A Certain Man.

Apreacher, who had great '1iberty''
was preaching from a part of the
thirtieth verse of the tenth chapter
of Luke-"A certain man went d own
to Jericho, and fell among thieves =
He opened his discourse thus: "My
brethren, the Bible is a wonderful
book. It says SO much in a word.
Now, there is very little said about
the character of this man that fell
among the thieves; but I know just
what sort of man he was: And,
first he was sober man; secondly.
he was a punctual man; thirdly, he
was an Industrious man; and fourthly
he was a married man. And { learn
all this about the man from one sim
gle word that the bible says about
him; it says he was a certain man.
Now, we all know that there is no
certainty in a drunkard, there is no
certainty in a man who is not pune
tual to his engagements, no certainty
in an idle loafer, and there is not one
of these bachelors in forty that you
can trust"

False Philanthropy.

1t is one of the strange inconsistent
cies of human nature that men pre-
fer to do good through the medium
of benevolence rather than through
that of Justice. 1t is not uncommon
to find the seller exerting everyenergy
to get more than a tair price Tor his.
goods, and the buyer putting forth
equal efforts to obtgin them for less
than their true value, and yet both
subsequently uniting to found some
charitable institution, to uphold a
church, to promote a. reform, to
relieve distress.
There are men who will grind the.
faces of the poor in the morning in
their business and in the afternoon
subscribe a good round; sum to pro-
vide them with food and shelter
There are women, *both, wealthy and
of moderate means, who will drive a.
sharp and hard bargain and will
give only the smallest possible sum
to those whom they employ to work
for them, yet who will willingly give
far more than they thus save when
tale of distress arouses their SYM
pathies and excites their pity.
Schemes of philanthropy cannot
atone for acts Of injustice.-New
York Ledger.

The London Elevated,

Brooklyn Citizen.
Climbing up the steps to the elevat.
ed station near Manhattan Beach
crossing the other evening I heard
an old lady behind me remark to a
companion:
ooh, dear! I wish the elevated
road was on the ground"
| was just tired enough to sympa-
thize with the dear old soul, however
absurd her wish. The remark re-
minded me OF a controversial tilt
had with young Englishman some
time ago. He had lately arrived on
our shores, and was expatiating on
London's superiority to anything
we had here. He was pushing me
pretty severely, when an idea struck
me:
"Look at our elevated roads, /
said. "You haven't any elevated
roads in London" =
ooh, yes we have,' he answered I'M
abashed, ':but we put the blooming
things under ground so that they
don't disfgure the streets" ~

ally. @.- s-.y ~.@ !.

A Mistaken Whale.

A letter from Adelaide, Australia,
to the Pail Mall Gazette says that
July II, while Capt. Hepwornh, r.
N. r., OF the steamship Port AIDE
laide, was taking his sights, he no
ticed a long sperm whale alongside,
SO close that his spouting wetted the
deck. The creature had evidently
lost his ''school," and mistaken the
ship for one of it's own SD ecies. He
remained with it for four days and
nights, and Travelled 800 nautical or
1925 statute miles without a rest,
and, as far as one could gather, with
out food, He was never more than
seventy yards away, and for the
most part close against the ship, IN
der her quarter, where the draught
made swimming easier for him. The
length of the animal was about forty
seven feet. The first day he was
very livel y, diving frequently beneath
the ships bottom, on one occasion
scratching himself severely. After
that he kept close alongside like a
tired Ne ,wfoundland dog.

A Grateful Woman,

A touching scene was enacted in
Governor Gordon's office at Atlanta,
recently. He had just issued a
pardon to Columbus Pless, who has
benin the coun ty chain gang for one
month for carrying concealed weap-
ons. Mrs. Pless, a typical Georgia
cracker who engineered the pardon,
dealt with Judge Nesbit, the COVER
nor's private secretary, and when
the pardon was given her she called
Gods blessing down upon him.
About this time Governor Gordon
entered the room, and Mrs. Pless
was told that he had issued the par
don. :'That's Governor Gordon"
'Oh, yes, he's the Teller that heard
tell of that's about to lose his job"
The woman with streaming eyes then
shook hands with the governor, and
turning to Judge Nesbit, said: II
heard tell about his losin' his Job and
I'm powerful sorry bout it, but
good man | hope he'll soon get er-
nuther an better one than this Job,
an hope the boss man will never
get ernuther hand as good as him."

A Shower of HOnev.,

A few days ago five gentlemen Of
this place drove away in a. carriage,
taking with them guns and cooking
utensils. Bringing up about noon
near spring in a dry canyon, they
kindled a fire for preparingslunch.
AS soon as frying pan and coffee-pot
began doing duty over the burning:
tagots honey. as good and: pure as
bees hereabout make-in Jumps. from
the size of drops to gobs larger than
human fists-rained or fell: into. fry
ing-pan or coffee pot, sweetening
cooking game and boiling. coffee
water. The startled Nimrods found,
that as the fire was reduced the.
honey-shower also diminished and
ceased entirely with it's subsistence.
Not having vessels for saving the.
honey, the favored FIVE" discoveries
of this remarkable phenom enon de-
cided to revisit the place a. few days
hence for conveying away in proper
vessels the falling mama, of which
they expected to secure quite a. lot.
The witnesses of the shower are re-
liable, and, if it is demanded, will
each make affidavit to the above
stated facts. Their names, furnished
this office, are withheld by request.:

