"Why are you crying, my little boy?" as.zed the man.
 "Cause dads dead," answered the boy.
 That's too bad. When did he die"
 1.-Two months ago"
 "Two months ago! Why, that is very long time, you ought not to be crying now. You must have been very fond of your father?"
 "WelI, no, can't say that I was, but you see he was the only one I ever had"
 "That's so; but you have a mother, have you not?'
 "No, they're dead, too.",
 "They?-
 "Yes, you see," said the hoy between his sob, "we were all Mormons, living down in south- ern Utah, where dad was a bishop, and, of course. had five wives. We'll, each one of them had a boy bahy about the same age, and they were all named Brigham"
 "Isn't it strange to name tn em all alike?"
 "They always named the first one Brigham if it is a hoy, and," said he, "When we were about four years old, dad used to drive the little flock of Brighams down to the farm and make Us weed carrots. The farm was two miles from town, and one day, when we were alone, band of Indians kidnapped the whole five of us and took us away down into AIizona. The other boys got sick and all died, but they kept me with them five years before l could escape, which 1 finally did and got back home. Well when 1 got back, 1 didn't know my mother or even her number, and she didn't know me, and they all claimed had me as their little lost Brigham. So they had to draw cuts to see which one would have me; and 1 was hers till she dIed-then the next, and so on. My first mother died a year after I got home; then l became the son of mother num- Der two. She apOstatized, ran away and married a gentle and got killed in a railway collision. 1 lived with this mother a year and d half. The third mother got hooked to death by COW six months after she had me. The fourth one died when I was thir- teen and my last mother got drowned six mouths ago. And now dads dead. I tell you what's the matter, mister, they don't know what real sorrow is till they've been an orphan, like me, six times.-M.

Actors And Recitations.

times out of ten as ineffective as amateure in recitatiOnS. The tragedian is especially a fool Il he allows himself to be persuaded into that sort of Reclamation. Without the helps of costumes, scenery and dramatic ssociatiOn the cleVerest elocutiOn will not save him flom disappointed and disillusiOnizing his audience. l remember how shoe ked l was when John Mccullough, who had up to that time been to me the noble Roman father, Viz ginius, appeared before me, at d benefit matinee, an ordinary Iriehman in trousers, to drearily recite that everlasting doggerel, "rhe Little Hero," Perhaps you have seen and admired William E. Sheridan as fierce aud very bass Macbeth. He gave them The Little Hero" at the other afternoons performance in aid of the sufferers by the Standard Theatre fire. It was frightful. He wasn't tame. He trea ted it tragically. 1 tried to find relief by turning my eyes away, and thinking of something else. Naturally, the thing that came into my mind was the old story of the elder Booth reciting the Lords Prayer.in in a manner that threw a company of clergymen into tearfHl mysteries. Underline circumstances, l became skeptic as to the truth of that time worn anecdote. Remembering that 1 had last read it in the Congrega- tionalist, where it was republi- shed very solemnly "by re- guest" 1 subsequently hunted up and clipped it, and once more read about the triumph of the actor over the prejudice of the pulpit-hoW his hearers raptu- rouoly wept, and oue declared that he had never understood the petition before, though he had repeated it daily since child hood.
 Henry Irving, the London his triOn, is back in town from tour of several large cities, and 1 went to him with the slip.
 "What do you thing of that??" I asked, after he had persued it.
 "Booth was a great actor," he evasively replied.
 "No doubt, but do you believe that any actor ever lived, or ever will live, capable or exciting by simple recital of the Lords prayer such emotion as is descri- bed m this story?"
 "Well, the auditors were clergymen, you see, who doubt less were unfamiliar with dra- matic eff, cts. and Booth was a bold actor in stricking out for 3 big hit or big miss. No doubt he ;may have astonished and delighted those gentlemen, but when you ask me if Ibelieve that story, as it is told, I am bound tc say that I don't. 1t is quite in- credible. There isn't any such amount of Inspiration in acting nor impressfbility ill ..an audience. Besides, the matter recited was extremely familiar to the minis ters-much more so, it is fair t6 presume, than it was to Booth and that would make the feat ol stirring them with it all the most difficult. If a recitation i: to make anybody weep it must present a picture of woe, or tell a moving story. The Lords pray CT, recited as an elOcutionist'> exploit, could not possibly serve that purpose; and I should bt inclined to think that a; sense o Sacrilege might easily be tht feeling that it would excite il pious minds. At all events were I the greatest actor on earth, should not care to undertake the

Madison Bowles, of Znma, is life long
and enthusiastic democrat. Four years
ago when Gen. Hancock ran for the pres
idency Mr.. Bowles had a high pole
erected in front of his house, and fol-
months big Hancock and English flag
floated to the breezes at the top of thai
pole. 1t was strange sight to see in the
country. When the news came of the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks, Mr.
Bowles procured couple of anvils and
startled the surrounding country by boom
after boom in honor of the victory For
years his neighbors, who are mostly re-
publicans, had been rejoicing and taunt-
ing him after each national election, and
MIR. Bowles proposed to let them know
that his time had come to rejoice, and
that he intended to do so, and he did, and
the country for miles around his farm
echoed and reechoed with the cannonad.

Others took part. The discussion of the

this river for nearly thirty years. he con-

The earliest date which | remember
the river closing on was November 10Th,
1857. That was a cold and stormy winter
from the outset, but the people those days
were strong and hearty. None of your

worked those day, physically, and the
activity lent health and strength to their
systems, and the cold of the winter months
was nobly borne. The year previous to
this early closing of the river, the latte r
closed over on the 9th of November,
that, of course, was in 1856. That winter
was also quite cold but the pioneers stood
it well. In 1853 the river closed on De-
| cember I'd, and the winter which followed
was cold and moderately warm by turns.
Then in 1859 it closed one day later than
the preceding winter, Or on December 3.
