A Philadelphia Lawyers Idea of Thrif

A Philadelphia Lawyers Idea of Thrift
 and How IL Worked.
 Over in Philadelphia dwelt young law student who fell in love just as he was about to be admitted to practice The girls father also belonged to the profession and was reckoned pretty smart, as Philadelphia lawyers go The old fellow gave a partial consent to the young mans pleadings, but con cluded he would try the student and sec if be was worthy to be his son-in- lay So he said:
 "'rhe case of BlauR against Blank has been on the calendar several years. It has been tried, appealed, decision reversed, tried again and comes up again for argument at the next gen eral term. l am counsel for the plain tiff. have had the case four years, but now l turn it over to you Here are the papers; see what you can do. :"
 Tho young man took the papers and went to work with vim born of love flor if he won the case wCuld he not also win bride! At last life seemed to him worth the living He studied the case thoroughly. He consulted the authorities and was loaded and primed for brilliant argument when the court convened. He made bis plea and won the case without any trouble.
 With heart overlooking with joy, he returned to his prospective father in-law and, skipping down the papers, he cXclaimcl:
 "Sec here, sir; the case is won, These are the proofs. What you tried Tor years to do have accomplished at a single term of court, Now, may 1 have your daughter?"
 The old fellow looked up with smile upon his face as he replied
 "I think you fool aud you can't have my daughter. But l will just give you little gratuitous advice: It is true I had the case four years with out winning it and it is also true that l made thousands of dollars out of it. But you have gone and settled it; and what have you made? About fifty dol lars. No, sir, you can't have my daughter!"-N Y. Journal

Pecullarlty of the Mockiur Rlrd.

The most remarkable thing about q moclSing bird is its way of laying out . range In the autumn it goes south and establishes itself on Q piece of ground that will yield berries and other food enough to lust until the following spring The tract is determined re- specting boundaries with as much ac- curacy as mining prospector would use in stalking out q claim. Perhaps it may be only fifty yards square, and it may have length and breadth of as much as one hundred yards. The space depends mainly upon the food supply in sight, but the moclsing bird is Q great glutton and wants ten times the quantity that would be necessary to keep him alive Having laid out his range, the owner will defend it with his life, and no other fruit-eating bird is allowed to enter it.

 Musl,melons have played a part in history. They caused the fall of Arques and led Mack to the capitula- tion of Ulm. One day, says the Paris Le Temps, Abbe Bernis came to dine with the marquise de Pompadour, who was furious because the maitre d'hotel had forgotten to serve melon. Shall get two muskmelons for you, madame?" He paid two louis for them. Delight ful, " said the marquise. My compli ments, Monsieur rAbbe.n Bernis was happy until the moment when the clock struck his eye. "What makes you sad?" asked the pompadour. 'Oh, madame Ia marquise," he replied, "my friend Malvin and l have only one pair of trousers for both of usy and he is wait ing for it to go to dinner" The pompa- dour gave a pension of three hundred thousand livres and an abbey to him. His friend became, under the same pro tection, archbishop of Lyons One evening a strategist was explaining to Bonaparte what he should have done if Mantua had not surrendered.

Darkness That May Be Dispelled by the
 Atlanta Exposition.
 According to story which comes up from Capt Hal Tabb Walker, promi- nent planter of Georgia and a resident of Atlanta, there is ur,cb need of en- lightenment in the southern portion of the state. It seems that man living in that section was sent on some mis- sion up to Atlanta during the month of July last White there he saw and was much interested in the making of arti- hcial ice
 Returning home he told of this to his friends, and for all the fact that he is a good church member and up to that time had been q highly respected citi- zen of the community, he was at once looked upon with suspicion. The feel ing ran so high against ltiur for telling and persisting in telling that men, com hot month of July, something they de- clarcd the Lord could not do, that he was threatened with expulsion from the church.
 He did his best to defend himself, and at last suggested that delegation of the most reputable church members go with him to Atlanta, where, he as serted, he would prove his statement to their entire satisfaction. The elders, willing to give him a chance, did select committee, which with the accused proceeded to Atlanta, and there, of course, they saw that their brother was right and that men, common mortals, did make ice in July
 They all returned home and as quick ly as possible meeting was called to hear the report. When the elders heard the delegation declare, as had the brother before it, tfat ice was really made in Atlanta in July they arose in their wrath and churched the whole lot of them.

TOM MooRs's SWEETHEART.

 Greenwood Cemetery.

She Lies Buried ln Nameless Grave In
 Greenwood Cemetery.
 Only those who are thoroughly con Fersant with the innumerable high ways and byways of Greenwood ceme- tery in Brooklyn know of a section called "The Hill of Graves" The sec ton, says the Ladies Home Journal, derives its name from the fact that nearly forty thousand unfortunates are buried there in rows of fifty. One would never think of looking for spot of interest in that locality. To find any particular grave in this public burying ground one needs the aid of cemetery guide. And even such a guide has difficulty, since the graves are known only by numbers. Upon looking at the records of the cemetery it was found that the special grave de- sired in this instance was in public lot No S,999, and that the number of the mound was sO5. When the grave was found it was not unlike the thousands around it. The mound was sunlIen and neglected; the grass, once green upon 1t, is long since dead. A small white marble stone stands at the head, upon which is inscribed: Mother and Grandmother" Nothing is there to indicate the fact that underneath that sunken mound lies all that is mortal of beautiful Mary Duff, to whom the poet Thomas Moore offered his hand and heart, whose beauty he immortalized in his verse. and who. in the maturity of ner career, won the applause of thou sands upon thousands of people whom her name attracted to all the great theaters of Europe and America, as one of the most gifted of actresses.

 It seems almost stretch of the i'm agination to think of rabbits climbing trees. Yet in Australia many rabbits have somehow acquired the tree-climb- ing habit, having been forced, on ac- count of the prosecutions of dogs and other animals, to drop borrowing and initiate squirrels,
 An Australian sent on to England re- gently the two front feet of rabbit that had been killed on an acacia, three yards from the ground, and he wrote in his letter that this was not at all re- marlable thing, and he had often found

Elder George Champlin was a colored preacher who exercised his calling for many years in Rhode Island. He was man of excellent common sense and no little wit. At one time some of his hearers com plained that he had been rather too personal and severe in one of his ser mons. When l am preaching" re- sponded the elder with shrewd glance from his sharp eyes at the re- monstrants, "when am preaching, I try to shoot right at the devil every timeS but if anyone gets betloeen me and the devil, why, of course, brethren, he will be liable to get hurt. ."--Youtn's Companion.
