The Dogs and the Robbers.

A tragical story is told of an adven-
iure that happened to the monks of st.
Bernard, when thr breed of their ccle-
bTated dogs was at its full projection.
No less than thirty robbers, to whom
the supposed possession of the monas-
tery offered booty, had, by degree iu-
troduced themselves into the retreat,
arriving in parties at intervals, and
were always received in the most friend
ly manner AS soon as the whole band
ment and summoned the abbot tC~ -
duce the keys of the treasure. The
monk was, fortunately. a man of more
resolute character than usually oc-
CURED in those places of seclusion, and
did not lose his presence of mind. He
observed to them mildly that their con-
duct was unworthy and an ill-return
for the hospitable attention they had
received. The robbers, as may be sup
posed, were deaf to the appeal and con-
tiuued their demand. IF IL must be
so, -. said the superior, ''as we have no
means of defending ourselves, L must
submit; follow me therefore, to the spot
where our treasury Is kept" lie led
the way and was tumultously attended
by the eager band. He placed his hand
en- a door, but before he turned the key
he turned his back and made another
appeal. He was answered with excra-
tiOn, and no choice being left him he
threw the door wide open. 1t was the
den in which the dogs were kept, he
raised his voice, to which loud yell
responded, then gave a rapid signal,
aud IN an instant the powerful animals
bounded forth upon their prey, tearing
some, strangllng others, and sendlng
few of the robbers, who escaped their
attack, flying for their lives headlOng
down the mountain IN frantic terror,
to be dashed to pieces over the preci-
Uice which yawned beneath their feet

Soothing n Dying Patient.

Nurses in hospitals are rather apt to
lay too much stress on the advantages
received by the patients and their duty
OF thankfulness, but still 1t is the poor
soldier who suffers most from always
having his causes to be grateful flung
in his teeth. Witness the following true
story:
Chaplain-SO poo- Hopkins is dead
I should have liked to speak once again
and soothe his last moments; why
didn't you call me?"
Hospital Orderly didn't think you
ought to be disturbed for 'Opkins, sir,
so Just soothed HIM as best 1 could
myself"
Chaplain-"Wny, what did you say
to him?"

Freaks OF Lightning.

Lightning performed a singular
freak among the cattle of Washington
Schmeck, a farmer residing In Rus
cumb Manor Township, Berks county,
Pennsylvania. The fluid passed down
the lightning rod on the stable until
near the ground, when it passed
through a stone wall and killed the 6rst
OF four COWS in one stall. Then the
lightning passed through a heap OF
straw, but did not ignite it On the
opposite side of the stable six COWS
were chained, and from the first every
other cow was struck by the bolt and
killed. 1t passed out through the wal
again, and HolsteIn bull was made a
victim. The stone wall was scar csly
injured.

DEMOCRATIC DoDGES NO. 3.

We can not pass over the campaign
of 1876 in haste. There were features
about it that have rendered it histori-
cal. The republicans placed their can
didates, Hayes and Wheeler, on this
old we'll known platform, protection
and freedom, reform, free ballot and a
fair COUNT and demand for an early
resumption of specie payments. The
democrats placed Tilden and Hen
bricks OH lodging bankruptcies
ton, where protection was popular;
free trade, where free trade was de-
manded; hard money in the east, soft
money in the south and west, with a
reform chorus to every clause. For
cheek and impudence it was without
a parallel. This copperhead confed-
crate crowd, that had just burdened
the nation with an immense national
debt, that had caused to perish the
youth Of our land by the hundreds
of thousands, both in the north and
south, and had swept our merchant
marine from the oceans by
their paratical cruisers, now
yelled Justify for reform" Beaten
in battle with the bayonet, in
their insane effort to destroy the gov
eminent, they clammored for a chance
to reform for another battle of the
ballot. What audacity. And then,
see their candidate, one who had, as
a politician, cooperated with my
friend, VIM. NJ. Tweed" during all
his years of plundering and ballot
stuffTng, and only deserted him when
his fall was near at hand; a man, who
had amassed millions by wrecking
large monied corporations, with which
he was associated; man who was an
attorney for that national scheme of
robbery, "credit moblier; and, a man
who, when indicted for perjury, plead
the statute of limitations to escape
trial. Yes, think of this man posing
before the people of the United States
as Performer an Immaculate states
man. If his candidacy had not been
reality il might have served as
grim burlesque. This man, with his
record, who had aided Tweed to count
out Grant and Griswold in his own
state, in 1868, and count in Seymour
and Hoffman, whines when the re-
turning boards refuse to count him in.

Further of kosh Hashona.

Last evening at sunset began the
Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashona. 1t
Is the civil year 5649 from the creation
of the world. Its advent is marked
by "a solemn festival, which is OBJ
served by the Israelites without ex-
ception in every country of the world.
| The Jewish New Year occurs in the
| month OF Tishri, the seventh month
of the religious year, but the first of
the civil year. This month has thirty
DAYS, extending over parts of Septem-
Der and October. Before the Baby
loniau captivity it was known Uy the
name of Ethanim. tits the period of
autumn in the Holy Land; the fruits
and vintage have been gathered in,
and the land is being plowed for the
following harvest.
The month of Tishri ushers in the
autumnal equinox, and to the Jews is
the most important of all the months
of the year on account OF the NUMBER
of it's sacred days. The festival of
ROsh Hashona is celebrated on the
first day of the month-Wednesday
evertng and Thursday, Septem Der 5
and s. While it is time of rejoicing,
it is also period of great solemnlty.
Judaism believes that on this day all
the actions of the past year are re-
viewed by the Great Judge. The
service in their temples is very inn
presSive.
The rams hOrn-Shofar-is sounded
to call attention to the duties and
significance of the day and bring to
mud that the great Day of Atonement
is drawing nigh. This festival is
known by four names:
/. Rosh Hashona, New Iear-Lit-
orally head of the year.
>. Yom HazikOron, Day of Memo
rial-Because God calls to memory
the faults and sins of the past year.
3. Yom Hadin, Day OF Judgment
For on this day the Israelites are on
trial before the judge OF the whole
earth.
4. Yom Terno-A day of sounding
the trumpet.
The origin of this festival is given
in Leviticus XIII %, "a and 25: "And
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying
Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying: In the seventh month, on
the first day of the month, shall We
have Sabbath, a memorial of blow
ing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
We shall do no servile work thereon"
Therefore this festival has been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton in obedience to the com nand of
God.
