From the Boston Globe
The following story is told me Of a little girl
who spent some weeks in visit among rela-
tives in this city not lo ago. When the days
Of her visit ended she returned to her home in
Maine. few days later there was a camp
nesting in the immediate neighborhood of her
homo. and she frequently attended with her
mother. She heard many glowing descriptions
of the beauties Of the heavenly land, and she
became enthusiastic over the prospect Of such
glorious future home. One day, unable to re-
strain herself longer. she said to her mamma:
Lets hurry up and get to heaven before it's
filled up. l want to 60 there. II it's ANYTHING
like Boston I shall never want to come back"

The TrOMhle With tho Horse.

In that street of sights, West Twenty.
third street n trilling incident attracted
unusual attention today. 1t was that of n
glossy black horse attached to the light
wagon of a dry goods house
The animal was left for Il moment near
the curb while the driver ran into a build
ing. Something seemed the matter with
the brute. 1t pulled and nodded its head.
but its feet did not move. Shoppers and
sightseers stopped to look at the animal,
and the sidewalk soon became congcsted.
ut IL fine horse, too, at must have the
shakes, Something's the matter with its
head were the sympathetic remarks made.
but no one did anything.
Presently a well dressed woman of fine
physique and evident high breeding came
forward in the crowd. Instnctiyely pas
sage seemed to open for her
Lifting daintily Rloved hand the gentle
woman unfastened the checkrcin that held
the animals head. The horse tossed its
name with a shake of relief and dropped
its head near its feet. There on the clean
curb lay the fresh skin of n banana Seiz-
ing it in its teeth, the horse raised its head
and devoured it eagerly.
1T : n shame to torture fine horse like
that" remarked the gentle liberator as she
pattcd the sleek, glossy neck
When she moved away, those in the
crowd looked as if each was ashamed of
the other for not knowing what to do.
That rein ought to DO abolished" said
Agent Smart of the Society For the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals as he moved
out of the crowd.-New York Telegram.

Wonan'S A &c.

The wish to conceal her age is so popular
ly supposed to be second nature to every
woman that it has come to be accepted al
most as one of her prerogatives, Even on
the witness stand legal inquiry and judg-
ment are very lenient on this point here in
America. Over in Austria, however, it
seems, it is a serious oflense, and recently a
marriage was declared void because the
husband proved that his wife had deceived
him as to her age, claiming to be 10 years
younger than she really was.-New York

GREAT MEN's WILLS.

Liszt enjoyed himself best when at the

emily lost in rhapsody.
Biackmore, the novelist, was fond of
gardening, and spent in that amusement
all he made by writing.
Paley, the author of the '' Natural The
ology," was fond of fishing, and often

ments save the bass drum.
Samuel Clark was fond of robust exer-
else, and was sometimes seen Jumping

The man who fights against his coun-
try is never a hero--Vietor Hugo
True valor lies in the middle, between
cowardlcs and Ceryantes.
The same vices which are huge and In
supportable in others we do not feel In
ourseIves.-La Bruyere.
Trust lies at the basis of every scheme
of human life, and is the corner stone of
the temple of human happiness.-J. g.
Holland.
A wise man will make haste to forgive,
because he knows the full value of time,
and Will not suffer It to pass away in UNI
necessary pain.-Addison.
It is another's fault If he be ungrateful;
but it is mine II 1 do not give. To find
one thankful man I will oblige many that

dormant, natural science at stand,

In the commission of evil, fear no man
SO much as myself; another is but one
witness against thee; thou art a thou
sand; another thou mayest avoid; thy
self thou canst not. Wickedness is its
own Observation-Disclosures.
Temperance, in the noble sense, does
not mean a subdued and imperfect en-
ergy; it does not mean a stopping short
in any good thing as in love or in faith;
but It means the power which governs
the most intense energy, and prevents II
lcting in any way but as it ought.-Rus-
