that it will be plain sailing"
Lieut.. Reid again thanked his friend
in the warmest terms, and again they
separated. Everything turned out Just
as it would in a romance
Reid's regiment was placed behind the
battery and Reid was placed in the front
rank. The guns screamed at the fort a
while, and the fort guns screamed back
while the heavy party of blue-coated
regulars moved steadily and silently
across the plains towards the heights.
Suddenly the American batteries became
silent. Suddenly Lie,t. Reid, sword in
hand, started from his place in the front
rank of his regiment and ran swiftly
across the rough ground towards the
heights. He caught up with the storm
ing party lust as it reached the foot of the
hin, pushed his way to the front, and was
the first man on the great stone wall of
the fort. Shot thrice through the body
and wounded once or twice in the limbs,
he was carried down the hill on bloody
stretcher.
But ii was the old Lieut.. Reid, loving,
beloved, and not the sad-eyed homicide,
who was borne back to his quarters in his
blood. Still, the act which he so deeply
regretted clouded his whole life.

WHY lie Ceased to Wonder.
Denver Tribune,

Apropos Of the Egyptian trouble, we
wish 10 relate little story, the circum-
stances of which occurred during our
trip to the Holy Land several years or
more ago.
He was devout Christian and made
the study Of the Bible and proper un-
derstanding Of the Big Book the highest
aim of life.
When he arrived at the Sea of Galilee
his heart was filled with awe and he felt
enervated and cleansed by the thought
that he was going on the very same spot
where the Saviour once stood.
Approaching the hoatman, he address
ed him in his choiccst Arabic and, with
Bible and commentary in hand, awaited
an answer.
"Ah what smatterth yer? Why don't
yer talk the United States ?" asked the
man contelnptuously. He was real live
Yankee, who was picking up a living by
ferrying tourists across the sea.
$50 this is the Sea of Galilee," devout-
edly murmured the scarcher after knowl-
edge.
"Yaa-s."
"And that is where our Saviour walked
upon the watcrsw
"Yaa-s."
"How much will you charge to take me
to the exact spot ~
"Wa-al, you look Ike a clergyman, an
| won't charge YOU nothin'."
The devout one boarded the boat, and
at last was pointed out where the miracle
is said to have occurred. After gazing on
the waters and dividing his time between
glances at his books and devout ejuacula-
tions of satisfaction, the searcher signi-
fed his willingness to return.
"Charge you $50 to bring you back"
said the speculative Yankee.
But you said you would charge moth
ing"
"Naw, didn't. Nothin' to bring YOU
out; twenty to get back
"And do you charge every body $40 to
take them back ?" asked the astonished
searcher.
"Ya-as that's abeout the fgger."
"Well, then" said the devout one, as
he went down in bis clothes, mo wonder
our Saviour got out and walked"

The Handwriting of Famous Men.
London Telegraph,

IOnOon leleBrhpn,
Sometimes half dozen engravers are
engaged in rendering an artists drawing
of a single subject, which, when finished
presents 10 the Impractical eye one uni
form style. Nevertheless, a practiced
eye can discover where each individual
engraver's work leaves off and that of
every one of the rest begins.
In handwriting, as in other arts and
in literature, "the style is the man"
For all that, the evidence of handwriting
as of style generally, 10 not to be relied
on when mems lives and liberty are at a
stake. Still less can character be judged
from handwriting Brave men may
write mean hand and towards produce
bold and flowing script.
Porson, the great Greek scholar, among
the untidiest of students, wrote neatly
and elegantly, Cromwell's writing,
though large, is shaky. Shakspeares
signature is not particularly clear. Ma
poleon Bonaparte wrote illegibly, II is
said purposely to hide his bad spelling
The handwriting Of the tortuous-minded
Charles |. is as clear and striking as that
of Thomas Carlyle is grabbed and indis-
tinct.
On the other hand Queen Elizabeth's
writing is magnificent. Edgar Allen Poe
wrote beautifully and with scarce an era
sure, whereas the manuscripts of Charles
Dickens, to be seen at Kensington, are
rugged and full of alterations and emen-
dations. Many men write large or small,
in characters boldly or weakly formed,
according to their humor Of the moment.
Again, handwriting depends for its
style in the school in which it is taught
and the purpose to which it is applied
The manuscript of Byron, of Thomas
Campbell, and of Thackeray, may be
called the literary hand. 1t is uniform
in color, small, and fairly legible, but
without superintendent curve or flour
ish.
The great mass of copy" which pass
es through of a modern printer is more
or less ofthe same character. A CONNER
cial hand, as it is called, is something
quite different. Given an envelope ad-
dressed by city clerk, and one from the
hand on a university professor, and il is
well-nlgh certain that the former will be
the most distinguished for elegance and
clearness than the latter. Again, the
writing OF the rustic and uncultured
class is so much alike as 10 defy differ
entiation. All this goes to prove that the
evidence of experts must be be taken
with the proverbial grain of salt

