ThE FIRST CIGAR.
A Boys Feelings Subsequent to HS Firs
Maiden Encounter with Nicotine.

A Boys Feelings Subsequent to HE First
Maiden Encounter with Nicotine.
The first smoke don't last as long as
case of sea-sickness, but while it does
last it is original and unique. The new
smoker is no judge of cigars. lie IN
variably takes strong one. He goes
a good deal by the box in which he
finds the cigars. If cigar has fancy
paper ring about it he will take it at any
price. If he lives he will know better.
Out on the shady side of the barn he
takes himself and his cigar. He is
afraid that some one will modest him.
DE lights the cigar, and holding it in
the most awkward manner between his
fingers, putfs and eXpcctorates. 1t seems
manly to smoke, and he pictures HIM
self narrating to his chums how well he
handled himself and his first cigar. The
sensation is not at all pleasant. He al
lows longer time to elapse between his
putfs, and wishes that the cigar would
burn up more rapidly. The mouth has
apecular taste, which frequent expec-
torations will not remove. The old
familiar fence is turning green. He
sees every thing circle around him. He is
better after awhile. Flat on his back on
the greensward, he looks up at the blue
heavens overhead and watches the
Eeecy white clouds float in many direc-
tons. Dinner has no attractions for
him. Candy would not tempt him to
get up. He hears his name called by
an elder brother. 1t sounds way off, as
if in dream. Nearer and nearer it
comes, and finally the owner of the
voice comes around the corner of the
barn. He guesses the cause, for he
sees the half-smoked cigar. If he is
real good boy he will tell his mother,
and the young smoker will be taken to
the house and lectured for the rest of
his boyhood days. If he is real bad
boy, one whose badness insures his liv-
ing to manhood's estate, he will get his
sick brother up on the hay in the old
barn, and will tell fib at the table to
excuse his absence. His kindness will
cost the inexperienced smoker later on
many marbles, much candy, and the
best of every thing. He will threaten
to inform their parents many times of
the first smoke, and will scare the
smoker into many scrapes and much
trouble. Paul Globe.

A YEAR TOO LATE.
The Sad and Discouraging Experience of
Repentant Husband.

The Sad and Discouraging Experience OF
Repentant Husband.
A citizen of Detroit went West about
three years ago in search of fortune.
He returned the other day, and after q
long search heard that his wife lived on
Beaubien street. 1t was ten o'clock at
night when he reached the house and
raped on the door. After few min
utes an upstairs window was raised and
a female voice cried out:
''Who is it, and what do you wanl?"
us that you, Fannie?" he asked.
''Who calls me Fannie9"
''Your husband. It's me-Henry; I
have come back
"Oh, it's you, then9 You'd better
skip
''Why9''
"'Cause I'm married again. I got
divorce from you a year ago
Fannie, how could you9 Wasn't I

'sLook a-here!' shouted the harsh
voice of man, as his head replaced
that of the woman's, II don't want no
fooling about this! Are you going
right off without any fuss, or must I
come down and carve you up9'
"But / want my wife,
"You haven't got any! The Wayne
circuit court divorced her, and Pres
byterian minister spliced her to me. Do
you think we are going back on court

The ex-husband got, but he went
down to police headquarters and ex-
planned:

it. If he comes around and wants an
explanation I'll be gentleman enough to

LITTLE THINGS,

A simple rhyme, childish grief,
A blossom on lovers tomb
A bud expanding into leaf,
A dewdrOp in a clover bloom:
How sweet, how sad, how wondrous fair.
How soon forgot, how quick to fade!
The song, the bloom, the infant care,
Pass like the play of sun and shade;
But IN their passage quicken thought
AS sunbeams melt on field and plain
ANA leave their slightest impress wrought
in blooming grass and ripening grain;
And though each individual form
Grows lndistinct, its glow remains
A halo round us in the storm,
A genial warmth that fills our VEINS
The critic comes with awful frown
10 crush the poet. like Il gnat:
Frosts nip the tender blossoms down,
And childish gricfs. for this and that,
Are merged in Sorrow large estate,
That widenS round our frosted heaGs;
And yet the var ed web of fate
is woven of such slender threads.
The little things of time are most
Secure of influence. promise. power:
The flying seed, the insect host,
DlSsOlying dew and transient shower;
Ihey multiply, build up, tear down,
And wlne their excellence and grace
On arid waste and mountain brown.
lii nOught is bare nor commonplace.
so little murmnrs. Joined in song,
Light bubbles that in music break
When youth is glad and days are long,
In low, soft ecstacies may wake
The living chords of that sweet Tyre
Which trembes in the human heart
And prompts the genius to aspire,
The man to act noble part.
Then. Scorner, spare the little things!
From atoms all the worlds are wrought
Peasants may dwindle into Kings.
Or wits give birth to humorous thought;
The great be small, the small be great:
And yet through all life varied throng
The truth holds fast as death or fate,
The humble ever are the strong

