A Charmed Lire.

The scenery along the Kentucky riv- CT above and below Harrodsburg has been justly compared to the highlands of the Hudson. Towering cliffs hun dreds of feet In height impress the be- holder. In Historical Sketches of Kentucky" an incident is told of one of the highest of these.
 Jotham Strout was hoeing corn in the bottom just opposite the ferry, when his attention was attracted by rat ting noise above his head. Looking up, he was staggered at seeing man tumbling down the fearful precipice, now touching and grasping at twig, now at a root, without being able to check himself. Finally, with a crash ing of limbs, he landed In the top of buckeye tree about 50 feet above the general level of the bottom.
 MT. Strout ran to the place with all haste, dreading to find dead man and not doubting he would be terribly in- jured if alive, for the distance the man had fallen was ITO feet, and from the last point where he had touched the rock to the top of the tree where he lodged was 45 feet.
 Fancy MT. Strout's surprise, then, to find the man standing erect at the foot of the tree, feeling of his arms and body.
 Are you hurtY' cried Mir. Strout.
 That's what I'm trying to find out, my friend" was the answer. Its my impression that am alive, but rather sore."
 Not bone was broken, and despite . few bruises the man seemed to be as sound as before the terrible fall.
 "That fellow bore a charmed life" was MT. Strout's remark whenever he told the story.

Leighton and the Poor Student.


 Of Leighton's hearty, eager helpful ness many instances might be given. Here is One. After a certain prize day at the academy a student was passing through the first room on his way to the entrance. He looked the picture of dejection and disappointed wretched- ness-poorly and shabbily dressed and sinking away as if he wished to pass out of the place unnoticed. Millais and Leighton, walking arm In arm, came along, pictures of prosperity.
 Leighton caught sight of the poor, downcast student. Leaving Millais, he darted across the vestibule to him and, taking the students arm, drew him back into the first room and made him sit down on the ottoman beside him. Putting his arm on the top of the otto- man and resting his head on his hand, Leighton began to talk as he alone could talk, pouring forth volumes of earnest, rapid utterances, as if every thing In the world depended on his words conveying what he wanted them to convey. He went on and on. The shabby figure gradually seemed to pull itself together, and at last when they both rose he seemed to have become another creature, Leighton shook hands with him, and the youth went on his way rejoicing.
 It Is certain that if other help than advice were needed 1t was given. But 1t was the extraordinary zest and vital ity which Leighton put into his helI which made 1t unlike any other. He fought every one's cause as others fight their own.-London Telegraph.

 "It has always been curious puzzle why Franklin, the man of ripe age, of commanding distinction and of approv- cd literary skill, vas not selected to write the Declaration instead of Thorn as Jefferson, then only B years old and comparatively unknown" says John G,Iper Speed in The Saturday Even Ing lost "It could not be that Frank lin was passed by because he had done everything in his power to avert the war and reconcile the differences be tween the colonies and the mother country, for all wise men in the colo nies did all that honor permitted in that direction until the die was cast. No; it was not a fear of Franklin's ear nestness In the cause of the colonies. It was probably the fear of Franklin's humor.
 He was not only the greatest man of his time, but he was one of the greatest humorists of any time. And so his associates were possibly afraid that he would put joke in the Decla- ration and passed him by and selected the lank young yIrginian with the free kled face.
