writer in Brooklyn Life, about the for.
mer assistant rector of one of the
largest Episcopal churches in the city.
Tho gentleman in question Is now tho
president Of college 30 far away that
he con not mind If relate the incident
He was jolly good fellow when he
lived In boarding house here, and in
his of hours was accustomed to Join in
with the other good fellows of the house
at friendly game of whist or q smoke.
One evening when he was out at serv-
Ice two OF tho wa9s of tho establishment
remembered that it was his invariable
habit upon returning home to doff his
roundabout vest and clerical coat, put
on an old smoking jacket and encase his
Feet in pair OF morocco slippers, which
latter always occupied the Same posi-
tion on his bedroom floor, preparatory
to his coming. Accordingly, they firmly
nailed these slippers TO the floor, and
awaited results in tho next room.
Presently the dominic returned.
They heArd him moving about; they
heard the thud Of his shoes as thoy were
taken OIL and thrown down, and then all
was silence. They peeked cautiously
In, and there beheld tho young clergy
man standing in his slippers, his face
white as . sheet, and look of horror
upon 1t, his eyes staring straight ahead.
The light was too much for them, but
they managed to suppress their laugh
ter and ask In tono Of anazement what
the matter was.
"Matter!' no gasped, "there is matter
enough. boys; I'm paralyzed, and can't
move hand or foot. For mercy's sake,

The man did actually, such is the
force Of imagination, believe he was
paralyzed for a moment or two, but he
finally set 'om up, in a manner appro-
pirate to his calling, by buying cigars
for the crowd.

He is as tonished to find the waves so much stronger, and current pulling at him, and he strikes out to return.

Hon. Samuel <. Randall, of Penn sylvania. whose death was recently announced, will take high rank in American history as statesman, a patriot and q parliamentary leader. He was not 8 scholar, but he was man of fine intellect. keen percep- tions. immense capacity for work, unninching courage. and rugged in icgritv. In war brave ana faith ful soldier. in peace he wa- ever a sturdy champion of good government and the peoples rights. On the floor of Congress and in the Speaker $ chair his services were important and distinguished. The most strik- ing feature in NIT. Randalfs charac- ter was ms perfect integrity. He would not make a dollar ny indirec- ton. Looking back upon a long career of public service commencing before the war in the Common Council of Philadelphia and running through many sessions in Congress, in some of which jobbery ran riot, Mir. Randall, as he lay upon his desth-bed. had the satisfaction of knowing that he had been aggress- lively and robustly honest, and had not for his personal profit willfully wronged either the government or any fellow-citizen to the extent of a dollar. He lived as befittcd his in- come. Social allurements betrayed him into no excesses. His home was modest, his life temperate. He died leaving no great estate Chi cago Ledger.

Cornfield Philosophy.

You cannot make a mark on q black cat with a piece of charcoal. It does not hurt some men To have the truth told on them.
 The kick from the mule will hurt you none the less because it was aimed al someone else.
 l. does not pay to cross the river before you get to it, but at the same time it is we'll to make some inquir- ies about the bridges or the location of the shallowest ford.
 Lying may be always wrong, but telling unnecessary truths IS not al- ways commendable.
