I'm glad that I'm boy" said Hal;
A hoy can holler boot and shout,
And hunt and fish and run about
I'd hate to be a gal"
Now, give his moustaehe twirl-
For Hal, you know, is now man grown

He rather likes u girl;
Although he turns it Off in fun,
And says he'll compromise, and be
As near unto a girl as be
Can be and not be one.

"Hit doan' seem so ter me-" replied
Jake.

"No, sah."
"How do you know, then, that he

Walked Off A Moving Train.

R.D. O. Moore, Esq, the clerk OF
Warrick county, who arrived in the
city yesterday en- route home from a
visit to Iowa, related rather an extra
ordinary thing that happened to boy
on the train the night before as they
were coming over from st. Louis. The
boy, who was about Is years old, was
travelling with his mother, and while
the train was running at the usual
speed, and he apparently asleep, got up
from his seat and went out OF the car.
The brakeman, who sat near the door,
thought the boys conduct was rather
strange, and listened for him to enter
the other car, and not hearing the door
open or close, the brakeman followed
on out, but the boy had disappeared.
It occurred to the brakeman that the
boy had walked off or fallen off the
train in his sleep, and he at once COM
municated with the conductor who Or
dered the train stopped.
By this time the train had run mile
or two. AS soon as the train had stop
ped, two men were sent back with Ian

The seekers did not doubt, as they
trudged along, that they would find the
boy dead and probably terribly man
gled. Their surprise, therefore, was
great when they suddenly came upon
him about the distance expected, sitting
on the end of cross-tie, holding Sc
verely strained wrist, but otherwise I'M
hurt. he was hardly himself as yet,
though awake. When questioned he
could not explain how he had come
there. He could only remember re-
ceiving a severe jolt, and then picking
himself up off the ground. This then
verified the brakeman's suspicion that
the boy was asleep when he walked out
Of the car.
The boy vas able TO walk back with
his rescueTs to the train, and was hand
ed in to his seat by his mother, who be-
ing asleep all the time, was not aware
that he had left it, Evansville Qnd

Fishing i'm a Corn Field.

In Colorado is ten-acre field, which
is no more nor less than subterranean
lake covered with soil about eighteen
inches deep. On the soil is cultivated
a field of corn, which produces thirty
bushels to the acre. If any one will
take the trouble to dig a hole to the
depth of spade handle, he will find ii
to fill with water, and by using a hook
and line, fish, four or five inches long
may be caught. The fish have neither
scales nor eyes, and are perch like in
shape. The ground is black mari in
nature, and in all probability was at
one time an open body of water, on
which accumulated vegetable matter,
which has been increased from time to
time until now it has a crust sufficiently
strong and rich TO produce fine corn,
although it has to be cultivated by
hand, as it is not strong enough TO
bear the weight OF a horse. While
harvesting, the hands catch great strings
of fish by making hole through the
earth. A person rising on his heel and
coming Down Suddenly can see the
growing corn shake all around him.
Any one having sufficient strength to
drive a rail through the crust will find
upon releasing il that il will disappear

likely that the investment is one merely

Indeed, it is not improbable that that
portion of it between Memphis

the cotton States in northeast and

the best possible direction for such
line, uniting New Orleans, the great
cotton mart, with Cincinnati, and by
the designed branch from Harrodsburg

True Penny Wisdom.

