For the benefit of such,
we publish the following anecdote Of
Horace Greeley: 4 III
Passing down Newspaper Row, in
New York City, one morning, he met
one of his readers, who very excitedly
exclaimed:
"Mr. Greeley, after the article you
published this morning intend to
stop your paper"
"Oh. no, said Mr.. Greeley; "don't
do that"
ayes, sir, my mind is made up; I
shall stop the paper"
"Well, now, do hate that nightly /;
let me persuade you out of it."
But the angry subscriber was not to
be appeased, and they separated. La
ter in the afternoon the two met again,
when Greeley remarked:
"Mr. Thompson, I am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, you said you were going to
stop my paper"
"And so I did; I went to the Office
and had the paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken I have
just come from there, and the press
was running and business was boom
ing"
"Sir," said Thomson very pompously.
II meant intended to stop my sub
scription to your paper.
"Oh, thunder!" rejoined Greeley, Il
thought you were going to stop the
running of my paper and knock me
out of living. My friend let me tell
you something: One man is just one
drop of water in the ocean. You didn't
set the m machinery of this world in mo-
ton and you can't stop it, and when
you are underneath the ground things
upon the surface will wag the same
as ever"

The Senator's Visiting Card.

Washington Correspondence, Boston journal.
The mystic letters written on visiting
cards are source of bewilderment to
the Congressman from rural districts,
who can not deciphsr their meaning.
Once that stalwart Kentuckian, Senator
McCreery, met foppish constituent,
who had just returned from Paris, and
said to him: II received your card the
other day. I recognized your fathers
name, which is the same as yours, and
supposed that it was his son; but what
did the letters e. p, written in the
corner, mean?" "Why, Mr.. Senator"
replied the travelled man, 1T is custom
airy in Paris to write the initials of
certain words on leaving cards. For
instance, had been going away, 1
should have written p. P. c., the ini-
tials of Pour prendre conge'-to take
leave As it was, 1 called myself, write
E. p, the initials of En- personne'-in
person." "Oh!" said McCreery, Il I'M
derstand."
A week or so afterward the two met
again, and the young man said: "Sen-
ator, / received your card, but I could
not comprehend what the letters S. d.
A. n. in one corner meant. Pray inter-
pref them?" with pleasure, said Nc
Creery, his eyes twinkling with humor.

to laugh, but really couldn't see tn
point of the inscription. Others did.

AN affair has just eliminated at Egg
Harbor that shows the influence Of
mind over matter. James Hickey loved
Ella Carmody with u love that was rock
rooted, mountain-buttressed and as firm
as the granite hills, and old man Car.
mody hated Hickey with hate that was
pretty strong. He fairly detested Hick-
ey, despised him, did not, in fact, re-
gard him as friend, and fired at him
with double-barreled shotgun on one
OCCASION when he found him lingering
by Elias side. He swore that Hickey
should do no lingering around there,
unless it was to drag out lingering
death. Hickey suspected from all this
that the old man did not like him. So
he told Ella to meet him in the lane
when the clock struck nine, and Ella
met him, by chance. She had watched
her chance to escape from the house,
and together the lovers fled to Sturgeon
Bay and were married by the county
judge. Having got that off their minds
they prepared to encounter Elias sar-
donic sire. They returned to the pa
rental roof, lifted the latch with trem-
bling thumb, and in a moment stood
before the stern old man and confessed
what they had done. For moment
the old party seemed overcome with
at the audacity of the
thing, then he fell on his knees and
implored their forgiveness. "Bless me,
my children" said he, but they told
him not to mention it. Hickey said it
was all right, and that no thanks were
necessary as he had only done his duty.
Thus treasured the old gentleman arose,
sent TO townsand ordered wagon load
Of refreshments, and all the friends and /
for miles around gathered |
and had grand iollifcation the same
evening. 1t is thus that the most for
obstacles we encounter on our
journey through life melt into thin air
1pon approaching them with a stout
leart and a determined mind.-PecIis

ing her identity. The show went soutl
from this point, taking the twain will
il. The father and mother Of the boy
and girl were frantic with grief, no,
knowing what had become Of theil
children. They remained in town sew
eral days searching for them every
where. but being unable 10 find them
returning to their mountain home, ut
terly bewildered by their loss, and the
mystery in which it was shrouded. To-
days train from Texas brought back
the children who ran away just n year
ago. In the twelve months which have
elapsed they have learned enough ex'
perience to last them during the re-
mainder Of their lives. They were
hired by the management Of the show
at two dollars per week, which to them
seemed a large sum, and took part in
the concert which followed the regular
performances. They travelled through
the greater part Of Texas, the glitter
and tinscl of the business fading away
at every step. Finally, when at Gal
weston, the manager grew weary OF
them and set them adrift. They were
thus left without friend and with only
five dollars in money. This was in
December last. The girl had kept the
secret Of her sex so well that no one
except her brother took her to be other
than q comedy youth. Alone and in a
strange city they were glad TO get sit
uation at once, and the only thing
which offered ep loyment was brig
plying between Galveston and New
Orleans, and on it they both shipped.
Their experience on board the brig was
anything but pleasant, the crew being
boisterous and their employer utterly
brutal. When they reached New Or
leans they again ran away, FORGETTING oil
their wages thereby, as they had con-
tracted for the round trip. Here the
boy was taken i'll, and their situation
was becoming critical when the girl en-
countered Sister of Charity, to whom
she told her story. Convinced that it
was true, the sister had the sick boy
removed to charitable institution,
where he was nursed back to health.
