Listening TO the Mocking Birds.

A writer who has recently visited
the Bridal Veil Falls in the Yosemite
Valley. thus speaks OF the mocking
birds found in that vicinity: millions
OF brown coated birds there were
everywhere, until the whole OF our
very nature seemed permeated with
their music. Sometimes low and
sweet, again sad and plaintive. and
then full, rich and triumphant like a
paan OF JOY and gladness, while we
looked at each other in wondering ST.
lence. Just as it seemed that the mel
ody was unexpectedly sweet. and that
our hearts could not contain more
without the relief Of tears or shouts,
the wind died away and the water
again struck with an awesome roar
into its rocky hollow with a force that
made the earth tremble, and was again
dashed to furious foam and the song OF
the mocking bird hushed. Thus IL
goes on. ever and ever, alternately,
and has for ages. the song OF the birds
and the thunoerous reverberation oil

Getting Ready for Colds.

Doesn't it beat all how people will
begin to muffie up their necks the
moment bit Of frost appears? One
notices this particularly while travel :
ling on the suburban trains. People
who live in the country are TO the man
ner born, and never bother with this
bundling up Of the neck and rende r
themselves liable TO colds, but it is
your city man who has a farm or place
in the country who comes into the
cars with a muller about his neck and
his coat collar up or clasps on ear
muffs before il is scarce time to dis
card straw hats, and then he wonders
where he got that cold, and If there
isn't something the matter with the
country after all. For he recalls that
he scarce ever had cold Of winter
while in the city. but now has the reg
ulation winter cold. What spectacle
il is TO see bankers and brokers and
booksellers aud business men gener'
ally hustling for their early morning
train, wrapped like mummies in their
expansive or expensive muffiers

THEY WORK THE COUNTRY.
That's How Dress Makers Get Rid
OF Leftover Material.

AT the end OF every season the dress
makers OF New York, says the Sun,
find that the y have large assortment
OF imported dresses and materials on
hand as left over" stock. In order
To make the business profitable, it
is necessary to create demand for
every yard of imported goods they
bring TO this country. When the sea-
son closes an enterprising salcswoman
is sent 20 the principal cities west or
south, taking with her an experienced
filter and sever | trunks full OF the
cleft over dresses. When she arrives
at the point on her projected route, she
goes 10 the most fashionable hotel in
town and engages the best suits OF
rooms 20 be had. Her next move is to
send out cards 10 the lie ding society
women OF the city, stating that the
representative Of Nine -- i'm Paris
and New York has arrived in town
with a large assortment Of imported
dresses anticipating the styles OF the
next season, and that the same will be
! presented to the consideration of all
who find it convenient to call. Then
the trunks are unpacked, ana the best
display made that the surroundings
will allow.
On the following day the rooms arc
crowded from 10 in the morning until
or q in the afternoon. a majority

which it was made is exhausted. As
she communicates daily with the New
York house, she is kept posted on all
such particulars.
While the saleswoman is gagged in
"crying up" the styles OF the left
over" dresses. the filter is equally busy
disposing OF the surplus.
Toward the end of the last Saratoga
season clever saleswoman from New
York gave an exhibition at one of the
leading hotels, and in less than week
succeeded in disposing of seventy five
dresses, besiIes taking orders for as

The Atheists Prayer.

When | was "A boy away in the noun
tains OF Pennsylvania, | knew an old
infidel who was eager to argue against
the existence OF God. That is what
infdelity hates, the existence Of God.
A young preacher, against the warn
ing of friends as to his abuses and his
obscenities, resolved to see that bla-
tant scoffer, and confronted him with
the truth Of God.
The sceptic was soon vociferating
against the idea OF there being a God.
He was sitting in his sawmill, just
over the lever that lifts as the saw
leaves the log, and while 2enouncing
the doctrine of a deity, that lever
sprang, catching him under the heels.
and flung him backward and down
ward headlong into the stream.
As he plunged, however, he shrek
ed out as loud as he could yell, "God
have mercy"
The preacher ran around, waded
into the water and pulled the strug-
Cling man ashore. Said the pastor:
IL thought that you did not believe
in a God" AS soon as the infdel
stopped struggling, he said in sub
dued voice:
"Well, # there isn't any God. there
ought to be. TO help a man when he
can't help himself. Vanguard.

