For Sale.

A citizen in the western part of the
city who has house for sale, says that
he has learned more of human nature
in the last three months than in all his
life before. Nine people out of ten who
come to look at his $4,000 house have
not $40 to buy with. The same pre- por-
tion are deliberate liars. Nineteen out
of twenty want every room changed
about. Ten out of twelve 60 all through
the house and then object to the street.
Not one single woman out of the scores
who have called at the house had any
other idea than to satisfy a temporary
curiosity. One woman had every room
measured to see if her carpets would fit
and then suddenly discovered that the
house was whole block from the street
cars. Another sat for two hours and
planned how she would fix every room
and then left in huff because there
was not Methodist church on the next
corner. A third was about to leave
5000 to bind the bargain until next day
when it suddenly occurred to her that
her sister out in Pontiac might not like
the location. Out of sixty or seventy
men who called every one liked the To-
cation, thought the property cheap, and
would return next day. The citizen f.
nally got tired of such conduct, and
now when any one calls he asks:
''Do you want to look at the house or
the furniturep"
''Oh, the house, of course"
"Well, this house stands on the north
side of the street. 1t is on block IA, lot
AZ. The house is of wood. 1t is forty
rods to a church and eighty to school

Springtime.

Now has the gentle springtime come, when
on our vision first
The buxom buds of beauty into bloated bios
And when the blinking bluebird gay doth
hop from bough TO bough.
And wantonly doth warble 10 the cud-con-
suming COW.
The little lambs are loafing now upon the
And in the flush of misty morn is seen the
festive fawn;
The cunning kid begins to sprout his horns
And soon this cunning kid will be bold bad
billy-goat.
Once more again the wicked worm uprears
his ugly head,
And trails his long and lurid length o'er
grass and fowerbed;
The blatant bullfrog now begins to get bis
voice in tune,
And boom his brazcn ballads to the melan-
choly moon.
The lush and juicy bluebell too appears upon
the hill,
Likewise The lansuid lily and the darling
The pale narcissus wan and white, resumes
rudy hue,
And the vflet-haunted meadows too utterly
too-too.
The pretty little buttercup unfolds its many
charms;
The dashing dandelon's clasped in earth's
fond-clinging arms;
The pure and spotless daisy peeps, whose
modesty 'twould shock
To see the wanton roses and the crimson hoh
lyhock.
IT'S now the time when poets souls do burst
their prison-bars,
And, scorning earh and earthly things soar
upward to the stars,
And TO that Heavily place beyond, where
Cherubim do sing,
Where flowers ever bloom, and where tits al
ways gentle spring.

Henry Irving at Harvard.

A good story and one as yet unpub-
lished, was told of Henry Irving, the
actor, at a recent dinner Of Harvard al
umni at Buffalo. When the English
actor visited Boston, President and
Mrs. EXot were among the spectators
at his first performance, and in order to
do honor to the stranger, he was invited
out to Harvard, shown all the college
lions, and finally entertained at a
luncheon to which a select party of dis
tinguished dous were hidden.
"By the way, Mr.. Irving" said the
president, with a praiseworthy desire
to open the conversation upon q SUBJ
ject of general interest, "are you a
university mahP"
"No, SIR" was the actors answer:
then, as if he felt that his answer might
be taken as in some way implying dis
respect for the college and colleges in
general, he added, "but my business
manager is. ."-Harper's for Juns

A Methodist Ghost Story.


One secret of the power which at
tends the simple ministrations of the
Methodist preachers of the primitive
type was that spiritual and unseen
things were to them what they are tru-
ly, more real than the objects of mere
sense. The training Of some of these
men was favorable TO this. An illus
tration was once given by an old man
with whom used to chat in the neigh
borhood of Bosoastle. One evening,
as we sat by the iireside. referred to
the old Minister Church not far of, in a
romantic valley, and spoke of the curl
Gus, ghastly legends that fioated about
it. "Yes, SIR" said he, queer things
have been said, and queer things have
been met with, say what we may.
There was one John Warden, sir-yes,
John Warden that afterwards got to be
preacher. John Warden, sir, was a
farmers boy-a laborer, poor fellow.
The Lord touched his heart, sir, and
John Warden turned Methodist. Well,
sir, his master and all about him turn
ed upon him, and the poor boy had to
bear all sorts of persecution. One
night, as they were all sitting around
the fire in the kitchen, and many ways
had been tried to put poor John out of
temper, the master said at last: 'Relig-
ion, eh!' said he. What kind of relig-
ion hast thee got John. eh? Why,
Incest be afraid to 60 down to the
church tonight at II O clock. Religion,
eh! This was n sort of challenge,
sir, to try whether John was good
enough to be above fear. Poor John,
sir, in the simplicity of his heart,
thought the credit of his religion was
really at stake, and screwing up his
courage, he said quietly: No, / bean't
afraid to 60 to the church by night or
by day Will thee go tonight, then,
and let's see what your religion is
made OFF Yes, l will. They waited
till midnight, and John started, sir.
The farm was not far up from the val
ley. The question was now they should
know he had been to the church. A
plan was hit upon. He was to take a
large spike nail and y hammer, and to
drive the nail into the church door.
John went off with his hammer. nail,
and lantern; and he told me after
ward, years afterward when he was a
preacher-yes. sir, he never forgot it
.As 1 went down among the trees. says
John, and the wind moaned, felt a

round the church, and out went my

then felt my way to the door, put my
nail to it and gave the first blow. Ifelt
tingling all over me as the echoes
went round inside the church. They
sounded hollow. But 1 picked up cour-
age and hammered away until the nail
was long way in. Then turned and
CROPPED my way back to the farm.
They laughed at me, and said they
would 60 down in the morning to be
sure l had been there. They went
down early, and there was the nail.
But when they opened the door to see
whether it had went through, oh, how
they stared at one another! There was
the nail turned back, turned in and
clenched to the door as if the cleverest
carpenter in the world had done it. "

An intimation was given out on
Saturday that Ferdinand Ward. the
young New York speculator of the
Grant Il Ward firm, had been max.
ing preparations to fly from the
country with pockets full Of gold
when the crash came. Events trans
pired too soon for him, and he was
compelled to go to prison, leaving
81 500, 900 in gold among the assets
of the firm. It has been ascertain.
ed that a short time before the great
smashup Ward purchased from the
Van Hoffmans, Browns and other
bankers $500, 600 sterling, or about
81 10000 This money was in
hand when the break occurred. and
the question is, why was it no,
used to avert the calamity? Those
who read below the surface have

An Unsolved Mystery.

At Burkeville, Texas, in Judge
Hines yard, il well about which
there is mystery that no one has,
az yet, been able to solve, and its
solution is not likely ever to be
made upon scientific or other prin-
ciples.
Two ordinary well-buckets ofthe
same size are suspended, one at
each end of rope, which is passed
through a pulley at the top of
the curbing overhead. Of course
when one bucket is at the top or
mouth of the well, the other is at
the bottom. Once in a while
sometimes once a day, sometimes
twice a week, or probably twice a
day-the bucket at the top or mouth
of the well, will descend empty and
draw up a full bucket of water to
the top, without any physical aid.
The bucket at the top, or. rather
the descending bucket must be per-
fcctly empty. If there is the least
water in it, it will not descend.
This strange but actual occur
renee, can be vouched for by the
best citizens of Newton County,
Texas. Judge Hines is a man Of
unquestionable veracity, and any
number of the citizens of Burke
vile would make affidavit to the
truth of this statement if it was
necessary.-Robeline Reporter.
Joe Mulhattans reputation can
not be hurt by any such stories al

ing his hand.
