\ Came nunter.s I.nst I:nnrt.

NJ. de Chervillc had dog which had become wholly deaf and almost blind with old age, as well as most hrlplesslv lame with rheumatism. The dog sIep. almost all the time. but he retained keen passion for the chas,., and it was impossible for his master to get away from the house with a gun on his shoul- der without the old dog unless the ami nal Was locked mp.
 On one occasion when NJ. dc Chervillc thought he had clulel the old dog he found when in the field that the faithful creature was limping after him, whining with the pain of moving his old limbs. but keenly on the alert, ls well as his cyesight would permit. for game.
 Presently the master saw the dog pointing" at partridge De Cherville could not resist the temptation to kill one more bird for the veteran. He fired, the partridge dropped, and the dog, with the one-quarter of an eye which remained to him, hunted it out and brought it tt. his master.
 Bringing the bird at n limping. lum- bering gallnp, the dog did what he had never done before in the field; he got upon his hind legs, planted his forepaws on De Cherville's shoulders and dropped the bird on his breast. Then the dog fell to the ground, rolled over two or three times and was dead. His last supreme effort in his masters irhalf had killed him.-EoUth's CumIaninn

 At last, returning home late one summer night from the mill, found the family at their nightly devotions. Passing by ths windows of the room in which they werG assembled, saw that Pickering was there, and pretty soon discovered that he was nodding, and finally his head dropped. Now was my opportunity. stole slyiy intd the hall, and reaching the hall door, which was slightly ajar and close by which Pick ering was lon pended knee" I reached in and quickly pulling his chair from under him, he rolled heavily, as a sound sleeper would, upon the floor. The noise alarmed all. The old gentleman stopped in the midst of his almost interminable prayer and saw the position of Pickering. All the family laughed outright; even my mother smiled.
 Pickering endeavored to pick himself up as rapidly as possible, but he had touched the old man upon his tender point. It was evident, from his rubbing his eyes, that ho had slept under the old gentleman's minis trations, and had not my father n reputa- tion far and wide for the strength and fervency of his ministrations, and was not Pickering his protesting brother? Slowly, yet most dignifiedly, did the old gentleman approach him. "Begone, hypocrite.' he cried in laundering tones Never enter my house again"
 Pickering was thunderstruck. He felt that he could make no apology which would not add to the insult. He had no suspicion of the extra force which had aided him in his fall. He at once found his hat, took up his line of march, and completely crestfallen passed by me as stood in tho shadow of the porch.
 At suitable time I entered and got my supper, was told by my brother in hurried whispers what had happened, and then stole off to bed, affecting ignorance, and laughing most heartily as I ensconced my self between the sheets at the complete sue cess of my plan. Next day cautiously i'm parted my secret to my sister. She was in her own room at the time, and threw her self upon the bed and rolled in agonies and convulsions of laughter. Sl>e had been emancipatcd forever from an obnoxious lover, The old gentleman did not hear tha real state of the facts for fully 20 years, but when he did he laughed heartily.

Emhlcma of thc NnostIcs.

The medieval artists. having TO idea of the personal appearance of the Sa- viours followers, adopted set of signs, or emblcmS, for c1ch. which soon be- came familiar to an. The emblem of Peter was either q large key or two keys crossed, which is readily explained by referring othe words of Christ lMatthew xvi, l9l, And l will give unto thee the keys of the kin"dum of heaven" The emblem of Paul WAS Il sword and book the latter to remind the bcholder that he was a teacher of men; the former to indicate that he wa~ hchralrd with sword. St. Andrew N.As usually figured standing hv a cross ahIp.d like a letter x, that being the form of the cross upon which legend says h" va- crucitied The emblem of St. James the Great was either sword-rcf"rliug to the fact that he was also hrhcalrd-ur plErim's staff, he being q great traveller.
 St. Johns emblem was q caldron, re- ferrinS to his experience ill thc boiling oil. St. Philips emblem is an enigma. It was a spear and cross, yet it is known that he was hanged. St. Bar tholomcw, who was ''hayed alive" is represented with q knife and his skin hanging over his arm. Matthew's em- blem is a square, supposed to have some reference to Christ's calling. St. Thomas, having been pierced win a dart, is pictured carrying d spear. The emblem of James fine Less was club, ho hay ing been ''bcatrn to death with a flag got;" St. Matthias an ax, he having been beheaded Simon's emblem was a saw. The legend says he was sawn Rsunder.

