A NIasher Routed.

A lady, young and handsomely
dressed, entered q Woodward avenue
car and sat down opposite passenger
who had the appearance of gentleman,
but soon showed himself to be that con-
temptibe creature, a masher He took
no notes on time, but at once proceeded
to mash; he stared, ogled, smiled insinu-
atingly and made a second-class fool of
himself at sight The lady was discom-
posed. She seized her parasol and every
one present hoped she was about to mash
the masher.
But she simply raised the parasol and
spread it in his face. Under its protect
ing screen she calmly continued on her
way, but the chagrined masher got out
at the next crossing and made himself
scarce.
When he was gone the lady closed her
parasol and said: 81 haye heard of
frightening wild beasts by such weapon
opened suddenly in their faces, and 1
find it serves as good purpose with
tame ones"
The passengers all applauded. De

The RaiIroad Hog.

''Is this seat unoccupied" lady tim
idly inquired.
Her voice was not very loud. 1t did
not recall the fat man from his reverie
nor his gaze from something interesting
in the brick wall of the depot. The lady
passed on as though embarrassed at the
sound of her request.
SIS one af these seats disengaged2"
The question was asked in firm, clear
voice by a young woman, who looked
steadily into the monopolst's eyes as
though she understood him. His head
turned slowly, and he coldly replied !:
"All engaged"
Then he resumed his study of the wall
and the train moved slowly out of the
depot.
'Oofn
The excamationre exactly the
grunt of pig. 1t was made by young
man with dimple in his cheek and
twinkle in his eye, on a seat diagonally
across the aisle and behind the bald
headed man. He was absorbed in an in
teresting article in newspaper. The ex'
clamation was not noticed.
"Oof! Oof Oof"
A young lady in the seat behind the
person intended to be described by the
young man with the dimple, Uttered
aloud. The fat man with four sittiugs
stole a wicked glance at the young man
with the newspaper, and then settled
back with a determined gesture of his
head and neck as if he wasn't going to
mind it.
"Oo-oo-oof! kweek! kwe-e-eek! oofl
oofw
The passengers turned their attention
to the passenger with the four seats.
The bald spot on his head began to get
red.
"Kwe-e-eek, kwe-e-eek, kwe-e-eek /!
Oof, oof, oof, oof!"
A tittering and giggling broke out
spontaneously up and down the car.
The bald spot on the fat mans head
blazed. Then one foot was dragged
slowly off from the front seat, then the
other A hand reached out carefully
and set one valise on the floor. Then
the other valise followed.
Seat here, guess, ladies'" he
growled.
Three women threw grateful glances
at the grunter and took their seats. The
grunter, who had not lifted his eyes from
his newspaper, turned it over to continue
reading, but just at that instant the train
glided into the tunnel. .-Neto York Sun.

''Hiho, hiho, hiho hiho-o-o 600, my
beautiesl Come, Daisy-face, come,
Cloud white, come, my Tripsy-toes, and
Hobbledehoy; come, Jack and Jill, and
Glover and Buttercup. Hilla, hilla, hilla,

