While at the club one night he saw
A new silk tile upon the floor,
And winking to the crowd so slick
He gave the hat a gentle hick;
And then another, just to show
That'wit. from empty heads can flow.
All‘caiig’ht the humor of his fun—
To kick the but they vied each one
There ne'er was such a jolly crowd,
And Mr. Brown felt very proud.
But when leave-takings came,broadsmiles

Save Mr.Brown,whose mirth was flown—
The hat, so crushed, was all his own.

NEW TACOMA, WASHINGTON TERRI-
TORY.
As I stood on the dock as she moved to the
wharf, my eyes fell upon a sad sight as I
gazed in mute silence, upon her cargo, of
living freight,'as she brought with her a
crew of sad—looking, down-hearted young
men, with their blankets strapped to their
shoulders, and their clothes seedy and bare
too proud, said many oflthem,to step upon a
soil where the stars and stripes waved.
proudly over a glorious and prosperous Re-
public. They all told the same sad story of
ill treatment, hardship and starvation. They
had been at work on the Canada Pacific R.
R., of which Mr. Onderdonk has the con-
tract, and receives from the Government at
its completion nine millions of dollars for
building 127 miles of the road. It is princi;
pally through the Cascade range and the
most dificult on the whole route. The wri—
ter traveled over a portion of the road and
saw men hanging over steep declivities sus-
pended by ropes, drilling, that an opening
might be made for men to get down
to work. The rock cuts were deep and dan-
gerous to work in and many. of the men
were either killed outright or so injured that
they would not be able to do anything for
months. I'd not wish to barrow one’s feel-
ings with the sickening sights that I saw,and
whcnI listened to the mens and tales’ I knew
that they were too true, as they had been
witnessed by the writer many times. >
'No wonder they were glad to welcome
back their old flag, and to stand upon a free
soil once more. Liberty, that choicest of
boons that man knows not till he isdeprived
of it, may then cxclaim as in the language of
Henry. when he was fired with that patriotic
enthusiasm and his soul burned with” an in—f
ward feeling of love that can only be ex:
pressed when he uttered those ever memora
able words, “Give me liberty or give me
death." These men, perhaps in their hearts,
had that same inward feeling when they
were safe Once more on a free soil. Their
destitution, their haggard expression: spoke
too plainly the amount of hardship and suf-
fering endured, and yet but the other day,
carelessly taking up a San Francisco paper
I saw the following: “That her streets were
cleared of the rough-scufi of the city and
state who had gone to work on the Canada
Pacific Railroad.” Whether so or not, there
were many fine-l ing men, who had seen
better days, and d ing my sojourn in the
provinces asked many why they came here,
and most of them said out of curiosity.
Curiosity has led to many a fatal error that
cannot easin be- repaired. Many a nice home
has been broken up through this great evil—
curiosity to see. ’And every day do I meet
with young men at the hotel,from the States

pect as soon as they get here to mount the
ladder in a moment, but that is only accom-
plished by hard lador and persevering indus-

They could make no worse.
Little does one think of the hardships cn-€
dured in building a road, and seeing on
each side of him huge difficulties to be sur-
mounted, mighty barriers to be oVelcome,
lofty mountains to be tunneled,‘ deep chasms;
to be spanned, until every obstacle'is sur-1

Yet do they adorn the laborer—he that
pushes himself into heart of the dense forest
and with his sinewy arm ‘hews down the
forest and lays the first foundation for the
advancement of civilization. What would
we do without him. Should we depend
upon the banker or merchant? These huge
forests would still wave to the breeze as
when the red man still roamed her then wild
country.
The stalwart arm of the poor man is ex-
tending itseif from shore, sending her plumet
line into the very back boneand- heart of the
continent, where ere long the' steam horse
will take the place of the old coach and the
continent everywhere be connected by: rail.
The forests will give way to fine farms and
beautiful cities will spring forth that has
hitherto been only trod by the red man. His
arm is losing his vital strength. His power
is being taken and ere long he will only be
known to history as the red man who once
roamed over this vast prairie. 3 ' V
Such will be the changes that a few years
more will make; Therefie only those-who
have traveled this western continent who can
form any idea how rapidly it is filling up.

