sors believe that each other was deaf and
how they talked loud to each other, and
l thought if such joke was all right in
college where they turned out young
preachers, it would do at our house, so
l told ma she better tell pa to talk loud
enough, or the preacher couldn't hear
him. You see didn't lie, but ma went
and told pa the minister was deaf as a
post and he would have to yell bloody
murder to make him hear. l don't think
it was right for ma to say that, cause 1
didn't tell her the minister was deaf, but
pa said he hadn't spoken at ward
caucuses for nothing, and he would
make the preacher hear or talk the top
of his head off. brought the minister's
satchel over from the house where he
had been stopping, and he came along
with me, and l asked him how his voice
was, and he said it was all right and
told him he would have use for it if he
talked with pa much. He asked me II
pa was deaf, but l wouldn't lie, and all
said was if the minister would yell as
loud as he did when he got excited
in preaching, pa would hear the
most of what he said. Oh, he said
he guessed he wouldn't have any
trouble making pa near. Well, l
ushered him in the parlor, and they
shook hands and skipped up stairs, just
as pa swelled out his chest and took a
long breath and shouted Glad to see
your Well, you'd dide. 1t seemed as
though his voice would knock the new
minister's ear off, but the minister braced
himself, inflated his lungs, and shouted,
The happiness is mutual, assure you,
and then they both coughed, cause !
guess it strained their lungs some. Ma
was leaning over the banisters, and when
pa would roar at the minister, ma would
laugh, and when the minister would roar
back at pa, 1 would laugh. Pa seemed
to think the minister talked loud, and
the minister thought the same, and they
was having it pretty loud, you bet.
They talked about relidgin, and politics,
and everything, and pa mopped his
bald head with his handkerchief, and
the minister got red in the face
and finally pa told the minister
he need not yell loud enough tc
loosen the shingles, as he wasn't deaf,
and the minister said he wasn't deaf, and
pa needn't yell like a maniac, and ther
pa, said he was another, and the minis
ter said pa was worldly minded son Of
Belial, and then ma she see it was time
to stop it, and she went down stairs on
hop, skip and jump, and told them botf
that there was mistake, and that nobody
was deaf, and then the minister said ht
understood from pas little boy that his
pa was hard of hearing, and pa sent fol
me, but l was scarce. Don't you think {
boy shows good sense, sometimes, in no
being very plenty around when they
yearn for him7 Sometimes l am nu-
merous, and then again l am about a.
few as any of the boys. Well, there wal
no harm done, but pa and the minister
have their opinion of each other. ."-Peck'

ILLUSIONS.

When youths illusions vanish with the pesA
We miss our infant measure Of the vast
A single footstep fords the shallow tide
OF yon small brook we thought SO deep an4
wide.
The endless meadow endless rolls no more,
Its sheeted daisies have their bound and shore
We seek the hilltop once our highest goal,
And sigh to find it but common knoll
How large the berries when ourselves were
small,
How tall the clover when we were not tall.
The very shadows by the roadside flung,
Were broader, cooler then-fOr we ware
young
'Tis thus illusions narrow to the gaze,
Diminishing with mans increase Of days
'Tis thus that from the daybreak Of his youth
Insensibly he finds the paths of truth.

Treatment of Dog. Bites.

Mr.. t. NJ Dolan, the author OF a stand
dard work on hydrophobla, has drawn up
the following simple remedies for the i'm
mediate treatment of dOg-bites: "The
bite of healthy dog cannot cause hydro
phobia. This is well~established fact.
As it is difficult to determine the state OF
health of dog at the time he bites, the
wound should be treated as if the dog
were rabid. Dog-bites should be treated
at once by the person bitten or by by.
stander, by sucking the wound if posi-
BILE; enlarging the wound with penknife
to encourage bleeding; by hot water TO-
mentation; by free washing with cold
water; by ligature, piece of string tied
between wound and heart After bleed
ing has been encouraged and the wound
has been well washed apply hot iron-as
a heated penknife, small key, etc.
tics, pure nitric, sulphuric orhydrochloric
acid, nitrate of silver, acetic acid, carbolio
acid, ammonia, salt, or piece of hot Gin
der. If near a chemists the person bit
ten should run there, keeping his mouth
applied to the wound, if possible, and
splitting out the blood extracted. If near
a medical mans house, run there at once.
If in part where the person bitten can
not apply his mouth, some bystandeI
should suck the wound-no harm can fol.
low from thus lending assistance. The
dog inficting the bite should be kept un-
der observation for at least fourteen days.
1t will soon be seen whether it is healthy
or not. If healthy, there is no fear of fu.
ture development of hydrophobia. If
the person bitten experiences shooting
pain up the arms or other parts of the
body, three or four Turkish baths should
be taken. If the person bitten is nervous.
he should place himself under the care OF

