All for n Cent.

Just as we were about to start from the ferry" said A car conductor, "a handsome little woman carrying a girl about four years old entered the car The little girl, who was amusing her self with cent, soon fell fast asleep, holding it loosely in her hand When later the woman beckoned me to stop, and shook the child gently to awaken her, the cent fell to the floor. Then the little girl began roaring like a young lioness Whats the matter, dearI the fond mother asked. I want me penny, was all that could be distn guishcd between the yells
 Never mind, dear, I'll give you an other, replied the mother. No, want me own penny, answered the little one, crying harder than ever. To stop the row moved a number of the passen gers forward and lifted the mating, and, finding the coin, handed it to the little one. The search, however, de Iayed us two minutes, and behind us was n string of cars almost a block long, and we had to bring the whip into use to gain lost time. - Brooklyn Citizen.

Takes Pans to Invite Friendly Ovcrtures
 and Responds with Bite.
 You had better look out for your hand, sir, Tom is pugilist. This ad vice was spoken by gateman at the Union depot, Cleveland, and was ad dressed to a benevolent looking old gentleman who had stopped down to pet large Maltese eat,
 "Oh. he seems to like me" answered the gentleman "l make it a rule to be friendly with all dumb animals, and firmly believe that they appreciate kind treat" But at this instant the cat suddenly rose up OH his hind legs and struck out simultaneously with his barbed forcpaws, grasping one of the old gentlemans ungloved fingers be tween his teeth and giving it sharp bite Satisfied with the result of his attack, willy Tom scainpered away across the tracks and from the other side of the depot watched the old gentleman bandage his bleeding hand with a hand terchief.
 That's an old trick of his" said the gateman to n reporter who was stand ing near by He will meander up to his victim in E!ost innocent manner and play about his feet. Nine out of every ten persons will take this bait and
 bitten by Tom l do not believe hat he uses his claws and teeth out of ugIness but for sport. Notwithstanding all tlis Tom is liked by every person working in the depot No matter how we'll we become acquainted with him. however, he can never be trusted. Some time ago tlattered myself that Tom was my friend, but one day was awakened to the true nature of his friendship when got d badly scratched hand
 "Who owns him" asked the reporter.
 That is a question open to discus sion." replied the gateman w J, Akers the proprietor of the dining room, claims him. as does also a lady living on Prospect street The eat came to the depot several year, Q, and Mr. Akers claimed him fruu the first. However. about month after his coming the Prospect street lady happened to be at the depot one day, and when she espied the cat she screamed in a ladylike manner. and claimed that he belonged to her and had run away from home We gal lantly waived our claims of ownership, but Tom, while showing signs of rccog milton, would not 20 with the lady
 He is very intelligent, and knows to a minute the time of arrival of the trains bearing milk He is always given a large allowance of the milk, and it disappears in a remarkably short space of time He will not eat meat, but loves bananas, and will beg for the fruit at the lunch counter for hours at time Occasionally Tom jumps into a baggage or mail car, and when it leaves the depot he remains on board and we do not see him again until il returns
 "On one occasion he was left by mis take at the depot in Cincinnati, but was there all safe and sound two days later, when the same car was again started for this city"
 At this point Tom came purring up to the reporter and invited caress. He seemed so gentle that the news paper man stroked the fur on his back, but a moment later regretted it, and has since been nursing n sore finger. - Cleveland Leader

 No more delight our poets seek, For now the North has waxed so sage, The Goth is wiser than the Greek. Before tho might of learning's powers, The myths and wisdom of the Past Have perishcd like the autumn flowers Before tho icy northern blast Tho scalpel and the microscope
 Demand the laurel of the Tyre. Alas! what later bard can hope
 To wake for these tho ancient fire7 SWecter 1t is to shut our eyes
 To all that we have lived among, Ani seek in dreams the sunny skies And hills that saw the bird of song; The timo that held the Poets name As holy, and his native vale Heard swectcr notes than ever came From any thorn stung nightingale When every youth whose soul was moved To poetry from early years, Was by the Muses well beloved

SAM. Aug. 2l, lS-.
.........,.,..,..............

Mir. Delon had approached and now stood at my side In a voice trembling with emotion he said:
 Sam was right He gave his life to save mine" Together we went back to the house, and here MT, Delon told me the story of Sans death. The house had been entered by thieves and the noise awakened Mir Delon. Springing out of bed and seeing a man in the room he rushed at the thief and at tempted to seize him The man eluded his grasp and drawing q knife attempt ed to stab Mir Delon. The blade was swiftly descending when another form thrust itself between the men and re ceived the blow intended for Mir Delon The robber leaped from the window and escaped, and then Mir. Delon found Sam true to the last lying upon the floor with n dagger in his heart He never spoke again, but his eyes, made even more weird by the approach of death, looked again at the master he had loved so well and whom he had saved with his own life, and then Sam was dead.

 He, however. insisted upon my re maining until breakfast, telling Sam at the same time to have my pony saddled. We went in at once and were waited on as before, by Sam, who appeared even more anxious to please his master than ever After we had finished our meal, again thanked my courteous host and prepared to depart Sam led Lazarus to the door, and shaking MT. Delon by the hand bade him goodby Mount ing my pony left the yard and turned down the narrow path After the thick woods had shut the house from my view, l could still hear the tinkle of Sans banjo. and the last sound heard was "Oh, Sanl"
 That day reached my destination, and sent Lazarus back to Bogville by negro My work was finished in a few days, and returned again to my home. Several years passed and had forgot ten about my trip to Bogville, and all remembrance of Sam had faded from my mind One day received letter from the head of my department, tell. ing me to go to Bogville and survey the land between that town and Mad. don, as a railway was to be built through that section
 proceeded at once to Bogville and reached that little town at dusk. Next morning l prepared to start upon my way to Naddon, and then it was that remembered my former trip through these woods. The thing that brought the memory so forcibly to my mind was the horse that had to hire to make the trip It was no other than Lazarus, upon whom the flight of years 1 had had no visible effect Knowing what was before me sorrowfully mounted the little beast, resolving to stop again at the house of my hospita- ble friend Delon. Once more l slowly traversed the little path. Once again did the trailing vines catch me under the nose Once again did Lazarus creep along with me, needless of word or blow.

Delon, who recognized me at once and invited me to enter. l did so, and looked around, expecting looked toward the fireplace, and there, hanging upon the chimney, l saw the banjo that Sam held in his hand when first saw him. Turning to Mir. Delon, 1 1 asked him where Sam was. He looked at me with tears in his eyes, and said in voice filled with emotion, Come, l will show you.
 Silently followed him through the open door out upon the smooth grassy yard, toward the large oak tree, under which Sam had so often sat, playing upon his banjo Silently MT. Delon pointed to small plot, inclosed by a low paling fence approached and saw grassy mound, at the head of which was a white marble cross bear ing only this simple inscription;

The samostory is repeated in reference
10 the competition between New Eng
