An English clergyman who was sud.
denly called on to preach to IA con-
gregation of college students was un-
able to speak without notes, aud had
only one written sermon with him,
which was on the duties of the mar
ried state, The topic was hardly one
that he would have chosen for tue oc-

The Atlanta Constitution observes /:
The new directory of st. Paul gives
that city population of 10000,
whereupon the Minneapolitans ex.
claim; ooh, wait till you hear from our
directory man. He's not slow. He will
rise to the occasion. With these rival
cities 1t is question of which direc.
tory comes out last, or, as Colonel
Carter, of Western Texas, used to say /:

browning Boy Saved by a Dog.

A large Newfoundland dog saved II
boys life at Baltimore yesterday, The
boy is Howard Connanbaugh, eight
years old, aud the dog, formerly a
tramp, is now cared for by Edward
Lynch. The boy and the dog wero
romping on the dock in the morning,
when the boy accidently fell over
board. There is twenty feet Of water
in the dock. The big Newfoundland
saw the boy fall, and just as he came
to the surface sprang into the dock
and swan TO the fast-sinking boy.
The boy clutched the woody hair on
the dogs neck, which kept him adoat,
and then the dog started to swim with
his burden to the other side of the
dock. A man rushed to the rescue,
and when the dog reached the place,
jumped into rowboat and managed
to pull both the dog and the boy out
of the water. The dog became II hero
in the eyes of the people who had
been attracted TO the scene, aud he
was given a first-clas5 dinner for his
heroism. Baltimore American.

TO A SUNBEAM.

So, lightly touch her dreaming head,
Nor sunder eyelids sealed asleep.
But feck with fire the shining sweep
OF hair about her pillow shed,
So, lightly come and 60.
And lose yourself and find yourself
In tawny tangles OF her hair;
Content you with the golden snare
Nor venture Ikea saucy elf,
To stray below her chin.
On carven temples lightly lie,
Nor vex the amcer eye that's hid
Meath either violet-veiled lid,
All! swoon across her cheek and die
Upon her fervent mouth.
For, having slipped the honey there,
You may not live another hour,
To wanton with another flower
Nor burning rose-nor lily rare,
But perish in the kiss.
