Entertainments for the Century

Entertainments for the Century.
Every school district should have q
literary society for the long evening.
It is never-falling source of enjoy
ment, and good is sure to come from
it.
Almost every neighborhood has
readers and thinkers who can discuss
clearly and inteIligently all topics of
general interest.
Every neighdorhood has an organ
and singers, and if the music is not
very good and the singing not good
at all, desire may at least be
awakened for something better.
A taste for good reading, good
music, good stories, good singing and
for good in all things has been created
in country lyceums.
Ridiculous things may be said and
done, but very wise man once, wrote
HE who hath not dram of folly in
his mixture, hath pounds of much
worse matter in his composition.
The amusing things of life play a
most important part in bringing
about general happiness and general
good. Every man and every woman
is better for hearty laugh once in a
while.
A literary society for young people,
and particularly young people living
in quiet rural districts, should always
have an element of fun in it; and hap
PLY this element is seldom missing in
such societies.

A Woman and a Telegram.

The other day, says the Cincinnati
Sun, young housewife left her home
in this city to spend few days with
several lady friends in Hamilton. Be-
fore going she provided a good supply
of cold edibles for her husband, and
told him that he could help himself
whenever he was hungry. He took
lunch downtown and went home in the
evening for dinner.
As he tells the story he found cold
chicken, cold butter, cold pie, cold
milk, cold salt, cold mustard, and sew
eral other cold dishes, but with all
that ne was not entirely satisfied. and
hunted high and low for sonnet hing
else. At first he did not know what it
was, but finally concluded that he
wanted bread. He knew there
was some in the house. but he
could not find it. Finally he conclud-
ed to telegraph his wife, for he could
not live without bread Accordingly
telegram asking ''Where is the
bread?'' was dispatched.
The wife received it in the midst of
of number of ladies, and 1t frighten-
ed her nearly to death. With the cry,
81 know it is bad news; I know Mr..
BIS killed." she fell in faint.
The ladies present cried from sym
pathy, and a most lugubrious scene
presented itself when the man of the
house happened in. "What st he mat
ter here?" he asked. "Mrs. BIS hus-
band has been killed and she has faint
ed,'' was the reply. "How do you
know" he asked. "Oh, she got a
telegram" Where is it," 1--WE
havn't opened it yet"
'sImagine the scene when the SYM
pathetic creatures read the message.

How They Trap Bears I'm Maine.

How They Trap Bears I'm Maine.
Mr.. Knapp, Veteran Hunter, in lewiston
Journal.
usually build 4 cubby .housc ihthe
woods out OF old stnmps and decayed
branches. / sorter pile 'em around,
you know, and leave a little opening
for the bear togo in, after he sees the
consarn and his curiosity is excited. /
catch some suckers or other kind OF
fish in the river and hang EN- up in
this cubby. Then l try to fix the trap
so that the bear will have to step on
the trencher II he gets the fish. A
bear never steps on a log in his path,
but always steps over it. usually fix
the trap on tother side of log or
branch SO that he will be pretty sure
to step over the log and into the trap.
A knowing old bear won't 90 into one
OF these cubbies. Sometimes after
trying to catch an old sheep thief in
this way and not getting him; have
caught the old fellow by hanging a
string Of fish in a careless way
on some tree, as if left there
accidentally by some sportsman,
and putting a strap underneath.
Sometimes | find d track where a
bear had d habit offording brook.
take away the stone In the brook
which the bear steps on when he
crosses, and put the trap in its place.
When the bear feels after the old and
familiar stone, his fore-paw is caught
in the trap.
Some bears have learned to smell a
trap, so We have to kill the smell.
We do that by daubing it over with
lard and beeswax. l have twelve
traps and visit 'em twice week. The
bear is usually caught by the fore paw.
He does MT live more than twenty
four hours after the jaw closes on him,
as a general thing. In warm weather
the pelt would soon spoil if did not
get It pretty quick after the critter
died. The fur is in the best condition
when the bears are housing, latein the
fall. Then it is as nice as Merino
sleeps wool. l get So to $15a piece
for my pelts. The bears spend the
winter in the lodges about here and
under the stumps. Since we had that
hurricane that blew down so many
trees, there have been q lot OF cosy
places for bears around here.