waggle tail, my woolly backs Where

Snap and Snorum and Flax and Flinders
and Foam"
AZ the sound of his voice few white
heads were raised among the grazing
flock in Mr.. Lynn's field; then more, and
then a commotion stirred the quiet crea-
lures. Bleating, they ran to the fence
where Jack stood, and crowded about
him, almost cambering ouer each other
in their efforts 10 reach him. But little
heed was paid to them for all were watch
ing Mr.. Green's sheep. There was stir
among them, too, for nine-tenths of the
flock, alarmed by the unknown voice cut
ting so sharply through the still air, had
turned and fled, and were budding in a
white mass in a distant corner, while
about twenty had bleated their recogni-
tion of friend, and hurrying up with a
run and jump, were also gathering close
about him. And Jack sprang down
among them, and with arms around the
neck, and face buried in the feecy back
of one of his special favorites was sob
bing as if his heart were breaking.
Mr.. Bright danced about like a school
boy, swung his hat, and pitched it high
in the air.
"Hurrahl hurrah hurrah for boys and
sheep They are the best witnesses 1
ever want. Mr.. Lynn's case is the sound
est one ever carried before a court"
''Witnessesw growled Green. "Are
you such idiots as to think this will
amount to anything in law9"
1t did amount to something in law,
however, as Mr.. Green found out when
the Judges decision was given.
AS soon as the men were gone, Mrs.
Lyon bent over Jack, whose head was
still bowed
"Jack, my boy, don't cry so. Don't
you know you have friends all around
you 2"
eyes. Look at EN-" He looked
about with smile.
''Yes, the sheep, and plenty more if
you'll have them. Oh, Jack, we're all
your friends. The loving Shepherd 1
told you of has sent us to try to do you
good. He wants you to follow him just
as the sheep come at the sound of your
voice, because they love you and you
love them. Do you want to stay here and
take care of them 2"
''Stay here, with you and the sheep ?"
Jacks eyes, beaming with JOY and graft
tude, frankly met hers.
81 think we've found the soft place at
last, " said Mrs. Lynn to herself, as she
went home, leaving him on the sunny
hillside. - Young People.

Mexican Etiquette.

was given lesson in etiquette by a
Mexican young lady met in the train,
says a correspondent. l Glanced to be
the only man in the sleeping-car when it
drew out from El PasO, and after an in
PRODUCTION by the conductor, to whose
charge the young lady had been com
mitted, she and | became quite well ac-
quainted. 81 saw you eating an orange
on the depot platform, she said I'm
Mexico that would be considered un-
mannerly. There it is unmannerly to
eat anything outside of a house, even
candy. And | noticed when Mr. Ro-
nero gave you a Mexican match you
threw it away after using but one end of
it, The other was still seryiceable, and
you should have returned the match with
your thanks. If you hand one a cigar
or cigarette to light with, you must take
a Whit from it after it has been returned
to you, though 1t may be so short as to
burn your fingers" All this received
with good grace, for my young lady was

Of death.
told him 1 thonght so. too, especially
when the dog howled under my window,
and then went aud bought shotgun.
But after that Philosopher seemed to
reform and lead a more joyous life. He
stayed home of nights, and if ne was
ever sad, he brooded mostly in silence.
One day I came home with a basket
full of crabs, and found Philosopher sit
ting in my yard with a look of mingled
curiosity and pleasure on his open
and expressive countenance. He seemed
to be glad to see me, and when l set the
basket upon the ground and turned
aside, he went up to it in an inquiring
sort of way. AS have said, he was of
very investigating turn of mind. He
would sit by hens nest half an hour,
waiting for the hen to get through lay
ing and adjourn, so that he could form
himself into committee of one and in
vestigate the proceedings. And his in
vestigation of hens nest was always
systematic and thorough.
When he saw something move in my
basket, he appeared to grow more than
usually curious. He seemed to be both
surprised and delighted that 1 had car
ried home something that was alive. He
smelled cautiously around the basket,
wagged his tail with q graceful easy mo-
sion, and then, growing more curious and
bold, he stuck his nose down among the
crabs and picked large one up. He did
not intend to pick it up so suddenly
it was all the crabs doing 1t got one of
its claws tangled somehow with Philos-
opher's nose, and then there was a sound
of revelry by day. l never before saw
a dog get so excited. He lost all con-
troll over himself His one prominent
thought seemed to be a desire to go
away somewhere and he went He went
with exceeding impetuosity. He went
as nothing had gone before, except chain
lightning, perhaps, and he took my crab
with him.
If any traveller in Europe, Asia or
Africa has seen yellow dog with part
of one ear bit off, and an expression de-
noting humble birth, with a healthy
looking crab hanging to his nose, the
traveller will receive a large assortment
of thanks by communicating with my
neighbor. But l am rather Indifferent.

