Young Editor James W. Maples of
Norwalk came up last Saturday night,
to hunt coons with the young son of
Mr. Charles Ambler. The story runs
that the boys hunted diligently and
laboriously in the dismal woods, all
night but never sighted a single coon,
although coons are said to be super.
abundant hereabouts this season. The
story further goes on to narrate, that
on retracing their weary way back to
the Lewis Raymond homestead, in the
'early dawn of Sunday morning, the
young Nimrods sighted one of our far-
mer’s pet cats, and blazed away at
Thomas, supposing him' to be avori
table coon, and for which feline de-
struction a smart payment in damages
was exacted to save a threatened crimi-
nal prosecution. The young gentlemen
proved their contrition by going to
our Congregat' nal church on Sunday
and doing pe nce in the gallery,
throughout a long service. ‘ ' .

Strength of Repose.
Quietness of spirit implies strength,
not weakness; it suggests fixity of
purpose and continuous energy of
will, not compromise or surrender. It
is consistent with the most thorough
radicalism in dealing with existing
conditions; it eften characterizes the
most aggressive and masterful-spirits.
One who has had unusual opportuni-
ties of knowing, said not long ago, that
the most terrible fighters he had
known among the leaders of armies
in Europe were very quiet men—men
who carried an atmosphere of peace
with them. Noise is so often mista-
ken for the kind of sound which
counts; restlessness is so constantly
confused with energy, and violence of
feeling and exaggeration of speech are
so often identified with vigor and
force, that men are slow to under-
stand tho repose of the great spirits,
just as they are slow to recognize the
greatness of a masterly work of art.
A Kentucky Engrdver.
The wonderful work of Mr. Karl
Von Schueler, the young German en-
graver of Kuttawa, more than equals
what all New England regards as a
marvel. The pride of the Down East-
ore is a cherry stone in the Salem,
Mass, Museum, which contains one
dozen silver spoons. 'The stone itself
is of the ordinary size,but the spoons
are so small that their shape and fin-
ish can only be well distinguished by
the microscope. Mr. .Von Schueler is
now engaged and has been for several
months in transforming a cherry stone
into a. work basket. The stone is 1101-
lowed out, contains a beautifully
carved lid, which opens with a hinge
and closes with a spring clasp and is
lined with satin. When completed it
Will contain 125 instruments of‘ gold,
silver, and steel, including scissors
which will cut, although they can
hardly be distinguished by the naked
eye, and a needle case in which are
twelve needles about the size of a
wasp’s sting, but with gold eyes and
fine points.”
Tom Reed's Argument Against Hanging.
“Did you ever .hear Tom Reed’s ar-
gument against capital punishment?”
asked an attorney. “It was over in
Topsham, during Tom’s undergradu-
ate experience at BoWdoin. A deacon
had argued that ‘Whoso sheddeth
man’s blood, by man shall his blood
be shed.’ The Mosaic law didn’t hit
young Mr. Reed, so he jumped up and
drawled: ‘Supposing, sir, we take the
law which the gentleman has quoted,
and see where the logical deduction
would bring us out. For instance one ‘
man kills another, and another man
jumps in and kills the man who killed
the first, and so on until we come to
the last man on earth? Who is going
to kill him? He can’t commit suicide.
It is contrary to law, for the same law
forbids it. Now, deacon, what’s the
last man going to do? Must he wait
until he is struck by lightning?’
“The logic was unfair, but it won
the debate.”——Livingston Journal.