there are from filteen to eighteen hundred;

of them bring enough to buy a comfortable

vile places for the corruption of youth, and

thepopulation in these new cities are what
is called “floating.” They do not stay long
in a place, a few months at the most, then a

“Asleep.”
The touching paragraph with this motto
' in the Gazurm of August 2nd—so like many
others from that felicitous pen moved by a
sympathy with mourners sorrows—must
have been a solace to sorely-wounded souls.
The ssine sympathy in another heart prompts
to the request that the Gamma will copy
the subjoined editorial from the last number
of that excellent Baptist Journal The Ez-
amt'nsr and Chronicle, which is so tender and
true, and so Christian, that it must commend
itself to all—especially to parents whose lit—
tle children have been taken away into the
loving arms. of Jesus. And how many such
there are, and will be! “Asleep in Jesus—
blessed sleep.” ' S. B. S. B.
The Death of Little Children.
When the hand of death is laid upon the
babe that has nestled for but a few brief
months in its mother’s arms, or the bright-
eyed prattler who has made the household
glad with his merriment, the feeling of those
upon whom the blow has fallen must, at
first be one of utter and impenetrable
gloom. The anguish of the mother as she
lays her first-born in the grave, the bitter-
ness of heart with which the father returns
from his enforced toil to the home which
death has made desolate—there are feelings
which, in the first burst of sorrow, no. words
of consolation may mitigate or assuage.
And yet there are, in the death of little
children,imotives of consolation open to us
from which we are sometimes estoppedin
the death of those of riper years—motives
which, as the Weeks pass on, may appeal
soothingly to these who have laid their dear
oncin :the grave, and help God’s christening
to “yield the pcaceable fruits of righteous-
ness to them t re exercised thereby.”
We cannot reasonably doubt that these
little ones, take ' from earth before they
have attained to years of conscious responsi-
bility, are, through the general efficacy of
Christ’s saving blood, placed beyond the
peradventure of eternal woe. Innocent and
pure as they seem to us to be, they need a
Saviour. The mere fact of their death dc-
monstrates that, for death is “the wages of
sin.” But of personal transgression they
know nothing; of personal faith, they are,
of course, incapable. Hence the church has
throughout the Christian centuries,grsvitated
towards the idea that the atoning blood of
Christ is applied, without the personal ac-
ceptance of ,Christ, to the souls of those
who die-before they reach the years of
moral responsibility. “As in Adam all die.
even so in Christ shall all be made alive”
is an utterance to which, so far at least as
unconspious infants are concerned, we have
agreed to give it amplest and most obvious
interpretation. Not to do so would, we are
:sure, be’ doing equal violence to the justice
:and the love of our Heavenly Father, who
exacts of none of his creatures more than
they are able to perform.
This being so, is there not comfort in the
thought, “My little one, had he been spared,
might have rejected Christ; but now he is
safe; now I may be sure, if Christ is my
own life and hope of meeting him again
hereafter ; now Imay hope (for the Scrip-
tures do warrant us in hoping) that I may
know him—as not lost, but saved—in that
eternal home which Jesus has prepared for
the reunited households of earth 1”
Saved from personal sin 1 Saved from
the second death! Surely, there are mo~
tives of conclusion here. But saved, none
the less, from the care and worry and toil
of this earthly pilgrimage. Assured of a
tenderer and more efficient .care than that of
any earthly parent, through the love of Him
who “gathers the. lambs in his arms, and
carries them in his bosom.” Living Sorrows
we have heard many'a parent say, are worse
than dead ones. The child that makes
shipwreck of his life, and brings his moth-
er's gray hairs in sorrow to the grave (and
such calamity is possible for every child who
lives to years of maturity), is the burden
and the grief in many a household; while
the little ones whom God early took to him-
self are, as the years roll on, a Comfort and
a joy.
And are we not warranted in affirming
that God’s sympathy and help, which are
freely promised to every afflicted one, are
peculiarly tender and peculiarly strong in
the case of such afiiiction as we have in
mind just now.‘ “Sir," said a ‘stricken
father to his pastor, who was endeavoring to
console him for the death of a child, “You
know nothing about it; you have never lost
a child." The answer of the childless pas-
tor opeueda vista into the tenderness and
sympathy of God so profound that it seemed
almost a profanalion: “God knows all about
it. God so loved the world that he gave his
only Son to death for our salvation.” Is it
not a peculiar comfort, in the death of a lit-
tle child—the first-born, it may be—thc only
one—that God knows all about it.
'What Europe (Woes America.
The London Economist of this week says:
“The unliquidate‘d trade balance due the
United States is nearly $516,500,000 [$80.-
190,000] greater than a year ago, or rather
an apparent balance, as there is no means of
knowrug to_what extent payment may have
been made in securities. To all appearance,
however, the power of the United States to
take gold from Europe is much greater than
it was a year ago. The need for gold,
however, now that currency is firmly es-
tablished on a‘gold basis, is less, and it ap-
pears probable that payment for a large
portion of her trqde must be taken in goods.

