The Old Man Took a.Hand.

An actor told a story recently
about a fencing-master in London
who had two sons. Both of them,
like the father, were physical giants.
Who was the strongest and best
fighter was disputed question until
a burglar got into the house one
night. One of the sons, opened the
front door with a latchkey late at
night, found a robber in the hall.
They Immediately clinched. The
other brother, heareng the noise, rush
ed downstairs, and not being able in
the dark to distinguish a burglar
from a worthy and honest citizen OF
London, proceeded to pound both
men who he ran against. Meanwhile
brother No. l, thinking there was two
burglars in the house, turned half OF
his attention to the new enemy and
the fight became desperate, The
father, awakened by the uproar,
rushed down stairs with a heavy
walking stick. Then the fight was
something to admire, but to avoid.
When it was all over and the gas was
lighted by the aged fencing-master, it
was discovered that he had whipped
not onl y the burglar but his two sons.

A Whitewash That stays Put.

I have found whitewash that is,
however, not exactly pure white, but
one that will stick. It may be made
as follows: Stake half a bushel OF
stone lime in hot water. When done,
pour in two gallons of clear grease OF
any kind and hot water enough to
thoroughly mix. Finish by adding
enough water to make a barrel. For
each gallon of the grease a gallon OF
coal tar may be substituted, with
good results. The addition of the
grease was suggested by seeing the
brief statement somewhere that 'spot
ash and grease make soft soap, and
soda and grease make soft soap; and
lime and grease insoluble soap.
Some tree trunks treated to white
wash made as above subjected since
to three or four heavy rains, retain it
like old paint Correspondence

her only worldly care. But it brought
a pang with.it as severe as if the child
were really her own. As the cold
spasm passed through her heart, a
raven, croaking hoarsely, passed close
to where she stood. She tried to
shrink into the rocks behind her, as
she felt the brushing of his Tapping
and ominous wings; but a happy re-
collection counteracted the impression
of these thoughts and this incident.
''He feeds the young ravens" said
she; primrose will not perish, and
nett her shall I, if I am not chicken
hearted. "
A minute afterwards, she could hear
a grating sound, as down, down, there
descended another basket and another
rope. The men above knew not if
the first creel were still safe, and
they took the pre9aution to lower
another; it passed the bewildered
woman, whose senses were becoming
confused, and in consequence she
missed the right moment for Selling
it; a second more, and the exertion to
draw it back to her would probably
have overbalanced her, but that
second did not arrive before she had
laid hold of and drawn it to her. She
now discarded the first basket to
make way for the second; and per-
haps, at no moment the fearful agony
of her position was more dangerous
to her safety than when kicking it
from her, in the little void between
her and destruction yet untitled by
the other creel, she saw the abyss be-
low; she could not, dared not, shut
her eyes, nor yet open them to the
perils before her, for up to that mo-
ment she had sought to steady her
nerves by not looking beyond or
above the basket. She had schooled
her imagination in a marvellous man
ner to disbelieve, as it were, in her
own position.
Drawing the cord towards her, she
soon managed to place herself in her
new vehicle, and a. few moments
afterwards saw her landed in triumph,
amidst the excited group on the
headland.

THE COMING MAN.

Weary eyelids gently close,
Ruddy lips half parted lie,
Erstwhile busy hands repose,
Precious toys rest idly by.
Battered subjects of his throne,
Soldiers MANNED and horses blind
Tell the despot he has grown
Since he left his skirts behind.
These, his minions, he, their master
Yields his tiny strength to rule,
Never dreaming Of that vaster
Realm-thc world-his future school.
And sigh not at the sight
Do not now, and shall not then
When my baby's tiny might.
Larger grown, shall conquer men.
