 Beware of the man who tells you ''there is a fortune in it." He may want to get your fortune in it also.- Teras SytingS.
 This is a sort of a tOpsy turvey world. No one seems to be satisfied. One man is struggling to get justice and another is flying from it.

 Between levity and cheerfulness there is a wide distinction; end the mind which is most open to levity is frequently stranger to cheerfulness.

ELOQUENT GRATITUDE.
A Pretty Story Related by a WelI-Known
 English Woman.

English Woman.
 In one of the chapters of Lady Bar ker's "Station Amusements in New Zealand" there is a long and graphic description of tramp, or swagger. as such a person is called in that part of the world, who once put up at her house. He arrived in the morning, during fierce "sou'wester," ragged, drenched and thoroughly exhausted. All that day he acted exactly like q lost, starving dog," eating and sleep ing, but saying not word. He stayed three days, till the storm was over
 Next morning a flood of sunshine awoke me bright and early" as the country people say. It seemed impos- sible to stay in bed, so jumped up, and went to the window.
 What a morning it was, and for mid winter, too! No haze, or fog, or vapor on all the green hills. But 1 had no eyes for beauty of mountain or sky. Icould do nothing but gaze on the strange figure of the silent swagger, who knelt, yes, positively knelt, on the still wet and shining shingle which formed an apology for gravel-path up to the back door of the little wooden homestead.
 His appearance was very different from what it had been three days be- fore. Now his clothes were dry and clean and mended-my Irish maids doing, bless their hearts! He had cobbled up his boots himself, and his felt hat, which had quite recovered from it's drenching, lay at his side.
 The perfect rest and warmth and good food had filled up his hollow cheeks, but still his countenance was a curious one, and never, until my dying day, can I forget the rapture of en- treaty on that mans upturned face. It brin gs the tears into my eyes now to 'recollect its beseeching expression. do not think ever sGoO prayer be- fore or since. He did not perceive me, for had hidden behind sheltering curtain, to listen to his strange, earn est petitions.
 There, exactly where he had crouched, a wretched, way-worn tramp in pouring rain, he now knelt, with the flood of sunshine streaming down on his uplifted face, whilst he prayed for the welfare and happiness, individ- ually and collectively, of every living creature within the house.
 Then he stood up, and lifted his hat from the ground but before he re- placed it on his head, he turned, with gesture that would have made the fortune of any orator, gesture of mingled love and farewell, and solemnly blessed the roof-tree which had shel- tered him in his hour of need.
 I watched him turn and go, noise- lessly closing the gate after him, and shall I confess it?-my heart has always felt light whenever I have thought of that swagger's blessing.- YOuth'S CompGniom.

A Foolish Quarrel.

A thimble, a needle and piece of thread were all lying on ladys work table together.
 Now, the needle had rather nasty temper, and could give sharp bricks when it pleased, and this morning it was out of sorts; so it tried to pick a quarrel with the thimble, and said, spitefully: ''You gave me some hard knocks yesterday, and I wish that you would be more gentle in future"
 'It is true. do push you hard some times" answered the thimble, ''but you know that is only when you do not do your work properly, and our mistress makes me keep you up to it.
 ''Pray, don't you two quarrel, said the thread, wishing to be peace-maker.
 "You mind your own business, re torted the needle.
 My business is your business, sai' the thread, for you are no use without me, and am none without you"
 That's just it, " said the thimble. "A great deal of nonsense is talked in this world about being independent. But my own opinion is that people should try to help one another, for from the highest to the lowest, we are all very dependent on the good services of our neighbors for something or other, every day of our lives.-LittLe Folks.

TWO THOROUGH EATERS.
The Duke of Cumberland and Germany's
 Iron Chancellor.

