KITE FRIGHT.
On windy rlst yoiing Willie Hockey,
Instead OF going to school played hockey.
To far distant field he went,
With dog aud ball, on fun intent,
When suddenly, in that lone place,
Appeared very startling face.
And, dropping BALL, away will few,
The faithful comrade flying, too.
Oh shame on you, young Willie Rocky;
lyon had not been playing hockey,
You'd such coward not have been,
But stopped and, in a moment. seen
That startling face was but Kite,
That loose had broken in its flight.

 This great organization has become recognized force ill the mighty struggle for the improvement of mankind, and its work has been such as to induce the re- spectful admiration and endorsement of all good citizens.
 That there is great field for the union cannot be doubted. That this field has been faithfully cultivated none can doubt That the harvest has been great, thous- ands of happy homes and the improved condition of the human race are incontro- vertible evidence. That the opportuni- ties of the future are limited only by the scope of the organization, the faith and endurance of the united sisterhood, and the facilities afforded, past and present give ample proof.

Representative Hopkins of Illinois has just reported at the post office department in Washington 8 case which indicates that the office holders in the rural dis tricts of that state are not overburdened with acuteness. A republican and adem- ocrat are concerned, but there is more ex- cuse for the republican, for she is q, wo- man-and woman seldom does under stand politics. When President Harrison came into office German democrat pre- sided over the post office at 1vanhoe. He was succeeded by Teutonic republican, who died about year and g. half ago. His widow was appointed his successoE. The day after the recent election the dem ocratic ex-postmaster appeared at the post office.
 sCleveland has won," he said, with &C., cents of the fatherland and of triumph delightfully."- mixed. "The post office is mine."
 The widow, knowing that Cleveland had been elected and believing thai her official career was ended, did not object when her husbands predecessor brought a big wagon and carted the entire con- tents of the post office over to his store. He has been acting as postmaster ever since. When the department at Wash ington heard of the incident an inspector was sent out to Illinois to convince Mr. Cleveland's friend of the error of his way.

ENJOYED THEIR SWEARING.

A good story at the expense of chap lain, of what regiment it is not necessary to state, must be told here. It was his first trip to sea, and he was about as bad- ly frightened man as could be found in the fleet. He stayed on deck the live long day, afraid to go below, hanging on to any object he could grasp for dear life.
 Things looked pretty blue to him, and after a tremendous wave had drenched him from head to foot he groped his way to the captain, who was ever at his post.
 "Oh, captain" said he, ''this is terri ble; '.do you really believe we are going to pull through t?" The captain assured him in a soothing voice that we would, would be right in the end. Feeling en- couraged, he went back to his corner, only to return again to the captain, more alarmed than ever, for the vessel pitched tion. This time the captain took his arm and escorted him to the forward part of the vessel, stopping at the forecastle, and lifting the cover he told the chaplain to stoop and listen. He did so, and in a moment he raised his head, with look of horror on his face. Captain" said he, ''this is dreadful-to think of those men, almost on the verge of eternity, and swearing like demons" He had been listening to the sailors off duty in their quarters. "Now, chaplain" said the cap- tain, ssthese men have followed the sea for years. Do you suppose, if their ex- perience led them to believe there was danger, they would be swearing like that? ?'' "Ah," said the chaplain, ex- pressively, and, unconsciously, his face shortened-in fact, he almost smiled. He returned to his post feeling better, for there was Hull in the storm, but for a short time only. Again the wind roared, the vessel pitched, and the chaplain this time groped his way alone to the fore castle. Reaching there he stopped, again patiently listened to what was going on below, and, raising his hands with look of relief on his face, he was overheard to murmur to himself, "Thank God, they are still swearing" .

YANK AND REB.

I was on one of the outposts in front of Sheridan on the Opequan one afternoon when it began to rain. There was sort of Hull just then in army matters in the valley, and it was tacitly understood be- tween opposing pickets that there should be no firing. My post was under dead tree, with screen of bushes in the front. Having no poncho to keep me dry, and knowing that the relief would not come around for over an hour yet, I advanced large tree, which promised shelter. I had stood with my back to the trunk for the or fifteen minutes when thought heard 0 noise on the other side. Pigs were often as turned and carefully poked my head out from behind the trunk, I fully ex- pected to see one. What did see, how ever, was the face of man who had poked his head out to see around my side. The trunk was about three feet through, and our faces were pretty close together. I knew at first glance that he was "John- n.y." and he also knew that I was a "Yank." We looked at each other for minute, and then he calmly inquired:
 "That you, Tank p
 "Yes. That you, Johnny?"
 Thought you was hogs"
 'So did l."
 "What we gwine to do about it?"
 Nothing" .-.
 "That suits me. Come around yere on my dry spot"
 I moved around and we sat down, and while we talked watched one way and he the other. At the end of three-quarters of an hour we got up to go, and he said:
 Reckon I'll know you next time forty rods off, and I'll aim high"
 "Soll l."
 "Come over to my house some day"
 Thanks, and you drop in on me when you can."
 We turned back to back and walked away, each fully trusting the other, and it was our first and last visit. A week later, after the battle which routed Early, I saw the poor fellow lying dead on the dusty Berryville pike.-Neao York Sun.

Cameras put away for the winter can profitably be brought out again to con- pete for prizes aggregating one hundred dollars, offered by tneWheelmen's League, for collections of photographs showing bad patches of roads. Bad roads can be photographed all winter and spring, and part of the summer, the competition clos ing on July 3, next year. Collections submitted for competition can also con- tain pictures of good roads, by way of ex- amples. The prizes will be awarded &C., cording to this scale of merit:
 q. Subject of the photograph and its force in Illustrating the necessity for bet ter roads.
 "2. Clearness and general excellence oi photographs, with location (giving pref erence to those views which show bad roads in important counties, suburbs of large towns, etc.
 "3. Size of photographs"
 Photographs and negatives are to be sent to Isaac B. Potter, Potter Building. It is safe to say that when the subject of good roads is taken up by public officials, photographs will be among the strongest arguments for action. The practical uses of photography multiply tremendously.
