Trouble with the Boys.

Trouble with the Boys.
 An old veteran of the civil war, Col. Gunson, irascibie in his manner but generous at heart, was much annoyed by the boys of the neighborhood, who persisted in climbing upon ard run ming over the fiat roof of his barn, an unpretending structure sloping toward the alley, and easily scaled from the asnbarrel.
 The colonel threatened and seolded but to no purpose. He strung barbed wire along the edge of the barn, but the boys wrapped old clothes aroun4 it and climbed over it. He chained a savage dog on the roof, and the boys made friends with the animal and stole it
 In desperation, he smeaTed tar all over the roof one day, and the boys were temporarily baked, but before they had decided upon plan for cir cumventing the colonel 1t chanced that a teamster, in driving through the al- icy one hot afternoon, lighted his pipe and carelessly threw the match up on the top of the barn. with the result that the roof was ablaze in an in- stant.
 The boys happened to be playing in the alley. Quick as flash they sprang to the rescue. With buckets of water brought from a horse trough in the back yard across the alley they clam bered up to the edge of the roof, and fought the flames so successfully that they put them out before the wood had time to catch fire.
 Boys" exclaimed Col. Gunson, who arrived on the scene in time to witness the triumph of the impromptu fire brig ade, and was full Of generous enthu- siasm, tomorrow shall cover what's left of the tar with sand, strengthen the supports of the roof, and you may play on it all you want to hereafter You've got the right stuff in you"
 The colonel was as good as his word but will it be believed ?-such is the peryersity of boy nature-that after he had turned that roof over to them for playground, not a boy in the neighborhood ever set foot upon it again.
 A Real Princess.
 This little princess is the favorfte granddaughter of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, and her father, the Archduke Rudolf, would one day have been emperor if he had lived
 She has a fine castle, in which she lives with mother, and has many fine horses and carriages, but she lives as simply as most healthy American girls of her age. Both she and her mother are very fond of horseback riding, bicycling and other outdoor exercises, and the people of Austria love her very much, for she is very kind to the poor people and spends a great deal of her time planning for their comfort and happiness. She and her mother, it is said, think more of each other than all the world beside and they are more like two sisters than like mother and daughter.

Busy Animals
at 240000.

The fox is a dealer in poultry but he is nothing more nor less than thief Fat ducks and chickens are his delight, and plump rabbit comes next best.
 The otter and the heron are fisher- men. The otter is not often seen, for he carries on his work mostly under the water but the heron stands with his long, thin legs in the water wait- ing till a fish comes by. Then sud- den plunge with his long, sharp bill and the poor fish is brought up and swallowed.
 The ants are the busiest of all Catch an ant asleep in the daytime if you can. They are always in earnest at their work, building their underground homes and laying up stores of food for the long winter.
 The swallow is fly catcher, and skins tow over the surface of the little streams. It takes great many flies to feed him for just one day and he Is forever at work.
 The beaver is a wood cutter, a build CT anu a mason. It cuts down the small trees with it's teeth, and, after it has built it's house, it plasters it with it's tail
 The snail, too, is a builder, but 1t takes the material for it's house from Its own body. 1t is so anxious to begin work that it commences to build it's house before it is even matched.
 The mole that burrows under the ground makes a little fort under the earth from which it tunnels in every direction, and it makes such clever paths that 1t can run from one to the other and can scarcely be caught.
 The Ns do not all live in hives Ur tree trunks. The mason bee digs a hole in a brick wall and lines it with clay Tn this nest it lays two eggs and closes it up. The miner bee bores long holes in the sandbanks and the car penter bees bore their tunnels in wood. The upholsterer bee lines his nest with poppy leaves. The rose leaf cutter takes a leaf between its jaws, begins near the stalk and cuts out a circle of just the right size and as perfect as as could be marked with a compass. With these circles of fragrant rose leaf 1t divides its round hole in the wall into little cells,

FLorsAM AND JETsAm.

In one of the New York police courts the other day prisoner who had been arrested for drunkenness, and who at the time of his hearing was still some what under the Influence. asked leave to make an explanation. The desired permission having been grant ed, he said with lofty gesture: T am neglected to insomnia. 1 am acrusted to the use of old ale to believe my self, and yesterday I happened to i'm Dribe too great quality of it. It affect ed my brain and became interoxi- dated.'
 A new fad in New York city is pet turtles, and on these warm summer mornings one can see dozens of chil- dren and women around the ponds in Central Park airing and exercising these curious pets. Some of them bring their turtles wrapped in embroidered blankets similar to those used for pet dogs, and there were names embroid- cred in silk upon them. Cupid" :" Turquoise, ,, "Schley," and Dewey" were in "a group. Fastened in the top of each blanket is ring to which 9 chain is attached. The turtles are placed on the ground at the edge of the pond and allowed to crawl into the water as far as the chain will permit them Then they are hauled back and started over again.
 Nansen has settled down as a Nor wegian squire and sportsman, and iS now a member of the great land-own- ing class. His possessions, which cost a considerable sum, lie on the borders of Telemarken, to the south of Lyn- kopf, one of the highest summits of that district. He has become owner of the Sorkfchen Hotel, which was built some years ago for summer tour ists, but will now serve as his private residence. He has also acquired all the surrounding farms of Nord-Fek- jansitz, Sud-Fekjansitz, Alamanboden and the fields along the shores of the Sorje river. His patent for the rights of hunting and fishing h the Numedal is taken out for twenty-five years.

