IN A FALSE POSITION.

The most striking specimen of a false
position was, perhaps, that in which a
friend of mine, not unknown in the COM
mercial world, found himself in his eff
forts to escape the jury list. He had
evaded it for some time by the assist
ance of an official in consldera ton of a
certain douceur. but he had got tired of
paying what had been in fact an annu-
ity, and wanted the thing to be done
with for good and all. For f1O,' said
the official, II will guarantee that you
shall never be troubled again." and the
money was paid.
When the day came for his attendance
at the. court, my friend John Jones let
me call HIM could not resist the temp
tation of seeing how his money had been
invested and repaired to Westminster.
where justice was then administered: He
described the sensation of hearing John
Jones' called out as rather peculiar; It
was called out second time. and he
could hardly resist answering TO his

time he felt quite eerie, and much more
so at what took place In consequence.

And trembled with fear at your frown2
In the old churchyard in the valley, Ben

In a corner obscure and alone.

And Alice lies under the stone.
Can't you remember the hickory tree,
Which stood at the foot of the hill.
Where together we've lain in the monday

The mill wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben
The rafters have tumbled in,
And the quiet which crawls round the
walls as you gaze
Has followed the olden din.
Do you mind of the cabin of logs. Ben
At the edge of the painless wood
And the button-ball tree with its motley

Which nigh by the doorstep stood?
The cabin to ruin has gone. Ben Bolt,
The tree you would seek in vain.
And where once the lord of the forest

Are the grass and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school, Ben

With the master so cruel and grim.
And the shaded nook in the running

Where the children went to swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave, Ben
The spring of the brook is dry.

!. BIG MOOSE SHOT IN MAINE.
CFrom the Boston Herald.l

lErOIn bOSID1L IlSielAA.I
One of the finest specimens Of the
monarch of the forest ever seen in the
eastern part of Maine was brought in
to Bangor a. few days ago. The moose
was a magnificent animal. 1t was shot
near Chairback mountain, in the Ka-
tahdin iron works region. The animal
was placed in front of one of the city
markets, which had also a. fine display
of other game, such as deer, sartbou,
partridge, woodcock, etc. giving the
market more the appearance of
camp, than a shop in the
middle of a city. Photographs Of the
whole were taken, with the large
moose well in front. The animal was
purchased by S. L. Crosby, who will
mount it entire. 1t weighed 1909
pounds, was seven feet in height at the
shoulders, measured nine feet from the
tip OF the nose to the root of the tail and
the antlers spread four feet and four
inches. The antlers were a fine set,
and the whole animal was remarkable
in every waV.
