THE OLD RAIL FENCE.

Lot others in their song rehearsc
The beauties they may see.
And build monument In verse:
AL this most fitting be;
But will raise my voice to sing
OF it, without pretence,
That much dosplsod, oid-fashioned thing,
The homely old roll fence.
What would our dreams Of childhood be
Without its zigzag path!
What flowers beside it we did see y
Before the Aftermath
The fields are there like grass ablaze
The hre-weed flaunts from thence,
But almost gone from out our gaze
We find the old rail fence.
The rapid march of progress hos
Erased the landmark old;
1t is to-day thing that Was
A story that is told.
The pruning knife OF Time has cut
With energy intense,
'Mong other childhood relics out
The honored old rail fence.
1t was the squirrels safe retreat;
The chipmunck's chattering oft
Made US advance with hurting feet
Where he was perched aloft.
There Natures mint was stored away,
And oft we carried hence
A thousand floral coin a day,
Found by the old rail fence.
Arbutus, mullen, golden rod,
Felt its protecting care,
And though with hands full home we trod,
We had world to spare.
Life gives, know, so much to-day
The past to recompense,
But with sweet memories laid away,
have the old rail fence.

HONORlNG HERSELF.

How q Bright Vassar Girl Earned Her
College Expenses.
Every girl knows the value put upon
money by schoolgirls, even when they
become college girls, and the one who
would have the courage to be-
come in sense the maid and
seamstress of a classmate for
the sake of earning money to pay her
expenses deserves the honor, respect
and admiration of every American girl.
Nothing paltry nor mean could touch
such girl She will make her mark,
and win any position for which she
aims. -
Some of the girls who go to Vassar,
says one of our exchanges, are as help
less as babes. They are the daughters
of rich men, and would not have it
supposed that they ever brushed their
own hair or sewed a button on their
boots in their lives. They are only
too glad to have some one do these
things for them, and that is how the
poorer girls make pocket money. Last
year a pretty, blue-eyed girl came to
college, and stated during the first
week that her tuition and board were
paid by kind relative, but every PEN
ny for dress, car fare, and tho thousand
and one little incidentals she must
earn herself.
Soon after her arrival the following
announcement appeared on her door:
'Gloves and shoes neatly mended for
ten cents each.
breakfast brought up for ten cents.
''Hair brushed each night for twenty.
five cents q week.
''Beds made up at ten cents week.
That little freshman made one hun.
dred and fifty dollars the first year, and
that paid all her expenses, and good
part of her tuition fees.-YoutA's COM

!. She finally got voice enough back to
begin: ''Well, really, Uncle Patterson,
i don't know how to apol-" but at this
point she was interrupted by new
demonstration on the part of their pc
cuhar guest. At Lizzy's cry: II
thought he was tramp" his angry
and surprised expression had changed
to a grin-a new light seemed slowly
to dawn on him, and finally he broke in
upon Mrs. Milham's confused excuses
with a tremendous ''Ha! ha! hap that
fairly shook the little house. Even
Lizzy stopped crying in wonder at the
sound. The old mans amusement was
irresistible; even Mrs. Milham, in all
her modification, could not help join
ing in. The children began to think it
all very funny when their mother
would laugh, and made almost as much
noise this way as they had before in
their alarm. At last Uncle Patterson
gathered himself up slowly from the
floor, and said: ''Don't We say another
word, Betsey! dom. We say another
word! Thought I was tramp,
did she? Haw! haw! Never mind,
little gal, ye've got right good spunk,
and 1 like spunk wherever I see it..

harm done, except to the hat, and I
guess it won't do me no harm to git a
new one, anyway.
Eye see, Betsey," he went on, taking
chair in the kitchen, II got a chance
to ride over with one of your neigh
bors by the name o. johnson, and
walked over from his house. Thought
I'd save the stage the trouble. But
when got here it was so hot that il
seemed as if I must git in somewheres
or roast. So, thinkin' nobody was to
home, made free to climb in your
window, but I got caught in my bur-
glarizin' "-here he looked with q
twinkling eye at Lizzy, who hid he,
face-''and good enough fer mel"
What a merry time they had to
gether that evening! Their peculiar
introduction took away all stiffness be
tween them. The children played
about in their usual way, and Mr.. Har
wood Patterson softened and warmed
to them to degree that astonishe,
even himself. And at last, when Carr!
and Bess had gone to bed, and he ant
Mrs. Milham and Lizzy sat in tn,
moonlight together, he said:
"Wa'al, Betsey, I guess we might a

Some Fabulous Natural History Taught to
Former Generations.

Some Fabulous Natural History Taught to
Former Generations.
The ''Speculum Mundi; or, a Glass
Representing the Face of the World,' y
which was published in 1870, before
the advent of real science, contains
some very curious statements in natural
history. 1.-The bigness of the whales ~
it says, "equalizeth the hills and
mighty mountains" Indeed, Some
authors mention ''far greater whales
than these" Above all others, mermen
and mermaids are considered 1.-THE
most strange fish in the waters.'' A
fine specimen of mermaid, which was
said to have been caught in Holland,
suffered herself to be clothed,
fed with bread, milk, and
other meats, and would often
strive to steal again into the sea, but
being carefully watched she could not.
Moreover, she learned to spin and per.
form other petty Offices of women; but
at the first they cleansed her of the
sea-moss which did stick about her. II
The ostrich is said to be compounded,
as it were, of a bird and beast. For
making drunkard loathe his liquor a
prescription is given for breaking owls
eggs and putting them into it. Birds
of Paradise have no wings, neither dc
they fly, but are borne up into the all
by the substility of their plumes and
lightness of their body" The unicorn
is described as being like two-year.
old colt, with a horn growing out of his
forehead, "a very rich one, being a
horn of such virtue as is in no beasts
horn besides, which, while some
have gone about to deny, they have
secretly blinded the eyes of the world
from their full view of the greatness OF
Gods great works." The gorgon is a
'fearful and terrible beast to look up
on. He causeth his name to stand up
right, and, gaping wide, he sendeth
forth a horrible and filthy breath,
which infecteth and poisoneth the
air." The cockatrice or basilisk is
called the king of serpents, not only on
account of his size, but also ''for his
stately pace and magnanimous mind. ~
His poison scorches the grass as if it
were burned. The dragon is found
chiefly in India and Ethiopia. His
wings will carry him to seek his prey
when and where occasion serveth. F."
His teeth are very sharp and set like a

head at both ends" Africa