LnHnnE on 2 IscrgnrIy .Iu,uoo.

No one who has not actually mixed with New York dandies knows how much they spend. 4 social philosopher has lately reckoned that young man about town, who takes his part in the good things which are going, cannot dress under $2. .5OO year. His tailor's bill will eat half of this, his shirts and "gentlemen's furnishings quarter his boots not less than $22j. twill cost over $5UO to outfit him for yachting. tennis and polo. Then add to this his bill for horses, his club bill, his florists bill. his restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the nameless sundries which constitute one half of the outlay of young man about town, and it will be seen that a man may have $lO,OOO d year and yet be familiar with the face of duns.
 One of the oldest and wisest clubmen of the day recently, after an hours study of the nccesSaries of life for a man of fashion, declared that he would advise no one to attempt the life with less than S25,0O0 a year.-Cor. San Francisco Ar lrDuaut

Character In Gait.

Gait is an important part of physical expression. By his gait a man tells us whether he is fresh or tired, strong or feeble, in good health or in bad. To somo extent also gait denotes occupation. The upright and somewhat rigid walk of the soldier differs largely from the rather rolling gait of the sailor, and different from both of these is the slow, jolting gait of the country laborer, winch, how ever, is partly accounted for by his clum- sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers many moral qualities. Slow steps, ,wheth- CT long or short, suggest a gentle or reflect i've state of mind as the case may be while on the contrary quick steps seem to speak of agitation and energy.
 Reflection Is revealed in frequent pauses, and walking to and fro, back ward and forward, the direction of th, steps wavering and following every changing impulse of the mind, inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in- decision. It might be asking too curious q knowledge to distinguish by their re- spective gaits the lniser, the spendthrift and the philanthropist, but the proud man is almOst always known by his step. the vain man to some extent and the ob- stinate man not httle.-Leisure Hour.

 When God of old came down from heaven In power and wrath he came; Before his feet the clouds were riven. Half darkness and half flame. Around Inc trembling mountain's base The proS' rate people lay; A day of wrath and not of grace. A dim and dreadful day. But when lac Camr the second time lie came in power and love. Softer than galrs al morning prime Hoverctl his holy dove. The firrs that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread Now gently light glorious crown On every saiuted head. Like arrows went those liShtnings forth. Winged with the sinners doom. But these. like tongues, OCT all the earth ProclaiminE life to come. And as on Israel's awestruck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump that angels quake to hear Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud. So when the spiTit of our God Came down his flock to find A voice from heaven was heard abroad - A rushing mighty wind. Nor doth the outward ear alone At that high warning starts ConscicrCc gives back tn appalling tone, 'Tis echoed in the heart.

A NEWSPAPER MAN.
Connected With the Great
 Paper, the Albany Express.
Makes Statements Which the People
 Should Know and Understand.
They will Interest Not Only the Newspaper
 Fraternity but Everybody.

