General Custer's Pet.

AT one time General Custer tanned a
tiny field-mouse and kept it in large
empty ink-stand on his desk. 1t grew
very fond of him, and ran over his
head and shoulders and even through
his hair. l had, fortunately, only to
keep away from the desk when the lit
tie creature was free, for it was con-
tented to consider that his domain
The general, thinking at last that it
was cruel to detain the little thing in
doors, when it belonged by nature to
the fields, took it out and left it on the
plain. The kindness was of no earthly
use; like the oft-quoted prisoner of the
Bastile, It was back again at the steps
in no time and preferred captivity to
freedom. Mrs. Clusters "reminiscences.

A Rising Tide.

The west wind clears the morning,
The sea shines slvery gray;
The night was long but fresh and strong
Awakes the breezy day;
Like smoke that flies across the lift,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and far along the bar
The tide comes creeping in.
The dreams of midnight showed me
life of loneliness,
A stony shore that knew no more
The bright waves soft caress;
The morning broke, the vision fed
With dawn new hopes Begin
The light is sweet, and at my feet
The tide comes rolling in.
Over the bar, black powders,
The ocean sweeps and swells;
O, waters wide, ye come to hide
Dull stones and empty shells
hear the floods lift up their voice
with loud, triumphant din;
Sad dreams, depart-rest doubling heart,
The tide comes foaming I'M

WHEN a lecturer has worked the

the merits of DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup,
he is bound to rouse a feeling of indig-

Valentines Day.

Tomorrow, February 18th, is Valentine
day. In England and Scotland and some
parts of Europe, especially France, it was
formerly the custom for the young maids
and bachelors to assemble together and
write the names of a number of the eligible
unmarried folks in the neighborhood on
slips of paper and mingle them together in
a common receptacle. Each would then
draw out, lottery-wise, the name of a per-
son of the opposite sex, and the person whose
name was so drawn became the Valentine
of the person drawing it. The connection
of the custom with st. Valentine is purely
accidental. In the legends of the saint of
that name in the 4cta Sanct0run, no trace
of the custom peculiar to February 18th is
found.
The day is now usually made the occa-
sion for the sending of delicate missives of
love and affection from signing loverstotheir
inamc .tas, but the custom is fast becoming
''morJ honored i'll the breach than in the
observance" The vulgar and insulting
so-called comic valentines" still hold their
own, and are made the vehicle of mean and
cowardly spite in many cases. An ex-
change says: If there are any persons you
don't like and you are afraid to tell them
so, send them a comic valentine, 1t is a
cheap method of righting a fancied wrong,
and the title to cowardice may still be re-
tanned.

Receiver Appointed.

The creditors petition for a Receiver for
the East Lake Wooden Mills, of Bridgeton,
has been granted, and Jonathan Elmer
has been appointed Receiver. The Bridge
ton Star says these mills were established
about seventy years ago, and made money
up to 1868 when the old building was torn
down and the present structure was erect
ed. For thirteen consecutive years there
after (after the new building was complet-
ed) the company did not declare a single
dividend. The original moun of capital
put into the concern was 500, 600. The
last three years the company has run the
mills at a great loss and this precipitated
the insolvency of the institution.

that Mr.. Prehl could get any reference he
