MY UNCLE PETER.

Ny old Uncle Peters q famous relater
or marvellous stories: but my Uncle Petae
is vigorous foe and a rigorous hater
OF vie and OF guile; he despises a cheater;
Hos frank and sincere on a very large scala,
And this is his manner OF telling tale:
~Oh, once in the chivalric days OF old,
In the wonderful long ago.
There dwelt giant full bad and bold
(Bpt this is not fact, you KNOW
In whose darksome dungeon a maiden fair,
Whom atrociously be had stole;
She languished and wept ito be candid, there
Was no such a girl, nor hole).
" But loi on a rapturous morn there rode
valorous kn ght that way;
His snowy palfrey he brave bestrode
Don't credit this fiction, pray,
And straight he sprang from the noble steed;
HIS sword IL cleaned in the sun,
And the dragon that guarded the gate "a
deed
Which he could by no means have done)
" He felled at blow, and with mighty force
He battered the dungeon wall,
And he seized the sorrowing maid! (of course
1t never transpired at alb
And he slew the giant the dauntless youth,
And the beateous maid he wed
CBut you mustn't imagine grain of truth
In single word that I've said)."
Oh, my old Uncle Peters famous relateri
But wish, goodness me! that my old Uncle
Peter
Could be rather more OF a prevaricator-
HIS stories would be more absorbing and
neater;
wish his integrity didn't prevail
In so stern dcgrre-when he's telling tale.

WISDOM OF A MULE:
He Knows when It IL Sunday and WIZ
Noon Comes Around

He Knows when It IL Sunday and Whon
Noon Comes Around.
Working animals, such rs horses and
mules. are generally kept on q cotton plan
eatlon In large open pen, says letter to
the Scientific American. In the center there
Is feed shed, containing trough for corn
and rafter for fodder overhead. Stock is
led only twice day-noon and night. By
sun-up, on work-days, the plow hands APP
pear, each to catch his "crItter," and the
forty or fifty mules at their sight move In
utter confusion around the shed hiding
behind one another. But how Is it on Sun
dayss There reigns then an arcadian peace
In the pen. Each mule is paired of with
his chum" "a selective affinity, no doubt),
in an angle of the rail fence, head and tail
together. The object is practical exempli-
hcation Of the golden rule To enjoy an I'M
troubled siesta each head secures immunity
from the fly pest by close proximity to
his friends perpetuum mobile" Farm
hands may go in and out without producing
the least sign Of alarm But, should brides
appear, that disturbs only masters saddle
or carnage horses. AS to the mules, no
extra twitch in tail or ear shows the least
suspicion that their owner could possibly
be the victim Of q mistake With eyes
dropping and head on level with that of
his neighbours tail, his somnolent torpor is
picture Of trlst and safety. He knows it
IS Sunday. / remember well the amused
look OF my foreman, Essex, when asking
him his opinion on the subject: "Why, in
course" said he, "dey knows it's Sunday"
Pertinent to the above query is the other:
Do animals know noontimei For the sake
of its lively scene let US some forenoon go
into large field. Presently we are startled
from our reverie by an unearthly "Ee- hung,
ee-hunR, ee-ee-ee-hung, hung, hung" It is
the NeStor of the four-footers that calls
thus: Time for refreshment''-a signal
similarly seconded and approved in sue
cession by forty others. We look at our
time-piece, and sure enough the large
hand is about covering the smaller. 1t is
noon. The mule, however, is some min
utes ahead Of time. and there ensues a fear
full contest for the mastery between him and
the driver, which the distant dinner-horn
only ends.
Now how is it that the mule knows noon
timel Does he rely on the infallibility OF
his time-piece that warns him that it needs
reminding! Or has he noticed his equally
hungry partner, Sambo, who, when reach
ing the end of a row, hats a moment,
and turning face northward, anxiously
scans the shadow at his feetl Or is the
sensitiveness Of his back so delicate that he
can discriminate between oblique and YER
tical rsysi
We are prone to mystify, and because we
are unwilling to grant brute creation the
power Of reasoning we call their actions
that surprise US instinct" In the barn
yard, stable and field we never observe
this quality of instinct in the young. 1t is
only the old that become wise by expert
euca

WRECKED nY OPIUM.
4 wretohsa Victim on His Way tn 1,
- A.


1nobriAtee' Home.
The terrible sufferings which result from
the continued use of opium can probably
never be adequately realized except by
those who have actually experienced them.
Two New York Tribune reporters, how
ever, had these effects illustrated to them
short time ago in a manner they will not
soon forget 1t was near midnight, aud
they were on their way to their homes in
Brooklyn on Third avenue car. AS they
passed the City Hall q young man boarded
the car and took seat facing them. He
had bundle under his arm, and as he sat
down the reporters noticed that he was
slightly intoxicated. A friend had assisted
him on board, and as the car moved on
called after him. GOOD luck to youn The
young man, as soon as he had fairly seated
himself, leaned forward and, addressing
one OF the reporters, asked: Beg pardon.
Sir, but does this car go TO Third ayenxe
and Twenty-fifth street, down toward Fort
Hamiltonl" On being assured that it did.
he gave kind of half laugh, half sob. and
said: / suppose you know from INV cues
ton where am goingr'
why, no. was the reply; "unless you
are going down to the fortr
"No, am going down to the 1nebriates,
Home to try and redeem myself from the
curse Of drink and opium"
He was about twenty-seven or twenty
eight years Of age, neatly dressed and ap-
parently person of intelligence. His eyes
were bloodshot and had an uncertain stare
and his hands trsmbled violently. He
would talk for few moments in q rational
manner and then break of, shuddering and
gazing about him with a glare like
that of q wild beast at bay Then recover
ing himself with an effort he would continue
his talk where he had broken off, He said
that he had begun the use of opium about
two years ago and had used it almost con-
stantly since. For several weeks he had
been on an unusually long debauch. The
beginning of his trouble, he said, was drink.
Whisky and other liquors had ceased to be
strong enough to satisfy his craving, and
ne had begun to use opium as an additional
stimulant
:" 1t is the opium that has cursed me and
made life hell on earth,'' he said, tbut it
was whisky that led TO it. l have tried
often to give up opium and to redeem N.Y.
self, but the tortures l suffered were fright
full. 1t would seem as though a hundred
devils were fighting In my brain for posses
sion of me, and in despair have again and
again returned to its USE l am going down
to the Home now for three months and will
make desperate effort to make a man of
mySelI again IL can u do IT there / can
see no hope ahead. / know the struggle
will be terrible one, and that l shall suf-
Ter the fortunes of the Internal regions, but
it is my only hope. 1 used to be well off and
had fair prospect of a useful and success
full life, but 1t is pretty near a wreck now"
This was not said connectedly, as it has
been written, but was frequently inter
rupted at times when he seemed to lose con-
troll of himself, and when his appearance
and his actions were at once pitiful and ter
rible to witness