This vast sum has gone into railroads to a

TEMPERAN CE. '
Crosby Tablenux.
EMMA momma,
The whole country was astounded when
Dr. Crosby pre-cmpted Joseph Cook’s pul-
pit in the city of Boston to advocate his
moderation theories, under the title of
“Temperate temperance.” For ,wceks past
we have been unable to think of Dr. Crosby
without some one of the tableaux which we
shall here present our readers rising before
us. So comforting were Dr. Crosby's words
to the great Brewer's Association that they
ordered a million copies to be printed for
gratuitous circulation with the following
startling headings.
PROHIBITION a FARCE.
No Goon CHRISTIAN can BE r'rs Anvoca'rn
SWEEPING DENUNCIATION on TnnrnmNcn
Accra-Ions.
Tnnrn PET Honnv Puournr'rmNg
The first scene was sickening enough; a
professed Christian teacher defending the
indulgence in drink before one of the most
intelligent audiences in the nation, and send.
ing his pernicious doctrines out to strengthen
the trembling foundations of every brewery
and distillery in the land, but thesecond pic-
ture was not less so.
When the Kansas legislature was gallant—
ly fighting the battle for Prohibition, tho
whisky ring had employed the most un-
scrupulous men to perform their work for
them. Among them was a lawyer from the
county of Dinn, who figures in the military
annals of the last war in no very enviable
light, having been not only dismissed dis-
honorably from the service, but again enlist-
ing, was afterwards sentenced to be shot for
cowardice, and only escaped by taking “leg
bail.” This man was esteemed a most fit-
ting tool to do the dirty work of the Whisky
Ring. How much Mr. Snoddy cost , the
Brewers and Distillers, to plead their case,
doth pot yet appear, but as a defamer of the
‘ women who were pleading for Home Pro-
tection, and for low obscenity which would
have disgraced the vilcst bar-room he cer-
tainly has no equal in the United States.
Gov. St. J ohn was his especial aversion.
When he had exhausted his expletives,which
occupied about two hours and three-quarters
he sent Dr. Crosby’s lecture to the Clerk to be
read, to give additional weight to his argu-
ments. When one of the members objected
to the Doctor’s proposition that “J ssns
CHRIST was a driinkard, in the acceptation
of the term by these total abstinence fanat-
ics‘,,’ as blasphemy,” the objecting member
was informed that he probably did not know
who Doctor Crosby was? He was (1. Ghana-
elor, one of the most eminent divincs in this
nation. He was,” said Mr. Snoddy, “surely
better authority than the hysterical woman,
who because some member of her family had
died of drink, thought that Kansas ought to
prohibit her people from drinking.
This leads us to reproduce another tab-
leaux, which will perhaps still more excite
we admiration of the whisky—ring who seem
to have a thorough contempt for the weak-
ness that demurs at making our friends and
relatives a sacrifice to this powerful brewing
interest, since it may furnish new and start-
ling headings for another document which
which may be of service to the Moloch
which builds its altars upén human sacrifices.
Rev. Felix Johnson, of Paris, Texas, writes
an article to the Cumberland Presbyterian,
in which he tells the world. a little family
history which we are astonished should have
so little effect upon the Great Chancellor.
