On Lies Threshold.

A dear. benevolent old gentleman gave
to an cafud terrible a fine goat. This was
a few days ago. The ~youngster was
naturally delighted with his pet. He
gave out vaguely 10 his friends and
enemies that ne was training an animal
which would be a terror to the neighbor-
hood. Doubles the goat would have
proved a very disturbing element in
society if its youthful owner had not
trained il a trife too fine.
1t came about in this wise
The goat-and Of this there is no doubt
stood badly in need Of a washing.
Tommy as its owner may be called for
the occasion, is not generally overload Of
washing, but as regarding goats he was a
lover Of cleanliness. So he got a garden
hose and attached it to a hydrant. Then
he tied up the goat securely and played
upon it till the animals hair was as clean
as the streets of Pittsburg will be at the
millennium.
Theft Tommy fell to communing with
himself.
elf" reasoned be, the goat was so
dirty outside, he must be very far from
clean inside"
This seemed conclusive to Tommy's
companions, and they consented to hold
the goat while he effected the internal
publication.
Tommy inserted the nozzle Of the hose
into the goats mouth
II is a painful subject.
But the goat has q very pretty grave at

The Planter and His Mortgage

The rice crop suggests the experience
Of a lawyer who has had several plant
ers for clients. It is a poor plantation,
he says, which cannot afford two mort
gages a year. The Older planters are law
ism IN expenditure, EVE figuring on the
failure, but living high in hope Of future
prosperity. One planter, however, found
it impossible to lift his mortgage, and
called upon his lawyer for advice. First
he presented the amount Of his mortgage
which called for 5000. Then there
were the receipts for his sales of rice,
which amounted to $500. After de
Quoting what I need TO live on" said the
planter, Il am short 81, OOO. necessary to
pay off the mortgage"
The lawyer looked at the life bill long
and earnestly, and at last putting his
finger on one item of 500, asked what
is this for2' That is to go to Saratoga,
sir / never miss a trip to Saratoga"
Another 500 item was pointed out when
the planter Indignantly explained That
sir, IS for wines and cigars people must
live you know" And il v occurred
10 this man that he could forego Sarato-
ga, wines and cigars for one year, and
thus be released from debt.
There is a new class Of rich planters
grown up since the war, who are making
money. They stay at home, live frugally
and husband their own resources, and as
a consequence are doing well.-Aaanta

DANCING with a Corpse.

Burials alive are far more common
in hot countries, where the burial takes
place within twenty four hours after death
than they are here, where one gets, as 4
rule, a weeks grace. In Spain the body
is frequently removed to the undertaker's
shop a few hours after death. In one of
the largest establishments in Madrid,
some wears 60, an extraordinary sight
was witnessed. A gentleman was brought
in his casketT one afternoon and placed
in the room set apart for that branch of
the business. The proprietor lived over
his premises, and on this espec fal even
ing was giving a grand ball.
When the ball was at its height a
gentleman in full evening dress suddenly
joined tine company He danced with
the wife of the undertaken and he danced
with the undertakers daughter, and
seemed TO be thoroughly enjoying him
self. t1s
The undertaken thought he knew his
face, but did not ike to be rude and ask
him his name but by and by all the
guests departed, and the strange gentle
man was the only one left. Shall I

How to Move a Balky Horse.

How to move a balky horse has long
been an unsclyed problem. The ancient
philosophers tackled it, and generally re-
tired from the field with broken shins or
their front teeth kicked in by a Greek
horse.
The other day a reporter saw a fine
mouse colored animal, eeared to a stylish
turnout, on Broadway, with eight or ten
men trying TO get him to move IN. One
man had him by the bit, another by the
tail; a couple Of men put their shoulders
against his ribs and heayed as if they
were trying to propel a hat-boat, but the
animal was as u~nmovable as civilization
in China.
When everybody was in despair the
proverbial stranger appeared and step
ping out Of the crowd, said to the driver
in tones a. smooth a. cIstOr-oil
"IIl show you. how to make that horse
60"
The driver retired and the stranger
grabbed the horse confidently by the
mouth, opened it as if i, was bank vault
monkeyed around with the insides ofthe
animals jaw for a few minutes then seiz-
ed the beast by the bride, and, 10 the
7-by-0 establishment of the crowd watch
ing the boys with their hands on their
watches, the horse started OF az a Eve
mile-an-hour gait, drawing the carriage
after him with perfect ease.
The success Of the strangers method Of
~persuading a balkv horse 70 resume his
journey without further deliberation was
80 surprising that the reporter asked the
stranger how he did il.
cts very simple" said the horse-tam-
ing magician "Of course you didn't
see me, but ! took a chip Of woop, which
l picked mp from the sidewalk, and placed
it under the horses tongue. The presence
Of that pieces Of pine chip diverted the
horses attention. lie forgot all about

Ten year later.

Ten years later.
At the exhibition Of machinery in the
Centennial Exposition one remarkable
invention challenged a continual interest
and admiration. 1t combined the appli-
cation of a principle which, though often
tried, had never before succeeded. One
morning a distinguished looking foreign
er paused among the crowd of spectators
standing before it. On his arm leaned a
beautiful girl, evidently his daughter. As
it happened, a group of gentlemen were
discussing its peculiar exc~ellencies and
their remarks being in their own native
tongue, attracted .heir attention.
"These Americans" said one, =" carry
off the palm everywhere for mechanical
ingenuity"
But said another, 4" this name is not
an American one. | see moi why it should
be in this particular department"
at has a right here. was the answer,
"fJr Mr.. FriedhoIfs talent received its
first impetus in this his adopted country,
of which he has become a ~naturalized
citizen
"Irmengarde-for it vas indeed Nor
den's sister-gave a sudden start.
Father" she whispered, did you
hear? Can it be Norden?"
Just then the crowd parted and a SPLEEN
~did-looking man, in the prime of life,
came toward them. One look was suf-
ficient.
"Faher p " Ny son ~ burst simultane-
ously from their lips. 1t was indeed Nor
den Friedholf who had won this proud
triumph, and who had distanced all com
p%etitors.
81 was waiting" he said, after the first
greetings were over, "to see what treat
ment should be meted out to this child
of my brain. Then, if successful, l was
coming home to you and Irmengarde,
and to the dear old place"
Another hour found them at Norden's
home,
In the beautiful, dignifed woman who.
came forward to receive them, it would
have been hard to recognize the startled
girl in her peasant dress, whom Norden
had introduced to them so suddenly as
his wife on that never-to-b e-forgotten
morning, long ago.
Hilda had come to the New World
with an ideal to attain to, as well as Nor
den. 1t was to render herself worthy of
him, and of the proud old name he had
bestowed upon her, and she had spared
no pains to accomplish herself.
Now she was richly rewarded for in
parting the nobleman kissed her first
upon one cheek, then upon the other,
saying in his courtly way
Good night, my daughter. ] hope it
will not be long before Norden brings
you to your rightful place as mistress of
Dorm Castle. My Irmengarde here only
waits for you to take the keys as lady
ch~atelaine to leave her old father. She
is betrothed, and will soon be married.