The First Alarms at Fort Nor.
gan:

From the Americas (Ga.) Recorder.
When the Madison Rifles first reach
ed Fort Morgan, Ala, in April, 1861,
they werenot provided with tents, and
slept out on the white sand around
;hefort. There was an Irishman in the
company named Anthony Judge, as
witty fellow as ever hailed from old
Erin. About 10 o'clock Of the first
night after arrival, while all the COM
pany except picket guards, stationed
mile off, were asleep, q stiff breeze
sprang up and the loose sand drifted
swiftly over the sleepers, and soon had
some of them covered. Anthony was
the first to awaken, and not seeing all
the forms OF the sleeping men, yelled:
Captain Coltart! Captain! Wake
up; a'h-l of a shnow starm has ris,
and the last mothers son if We will be
entirely drowned if we amt up" The
drummer heard the noise, beat the long
roll, and in a few minutes it resounded
in every camp around. The guards
were doubled, companies hurried over
the beach, but as it was feared Colonel
Hardee, who was then commandant
there, would punish Anthony, he was
never reported.
About an hour later another yell
was heard from the gulf side of the
beach from one of the pickets, who had
been posted while the tide was out,
and ordered not to leave his post
The poor fellow had never been in
sight Of salt water before, and when
the tide came rolling in, stood TO his
post. When the water had risen to
his waist, he commenced yelling for the
corporal of the guard. The corporal
was at the other end of the line. so tie
officer of the guard went to the call.
He found his man in water up to his
neck, but still determined to stay un-
til he was ordered back. He said to
the officer: 'There has been the d
biggest rain somewhere youns has
heard Of; this erik has ris twenty foot
an hour" He was relieved and sent
to camp.

That Sausage.

A clergyman in a southern state was
on his way to preach funeral SER
mon. AS he was passing the house Of
q widow lady, a member of his con-
gregation, she ran out and stopped
him, saying, as they just slaughtered
their hogs, she had put mp a few pounds
OF sausage as present, adding that,
as she had put it in double paper
pockets, she thought it would not soil
his clothes. He thanked her earnestly
FOR her kindness, and rode on, having
put the parcel in his pocket.
grave large, half-starved hound kept
shutting around him, sometimes APP
preaching alarmlngly near, attracted
by the scent of the fresh meat. AS the
deceased was man of some promi-
hence, there was q considerable crowd
collected, and great mourning and la
nlentation came from the family
group; SO no one paid any attention
to the movements of the animal; but
all noticed with concern-for he was
beloved by his congregation-the great
pallor of the clergyman, and the beads
of perspiration standing upon his
brow, and they began to whisper to
each other that Mr.. H must be i'll.
After the interment they all pro-
ceeded to the church, where the funer-
al sermon was to be preached. just
before entering, Mr.. HI. turned
round to ascertain the whereabouts
of his tormentor, when 10 there he was,
not far from him, but the crowd pre-
vented him from approaching too
closely. just at this moment some
one gave the poor creature q cruel
kick; which sent him off bowling
When the minister reached his pulpit
-one of those old-fashioned affairs as
cended by a short, steep fight ofsteps
he breathed more freely. He was
just about to commence his duties
when the sexton, o good old man,
came noiselessly up the steps with q
slip of paper in his hand. which he
wished to give to the minister, but
was unnoticed by that gentleman
though seen by all the congregation
He gently twitched his coat to attract
his attention. A thrill of horror
passed over the unhappy preacher al
| the dreadful thought that the dog had
entered unseen in the crowd, and was
now about to take forcible possession
OF the sausage before the whole as
sembly; 50, hoping to drive him away
he kicked back cautiously but vigor
ously, and struck the old man in the
breast, who rolled down the steps.
Seeing the look ofsurprise and alarm
on the faces Of the audience, he STAN
mered out, with CRIMSON face: 81 must
explain TO you, my brethren, what
must seem my incorporate conduct