He says “while carrying on a machine shop
and foundry in Lauderdaie, Ala., in the
spring of 1849, a poor, wretched specimen of
humanity,” (one of the kind that Dr. Crosby
thinks ought to be locked up in the jail or
penitentiary,”) presented himself in my sleep
begging an asylum with us for a time. He
was greatly reduced in strength, trembling
in every nerve, and in a unsightly condition
both in dress and general appearance, He
that the reason he came to me was that he
learned that it was strictly a total abstin-
kind of place in which he could ever hope
to become sober.” Mr. Johnson soon (lis-
covered that the man possessed a gigantic
intellect which was in ruins. According to
his own statement he had been engaged in
the city of Rochester, New York, in the cot-
ton manufacturing business. . At one time
he was half owner of the establishment but
in one of his drunken sprees, his shrewd
partner embezzled the funds, fled to a distant
country, whither the unfortunate man fol—
lowed hoping to regain some portion of his
property, but finally returned to his native
land bankrupt. Financially ruined he plung-
ed still deeper into dissipation, striving to
drown the memory of the past in the intoxi-
cating bowl. Once, in South Tennessee, he
made ad chort to regain his means and
strength, but it was but a fitful effort, and
now a common tramp, he presented himself
to this “fanatical temperance man," as Dr.
Crosby would call him, for protectioa. For
three months, while he continued with Mr.
Johnson, he became sober and mentally him-
self again. He again declared his resolution
to remain sober the rest of his life, and so
skilled was he as a civil engineer, so brilliant
in business, a situation was readily obtained
as Superintendent of a manufacturing estab-
lishment distant about ten miles from Flor-
ence. He gave satisfaction to his employers,
Wilson and Keys, as long as he remained
sober. But alas! once more the tempter
conquered, and in a fit of delirium tremeus
he lockedhimself in his room, stripped him-
self to a nudity and laid down upon the floor
and diode. most agonizing death.
. 'rns MAN was raaao NEWTON 0120qu.
-who claimed Chancelor Howard Crosby a
an own brother. .
One would naturally suppose having made
such a sacrifice as this upon the blood-stained
altar of drink, that Dr. Crosby. would be the
last man to load to the muzzle the guns of
this enemy of humanity, and lead the charge
against the pleading mothers of this nation
who protest against the sacrifice 05 their
sons to satisfy the lust for appetite and gain.
But we find in a flaming advertisement in
The Western Brewer, the organ of the beer
trade, urging brewers to buy and circulate
Dr. Crosby's sermon, this extraordinary sen-
tedce: “Its circulation is worth. 2 to you
than money in Gooernmont bonds, and tail
bear‘ better interest.’
We take courage though in this great bat-
tle when we remember the Savronn’s words,
"Every plant which my Heavenly Farrier;
hath not planted shall be rooted up. Let
them alone, they be blind leaders of the
blind,aud if the blind leadthe blind both shall
fall into the ditch I” Dr. Crosby is like Eph-
raim‘ “joined to his idol, let him alone.”
For right is right since GOD is G01)
And right the day must win ;
To doubt would be disloyalty
To falter would be sin.

