cit will be observed thatiWe were in the
centre of the gang, where We could strike
out each way. The rebellion lasted about
four minutes, at the end of which time the
pirates departed and left Us lying on the
floor. We were tired. There was also
some difficulty with Our vision, as we'll es
with a number of Our teeth. Every step
taken in the investigation up to this time
leads to the belief that We were licked.
We had been lying there over an hour,
when Colonel Hillyer came in to renew his
subscription and discovered us. Some
men would have picked Oar pocket, bat
the colonel did not. The following map

Made Her Fa'her Happy.

In the house where l live is q little girl
whose sayings are considered very bright.
One day sh. and her brother were having
q quarrel, as children often do. Her father
came in and parted them quite unceremo-
niously. He told the brther not to quarrel
with her, as she was a little fool. This
rude speech made the girl quite indignant
and she burst into tears. Her mother told
her not to cry, for her father did not mean
what he said. She then dried her tears
and said she was not crying because she
was q fool, but because she did not know
whom she inherited it from.
This same girls mother was in a melan-
choly frame Of mind one day. She ex.
pressed q wish how she wanted to be
buried after she was dead. After she had
finished, the girl spoke up and said: "You
forgot one thing, mother"
What is it2" said her mother.
"You will want a band" was the reply.
"What will ! want q band fOIP"

was wrong for him to End fault. Hestocd

claimed. "Well, why don't God wipe the
rain before He sends it down.
At another time some repairs were being
done on the house and IN opening was left
for two or three nights. Little Verde felt
troubled over il, and his mamma told him
If he was afraid to ask God to take care of
him. After the work Was finished and he
had retired at night, he called out: mann.
ma, you tell God He needn't watch that
hole any more, cause Sam has put the door
up"
Again, one bitter cold day he asked his
mamma il God wasn't cold. She explain.
ed as best she could that He was not. He
then said: well, anyway, when my
steers are grown up / shall haul up o cord

speeches. He is s years old now. When
3 years old l gave him a picture book to
look at, thinking it would keep him still
while l was busy at o Particular job. In
stead of that he kept asking about this
page and that until l told him he must
keep still, hat my hands we're full 30 full
l could not tell him Just row.
"Weil" he says, IF your hands are full
can't you tell me wit your mouf."
As he turned the pages over he cam TO
O threshing machine and he wanted to
know what that was. I told him what IL
was. He looked at it awhile, then broke
out: "Oh, yes, a ~thrashing machine; a
thing to thrash boys with"
The other day he was sitting on his
fathers lap, and he jumped off with:
Come, ma, let's 60 10 the kitchen. / think
| would feel better it l was chewing some
thing"
To-day he got out Of humor. I was try
ing to explain to him how naughty it was,
and that God did not like boys to get
angry.
"Well," he says, ~ was not angry; I am
mad, and that Is a very different thing"

The Wild Cat Came.

A Marbletown. L .ster county, farme, not
long since found that he was losing his fowls
so fast that his roOst would soon be depopu-
lated unless a stop was put 70 it, Whether
the stealing was done by a man or an
animal he could not tell. He decided to lie
IN wait and whatever it was, man or
DEVIL to attack One cold night he
bundled up in horse blankets, robes, and
overcoats, and hid himself near the hen
merry. 1t was a long, tedious watch, and
several times he almost decided to trudge to
tbs house and 90 to bed. He never before
realized what it was 70 stand picket guard.
He had heard old veterans talk about il, but
had no idea there was any great hardship
other than being shot at.
just as be was about to give up and leave
he heard a soft-footed step, and saw an ami
nal of some kind moving over the snow
toward the place where fowls were roosting.
1t slipped through a hole and disappeared
in the building. Then, by the suppressed
saueaks of the hens, the farmer was con-
WINGED that the depredat)r be had been
waiting for was at work Grasping his club
with a firm grip, he went 10 the door, threw
il open and sprang aside. He heard
wicked growl T. stealthy, cat-like move
ment, saw two balls of fire in the dark, and
then he struck with all his might. The
blow was wei aimed, for IL struck the wild
cat between the eyes, and, no doubt, killed
il at the first blow, though the man CON
tnued 10 rain down blows for minute or
more He dragged the carcass TO the house,
and the next morning, for the first time,
knew what a dangerous animal he had
killed.

