Riding the Cow-Catcher.

The engineer of a Consolidated train
who had gotten on the cow-catcher OF
the train with the view of stealing a
ride. Where he got on is not known,
but it is supposed that it was either
Portchester or Greenwich. This train
goes from Greenwich to Stamford with
out stopping and, after it had left Green
witch and was running very rapidly, the
engineer saw pale and CHASTITY face
looking around at him from in front of
the boiler Of his engine! In great
alarm, he stopped the train, supposing
he had killed man on the road and he
had been hurled up on top of the cow
catcher. The tramp had happened to
look around and the headlight of the
engine, shining brightly on his face,
made it look weirdly white to the engi-
neer. He instinctively put ON the
brakes and brought the train to stand
still. Jumping off his engine, he went
cautiously around to see what the
strange sight could mean and, when he
found out what it was, he grabbed the
poor tramp by the collar, shook him
well and marched him into the baggage
car. The tramp said he was from San
Francisco and was going to Boston and
confessed that he had thus beaten his
way across the continent. The conduct
or took pity on him and allowed him to
ride in the baggage car as far as SIAM
ford, where he was put off without any
thanks for the terrible scare he had
caused the engineer Norwalk Gazette.

Monday. Mr. Nash, the night watch

Although Iceland has a population of
only about 10000, the majority of these
being poor in this worlds goods, yet no
fewer than eight papers are published on
the island. Aside from the local news,
the papers are filled with discussions on
political and economic subjects pertain
ing directly to the affairs of Iceland. The
spirit of the articles are often extremely,
sometimes even Extensively, partisan and
personal. One characteristic of these
papers is that almost the entire contents
consist of original contributions. Splen-
did TRANSACTIONS also are quite frequently
published. The whole population of Ice
land is educated, the number of litter
ates being extremely low; as a result,
these papers have an abundance of cor
respondents even among the fishermen
and peasants.

Gen Johnston of New Orleans gives
some figures which show to what an as
founding extent the Louisiana lottery is
robbing the gullible throughout the
country. For the monthly drawings
alone, the lottery takes in $2S, 200, 200
each year, most of which comes from the
wage earners and people of small in
comes. OF this $4,000, 900, nearly $12,-
100000 goes into the pockets of the lot
terry as profits; the amount is probably
larger than this, for Gen Johnston shows
that, il any person bought all the tickets
for year and won all the prizes, he
would have lost about $11, 800, 900. In
practice, it is said that from rs to so per
cent. of the tickets are sold, while not
much over half of the prizes are paid !;
consequently, the profits Of the lottery
are largely increased.

is imperative. He has contracted for one

arranged to print four, six, eight, ten, or
up to "a pages, cut, folded, pasted count

occasion may demand. The colonel has
made very excellent start in the right
direction, both with his Morning Adver-
tiser and his Commercial Advertiser. He

Sermon in COrks.

The cork room" beneath the stage at
Roster & Balls is one of the peculiar
haunts of the man about town and his
base imitators. AS such, it is the object
i've point of many jolly night out
wherein the occasional visitor who does
the Summing act puts up his cash for
what he calls fun. The ''cork room" is
not so called because nobody enters it
without being half corked or gets away
without being fully so, but because it is
decorated with champagne corks. They
represent the bottles that have been OPEN
ed in that little den. They stand for in
Vulnerable Gags" They tell of thous-
ands of dollars that have popped from
many pockets. They are the visible
landmarks of misspent nights; the sole
relics of fortunes which have effervesced
and sizzled and gurgled and foamed away
in the name of s'fun." These corks, ar
ranged in geometrical figures above the
polished oak wainscotting and woven in
to the "Maudes" and "Maries" and "Jen-
nies'' and "Floras" on the low proved
ceiling have stories of their own. If they
could only tell those stories, instead of
staring down satirically upon you as you
sit at one of the little oaken tables, what
sensation There are figures made of
the reverse ends of corks, brownish red
and rusty, the irregularly dismembered
strings that once held them in place CIV
ing tragic effect to the whole. Those are
heartstrings torn from the red throat of
Bacchus. And how many heartstrings
of another sort have been wrenched and
torn in the little wineroom beneath va
riety stage of the metropolis? Night upon
night-voluptuousness in tights and
spangles-year upon year-the same
round of the rounder, the rich and pro-
figate, the grizzled veteran and the cal
low youth, the hardened depravity and
sneaking hypocrisy. From every city in
the world, they have been here and left
these silent records.
Where are they now? Say, tell me that?
Where are the boys that danced to the
popping of these corks? Where are the
laughing dimples, the flushed cheeks, the
diamonds, the handles and the FOUNDERS
and the sight seers of years agone? 1t is
not so long ago. Where are they?
Are they in society, or in prison? Are
they in the workhouse, or in the silent
cemeteries of the world? Perhaps. And
then may we laugh, or sheer, or cry?

