Mr.. WHITTIER, in his Introduction to the
''Letters of Lydia Maria Child" telling us
how instinctively her sympathies went out
to the wronged and the weak, quotes the
following stanzas from poem, 'The Un-
der Dog in the Fight" which she was her
self fond of quoting:
know that the world, the great big world,
VIII never moment stop
To see which dog may be in the wrong,
But viii shout for the dog ON top.
But, for me, 1 never shall pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right;
For my heart Will beat, while it beats at all,
For the under dog in the fight.
CAPE Con man who has kept care
full weather diary for some thirty
years says: Speaking of the large number
of stormy Sundays during the late winter,
Cape Cod man, who has kept diary for
twenty-nine years, says: Il have examined
every years diary since that date, to as
certain if eight stormy Sundays occurred
in succession during that time, and 1 find
that the nearest approach was in 1878, five
Sundays in succession, in which a part of
each day was stormy, three out of the five
having only small showers during some
part of the day. In the year 1854 there
were only g zen stormy Sundays. Eight
stormy Sundays in succession is an event
we have not experienced before in the last
twenty-nine years.
IT is said of Dore that one day, at Ischi.
a peasants wedding gave him the idea of
an exquisitely pretty sketch. On finishing
his drawing, he closed his album, put it in
the pocket of his pdIetot, and walked home
to his house. After dinner the album had
disappeared. Neither the host nor the
walters knew anything about it. Dore
went to bed furious. In the morning he
received parcel and an anonymous letter
to the following effect: 'Sir: Knowing
you would not sell your album, 1 robbed
you of it Chat last sketch of yours being
quite irresistible); but that in order that
you should not take me for common
thief, beg your acceptance of the accom-
panying travellers staff" Dore opened
the parcel. 1t contained a cane, with
gold head, encrusted with precious stones
really a princely gift. He was never able
to ascertain the name of the donor.

Fiction: Gov. Cleveland delivered an i'm
pressive temperance lecture in Albany, last
week, in this wise. He has granted
pardon - { man II Auburn state prison,
only upon condition that he shall totally
abstain from the use of Intoxicating
liquors for period Of five years from the
date of the pardon. It was understood
that the man had been led to the commits
sion of crime by indulgence in strong
drink. The governors action in this case
is a powerful argument in favor Of closing
the more than ten thousand dram shops in
this city, where crime is fostered and
murderers are constantly reared up. If
abstinence from strong drink is good for
this man, who was led by Is TO crime and
to prison, why is 1t not good for all the
young criminals whom the groggeries are
training for the state prison or the gal
lows?"
WHILE nosing about among the second
hand book stores of Philadelphia in 1889
DR.. Lands, of Danville, KY, picked up for
few shillings an old volume, printed on
vellum and dated 1890. This was copy
of the works of Anslem, the great chemist
and celebrated physician of the fourteenth
century, who is more generally known az
Paracelsus. Dr.. Lands did not suspect
the full value of his prize until he found
that among ths contents was the long-lost
and much-disputed letter of the great
chemist, which had for years been the sub
ject of controversy in literary and scien.
