THE FOX AND THE GRAPES.


A Fox was one day walking through
the Woods, when he espicd a luscious
bunch of Grapes hanging just out of
his Reach.
GA predestined Idiot named Esop
once started Campaign Lie about me to
the Effect that | pronounced a Certain
bunch of Grapes Sour because | couldn't
get it. Now, if -Esop had ever studied
Natural History, or had even turned to
Zell's Encyclopedia, page 942, he would
have learned 4hat my stagc-name is Vul
pus Fulvus, that am allied to the genus
CAMS, and that am strictly carnivorous.
l cannot eat Grapes; but / could Chaw
that Ksop up without half trying, If
could only get Show"
The Moral of this Fable teaches us
that a man who is not up in Natural
History is not the sort of man to write a
Book which is considered a Guide for
Children.
THE DINER AND THE QUAIL-oN-ToAsT.
When the Quail-on- Toast was brought
the Diner said;
"Ha, ha, my little Quail, you'll make
me Dainty Morsel now"
"Don't be too sure" responded the
Bird: 81 am not Quail at all; am
an English Sparrow four years old, and
by rights belong in the Old Ladies'
Home"
The moral of this little fable teaches
us that all that glitters is not quail, and
that we never should put our trust in
restaurateurs. Puck.

WISE WORDS.

To rule ones anger is well; to prevent
it is better.
When prayers are strongest, mercies
are nearest.
Censure is the tax man pays for be
ing eminent.
Discomfort is the want of self-reliance;
it is the infirmity of will.
Confront improper conduct, not by re-
taliation, but by example.
Repentance without amendment is like
continually pumping without mending
the leak.
The history of all the world tells us
that immoral means will ever Intercept
good ends.
The claims of habit are generally too
small to be felt until they are too strong
to be broken.
The greatest pleasures often originate
in pain, and the worst pains often spring
out of pleasures.
We blame fortune for not visiting us,
whereas in many cases the fault lies at
our own door in doing nothing to invite
her in.
A mans desires always disappoint him;
for though he meets with something that
gives him satisfaction, yet it never thor
oughly answers his expectations.
True goodbrceding is nothing more
than the practice of the common princi-
pies of humanity and good nature, ex-
tended to all the concerns of common
life
Without women man would be rude,
unpolished solitary; he would be a
stranger to grace, which is no other than
the smile of love Woman suspends
around him the smiles of life, like the
honeysuckles of the forest which adorn
the trunks of the oak with their per
fumed garlands.

How Moorish Freebooter Was Cap.
tUrpd

a correspondent of the London g lobe
gives an account of the capture and exc
cution of Cid Suleiman Ben Kader, an
Arab patriot chief, whose career in many
respects resembles that of the celebrated
Add el-Kadcr The Cid half brigand
and half partisan leader, gave the French
serious amount of trouble many years
ago; but, the fortune of war going
against him, he escaped across the from
tier, was arrested by order of the father
of the present sultan of Morocco, and was
incarccrated at MeQuinez. But he escaped
across the frontier to Algeria, where he
once more entered on his favorite occu-
patton of freebooter. Confinement,
moreover, seems to have made him par
ticularly acrimonious, as he commenced
Systematically to slaughter any of the
French colonists who happened to fall
into his power At last, however, being
hard pressed by the troops, he once more
escaped across the Moorish frontier. and
carried on a spirited series of depreda-
tons in Morocco.
One expedition after another failed to
capture the fugitive, large rewards were
offered for his destruction. but without
result, and the French complained bit
terly of the remissneSs shown by the
Moorish government in allowing to re-
main at large rebel who might at any
time recross the frontier, raise the stand
ard of revolt among the Algerian tribes,
and provoke a serious Instruction in the
colony. Diplomacy was then tried.
Muley Archid, an uncle of the sultan,
obtained an interview with the rebel on
the pretext of arranging for the purchase
of some land claimed by the Cid. and in
order that no undue advantage might be
taken by either party, it was agreed that
each should be attended by twenty five
horsemen, but no more. All preimna-
ries having been settled, the meeting
took place in IA tent. and while the usual
interchange of tlowcry eastern compli-
ments was going on between the con
tracing parties violent connection was
heard outside, caused by the arrival of a
large body OF horsemen, who had sud
denly appeared upon the scene. Old
Suleiman's twenty-five horsemen were
quickly overpowered, as was the chief
himself, when he was promptly decapita-
ted, and his head, having been packed
in camphor according to the Moorish
custom, was transmitted to the sultan at