The Duke of Cumberland and Germany's
 Iron Chancellor.
 Bismarck and the Duke of Cumber- land hate each other about as thor oughly as any two men in the world. The Duke of Cumberland is the son of the blind King of Hanover, whom Bis marck deposed in 1866, who fled to Vienna, and whose dominiOns were an nexed to the kingdom of Prussia after the peace of Sadowa. Bismarck not only seized Hanover and all the public property, but he put his paws upon s10,000,000 of private funds belonging to the King.
 His eldest son and heir. the Duke of Cumberland, regarded that as mOn- strous injustice, and other statesmen have held to the same opinion. But when the Duke of Brunswick died he willed all his personal property, $12,000,000, to his cousin, the present Duke of Cumberland. It was so placed that Bismarck could not get hold of that, but the Duke was kept out of the Duchy of Brunswick because Bismarck considered that he would be a danger ous subject in Germany.
 But Bismarck, knowing that the Duke of Cumberland would be always the center of disaffection in Germany, wants to give him crown in some dis tant country. So the Chancellor has proposed to the Duke to accept the crown of Bulgaria. The Duke replied that he considered the proposal an in- suit; that he was the legitimate King of Hanover, and that he hoped to live to see the time when Prussia would be shorn of her fictitious greatness.
 The Duke, having married Princess Thyrra, the youngest daughter of the King of Denmark, is a brother-in-law of the Prince of Wales and the Czar of Russia, and this makes Bismarck the more anxious to placate him by a crown bauble. But the Duke does not forget that Bismarck tried to prevent his match with Thyrra, intimating that it would be an unfriendly act on the part of Denmark to allow one of it's Princesses to marry a person who was constantly scheming to recover the kingdom of Hanover.
 Though the Duke of Cumberland is one of the wealthiest men in the world he is said to be one of the unhappiest, because he can not reobtain his crown. -MitaOaukee Wisconsin.

the noise of the dogs, is ready to take up the chase near the point where the game emerges. And so we go! Over the hills, through the farms, jumping fences, leaping ditches! No English fox hunt can compare with the Florida eat drive, and few are the farmers who can resist leaving team a-field and running to the house for saddle when the baying of hounds and the blowing of horns tell that eat drive is on. The hounds of every farmer hearing the din leave their kennels, and are found loudest- mouthed in the pursuing pack. At last comes the end, as all sports must end.
 After an all days chase the wild cat at four o'clock in'the afternoon, or at five o'clock at the latest, can go little further. The snapping jaws of the hounds come closer and closer. He turns his glaring eyes moment behind him and staggers on. The pack of dogs that had been in full cry in the morning is now broken. Only the hardy ones have kept up with the long chase. Horses and riders are worn and jaded. The cat can run no more. He prepares to battle for his life. He turns on his back, raises his feet and strikes his long claws vicious ly at any hound that dare attack him. The battle is long and bloody, and be- fore it ends hounds are frightfully scared and often lose an eye. Many time after cat chase have sewed up the ears of my dogs. The cat drive is the Florida mans favorite sport. It is not pursued with the purpose of ex- terminating the animals. Indeed, by State law, a hunter, who will shoot cat in front of his dogs, is fined $25, and, by rule of the Hunters Asso- citation, he is fined again for the same offense. You see if the cat is killed by bullet the hounds that have fol- lowed it are forever spoiled for the chase. Their proper discipline and future usefulness require that they should kill the cat. On this account shotguns and rifles are usually left be- hind. ."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Snobberl sits in a revolving char in the artists studio while the artist captures his col lection of features and pastes them, so to speak, on the canvas. To the ar lists surprise, Snobberly turned his back.
 "What are you turning your back to me for?" asked the painter.

HUNTING WILDCATS.
Thrilling Sport with Which FIoridians
 Amuse Themselves.

Thrilling Sport with Which FIoridians Amuse Themselves.
 Chatting over their cigars, few gentlemen passed a pleasant hour ex- changing personal experiences of the chase. Mr. M. N. Bryan, of Madison County, Fla, told, with much interest to his listeners, stories of the hunting of the wildcat. He said:
 1.-The Florida wildcat, when fully grown, weighs about fifty pounds, is as large as a good-sized fox-hound, and when in full chase of a pack of hounds is an object to startle and be- wilder Northern hunter With fur thrown back, claws extended, leaping with great springs through forest or swamps, the ordinary sportsman. at the first sight of the animal, turns pale and wants to leave instanter. The cat will attack sheep, lambs, young hogs and poultry, but the human family, except young and unprotected chil- dren, need have no fear of him. I know of no sport so exciting and de- manding effort so hard and long, continued as a eat drive The hunt ing party having been agreed upon, they meet an hour and a half before daylight, mounted on their best horses and attended by hounds, often to the number of forty. The wild cat is gen. erally found foraging at this hour and, being surprised, runs quickly to the cover of the nearest swamp, or climbs tree. If he seeks a tree, he is not shot, but the tree is cut down or he is otherwise dislodged. The hounds are held in leash until he gets a good start, when the leader blows his horn and the pursuit is resumed. If the cat enters a swamp, the. hounds follow him there and ultimately drive him out and the hunting party, guided by

But, taken altogether, there was little or no

rators could use. Cow stock and common