BENNINGTON, Vti, July 10.--William O’
Brien, of Searsburgh, Vt., died this morning
from the effects of injuries received in a
drunken altercation last evening near a
saloon in Hoosic, New York, which resulted
in O‘Brien’s having two ribs broken and re-
ceiving injuries about the head which result-
ed fatally. O'Brien was a prominent man in
Scarsburgh, and had represented that town
in the Vermont Legislature. Recently he
became addicted to drink. So far as is known
all the parties to the crime were drunk. No
“arrests have been made. '

cubic centimeters; the smallest, belonging
to an individual of the nearly extinct people

An official publication of the German post
office contains a report on the disturbances
in telegraphic' communication caused last
August by the display of the aurora borealis.
It is well known that both storms and the
aurora borealis disturb the electric currents
passing over telegraph cables, but recent ex-
perience seems to prove that the disturbing
influence of storms chieflyjefiects short lines,
while the longer lines are more apt to be af—
fected by the northern lights. :There
was a strong disturbance of the latter kind
from the 11th to the 14th of August, 1880.
It seems to have manifested itself through-
out the greater portion of the northern sec-
tion of the eastern hemisphere, sending off,
however, a southernly stream in the direc-
tion of Mozambiquc,which reached to Natal.
It does not appear that the Western Conti-
nent was affected. The general features of
the disturbance consisted in manifestations
of the presence of strange currents (“earth
currents," as they are called) of fluctuating
intensity, the durations and fluctuations va-
rying in different localities, and the direction
of the currents changing frequently.
Concerning the growrh of a third set of
teeth, Prof. Owen says : “Teeth are organs
that, as a rule, have a term of existence more
limited than that of the organism of which
they form a part. In many of the lower
vertebrates they are shed very soon after
they are completed and in use, and are as
quickly replaced by others. In the mamma-
lia, however, there‘is but one succession of
teeth naturally shed, but though the suc-
cessors of the so-called ‘milk-tecth’ last long
enough to acquire the title ‘permanent,’ they
are rarely retained to a very advanced age.
There is, however. a belief entertained by
many, of the occasional acquisition of a third
set in human ccntenarians. Thus it is re-
corded of the Countess of Desmond, in
‘Fynes Morison’s Itinerary’ (1617.), that, not
many years before her death, which is said
to have occurred at the age of 140 years,
‘she had all her teeth renewed.’ I was led
to a discussion on this point by a worthy
clergyman at the house of a friend whom I
was visiting, and my skepticism as to the
alleged age and third set of teeth of the old
Countess, he replied that there then lived in
his parish an old woman alleged to .have
passed her hundredth year, who was actually
then cutting her third set of teeth. I rejoic-
ed at this instance. I had long been con—
vinced that actual phenomenahad suggested
the statement, but that the nature of these
had been misinterpreted, and I deemed my-
self most fortunate in having an opportunity
of testing the matter. The following morn-
ing I was driven to the old woman’s cabin.
It was in the north of Ireland, and she was
sitting crouching over 'her peat fire, a typical
example of liumari decay. To the shouts of
her pastor the deaf old cronc replied by pull-
ing down her skinny lips and exposing the
side of her lower jaw, from which there pro-
jected . through the gum the blackened
stump of a tooth. the crown of which had
gone many years before. The absorption of
the gums consequent on the edeutulous state
of the jaw in senility, had brought to light
this remnant of a long-lost tooth. Other
stumps of teeth, of- which the loss of the
decayed crown had been forgotten, might, in
like manner, appeal-through the shrinkage
and absorption of the senile jaw. And this
I take to be the true ground of the allegations
as to the acquisition in extreme old age of a
third set of veritable teeth.’
A Steam Passenger Catamaran.
The new steam catamaran which John
Evertscn, of Troy, N. Y., is intending to put
on the tonic between Westerly and Watch
Hill as a passenger boat, lately arrived at
Providence, so says The Journal of that city.
She is of very light draught, of only forty-
five tons burden, with hull sixty feet long
and beam six feet, and a carrying capacity
of over 400 persons. The following are some
of the novelties of ‘ her construction : First,
the' propeller, which is hung amidships and
between the bulls of the vessel, the power
being applied by a double engine; second,
the manner of working the engine, which
the pilot does from thepilot house, where the
starting lever and reversing lever are locat-
ed, dispensing with customary signals by
bells, though the services of an engineer are
required for all other purposes. On the
former, which is elliptical in form, are the
cabin, engine and boiler-room, and the
steward’s pantry,with a broad path all around
and rail ofusual height. A companionway
leads to the upper deck, which is broad and
open, with only the pilot-house and the cap-
tain‘s room to break the space. How fast the
boast is, is yet to be shown. The owners claim
that this is the first boat of its class to which
steam has been successfuly applied,four hav-
ing been previously built, none of which op-
erated satisfactorily. I
The celestial event of this week is the
annual visit of the August meteors. They
should be looked for on Tuesday, Wednesday
radiant point being in the brilliant constella-
tionof Perseus. .These meters are remarka-
ble for leaving trails of light behind them.
Astronomers count upou seeing more than a
hundred in a night at the time oftheir annual
visit. The casual star gazer is likely to see
several in half an hour’s observation,and som
of the larger ones are well worth watching
path ofthe consist of 1862.
The new comet is not yet visible except
with telescopes in the smoky air of the city,
but it is said that sharp eyes have detected it
without optical aid in the country.

