The Sheep Herder's Life.

The sheep herder's life. to say the
least is a hard me-. He lives in a
tent the year round, and often for
weeks at a time entirely alone. The
sheep require constant attention to
keep them from straying and 10 pro-
tect them from the wolves and CO.
votes. Out in the blazing sun all day,
with no friendly shade trees, and re
turning at night to bis tent, he has TO
do his own cooking and washing and
other work of the camp. AS the grass
is thin and scattering, the herd has to
be kept constantly ON the move. which
makes the additional labor Of NOV
ing camp at least every ten days. The
herder is a stranger to even the COM
mon comforts and convenience of
life, and is deprived of all the benefits
of society and friends. His bed is on
the ground. His blankets and cloth
ing become soiled and dirty.
Often water is very scarce and he is
thankful if he can get enough TO make
his tea He is from forty 70 one hun
dred miles from any postofice. He
has no knowledge ofwhat is going on
in the world, and seldom keeps the
run Of the day, week or month. He
must get his own breakfast and be out
by daylight as that is the time the
flock are on the move. Often at night
he has TO be out to prevent the herd
from being scattered by coyotes and
other enemies. When added TO all
this are the fierce winds and fearful
cold Of the Wyoming winter, when he
must pitch his tent upon the open
plains with no fuel but the scanty
roots Of the sage bush, surely his oc-
cupation is not q desirable one. II
asked what compensation there is for
all bis hardships and p~rivation, !
should have TO give it up.-Forest and

Comedian and Philosopher.

Some years ago students of the Co
lumbia Law school, New York, no.
ticed that every Saturday morning a
stranger occupied a place in the hall
devoted to the literary curse. He
WI a fine appearing gentleman of
40 years, apparently, who listened TO
the lectures on literature with great
attention and took voluminous notes.
Week after week and month after
month this quiet but evidently well
trained gentleman was seen in his &C
customed place. His presence excited
no little attention, and his identity nc
little conjecture. His mobile and
smooth shaven face looked strangely
familiar TO the students. but they
couldn't place" it.
Suddenly on, one day, a b~oisterous
young nan who had attended the the.
atre the night before startled everybody
in his neighborhood by exclaiming in
an audible whisper.
"By Georgel I'll tell you who that
quiet fellow is"
And he did. II was Francis Wilson,
the comedian Of the Casino company,
who was improving his shining hours
in q way that would have done credit
10 a philosopher. And yet We see no
reason why a comedian should not be
considered a very iovial philosopher.

He Lost His Job.

Klager, the famous actor, was en-
gagged to play the part of Gessler in
civilian Tell" at the Leipsic theatre.
Being a great favorite with the stu
dents, he sat boozing one afternoon
with several rich undergrads from
Courland. When the time for the
performance drew near, his boon COM
panions tried 10 persuade him from
going TO the theatre, but as he re
manned proof against their ~entreaties,
one of the gentlemen offered TO stand
three hampers Of champagne il Klager
was not back at the tavern by
o'clock. To the establishment of the
company Klager preferred to pay for
the champage himself If he did not re-
turn by that time, says q foreign ex.
change.
AS he could not possibly have been
struck down by Tells arrow at the
hour stated, the jovial party wondered
how he would get over the difficulty,
and accompanied him to the theatre.
Here the action of the play went on
much as usual until the scene of the
apple. But when Tell said: Am /
compelled 10 aim with my cross bow
at the head of my child7 Rather will !
diel" Gessler went up TO him, shook
him by the hand and said: II really
cannot blame you, Tell, l wouldn't do
IL myself; let us be friends" OF
course the curtain was dropped.
Klager was back at the tavern by s
o'clock and won his bet. but naturally
lost his engagement at the Leipsic the
atre.-New York Telegram.

canses and Increase of nIinhne...

DR.. Lucien Howe, Of Buffalo, read
a report from the committee appointed
two years previously 10 make invest.
cations in this line. They had found
that the number Of blind was rapidly
increasing in proportion 10 population.
and more so the further south one
went, and especiallyin the states Of
Nebraska, Arizona, Nevada and Da-
kota. Most OF the existing blindness
was due TO infectious diseases Of the
cornea and conjunctiva. Emigration
was increasing the number of those
going about with MISREPRESENTATION
Of the eye, such as trachoma, which
was common among the lower Irish.
They urged that the duty Of cleaning
the eyes Of children after birth should
be made mor familiar 10 the public.
In asylums and schools, children hav.
ing such diseases should be quaran-
tined. A similar regulation should DO
enforced in barracks and prisons. :

