UP HIS DOG.

Willie was asleep and Dan was lenely.
Willie is the minister's SOB; Dan is the
dog. 1t was Sabbath morning and every
one was at church but these two friends.
1t was warm and sunny, and they eoald
heal the good preaching, for their house
was next door to the church.
Dan" said Willie, ut is better here
than in the church, for you can hear every
word, and don't get proxies down your
back, as you do when you have to sit ap
straight" In some way, while Willie wes
listening be fell asleep. Dan kissed him
on the nose, but when Willie went to
sleep be vent to sleep to stay, and did not
mind trifles. So Dan sat down With the
funniest look of care on his wise. black
face, and with one ear ready for outside
noises.
NOW, the minister had for his subject.
Daniel" This was the name he ALWAYS
gave Dan when he was teaching him to
sit up and beg, and other tricks. While
the dog sat thinking, the nam s.Daniel',
iei' u III ready ear. Ian at once ran
into the church through the yestry door.
He stood or his hind legs, with his FORE
paws dropping beside the minister. who
did net see him, but the congregation did.
When the minister shouted ssDsniel',
again, the sharp barks said, Eyes, sir" as
plain as Dan could answ or.
The minister started back. looked
around, and saw the funny little picture;
then be wondered what he should do next.
but just then through the yestry came
Willie. His face was rosy from sleep. and
he looked a little frightened. He walked
straight towards his father, and took Dan
in his arms and said:
Please 'scase Dan, papa. I went to
sleep, and be ruined away"
Then he walked out with Dan locking
pack on the smiling congregation.
The preacher ended his sermon on
Daniel as best as he could, bat thsu he
made a resolve, if be ever preached agaia
on the prophet Daniel, he wsald renem-
Der to tie up his dog.

GEMS IN VERSE.

The World Would Be the Better for II.
If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battlefelds and glory;
IL writ in human hearts a name r.
Seemed better than in song or story;
Ifmen instead of nursing pride
Would learn to hate it and abhor It;
If moro relied
On Love to guide,
- The world would be the better for it.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands.
And moro in bonds and deeds f~raternal;
If Loves work had more willing hands
To link this world with the supernal:
II men stored up Loves oil and wine
And on bruised human hearts would pour
it;
II yours and 'mine''
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
Ii more would act the play Of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If Bigotry would sheath its knife
Till good became more UNIVERSAL,
II Custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If Talent shone
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise In little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindred feelings;
If men, when Wrong beats Town the Right.
Would strike together to restore it
IL Right made Might
In every fight,
The world would be the better for it.

A health writer gives some Interesting
pointers as to the means of securing a
pretty neck. In the first place don's take
of your c~orsets, but loosen them. or
course they are not tight nov and you
could turn around in them without uu-
fastening their clasps, but unite the iaces
and let your long, deep inhalations fix their
size for a little while. Every night and
every morning throw your hands back
until they strike behind you-at first tan,
then twenty, fifty and q hundred times.
With your chest held high and your eyes
on the frieze of the room take twenty full
breaths, inhaled slowly and exhaled forci-
bly,. Turn your head slowly around on the
trunk one way until you see a few eonstci-
lations and then give ID a few turns the
other way, all very slowly aud carefully
and only a few times in the beginning.
You have heard all this before, but have
YOU tried it? And il you did try it how
many nights in the week did you forget
it and how many mornings were you toe
late TO spend time" And while you are
working nus about your neck your arms
will have been growing plumpar and fuller
all the time above the elbows, and if YOU
take a pair of dumb-bells. and turn them
sharply and vigorously in your hands. the
hands down at the sides, eight times, the
hands stretched out at the side the same
number of times, straight in front OF you,
over your head, each eight times, you
will know by the aching muscles In your
forearm that you have exercised them
most decidedly. The main psint is al
ways sustained rather han cratic effort.

Dearest Not Costliest.

