The Lecturer. Biunder.

A
 One of the institutions of New York that are praised by all the public with out reserve is the course of free lec- lures in the public schools. These lec- lures are given before splendid audi ences and, as rule. by persons of veracity and intelligence. Occasion ally, however, in order to get lecture on rare subject great risks are run.
 Recently a lecture was given by a person who had been on an excursion to the North cape. Among other won- derful things he saw there was the eclipse of the sun. He gasped for breath as he told of the weirdly grand sight He told of the streamers of fire that blazed from the obscured orb to all quarters of the heavens. But his frenzy carried him too far for public school audience, for he, declared that among the stars made visible in the midst of day he saw the planets cir cling in their courses. He even called the planets that he saw by name, but he made a fatal mistake. He said he saw Neptune.
 This. statement called for round of sarcastic applause that he mistook for commendation. for he smiled in a hap py way as it echoed through the halls. Evidently he did not know that Nep- tune is invisible except with the most powerful telescope.-New York Mail and Express.

TOMMY'S RISE AND FALL.

Tommy was ruled by his father and
 mother, Tommy was bossed by his elder brother. Tommy was tyrannized over each hour By very small maid with the face of
 flower. But one day Tommy was given a wheel, And he felt like king a throne Of
 steel. Now. sudden rise from a serf to king Has always proved dangerous thing. The people who come into pSwer too quick Go up like a rocket and down like a stick. King Tom, before the first day was done. Was emperor, sultan and czar in one. He owned the pavement. he owned the
 street, He van the officers off their beat; He frightened the coachmen out of their
 wits As he scorched right under the horses
 bits. Pedestrians fled when they saw him ap-
 proach. He caused disaster to carriage and coach. For he never turned out and his pace
 never slowed; His bell was a signal to clear the road. And l would not repeat-indeed. not l. What the carmen said when his bike went King Tom only wnked in their eyes. with
 a grin. Proud of his power to make them sin. And bolder and bolder each day he grew.
  And he was certain he owned the earth And all that was on it from girth to girth And he always got off without hurt or
 scratch Till all of a sudden he met his match. Relsn.ng one time in his usual splendor, He came face to face with a tram cars
 fender. He rang his bell for the right of way, But bker may ring till his hair turns
 gray
 And green tram car or It's cousin, trolley. Will pay no heed to that sort of folly. All that King Tom recalls of that day Was riding into the Milky Way. Where he saw all the stars in the heav-
 ens-well There isn't much more of his reign to tell He gave his wheel to his brother Bill And walks on two crutches and always
 will,
 And he says. as he looks at his wooden
 leg. N. s-t T went up like rocket and down like .
