He Called Her.

A charming young lady who glories
in the possession of a wealth Of bright
auburn colored hair is the teacher of
a Sunday school class. On a recent
Sabbath the rector made the announce
ment OF a hymn to be sung and, ris-
ing. waved his hands. and the organ
pealed forth.
"Now," said he. 'ready-sing!'
A small and precocious youth in the
young woman's class said:
"Why don't you sing. Miss Frisbee"
"Me? Oh. never sing" replied the
teacher. smiling her prettiest.
But" exclaimed the boy. 1.-The min
lister says you must. Didn't he just
say Now. Reddy, sing?"
Smelling salts and numerous other
restoratives had to be used to bring
the teacher out of her faint.

Nature.

AS a fond mother when the day is Ger
Leads by the hand her little child to
bed.
Half willing. half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthngs on the
floor,
Still gazing at them through the open
door,
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
BY promises of others in their stead.
Which, though more splendid, may not
please him more.
So nature deals with us and takes away
Our playthings one by one and by the
hand
Leads us TO rest so gently that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to so or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the
what we know.

MANY HORSES DIE
DURING EACH YEAR

Washington, April 15.-The gen

cattle from disease 81 per 1000;
from exposure, II per 1000; of sheep

% per 1000; from exposure the
losses were heavier than usual, being
46 per 1000. The losses of hogs
from disease were lighter than usual,