The southern people used to be toe
proud to handle the penny, but now
that they are all born free and equal,
and have no special privilege on &C.
count of race, color or previous condi.
ton, it were wise for them to adopt the
economical methods that common sense
and exact honesty seem to suggest. The
penny would not only be a great con-
venience, but saving in living ex-
penses.
Discussing the penny question, the
London Standard remarks that "few
people are aware of the variety and ex-
cellence of the productions that can be
sold for penny" The value of that
despised coin is illustrated by the les
ses of the Alexandra Palace, who ex-
hibit multitudinous articles at that
price. That which excites perhaps
least attention is a penny newspaper.
One of the stands has a varied assort-
ment of penny periodical literature of
the age, daily, weekly and monthly.
The Revised New Testament at one
penny is remarkable. The fine arts are
represented by penny paints, colored
and plain, some mounted in nodded
carbon, making tasteful frames. There
are penny packages of things useful,
such as soaps, pins, seeds, starch, cos
metics, dyes in powder, or liquids and
toys in endless profusion. Fancy sta
tionery, and specialties for the season,
Easter and other cards, knives and
scissors and other tools are penny
apiece. At a beautiful floral stand
penny button-hole boquets and boquet
holders are dispensed. For penny
apiece walking. sticks, kites, jewelry,
jugs, microscopes, sweets, sauces, pho
tographs, and long list of other things
crowd the stands. Here in Galveston
the despised penny is not given even
in change. A sum less than five cents
is not regarded, and the odd cents al
ways 60 to the seller, never by any
chance to the buyer. The establish
ment of a one cent or two cent store
would be an experiment worth trying,
and would bring patronage to the mer-
chant, many comforts to the poor, and
a lesson of frugality to all.-Ga1uestom

The Farmer.

Is it not living fact that the farmer
now feels something of the old inner.
tied, dependent and servile spirit which
was so universal among the laboring
classes in the centuries past and gone
If he did not feel and show this spirit
why should his rights be so often ig'
nored, his feelings hurt, and himself
treated as though he belonged to an
inferior glass? The man who boldly
asserts his rights and feels his equality
with others may be hated, but he will
never be looked down upon. 1t is the
manifest duty of farmer if he is con-
scious of feeling one partacle of servil'
ity or inferiority to other classes to
rise above it just as quick as he can
He must educate himself and better
his circumstances, and elevate his con-
dition till he can feel the assurance that
he stands on the full level with the
most prosperous and best educated
elias SEES. He must think and study and
learn and work till he is fully emanci-
pated from the thralGom of poverty
ignorance and mental inactivity which
has heretofore characterized his condi-
ton. He must work out his own saliva
ton by patience and industry, by OBJ
servation, by experiment, and by the
exercise of his indomitable will. He
must feel his nobility any respect him
self as the son of the Most High, capa-
bic of doing great things and of achiev-
ing a noble and high destiny. He must
build himself up in the stature of per
feet man. Just to the extent that he
builds himself up in dignity, self-re-
spect, strength of character, knowledge
and power of will, to that extent will
he gain a conquest over nature, make
the earth yield her increase, and attain
the ends of his earthly existence. There
is beyond peradventure bright future
outlook for the farmer, if he will shake
himself from sloth and, be up and do
ing with cheerful heart and deter
mined will to do the work of the day

High in mid-air a whirring. crashing
sound was heard; then there was a sud.
den wayering of the great light at the
top of the mast near by, aud the sound
OF falling glass was heard. Some men
who were passing by and happened 10
be gazing at the cluster of light when
the noise occurred, stated that the dis.
turbance had been occasioned by the
encounter OF passing flock of wild
ducks with the top of the mast, and
hurried to the foot of the tall pole 10
hunt for trophies. Three ducks, still
warm with the life which had scarcely
become extinct, were found on the
ground near by, and doubtless other
wounded birds passed on over the i'm
mediate locality TO die elsewhere. or
live as cripples. Those who were for
tunate enough to capture the killed
birds, complacently carried their prizes
home, congratulating themselves upon
the novel and inexpensive method by
which they had secured their game.
The unexpected extinguishing of the
lights demonstrated several interesting
facts. Five of the lamps were perman-
emily blotted out, the thick glass globes
being more or less shattered. The
other three jets quickly reappeared and
shone with greatly increased inten-
sity. Those who were on the street
when the accident took place averred
that the illumination was fully as bril-
liant as before the five lamps were ex-
tinguished. Cleveland co., Herald.
