The Work Of a Song.

remember going to the Great
Exhibition in London, in 1862, and
in the Roman room there was one
particular piece Of sculpture which
| liked to see; but it was not easy
to get year it, as there were so
many that wanted to see it. 1t was
really an American work, that is, it
was done by American fingers,
though it was in the Roman room,
because it was carved in Rome. 1t
was called-"List, oh, listn'
The story was that a number of
red men had made a raid in the
United States, and had burned a
village and tcmahawkcd many a
poor creature, and slain and quar-
tered more. And then they stole
little white maid. [ need not
tell you how the poor mothers
heart was broken when she had
lost her child; and there WAS no
day, no month, and no year, butshe
was pursuing the question, "Where
can | find my lost chlltl!" At last,
after many years had passed, re-
port reached her, ':There is white
maiden among the red people yon-
der, nearly thousand miles away"
There was no rail, no road; but off
set the mother, and she went over
prairie and marsh, and moor and
river, and at last, after many toll
some day, she arrived where the
white maiden was.
She thought, sob, that is ny
child!n The face was much alter
ed; it had become Indianized. There
was the mark that the child had
come from the white race; but it
vas Indianized. It's language vas
new, and the maiden had quite for
gotten her mother. All her love
now was given to the red squaw of
the woods that had brought her up.
When the mother tried to so near,
the young woman repulsed her;
and the poor heart broken mother
knew not what to do.
At last, a good thought struck
her. She sat down and began to
sing sweet lullaby song that she
had always sung her little one to
sleep with. At firstSho listened list
leSsly; but in a little while (you
know how an old tune will fetch up
Il thought) the maiden began to
listen, and she stood as if all
her soul had got into her ears
1t wasin thatattitude thatthe sculp-
tor carved her-listening; and the
story went on to say that, after a
little listening, it seemed as if the
lullaby had unlocked the cells of old
memory, and in a little while that
poor maiden was in her mothers
embrace.
All, friends, let the melodious
song of Christ's love and atone
meut for your sins speak to your
hearts, awakening in them the
long-forgotten melodies Of Gods
love! Let your Saviour WOO and
win you back, that there may he
10y i'll your fathers house.-Rev. S.

How Is Your Backbone?

When a person compliments an.
other by saying he has a good deal
of "back bonen he comes very near
stating scientific truth without
knowing it perhaps. AT least, so
remarked a naval medical officer TO
the Washington Star the other day,
aS the latter stopped to chat in the
room of the Naval Examining
Board. "Stcp up here moment,"
continued the officer TO meas.

ner of the room. This rod, besides
having the movable arms with
which Il mans height is gauged,
had another intermediate arm he.
low, by which the length of his legs
is determined. The difference be
tween these measurements, Of
course, shows the length of his
holy and head. There" said the
o.hcer, after the reporter had sub
j~ctel himself to the measuring
!.roceSS. ''yOu are sixty nine and
five eighth inches tall, your legs are

well, that is one circumstance
to be considered with others, Of
course. The man with backbone is
APT to have greater power ofresist-
ance. He can endure more toll and
can resist disease longer. Why,
there are no men in the war so good
for long march as your duck-leg
ged fellows with long bodies. The
long legged men could not Standit."
There was a case here not long
ago" continued the officer, (which
would indicate that Il mans back

Ills general character. An officer,
who was examined for promotion,
was found to be physically, mental.

became habit, and gradually
affected his intellectual powers.
His mind being weakened, his
morals were soon undermined. All

