A Mules Sagacity.

A writer in the Youths Companion
relates the following instance of 8
mules sagacity:
While stationed at Fort Webster. in
what is now Arizona, he started down
the canon on a very fine and large
mule. The beast stopped abruptly,
and signifed that he would not bulge
a step. Spurs were dug into his flanks
to no purpose. There he stood as firm
as rock. Hammond pulled him round
and galloped back to the fort. The
next morning it was ascertained thai
at point scarcely one hundred yards
in advance of where the mule gained
his victory some Apache Indians had
ampushed the road, and but for the
brute's keen nose and ears, and firm
ness in resisting an obstinate man,
short work would have been made o.
both.
/ While journeying across the plains
thirty or more years ago there were
hundreds of instances equally remark
able The writer stood guard every
second night over the stock that was
out TO Craze. and depended entirely fol
warning of danger from two large
American mules. They would scent
an Indian or grizzly "a much Longer

A Popular f'alIacy.

among the unexploded fallacies
must be reckoned the popular error of
making it incumbent on blush to al
ways follow lie
1t was popular lawyer who spoke,
3 man whose face may be seen almost
any time in the Criminal court build
ing when more than usually interest
ing malefactor is on trial, man to
whom large and varied experience
with liars of all sorts must be conceded.
''Win you elucidate?" said the re-
porter.
THAT l will, me boy. Whenever /
hear person testify on the witness
stand | observe two things: whether
that person is quiet, self-possessed, and
glib, or else embarrassed, easily dis
concerted, and led into contradiction.
In the first case, know that no power
on earth could make that person blush,
no matter how untruthful the testi-
mony might be. In the latter case,
though, | am aware that blush will fol-
low blush as the cross-eXamination gets
more and more lively. Experienced
liars, those who make lying profitable
to them, never blush. They consider
this sign of moral and physical weak
ness as below their dignity. The fact
is that no prevaricator of any magni-
tude at all ever is guilty of blushing.
1t is only the greenhorn in this business
who colors when he sees that his lie is
not believed-but only then, not other
wise even with him. The smoothest
and most accomplished liars are found,
not among the female sex as another
widespread error will have it, but
among the males. You see, it takes
more than ordinary strength of charac-
ter, very good memory, and a logical
mind to carry through successfully a
system of avoiding the truth. Now,
that is where the ladies are deficient
They can tell beautiful lies on the spur
of the moment with the apparent cam
dor of white-souled priestess of Vesta,
but they cannot be consistent about Il,
nor can they evolve in their logical Sc
quence one lie after the other till per-
fectly formed pyramid of them has
been built up, on the apex of which
their placidly slumbering couscierce
may gracefully recline. -
Il think you're rather hard on the
ladies there" said the newspaper m an,
who recalled some very brilliant ex-
ploits by women in this particular line.
Trust me, l know whereof L am
speaking. AS for their capacity not to
blush when Disgusting the facts, the
women compare very well with the
men, but not in the above points. And
as for blushing generally, I've found
that you very rarely will meet liar
above the age of y who will blush un-
der any consideration. In fact, tho
most barefaced, cold -blooded liars,
combining effrontery with skill, are to
be encountered in the youth of this
land, both sexes sharing alike in the
honor. There is another curious fact
| ought to mention. 1t concerns my
own profession. While a LAWYER, when
pleading before Judge, or when deal
ing with his clients or brother attor-
neys, is man justly reputed for his
iudicious mendacity, he strangely
enough lacks that quality if. by any
chance, he is put on the witness stand.

Better Than Gold.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles thousand fold,
Is healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please.
a heart that can feel for another's woe,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Tho toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Cntried By the iusts and cares of wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Of the sons of toll when the labors close;
And the balm that drops on his slumbers
deep,
Bring sleeping draughts to the downy bed
Where luxury pillows its aching head.
The toiler simple opiete deems
A shorter route TO the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
"A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore,
Inc sage'S lore and the poets lay,
The glOries of empires passed away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yied a treasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
Where all the hreside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with heavens decree.
The blessings that never We're bought or sold,
And center there are better than gold

it is exceeded only by that of Mr.. Ben
nett When Mr.. Dana took hold of the
Sun he made a contract with the trus-
tees to edit the paper at q salary of

twenty shares in the paper. Said he:
"Now if the profits of the paper are

propose that all dividends above % per
cent. shall be divided, and that L have

dividend of % per cent. seemed not
only very large, but very improbable,
said: ''Why, OF course, if We declare
any divident over % per cent. you shall
have one-half." will you make a
contract to that effect for ten years?"
asked Mr.. Dana. The stockholders
agreed and the contracts were made.
Within two years the paper paid over
80 per cent, and for a number of years
has not paid less than 80. The ten
year contract expired year or two ago

