Instructine the Jury.

"After the war;" said Senator Bacon,
''there was great shortage of judges
in the south. In Georgia many men
were put on the bench who had no
training in the law. At circuit court
one of these judges presided, and the
two lawyers who were trying case
before him thought to have some fun
with him. After the evidence had been
taken one of the lawyers arose and
said: ''Your honor, both sides are
willing to let the case 60 to the jury
without argument and on statement
of the law and the facts by yourself.'
The judge rose slowly and faced the
jury. 'entlemen,' he said, you have
heard the evidence and what these
lawyers have said. If you believe what
the lawyer for the defendant says you
must decide for him. If you believe
what the lawyer for the plaintiff has
said, VOW must decide for him. But if
you are like me and don't believe what
either one of them has said. I am
hanged if l know what you should do

THE SWEETEST MUSIC.

CThe opinion Of Uncle John, riding home
from the opera with his city nephew.]
You may talk about your singing, and I
won't dispute thing,
But o, to hear the music that my mother
used to sing!
The singing that was paid for, she never
even heard, - a.
But her voice rang out as freely as the
singing Of bird. RI
When was tired and sleepy. she'd wash
me, clean and sweet
And hug me tight and wrap my gown
around my little feet
And rock and rock. And with her voice
that old house used to ring
Till sleep, like balm. descended, while I
heard my mother sing.
believe the sweetest music we shall hear
around the throne
VIII Gems from just such humble souls,
haYdworking and unknown.
They could sing hymn in meeting and
sing child to sleep,
And ali the extra music in their hearts
they had to keep.
They sang the songs the old folks loved
- evening shades came down.

and little cord between each two
tubes to keep them we'll apart. This
is for the middle cord or cords. For
those at the ends of the tubes one
knot between each two tubes will
suffice. In the same way fasten' two
wooden rods, which are to serve as
handles, to the longest and shortest
tubes or better tie the rods in at
once when you put the tubes to-
gether. Now your tubophone is COM
plete. For hammer nothing Gamble
better than cork stick on the end
of knitting needle or light rod.
The instrument may be held with one
hand and played with the other, but
it is better to fasten the end rods to
the backs of two chairs so that the
whole apparatus is horizontal and
you can play with both hands if you
please.
The sound made by a paper tube
does not seem very musical, but a
tune played rapidly on number of
tubes has a very good effect. The
eight tube instrument will do for
number OF simple tunes, but you can
increase its range by adding few
tubes at each end. The shortest of
tn eight tubes is half as long as
the longest and gives the octave of
the note of the longest. So the next
noted, the octave of D, requires a
tube eight inches long (half the
length Of the next to the longest).
The next would be SIG, the next
81 and SO on.
To extend the series at the other
end we need tubes of 10, 211s inches
and so on.
Again, a 1874 inch tube inserted
between F and G gives F sharp ard a
.oh inch tube between A and B gives
b fiat. The addition of these will
enable you to play in two more keys

soon but little to show there had been
bee scrimmage.
Next morning Boffin called on
Spanger for his bees.
"How many did you have?'
"About 600,' replied Boffin.
"Pick 'em out" said Spanger.
"Pick the deuce out! How am I
going to tell my bees from yours ?"
Then, Spanger, with smile, said:
"Yours were Italian bees, were
they not?"
eyes; but I can't tell an Italian
bee from any other, unless it stings
harder"
Then Spanger told Boffin to take
600 bees, and pick them out any
where. Boffin remembered his leg,
and refused. In fact, he did not
know how to pick them. Nothing
was said about picking in his collec-
ton of books. So he consulted his
wife, who told him the best way was
to engage a bee-raiser. This was
done, at an expense of ten dollars.
In 20 minutes after his arrival, the
bees were nicely housed in Mr.. Bot
fms orchard.
II would like to know how that
was done," said Mr.. Boffin to the
man, as he gave him the money.
"Oh, easy enough when you know
how" said he pocketing the money
and moving off.
But in a week, those COMPOUNDED
bees were back in Spanger's garden,
making honey by the pound. Mrs.
Spanger tried to compromise the mat
ter by offering to sell Mrs. Boffiu
all the honey she wanted at dis
count. The kind offer was refused
,, and the six empty hives in Boffin's
orchard often bring stinging recol'

to raise bees.

True Story of an Earnest Boy who

A bright, persevering lad on the
search for work is not to be discour-
aged by repeated failures. He will
keep on trying, and will be valuable
in any position in proportion to the
perseverance and ingenuity he has
shown in obtaining it. An illustra-
ton of this appears in the experience
of a boy of IA, who applied unsuc-
cessfully at quite number of places

and catching the eye of the propri-
etor, made bold to accost him as fol-
lows:
do you want a boss, mister?"
"What!" exclaimed the proprietor,
surprised out of his self-control.
"Well, sir, I've been looking for
something to do for three weeks
now, and nobody wants boy, so to-
day I thought I'd\see if somebody
didn't want boss. I'd like to be a
boss"
"Well, well! That's not bad. Are
you willing to work up to the job?
It took me 25 years to get it,

me the chance"
To-day an earnest boy in jumper

Boffin had no idea Of getting up
then, but the piteous expression upon
his face would have excited sympathy
in anyone. Tom was gradually APP
preaching the house, as he thought
there might be a possible chance Of
getting stung. He was soon stopped,
however, by his mother, who called
him back to help his father.
Not liking to show the white feath-
er, he returned. Mrs. B ex-
planned how the cover was to be
Slipped on while Bofin carefully
arose from his sitting position. But,
alas! the human expectati ons! One
solitary bee had crawled up the leg
of Bofin's pants.
He was so positive of this that he
gave yell, turned handspring, and
made for the house, followed by Mrs.
Bofin, Tom, and about 600 bees. In
rushed Boffin and took refuge under
the bed, where Skip was already
busily employed rubbing his nose.
Tom landed in the water-butt outside
Just as one big fellow took him by
the ear. Mrs. Boffin with great pres.
ence of mind, covered her head and
shoulders with her dress, but, as she
could not see, bumped her head
against the door-frame, which nearly
stunned her. But she managed to
stumble in and close the door just as
two of the enemy buzzed in, one taxi
ing Master Billy under the eye and
the other herself on the hand.
The swarm outside lowered around
the door for some time, and then
few over to Spanger's hives, where
they settled down, and at once COM

Spanger. S
Peace being declared in the house
of Boffin, Mr.. B. came out and de-
clared he knew it was wrong to han.

in dripping wet, one ear as big as a
dollar bill, vowing vengeance against
all bees, Italian or any other kind.
Mrs. Boffin brought out liniment, the
wounds were bathed, and, with the
exception of Billy's eye, there was
