The lnadyertence of Setting Hens.

This is the season when hens run mad
and will not be comforted unless they
can hide away somewhere an sit day
and night on a wooden nest egg or an
old door knob.
Several men were discussing this
question in grocery store one evening
recently. A man who owns a large
flock of Dorkings remarked, "Not even
an act of Congress can break up a settin'
hen"
Ever tried jammin' 'em under a
barrel an pourin' water on 'em?'
demanded the man on the sugar bar

eyes," said the Dorkine man,
'Ive poured water on 'em, till they
grew wob-footed, like blamed duck,
and afterwards found 'em in an old
coal hod settin' away on Jumps OF
cosl"
"Tie red rag around one wing" said
a man who was eating cheese and crack
ers, "That'll fix 'em."
Nights well offer 'em a chrome,
said the Dorking man. II tied whole
red wooden skirt on one last spring
and dog my cats if she didn't make a
nest of it and set three weeks on the

Then the grocer said it WAS time tc
close up, and each man girded up his
loins and slowly filed out.-Deir0H Fire.

The Wisdom of Nature.

A story is told nowadays of dis.
tingulshed prelate cf the church OF
England who, on first accepting
country benefice in the gift of his col
lege, urged friend to pay him visit
as soon as he got into residence, and
added, in perfect good faith: " / have
a nice little green field attached to the
rectory. | mean to keep couple of
sheep, and shall have mutton kidneys
fresh every morning fol breakfast. OF
another town-bred scholar, also occu-
pyng place on the English Episcopal
bench, it is toll that he was some
time officiating in country parish be-
fore he learned that the smiles that
greeted his pathetic reading in church
of Nathans parable, were caused ny
ais rendering of the verse, which he
read as follows: "But the poor man
had nothing save one little 'uee
lamb" etc. Mere unfortunate than
this was the "iearned clerk" brought
before us by Melsndsr. In the part
of Germany where this good mans
cure was situated, sleeps milk was
extensively employed in the man.
u'dCtuie Oh CHEESE, dDu lot the sake
of cleanliness and the convenience of
milk-maids, it was the practice to
dock the tails of the ewes, while the
young rams were left untouched. The
operation of farm-yard surgery was
performed a few days after the lambs
were weaned, and was quite unknown
to the pastor. This worthy man, one
Sunday in the pulpit, desiring to dcaw
his illustrations from topics familiar
to his hearers, declared how often he
had admi1d the marvellous wisdom
and design exhibited in nature produc-
ing eve lambs with short tails, and
thus benefcently providing for the
needs and even the convenience of
man. This little incident has an air of
verisimilitude .about it.-Blackwood's

Cooling His ArdOr.

A popular Partisan singer, as she en-
tered the theater on recent evening,
received from the doorkeeper a bun
die which provoked great merriment
when she opened it in the green
room. 1t contained roasted chicken
with a note from an ardent admirer,
begging that she would send her por-
trait and something belonging to her
which she held TO be precious" to a
given address. AS the lady happens
to be married, her husband undertook
to cool the ardor of her correspondent
by reply which ran thus: "Sir, as
my wife is busy dressing ncr last baby
"a girl, dear sin she requests me to an
swer your note and to send you my

ANIMALS on The STAGE.
Anecdotes OF a Parrot, Two Rams and
an Elephant.

