THE PEASANT AND THE PRIEST.

An Irish peasant once complained
to the Catholic priest of his parish
that some person had stolen his best
pig and duplicated his reverence to
help him to the discovery of the thief.
The prie st promised his best endeavor
and his inquiries, soon leading him to
guess the offender, he took the follow
ing amusing method of bringing the
matter home to him. Next Sunday.
after the service of the day, he called
out with loud voice, fixing his eve
on the suspected individuals: "Who
stole Pat Doolans pigy''
There was long pause and no an
swer. He did not expect there would
be any and descended from the pulpit
without saying word more.
a second Sunday arriving without
the pig being restored, his reverence,
again looking steadfastly at the stub
born purloiner and throwing deep
note of anger into the tone of his
voice, repeated the question: who
stole Pat Doolan's pig? l say, who
stole Pat Doolan's pig?" Still there
was no answer, and the question was
left as before to work its effect in
secret on the conscience of the guilty
Individual. The hardihood of the
offender, however, exceeded all the
honest priests calculations.
A third Sunday arrived and Pat
Doolan was still without his pig.
Some stronger measures now became
necessary. After service was per-
formed, his reverence, dropping the
question of who stole Pat Doolan's
pig?" but still without directly ac-
cusing anyone of theft, eproachfully
exclaimed: Jimmie Doran, Jimmie
Dorian, you trate me with contempt"
Jimmie Doran hung down his head
and next morning the pig was found
at the door of Pat Doolan's cabin.

VARIETIES.

"A man in Oklahoma heard a noise
at his office door, and thinking that
it was some one peeping through the
keyhole, he injected a little pepper
sauce into it, When he went home,
his wife told him she had been cut
ting wood and chip flew in her eve.
Though time is called a great
healer, he finally buries every one of
his patients.
Some people never realize how
well off they are until they try to
ride bicycle.
Many a man who thinks himself
Il person of note is not so far out of
the way. He may be natural or a
flat.
When a man says he is out of
breath he doesn't know what he is
talking about. He means the breath
is out of him.
A contemporary mentions a case
beyond the ordinary oculist. 1t is
that of a young lady who, instead of
a pupil, has professor in her eye.
"A clergyman in town was once
talking to his Sunday School scholars
and he expressed the hope that they
would never come down stairs without
first saying their prayers. A bright
little boy promptly responded. Il
shan't have to say my prayers be-
cause | don't sleep upstairs
"A good looking, we'll to do bache-
lor, of Cum berland, was being teased
by the young ladies of club for not
being married. He said: ''I'll marry
| the girl of your club whom. on a Sc
cret vote, you elect to be my wife"
There We're nine members of the club.
Each girl went intp corner and used
great precaution in preparing her
ballot and Disgusting her handwriting.
| The result of the vote was that there
was nine votes cast, each girl receiv-
ing one. The young man remains a
bachelor the club is broken up and
the girls are mortal enemies, united in
the one determination that they will
never speak to the nasty man again.

IN SPRING TIME.

When spring doth break and buds do blow,
Then boys and girls a-walking go
In woods and meadows to and fro
To see the leaves unfold,
TO pun the spicy forest root,
10 spy the violet uHderfoot,
To watch the willows :.art and shoot
II warls Of srceny gold.
Now Moira said to Marjorie:
"Wcnl 60 together, Gear, I've see,
For sisters still should loving be
And kind i'll all their ways.
And Il Ne meet The girls and boys
We'll bid them leave their books and toys
And come and share the springtime joys,
The Woodlands morning play"
The first they met was tiny Tim,
All lest il drowsv DRAWINGS din,
And straight the lasses bounced on him
And baGc him trip along,
And next they saw. IN primly pride,
Miss Sue, with Carlo by her side.
Come, come with US" they Sayly cried,
"To hear the wood birds song!'
Now passing down the village street
They met two children small and sweet,
In winter wraps all clad complete,
With huff and fluff and fur.
ooh, fic, for shamc!" the Inaiders cry.
"Comc, throw your furS and muiilcrs byt
The starry cyebriGhts smile and sighl
The pussy willows puri''
Soon every child in oar town,
In jacket, cap or killed gown,
Had left the street so dull and brown
And sought the woodland fair.
The merry sisters led the way,
Marjorie sweet and MORA gay,
And, oh, but happy YVES the play
When once they gathered thcrel
"Winter, they sang, ais cold and lean.
But fair, on fair, is April green,
And sweet, so sweet, Is May, the queen,
With morning i'll her face!
Then let the children dance and sing,
With trip and quip and Joyous fling,
To welcome in the golden spring
In every country place.

