Changed the Babies.

In Nordhausen there is cafe in which
one room is specially reserved for the
cabmen belonging to the rank outside.
The other evening the large hall of the
cafe was hired for fete, and after
supper, when dancing began. those
fathers and mothers who had brought
their babies with them found that.the
latter interfered with their enjoyment.
The perambulators containing the sleep
ing infants were accordingly pushed into
the adjoining cabmen's room to be out
of the way. The cabmen, angry at the
infantile invasion, demonstrated, but, as
no notice was taken of their objections.
they hit upon a plan of revenge. Wait
ing till the pleasure seekers were COM
pletely engrossed with their dancing,
they secretly changed the babies. When
the fete was over, the parents came,
looked out their own perambulators,
and wheeled them home; but found, to
their horror and amazement, when they
lifted out the occupants, that they had
cot the wrong babics.-Court Circular.

The Natives Of serapit.

The population of Serapit turned out

might fairly be termed good looking.
But the older members of the COM

at the same time called an old colored
man among the crowd to come up and
stand beside the boy. He did so, and the
auctioneer then said:

is free man. He wants to buy the boy
and take him to his home and make him

watched the proceedings for n minute

dwelt upon the bid of $500, and was

when, from the outskirts of the crowd,

once turned in the direction of the bid
der, who was a rough dissipated look

appearance. The auctioneer paused

peated his previous statement concern

mark that S400 was all the money he
had. and now" said lie, 81 am bid

the lips of the auctioneer. The shouts
of Withdraw your bid" were repeated
in angry tones on every side.
"Well," said the bidder, II with

The auctioneer quickly went back to
the original bid, on which he dwelt two
or three times, when down went his
hammer. "Sold at four hundred. Old
man, the boy is yours; take him down."
The crowd cheered. and the principal
figure in this little drama who, the mo-
ment before, had been the picture of
despair, hurried down FROM the stand

Obituary.

GLEED. Many hearts in Vermont will be
made sad by intelligence of the death of
Mrs. Cornelia Ann Gleed widow of the late
Hon. Thomas Gleed of Morrsville, which
occurred on the 10th instant at Pueblo, Col.
where, 1t is understood, she had gone for her
health Mrs. Gleed was daughter of the
late Hon. Moses Fisk of Waterville, but her
married lie was spent at MorrisVille
where her memory will be fragrant for long
years to come. A few years subsequent to
the death of her husband, and Just after the
close OF the war, she removed with her two
sons to Lawrence, Kansas, where and at
Topeka, her later life has been spent While
suffering from pulmonary disease nearly all
her HE long, she has, nevertheless furnished
remarkable example of maternal love,
heroic tortitude and Christian devotion.
Though consecrating her life primarily to
the education of her sous, and training
them with all true mothers devotion for
the best ends in life, she nevertheless shed
the radiance of her pure spirit brave and
yet tender heart and overcoming faith on
ali who came within the circle of her in
tluence. Nor was her life-work in vain, as
for years she has been permitted to wear
the mothers crown Of joy in seeing her
sons, with y-developed and established
characters, take high rank in professional
life. 1t is needless to add that the end of
such life was peace!

the butter scored 100 points, or perfect, and
was the only butter in the eighty exhibits
entered that reached this point. His butter
was given first premium in class three, the
dairy sweepstakes and the grand sweep

strong point in favor of the Cooley process.
Cooley butter also took the first premium
