The more prominent citizens Of small
western town had come together one
evening for the purpose of getting the
sentiment OF the community regarding
the purchase of a fountain for the park
in the center of the village.
Several men had expressed themselves
as heartily In favor OF the measure, when
penurious elderly resident, famous for
always opposing the majority, rose and
said in his squeaking, irritable voice:
"WelI, gentlemen, amt in favor OF
this founting business; no, sir, amt.
You've went and got park laid out that
the town didn't need, and now you want
to spend more money on useless old
founting. Well, now, sposing you git
your founting, and some day when
there's big crowd around looking at
that founting it blows up and kills four
or five people. and they come on the
town for damidges, then where will you
be with your fountIng? Then You'll wish
you'd never had any fountingl' Youths

On one occasion, in company with my
brother, had gone to the woods and
was there to wait for a farmer, at whose
house we had stopped over night, and
who was to come on later with fox
hounds, for we were to try for reynard
that day. We had got out Of the road,
which ran through the forest, and over
rail fence, and were standing under a
large hemlock, when we heard a ruff1ed
grouse in the distance. He came direct
ly toward us, and alighted on the ground
about forty feet away. There was a
small gully or water course between us
and the bird. Before he struck the
ground he had taken about two-thirds
of circle to break his lightning like
flight.
As soon as he Lit he Strengthened up
and took a survey. He soon saw us,
but instead Of again flying he swelled up
In most pompous manner. Never had
/ seen a grouse appear larger or more
magnificent. My brother looked at me
and I suggested that he snap cap at
him. Neither of our muzzle leaders was
charged. AT the sound of the first cap
the grouse slightly shook himself, but
seemed to swell his breast out more.
My brother continued taking caps from
his pocket, and swapping them at the
grouse, bringing his gun up each time
and taking deliberate aim until nine
were exploded. The grouse seemed to
like the sound and to be fascinated by
1t and the scene generally. The man
coming down the road with the dogs
alarmed him, and, turning, he ran sew
eral feet and took wing, and we heard
him going through the thick evergreens
away in the distance. = Forest and

The panther got his left arm in its
jaws and crunched it savagely, making
blood squirt out in streams Then Hugh,
for the first time, saw the rope around
its neck Grasping it desperately with
his free hand, he pulled on the moose
with all his might.
The suffocating pressure caused the
beast to let go his left arm, but in its
agony it tore pieces of flesh off his right
and threw him to the bottom Of the cut
ter.
With a frightful roar it crouched over
him, and its great paws tore at his breast.
All seemed lost, when the runaway team
turned o sharp corner. The cutter
swung too short and was overturned.
Out pitched Hugh, and the panther on
top Of him. But they did not remain to-
gether second, for while Hugh lay still,
exhausted, bruised and bleeding, the
panther was whislxed off his feet and
jerked head over heels after the cutter.
The rope was tied to the seat, as men,
toned before, and the furious gallop of
the scared team frightened its hold round
the panther's neck and gave the beast no
chance to regain its feet.
Choked, battered and torn, it was rolled
and dragged and yanked after the cutter
until every bone in its body was broken.
When within hundred yards of the
village the cutter collided with tree
and was dashed to pieces.
| The arrival of two runaway horses
alarmed the people, and they set out to
search the road piece. They soon
found the broken cutter and the dead
body Of the panther, and not long after
ward they met Hugh, limping along in
the snow.
His wounds We're dressed, and few
hours later the doctor reached Toms
wife.
For week Hugh had to stay in the
settlement, but as soon as his wounds
would allow it he went back to his house.
Toms wife had in the meantime wholly
recovered, and under her loving care
Hugh's wounds were speedily healed
not only those of his body, but also
those Of his mind-and the three neigh
bors have remained the best of friends
ever since.
Hugh has still the torn skin of the
panther, and entertains high regard
for the trophy of that perilous sleigh
ride. zu Befehl in Saturday Night.

In We olden Tyne.

We remember the time when small
Spanish silver coin did service all over
the United States as a 12i-cent piece, and
one-half the size as a 0t-cent piece, and
both were abundant and more popular
than the dimes and half dimes. These
were the days Of small things, fractions
Of cents being carefully calculated, a
method which was aided by the large
number Of half cents in circulation.
Merchants ledgers showed many entries
for Ct, 1871 and 18e cents, and from that
up to 87i cents. 1t was common prac-
tice for merchants when they were short
of half cents for change to give half q
row Of pins in the place of one. Common
cigars sold everywhere four for cent,
and many time have we seen one, two,
or three cigars handed over the counter
for fractional change. --Goshen Times.

