A Mans Castle.

In Connecticut there arc limits to the
rights of street wires to occupy private
property against the consent of its owner.
Recently a telephone company asked a
Hartford man permission to put its wires
for a few days on his roof. He was very
glad to obhGc the company, but soon
discovered that it was disposed to repeat
the parable of tho camel that got it's
head into the tent. After month had
passed the owncrnOtilicd the company to
take off its wires, and when it neglected
to do SO, after waiting a further rensona-
bic time, he took his ax and cut them
away. The company sued him for
malicious injury, hut the Judge charged
the jury that the owner Of the house
had as much right to the use of his roof
as to the use of his parIor, and in very
few minutes tho jury brought in a vef-
dict for the attendant IT would there
fore appear that in Connecticut house
owners have some rights which cYnrhcad
wires arc bound to respect.

happy as when he is in some dangerous

notion that most of the dead men found
floating in the North and East Rivers,
especially in the summer time, are the
victims of foul play. This is great
mistake; they are all, or nearly all, the
victims of foul whisky. People in great
trouble or anxiety also appear to be
attracted by the water. Just like the
drunkards, they NOPE along the docks

are going or what they are about, and
very often they are accidentally drowned

Drunkards are the enemies of water,
and certainly water is no friend of
drunkards. A great many drunken

vessels. Some drunken men, when they
foil into the water, become quite sober

"wo will go into the market to make
some purchases
They went to the baker.
" Hast thou good bread?"
"'Good, indeed, my masters, and fresh
and soft ns hutter."
" Mark this, fricnd," said the miscr of
BaSsora to the ono of Kufa, "buttcr is
compared with bread AS being the better
OF the two; rs We can only consume a
small quantity of that. it will also be the
cheaper, and we shall therefore act more
wisely, and more saviDgly too, in being
satisfied with butter"
They they went to the butter mrr
chant, and asked if he had good butter.
"GOod, indeed, and 1arory and fresh
MS the finest olive OIL, was the answer.
Mark this, ALSO" said the host to his
guest, coil is compared with the very
best butter, and therefore by much Ought
to he preferred to the latter"
They next went to the oil vendor.
Have you good oil?"
The very best quality, white and

Mark that, too" said the miser of
Bnssora to the one of Kufn "by tbis
rulc water is the very best. Now, at home

And, indeed, on their return, nothing
but water did he place before his guest -,
because they had learned that water was
better than oil, oil better than butter,
butter better than bread.