many ways for what the church had al

broad enough for the most tolerant,
"Well, what of ?" at this point it NAV
be asked. "All this is a very old story
by this time" Yes, it is, but not in its
relation to the present obligations of the
pulpit. There are plenty of clergvmen
who were wont in the old days to speak
contemporary about temperance SER
mons; what are they doing now? The
church has at length, with singular wis
dom and unflinching courage, taken
position on this subject which makes the
silence of any pulpit concerning temper
ance simple dishonor. The pretence,
after the church in her general conven-
ton, in so many ways in both hemispheres
has defined the true doctrine of temper
ance and urged its obligation upon her
people, that any bishop, priest, or dea-
con has right to refuse to lift up his
voice concerning this crying and soul de-
stroying sin on the grounds that, to do
so, would be encouraging fanaticism, is
simply an impertinence which well nigh
justifies the old sheer against the church
that it was ''the refuge of distinguished
drunkards and was, therefore, afraid to
speak out against their SIM

Do you ever think of devoting your
gifts to God? You can sing very sweetly.
Then don't use this gift merely to satisfy
vanity or please those who have an album
dance Of bright things wherewith to
brighten the passage through the wilder
ness world, but let no week pass with
out using this gift to cheer some sick or
lonely person. Think what it would be
worth to that lonely old lady who is shut
into the four walls of her home, with but
little to cheer, to have you, with your
sweetest smiles, your prettiest dress, sing
some song of the beautiful land over
there where there is no sorrow nor sigh
Ing. Every one can speak CHEEKY word.
Let no opportunity pass Of speaking an
encouraging word to some Of Gods little
ones. The simplest service, If done In
the name Of Christ, shall have its reward.

Country Roads.

Somehow it seems to be a common nc
ton among farmers that dirt road, when
dried by the Summer sun and worn into
fairly good condition by passing vehicles,
is as good wagon road as can be had
for the purposes of farm traffic. This is
stupendous mistake. Every dirt road
sinks more or less at the point of contact
with the wheels of heavy wagon. If
the road is composed of soft material 1.-THE
depression is, of course, greater, but,
whether of soft gravel or clay, it always
exists in some degree. Many years ago,
an instrument was made, a kind of
ssspring balance" by which it could be
ascertained exactly what power was nee
essary to haul a loaded wagon over road
ways made Of different kinds of mater
ials. This instrument has been made in
different forms and used on hundreds of
different occasions, so that its results
were proven to be Of great value. TWAS
found by these experiments that.a hori-
zontal force required to draw {. wagon
and load of 2100 weight over ssTelford''
road was only 46 pounds, showing that
the load was 81 times greater than
power required to haul it. To haul the
same load upon gravel road (laid on
earth) required power Of lat pounds,
or three times that found necessary on
the Telford road. These results show
that the hauling of loads upon gravel
roads, which are commonly believed by
the farmers to be as good as any, cost
about three times as much as upon
well made Telford road.-[Gospel Of
