TOO BAD.

Several young ladies were sitting
together on the balcony of
hotel the other night when the
moon, although full, was somewhat
hidden by clouds. A natty little
fellow came towards the group and
said softly, "Pussy, darling" where
upon all the young ladies jumped up
and came towards him eagerly. He
selected one and walked away with
her. The other brides sat down and
told their respective Romeoe after
ward that it was "too ridiculous fol
anything" and that they "never
were 30 embarrassed in the whole
course Of their lives. "-Ex.

Tie below Is given t. correct some
false reports that have been circu-
lated about a good and true citizen
of our county:
Communicated.
"rhere Is a lust In man no charm
can tame,
Of loudly publishing his neighDor's
shame;
Hence, on eagles wings immortal
scandals fly,
While virtuous actions are but born
and die"
The disposition to SANDER, &C bane-
full in its effects, and SO opposed by
Holy Writ, 10 uncomely and I'M
christian under all circumstances,
but never SO vile and despicable in
its nature as when Its shafts are
hurled at the defenseless or a pereon
In his grave.
1t il to be regretted, but this dis
position has Of late been INDUCED In
by many concerning the last mo-
ments OF one who recently died.
Some Of these, too, are professed
christians, who (be it TO their shame)
seem to enjoy the rehearsal Of these
falsehoOds as they would a "sweet
morsel." Having heard some Of
these wOeful tales, and then having
heard q true statement from the
lips Of his widow, feel constrained
to say few worde, at least, In his
defence on behalf Of his bereaved
family. And right here must say
that his widow mourns not as those
who have no hope, for she rejOices
in full faith Of an all redeeming Sa-
viour. in whom bhe reposes implicit
trust.
though this man was not mem
Der of any church, yet his deeds OF
charity in ever lending a helping
hand to the poor and distressed,
proved that he practiced more OF
that religion Of which st. James
speaks, Ii, -27) which is pure and I'M
detiled and consists in visiting the
fatherless and widow in their Attic
ton, but which is too often lacking
in the self righteous and religious
bigOt.
In his last illness, before he be-
came delirious, he had a long anC
confidential talk with his wife, ex
pressing the knowledge Of the Ger
tainty that his days on earth were
short, that he must soon leave her
and that his great dread was parting
with her and his little girl, but thai
he was not afraid to die for he fell
that he would still be in the han dl
Of One who had always blessed him
and as God was unchanging he wa.
confident thnt he would still be car
ed for. In his delirious moment
he said things which, colored an(
exaggerated, gave rise to the reports
so current among chose who thinl
they merit heaven in future stat,

In this short life. But if they will
occupy the same time in searching
the Scriptures that they spend il
talking and bearing false witnes
against their neighbor, they viii
find that "eternal life is the gift O
God" For by grace are ye saved
through faith, and that not Of your

An expert West Philadelphia physi-
clan in talking of the dreams of the deaf
and dumb remarked:
In visiting institutions for the blind
and the deaf have made inquiry, and
have never found an instance of a per-
son born deaf or of child who lost his
hearing before he was 4 years of age
dreaming Of hearing. Among the re-
suits of recent inquiries present the
following from the principal of the
State Institution of the Blind and Deaf
at St. Augustine, Fla,:
81 have closely questioned the deaf
children here as TO whether they have
ever dreamed of hearing, aud the invari-
able answer is NO have asked the
same question of upward OF 30 deaf per-
sons with the same result, except where
the person interrogated had lost his
hearing after learning to talk. These
last mentioned are all grown persons of
some education who understood the
question fully and are very positive that
they had never dreamed of hearing
more than rumbling sound

