An Honest Verdict.
TSan Francisco Post |

A man met girl in a lonely place and
forcibly kissed her. She was terribly in
dignant and had him arrested. She gave
an account on the witness stand of how he
gazed at her intently, and then, throwing
his arms around her, imprinted kiss upon
her lips. The prisoner made no defense,
and the jury was expected to promptly
convict him of assault. They returned to
the courtroom.
"The ju-jujury w-would like to ask the
young lady two questions" the foreman
said
The judge consented and she went ON
the stand.
"D-d-did you wear the j-j-jersey that
yous got on now?"
"Yes, sir" was the demure reply.
"And w-w-was your ha-ha-hair banged
like that?"
Eyes, sir"
Then, your honor, we acquit the PIP
prisoner on the ground of unconditional

EXILED.

Old Irish Air-"I Shdu LedUe this Country"
lam leaving this country with merry, merry
heart;
Hard mother she has been many year unto
And choke down the tear that was ready to
start,
And dance like q child that is free.
| turn my eyes away from the skies so gray,
From the weariness the hunger, and the cruel,
cruel pain;
Oh, I'm glad the day is done, that have watched
the last red sun,
And I'll meier see old Ireland again,
And vet az stand at my own cabin door,
My children all playing ol the turf so green,
feel my eyes are wet to think they'll soon for-
get
The graves lying lonely where no foot has
been.
And my heart is sad to go from the lard know
To the country that know not, where is pleas
ure and not pain;
And kiss the blessed sod, and | lift my prayer
to God
May see dear old Ireland again

What Ruined Him.
wall Street News

One remarked that he had been ruined
in Wall street-another was busted in oil
"a third was cleaned out on wheat, and so
it went around to the old man, who slowly
observed:
Gentlemen, the Quarter-Master General
of the Army in 1868 busted me-"
''How ?" asked half dozen voices.
well, l wanted to introduced cheese as
ration, and drought such influence to
bear that the Quartermaster finally agreed
to make contract with me. went to
buying cheese, of course, and didn't stop
until had invested every dollar / could
raise, and bought to the limit of my credit
1t was all nice new cheese"
"Well?n
well, he wouldn't take pound of it,"
"Why?"
Because he wanted old cheese, you see,
he wanted something which could be
driven right along with the army, and
thus save the cost of transportation

THE VOYAGER.

High DER darI, Earth red in the glow,
Hangs a bright bubble, strangely poised In
air
And now its silken bulk with motion slow
Through the broad west the solemn night
winds bear.
The dusk draws on, strain my eyes to meet
On purple skies that fragile ship af1oat;
Brief guest that gliding steers. ghost-like and
fleet,
Past the great mountains upheaved rim re-
mote
Who, silent, far, sails the high seas above?
What lure seeks earth-born man in ether vast?
Unpiloted, through baseless night to rove
With life upon the empty spaces cast?
All +! vagrant sailor of the upper air,
l. too my little all have set adrift
We know guest, but how our barks shall
fare
Who knows? or on what skies our morning

Shawl Writing.

the Indian museum, South Kensington,
London, to put up in place where it can
be conveniently read. DR.. Leitner's key to
shawl writing, as furnishing some clue to
the full meaning of the shawls shown in
that exhibition. DR.. Leitner was the dis
coverer in 1872 of the secret of the Ian
guage of the weavers of Cashmere, and he
has described the numerals and names of
colOrs used in the manufacture of shawls
at some length. The subject is of consider
able interest in connection with the decay
of what used to be one of the most flourish
ing industries in Northwestern India.

VALUE OF A SHOE.
How CObbler Form ed His Estimates :
of Character.

Ies, sir, they beat palmstry all hollow.
lake yourself, for instance in YOUR shoe 7
see vaclllatlOp, irresolution, fickleness. a
tendency toward negligence or evasion of
unpleasant duties, occasional spells of mo-
roseness. Show me any PERSONS foot cover
ing after two months wear, or often less
than that, and l will tell you that persons
character. If both heel and sole are
evenly worn level the wearer is clear
headed decisive and resolute, good busi-
ness man, valuable and trusted employe,
or an excellent wife and mother. If the
outside sole is cut through, the wearer, if
man, Is inclined to be adventurous, unre-
liable and spasmOdic in his acts if
woman, she IS predispOSed to boldneSs and
wayWard tendencies. If the inside of the
sole Is cut through, it indicates weakness
and vaclllatlon in man and modesty in
woman.
A few months ago there came into my
shop stranger having pair of shoes
with the outside of the soes worn through
and the toe somewhat cut while the heel
was nearly as good as new. l said to my
wife after he went away, That mans a
sneak, and so he was. The very next day
boy came up from the police station to
get the shoes, and said the wearer had
been arrested on a clear case of sneak
thieving.
"A certain young man who has patron
lied me for years was keeping company
with two young girls, also customers Of
mine. | noticed that one of them wore
out her shoes on the outside of the sole
first, while the other stepped squarely and
| wore 6nxU,, hnfh Shnoc alba Itxa olxuoyc
had liking for the young fellow, and
knowing that he was wavering between
| the two girls, l took him aside one day
and showed him the shoes of his flames
and told him what l have told you. The
result was that he married the square
stopper and was happy, while the other
girl disgraced herself.
II can also tell something of persons
tendencies by the size of his shoe, the
breadth of the sole, The condition of the
buttons or strings, the amount of wear on
the toe, the condition of the lining, etc. /
would not advise friend TO marry girl
who squeezes No. foot into No. 2
shoe, for such one is apt to prove vain,
affected and frivolous
do / believe that character can be
nodded by keeping the shoes properly
soled and heeled? Well, it has its in
auence. The gait of person is as closly
connected with his disposition as the ex-
preston of his cOuntenance, though not so
easily read by most persons. To continue
the wearing of a shoe that runs over badly
only tends to confirm the habit in the per-
sons walk.
Your Job is done, sir Sorry 1 couldn't
give you better character, but truth is
truth, and / never fiatter."

