A promised tip of two francs spurred
the youth into showing me the possible

me to believe that he intended to follow

thought that the rubicon was passed;
subsequent reflection convinced me that
I was wrong. Laying me upon slab,

blushing bride at Niagara to her
spouse. as they gazed at the Niagara
falls, after they had enriched the hack
man for life:
"B.ane and Cleveland were chosen,
were they not, my deary pet?"
"rhcy were nominated ct Chicago,

"When Will they he elected, my angel
lovc?"
"Oniy oac Of them will he elected,

''Then they were both nominated at
Chicago, my pretty pet?"
"You soc my dear, one is a Democrat
and the other is Republican"
"Thcn what is the use of having two
men nominated at Chicago if they can't
both be elected? I know there are al
ways two men on the ticket. There
were Tilden and Hendricks and Hayes
and Wheeler. Pa told me So"
"Yes; but you must understand that
there is vice president.
"Oh, my darling Of darlings!" ex-
claimed the bride, reproaching herself
for her doubts; II see all. Cleveland is

aubsns' Simon Peter on the Cross.

Twas in Cologne some years ago,
had been wandering all day about the
city, and was quite tired and very cross;
for it seemed as if the whole city had
made up its mind to pick my pocket. I
was going to my lodging when my guide
said, "There is picture I want you to
still see," "Anything to pay?" 1 asked
grimly. eyes" he answered, $50 much. !"
"Then, I said, IT will not go. I am
sick of the whole business and tired out.
I will 60 home." But the man had his
way after all, and 1 went to see the pict-
ure painted by Rubens for his own
parish church. It was an altar piece,
and they were ready to show it after I
had paid my money. No man in this
world could he more unfit than
was to see that picture. They turned
it to the light, and stood half minute,
Isuppose, in the silence with the setting
sun shining on it, and then 1 was
sobbing and striving to choke back my
tears. It was terrible picture, Us
some of you will remember-the death
Of the Simon Peter on tho cross, with his
head downward. The master never
made grander work than in this picture.
The pain of it smites you with u solid
stroke, but the secret of its greatness
is in the eyes; and these are wonderful
gray eyes-the eyes of the prophet, in
which the painter has hidden such
deeps of glory and victory that, as I
stood there amazed through the power
and beauty of it. seemed to hear the
angels singing. The man was looking
from the cross right into the heart Of
heaven. The light was more than the
shining of the sun; it was the light
which kindles suns-it was the light OF
God. He knew nothing of the pain,
death had no dominion, he had fought
the good fight. The curtains of time
were falling, the eternal life was storm
ing the fainting and falling spirit, and
Simon Peter was already absent from
the body and present with the Lord

xhS olaos Of SULPHUR.


No doubt the old-fashioned custom of
mixing bowl OF molasses with prop
or proportion Of sulphur and cream Of
tartar every spring and fall, and Of serv-
ing out ! regular ration to the family;
old and young, before breakfast for .
few days successfully, had it's usefulness
in preventing and avoiding the common
disorders of these seasons. But Ger.
tainly something like this, If not the
very same might be usefully employed
for our domestic animals. Sulphur is Q
very useful medicine, having laxative,
alternative. and diaphoretlc properties;
that is, it empties and cleanses the bow
els; it changes the character Of the &C.
cretions and BEAUTIFULLY modifies the
vital functions when given in small re-
peated doses without acting upon the
bowels; and it causes IN enlarged trans
portation, or perspirstion, through the
skin by which much impure matter Is
carried off in that way.
And these effects may frequently pre-
vent serious disease-such as blackleQ
among calves-which are more easily
prevented than cured. For the minor
ailments which trouble all sorts of do
nestle animals at this season, and chief
" those which affect the skin-such Is
irritation and congestion which cause
horses to rub off the main and tail in
efforts to relieve themselves; hidebound;
mango and lice; there Is no more safe
and useful medicine than sulphur and
no better way to give it than to mix
with twice it's bulk Of molssses and
smear it over the teeth and tongue. Or
it may be given in half ounce-doses to
. full-grown animal with as much cream
Of tartar in the morning feed or in .
bran-mash in the evening". N. II.

Steamer.
On European steamer en- route to
this country not many days ago there
was q newly married couple who at.
tracted considerable attention from the
rest of the passengers. They seemed
to be very happy, as was natural, Of
course, but already there was cloud
hanging over these young lives. Wheth.
or some one told the young man brandy
was good for seasickness, or whether
he bad only temporarily abandoned the
pernicious fluid, could not be ascer-
tanned; but the fact was that one even
ing the groom was discovered on the
upper deck feeling along the rail very
carefully, and inquiring in thick tone
OF voice If anybody had seen the door
OF his state-room. He fumbled along
vainly endeavoring to open an imagin-
airy door in the rail, when some Of the
passengers found him and offered to as.
sist him to his room.
"F-f-orgotten number, gsn1'men,
said he, "but I'll know when / see it,
anil ball right"
Not one of the crowd knew the mum.
Der, but relying on his assurance that
he should know the door, they helped
him below and halted him before the
door of room which he said was his.
The door was not locked, and so they
opened it and tumbled him in. In just
two seconds afterward he emerged
about half way between the sill and the
ceiling and landed in the middle of the
passageway in hesp while grufl
voice said: what are you doing in
my room, you drunken villan?"
Evidently he had mistaken the local..
~. The assembled crowd then .piloted
him to another door short distance
down the passage"
"No mistake this time; found him
sure, said the inebriate.
The door was locked but after few
vigorous raps it was opened and the un-
fortunate fellow precipitated himself
against it and landed in the middle of
the floor. Instantly GLORIOUS of shrilI
screams issued from the room and on
the instant N ancient maiden lady
dashed from the room and landed plump
against q fat old fellow Of the rescue
party, who sat down very suddenly
with . violence that shook the vessel
from keel to truck.
30, take him away! take him away Z"
and amid . GLORIOUS Of screams the groom
was hauled out Of the state-room and
che lady persuaded to return.
"Well, to make q long story short
they put the paralyzed young man into

them more or less violently according

disjointed explanations, withdrew to

bonnet to the trellis- work, and her bus
band, in boatman's straw hat that the
inn keeper had lent him, carved the
duck, merrily. Little Leon and No.