HE PROPOSED AT DINNER.
An Ardent Californian Makes a Froced
March to Matrimony.
From the Neg York Herald.

From the Ne,0 York Herald.
A matrimonial sensation in which the
hero and heroine met, loved and were mar
ried all in a week occurred recently at
Asbury Park, n. J.
Away back in 40 James Prout joined the
band of adventures from the East who had
been dazzled by the marvellous reports of
the gold find IN California and were deter
mined to make the trip partly from love of
adventure and with the hope of becoming
suddenly rich.
For while Prout led a checkered life, as
did many of his companions, and roved
over the gold fields, stopping here and thSe
as it suited his fancy. Finally he struck
it rich, and in the course of a few years
amasSed fortune, which he judicously in
vested, after which he Travelled all over the
West, enjoying life in a thoroughly rational
manner
Chance finally brought him to New York.
The cityS wonderful development was d
revelation TO him after bis long absence,
and he spent days in taking in the sights,
walking through familiar streets and look
ing for old landmarks. Then just before
the holidays he bethought him of a relative
who might, perhaps, be glad to see him.
After a long search he found him living in
Asbury Park, married, and showing all the
indications of hymeneal bliss. And the
meeting was a joyful one. Up to that time
the Californian had given but little thought
to matrimOny. Now, however, the idea
seemed to take complete possession of him.
When the dinner hour arrived he was
presented to a charming young woman, a
relative of his host, and 1t was a case of
love at first sight, on his part at least.
Before dinner was half over the Cali
fornian remarked, with a meaning smile:
II always said wouldn't get married until
had made money enough TO keep wife
right. I've got enough now, thank good
ness, so what do you say" This with
glance at the pretty young woman, who
was too confused to know what answer to
make.
"What do you say?' he repeated. "Wil
you marry me"
There was no installing his meaning this
time, and the hostess, entering into the
spirit of the thing, nodded to the young
woman to say Yes"
After a pause the latter said: Really,
YOU must excuse me from answering-that
is, give me little time to consider; it is so
sudden"
II know all about that" responded Mr..
Prout, but I'm a man of few words I
want TO get married, and ! like you. What
do you SayE
At this the young woman murmured her
consent, the bargain was sealed, the groom
bought a handsome residence for her in
New York and another in Asbury Park,
and before the week was out they were
married

Remarkable Work of a Blind Man.

The London Standard having recently
made a reference to The case of the late Mr.

maker of Hobeach, has received the follow

caught a severe cold in his eyes, WEIGH re
suited in anlaurOsls and, although under
treatment of the leading occhlsts of the
day he became totally and hopeesSly blind
at 2S years of age. Instead of being crushed
by this misfortune he, by great and untiring
energy and perseverance, became one of
the cleverest of blind men. His ability to
clean and repair clocks. watchs musical
Instruments, and every article connected
with the business was truly marvellous,
being able to work as well as before He
could do any repairs required, even turning
in Verges, etc The only aid required n
taking to pieces and putting together
watch was in unpinning and pinniug the
handspring, which it was impossible for
b ind man to do and which was done bymv
mother, whom he taught to work at the
business after his loss of sight We gener-
allv had 100 watches in the snop for repair,
some of them being brought from distance
of 100 TO POO miles. Every watch he knew
by the touch, and every customer by his
voice Having been first-class cricketer,
after his loss of sight he played two single
wicket matches, both of which he won He
could play cards, domnoes, bagatelle was
q musician and leader of the Holbeach
Brass Band His early death, in 1857 was
partly attributable TO the severe treatment
be had received for his eyes
