Owed Him An Arm.

In the summer of 1877 Gen. Jubal 4.
Early was guest at the Arlington hotel,
Hot Springs, Ark. Among the other
notables stopping there was the then
somewhat famous Ex-Governor Stearns,
of Florida, who had been recently ap-
pointed by President Hayes commits
sion to adjust the claims of citizens of
Hot Springs who had improved real
estate afterward decided to belong to
the national government. One day the
two gentlemen, who had no personal ac-
quaintance, met in the hotel Office.
'Gen. Early" said Stearns politely,
''you ought 10 be willing to shake hands
with me. You owe me an arm," and he
indicated his empty sleeve.
''How is that, governor" queried
Early. at the same time extending his
hand.
Il lost that arm in the cause of the
Union at Winchester. where you COM
manded the Confederate army"
''Indeedr' responded the general suave-
ly, as he stroked his long gray beard
and slightly Strengthened his bent fig
ure. "You mustn't blame me for that.
/ always instructed my men to do their
duty, but sometimes the rascals would
blunder."
The future intercourse of the two gen.
tlemen was limited to a passing bow

THE DIPPER AND THE SEA.

he held dipper In his hand,
And bravely did be ply
With all the strength at his command,
To dip the ocean dry.
"And all the ships that sail" says he,
"And go from land to land,
On the dry bottom of the sea.
Shall sink into the sand.
'The waves are powerleSs to resist;
Through me fulfilled shall be
The words of the evangelist,
There shall be no more sea-"
And so he plies his dipper fast,
And does not cease to Try,
AS long as strength and life shall last,
To dip the ocean dry.
And like this mailman even we
With little clippers try
To drain the vastneSS Of the sea,
And dip the ocean dry.
The sea OF knowledge with its din
Before us breaks, and We,
We thrust our little dippers in,
And think we've drained the sea.
And bound within narrow creed,
Shut in by walls and towers,
We deem we have no further need
The truth of God is ours.
Then let the endless babblers be,
VINO for more wisdom cry,
We've thrust our dippers in the sea,
And drained the ocean dry.

TWILIGHT M BORpERLAND.

The sky is aglow with the sunset light
He has poured his gold over tower and tree.
And scattered his diamonds upon the sea,
Dropped his casket OF pearls on the robe of Night,
And his tears on the floweret's pink and white,
Yet leave them, mother, and fly TO thee.
Over field and woodland and dark ravine
NY spirit is borne on its pinions fleet,
Till clasp your hand and our glad eyes meet;
Then we wander away in a glorious dream
And float, and float an a mystical sheen,
To realm unknown to mortal feet
We bask in that wonderful region of light,
We are filed and thrilled with loves sweetest
tone,
While we drink OF a bliss TO sense unknown.
oh, what do they know Of pure delight.
Whose souls never stretched out their wings in
fight,
Who never have foubi and embraced theii
own?

Cremation at Milan.

The Italian clergy. unlike the clergy
of France-and for the most part of Eng
land-have never made any objection to
cremation, and at Milan, where nearly
1000 bodies have been cremated during
the last thirteen years, and where at the
present rate of increase crenations will
soon reach an average of one day, the
same funeral service is performed,
whether the corpse be destined for slow
corruption under the earth, or for rapid
incarceration above ground. Two systems
of cremation are followed at Milan

Talking about making people laugh
Lew Dockstader says:
remember l once sat up two nights
to prepare batch of new jokes and
then sprung them on my audience. The
house was packed with people. Not a
smile, not a ripple. Finally began to
weaken. The cold chills were playing
peek-a-boo up and down my spinal col
umn. was in refrigerator. AT last
in desperation walked to the middle Of
the stage and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, merely tell
these things; 1 don't explain them"
The remark caused a kind of a con-
sumptive grin. Since that time l have
told some of those jokes in every large
city in the United States, and they have
proved TO be the best things have ever
had. The secret of how to raise laugh
is always in the kindergarten stage. No
matter how hard man tries he never
seems TO get beyond the A BIC of it,
