Betrayed by II Goose.

A young man over in Brushyalley
township was desperately in love with
farmers daughter, says the Punxsu-
tawney (Pa,) Spirit. She reciprocate1
the tender passion, but her father was
sullen and obdurate and gave the
young man to understand in the most
emphatic terms that if he ever entered
that house it would be at his peril. He
would, he said, "kick the daylights out
of him.
One night recently, when the old
gentlemen had gone to Indiana to be
absent over night, the Young man took
advantage Of his absence to visit the
daughter. They were sitting in the
front room, beaming with joy. It was
nearly midnight. Presently the daugh-
ter heard noise which she recognized
as her fathers footsteps. There was Il
bed in the room, and the girl drew
back the calico curtains and told the
young man to hustle under. lie did

there was goose under there engaged
in Il lnotherly effort to hatch out q doz-
en- young gosi;rgs. Scarcely had the
young man gotten himself securely
slowed away when the girl S father en-
tered. Just about this time the old
goose made Kissing noise, drew back
its long neck and struck the already
frightened intruder smart blow on the
left eal, nippins piece out. That was
enough. He was sure he had been
bitten by Il snake, and, with a blood
curdling yell, the young man rushed
from his hiding place, screaming at the
Top Of his voice:
Shake. Snake. I'm bit by a snake !
and don't care dang who knows it "
And the clandestine lover made
break for the door and ran home with
furious speed, yelling at every jump.
The old man was at first very much
startled at the strange apparltion, but
lie soon realized he situation, and both
himself and daughter laughed heartily.

On Another EIrr:asld.

A Vermont Baptist minister who is
not too grave and dignifed to enjoy a
good joke, even when it is on himself,
narrates a ludicrous incident Of his ear
ly life. Soon after being settled over a
new congregation, he one day received
a note asking him to be at home that
evening at eight o'clock. The writer
added that he intended to be married
at that hour, and would call at the par.
sonage with his bride.
1t was few minutes before eight
o'clock when the door bell rang, and a
moment later, the servant announced
that a young couple awaiting the min
lister in the parlor.
Going down into the parlor, accom-
panied by his wife, the pastor found a
neatly dressed, intelligent appearing
young man and Il bright looking young
woman, who arose to receive him.
Il am Mr.. Homer" said the young
man, and this is Miss Cross.
Having another engagement for the
evening, the minister said, Immediately,
/ received your note this morning and
We will proceed with the ceremony at
once. Please Join your right hands.
In great bewilderment. which the
minister mistook for natural embarrass-
ment, the young couple timidly cIasped
hands, and the ceremony was about to
begin when the young man said
we--what ceremony is 1T?
I Why, the ceremony OF marriage, Of
course ..-..-...
O-o-o-h ! shrieked the young lady,
Withdrawing her hand, and covering
her face with her handkerchief.

the young IDan, sharply. we came
here simply as committee from the
Young Peoples Society OF the Metho,
dist Church to ask you and your wife
to be present at the public entertain.
mcnt We are about 10 give, and
1t was now the ministers turn to say
600 h. and he said it in genuine rs.
. ton!shment at the very moment that
the na'd ushered i'll the youns coupe
who had matrimonial intentions.
The mistake evidently started the
first young couple into new lines of tho
for year later, their own pastor being
i'll, they called upon the Baptist pastor
and did not protest that he WAS going
too far when he again asked them to
join hands.

THERE'S NO DEATH.

There is no death! The stars 60 down
TO rise upon some faircr shore;
And bright in heayen's jeweled crown
They shine forevermore
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks dsorganize
TO feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life.
From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall.
The flowers tadc and pass away
They only wait through win.ry hours
The coming Of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent thread;
lie hears our best beloved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all dcsolatc;
He plucks our fnircst, sweetest flowers
Transplantel into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers. .-...
The birllkc voice, whose Joyous tones
Make glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now her everlasting song
Amid the Tree of Life.
And when lie secs smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for taint of vice,
He bears it to that world Of light,
TO dwell! in Paradise.
Born into that undylng life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them tho same,
Except in bin aud pain
And ever near US though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread
For AL the boundlc.s universe
Is Liic-therc are no dead!