Southerners take to New York more
than to any other city north Of Mason
and Dixon's line. They are at home there
whether as visitors or residents. When
the close Of the war found thousands of
southern men penniless, and without any
method of earning living in the devas
tated south, many of them came to New
York.
At every considerable social gathering
in New York one is almost sure to find
several distinguished -Confederates.
The southerner in New York retains
much of the pronunciation and clannish-
ness with which he Is. created, but In
spite Of this he is adaptable, more so, prob
ably, than the New Highlander, His happy
go lucky temper fits in well withthe reck-
lessness of the city and his suavity Of
manner vastly smoothes Thorough places
OF business life. 1t is noticeable, too,
that the southerner seldom falls into the
social vice of snobbishness. Cor. Pitts

st. Cuthbert would have no female

where there is COW there must be
woman, and where there is woman

dral at Durham, dedicated to him,

his queen went to the priory at Durham

In the middle Of the night monk

that st. Cuthbert loved not the sex and
that she must up and go. The queen

LIVED A HUNDRED YEARS.

And for Sixty of Them He Lived on
Twelve Ounces Of Food Per Day.
Lewis Cornaro, noble Venetian, had
been a professed epicure and libertine
till he entered the fortieth year Of his
age.
His constitution was SO far reduced by
the collie, rheumatic pains, fever, etc.,
that his physicians at length assured
him that he could not survive much
longer than two months; that no medi-
cine whatever could avert the catastro-
phe, and that the only possible means Of
preserving his life would be regular
adherence to a frugal diet. He punct-
ually followed this advice, perceived
symptoms of convalescence within
few days from the commencement OF
his plan CT reformation, and after the
lapse Of twelve months was not only
completely restored, but found himself
in better state of health than he had
ever been during any period of his life.
He resolved, therefore, to confne him
self to a still more parsimonious regi-
men, and to take nothing but what he
judged to be absolutely requisite for his
support.
Thus during sixty years he confined
himself to exactly twelve ounces of food
day dread and other nourishments in
cluded), with thirteen ounces of bever-
age.
1t should be also observed that during
this long period he carefully avoided yio-
lent heat, cold, passion and extremes Of
every kind, and by rigidly and uni
formly adhering to this moderate diet
not only his body but his mind also ac-
| quired SO determined a tone that no COM
mon incidents could affect them.
At very advanced age he lost law
suit which involved pecuniary concerns
of great Importance, and on account Of
which two &C dis brothers died of broken
hearts; but he still retained his usual
health and tranquility. His carriage was
| accidentally overturned and dragged
along by the horses, in consequence Of
which his arms and legs were dislocated.
| He caused them. however, to be reduced
again, and, without taking any medi-
cines, was In a short time restored. He
died at the age of 100.-- Medical Classics.

Baby is dead--spcalk low, step light;
How tranquel Is her restl
Her tiny hands were placed last night
Upon her waxen breast
And when the morn broke calm and bright
And deep was our despair,
We gazed upon her face so white,
And saw a sweet smile there.
The mourning mother sobbed aloud
As she her darling scanned;
And while each head In sorrow bowed
She fixed within its hand
A tiny rosebud, fresh and sweet,
Which round its perfume shed.
''This, this, she moaned. sis emblem meet
For my dear, precious deadm
Next day, while sorrowing neighbors stood
Holding sweet flowers Of spring,
The tiny rosebud, red as blood,
Showed signs OF opening.
And ere the funeral rites were through
Each mourner In the room
Thrilled with astonishment to view
The bud burst In full bloom.
The clergyman, with trembling voice
And deep emotion, said:
Rejoice. my sorrowing friends, rs5oicei
The baby Is not deadl
God, In his loving tenderness,
This token sweet has given,
That she who budded In distress
Is blooming now In heavenl"

The Girl Had nean tp enc Show.

Just at present Mrs Brodgage Is break
ing in queer creature from the west Of
Ireland--a stalwart, rosy, typical Irish
peasant girl, fpllof respect, devotion and
Ignorance. She signalized the return Of
warm weather by coming in barefooted
to wait on the table at luncheon. But
her browning achievement was reserved
for the early evening Of the same day.
At about o'clock two gentlemen called
to see Mrs, Brodgage and Katie went to
the door. AS the girl didn't seem to
know exactly whether to let them In or