. Potter’s American MonthIY.
"Do you know ‘Bob’ Collycr, sir I” famil-
iarly inquired one Sunday evening passenger
of another in a North Side Chicago streetcar
a few years since.
The queriest was an animated countryman
spending the Sabbath in the city; and, reck~
less how the rest of the dayspun through
his fingers, at the hour of worship he was on
the zealous hunt for religious curiosities.
He recognized the garb and air of the city ,
about his fellow passenger, and inferred that
he of course, would know something of Mr.
Collyer. .
“F. P." turned his head and eyed the
stranger with a grain of astonishment; for
Western absence of formality does not extend
to familiarity between strangers in Chicago-
strcet cars—not as a common luxury, at least.
Still he slowly replied, “01., yes . I know
‘Bob’ p-r-e-t-t-y well.” ’
“Heard him preach, I s’pose '1’"
“Y-e-s, quite a number of times. My fam-
ily have a pew in his church."
“W-c-ll, Mister, please, what do you think
of him?" pursued the pump-handle.
“Think of him!‘ Hump! Not so much
as some folks profess to. Still, I don’t wish
to sw anything against him. He’s always
been kind to my wife and children. He’s a
pretty fair sort of preacher, too, after all a
and he behaves himself through the week like
tjl glentlcman—never getting drunk nor into
at . .’
“Anyhow,” concluded the stranger, “I’m
going to hear him tc-night. I’ve been told
such great things of him, as the chap who
quit shoeing horses to go to a-preaching,
that, seeing I’m in town over Sunday, I'll
try him on.” '
“Very good, air, I hope you may like him ;
he doesn’t always please me, though.”
~ Town and Country stepped from the Clark
street car together, crossed the little opcn
park at the east, and entered Unity church.
The one was seated by the usher. The other
now becoming broad with ill-concealed mer-
riment, took his rolling gait to the end of the
aisle, and helped himself to the wide-armed,
high-backed pulpit chair.
The countryman heard “Bob” Collyer,
and stopped at the close to say he liked him ;
and the jovial Robert will tell you the story
with a relish for two.
Not long before he left Chicago, I asked
him why his name had no “handle.” He
replied that no school had ever been rash
enough to “handle” him, and he didn’t know
as he should submit to the weld, if one made
him a tender of the theological trinket. lie
is no “doctor ;” but he is “Robert Collyer,”
the manner in which he is commonly spoken
of, and is popularly addressed is “Mr. Coll-
yer." He cares not to run away from the
phase of plain people. He is not displeased
to know even that the unrevential often refer
to him as “Bob.’ .
Mr. Collyer reads much; and much of his
reading is fiction. Among the philosophers,
he cultivates a few pets, especially - Mr.
Emerson. On nationality of authors. he
prefers American. He says they are bolder,
challenge you to dare to think for yourself;
their spirit is more prophetic, sculpturing
the future into form, not forever whitewash-
ing the tombstone of the past; not so tied
to old institutions as are the Germans; not
so careful as the English of what the reviews
may say. He has himself planted several
modest slips of authorship; but they give no
sign of coming great cedars. Rather are they
little evergreens beside life’s everyday garden
walk.
“Mr. Collyer, will you tell me why you
dropped Wesley’s hand to take Channiug’s ?"
“Well,” says he, “a little, great woman,
and the African, had much to do with my
swapping work-shops; that is, Lucretia Mott
and the slave. Two years in England I had
been a Methodist local preacher, and the
same eight or nine years in 'this country,
worning in the hammer factory near Phila-
delphia through the week, and speaking re-
ligiously to the people on Sunday. . I
preached because I loved the cause, not for
money. I think all I eve-r received as a
Methodist preacher aggregated $7.50. Mrs.
Mott lived near by. She came to hear me
preach; she came into our little lyceum and
spoke for emancipation. I thought her
grand, and I grew in favor with her. I was
made the welcome guest of herself and bus-
band. Wc talked much on the nature of the