According to the Denver Tribune, a
parrot lately distinguished itself at the
Opera House there, the manager of
which mad borrowed it from restau-
rant-keeper. Daring the first act of
cold Shipmates," the bird was quiet
enough; but as it had become accus-
toned to it's novel surrounding, COM
menced to display its accomplishments
to the amusement of the audience and
the dismay of the actors. "Lsmb chops
or Dreaded veal?' screamed Poll, bring-
ing forth loud SSH" to which the
bird responded with: "Shut up; you
make me tired" @ lit kissing the
cook' and voiley of oaths. An ac-
tress pushed the cage to the wings of
the sage, to be seized by the manager,
the voice of the indignant parrot grad
ually dying away in the distance, until
the slamming of the door shut it ont
altogether, but not before the offender
Poll had revenged its removal by min
pir., The captor in the leg. little
later, the manager thus addressed his
treasurer: "Mr. Morse, llet it be un-
9erstood once for all that hereafter no
living wild beasts will be introduced on
our stag :"
Perfect in their behavior on the
boards of the Wallner Theatre, Berlin.
were two fine rams introduced in a
spectacular piece at that house. When
the drama had run its course, the
manager took the rams home with
him, and placed them in the kitchen
for the night. 1t was his custom to
indulge in an early cup of coffee in
bed, the duty of bringing it to him de-
volving upon the cook. Performing
her usual Office on the morning after
the coming home of the rams, that
functionary forgetting all about them,
left the kitchen door opeR behind her,
and the curious creatures followed
close upon her heels until they passed
into the drswing-room, where they
elected to stay. One side of the room
was adorned with splendid mirror
reaching from floor to ceiling, and see
ing themselves reflected therein the
rams lowered their horns and dashed
at their fancied foes. Then came a
crash, followed by another, as the
startled woman dropped her tray with
shrek, which brought the manager
on the scene In double quick time to
vent useless anathemas on the heads
of the unconscious offenders.
However much such clever crea-
lures may be valued by their owners
they are very liable TO come to an I'M
timely end. Barnum lost a rope-danc-
ing, organ.turning elephant very sud
denly, the sad news being conveyed to
him in a letter from one of his men,
running: "Mr. Barnum, one of the
elefants is ded. He dyed of enforma-
ton of the brane." Well" was the
showman's commentary, "we mustn't
teach the els plants so much. Giving
this animal such stock of 'enforma-
ton has cost me ten Thousand dollars:
but Sam must have a few lessons in
ortbography; he wants Conformation on
the brane."

A Story About Webster.

sponded gentleman of mellow years
and spirits, when inquired of concern

what has been said of him reminds me
of an incident which, with others of a
similar kind have heard, gives pretty
good idea OF his traits relating to
finances. Mr.. Choate was in Wash
ington at the tine. He and Mr.. Web
ster were almost "a brothers. One day
Choate needed 800 and he applied to
MIR. Webster. Five hundred dollars,
says Mr.. Webster. No, | haven't il at

Choate. The latter was glad to hear
il, and would wsi'. Dtaw your note,
said Webster; III sign 1t, and bring
you the money, While You are about
it, make the noe for a thousand; a
thousand is as easy to get as five hun
dred.' Mr.. Choate said that five hun.
dred was all he needed. IN take the
other five hundred, said Webster. TIE
note Was drawn, and Mr.. Webster, tax
ing his cane, went into the avenue.
Good morning, Mr.. \ good morning,

banker, ia the blandest manner. What

believe he made his note for passing
the paper to the banker. There was
no SUCH thing rs hesitating, much less
declining, and SO the banker was only
100 happy to accommodate the head
of Mr.. F,llmore's administration. The
gold was laid out in two equal piles a.
Mr.. Webster's request. Putting one
in each pocket, and with one Of the
bows with which only Mr.. Webster
couldgive, he departed. Here, Choate,
here is the five hundred, said the
great expounder, entering where
Choate was waiting. Handing him the
gold, Mr.. Webster resumed his reading
where he had been interrupted by Mr.
Cnoate's entrance"

recollect much about the sequel. Both

the order of New England women

man aid to governor OF another
state, rode up to the mansion and
asked an old man who was digging
post holes TO hold his horse. The aid
went to the front door, and made his
appearance known by a severe ranpiug
on the door. The mistress of the
house, direct from her kneeding
trough, answered the door and invited
the caller in. The governor was in
and she would summon him. But he
was not to be found. The popular
halo toward the barn elected no re-
Spouse. He was not at the side door,
nor In the field. The coat hanging be-
hind the door indicated that the COVER