Editor Herman Raster, of Chicago,
says of the beer law in Germany: 1.-The
breweries are under constant surveil-
lance of revenue officials, and the beer
is frequently subjected to chemical
analysis by health officers. The retail
vender is compelled to give q certain
amount of beer-no foam-wnen a
glass of beer is called for. The re-
ceptacle is large enough to hold foam
and beer. OF the latter the glass must
hold three eighths of iiter-some-
where between half pint and pint.
To enable q beer drinker to see whether
he receives the requisite quantity OF
beer, the Public sealer marks every
glass at the height to which the beer,
exclusive of foam, must go.
1.-The late Judge Black" says awrit-
er in the Philadelphia Press, twas a
Shakspearian critic and authority, and
nothing grated on his ear more harshly
than misquotation. During the last
constitutional convention, of which he
was member, the country delegates
could hardly make a speech without
dragging in some poetical excerpt,
which they usually butchered. and the
Judge, who never knew whether he
was in or out of order, would interrupt
them with his corrections, or would
90 to the clerks desk and see that the
lines were printed right. One day there
had been an unusual number of mis-
haps of this kind, and the Judge had
secured leave of absence to go home.
Just before leaving he walked over to
Mr. Gerue w Riddles seat and said I:
'Biddle, l am going away. and if, IN
my absence, you allow any injustice to
be done to the memory of William
Shakespeare, 1 viii hold you personally
responsible. >"

Faithful Mothers.

How much there is sometimes in a
single word. One word can often move
the heart more deeply than the whole
of an elegant sermon. Speak the word
household, or ''freside, or 'home,"
to one who is wandering friendless,
homeless, and, perhaps, in a strange
land, and how quickly the tears will
start, the bosom heave and the lips
quiver. Memory goes back with light
ming speed to the DAYS of childhood
when the loved household gathered in
an unbroken band around the freside
in the dear home. The happy voices
that are scattered far away, or hushed
in the silent dormitory of the dead,
are plainly heard by memery's ear, and
above the rest sounds the loving moth
er's voice as with one of the sweet
songs of Zion she sang her weary child
to sleep. As memory brings up so
faithfully scenes of the old home, and
7ust as faithfully his life since he left
that home, how our wanderer wishes
himself back again an in ocent child
on his mothers lap listening to he old
Bible stories that are ever new. The
stories float in his memory and
VI llClu anu HIS IllOtuCI CAUSE
the tears to roll down his cheeks. Oh,
the memory OF a loving, faithful moth
er can soften the hardest heart! How
her advice, precepts and love can help
us even when she has long been mold
ering in the grave. When we think of
home how our thoughts will 60 back to
the place where mother was, and when
we look forward to the beautiful home
beyond the river, faith and imag gination
see mother there. Oh, mothers of the
youth of our country, do you realize
what a power far good is inyour hands
if you will only use it? Are you so
living before your children, so training
them, that when they go out into the
world away from you, or you are taken
from them, their memories of you will
be as guiding star to keep them in
the right path? Do you realize that
God has placed the children with you
to take care of for Him? Do you stop
to think that the way in which mothers
train their children will now influence
the whole nation, aye, the whole world,
in years to come? If you do, why do
you leave that little one of tender years
out in the street away from under your
own eye and ear, to learn more of evil
in one hour that you can uproot in
lifetimeP How are you training your
sons that in time so come are to fill of
fees all over the land? Are you doing
your best to have them grow up honest,
truthful menP Are you training your
daughters to be true women, worthy
to become the wives and mothers of
the nationP Oh, woman, take care of
the precious talent God has given, you;
and one way to make the best use of it
is to make your home the most pleas
ant spot on earth. Gather your house
hold around 4 cheerful fireside, where
the cold, wintry winds of unkindness
and neglect are not allowed to come,
but from which the members will carry
warm glow all their lives.

BOATS SBICYCIESAND HAYFEVER.

With the opening of the season of out
door sports comes the time of trouble for
the poor victims of Hay Fever. For
them flowers have no odor, and the sum
mer little or no beauty. To snuff, sneeze
and wipe their weeping eyes for three or
fouI successive months:-this is their
pitiable portion. There is no help in
sea voyages, there is no help in high
mountain air. These only tighten the
pocket and leave the disease unabated.
But there is positive cure in Ely's

to suffer it is because you neglect q
