A Blushing Drummer.

New York Press.
viii Hansard, a travelling sales
man of Louisville. KY, was recent
ly pursuing his calling in Bed and
Harlans counties. These two coun-
ties are The most mountainous and
thinly inhabited in the State. Just
before starting back to Louisville
he passed the night al farm house
in Harlan. When he went to bed
he hung his trousers on chair near
the window. Next morning the
trousers were gone, and no one
knew where. Some one passing in
the night had reached III at the
window and taken them, for his
host was above suspicion.
Mr. Hansard called loudly for
the farmer, expecting TO borrow a
pair of trousers from him. His wife
came to The door and SAID lha. her
husband had gone hunting an hour
before, and rs he had only one pair
of trousers he had very naturally
worn them. Here was a dilemma,
5ul his hostess, who was a woman
of expedients, solved it. She came
to to the do with one of her
mother hubbards and suggested
that the drummer put it one. lie
consented. She tossed the gar
menl to him and closed the door.
He GOT into the mother hubbard,
went out TO The stable, hitched up
his team and climbed into his bug
gy. Here he took it off and hand
ed il back to The kindly old lady,
who was full Of sympathy for him.
The buggy concealed his lower ex-
tremilies, and he wrapped his lin
ell duster arouud them 10 keep
them warm.
Mr. Hansard drove quickly to
| the nearest store, about four miles
away, to buy a pair OF trousers
there, tor all The country stores
keep ready-made clothing. When
he got there he found numerous la
dies, who had congregated to see
the opening Of some new goods.
He could not leave his buggy, but
he yelled for the proprietor to come
out, and to him he made known
his predicament. The merchant
brought 10 him five or SIX pairs OF
trousers. He drove. TO neighbor-
ing hollow. tried them ON, found a
pair TO fit him, and thus his tribu-
latIons were ended.

Some people have a prejudice
for such feasts as 'possum suppers,
but those who have the weakness
are almost fanatical in their taste.
Just here it is well TO recall the
conversation that occurred be-
tween two darkles, who were fell
lowtravelers in IA certain direction.
One had asked The other what he
considered the finest dish he had
ever eaten.
With due promptitude he re-
piled, and mentioned everything
that was suggested 10 his mind.
But his appetite was evidently not
aroused, as his companion after
wards found ont.
After relating, or stating every
thing tempting that occurred TO
him, his companion said:
well, de finest thing l eber eat
was 'possum. Jes' git big, fat,
juicy 'possum, bake him Til de
grease runs all over The plate, let
him be good done and brown, den
have Eaters packed all round bak-
ed we'll IN de grease
The other one couldn't stand it
any longer. Stopping his compan-
ion at this point, he said;
"Look here, Niger, if you don't
quit talkin' bout dat, Pm gwinter
fall otf'n dis mule right here"
This indicates how irresistible
the 'possum is when properly bak-
ed and served, and no one is to be
censured for having highly culti-
waited taste for this rich meat.

NAPoLEoN's QUESTION. - When
Napoleon was returning from his
campaign in Egypt and Syria, he
was seated one night upon the deck
of the vessel under the open cano-
py of the heavens, surrounded by
his generals. The conversation
had taken IA skeptical turn and
most of the party had combatted
the doctrine of the divine exist
enee. Napoleon sat silent and
musing, apparently taking no IN
teresl in the discussion, when, sud
denly raising his hand and point
ing to the crystalline armament,
crowded with blazing planets and
glittering stars. he broke out In
those startling tones that had so
often electrified a million men !;

In Nashville a few days ago
Judge Ridley, of the criminal
court, instructed his grand jury TO
indict the ladies connected with
The church rattle. In his charge TO
the Jury he was especially severe,
saving that as long as the mothers
of the Young encouraged this form
of gambling, il was no wonder that
their sons should take naturally to
# when offered IN other forms. The
charge OF the judge was quite ex.
tensively commented upon, and
fayorabiy 50. 1t was believed that
the ladies thus indicted should not
be punished, but should be leciur-
ell before the bar OF the court aud
admOnished TO sin thusly no more.

In discussing the more important sub
jects upon which congress slikely to take
action during this session, it is gratifying
to observe that the interests of the west
are those uppermost in the minds of the
law makers at this time. The west is
growing nobly in the direction of com.
manding respect from other quarters Of
the union, especially from the far east
and the chances are that never again will
national legislation assume that jug
handled character that prevailed up to
two years ago. The west is growing in
strength and dignity as we'll as in popu-
lation.

CHRISTMAS TIDE.

The season of holiday gifts, social
reunions, and renewal OF good will
is fully come again to cheer men
by remembrance Of the past years,
ii not by the enjoyment of the pres
ent. Every one anticipates Christmas
now. For weeks busy fingers of women
and children have been preparing those
tokens of love and friendship, which,
having occupied so many hours OF indus
try and kindly thought, are after all
the most priced gifts. The savings OF
children for their lighter purchases from
their small earnings, or pocket money,
are expressions of interest and atie ction
which these days bring to happy recol-
lection. The gifts from the hardly-earned
wages of earths toilers replace the needed
comforts for their wives and children
which the wear and tear of the year have
exhausted. The lavish exchanges OF those
whom fortune has favored with wealth and
abundance, dispel many heartburnlng
OF envy, pride, or rancor which social
distinctions and rivalries have engen-
dered in luxurious homes.
These gifts, i'll the name of Heavens
greatest gilt, and in honor of human love,
respect and sympathy, are OF priceless
value to our lives, in that they clear from
mems lives in some good measure the re-
proach of scltshness, ingratitude and i'll
will which incessant effort for earthly
good and harsh competitions for place,
wealth or favor, bring upon our charac-
tiers.
We are reminded that the time is short.
The year has brought changes to every
one. Some are painful and bitter to con-
template and to endure. Those lives OF
suffering, weakness and disappointment
which have been near us are drawing to
their end. Many have already been fin
ished. The strong arm of the husband is
no longer extended for support. The
tender care and loving thoughtfulness Of
the wife is missed. The playful lives Of
children have faded from our sight. The
hours Of companionship are for man!
others already numbered. The oppor
tunlties for the exercise of the greater
virtues and sraces Of home life are quicky
passing with the fleeing days. The spirit
of the Christmas time is to give pleasure
rather than to receive it. Sweet memories
perhaps too soon returning, will be the
reward when the light of loving eyes has
forever ceased TO shine upon our paths.
