donkey, I'll ask you riddle to-day :
What is that creature whose hide is gray
Whose ears are large and whose sense is
small,
Who cries Ye.aw. and walks with lazy
crawl?"
"Dear boy, that's too hard and too deep
for me,
Pray tell me what may this creature be ?"
Then the boy laughed loudly, and said
$50 to!
You fool-isl, donkey, spoke Of YOU"
The ass pricked his ears but could not
make out
Whatever the boy was talking about.
And the child went a-way-he was wrong,

For who'd give donkey riddle to
guess?

Scribner's Magazine for March opens
with the second article by Joel Chandler
Harris on "The Sea Island Hurricanes'-
this one dealing especially with the great
relief work which is being conducted by
Miss Clara Barton and the Red Cross
Society. The distress in these islands is
likely to increase until the first crop
shall be gathered in the late spring, 80
that the necessity is apt to be directed at
time when the public has. for the most
part, lost interest in the catastrophe. Mr..
Harris, in his tour for scribner's
Magazine through all those islands, has
presented not only the distressing part Of
the catastrophe but the humorous side OF
it which the sea-island negro SO plenti-
fully furnished. He has used the finest
literary skill in depicting these strange
islands and their picturesque inhabitants,
so that after reading the article one feels
that he has actually lived in new and curl.

An Armenian Legend.

Ararat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises 1900
feet above the vast fiat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early in the morn
ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and
the neighboring mountains are buried
in shadow, the white top of the Scrip
tural mountain CLEANS beautiful in the
first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and Pharbee man
laid wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one who saw it first
was to box the others ears. Very
well. said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly. while the dew
H. Itching to punish his enemy. stood
looking eastward. and with eager eyes
watched the whole night for the sunrise.
Early in the morning. the Pharbee man
rose, and pointing to the top of Ararat'
which was already shining in the sun,
cried loyfully, Il see it," The devil
was yanquished. The Pharbee man,
with his strong hand, boxed the devil $
ears. Ever since that time, the devil
has been afraid of the people of the AT
menian village of Pharbee. Woman $

During the civil war volunteer officers
new to soldering uttered many orders not
In true military form, though perhaps not
the less eiiective on that account. The fol-
lowing stories ARE related OF Major Moody
OF the Twenty Michigan regiment:
He had been sea captain on Lake Su-
perlor, aud not unnnturally some OF his old
lingo came to his tongue now and then In
moments Of keen excitement. Once, while
his company was In line OF battle behind
some protection, some Of the men exposed
themselves recklessly In spite OF his repeat
ed orders. At last he lost his patience ell
tirely, and rushing in front of his company
shouted.
Boys bear hand and keep down, or,
by Jupiter. III send every mothers son Of
you afr
On another occasion, while advancing In
line OF battle In the Wilderness under
heavy fire. he was so anxious to keep his
alignment that he forgot his tactics and his
military phrases and went back TO his ma
tive element and was heard all along the
line giving his commands;
"Luff, boys. luif steady, steady-luff,
lun - there, steady now give 'em every
shot In the ocker."-Youth's Companion.

Before Mr. Adams left homo that
Sunday morning he filled bag with
rags and took II with him. When he
had been in the pulpit few minutes
the draft began to make itself felt,
aud he deliberately took handful OF
rags from his bag and stuffed them into
the window. The sermon dwolt upon
the duties of congregations toward their
ministers, and he soon became very an
imated, and brought down both fists
with tremendous force upon the pulpit
cushion. The feathers scattered in ov.

claim, Why, how these feathers flyi'

He had fulfilled his brother minis