room, and John and his mother were with
me.
John persisted in claiming me, and /,
knowing nothing of law, except that it
would be difficult to prove my case, could
do nothing but submit.
1t was not 80 easy to get divorce then
as now l tried to die, but couldn't, and
finally gave up fighting fate, and turned
to stone or ice, or some other equally hard
and cold substance. l wrote to Louis
terrible letter, and, for fear he would plead
and make it harder for me, made it ap-
pear l had willingly given him up to marry
another. What must he have thought of
me? l returned the ring. and then settled
down to living death. We moved to the
woods of Vermont John chopped wood,
and drank and swore.
We had two boys, who grew up just like
their father. / ceased to suffer; | merely
breathed and worked.
At last John was killed by the fall of
tree one of the boys ran away to sea- and
one got killed in fight. l was left alone.
l sold the Verment place, and came here to
be alone, and take care of myself in a
quiet, respectable manner. Did 1 ever see
Louis again Yes; once, he came up to
our very door, and asked for drink of
water, as he was going by on horseback.
We recognized each other at once. He
gave me one reproachful glance, and, with
out waiting for the water, rode away. After
that saw him in handsome sleigh with
lovely lady and little girl-his family, l
suppose"
Mrs. Benton ended with sigh, and then
added:
"Have l tired you? Your friends are
Just coming up."
Tired me No, indeed. Thank you for
the story" and impulsively kissed her, as
l hastily d0nned my hat, for Bert was CALI
ing Lila !" at the top of his voice.
Mrs Benton still stood in the door when
had got into the boat and looked back.
"Are you better, DEAR" asked aunt Lizzie.
Much BETTER" replied.
We rowed out of sight, but whenever l
think of Lake George, | hear again the
strange, true story. DEL.

Singing Sands.

Washington Dispatch to New York Sum-
The superintendents of the various life
saving stations have been instructed to fur
nish, for scientific purposes, samples of the
so-called singing sands" wherever found.
These sands get their name from the pecu-
liar sound, resembling somewhat the bark
ing of dog, which they give forth when
walked upon or disturbed in any way.
This property is possessed only by dry
sand found between the water line and ex-
treme high tide-marks along the seacoast
and on the shores of the great lakes. Al
ready twenty-six samples of this sort OF
sand have been receive indicating that
it's existence in as many different localities
in this country. Heretofore these singing
beaches have been known to exist in only
two places, one in this country and the
other in Europe.

IN THE OLD BARN.

Tpon the old barns scaffold high,
With dreamy gaze on fragrant bed
I watch the swallows come and go
With twittering notes above my head.
without upon my the half shut door,
The Phoebe sits in silent mood,
Prospecting for place to build
Her nest and rear her quiet brood.
The hens upon the seedy floor
Are scratching for the scattered grain;
while chaticleer a challenge hears,
And answers back in deafening strain.
Old Charley in the stall below
Keeps grinding at the clover,
.nd tries with many an angry stamp
To drive the saucy flies away.
p,,t bark a pleasant sound hear,
of children coming down the lane
And now they strive with flying feet
To see who first the barn will gain.
A push of laughter greets my ears,
As up the ladder 1.-the and gay,
Tbey come to seek for hidden eggs,
And frolic on the fragrant hay.
The little rogues are wild with joy,
At finding fathers hiding-place,
And Thus NV pleasant day-dreaIn ends.
With smothering kiss and fond embrace.

FLOWERS OF WINTER.

In summer days when passing by
A garden hedge of roses,
| said, "Ah mel the winter drear
No bloom like this disclosesw
But winter came; and when the wind
All frosty, keen was blowing,
met each morn little maid,
With cheeks so fondly glowing.
/ said, "Why! here again l find
The roses 1 lamented
And summer flowers no more regret,
With winters bloom contented."

Assigning Lessons.

There IS much more 70 be gained or
lost by the manner Of assigning lessons
than many young teachers may suppose.
Too much care can not be taken in this
matter. Let teacher appear careless
ia announcing the extent " lesson and
almost invariably the class wilt prove
careless in preparing that lesson. Be-
fure assigning IA lesson the teacher should
carefully consider the nature Of
the subject matter and the ability Of the
class and avoid giving either too long
or too short lesson Make the lesson
too long and you at once discourage the
class and render it necessary TO assign
the same lesson for another day; or
make The lesson too short and you there
by tempt the class 70 be idle in tho
thought that the lesson is So
short they can learn il
in a few moments and as q general
thing a lesson is as often poorly learned
on account of its being too short as from
It's being too long.
Having determined the extent OF the
lesson announce il once, and only once,
20 the entire class. Never assign a les
son until you have the attention of the
Whole class. In approaching q new
subject take a few minutes to explain
any difficult points. A few words of
explanation at that time viii often save
YOU the annoyance Of numerous 0uss-
tons from individual memusrs OF the
class. Be explicit and exact IN assign
ing the lesson. Be sure that the class
understands Just what they are 70 do,
and as we hive said, announce the les
son once and only once. It's a pJOr
indication for both teacher and pupil To-
have TO announce the lessons 8 second
time The interest Of the class should
be awakened by the teacher IN such a
manner that they win ali remember ths
exact extent Of the lessons from one day
to the next.
And above all avoid the demoralizin g
influence that follows the .habii 81 tell
ing the class 10 commence where you
quit today and take Is far IS yuu caG. .
