How She Knew 1t was Gods Book.

She sat behind her neatly arranged

sorbed in reading her Bible. She did
not near the footsteps Of gentleman
who was passing by, and was startled
by his question:
What are you reading that inter-
ests you so?' :,
"The Word Of God, sir she timid-
"NNho told you that the Bible is the
Word of God p the gentleman in

"God told me HIMSELF" she replied
with childlike innocence.
"God told you? 1mpossible!'
How did he tell you? You have
never seen Him, nor talked with Him.
How, then, could He tell you that the
Bible is His Word p
For few seconds the girl seemed
confused, but she very soon recovered
herself, and her ready wit came to her
aid. There was fash in her dark
eyes as she asked:
"Sir, who told you that there is
sun yonder in the blue sky above us?'
"Who told me, - said the man,
smiling somewhat contemptuously, for
he fancied that the girl was trying to
hide her ignorance under an irrelevant
question. "Who told me ? Nobody,
/ did not need to be told. The sun
tells me this about itself. 1t warns
me and I love its light. That is tell
ing me plain enough. y
"Sir,' said the girl with intense
earnestness, as she stood before him
with clasped hands, "you have put it

the way God tells me in His book. l

God can give such light and warmth

was abashed. The earnest faith of
the young fruit seller amazed him.

Slept With His Spurs On.

eyes said the old man with
smile, II remember one time in par
ticular, while out prospecting with an
old friend, about twenty years ago:
We were travelling on horseback, and
came across tavern one night about
ten o'clock. Being very tired and
hungry, as soon as we got some sup
per, and something warm to keep the
cold out, we asked to be shown to our
room.
On looking around we found that
the room had two beds in it, one Of
which was already occupied by Two
strangers, who were both snoring
Justify. The fact of their being two
beds in the room did not surprise us,
as in backwood taverns there we're fre-
quently three beds in room. We
undressed, and just as / was going to
blow out the light, my friend, who
had got into bed, espied the foot Of
one Of the strangers sticking through
the bed clothes at the foot Of the bed.
With suppressed chuckle he motion
ed me to hold on moment; he got
quietly out of bed, and going to where
the strangers boots were, he took off
huge, sharp Mexican spur, and care.
fully adjusted it to the bare heel Of
the unconscious stranger. With an
other audible chuckle as he thought OF
the consequences that would follow
when the stranger drew in his foot, he
got back into bed, and I blew out the
light and followed him. He soon
managed to get long straw from the
bed and reached over and tickled the
sleeper's foot. He instantly drew his
leg up until his knees almost touched
his chin. In doing so, he drew the
spur the whole length Of his bed-fel-
low S leg, making bad scratch. The
victim uttered yell, and sprang out
of bed with a muttered exclamation
that did not make out, and he COM
menced wild dance around the room,
with his neither garment under his
arms, and making frantic efforts either
to dislocate his neck, or to see how
badly he was hurt, all the while max
ing EXPLANATIONS that would have
made baggage man with Saratoga
trunk on his shoulders turn green with
envy. The innocent cause OF all the
trouble had been awakened at the first
yell of the victim, and in straighten.
ing himself out, scratched himself
most numerically. He did not yell
nor say bad words, but he jumped out
Of bed and made for his friend with
the purpose of taking vengeance, l
supposed; but he had not taken two
steps before he jabbed the spur into
his leg again. The landlord then ap-
peared with light, followed by half
the boarders in the house, and inquired
what the matter was. An examina-
ton brought to light the spur, which
explained the matter. The stranger
looked sheepishly at the spur, then at
his cratch, and finally examined his
boots, and with a sickly smile said:
"Well, boys, / have lived all my life
among people who wear spurs, but |
never before saw man who could pull
off his boot and leave his spurs on his
foot. I'll treat in the morning.

VOLUME XXVIII.---NO. 6.
Gave the Tiger a Bath.

When Pezon, the lion tanner, was at
Moscow with his menagerie he had
occasion to employ a moujik, a fine
specimen of a Cossack, to clean out
the cages Of the wild beasts. The Cos.
sack did not understand word OF
French, and the terms Of the contract
were settled in dumb show. By way
of instrncting him in new duties Peg
on went through sort Of pantomine
with the broom, sponge and water
bucket. The moujik watched him
closely and appeared to fully under
stand the details Of the lessons given.
Next morning, armed with a broom, a
bucket and sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly
stepped in, as he had seen his master
step on the previous day into two
cages Of harmless brutes, but this one
happened to be tenanted by splendid
but untamed tiger that lay stretched
on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised its
head and turned its green eyes full on
the man, who, all unconscious of his
danger, stood in corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket. At that
moment Tanner Pezon came out of his
caravan, and was struck dumb by the
terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man of
his danger? A sound, amovement on
his part might enrage the great beast
and hasten its attack on the defence
less Cossack. So Pezon stood, wait
ing developments; ready to rush to the
scene when the crisis came.
The moujik, sponge in hand, coolly
approached the tiger and made ready to
rub him down with the stolidity of a
military boot-black polishing his cap
tain's boots.
The sudden application of cold water
70 it's hide evidently produced very
agreeable effect on the tiger, for it
began to purr, stretched out its long,
silken paws, rolled over on its back.
and complacently offered every part OF
it's body to the vigorous treatment of
the mouiik, who went on scrubbing
with might and main. All the while
Pezon stood with his eyes wide open,
and as if nailed to the spot. When
he had finished his job the Cossack
left the cage as quietly as he had en-
tered it, and it required the most en-
ergetic and expressive gestures on the
part of the lion-tamer to prevent his
repeating the experiment on a'>second
wild beast.

Loneliness Of the Pacific.

I notice an item in the press stating
that the City Of Peking in her recent
trip sailed 1,240 miles without meet
ing single sail, and this fact is cited
as showing the loneliness of the Pa
cifc Ocean. In the summer of 1850
I left San Francisco on sail vessel
formerly from Baltimore) for Panama
distant 4, 1000 miles, and on the entire
route, which lasted forty-three days,
we never saw sail! Loneliness is no
word for it, especially when we lay
becalmed in the tropics, with our yes
sci floating as helplessly about as q
chip on mill pond, the ground swell
keeping up the monoton' Is roll Of the
vessel from side to side all day and
night and day after day, each roll
being accompanied by flap of the
sails and creaking Of the flap
Of the wings and the vail OF lost spir-
it's.
When we read about Noah and his
ark we are apt to think that he must
have had rather lonely time, but
then he was out only forty days, and
besides, with all the animals, etc., on
board, he had plenty to occupy his
time and attention, and if he wanted
amusement to while away his time he
had only to start sparring match be-
tween his monkeys and parrots. True,
+bora 10 M renort Of such proceeding
on his part, but that is doubtless De-
reporter on board. I tell you man
cannot realize what loneliness or com
fort is until he has made some such
trim and if he wants to complete his
education in that line he should pre-,
face it with tramp Of 1900 miles
over the mountains and across the
deserts amid wolves and wild Indians,
as thousands Of 49-ers did Washing.