Early American Coinage.

The earliest coinage that can be called
American, in the sense of Anglo -Ameri-
can, was ordered by the original Virginia
company, only five years after the found
ing of jamestown. The coins were minted
at pomers islands, now known as the
Bermudas. For a long while the stand
ard currency of Virginia was tobacco, as
in many of the early settlements of the
Northwest it was beaver skins. The Ac-
counts of the fur tradeiBsand pioneers in
their dealings with the indians were
kept In beaver skins instead of dollars
until some years after the opening of this
century, and in some parts of the Domin-
ion of Canada they are still kept so. In
1645 the assembly of the Virginia col
ony, after a preamble reciting that sit
had maturely weighed and consideredhow
advantageous quoine would be to this
colony, and the great wants and miseries
which do daily happen unto it by the
sole dependency upon tobacco, pro-
vided for the issue of copper coins of
the denomination of twopence three
pence, sixpence and ninepense; but this
law was never carried into effect so the
first colonial coinage of this country was
that struck off by Massachusetts under
the order of the general court of that
colony, passed May 27, 1865, creating
''mint howse" at Boston, and providing
for the mintage of ''12 pence, pence
and pence pieces, which shall be for
foNne tlatt, and stamped on the one side
with N. E., and on the other side with
XIId., VId., and Hid, according to the
value of each piece In 1862, from this
same mint, appeared the famous 'pine
tree shillngs," which were two-penny
pieces. This mint was maintained for
thirty-four years IN the reign of Will
liam and Mary copper coins were struck
in England for New England and Caro-
lima. Lord Baltimore had silver shil-
lings, sixpences, and fourpences made
in England to supply the demands Of
his province of Maryland. Vermont
and Connecticut established mints in
1886 for the issue of copper coin. New
Jersey followed year later But Con-
gress had the establishment of mint
for the confederated States under ad-
visement, and in this same year agreed
upon plan submitted by Thomas JEFF
ferson, and the act went into operation
on a small scale in 1881 After the
adoption Of the Constitution of the
United States in 1889 all the State
mints were closed, as the constitution
specifically places the sole power of
coming money in the Federal govern
ment.

The Story of a Love Song.

Upon one of the many hills surround
ing this old Ohio city, says a letter from
GAINESVILLE to the New York Sun, is a
beautiful homestead which overlooks the
smoky eXpanse of the town and the shin
ing course of the Muskingum river
Thirty years ago a young preacher walked
down the hill from this home heavy at
heart and weary of the world. Two
years before he had come to GAINESVILLE
fresh from the old collegian institution in
Columbus as the Rev. IL. d. L. Webster.
He soon fell in love with Ella Bloxom,
the daughter of Judge BloXom, who sang
in the choir of his church. He was priv
ileged as a pastor to call upon his fair
chorister at the home of her married sis
ter, Mrs. Henry Blandy. The young, pen
niless preacher proposed marriage TO her,
and was rejected. The refusal was given
in kind though firm manner, and the
young man persuaded himself that his
suit was denied because of his poverty
and the pride of the girls family. He
left GAINESVILLE, for he could not be at
peace where the woman he loved was
shining in society.
In 1856 he moved to Racine, and soon
afterward wrote a song and gave it to j.
p Webster, the composer. This song was
the once popular "Lorena." In it Web
ster wrote the sentiments of his heart to
the memory of the woman he had loved.
People who remember the songs of twenty
years ago will readily recall the opening
lines:
The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again.,
The SUMS low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the how'rs have
been;
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
As when the summer days were nigh.
Oh the sun can never dip so low
Adown affections cloudless SKY.
In the days of the war the song took
a firm hold on the popular fancy. Soldiers
in the camps of both armies sang the
plaintiye verses. 1t was the "Annie
Laurie of America. The name "Lor-
ena was given to all sorts of things
and the young ladies of to-day respond
TO the same musical name which senti-
mental mothers of that time bestowed
upon them.
When it became known that Webster
wrote the song many of his acquaintances
in GAINESVILLE remembered his love affair
there, and concluded at once that Ella
BloXom was the original of Lorena.
Miss BloXom was married to William w.
Johnston, a young lawyer of Ironton,
who had been educated in GAINESVILLE,
and who is now the chief justice of Ohio
and the Republican candidate for select
man. Mr.. Webster, who has drifted
about from pastorate to pastorate, was
recently stationed in Oak Grove. He
also is married, having now a wife and
several children.

Strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never viii be tomorrow
For tomorrow will prove but another -
day,
With its measure Of joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of life
With such grave and sad persistence,
And watch and wait for crowd Of ills
That as yet has no existence.
Strength for to-day-what precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neighbor.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not;
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears,
In their search for light, may fail not.
Strength for to-day, on the dewn-hill track
For the travellers near the valley
That up, far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build ffom the rise to the set Of sun
On sure and strong foundation.
Strength for to-day-in house and home
To practice forbearance sweetly-
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.
Strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never will be tomorrow,
For tomorrow will prove but another to-
day,

Dog and Crab.

Some years ago my neighbor had a
dog of an inquiring turn of mind, which
he called Philosopher when he was not
in hurry. Philosopher was in the
habit of coming over upon my premises,
and trying in various ways to win my
respect and esteem but he never sue
ceeded to any great extent Perhaps he
did not go about it in the right way He
came oft in the Silly night and sat under
my window and poured out his sorrow
10 the moon. The moon seemed to stand
it, but l couldn't. l went to my neigh
Dor with protest, but he said he could
do nothing; that he didn't like to hear
a dog howl any better than l did; but,
according divine law, that was the
only way in which dog could give ex-
preston 10 his deeper emotions, and he
thought man ought 70 try and put up
with 1t. Beside, he said. he believed

haps taking in the beauties of valley and
stream and woodland which lay below,
but finding his fill of enjoyment in the
sheep He was little seen at the house,
seeming not to eare for any human soci-
ETY., but he took long walks at his will,
from which he once brought home bird
with broken wing, and again a stray
starved kitten, both of which he carefully
tended.
"Hear himl' said Mrs Lynn, one day,
when she had gone out into the meadow
where her husband was at work 81 be-
lieve he knows every sheep there"
Jacks voice came ringing down the
hill.
"IIiho hAo hiho hiho-o-o o-o-ol !
my heautiesr Come, Daisy face, come,
Cloud-white, come, my Trigsy-toe and
Hippety-hop and Hobbldehoy. Hilla,
hilla, hol my Hop-and-skip and old
Jump-the-fencel Come with yer patter-
patter and yer wiggle- waggle, my
beauties, oh Where be you, Flax and
Flinders and Foam2 Come here, my
jolly boys, and kick up yer heels on the
grass In the mo O. corning"
He gets off some such rigmarole
whenever nc goes near Jnem, SHe Salu
and I'm sure every sheep knows him. ~
Jack staid for month among his
fleecy darlings, and when the time came
for saying goodbye to them, nobody
was near to hear him say it. He allowed
Mrs. Lynn to shake his hand as he
stepped on board the train which was
to bear him back to his home, or rather
to his homelessness, but with little re-
sponse to her kind farewells.
She had tried so faithfully to impress
him with the idea that there are plenty
in this wide world whose hearts the dear
Lord has filled with the tenderest pity
and love toward those whose paths
seemed laid in Swallowed places, that
she felt keenly disappointed in fearing
she might have entirely failed. How
ever, she remembered with comfort that
just as the last car was passing the plat
form, from which she watched it. she
had indistinctly caught sight of boys
face whose softened eyes seemed filled
with tears as he strained his eyes to gain
a last glance at her, and she believed in
her heart it was Jacks face.