They were at- lacked by typhoid malaria after the fight, and were subsequently sent to the hospital at Ft. McPherson. Ga Miss Annie g. Thomas, a Red Cross nurse who had volunteered for hospital duty in Boston, nursed both of these young soldiers through their illness Then she broke down, and they in turn did everything in their power for her. Eventually she went to Kansas where she owned some property. She then suffered a relapse and died. Il has now been discovered that she was wealthy woman. and by her will she has left to scull and Smith, share and share alike, a hotel in St. Louis valued at $40. 900.

Sent to President Van Buren-Caused
 No End of Trouble.

On the seventh day of the month Of Schawwai, in the year 1254 of the Hegira-xhich is the Arabian way of writing Dec. 25, 1839-the sultan of Oman, whose name was Seyyid Saooid, bin sultan, bin ahmend, addressed a gracious letter to This excellency, Mar tin Van Buren, president of the United States of America" in which he in- formed the president that he had sent him by the royal ship Sultanee few trifes as token of friendship and good feeling, says the Ladies Home Journal. These trifies consisted of two Arabian horses and their groom, me bottle of altar of roses, two pieces If gold, five demijohns of rose water, one Persian carpet, enc gold ornament with silk tassel, four camel's- shawls, one gold-mounted sword, two large pearls, one bottle of diamonds, one gold snuffbox studded with prec- l ious stones and one box of mixed pearls and diamonds. Under the con- ytttution the president is prohibited from accepting personal gift from any foreign state or power, and as the sultans gifts had arrived in New York and the commander of the Sultanee would not leave the country without presenting his masters offerings, an embarrassing complication was the outcome. The matter was finally re. ferred to congress, and after three months of correspondence red tape, diplomacy and legislation the sultan's Christmas presents were finally ac- eepted. and then the president was put to the trouble of selling the horses, the shawls and the rose-water, while Uncle Sam was given the further trouble of finding suitable place to store the remaining gifts. and was af- terward put to great expense in cap turing the thief who carried off the en- tire collection in a bag. and was only caught after a long chase.

A Hymn at a Banquet.


 Under the relaxed discipline just before the return of the troops who fought in the civil war, there wag no lack of merrymaking among the com- rades of the hard campaigns. Squads of them at the different posts met in military quarters and frolicked half the night away. It was at one of these assemblies of the officers of an army corps domiciled in Southern capital that the following incident occurred: They had come together for "a grand old reunion high" to celebrate their victories, swap stories,' and drink each others healths before separating to go back to Gods country" as they called the North. The supply of liquors was plentiful, the supper-room was full of the smoke of burning cigars; the stories kept the laughter loud, and the songs called out every voice in enthu- siastic chorus. The best vocalist in the company, fine young tenor, had been repeatedly appealed to for a solo, but although he seemed quite as jovial as the rest, it was far along in the festivities before he could be induced to sing.
 Come, Harry. pipe up, old fellow; give Is one of your best" and the importantly became too strong to re- sist.
 That an undertide of different emo tion had been gathering power within him, and that Harry was not the only person in the room who had been hiding sober thought, was very. soon evident.
 Well, boys, I'll sing for you," he said at last.
 The noise ceased at once, for most of those present had many times en- joyed his charming voice. He began the tender melody of Franz Apt, When the Swallows Homeward Fly" but instead of the expected lines his astonished listeners caught the words of Charles Wesley-the immortal hymn-prayer which has been so effec- lively set to that favorite tune. He sang with touching pathos. His com rades did not attempt to overcome the l contagl0n or hls feeling.
 Jesus, lover of my soul,
 Let me to thy bosom fly.
 What scene, and what surround ings for such song! Cigars were dropped, and lifted glasses were quietly set down. Surprised faces became con- yulsed W unexplained sympathy. The men thought of the dear old homes they were soon to see, and every nov ing memory came back. Before the singer ended there were tears on many weather-beaten cheeks. One rough cavalryman silently gathered up an armful of bottles, crept on tiptoe to the window, and threw them out. Another and another, till willing hands had helped clear the tables of every sign of liquor. Voices that had a tremor in them said, Sing us another, Harry, and the comrades finished their feast with ehoruses of gospel hymns.
 We gather these facts from the story, "A Song in the Night" by MT. Will liam o. Stoddard, in the Christian En- deayor World !" It was pretty dark spiritually in the army at the close of the civil war, says MT. Stoddard; but the above incident tells how surely 8 swift touch of the magic of real re- ligious power will bring mems holier feelings to light, and turn their friyol- lty into reverent and serious joy.
