A Beer-Drinker's Fate.

1t was meeting OF the Pumphan'
die Division of the Cold Water
Knights of the Total Abstinence
brotherhood. Several eloquent
speeches had been made on the gen
eral principles of the order and q
sharp discussion had taken place
on the relative strengthening quail
ties of toast water and Cruel, during
which some warm but kindly per
sonalities had passed between Broth
er Slimey and the Rev. Fogg Pond
when an interesting stranger arose
to address the brethren. He was q
fine looking man of 30 years of age
and his appearance was greeted with
applause by the sisters.
The Rev. F. Pond desired to know
if the stranger were a brother.
The stranger replied he was both
a man and brother.
The Rev. f. Pound meant was he
a brother of that Brotherhood?
The stranger was a brother OF the
Brotherhood of Mankind, but was
not a brother of that particular
Brotherhood.
Brother Slimey objected TO any
one addressing the meeting who
was not a brother of that Brother
hood.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD ii 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit OF all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives 1t
needed strength, stiffness and s9iidity, while
the urritten guarantee of the manufacturers
rarranting each case to wear tIrenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many Of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
bv wears of use without wearing through
the gold. DUbuQuE, IA. Dec "A. 1851.

Frightened 20 Death.

Few people seem to properly esti-
mate the great wrong of frightening
children. Nearly every household
has its ugly old man. or its great
old bear This terrible old man and
this great old bear are powerful fac
tors in nursery discipline. Come
along here, now mother or nurse
will say to a child, and let me put
YOU to bed.' L don't want to go
now the child replies. You had
better come on here now, or I'll tell
that ugly old man to come and take
you away. There he comes now.
This has the intended effect, and the
child, trembling in fear, submits at
once and goes to bed probably to
see in Imagination all kinds of hor-
rible faces.
The sad death of a little girl,
which occurred recently, shows what
a strong impression these boogies
make on the minds of children.
The little girl was beautiful child,
and everyone at the fashionable
boarding house where her parents
were spending the summer months
loved her with that purity of afiec-
tioD which a child SO gently, yet so
strongly inspires. She would stand
at the gate and clap her little hands
in elee when her father came to din
ner, and when he would take her
on his shoulder, she would shout
and call to everyone to look how
high she was. One day a large
shaggy dog came into the yard, and
when she ran to him and held a
flower to his nose, he growled and
turned away. She was terribly fright
ened, and the black nurse who stood
near, was not slow in making a
mental note of the impression the
dog had made. Several nights
afterwards, when bedtime came, the
child was unusually wakeful.
Yer'd better come heah and git
in dis bed, the nurse sternly COM
manded.
| don't want to-
All right, den. Use gwine out an
call dat ole dog what growled at yer.
When he comes an fines yer outen
de bed, he'll bite your head off,
The little girl grew deathly pale.
Nuthin' would suit dat dog bet
ter dan ter get a chance at yer.
T'other night he cotch little girl
across de road an eat her all up
The child screamed.
Come on, yer, den, an / won't let
him ketch yer
The poor little thing obeyed, Her
father and mother were at an enter
tainment, and there was no appeal
from the negro woman's decision.
When morning came the little girl
did not awake with her glad good
mornin' papa and mamma. She
had tossed all night, and a hot fever
had settled upon her. She grew
rapidly worse, and the next day a
physician declared that there was no
hope for her. She became dehrious,
and struggling, would exclaim:
Dog shan't have mammals little
girlr
1t was a sorrowIng circle that sur
rounded her death bed. The par
ents were plunged into grief which
none but the hearts OF fathers and
mothers can feel.
Her last moments were series OF
struggles. How hard the beautiful
can die. She wildly threw up her
little hands and shrieked:
Go away, dog
A gentle hand wiped the death
froth from her lips.
Again she struggled violently and
shrieked:
Dog shan't have
But she died ere the sentence was
finished.

The poor little fellow was almost
