The Young Orator Squelched.

Senator Voorhees, often entertains
his friends with "reminiscences of his
early law practice, says the Household,
when he was struggling laboriously TO
make q reputation and to get on in the
world. He was employed at one time
in the defense of murderer. It was
desperate case. The evidence of the
crime was direct and positive. His
clients reputation was bad, and there
seemed to be no extenuating circum-
stances. The young lawyers only
available resource was oratory in sum-
ming up the case. He threw himself
into his work with characteristic ardor.
The Kentucky court room audience
was profoundly affected by his elo-
quence. The jury in the box were
overcome with emotion, and sevcrs'
members of the panel were wiz in !,
their eyes suspiciously when the orato.
took his seat.
The prosecuting attorney was an old
man, gruff in manner, and with shrill,
piping voice. He had listened to the
appeal of young Voorhees, without q
sign of sensibility. He had not, how
ever, overlooked the effect which had
been produced upon the susceptible
jury. He rose slowly from his seat
and took pinch of snuff with great
deliberation. He looked at the bench
and then glanced sharply in the direc-
tion of the jury. Then he remarked
with a strong nasal twang:
Gentlemen of the jury, you might
as well understand from the very be-
ginning that l am not boring for
water !"
There was an instant's pause, and
then the audience was convulsed with
merriment. A single dry sentence from
the shrewd old prosecutor sufliced to
overwhelm with ridicule the eloquent
pleadings of his ambitious opponent,
who had no case, yet had nearly sue
ceeded by his eloquence and pathos in
securing the acquittal of the prisoner.
Then, taking second pinch of snuff,
and paying no further attention to the
argument for the defense, the prose
cutor summed up the evidence in a
plain, business-like way, and compelled
the jury, by sheer force of reason and
common sense, to convict the muir
lerer

A TIgress spares a Dog.

During Captain Whites travels in
Cochin China the then Viceroy gave
HIM magnificent tipress five feet
long and three feet high.
On reaching Saigon, where he found
dogs dirt cheap, he used to give his
pet one of these animals every day.
The dog was thrown alive into her
cage. She would play with it awhile
as cat plays with a mouse, then her
eyes would begin TO glisten and her
tail to culver; she seized her prey by
the neck and in n minute or two 1t
was all up with poor "bow-wow.
One day, however, q puppy, SEEM
ingly in no way different from the
common herd of puppies, instead Of
tamely submitting to his fate, showed
fight. II snapped at the tigress's nose
and bit it till the blood came. The
tigress, far from rosenting the attack,
seemed to treat it as joke, and when
the spirited little dog grew tired of the
fun the tigress patted 1t as If II had
been cub of her own. Then the two
lay down and had a comfortable nap.
Thenceforth they were the best of
friends, and TO humor this queer
friendship Captain White had a small
hole cut in the tigress's cage, that the
puppy might go and come rs it
pleased. 1t often took trot abroad,
but it always returned to its dog
vouring friend.
To test the extent of the tigress's
affection strange dog was offered to
it one day at dinner time, and was
then hastily snatched from its hungry
jaws and the puppy friend thrown
into the cage. But friendship tri-
umphed over the pangs of hunger
and not on this occasion only, but
whenever the Captains crew thought
fit to repeat the experiment. st.

To Toll Around the World.

The travels of the Columbian Lib
erty Bell will be far more extensive
than have hitherto been mentioned.
Not only did it leave the Grand Cen
trail Palace in New York to go to Nash
Vile, New Orleans, Mexico and the
Mid-winter Fair at San Francisco, but
J. d. Prince, under whose manage
ment its extended tour will be made,
announces that the bell will be taken
to the continent of Europe for a stay
of at least year.
First it will go to England, to be
rung on the historic meadow of Runny-
mede on June 10, 1894, in celebra-
tion by the English speaking world of
the anniversary of the signing of the
Magma Charta. After that it will be
taken to France to participate in ami
versaries connected with political
freedom, and to Germany for the same
purpose, its next destination being St.
Petersburg, where it will be rung on
the anniversary of the emancipation
of the serfs.
Next it will go to Italy and thence
to Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo
and thence through Australia, India,
China and Japan, back to the Pacific
coast, making virtually circuit of the
world. q. S. Knapp, custodian foI

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.

ant to the tastey the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because il acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

TEMPERANCE.


| A HAsIEls
NV friend was q guest OF the morning train ,
And once, rs prosperous town II neared,
| He idly glanced through the wlndow-p1ne,
And this is the picture that appeared
A good-faced man in a fepdish plight
His checks were bloated and stained With
red
| He slept the day Of u sin-cursed night,
A pillow Of stones beneath his head
By him the midnlghts revelling storm
Sent stains to the mornings balmy breath,
And manhood's towering, godlike form
Lay low in the tomb OF drunkari-death.
And close 10y his side a woman stood,
And hrooded this wreck Of a man above
| Her brow was glimpse of all things good
Her eyes were symbols of home and love
stood close by his side. aud yet apart,
A motionless gesture OF despair
As II she would clasp him to her heart,
If only the man himself were there.
She stood as maybe, il she had known
What marks the one she had found there
bore,
| She had prayed to God with bitter moan
To keep her searching for evermore.
! She stood like one who had felt the touch
OF needless worry and senseless strife
Who early in years had learned how much
OF death there is in a woman's life.
She stood like one who had set a goal
Who ne'er by her God would be denied,
Until He had helped her lead that soul
Safe up TO the hill-tops by her side.
An this appeared in a moments glance
This ilash-light picture OF grief and wrong
The train made sudden and swift advance,
But carried the husband and wife along
For ever after. my friend confessed.
Went with him that scene of crime and
pain;
Through days OF striving and nights of rest
II hung in the halls of his heart and brain.
And other pictures are wont to throng
OF sleeping children and waking wives
Waiting and waiting the whole night long
For one they love as they love their lives
OF praying for him till night is DER;
OF listening for his step in vain,
Then searching as il on fields OF gore.
And finding him almost worse than slain.
But sometimes these will vanish away:
And Faith is painting promise bright
That God, and Woman, and Home, some
day,
viii draw Mankind TO the hills of right.

The old saying "a green Christmas

it further says, that the year will bring forth
much sickness, wherein pains and aches,
rheumatic complaints, soreness of joints and
limbs will abound. In the olden times there
were few preventives for pain, few cures for
complaints. 1t is not so now. Even old
Santa Claus has learned thing or two. In

had been spending a very pleasant time
in this city in company with his wife, and
was about to return home via the narrow
gauge railroad. He had purchased his
tickets at the ferry landing. and his wife
tTipped aboard the steamer Bay City while
her bus band fingered to purchase news

Mir. Wemple to the fact that time and
ferryb boats wait for no one. He made a
wild dash for the entrance gate. but was
Just a second too late.
He hammered on the portal, but it was

just as the boat began to move out of the

deck, reaching out her arms toward him.
and close by were two deckhauds, also
waving their hands toward him. Not real
ling that they were warning him to STAY
back, Mr.. Wemple made a wild dash for
the Teceding boat over the apron that was
just being raised.
He missed the boat about two feet and
went down into the water with a splas b,

from his Mortified wife. Other women in
the boat also began TO cry oul, while man

to grasp it and was hauled dripping on the