all parts of the country, and / am glad tC
say that those bitten have not experienced
any after symptoms. London Era.

SUMMER CHANGES.

Bang the lily, and sang the rose,
Out Of the heauhyof my garden close,
"Oh, 1oyi Oh, Joy Of the summer tideT
Sang the wind, ms it moved above them,
s'Roses were sent for the sun TO love them,
Dear little buds in the leaves that hidel"
Sang the trees, as they rustled together,
"Oh, the Joy Of the summer weather
Roses and lilies how do you faref"
Sang the red rose, and sang the white:
"Glad we are Of the suns large light,
And the songs Of birds that dart through
the air."
Lily and rose, and tall green trees,
5waying boughs where the bright birds nestle,
Thrilled by music and thrilled by wings
How glad they were on that summer dayl
Little they thought of cold skies and gray,
And the dreary dirge that a storm-wind
sings.
Golden butterflies CLEAN in the sun,
Laugh at the flowers, and kiss each one,
And great bees come with their sleepy
tune,
To sip the honey and circle round,
And the flowers are lulled by that drowsy
sound,
And fall asleep in the heart of the noon.
A Emall white cloud in a sky of blue,
Roses and lilies, what will they dol
For wind springs up and sings In the
treesl
Down comes the rain-the gardens awake,
Roses and lilies begin to quake,
That were rocked to sleep by the gentle
breeze.
Ah, roses and lilies each delicate petal
The wind and the rain with fear unsettle;
This way and that way the tall trees
sway,
But the wind goes by, and the rain stops soon,
And smiles again the face Of the noon,
And the flowers are glad in the suns
warm ray.
Sing, my lilies, and sing, my roses,
With never dream that the summer closes;
But the trees are old, and fancy they
tell,
Each unto each, how tho summer flies;
They remember the last years yintry skies,
But that summer returns the trees
know well.

Patience.

"Don't scold, my DEAR" said young
doctor to his wife, who was making home
happy at the rate of forty miles an hour.
"Why shouldn't l scold, I'd like to
know2 You don't give me anything
want, and 1 have to skimp along like a
pauper."
~ know, my dear, that we are not
rich; but after awhile our luck will
change and we will have everything we
want. You must learn to have pa
tience."
Don't preach what you don't prac.
tice. If you'd learn to have patients,
we would soon be out of our trouble, .

of feeling that she stopped over at the
eyes. Merchant Traveller.

A Terrible Disaster.

An explosion Of fireGamp occurred at the
mines Of the Youngstown Coke Company. about
four miles from Uniontown, Pa, between B
and o'clock on the evening of the 9th ult
The Fire Inspector made his rounds in the
morning, as usual, and discovered no signs of
gas. At 4 O'Clock in the afternoon the day
force was relieved by the night hands, and
about 20 minutes after they commenced work
an explosion occurred, which shattered the
windows for mile around, and FIVE minutes
later there was a second report, Immediately
after which flames burst forth from the OPEN
ings, blocking up the avenues of entrance. The
news of the disaster spread quickly, and the
friends and relatives of the doomed miners
gathered around the mouth of the mine, but
fierce flames prevented any attempt ut rescue.
After hours of work, however, the flames were
subducd sufficiently to allow descent by way
OF the air shaft and seven men were taken
out. two of whom were dead and FIVE more or
less injured. The work continued during the
night, and by morning ID more dead. bodies
were taken out, completing the list of the 81
men who entered the mine tho evening before.
The scenes at the mouth of the mine rs the
mutiiated bodies Of the dead We're brought to
the surface and taken possession of by their
wives and relatives were heartrending in the
extreme. The miners claim that th, company
is to blame for the calamity, as competent
inspector was discharged some time ago aud re-
placed by man who was unable to determine
whether the mine was safe or not.

