RELIGIOUS READING.
True Bravery.


The best way for man to get out Of
lowly position is to be conspicuously
effective in it. Man cannot dream
himself into noble character he must
achieve it by diligent effort. The
resolution Of moment with some men
has been the turning point of infinite
issues to the world. The grandest Of
heroic deeds are those which are
performed within four walls and in
domestic privacy. True bravery is
shown by performing without witness
what one might be capable of doing
before all the world. Do not covet that
which is not lawful for thee to have.
Do not have that which may hinder thee
and deprive thee Of inward liberty.
Every human being has work to carry
on within, dutiesto perform abroad and
influences to exert, which are peculiarly
his and which no conscience but his
own can teach.

A Judges Charge with Variations

The following comes from Geor-
gia, and its accuracy is vouched for
by the steDcgrapher who took it
down:
Judge - was noted for the
way he got mixed In his charges
to the jury. On one occasion a
case was tried before him, the
points Of which may be briefly
stated thus: Smith brought suit
against Jones upon q promissory
note given for horse. Jones' de-
fense was failure Of consideration,
he averring that at the time OF the
purchase the horse had the gland
ers, of which he died, and that
Smith knew it. Smith replied
that the horse did not have the
glanders, but had the distemper,
and that Jones knew it when he
bought. The Judge charged the
jury: "Gentlemen of the jury,
pay attention to the charge OF the
Court. You have already made one
mis.trial Of this case because you
did not pay attention to the charge
OF tno Court, anu UOn'C want you
TO do it again. Intend to make
it so clear to you this time that
you cannot possibly make any
mistake. This suit is upon q note
given for promissory horse. 1
hope you understand that.
Now, if you find that at
the time of the sale Smith had
the glanders, and Jones knew
1t, Jones cannot recover. This is
clear, gentlemen. will state it
again. If you find that at the time
of the sale Jones had the distem.
per, and Smith knew it, then Smith
cannot possibly recover. But, gen.
tlemeD, l will state it third time,
so that you cannot possibly make
mistake. If ut the time of the
sale Smith had the glsnders, and
Jones had the distemper, and the
horse knew it, then neither Smith,
Jones, nor the horse can recover.
Let the record be given to the
jury. n-Harper's

How Bufsloss, Bssrs and Spiders Destroy the
Telegraph.

A writer In Youth and Pleasure
says: II you will kick on pound on
Q telegraph pole, or place your ear
against one On a windy day, what
will the noise remind you Of: A
hive of bees? Precisely. So 1t
does the bears in Norway. Bears
are passionstely fond Of honey, ,and
when, in one of the wild districts,
bruin hears the humming OF the
wires, he follows the sound to the
post where It Is loudest and begins
to tear away the stones heaped
around the poles in rocky soil to
steady them, In order to get at the
hive which he imagines to be there.
In his disappointment and disgust
he usually leaves savage marks of
his claws in the wood. Nor is he the
only victim of the wires, In the
electric exhibition at Paris they
show the top of thick pine tele-
graph post through which wood.
pecker has drilled q hole several
inches In diameter The bird had
apparently perched on the pole and
taken the humming of the wires
for the buzEing Of . nest of insects
in the wood, and he set himself
manfully-or birdfully-tO dig
them out. Wolves will not stay ia
Norway where telegraph line has
been built. It was formerly the
custom to protect farms by plant
ing poles around them strung with
corks something like rabbitsnares,
and gradually the wolves came to
respect these precautions, so that O
line stretched across the neck of o
peninsula would protect the whole
district. The wolves take the tel
egraph for q new and improved
saare and promptly leave the
country when line is built.
On our own treeless plains
the buffalo halls the tel
egraph pole as an Ingenious con-
trivance for his own benefit. Like
all cattle, he delights in scratching
himself, and he goes through the
performance SO energetically that
he knocks down the post. An
early builder OF telegraph under
took to protect the posts by insert
ing brad-awls into the wood, but
the thick skinned buffalo found the
brad-awl an improvement, as af.
fording him new sensation and
scratched down more poles than
ever. In Sumatra the elephants
are systematically opposed to tel
egraph lines, and at least twenty
times q year make raids on them.
In May, 1870, the elephants tore
down the poles for distance OF
several furlongs, and hid the wires
In the cane jungle, and for three
nights In succession they repeated
the performance as regularly as the
repairers built the line during the
day. The monkeys and apes are
about as formidable enemies, az
they use the wires for swings and
trspezes, and carry off the glass In
sulators as valuable prizes; then,
when the repsirer goes to correct
the mischief, he may be pOunced
upon by q tiger or driven to the
post by mad buffalo. In Japar
the special enemies OF the tele'
graph are the spiders, which grow
to On immense size, and avail them
selves of the wires rs excellent
framsworks for their webs. 81
thick are the cords the japanese
spiders spin that often, especially
when they are covered with dew
they serve to connect the wires
with each other or the ground, and
