= Hooping a Barrel.

Putting a hoop on the family -four
barrel is an operation that will hardly
bear an encore. The woman generally
attempts it before the man comes home
to dinner. She sets the hoop up on the
end of the slaves, takes deliberate aim
with the rolling-pin, and then. shutting
both eyes, brings the pin down with all
the force of one arm, while the other
one instinetively shields her face. Then
she makes a dive for the camphor and
unbleached muslin, and when the man
comes home she is sitting back of the
stove, thinking of st. Stephen and the
other martyrs, while burnt dinner and
the camphor are struggling for the mas
terry. He says that if she had but kept
her temper she wouldn't have got hurt.
And he visits the barrel himself and
puts the hoop on very carefully. and
then adjusts it so nicely to the top of ey-
cry stave that only few smart raps APP
parently are needed to bring it down all
right. And then he laughs to think
what fuss his wife kicked up for SIM
pie matter that only needed q little pa
tience to adjust itself, then he gets the
hammer and gives the hoop smart rap
on one side, and the other. flies up and
catches him on the nose, tilling his
soul with wrath and his eyes with tears,
and the. next minute the barrel is flying
across the room, accompanied by the
hammer, and another candidate for
eamphor and rag is enrolled in the
great army that is increasingly march
ing toward the grave. Neacs.

He Knew Bnncicanlt.

A party of gentlemen were supping at
the Nendome, when the conversation
turned on Boucicaalt. One'of them, pro-
Tossing to know the actor intimately,
gave q programme Of what he was about

was worth, and where his funds were
invested. A third, who also knew hin,
well, remarked that he had been guest
In the hotel lately, but. scared by the
presence of smallpox In the city, he had
secluded himself in Roxbury. Al fourth
assured the rest that there was no epi-
demie in the matter; he knew for a fact
that he had been carried off by Miss
one Of the loveliest girls in Boston. and
had secluded himself with her. An old
gentleman. rising from the next table,
joined the group. Gentlemen" he
said. II am the person you are speak

learn in this manner what / am doing,

this gentleman may be correct. As for

of whom YOU speak. 1t is ffattering TO
my so years to be accused of being car

object to the imputation, but the young
lady might see it in another light. !" The
elderly gentleman then turned his back

Owed Him One.


Quite an interesting wedding, says
The Little Rock Gdsette, was celebrated
at the Atlantic hotel last night. Some
time ago Thomas Luster, necessarily a
very bright young man, fell desperately
in love with Miss Margaret Rice. Miss
Rice was the divorced wife OF man
named Henry Robertson, but that made
no difference with the ardent lover. The
charms of the young woman had made
the hair stand sentimentally on the head
of Mr. Luster, the brilliant. AS Poe in
sisted. he s.loved with love that was
more than love.'' How such q love
can be bestowed is something that d
newspaper man hasn't time to inyesti
gate, but as he hasn't time to question
such emotional desperation, he must
simply allow Mr.. Poe, who is dead and
therefore can not defend himself, to re-
main master of the heart-moving sitaa-
tion. The ceremony was performed by
Justice Pears. The bridegroom was
nervous. Robertson, the former hus-.
band, had followed the couple. The
bridegroom had many reasons to believe
that Robertson. as the divorced husband
of the bride, meditated revenge. The
bridegroom tremb1ed. The bride shook.
A doctor who was present thought that
she had q chill. After the ceremony the
divorced husband approached the BRIDE
groom and said: 's'7-
81 have followed you because owe
you one.n 4a So .se s..
The bridegroom shook.
Yes, sir, l owe you one, and pro-
pose to pay it right here
The bridegroom shook violently. :
s.Yes, sir; always pay it. l. owe
you the drinks, what'll you take?o
The bridegroom was greatly relieved,
and took whisky.

Talking Ia Bows.


There is knack in talking to boys
which not every public speaker posses
ses. There is also an art, If not SCI
ence, in putting questions SO as to secure
desirable answers. Not long agoa noted
temperance lecturer was addressing the
young people of certain town in Tlli-
nois on his fayorite theme. He ssid
Nov, boys, when ask you question
you mustn't be afraid to speak right out
and answer me, When you look around
and see all these fine houses, farms, and
cattle, do you ever think who owns them
all nowa Your fathers own them, do
they notP' "Yes, sir,'' shouted hun
dred voices. ..WeH, where will your
fathers be in twenty years from nowP''
''Deadr' shouted the boys. That's
right. And who will own all this prop
erty thenp'' '.Us boysr' shouted the
urchins. "Right. Now tell me-did
you ever, in going along the streets,
notice the drunkards lounging around
the saloon doors, waiting for somebody
to treat them?'' ayes, sir, lotsof them. :"
''Well, where viii they be in twenty
years from now?'' "Deadr' exclaimed
the boys " And who will be the drunk
ards then?n ''Us boys!'' shouted the
unabashed youngsters, enjoying the joke.
The lecturer was SO astounded at the
ready reply. that it was some minutes
before he was able to proceed with his
discourse.

