But he bought little gun,
And he thought he'd go and try it
On the chickens, just for fun.
And he loaded it right we'll,
And then in just a minute,
He fired it at a chicken,
And-then he wasn't in it.
For he'd loaded it so heavy
That it kicked him sick and dumb.
And the chicken that he fired at
To its nose applied its thumb.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.

COMPENSATION.

Celia Thaxter.
In that new world toward which our feet are set
Shall We find aught to make our heart forget
Earths homely joys, ana her bright hours of bliss?
Has Heaven a spell divine enough for this?
For who the pleasure of the spring can tell?
When on the leafess stalk the brown buds swell,
When the grass brightens and the days grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping song?
oh, sweet the dropping eve, the blush of morn,
The star-lit sky, the rustllng fields of corn,
The soft airs blowing from the freshening seas,
The sun-fecked shadows of the stately trees,
The mellow thnnder and the falling rain,
The warm, delicious, happy summer rain,
When the grass brightens nd the days grow long,
And the little birds break out in ripping songl
Oh, beauty manifold from morn till night,
Dawns iush, moons blaze and sunsets tender light!
Oh, fair, familiar features changes sweet
And golden chains, start the wheels through
space
From snow to roses; and how dear her face,
When the grass brightens and the days grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping song,
Oh. happy earth! Oh, home so well beloved
What recompense have we from thee removed?
One hope we have that overtops the whole;
The hope of finding every banished soul
Ne love and long for daily; and for this
Gladly we turn from thee and all thy bliss;
Even at the loveliest, when the days are long,
And lit e birds break out in ripping song.

When a Man Walks.

The man afoot on the surface of his
own earth is the true king; the so called
monarch who journeys in coach or in
bomb proof railway carriage is, in
truth slave. The pressure of the free
foot on turf or road exhilarates the soul;
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerves and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our
own; it flows rhythmically into our
lungs and unites us with the sky The
horizon wooes and stimulates the eyes;
they become bright and gain power and
Judgment. Nature instructs us at every
step; her beauty must ever remain un.
known to him who has not thus placed
himself face to face with her.
Distant hills slowly draw near and
unfold to us their wonders of color and
form; winding valleys reveal their love
ly hearts to our orderly seeking, temper
ing their surprises by exquisite grada-
tions. The trees are companions; each
yields to us It's individual charm, and so
passes rs on to the new charm of its
neighbor. The forests veil from US the
sky, as if to remind US of the beauties of
this earth; the broad plains smile to
heaven, in intirnation that earth and
heaven are inwardly at one. Every in
sect, animal and bird vouchsafes US
glimpses of its secret life, which shuns
the monstrosity of our machines. Julian
Hawthorne in Lippincott's.

THE CATECHIsM OF SHOPPING.

THE CATECHISM OF SHOPPING.
Detroit Tribune.
See the lady. Is she pretty lady?
She is pretty lady. That is to say, if
accused of being pretty she would deny
it; if not accused she would be as mad
as a wet hen. Is the lady rich? 1t looks
like it. She does not see anybody else
in the world. Oh, yes, she is rich. What
is the lady doing? Let us see.
See her go into the store. Did she
step on the pretty boy who opened the
door for her? Not quite, but the boy
had to hustle to escape. Why does
the baldheaded man hehind the
counter have such hard work to look
pleasant? Some people find it hard to
look pleasant anyway. Does he enjoy
pulling down all the goods in the store,
as the rich, pretty lady requests. He
should. She will probably purchase large
amounts of the goods. But no. See.
She is leaving the store without buying
anything. Does the baldheaded man
seem tired? He seems tired. He has
half days work before him to put the
goods back where he found them.
See the lady. Is she having lots of
fun? 1t is to be hoped SO. Nobody else
is. Does she work other stores in the
same way? She works large number
of other stores in just the same way.
Does she buy anything?
Not solitary blamed thing.
What is she doing?
She is shopping.
Is the lady shopping? She is shop
ping. Do many ladies shopG They all
shop. Is there no cure for the habit?

The taciturnity of backwoodsmen used
70 be much illustrated by American
writer's, but now, perhaps because back
woOdsmen are too few to form as con-
spicuous national element as formerly,
their peculiarities are not often men,
toned. From Canada, which still has
vast areas of almost unbroken forest,
we received the following verbatim re-
port of conversation between a city

Meaning of "Sophomore."

Says Cincinnati literary man: 81 used
to think that the word sophomore was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable, | thought, to
the second class in a college, because
they were more wise than their fellows
in their own estimation. But it seems
that the word has purer genealogy and
meaning even less fattering to the
class of collegians to whom it is applied
1t was first used at the University of
Cambridge, England, and in its infancy
appeared in the form 'soph-mor.' 1t was
composed of the word 'soph,' contrac-
ton for 'sophister,' and Greek word
meaning foolish (moros).
1.-The college course extended over
three years and one term. The respect
i've classes of students were termed
freshmen, or first year men; junior
sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and
questioners. This nomenclature was
transferred to the American higher in
stitutions of learning, and in the form
freshmen, juniors and seniors still exists,
while it has wholly disappeared on the
other side of the water. New York

Total Eclipses of the Sun.

Every year there must be two eclipses
of the sun, and there may be five. These
are partial eclipses, however, except in
the comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
suns disk and produces a total obscura-
ton of his light. Since the invention of
the spectroscope, in 1860, there have
been barely score of total eclipses, and
a number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is a narrow strip
never more than l70 miles wide-where
the point of the moons shadow falls upon
the earth. Total eclipses rarely occur,
therefore, at the same point of the earth.
At London, for example, there has been
no total eclipse since the year 1l40, ex
cept that of l7l5, and there will be none
during the next century E.

The Intelligent Foreigner and Buffalo.

The Intelligent Foreigner and Buffalo.
A Buffalonian writes from Nice that
in the smoking room of his hotel, which
is frequented chiefly by English people,
the after dinner talk is very apt to drift
toward American topics, and any guest
who has visited that country sets up at
once as an authority on the subject. One
gentleman, Scotchman and a man of
education and breeding, said: "Ah,
yes! l know you Americans pretty well.
l was in the States some twenty-six
years ago." When asked what impress
ed him most during his visit he said: 81
found great laxness in the administra-
ton of the laws. In many cities really
felt that it was unsafe to go about the
streets after dark. In what cities? Well,
in Louisville, Chicago and Buffalo, par
ticularly in Buffalo, where | saw great
numbers, hundreds of the aborigines go
ing about without restraint"
Our Buffalo friend pricked up his ears
at this and made some incredulous re-
mark Indeed, yes said the other,
''the native red men in blankets and all
that" Our friend observed that Buffalo
happened to be his place of residence,
and that the only savages he remem-
bored seeing there were the occasional
and inoffensive venders of sassafras root,
but the Scotch gentleman knew better.
Buffalo was wild and dangerous bor
der town, and he did not hesitate to let
his American interlocutor see that his
statements concerning the present COM
mercial greatness of that city could not
impose on him. He had been there