An Unceremonious Messenger.

Among other traditions of the Gov
eminent Printing Office at Washington
is a story told about a boy sent with
some proof slips of an important de-
cision to Chief Justice fancy. He APP
peared at the office of the Chief Justice
and asked him: "Is fancy in?''

"you wish to see the Chief Justice of

Mr.. G. T. Studd, the Cambridge
University athlete, converted during
Mr.. Moody's visit, on going as mis-
sionary to China offered Mr.. Hudson
Taylor, the founder of the China Inland
Mission, the whole of his fortune of
100000. Mr.. Taylor refused it, but
Mr.. Studd insisted, and put it in the
hands of trustees, who pay the interest
to the mission of which he is now one
of the self-denying missionaries.-M 7

study. But DR.. Thomas S. Sozinskev
OF Philadelphia writes an elaborate
paper in the Medical and Surgical Re
porter to express his doubt as to the
theory that the average length of hui
man life is increasing, and presents an
array Of figures Of the mortality in
England and the United States to sus-
tain his view. BE shows by authen.

oblivious to sanitary science. Them

The Mines Of the Black Hills.

The mines of the Hills are attracting
worldwide attention at present, for while
representatives of New York manufactur-
ers are investigating the Southern Hills
district, party Of English capital
lists are similarly engaged in the
extensive Bear Gulch or Niger
Hill district, west OF Deadwood. A large
amount Of work has been performed in the
latter, with excellent results. Large reduc-
ton works are among the possibilities OF q
very nearfuture. Thirty miles further west,
and the oil fields of Crook county appear, an
expansive area alive with prospectors and
Others. industriously at work. A dozen or
more incorporated companies are repre-
sented but only two-Black Hills and Stand
ard-as yet point to any great accomplish
ment. The Standard is down 800 feet, and
produces three barrels a day The Black
Hills attained equal depth, when losing its
drill, operations necessarily ceased for a
time. The oil is pronounced the finest lub-
ricant produced in America, selling readily
on the dump at six bits-75 cents-a gall
lon. The Great Northwestern has two
machines to DO delivered on or before Sept
Is, and will strike for China Immediately
thereafter.

Gov. Pierce. Civil sorv,oe order.

Gov. Pierce OF Dakota has issued an ex-.
ecutive order to territorial officers, regents,
directors OF public Institutions etc, direct
ing their attention to extracts from Presi-
dent Cleveland's civil service order of July
II. After quoting the presidents order to
federal officials, Gov. Pierce says:
If this is right for officials holding federal
positions, it is right for those who hold
places of trust and emolument under APP
pointment from the executive authority Of
the territory Such officers, therefore, are
requested to abstain from all officious in.
termeddling with primary meetings or con-
ventions, and from assuming active con-
duct Of political campaigns. If all officials
will abstain from using the influence of their
patronage in party nominations, leaving
the people free and untrammelled to act as
their wisdom directs, the public service
will not suffer, but will be exalted.

There has been recently organized in
st. Paul a company which will prove
OF much benefit to property owners
and capitalists. It is Real Estate
Title Insurance company, similar to
those in operation in Philadelphia and
other eastern cities. The plan of the
company, in brief, is to guarantee
against loss by reason of detective
titles, liens or encumbrances. A poll
cy in this company takes the place OF
the abstract and the attorneys opin-
ion usually required in making loan
or in the sale of the property. The
policy guarantees the title in the
amount and for the time Of the loan,
or for the value of the property for
all time.