THE XVI. PSALM.
EUGENE FIELD.

Our refuge and our strength is God,
Our help in time of trouble:
We will not fear, though tree and sod,
And mountain which we oft have trod,
Should cause the sea to bubble.

OF tabernacles, holy;
A city where does shine Gods face:
Soon she shall stand by his good grace
And nevermorc be lowly.
The heather ragged and did defy,
And moved were all the nations,
The earth was melted at His cry,
The God Of Jacob now is by,
The Lord of congregations.
Behold the works which God has wrought
In earth what great destruction
BY Him is made BY Him is brought
An end TO war, bow spear. are naught,
Are broke for our instruction.
"That am God be satisfied,
And high above all nations;

Tears on Tonlbstoncs.

Tears on tombstones tell the same
tale as the lachrymatories of the an
clients; and if they tell it after a sim
pier, rougher fashion, l cannot see
that their mode of expression is a whit
more absurd than the one which clas-
sic association has taught us to regard
with gravity. Throughout Normandy
it is usual to find black tears painted
on the white grave crosses, and white
tears on black ones; for tears must
surely be signified by the Prince Ru-
pert drop shaped figures which are
placed under, above or about so many
memorial inscriptions. No niggard
weeping is indicated thus, and not
modern altogether is the symbolism.
There are tear like figures in the
Bayeux tapestry, on the bed where the
defunct confessor lies. / am much
mistaken if l have not sometimes seen
spots intended TO represent tears on
that curious material Grape which,
both in this country and in France,
seems TO be indispensable to the outfit
of a complete mourner. Some time
ago / remember reading in a newspa-
per that in Pere la Chaise cemetery
there is a monument in the form of a
tear. The monument was erected by
a husband to his wife and bore the in
scription, Judge by that how 1 loved
her." l unfortunately do not remem-
Der the name of the paper or the date.

The conversation related TO a recent
railroad disaster in which several In
dianapolis people were injured.
Il remember a railroad man that at
tracted my attention by reason of his
fortitudo," said Judge Woods. 1T

ago in Iowa, and, by the way, we were
wrecked twice in one day. The Incl
dent occurred in the first wreck. 1t
was carly in the morning. l had gone
to the wash room, and was in the act
of turning on the water when the car
left the track and bounded roughly
over the ties. / looked out of the win
dow to see what kind Of a place we
were in, and was relieved TO find that
we were on level prairie land.
Presently the train stopped and l
hurried out of the door to see what
had happened. The car was the last
n on the train. The forward cars
had left the track, and were all lying
out on the prairie sidewise. The pas
sengers, rudely disturbed, were crawl
ing out Of the windows in fear and as
constituent. 1t was an extremely com
ical sight, if one can waive the seri-
business of such an affair, TO see a pas
sengor stick his head through q win
dow and emerge with an alfrighted
air. In observing this picture l did
not heed the conductor, who stood on
the platform with me and tried to turn
the brake. The other car in breaking
loose had violently iammed our brake,
and it was immovable.
"'Help me turn this brake the con

went about ministering to the wants

1t is told of q prominent business
man of the city that he bought through
a broker bonds to the amount of &c.
600, and on receiving them put them
into the outside pocket of his overcoat,
walked to the head of Milk street,
where he became entangled in crowd
and had the bonds stolen. AL this
was q somewhat exaggerated case of
carelessness, but what followed showed
that the man was a philosopher.
The usual steps were taken TO dis
cover and recover the missing securi-
ties, but when some days had passed
without any clew the owner began to
conclude that he should never hear of
them.