Mr.. Grasper's heir opened his eyes

But cried young Solomon, this is
absolute folly, my dear sir
NO, Sir, it is not folly. The case is
a very simple one. Mr. Grasper was
so miserly as to astonish everybody
when he died from disease and rather
than from the perpetual fast which he
seemed to infict upon himself. And it

l saw two women jugglers at Jeypore,
writes Frank G.. Carpenter. They were
bright, intelligent-looking girls, one of
whom appeared almost old enough to be
the mother of the other. They did many
ing up sand in water and then putting
the hand into the discolored fluid. they
brought handful of sand, which they
filtered Trough their fingers as dry
as before it went in. The youngest
fo these girls was perhaps fifteen.
She was tall, we'll formed and fine-look-
ing. She had bracelets on arms and on
feet, and her eyes were as beautiful as
those of a gazele. One of her tricks was
the lifting of II heavy chair by her eye
lids, the thought of which almost makes
my eyes sore. The chair was heavy
mahogany one, which belonged to the
room in which L was staying. She tied
two strong strings to the t. p of this and
affixed the ends of these strings to her
eyes by little round cups, each about
the size of nickel. These fitted over the
eyeballs and under the lids, and she
bent over while they were so fastened.
Raising herself, she pulled up the chair
with these strings with the muscles of
her eyelids and carried it from one side
of the room to the other 1t was hor-
rible sight, and MS she took the metal
cups from her eyes they filed with water
and she almost sank to the floor. / told
her the trick..was disgusting, and that she
ought never to try it again. Still for all
this and the rest of the show these girls
were well satisfied with two rupees Oh
about 70 cents.

A Chiropodist Has His Say

"Year before last Ihad two wome
patrons to one man" said chiropodist.
"But last year, and so far this year,
the falling off in the former patronage
has been more than one half. But
there has been no decrease in the num-
ber of my male customers. How do [
account for all this, Easily. Fashion
in shoes is responsible for it. A year
and half ago the high, narrow French
heels were the fashion i'll woman's shoes,
and they are one OF the best friends q
chiropodist can have. They are regu-
lar and rapid breeders of corns. No
woman can wear pair of such shoes
long without looking up a corn doctor.
But the low fiat heel is now the
fashion. If the rest of the shoe fits the
foot, the heels are the natural enemy of
corns and the chiropcdist has to suffer.
1t is generally believed that woman are
more vain of their feet than men are of
theirs, but my experience has shown
me that quite the contrary is the fact.
Men will insist in making their foot
look small, and any shoe that will do
that is the fashion for them. The mar
row-toed or ''toothpick' style of mems
shoes, worn now as much as ever, will
always insure the corn doctor living,
especially if the shoes are patent leather.
A patent leather shoe, for some reason,
will call corn into being much quicker
than an ordinary shoe:
The fellows who don't have corns are
those who wear roomy-toed shoes.
But they mustn't be too large. shoe
too large is as bad as one too small. An
diversified shoe makes corns on the bot
tom of the feet, and they are the worst
kind. The late war was the greatest
corn-c curer ever known. l never knew
of single case of a soldier in that war
who suffered from corns, and l was all
through it. If law should be passed
that no shoe should be worn in this
country but the pattern army shoe of
the rebellion, the corn doctors occupa-
tion would be gone.

Misunderstanding Drugs.

An insanity specialist, in recent con
versation as to the number of young men
and women at present in asylums from
the use of opium, morphine, coacine and
kindred narcotics, stated that the subject
had given him more tronble than all
other forms of insanity combined He
said, that among his patients We're those
whose minds had become unbalanced
through drink, family Affections, bust
ness losses and from other causes, but
the worst cases were those whose minds
We're destroyed through the use of mar
cotics. The number of patients from
this cause is rapidly increasing, and it
is said that there have been more men
and women committed during the last
six months for dementia occasioned by
drugs, than there We're for the same
reason during the ten previous years.
1t is beyond question that narcotics are
n more prolific source of insanity than
all other causes combined.

UNDER THE BRIDGE,

My face was whittier than the dead;
My teeth were clinched; my staring ewes,
My ringing ears, my swimming head
We're held by horrid sights and cries,
As DER the bridge we swiftly sped,
As o'or that awful bridge we sped
Below, n gulf where waters raced;
Where waters poured, and somber death
Rode side by side the denthly fnced,
With bowling wrath and urid breath;
Where pity was n thing misplaced,
And hope to mockery debased.
Hooked, as awful horrors passed,
And saw little child in prayer
Upon u raft that drifted fast.
She was alone, aud yellow hair
streamed round her on the whrling blast,
Streamed out to kiss the cruel blast.
As by some loving mothers knee,
Her tiny hands were raised to God
Her face was raised in gentle plea
Beneath the heavenly Fathers rod
cruel fate for such as She
"Oh, set her free, and chasten mel''
In vainl for as her golden locks
Flashed here and there saw the sign,
She vanished where the whirlpool mocks--
She vanished with brow divine.
With nimbus formed of golden locks
She passed from sight beneath the rocks.
Twas but second that she cleaned
Upon me as the train flew by;
Twas but one ray of glory straamed
Where glorious thousands came to die.
But ah, 80 young, so sweet she seemed