A Burned Steamer.

The terrible anxiety felt by the relatives

which was seen burning some hundreds of miles
out in the Atlantic last week, was relieved on
the 31st ult, when the Rhein steamed into
New York, carrying all the passengers and
crew Of the Inflated vessel. Speaking of the
accident, Capt. Vanderzce, of the Maasdam,
said: We had eight cabin and 1873 Storage
passengers and a crew of 40 men. For several
days prior to Oct. "a complaints had been made
to me that the oil tank, situated under the
bridge on the upper deck, was leaking. On the
morning of that day one of my seamen went
with light into the oil room to make an ex-
animation. moment afterward we heard an
explosion, and the sailor, with burned face and
beard, rushed back to the deck cryiza Fire y

at the time. The passengers created little or
no confusion. / think they were too much

The New York end of the Bennett Mackay
ocean cable was placed on the Brooklyn bridge
on the 30th ult When in proper position it
VIII be suspended on hooks underneath the
promenade. This will prevent its being ex-
posed to tho sun. The portion of the cable
resting on the bridge will be 3,400 feet in
length and will weigh $1,000 pounds. The
Bennett Mackay Cable Co. will pay the
bridge trustees $3.50 year for the privi-
lege of running their cable over the
bridge. The charge is $50 year for each
wire that runs on the bridge. The Commercial
Cable Co. have four wires in one cable, which
would come to 500 at the regular rate. but on
account of the increased weight of the rope
over the ordinary cable, caused by the heavy
coating used, they are charged more-about
double the usual rate. The Bennett Mackay
Co. originally intended to place their cables
under the river, but the engineers advised
them to use the bridge instead, because the
cables would be so much better protected on it..
The bridge receives about $500 per annum
for carrying the wires that have been run

to take to the roof. A rope was thrown him
from a building opposite, which he made fast,
and commenced to descend, while the firemen
held heavy tarpauiin beneath. Suddenly the
rope snapped and he fell head foremost to the
ground, going directly through the tarpaulin.

The Beatty Organ aud Piano Co.
WONDERFUL BUSINESS REJUvENATED AN
From Frank Ieslie'S Illustrated Ne,Dsn1n

From FrGnk Leslie's Illustrated Ne,csp1pe-.J
The name of Daniel +. Beatty, of Washing
ton, N. j., is tO'erably well known to the
majority of the people of the United States in
connection with the manufacture and sale of
musical Instruments BY liberal and wide
spread advertising, and by dealing direct with
the PURCHASER, he built up q most extensive
business in orrans and pianos. 1t was his am
bition to erect and own the largest organ factory
in the world and he succeeG-, i'll so doing.
But the hindrance and losses incident to dis
astrous fire in 1881, and the want of adequate
capital, combined with lack Of business meth
DDS. led to a serious ENHANCEMENT in his affairs
Although he made and sold over seventeen
thousand $4,000 organs last year. his embar-
easements, which dated their origin years be-
fore, became so serious that he finally sold his
business to q corporation composed Of his
creditors. 1t is understood that this company,
good as far as possible all the obligations of Mr..
Beatty, giving preferences to the purchasers of
organs and pianos whose goods are still unde-
livered, and to whom it is shipping daily their
instruments The company is under the pres-
dency Of Mr. i. w. England, of New York, his
manager being Mr.. w. p. Hadwen, and the
gentlemen composing the directors and stock
holders are among the best known and most
responsible business men in the country. All
new orders, we are assured, are filled on receipt
with instruments of the best quality while
arrearages are being manufactured and shipped
at rate of no less than 100 a week. On such
a basis, supplying superior article at a mod
crate price, free of agents commissions the
new concern ought to achieve great success.