MUSIC.

In our age, which is so given to an
alysis, to criticism and debate, music
appeals with a certain disarming
force. 1t utters no dogma, propounds
no theory, questions no mans motive
You may put it to words, but in itself
it is a wordless thing, more subtle and
more persuasive than speech. When
you would lament, it mourns with
you, and when you would dance it
pipes. You cannot argue with it at
all, You must yield to it, or you must
close your ears, as Ulysses did those of
his companions that they might es-
cape the fatal fascination of the song
of the sirens. But that would not be
wise, for music is the consolation of
our time. In an age of machinery it
speaks to the soul.

THEY GET TIE BODY.
Solomon MarabIe's Corpse
Not To be Used for Ana
tOmical Purposes.
1T Is GIVEN TO HIS FRIENDS.
Medical College Authorities Heed Their
Plea and Permit Them to Send the
Murderer's Remains to His Wife.

Richmond Dispatch, July 5, 1885
The body of Solomon Marable, the
Negro hanged at FarmYille on Friday,
will not be used to promote the science
of anatomy.
It was brought TO Richmond for that
purpose. but, through the intervention
of friends of the deceased, the Medical
College authorities were induced to
yield their claim to the body, and il
will be shipped this morning TO the
home of the murderer's wife, in North
Carolina.
This arrangement was not brought
about until late last night, and q
search-warrant and two arrests had
become conspicuous factors in a case
that has attracted great interest in
Virginia during the twelve months
that have elapsed since Mrs. Pollard
was murdered at her home, in Lunen-
burg county.
Marable's body was through mistake
shipped from Farmville to the Univer-
sity College of Medicine, instead of
the Medical College of Virginia, as di-
rected by the secretary OF the Anatom-
ical Board of Virginia. John Mitchell
appeared before some OF the members
OF the board and requested that the
body be given to him for shipment to
/
orders had been given for the delivery
OF the body to the Medical College OF
Virgins, and advised to consult the
faculty of that institution. Instead OF
doing this, however, Mitchell, who had
obtained permission from DIR. Mcclure
of the University College OF Medicine
to get the body, and seeming to think
this sufficient authority had the corpse
taken to w. s. Selden's undertaking
establishment to be prepared for bu-
rial.
On learning this some time later the
secretary of the board, with another
member, went down to Selden's. and
demanded the body, which was refus.
ed. and thereupon warrants we're
sworn out for Mitchell and Selden for
the abduction of the body. Officer
Brown, of the LIST district, served these
papers, and short while later all thai
is mortal OF Solomon Marable was a
the Medical College, being put through
a chemical process to preserve it fol
use for anatomical purposes.
Late last night Mitchell and several
colored ministers, who had interested
themselves in the matter, drove around
to see the Anatomical Board and col
lege authorities, disclaimed any inten.
ton of having designed TO interfere
with or override the authority of tho
board, and obtained an order for the
release of the body.
1 So Solomon Marable, the hanged
murderer, will not suffer the further
humiliation of having his body made q
subject for the surgeons knife.

RICHMOND, Va, July 9, 1885,
Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr:
Editor of Richmond PLANET:
Dear Friend and Brother
l wish you would please be kind
enough to allow me a short space in
your valuable paper. According to
the commandment of our blessed Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ He said in
His holy word, "Give honor to whom
honor is DUE" and / must say, too
much cannot be said in regards TO the
valuable services which you have rem
dered your race all along for several
years past. The last, but not the least
has beaten the records in the United
States.
There has been a great deal said
about your noble services, if my mem
DRY serves me right, all over the Unit
ed States, but l cannot keep silent all
the time and others give all the com
pliments. Too much cannot be said
about your noble acts. Yet, I'VE hope
you will not be served like John the
Baptist was.
In conclusion, / enclose 30 cents to
help to pay the expense on Marable's
body.