Singular Man In France Who Can Make
His Body Rock Like.
One of the most remarkable human
curiosities ever seen has just been ex-
amined by NJ de Quatrefages, the
French naturalist. He is a provincial
named Simeon Aiguier and is 80 years
old. Aiguier, thanks to his peculiar sys-
tenn of muscles and nerves, can trans
form himself in most wondrous fash
ion. He has very properly dubbed him
self "LHomme Protes.
At one moment, assuming the rigidity
of a statue, his body may be struck
sharply, the blows falling on a block
of stone At another he moves his in
testines from above and below aud right
to left into the form Of large foot ball
and projects it forward, which gives him
the appearance Of colossally stout per-
sonage.
He then withdraws it into the thorax,
opening like a cave, and the hollow look
of his body Immediately reminds one Of
a skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi-
tates man subjected to the tortures of
the rack, as also man hanging himself,
and assumes a strikingly cadaverous
look. What most astonished n. de
Quatrefages was the stoppage of the
circulation of the blood, now on the left
and now on the right side, which was
effected by muscular contraction. -

Gifts for InvaIids,

A very small thing of beauty that
will be pleasant sight for an invalid's
eyes while it lasts is carrot or sweet
potato followed out on the inside to
leave a wall about three quarters of an
inch thick. The vegetable is suspended
by cord passed through holes pierced
in the side, and the cavity filled with
water In few days upturning sprays
of green will sprout from the bottom
and cover the outside, and if small
bunch of violets is put in the little quaint
hanging basket it will have charming
appearance.
A pretty little thing to leave on a sick
friends table is plant saucer, with
three pine cones standing upright in the
center. The arrangement of sticks or
hairpins by which you compel them to
assume and maintain an erect position,
may be concealed by mat of real moss.
There should also be layer of sand in the
bottom of the dish. Grain or grass seed
should he scattered over the cones, and
If the saucer is kept full of water the
seeds will sprout and show beautiful
tender green, in fine contrast to the rich
brown of the cones
1t is such pleasure to watch green
things growing that either of these sim
pie gifts is an aid to pass the weary.
hours Even finger bowl with thin
layer of cotton sprinkled with flaxseed,
which grows and lives for while on
such nourishment as it drains from the
water beneath, is cheerful, pretty dec
Oration for sick room.
For a friend who is too feeble to sit at
desk or table to write it would be
pleasant task to fit up a writing tablet,
which can be used when one is in re-
elining position. and which offers facil-
fties for storing writing implements,
notes, and other ct oeteras that an invalid
dislikss to be always asking other people
30 procure for her use.
The foundation is a seasoned pine
board, 25 10y 21 inches. This is covered
with felt, which upon thee sides hangs
over the edge, and 10 supplied with fiat
pockets to hold letters. The front of
each pocket is cut into point, which
buttons down to protect the contents.
Across each end of the board are straps
and little superimposed fiat pockets to
and pens, pencils, stamps, cards, and
envelopes OF course these conven-
fences must not Invade the space needed
Tor writing A leather covered trav-
eler's inkstand, with a strong spring in
the cover to prevent the spilling of ink,
can be firmly glued TO one upper corner,
and pen tray and a stamp box on the
other corner. A row of brass headed
nails should be put all around the edge
of the board, and straps and pockets can
be fastened on with smaller brass nails.
The valances with the buttonsd down
pockets can be folded over the top when
the writing board is not in use.- Il Harper'a

A "uolhsnr Ru,s for Anrortl.or.

Said a gentleman, the managing
man of concern, the only rule I have
for determining whether or not paper
is desirable one for our house to use
as an advertising medium is to ascer-
tain if the paper, upon examination, has
interest for me as a reader. 1 GO
through its columns carefully and con-
slider what is being presented from
month to month to it's subscribers and
readers and then attempt to conceive
of the kind of people who are likely to
take the paper in order to obtain such
information or such reading matter.
believe, he continued, that this rule en-
ables me to weed out many papers
which have only free circulation and
some Of those also which do not employ
editors or which do not make any real
attempt to take high rank as periodicals.

afford to pay for as a subscriber on ac-
count of the matter it contains, 1 am
impressed with the idea that 1t circu-
lates among a class that can afford to