A GENIuNE TONIC.

Iron and calisaya bark in proper combi-
nation with the phosphates, have long been
regarded as the purest remedial agent for
dyspepsia. general debility and the long
train of ills that follow weakened pbysic-
al nature. DIR. HARTER's IRON Tone has
proven the superior value of such combi-
nation. 1t is u remedy that has come into
general use for the troubles indicated. and
no prominent druggist throughout the
country is without it, so Wide spread Is the
public demand for 1t. Iron ofitself and cal
isaya bark as . ell--the two great specifics
so much used-are very disagreeable medi-
cines to take. and physicians often dislike
to give them. In DIR. HARrER's Tonic they
are combined in palatable preparation,
and one that does away with the need Of
doctors prescriptions and doctors bills for
large class of diseases that afflict the hu-
man family.

A Pleasant Experiment with salt.

Do you want to grow salt, and at the
same time have an interesting, handsome
ornament? The proceeding is a novel
chemical experiment that may be tried
by anyone. Put in goblet one table
spoonful of salt and one spoonful Of blu
ing. Fill the goblet two-thirds full of
water, and set it in a position where it
will have plenty of warmth and sunlight.
In little while sparkling crystals will
commence forming on the outside of the
glass, and it is both a novel and inter
esting sight to watch it gradually growing
day by day. until the outside of the COB
let is entirely covered over with beauti-
full white crystals. Another variation
of this beautiful experiment would be to
take goblet with the base broken off,
and fasten it in the center of thin
piece of board, which may be round
square or oblong. After the crystals
have formed on the glass, set it on a tiny
wall bracket, and place bright holiday
or birthday card in front Of it; this will
hide the base, on which no crystals will
form. After this is done, fill the goblet
with flowers or dried grasses, and you
will have vase which will cost COM
paratively little.

How Deaf Mutes Confuse Ideas.
From Macmillans Magazine.

There can be no doubt that pupils who
learn abstract truths through the medium
of gesture, which can but describe the in
effable by means of the yisible-the inf
mite by things circumscribed-otten OBJ
tain very confused ideas on such subjects.
Prof Formal of Milan mentions some
striking cases, illustrating the erroneous
impressions produced by such means.
Before the oral method was introduced
into Italy he always felt much difficulty
in conveying abstract truth. One day a
pupil in the fourteenth year of his in
struction, fell i'll. When the professor
visited him, he found the poor lad weep
ing bitterly, in the deepest grief "that
would not be comforted," nor could he be
induced to tell the cause of his distress,
the sight of which was pitiful. The ten
der-hearted master used all the arts of
pantomime TO draw the secret forth He
tried to make the boy understand that he
loved him like a father, and, pointing 10
his cassock, showed him that, like his
mother, he wore the gown, and felt for
him as she did At length the poor child
ventured to tell his secret. Covering his
ewes with his hand, in token of shame,
he signified by gestures and repeated il
by the manual alphabet that he had
Thrown up his soul y
He had confused the sign commonly
used to express the soul with that which
meant sickness. Another time the same
gentleman found pupil busily engaged
in drawing crosses on slate and blowing
upon them. He thought this an odd
amusement
|, "What are you about ?" he inquired.
The boy signified that he was drawing
likenesses of spirits.
"But these are crosses, not spirits" said
his interlocutor.
The boy was perplexed.
"The teachers gave me this sign for tn.
spirits" he replied, "and in~ardly | al
WAYS picture them to myself thus"
Prof Formal states that these answer.
were to him "a great revelation" show
ing him how widely the best intended
instruction might shoot from the mark
and how unreliable was the medium
through which he had taught
