Taken for n Goose.

A farmers wife had flock of geese,
the leader of which was an old gray
and white gander called Elder. He
was unusually large and fierce, and
every creature on the farm stood in
fear of him. The geese were kept in
pasture back of the house, and the old
gander allowed no trespassers on this
territory. Mr. Hunt; the farmer, at
one time attempted to let three young
steers feed in the pasture; but he was
forced to take them out, the gander flew
at them with such fury, beating them
with his strong wings
The entrance to the pasture where
the geese fed was a dilapidated old
gate. 1t was Mrs Hunts custom to
feed the geese with Mccullough every
morning after the family breakfast.
The Elder learned to push this gate
open and come out himself, but he
never allowed one of his flock to follow
him. He would march proudly up to
the back door of the house and wait for
Mrs. Hunt to appear with the dough-
dish. When she came out he would
seize hold of her dress and escort her
to the pasture.
When she was not quite so prompt as
the gander thought she ought to be, he
would give three or four pecks on the
door with his bill, to attract attention.
Mrs. Hunt, at first, was amused at
this habit of the gander's, and was
quick to respond to his call. 1t seems
as if the gander was pleased, also, at
his success, for it was not long before
he would 90 to the door and rap three
or four times day, If Mrs. Hunt was
busy and did not want to feed him, she
would call out, eco away, Elder! 90
away! " and the gander would usually
march back to the pasture.
One forenoon the Elder had been to
the back-door three times. Mrs. Hunt
had scolded at him and he had returned
to the pasture. About eleven o'clock
she thought she heard the old fellow
again at the door.
Go away, you torment! go away
this moment! exclaimed Mrs. Hunt.
A moment later she heard the taps
again, and somewhat louder than be-
fore.
cold Elder, you go away" scolded
Mrs. Hunt. " You bothersome old
thing!" and she emphasized her re-
marks by throwing stick of stove
wood at the door.
A third time came the raps, and Mrs.
Hunt dropped her work angrily, went
to the door and flung it open.
"Oh, you' - she began, and
stopped. For there stood her minis
ter, Elder Harper, at the door, with q
look of amusement in his eyes.
Mrs Huntfelt seriously confused fol
moment, but at length exclaimed
"You must excuse me! I thought il
was our old gander!"
$50 1 guessed" said the minister
laughing. " For your remarks weren'
very cordial, or complimentary, as ad
. dressed to me-"
/ AS for the gander, his habit of rap
ping at the door was thereafter dis
couraged, and he suffered the indig
nifty of having his wings clipped. a
new gate took the place of the dilapi
dated old one, and the Elder was con
fined to the PASTURE Youths Com

Three Lessons.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words as with golden pen
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hopel Though clouds environ round,
And gladness hides her face In scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith where'er thy bark is driven,
The calm's dsport, the tempests mirth,
Know this; God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have Love Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul,
Hope, Faith and Love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life-surges maddest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind. SCHILLER.

A little more than year ago we puoi'snea

lied wholly upon the character and reputation

seemed absurd, but We have since learned
that it can be done. The notice alluded to
above attractive universal attention, and
thousands Of people, while not believing that
Sheridan's Powder could accomplish all that
was claimed for it, thought it was at least
worth trial. The trial was male during
December. January and February. No 9TH

would have given this Powder SO severe a
test. for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these months ex-
cept in rare cases. But the result OF this
trial was most satisfactory and conclusive.
Hundreds of those who made the trial re
ceived from Is TO "a eggs per hen per month,
while many got one egg day from each hen.
The price of eggs during December, Janua-

sherman Calls Davis a Traitor.

General W. T. Sherman, with his family,
is stopping at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The
General looks hale and robust and, but for
an annoying cough, considers himself in ex'
cellent health. When asked last night if he
would make any reply to the open letter OF
jefferson Davis to J. T. Scharf, the Mary
land histc rian, in which General Sherman is
declared to be falsi6er. the General said,
With emphasis:
mo, decidedly no. The matters touched
upon by Davis we're settled in the news
papers two years ago; yes and some of them
twenty-five years ago. Davis record and
mine are known, and from them the people
can draw their conclusions. Davis own
book shows him to be q traitor. His letter
is altogether beneath my contempt"
Upon political questions the General said :
81 am a private citizen now, and do not
bother with public affairs. am going to st.
Louis to keep an engagement. After that
shall settle for the winter here and devote
myself to enjoying my leisure. "-Tribune.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and effectual cure of coughs, colds, and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in a purely healthy condi-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and a long spell OF
serious illness. A trial will convince you OF
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price
Is cents, large bottles.

1t now appears that the democratic
meeting at Maranocook. which proved so
great a failure. was regularly called and
advertised by Chairman Brown Of the
democratic State Committee. 1t will be
recollected that the responsibility for call
ing the meeting, after it proved to be a
fizzle. was placed upon the caterer at
Maranocook, by Chairman Brown. who
declared that he had nothing to do with it.
The fizzle was bad enough but the attempt
OF Chairman Brown to load it upon anoth-
ar than himself adds a deeper shade to the
disgrace of the whole affair.
