Eerncious African DWARF.

Henry NJ. Stanley, in describing his

says that the most formidable foes he

These diminutlve men had only little
bows aud arrows for weapons, so small
that they looked like children's play

arrow was n drop Of poison which

defense was by means of poison and

They would steal through the dense
forest, and waiting In ambush, let fly

Into these bitches and on these spikes
man and beasts would fall or step 10
their death. One OF the strangest
things about 1t was that their poison

BrIbing spurgeon.

The recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Charles H.. Spurgeon contains an
account OF what may he termed an
early business venture, and its infn-
ence on his character. Spurgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmother
eoaxed him with money 10 learn them.
AT first she gave him a penny, but when
she saw how easily It was earned. the
old lady reduced the prize to a half
penny and then TO a %farthing. There Is
no telling how low the amount per
hymn might have fallen. but just at
this time his grandfather made a dis
covery which seemed more desirable to
S%purgeon. He discovered that his
house was oyerrun with rats, and Of
fered his grandson a shilling Il dozen
for all he could kill. The occupation
of rat-killing gave him more money
than learning hymns. but" Mr.. Spur

H RoYLEss TOWN.

A cross old woman OF long ago
Declared that she hated noise:
"The town would be so plea SAINT, you
know.
II only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about II till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then Of a sudden the town grew still,
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot, where they used TO meet,
Was a sight 10 make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base
And the paths that the runners made.
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game WAS played.
The dogs were sleeping the l~ivelong day;
Why should they bark or leap
There wasn't Il whistle or call TO play,
And 50 they could only sleep.
The pony Weighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Ghirped only a dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went 10 waste;
There was no one 10 climb the trees:
And nobody had a single taste,
Save only the birds aud bees.
There wasn't a messenger boysnot one,
To speed as such messengers can:
II people wanted their errands done
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little. | ween, of frolic and
noise;
There WAS less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town. since It lacked its boys,
Was the dreariest place ON earth.
The poor old woman began TO weep.
Then awoke with a sudden scream:
Dear me-" she cried, Il have been asleep
Aud oh. what n dreadful dream."
