The Boy That Was Buried.
Madrid Correspoudeuce. I

Madrid correspondents.
In Ulea, Murcia, there was attacked
upon the 18th of July a man over
middle age, the father OF family, and
also his little boy, aged l /, called Jose
Gomez. The father died, and a few
DAYS after, at 6 in the afternoon, the
boy died also, and was carried lmme-
diately to the churchyard, at the same
time when the grave-digger was finish
ing his days toll. He viewed the last
arrival, but although thegravew was al
most filled up he threw in the dead
body and went away. Upon the next
morning, as he opened the cemetery
gate, the first thing he saw was Jose
Gomez. almost naked, Just as he was
buried, amusing himself. "Hullo :"
exclaimed the astonished grave-digger,
"who took you out OF that? ?" ''NO-
body" replied the boy, cheerfully, 81
came out myself" "Bueno good;
come here, | wish to speak to you"
Ell chico (the little one), believing that
he was to be treated to another burial,
began to run. and did not stop until
he reached his mother $ cottage, whom
he frightened out other wits, as she be
lieved he had come from the 9th
er world. "Where is your father?
was the first question put by the poor
woman. ooh, he stayed there; but
give me something to eat, mother, for
/ am very hungry" The mother broke
out into cries and lamentations, and
the neighbors crowded in and tried to
surround the chico, who fled and en-
deavored to hide himself, believing
firmly those attempts were Fremont
tory OF another funeral. In the end
he was caught and put to bed, all the
time protesting that his one malady
was hunger. So they gave him his
breakfast. and now he is the pride. OF
the village as he runs about stonlng
dogs, which, it seems, was his faVorLte
recreation before he was attacked by
cholera. The final touch in the story
is a striking instance OF the truth OF
what the poet sang: "They change
their sky, not their dispositions, who
go across the seas"

THE MILLER AND THE MAID
BY T. y. SCOTT.

Across the heath and down the hill,
A-back OF patient DObbin,
The farmers daughter rides TO MILL
And mocks the thrush and robin.
For saddle she's a sack Of grain,
She sidewisa sits and chirrUpsi
A finger in old Dobbiu's name
Is good az forty stirrups.
The miller cOmes-a merry bladei-
And dOffs bis hat and greets her
what wish you here, my pretty maid r.
GIVE brought a sack Of wheat, sir
"And have you gold to give for grist?"
Not /, we're poor, alack sir;
But take your toll-a tenth, l visit
From what is in my sack sir"
He lifts her lightly from her seat,
And laughs-a merry miller -
81 cannot take my toll in wheat
must have gold or siller.
"But since you've brought no coin nor scrip,
He smiles and foHdly eyes her
''Iu ask no toll but from your lip
One kiss who il be the wiser 2''
The maiden blushed and bowed her head,
And with her apron fingered,
And pOuted ont her lips OF red
Where countless kisses fingered.
"A single kiss 20 fshe smiled in gIee.
As who would say. a We caught yOu,')
Ny father said your toll would be
A tenth OF what I brought YOU

The Beggars' journal,

One or the most recent CuriOsities Of
literature Is new trade journal APP
pearing at Paris under the attractive
title OF Journal des Mendicants. The
sheet is full of useful information for
the begging confraternity, especially as
regards new openings for this lucrative
line OF business. Funerals as well as
marriages, are announced with great
precision OF time and place, for the
benent OF the mendiCants trading on
the benevolent prOpensities apt to de
VeiOp themselves on such occasions.
The paper Is also enriched with tempt
ing advertisements such as Wanted.

benevolent hotel keepers in French
watering places trade on the benevo,
lence OF their customers by engaging
beggars with the privilege OF mendican-
cy at their establishments on condi-
ton OF dividing the spoils with the
landlord. This is quite a new opening
for English and Scotch hotel keepers,
the latter 5 reputation for sharpness
being positively in danger of being out
done by their French confreres.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
The Old Dinner Horn,
BY JOEL swARTZ, D. D.

have heard many a strain that has thrilled me
with Joy;
But none, l viii say, since the day was born
Has pleased me so much as when a small boy
l heard, on the farm, the old dinner horn
The trumpet was tin, a yard or so long
And was blOWed for 1.-The boys" at noon and
at morn,
The monotone strain was piercing and strong
But sweet, for all that, was the old dinner
horn.
When building the fence or tossing the hay.
Or reaping the grain or blowing the corn
With appetite keen, at the noon OF the day
o, sweet to my soul was the old dinner horn
mothers fond lips pressed the trumpet of tin
And blew her full soul through the barley aud
corn.
Oh, l hear even yet the "Welcome, come in,
Come in, my dear boys, to the sound of the
hornr
Thoselips are now still, and the bosom is cold
Which sent TO us boys the blast OF the horn:
She is waiting in sleep, beneath the dark mold
The archangel's trump and eternity's morn

Pine Needles 20I

The very low absorbent power of
sand is not at all surprising, when it
is considered how few of the very mar
row capillary spaces there are be-
tween its grains, such as can hold wa
ter; a mass ofpeat, on the other hand,
is very largely made upof such spaces,
and hence its graft absorbent power.
Muck was not tested; but it would
stand between these two extremes,
and the nearer to peat the more veg
etable remains and the less sand it
contained.-NeWY York Tribune.

Absorbing Power of Stable Litter.

gricultural correspondents Of the use

lively great weight of material
must be handled in order to
supply enough to absorb all

Wollney, OF experiments made to test
the capacity OF various substances
used as litter for absorbing water.