Text Prom the Buddhist Books.

All that we are is the result of what
we have thought; it is founded on our
thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If man speaks or acts with an evil
thought, pain follows him as the wheel
follows the foot of the OK that draws the
cart.
For hatred does not cease by hatred
at any time; hatred ceases by love-this
is an old rule.
Let man overcome anger by love;
let him overcome evil by. good. let him
overcome the greedy by iberality, the
liar by truth!
Let US live happily, then, not hating
those who hate US! Among men who
hate US let dwell free from hatred!
The man who is free, from eredulity,
but knows the Uncreated, who has cut
all ties, removed all temptations, re-
nounced all desires, he is the greatest of
men.
As the bee collects nectar and departs
without injuring the flower or its color
or its scent, so let a sage dwell in his
village.
When the learned man drives away
vanity by earnestness. he, the wise,
climbing the terraced nights of wisdam,
looks down upon the fools-serene he
looks upon the toiling crowd. as one
that stands on a mountain looks down
upon them that stand on the plain.

The Oldest Boy.

All in all, he has not too easy a time
of it. The exigencies surrounding the,
care Of succeeding brothers and sisters
cause him to. be set adrift at an early
age. At three years he is a boy, at six
q nuisance, and at ten is looked upon as
one of the charge de affairs of the family.
Is there an errand to run? he is trusty;
are there chores to do about the houseP
he is strong; do the father and mother
want an evening out? he must keep his
sleepy eyes open and care for the house,
and see that the younger ones do not
kick the bed blankets off and take cold;
does he need an overcoat, suit of clothes
or new fur cap? the wants of his jun
iors are not half supplied, and beside, he
has old clothes not quite outgrown, as
yet, In short, the Oldest is ..put upons
for the sake of the younger ones of the.
family, and his life is made one perpetu-
ell sacrifice for others He growls about
It sometimes, but after all he learns the
lesson of good viii and kindness SO.
thoroughly that when he grows mp it be-
comes second nature to him, and he be-
gins active life with manhood firmly en-
grated in him The chances are that
the Oldest will make the best. He has
learned to rely upon himself and deny
himself, while the younger members Of
the family are pampered and selfish.

What a Shark Swallowed.

The following letter, written by the
officers on the British bark LuttersCorth,
has been handed us with the request to
publish it: While the LattteraooTth was
laying becalmed in the tropics. large
shark was observed swimming around
the ship A large hook with chain
attached was baited with a four-pound
piece of pork. The shark made for it
and bolted it. In hauling him up the
chain parted, and he cooliy swallowed
the hook, chain and pork. Another
hook was then baited which he instantly
seized, biting-a three inch rope in twain,
and also swallowing it with another four
pound piece of pork. Another hook WAS
then baited with a similar piece of pork,
and with this the shark was caught and
landed on our main deck. All hands
cleared from him fer he was in terrible
fiutter. His tail was cut off with the
carpenters axe, which quieted him a
little. Some said it was not the same
shark we had hooked before. He was
cut open, when we found two large
shark-hooks. chain and rope snuggly
coiled away, with eight pounds of pork
in his locker 1t seems almost Incredible,
but all hands are witnesses to it.

The Old Home.

When old people relinquish their own
homes and go to reside with their chill
dren, they make a dangerous move.
Unmixed good seldom comes of it, al
though the change is often, if not al
ways, urged by sons and daughters
from the purest motives. They feel that
the care of housekeeping, the oversight
of home, are too great burdens Tor
father and mother. Come and live
with US, - they say, land take life easy"
But few, indeed, are the parents who
can adjust themselves to the new rela-
tions, and they find, after a few months,
that they have a peculiarly homeless
feeling. They miss the old neighbors
and all the little nameless associations
which helped to fill up the measure of
their days. They realize, as they never
did in the old home, to which they give
tone and direction, how strongly the
tide OF young life flows on and leaves
them behind, and unless their faculties
are greatly impaired they are filled with
