Trials of a Conductor.

''The life of the conductor Of the present
day is much pleasanter than that of the con-
5uctor of former years." said a cable line
superintendent yesterday. Il remember the
time when a conductor would work sixteen,
seventeen and even eighteen hours day in or
der to make living. Now it is changed and a
man can work ten hours and live comforta-
bly,. The man in charge of a car, especially
a cable train, has more to contend with than
one occupying the same position on q horse
ear As general thing, those who ride on
cars are ladies and gentlemen, yet there are
a few who are cranks and constitutional
kickers This is the class that takes more
delight in cheating conductor out OF five
cents than any one else out of one dollar.
81 often noticed while riding in grip that
men would get aboard and the conductor
would walk around on the footboard 80 col
lect the fares. These men never make mo-
ton towards their pockets. The conductor
looks at them suspiciously and they return
an innocant stare, and remark: i paid you
alreauy The gripman watches the proceed
ings quietly, and as the conductor is about to
turn away disguised, intending to pay the
money himself rather than nave any trouble,
points out the deadheads. Upon being &C
crlsed of nor-paynent of dues, the passengers
reluctantly hand over their nickels, and they
threaten to have the gripmsn and conductor
discharged fo- impertinence st. Louis Re-

The author Of "Wauderings in Wild
Country" gives some curious ideas with re-
gard to the celestial bodies, which he gath
cred from the natives of New Britain. The
''untutored mind" is evidently more irnagi-
native than scientific
In conversation one day with an old man
about the spirits of the deceased he told me
that the stars were lamps hung by the depart
ed spirits to light the way for those that
should come after. Where these spirits were
he did not say, and although 1 questioned
him closely on the subject, he seemed to have
no idea as to the sort of place to which they
come at last.
He only knew that they went across the
water to the moon at rising, and, getting into
this, were carried to the region of the stars,
whence they returned to visit the earth by
the same means.
l tried to puzzle him by asking him how it
was that the moon was sometimes large and
sometimes small he replied that when it
was small there were not so many spirits re-
curing to go, as it was at the full moon that
most people died. Naturally, that was also
the time when most spirits required to visit
the earth.-Youth's Companion.

THE ANeELus BELL OF FALSE RIVER.

Thrice upon the ear with solemn swell
Fab the pleading tones of the BELL
From the ancient steeple the tinnid dove
Awakens from its dream Of love,
And its startled nnete, hkea wounded thing,
Darts in air on a quivering wing.
Across the bright water the island CLOVIS
in rosy light and in soft Fepose;
Like enchanted scene its radiant shore
UPON the wave is pictured Ger.
Athwart the broad and tremulous river
The last rays of the sunlight culver;
Like human blessings after taking flight
They leave behind them a track Of light
gaze on the scene and lingering muse
Until twilight its shadows difuse-
Till no echo of the Angelus bell
Reaches the ear with its solemn SWELL
