Following Nature

The Mirror and Farmer makes tine follow
ing sensible comments on tho paragraph found
below
There seems to be mania Of late years,
among those who lay claim TO culture, to
initiate nature in It's most uncouth guises
The Ploughmar says
"Near the house should be pfoups Of shrubs and
flowers, and outside OF these should be the shade
trees; not arranged in stiff straight rows, all OF one
should be set without order, nature sets them and
a variety Of trees should be interminsed with each
other This relieves the eye and to every lover Of
ture looks far more beautiful than stih formally
This may be all right and probably is where
the Ploughman is published but it must be
remembered that in many cases what is il
good taste in the city is in bad taste IL the
country, and the reverse. In q city, where
streets and buildings are stiff and angular and
mechanical, little careless grouping is a re-
lief. A pile of rocks in the front yard may
do well in the city, but would be a constant
eyesore till 1t was removed in country gar
den. An approach to nature in the irregular
arrangement and sorting of trees may do well
in the city for q variety, but in the country,
where everything is intensely natural straight
rows and even tops, and a proper selection of
the best varieties for the purpose, show the
same dlSpgNt.On aud SIC that careless group
ing does IL die CRY. Who can rid5 by a couu-

Some Streaks Of Moonshine

The Rev. DR.. Willis, of Louisville,
KY, has been lecturing on the illusions
OF moonshine, in which he tells some
truths and gets off some anecdotes:
The true mission of wit and humor
is to be the spice Of sensible talk. An
old preacher delivered a number of ser
mons on Jonah, and even made that
dry subject. Said parishioner: IF
the whale was as sick as | am, don't
wonder it threw him up Moonshine
is Used to express illusiveness. Illusions
attach themselves to every passion, to
every faculty Of the mind, TO the senses
of the body, and to all periods of our
lives. An old gentleman was with great
difficulty persuaded by his nephew to
ride for the first time on the steam
cars. In the car the old man and the
young one were separated. Presently
they came to a tunnel, about which the
nephew had forgotten to tell his uncle.
When they emerged from the darkness
the old gentleman was grouping his way
through the aisle, with his eyes tightly
closed and crying out: "John, John,
am struck blind. struck blindr' Once,
when the doctor himself had bird
stuffing craze, he looked into window
where he saw a stuffed OWL He SAID to
himself: 1.-The wings are much too low,
the pose is not life-like, and the eyes are
at least third too large" Just then the
owl turned its head and winked at the
speaker as if to assent to all that was
said.
Another class of illusionsts consists or
the dear old croakers who are always
complaining of the degeneracy of the
times. In that good old-fashioned time
they continually talk about people spent
half an hour trying to light the fire on a
cold winter morning, and often did not
succeed. In that good old time the ex-
press train came into town and an
nounced its arrival by blowing horn,
and it came on horseback. Then men
were blistereG and bled and cupped, and
when they had fever could not have
even drink of wvter, unless they got it
by fitting up the bucket when the nurse
was asleep. Now they can even have
ice. Oh, what glorious luxury to have
mouthful Of ice while in fever. The
fever is not luxury, but the ice.

CIV conductor, land that is all the pro-
fessional tramps in this country tied
down to the rails right in front of the

Whats the matter with you and the
tramps, now?"
Matter enough. The other day, down
near Galesburg, passenger pulled the
bcll-rope and stopped the train. He said
he had seen the body of man by the
side Of the track. We pulled back
Always, and, sure enough, in the di CHI lay

examined him. Then he showed signs
Of life Then we carried him into the
baggage car and fixed him up bed for
him. Pretty soon he opened his eyes and
gasped: 'Fell-off train. Badly hurt. ;
There was doctor on the train, and he
said the fellow was injured internally,
probably fatally. He prescribed stimu-
lants. So we skirmished around and got
bottle or two of whisky. He drank it
like water, all the time rolling his ewes
and groaning. He emptied that bottle
and asked for more. The kind hearted
baggageman brought quart flask out of
his chest and told us to give him some of
that. When we pulled into Galesburg
he was sleeping, and was afraid dying.
The baggageman went to lunch and / to
