Jack and the Beams TalK.

Jack was Il bad boy, who loved to
blow peas and pebbles and things at peo-
pie through long tin tube and fetch
'em back of the ear or in the eye, or
anywhere so that it would hurt.
One day, as he was about to put a
bean in his pipe, preparatory to firing
it in the face of beggar not far off. the
bean said:
"Jack, if you shoot at the beggar you
will only waste me, for he is already
blind. Take me home and plant me in
your mothers garden, and this talk I'm
giving you now is nothing to the stalk
you'll get when I grow up"
Jack needed this advice, and, after
hitting the blind beggar in the small of
the back with bowider, he fastened
home and planted the bean.
Soon a green shoot appeared, which
Ill very short time grew to wonderful
proportions, being as thick as tele-
graph pole and reaching far above the
clouds. Then Jack stole pair of pole
climbers from a telegraph man, and
pumpernickel, bologna sausage and
mustard sufficient for three days Jour
ney from saloon keeper, and after set
UAuS LII . ~ LAD kUOUuCx . uO11S0 u0 SUI tea
for heaven, where he calculated to steal
few pairs Of golden slippers and bring
them TO earth, where they would do the
most good.
Jack was much pleased with his trip,
his only regret being that he didn't have
a wagon load of paving stones to send
crashing through few houses, but he
contented himself by eating all of his
provisions, and at nightfall he crept into
rift in the stalk and fell asleep as
soundly as if he had been in church.
This was fatal to him, for in the process
of the stalks rapid growth the opening
that Jack crawled through became
closed.
If this story teaches anything, it is
that although, as Daniel Webster said,
there is always room at the top" it is
not always policy to attempt to get there,
and further, that if the attempt be made,
care should be taken not to fall asleep
on the road.
Had Jack been content to remain upon
earth he might have been train robber
or bank cashier, and amassed a fort
une in a speedy and noteworthy manner.

One of this company was now called
Col. Lasses. Coz. Lasses was frem the
South, and chewed tobacco. Perhaps
nothing pleased the Colonel better than
firing tobacco-juice at the thousand little
lizards that darted up and down the
shining white powders that strewed the
bar. I forgot to say that Col. Lasses
was not his name. Lazarus, in burst

Colonel "Molasses Jug"-not because
he was sweet, but because ne looked it.
But they had found it little too long
and finally pushed it down to Classes. u
There now remained only few feet
between the energetic miners and the
abrupt bedrock wall before them. Yet
no man for a moment entertained q
shadow of doubt that his fortune lay
there In virgin gold. Or if any man fo1
an instant had q doubt, he kept it to
himself. True, only few feet remained.
But even few inches would be enough
to hide vein of incalculable wealth.
Who should dare to doubt, after all
they had endured and dared? No, there
was no possible show for fortune to
escape them. The gold must be there.

Black Birch for Furniture.

Black birch is rapidly coming into
favor. Black birch is a close-graineG,
handsome wood, and can be easily
stained to resemble walnut exactly. 1t
is just as easy to work, and is suitable
for nearly, if not all, the purposes to
which walnut is at present applied.
Birch is much the same color as cherry,
but the latter wood is now scarce, and
consequently dear. 1t is with difficulty
that cherry wood can be obtained at
fifty dollars thousand feet, while birch
wood can be purchased at any saw-mill
for one dollar per thousand feet. When
properly stained it is almost impossible
to distinguish the difference between it