tclared such an act go Sc distinctly
unprofessio nal and departed from
the place; but the daughter Of Eve
yielded, rather to ease Masgie's
mind than for any thing else. She
tripped softly up the stairs and en-
tered a room hot as an oven, stuffy,
with closed windows, furnished with
q great deal Of useless elegance, and
saw, sitting over an untasted tea
cup, an old ma n ina crimson fts dress
ing gown. His head was bent on his
bosom and his hair was quite white.
AS she entered he turned his face to-
ward her and she saw her father.
She saw also, thank Heaven, that
his face was the face of a man in iull
possession Of his senses. =
"Jane!" he cried, and she flew to
him and knelt before him, encircline
him with her arms. "Jane, Janet"
He chung to her sobbing. Glow did
you find .me?" he asked. ,"Di3 YOU
know she had me locked up? [ am
not crazy. Two doctors swore to it
at her bidding; but am not. She
has my money; she enjoys herself,
and she leaves me here. I did not
believe a woman could do such
thlngs-that such things could be
done to any man. Jane my sole de-
pendence is on you. am utterly
broken down.
Little Miss Doctor never faltered.
II will take you from this place."
she said" I found you only by
chance. Maggie, this is my father.
You were right. He is quite sane. J
shall take him with me. Get his hat
and coat"
Maggie, trembling with terror,
obeyed. The daughter dressed her
father as though he had been child,
and led him down stairs. Her little
gig stood outside the gate. Maggie
unlocked it. At this instant a keep
er, great, Misunderstanding fellow,
appeared. He commanded her to
stop. She continued on her way.
He attempted to use brute force.
Little Miss Doctor dubbed her whip,
struck him a violent blow that sent
him reeling backward, and, as he for
tunately tripped over a stone and
fell his length along the ground, she
had time to follow her father into the
vehicle.
Then away they drove, and were
soon safe in the streets of the city.
Many people heard of the legal pro-
ceedings that followed. Mrs. Pabor,
with her white lashes and cruel m outh,
appeared in court, but could not
prove her husband a mailman. Be-
ing in his right mind, he regained
possession of his vast property, and
appeared again as before in the world
of the living.
The wicked woman had secreted a
considerable amount of money, and
with this she fled. She has since been
seen travelling in Europe, under an
assumed name and as a widow.

The New Wife.

Rose and Jenny were young ladies
when their father decided to marry
again. The new Mrs. Pabor at once
took violent dislike to the young
girls, and so worked upon the old
mans mind that he gradually grew
to distrust them, and the daughters
finally made up their minds to go
and live by themselves.
In time Rose married happily, and
had happy home, while Jane, after
graduating from a medical college,
began to practice as aphysician. In
all this time not a word had they
heard from the father they still fond
lysloved.
So years passed on. Rose had
three children. Jane was spoken of
highly among the doctors, and was
no longer despised and sneered at.
She made money now, but never
neglected the poor people who could
only pay her in blessings. Among
them was woman whom she had
saved from a painful death by a lit
tie bit OF "heroic'' surgery. Her
name was Maggie Gleason. The
poor woman had found a place at
last as housemaid in a private in
sane asylum, to which wealthy fam
lilies sent those among them whose
minds were astray. 1t was a hand
some place, surrounded by trees and
shut in by a stone wall. Sometimes,
when Jane Pabor drove out that
way, she stopped to speak to Mag
gle, and on one occasion found the
woman in greatly agitated condi-
ton. -
II want to speak to you, ma am"
she said. t'But Pm half afraid I'd
lose my place if any one heard, and
it's good one; but you'll keep it to
yourself. Do you think, Miss Doc
tor, dear, that they ever put people
into 'sylums who are no more crszy
than you and I are?"
cit has been done, Maggie, said
Miss Pabor. { y
well there's an old gentleman
here that doesn't seem out of the
way to me-" said Maggie. "And in
dade, he tells me he is not a bit
wrong; only them that put him in
want his money. But the doctor.
tells me crazy folks always do be
thinking the loike of that. So /
dare say no more. But I wish you
could see him, Miss Doctor, dear.
And no tine better than this, for the
ould doctor is away and the nurses

wiser. just come up with me and

me. Come up.

Three suitors sought her bower.
9. Give me, pray, Z the maiden said
To each, thy layorite flower.
The lord, he took al lily fair
That grew is regal pride;
This flower place on thy raven hair: 4

The knight, he plucked rose and cried
TT his flower place on thy breast. . s
4 The bard a violet gave, and sighed,
.:Ahl near thee let it rest. . g. So
.Come back again at Autnmn-tide #
And meet me in my bower.
And We shall learn, the maid replied,
How fares it with each flower. y
AT Autumn-tide they stood once more
Beside the maiden bright. S.
Then from q vase the flowers she bore
And placed them in their sight.
The lily leaves we're dull and strained;
The shrivelled rose was dead; ~
The odorous violet fresh remained
s .sThe bard, she cried, '.I'll wed.''