The popular and well-known Thomas A. Lindsay, who is connected with Albany's (N. Y.) leading morning paper, the Albany Express, makes an interesting revelation.
 Everybody connected with the news paper has known of the facts for some time, and can vouch for their truth in every particular.
 For many years" said Mir Lindsay, II have been subject to severe spells of head ache and nervousness at times almost to drive a man to insanity from pains, loss of sleep, etc.
 Medicines narcotics, patent and pre- scribed did dot give relief and the ailment increased continually. Having read in the Albany Express, at different times, the ad- vertisements of Dr Greenc's Ncrvura blood and nerve remedy, I concluded to try this remedy, and after the use of six bot. ties, found not only relief but almost n radical cure.
 ''The headaches are a thing of the past while the terrible neruous spells have gradually become less and less until now I have little or none of them left and my sleep is natural and refreshing
 II do not hesitate in saying that thIs re- markable change is entirely due to Dr. Greene NeGyura blood and nerve remedy, and heartily recommend it for ailments like my own. no matter what the cause of them.
 It is fact that our great business and professional men are fast finding out the wonderful invigorating and strength-giving powers of this most valuable discovery Dr Greene's Nervura, blood and nerve remedy. It is the medicine for the weak and nervous. It restores health to the sick
 Its remarkable cure of Mir Lindsay after everything else had failed, makes another conscientious person, restored to health by it's use. to add to the long and constantly increasing list of prominent and we'll known people who are almost daily pub fishing in their papers statements of cures by this grand medicine.
 It is beyond all question the greatest curer of disease known at the present day and is the very best medicine for blood and nerves. It is purely vegetable and harmless and is sold by druggists for Sl .OO
 This great remedy is the discovery and prescription of the famous physician, Dr Greene of 8 w. 14th street New York, who Is the most successful specialist i'll curing nervous and chronic diseases in this country. We should add that the doctor can be consulted free, personally or by letter

PILGRIMAGEs TO MECCA.
Religious Zeal of Mohammcdans a Grei
 Boon to Steamship ComDaDies

Religious Zeal of Mohammcdans a Great
 Boon to Steamship Companies.
 It Is more than remarkable that GUS. tom which arose shortly after the death some 1,260 years ago, of a man whose name was for centuries identified with all that was hostile to Christian domina. tion and opinion should within the last few years have had an important and favorable influence on the earnings of certain British lines of steamers.
 No race las been moro enthusiastic in the way of pilgrimage to the holy city of Arabia than that inhabiting Shc Malay peninsula and archipelago. Although their conversion to ISlalnisn dates back k only some 800 years, if indeed quite so long [the records of the event being de cidcdlv vague and untrustworthy), tie duty of performing the "Haj' is recog nized by all right minded Malays as i'm perative. The peninsula itself probably furnishes far fewer number of pilgrims than the large islands of the archipelag" forming the magnificent territory knowl aS Netherlands Indies. Java and CelebeS BOyan and Bugis, to say nothing of Ii: numerable less known places, now send forth multitudes yearly to visit the sa- cred fanr. It would not at first sight. seem that the journey-made principally i'll we'll ar pointed steamers-involveda any particular lLardshipS
 But the usual conditions of the ''pil grim trafl C" are somewhat differen, from those of ordinary passenger vessels The Malay pilgrim, whose ticket to and from Mecca is provided by a passage broker, has to find his own provisions while on board. In all cases he has to pay slnartly for conveyance from Jedtah to Mecca overland, unless he elects to do the journey on foot, but ill any event he has to provide the necessary commis- sariat. The steamers as a rule are over crowded for ordinary comfort, although permitted by regulation to carry the 800 or more pilgrims who embark. Should, as sometimes happens, an epidemic break out during the voyage the death rate becomes tragical. The worst hard ships, however. commence on landing at the evil smelling and by no means healthy port of Jeddah.
 Few of the pilgrims provide tnem- selves with adequate necessaries to tramp the greater portion of the 100 miles which separate the city of Mecca LANiil ilH iit'sItSl port. t'l worse Is Intlr condition on returning. The price of food Is exOriitant, and thousands perish annually of exhaustion and insufficient nourishment and this despite the best efforts of the British and other consuls at Jeddah, who issue all needful warn ings to the pilgrims. Quarantine, again, tells heavily against the would be Haii. A few extra days detention exhausts his small stock of provisions, and he falls a ready victim to disease. The result is that large proportion of those who visit Mecca never return to their own country. The trade, however, is profit able to steamer owners, much as it is disliked by captains and officers As foi Europeans unfortunate enough to b,. passengers in pilgrim ship, they are not to be cnvied.
