A Pretty Story.

A very tough story which is vouched
for, after fashion, is going the rounds
and given for what it is worth. 1t is
related that Mr.. s. M was sit
ting in bis backyard talking to some
friends, when his attention was called to
a hen with a brood of young chickens
and large rat that had emerged from
its hole, and was quietly regarding the
young, chickehs with the prospect of a
meal In view. As the rat came from
its hole the house cat awoke from her
afternoon nap and caught sight of the
rat. CTouching low, she waited devel-
opements, and stood prepared to spring
upon his ratship. At the appearance of
his ancient enemy, the cat, the Scotch
terrier, which had been summing itself in
the woodshed, pricked up its ears and
quietly made for the place where the cat
stood. At this moment boy came upon
the scene. The chickens were not cog
INFANT of being watched by the rat, nor
did the rat see the cat, nor the feline the
dog, who had not noticed the coming of
the boy. A little chick wandered too
nigh and he was seized by the rat, which
was in turn pounced upon by the cat.
and the cat was caught in the mouth by
the dog. The rat would not cease his
hold upon on the chicken, and the cat,
in spite of the shaking she was getting
from the dog, did not let go the rat. 1t
was fun for the boy, and in high glee he
watched the contest and the struggle of
the victims. 1t seemed to him that the
rat was about to escape after time, and
getting a stone he hurled it at the rodant.
The aim was not good, and the stone
struck the dog right between the eyes.
The terrier released its grip on the cat
and fell over dead. 1t had breathed its
last before the cat in turn let go the rat
and turned over and died. The rat did
not long survive the enemy, and beside
the already dead chicken he laid himself
down and gave up the ghost. The owner

Franklin's Great-GrandsOns.
TWO AGED BROTHERS MEET AFTER FORTY
YEARS SEPARATION.

A Louisville letter, says: Mr.. Will
liam Bache, of Philadelphia, arrived in
Louisville, KY, on visit to relatives.
He is brother of Mr.. Lewis Bache.
The two brothers were born in Philadei-
phia and are reat-grandsons of Benia-
min Franklin. Mr.. Lewis Bache is
eighty years old and Mr. William Bache
is seventy-five, though they are both
hale and hearty and look many years
younger. The latter is printer by pro-
fession and has followed the business
all his life. AT the age of twenty-one
he was elected Public Printer of Penn
sylvania and took charge of the office at
Harrisburg, which he held for several
years. Fifty-four years ago the two
brothers separated at Pottsville, Pa.
Lewis went to Sandusky, Ohio, thence
to Columbus, Ohio, whence he came to
this city forty-seven years ago. They
lost sight of each other few years there
after. Finally each concluded that tho
other was dead. A year ago chance
paragraph in newspaper caused the
Louisville branch of the family to inves
tigate the matter, and the result was the
discovery that Mr. William Bache was
still living in Philadelphia. The meet
ing between the old men was very
hearty, and their unfeigned affection for
each other was demonstrated in a man
ner that was very affecting. The visitor
will remain several weeks.

MY OLD HOME.
II stands upon a sunny slnna

1t stands upon sunny slope,
And fronts the beechy no, low
Where glossy vines have ample scope
The wsnton brook to follow;
Wltch-hszels drop their magic wands
In search of golden treasure;
And, lying in the silent ponds,
TIE trout find quiet pleasure
The oxen turn their patient eyes
Upon me; the bay FLY
Neighs softly in her glad surprise;
The tender lambs are chilly,
Aad nestle in my apron wide,
The apple blooms are sitting
In eddies on the sughing tide,
To yonder river drifting.
Tho snowy dogwood stars the copss,
Ferns nod in fropded beauty,
The violet has modest hopes
To pay her fragrant duty,
The arum darts mottled tonguo
To Indiau-pipe, and yying
With every flower the muse has sung
Arbatus pale is signing.

London Horse Car Drivers.

Men who know little about horses,
and of intelligence and integrity suffi-
cient to act as tramway guards, must be
a good deal more plentiful in the labor
market than domestic servants are, or
they would not be called upon to slave
through such terribly long hours. 1t
seems to be perfectly well authenti-
Gated fact that the London tramcar
drivers are often compelled, week in, and
week out, to be on duty for sixteen
hours day, with no interruption of the
toll on Sundays, exposed to all sorts of
weather, and allowed no regular hours
for their meals. This is white slavery.
indeed, and it is hardly wonderful that
an agitation has sprung up on the sub
ject, which, it may be hoped, will
touch the consclences If it does not melt
the hearts of the directors of the tram
way companies. As to the neglect of
an. 80 I2uaesl hours, the truth
= every spassen-
street cofhef, Where no passenger is to
be set down or taken up. A bright
child who he's been waiting will dart
from the pavement, needing her way
through the street traffic, and, with q
smile of recognition, hand little bundle
to the driver or guard. During the rest
of the journey the poor man will be seen
munching the food thus provided for
him. The tram-car drivers are re-
markedly patient and, considering all
they have to bear, wonderfully good
tempered class of men. 1t is pity that
the market for their labor should be so
completely overstocked that the strike
which has been recommended would be
absolute folly. Domestic servants, on
the other hand, seem to be difficult to
procure. One of the agencies advertises
a reward of gold watch to every girl
hired through their office who can be in
duced to stay in her place for two years.