atonement and future punishment. Icame
into the views of these grett issues. But as
I became also a convert to immediate eman-
cipation, perhaps half the motive to change
was that I was ashamed and confounded, in
those years just before the war, that my
Methodist desk was not high enough for
sermons against slavery and liberty, but that
the Unitarianwas. Ithought Christ stood
beside the slave, and I turned toward that
light.”
“But ydu do not cherish cruel thoughts
toward your early pulpit home ?”
His response, done in his mellow York-
shire, falls on my car as quaint and very
beautiful: “If I were not married to my
wife I would go back and live with my
mother.". .
The Blamed Fools.
When Davy Crockett was a member of
Congress he was sitting one day in a hotel
toasting his shins, when a Senator from Mar-
sachusettsentered. .
Approaching the old frontiersmau the lat-
ter said :
“Crockett, a large procession of your con~
stituents are marching up the street. You

passing by caught his eye. He quietly
watched them until the last one had passed
and then returned to his seat by the stove.
The Massachusetts Senator was still there,
and as the redoubtable Davy dropped into
his chair, asked:
"Well, did you see your friends 1’"
“Oh, yes,” was the response. “They look
remarkably well, too.”
“ Did you ascertain their destination ?”
“Certainly, sir.”
“And where were they going in such a
solid body a" '
Crockett turned to the Senator‘ with a quiet
calm expression, and replied:
“The blamed fools were all going dorm to
Massachusettsfto teach school I”
And they gazed a moment into each others
faces and sadly walked up to exercise the
bar—keeper a while.

A Tea Party Sensation.

It was Sunday evening; Angelica had
invited her “best young man” to the even~

the drill, he looked so nice sitting ’long side
of her with his arm—”
“Fred 1" screamed the maiden, whose face
began to assume the color ‘of a well done
crab—quickly placing her hand over the
boy's mouth.
“Yer oughter seen him," continued the
persistent informant,aftcr gaining his breath,
and the embarruSSed girl’s hand was removed.
“he had his arm-s"
“Freddie l” shouted the mother, as in her
frantic attempts to reach the boy’s auricular
appendage she upset the contents of the tea
pot in Mr. Lighted’s lap, making numerous
Russian war maps over his new lavender
pantalooas- '
“I was just goin‘ to say,” the half fright-
ened boy pleaded, between a cry and an in-
jured whine, “he had his arm—”
“You boy!” thundered the father, 9away
to the wood shed.”
And the boy made for the nearest exit, ex-
claiming as he waltzed, “I was goin’ to say
Mr. Lighted had his army clothes on, and I’ll
leave it to him if he didn’t!”
And the boy was permitted to return, and
the remainder of the meal was spent in ex-
planations from the family in regard to the
number. of times Freddie had to be “talked