Those are vulgar things we pay for, be they
stones for crowns Of kings;
While the precious and the peerless are I'M
priced, symbolic things.
Lovers do not speak with jewels-fowers alone
can plead for them,
And one fragrant memory cherished is far
dearer than a gem.

Where He Was Found.


The parish priest
OF Austerlitz
Climbed up in a high church steeple
To be nearer God.
So that he might hand
His word down to his people.
And in sermon script
He daily wrote
What he thought was sent from heaven;
And he dropt this down
On his peoples heads
Two times one day in seven.
In his rage God said.
Come down and die;"
And he cried out from the steeple,
"Where art thou, Lord."
And the Lord replied.
down here among my people"

Love.

See! the earth through the infinite spaces goes
silently round and round,
And the moon moveth on through the heavens
and never maketh a sound,
And the wheels of eternity traverse their jour-
ney in stiffness profound.
TITS only the barren breaker that below on
barren shore;
IT'S only the braggaEt thunders that rumble
and rage and roar.
Like q wave is the love that babbles, but silent
love loves evermore

THE III 0RsE'S SENSE OF SMELL.

Did you ever watch a horse feeding at
PASTURE How he works his lips like
fingers, picking s tnft here and there and
lea wing others. He does this by scent,
which in the horse is most exquisite. My
riding horse Que day suddenly SHE'D and
jumped to The other side of the road. On
looking about | saw a rattlesnake sleeping
on the bank fifteen feet away. 1t was quickly
killed, but the horse passed the place with
suspicion for weeks afterwards. A horse
will smell a snake for a long distance.
This acute sense serves him in all his feed
ing. He picks over bis hay and rejects
any not pleasing TO his sense of smell, and
rejects water from a bucket in which milk
has been carried. He finds his way in the
darkness by the same sense, and SO acute
is this that he can recognize his companion
by the oder of his tracks along a road or a
pasture. For these reasons we should be
most careful not to foul hay in the making
or gathering, hut TO keep it as clean as
one would keep his own food. Thus, to
squirt filthy tobacco juice over the hay
is an insult 10 the more civilized animal.

which he shows mature knowledge for

Consul Knowles, after rapping the
French people sharply over the knuek-
les because they do not marry early in
life, winds up by advising that the

the road to matrimOny be made much
easier.

Mayor Younger Writes About Salem's
Sewerage System.
The following letter was received by
Col. Charles G. Eddy yesterday from
Mayor Younger. of Salem, in reply to
tho Colonel Eddy.s letter to the mayor
in regard to the question Of turning tho
sewerage into the Roanoke river:
SALEM, VA. May 4, 1891.
Col. Charles G. Eddy, Roanoke Va.
DEAR SIR: Replying to your letter of
the 1st inst. relative to "a sewerage
system which contemplatcs the dump
ing OF sewerage matter in Roanoke
river" would respectfully submit that
our exceptionally skilled and exper-
fenced city engineer has constantly had
in Wow while preparing his plans for o
system Of sewerage for Salem, the in
forests of the health of Salem, Roanoke
city and the valley below, and from
our natural drainage system adopted by
us is such that at any day we find it is
Objectionable to any citizens below us,
without any "wasto of money" it can
very easily be turned to pumping
station and there be purified, either by
evaporation or filtration before being
allowed to enter the river. Thank
ing you fer your kind suggestions,
we at the Same time beg to assure you
that whilst our rapidly growing popula-
ton renders imperative sewerage, a sys-
tenn happily so easily and cheaply to be
secured, we have not nor shall we so
far forget the rights of those living
along Roanoke river as to imperil their
safety by ''polluting the same"
1t would require too much space to
enter into details as to our system, but
an inspection by you of our plans as
exhibited by our charts will, am sure,
convince you that we have guarded
against injury to others, whilst at the
Same time providing most eifectually
for continuance of Salem's Justly
merited reputation for healthfulness. /
am worry respectfully,