The small boy was fond OF music
and there vas an opera In town. II
was Sunday night, but he stole out,
having been refused permission by his
mother, and got away down in front
by the iddles. He sat there listening
delightedly, when he turned around
and suddenly discovered his father all
alone in the next occupied seat DE
made no excuse. He looked up and
nodded pleasantly.
"How do you do, sirG"
"Whatl Joseph
"Yes, SIR"
"Does your mother know you are
here7"
'No, sir. She wouldn't let me
come"
sand aren't you-well-ahem"-
A sense Of justice struck the old
man, and the small boy knew he was
quite safe. So they enjoyed the opera
together. and then they started home.
There was an awkward silence between
them. The small boy waited for his
father TO speak.
"Aheml Joseph-we viii not-it
would be better-that is-you needn't
allude to this matter before your mo-
Their"
"No, sir"
There was another long pause.
Again the old man spoke, hesita-
tingly; -,
"Aheml Joseph, how-how-did
you get out OF the house this even
ingf
by the back door, sir"
"Well-ahem-Joseph, wem 60 in by
the back way quietly, and not disturb
the household"
And they went in the back way.
Next morning at breakfast the two
met without any sign. The mother
spoke up;
"Mr. Smith, | am sure | do not
know whatever is TO come Of that boy
Joseph
what is the matter, my dearl"
'Do you know he actually came and
asked me 10 let him 60 TO the opera
last night-Sundayl"
"You refused, OF coursel"
Certainly what a question"
Then the father sternly turned to
the boy.
Joseph, | am surprised. Are there
not enough week days for you to 60
to the opera that you must go on Sun
daysl"
ayes, sir. And | was going to ask
you TO give me some money TO go to-
night"
The old man looked at the small
boy, who was ingeniously looking up
in his face, and said nothing; but
when they left the table he took him
by the ear and said:
"You young rascal, | suppose you
are going to bleed me for tickets every
nightl'
ayes, sir" said the boy, candidly.
And he got them.-San Francisco

Sir Boyle Roche.

Perhaps a few particulars about Sir
Boyle Roche, the high priest OF Irish
'bulls," might be interesting 10 your
readers. He was Of the ancient family
of the De La Russes, of Fermoy, was
member for Tralee from 1775, and was
created a baronet in l7S2. He began
one Of his speeches in the Irish house Of
commons as follows: "Mr. Speaker, it
is the duty of every true lover of his
country TO give his last guinea to save
| the remainder Of his fortunes" And
| another began: "Sir, single misfor-
tunes never come alone, and the great
est of all national calamities is gener-
ally followed by n much greater"
A letter Of his is still preserved, sup
posed to have been written during the
rebellion of '9S, though it is doubtful
If he ever put so many bulls" to-
gether on paper. II is a follows:
''DEAR SIR-Having now a little
peace and quiet, | sit down to inform
you Of the hustle and confusion we are
in from the bloodthirsty rebels, many
Of whom are now. thank God, killed
and dispersed. Weare in a pretty mess,
can get nothing TO eat, and no wine to
drink except whisky. When we sit
| down to dinner we are obliged to keep
both hands armed. While ! write this
! have my sword in one hand and my
pistol in the other. | concluded from
the beginning that this would be the
end. and ! am right, for it is not half
over yet. At present there are such
goings on that everything is at a
standstill. | should have answered
your letter a fortnight ago, but ! only
received it this morning. Indeed,
hardly a mail arrives safe without be-
ing robbed. No longer ago than yes
terday, the mail coech from Dublin
was robbed near this town; the bags
had been very judiciously left behind,
and by great good luck there was no
body in the coach but two outside pas
sengers who had nothing for the
| thieves 10 take. Last Thursday, an
| alarm was given that a gang Of rebels
in full retreat from Drogheda were adj
vancing under the French standard;
but they had no colors mol any drums
except bagpipes. Immediately every
man in the place, including women
and children, ran out to meet them.
We soon found our force q great deal
too little, and were far too neal to
think Of retreating. Death was in
every face, and 70 it we went By the
time half our party was killed, we be-
gan TO be all alive. Fortunately the
rebels had no guns except pistols,
cutlasses and pixies, and we had plenty
of muskets and ammunition. Weput
them all TO the sword, not a soul Of
them escaped, except some that were
drowned in an adjoining bog. In fact
in a short time nothing was heard but
silence. Their uniforms were all diff.
ferent, chiefly green. After the ac-
ton was over we went TO rummage
their camp. All we found was a few
pixies without heads, a parcel OF empty
bottles filled with water, and q bundle
of blank French commissions, filled
with Irish names. Troops are now
stationed round, which exactly squares
with my ideas Of security. Adieui !
have only time to add that ! am yours

Eject of Imagination.

That the Imagination has much TO do
in governing our physical welfare can
not be denied. We see too many in
stances Of it, The doctor who testified
on the witness stand a few days ago
that the profession frequently gave pa
tients dough pills, or some other sub.
terfuge, and thereby relieved their
minds, told what was known by many
as the truth. People who imagine
they are sick must be madet TO imagine
that they are going through the nee.
essary course Of treatment. But I
know Of one peculiar case where a
man left home in perfect health, and
was made TO believe he was i'll by be-
ing frequently told that he looked very
bad. IL was a put up job and was done
TO test the effect Of Che Imagination.
The man became quite i'll before he
returned home, and merely because he
was made 10 believe he was so.-St.