italian woman with face as brown as
walnut and eyes like those of mind-reader.
She is fat and oily and many years ago must
have been beauty, while he is in middle
life and not handsome They ran an ice
cream joint on Market street, and he
wanted her to marry him. She said he was
too giddy and then they quarrelled. AS an
upshot of the row she attempted to remove
stove which they both claimed, where
upon he whipped her. 1t cost him ten
bills.
The next case of interest was that of
John and Louisa Rohman. They were
man and wife, and he carried a CHASTITY cut
in the temple as a reminder of their marital
infelicity. Tuesday they had des-
perate fight over the management of his
stepsons, in the course OF which he stabbed
her in the arm with carving fork and she
laid him on the floor with the lid of yeast
bowl. 1t was a very unhappy state of
affairs, and as he seemed to be most to
blame, Judge Hall sent him to the bastile
for sixty days.
The case of George Bryson, charged with
the embeZzlement of funds and goods from
n. B. Hatch of the Union Pacific Tea Co.,
was then called. He waived examination
and was committed in default of $4,000
bail.
James Wilson was charged with keeping
vicious dog and he promised to have the
brute killed.

with chronic drunkenness. She stated that
he was too lazy to work, and that he came

Thurman and the Plumed knight.

Louisville Courier journal.
The plumed knight is sprightly deba-
ter, but in debate, as in everything else,
except the art of money getting, he is SUI
perficial. He has ready tongue and a
dashing style that pleaSes the vulgar herd.
He was out of place in the senate, and
made no reputation there, though always
cooked and primed for a shindy. There is
an amusing story told of Thurman and
him, which will bear repeating. On one
occasion the plumed knight came into the
senate chamber, and casually glancing at
the seat of the old Roman he discovered
that that worthy had dined and had not
passed the wine without eXacting double
toll. In few moments the man from
Maine was on his legs, attacking, in his
skirmishing way, some pet hobby or the
ory of Thurman, who between
maps became conscious that he was being
assaulted. Finally, the Ohioan reused
himself, and returned the blows with inter-
est, and as result the senator from Maine
was soon reduced to pulp. When the affair
was concluded Thurman walked out to his
committee room, followed by Mcdonald
and Edmunds. Pulling out his ba1ldana
and giving bugle blast from his proboscis,
he said: Isfs<tI9
''Boys, did that id harlequin get away
with me?"
NO. no, senator; you did splendidly;
you demolished him."
''Never mind, never mind" said the old
Roman. zone of these days he will tackle
me when I am sober; and then, d-n him,
wont I mash him?"

ABULLDOzED CELESTIAL.
The Racket Which Tom Lung Had
With a CObbler-.An Interesting
Session.

Yesterday was lively day in the police
court and there was bushel of fun for the
large crowd in attendance. Tom Lung
Celestial, attired in a Father Hubbard
ulster, appeared as the complainant in an
assault and battery case against John Wood
The latter is a descendant of one of the
Ulster kings, and he looks as if nature had
broken her mold in the making and rubbed
his faceup He is a cobbler, and by sort
of poetic justice he wears peg leg, nose
like Prince Charles pug and short hair.
The wall-eyed gentleman from the ffowery
land is the dean of washee establishment
on Wabasha street, and the cobblers apart
ment Is situated next door to the laundry.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Lung and Mr.. Wood had
a quiet picnic, in the course of which the
heathen Chinee soused a pail Of suds over
the cobbler. This made the latter crazy
and in the melee that followed the China
man was badly used up. When the case
was called yesterday Judge Hall asked Tom
Lung if the defendant had struck him,
whereupon the Chinaman gesticulated with
his arms after the fashion of stern-wheeler
by way of illustrating how he had been
whipped. As an excuse for the assault
the accused said that the Chinaman had
thrown a bucket of water on him and that
he had taken him by the tail. Wood was
fined $40.

ADecided Advantage,

Landlord don't think this house will
suit you madame. The price would also be
very heavy on account of some extra addi-
tions which could not possibly be of any
use to you.
Lady wishing to purchase house)-I
don't know about that. What are the adj
ditions?
Landlord-Well, the house was originally
built for a machinist, who had twenty
ton steam hammer put up in the cellar.
Now, that would not be of any use to
you.
Lady-That would certainly be a de-
cided advantage to me, for which I would
pay considerably higher price.
Landlord-How could you use such a
large hammer as that? A hammer that
size is only needed to flatten out the heav-
lest kind of work.
LADY, keep boarding house and would
use it to soften up the beefsteak.-Phila-