CuriOsities of the Sense of Smell,

Take the scents of the flowers. Who
is there that proceeding along some leafy
country lane does not encounter deli
cate odor, which irresistibly carries his
memory back to days when, younger and
freer from real care, he gamboled among
the gems of Nature to which the suggest
ing perfume belongs.
The smell of violets hidden in the green,
Pours back into my empty soul ami frame
The time when | remembered to have been
Joyful and free from bame
The power of association is indeed the
most remarkable of all the phenomena
which demand attention when studying
the subject.
The writer has himself met with an in
dividual whom the noisome smell of sui
phuretted hydrogen gratiiied and pleased.
His explanation was that many of his
happiest days were spent as student in a
well-known chemical laboratory, where
certainly that smell prevailed to an I'M
usual extent. A French author tells us
of young lady who loved
beyond all perfumes the smell
of old books. Perhaps, with affection
ate solicitude, she had been the constant
attendant upon some old booIwOrm of
father or guardian, and hence the leath-
cry mustiness took her back to days
when. quietly happy, she seemed to re-
cognize in the dusty tones living and
trusted friends.
Many instances are mentioned by diff
fercnt authorities of persons being rem
dcred faint, or otherwise being painfully
affected, by such odors as musk, civet,
and even in some cases by the more gen
orally agreeable one of the rose. Often,
however, this effect is due more to imagi-
nation than to anything else: for example,
DIR. Carpelli tells us OF a lady who could
not bear the smell of the rose, and ac-
tually tainted on receiving visit from a
friend who carried one; and yet the
flower, the cause of all the trouble, was
All artificial one, and quite innocent of
SCENT
Many uncivilizcd tribes, compelled by
their lack of other resources to cultivate
to perfection the animal senses, are able
to smell as keenly as the bloodhound
and can track their objects of search for
miles aided only by the marvellous deli
cacy of their ollactory nerves, Blind
persons also often experience this extra
ordinary eXaltation of the sense. \ blind
tipathy to cats, acquired thereby sense
of smell so keen that he could tell the
proximity of pussy even where several
doors interviewed between him and the
object of his dislike, and when he had no
means of acquiring a knowledge of Its
presence except by the exercise of the
nerves of smell.
The constant smelling of one odor, as
is well known, quickly destroys the per
ception of that particular one. Richelieu
used to live in an atmosphere SO per
fume laden as positively to be painful to
his visitors, while he himself was uncon-
scious of the suspicion of smell.
Those employed in occupations such as
bone boiling, chemical-manure making,
and the like, are able to exist amid
smells of the most sickening character in
virtue of this same fact. Chambers Jour

Sleep More Necessary TlInn Food.

Every household should teach aud en-
force respect for sleep. That is not to
say that ncalthy young persons, who sit
up late at nights or are out very late,
should be suffered to sleep past tho

the retiring hour earlier. But enjoin a

When Ought Folks to Marry.

Some Of the distinguished ministers
Of religion in Ne~ York have been inter
viewed about marriage 1T an early aye
and the domestic trouble which it some
time causes. The Rev. DIR. John Hall
thinks that tendency in this country is
not to marry too young, but to wait too
long, in hope Of amassng wealth before
marrying. lie believes, however, that
there should be here, rs in Europe, a
licenscr, to whom all must apply before
getting the knot tied, because ministers,
a rule, have neither time nor facilities
to make The necessary inquiries in all
cases. The Rev. Dr. w. NJ Saylors
f:tvors a law iorbi!ding the marriage Of
a man under twcnty.One and Of Il woman
under eighteen years of age. lie refuse,
to marry people under these ages. The
Rev. DR.. X. S. Storr5 holds similar
views. The Rev. DR. Thomas Armitagc,
vino ten years ago secured the passage of
state law empowering ministers 10
administer pa,hs to persons sll.pcc,cd of
not telling the truth abDu, their fitness
or untitnc.s for the marriage contract,
thinks that the lowest limit Of age should
be eighteen years Tor the groom and six
teen for the bride. lie, too, regards a

II. G. Potter, while not prepared to gay
what the ngc should be, is convinced
that the common law makes the limit
trp low, II bring fourteen aud twelve
years. The Rev. Robert Collyer would
-ay sixteen and fifteen at the lowest, but
prefers twenty one and eighteen, and
would no; marry people under those
ages, even with their parents consent.
He approves the old fashioned custom Of
announcing the ban. in church on three
successive Sunday-. The Rev. Dr. W.
J.. Morgan has not III twenty years been
asked to marry anybody und"r age except
| once Under certain circumstances he
might unite persons ~ young AZ fourteen
years, but no consideration could induce
him To marry children under that age.
The Rev. DR.. Il. H. Booth refuses all
