The Boy Who Kissed his
Mother.
He Went up the pathway singing;
I saw the woman’s eyes
Grow bright with a wordless welcome,
As sunshine warms the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother,
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was lifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on-
I hold that this is true—
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth’s grandest hearts have been loving
hearts
Since time and earth began!
And the boy who kissed his mother
Is every inch :1. man 1

“ Only a Little Snow
. Storm.”
BY J. KATE LUDLUM.
Two girls stood in the open doorway of
the pretty little cottage owned by dear
old Mrs. Chester and her son Lawrence.
Outside, the air was full of the “wild
white bees of winter," and the sky was a
monotonous gray—not a cloud-drift any-
where. The fierce winter wind swept up
the mountain, and whirled around the
tiny cottage nestling under a huge moun-
tain-ash whose bare branches cracked and
groaucd dismally.
“Foerlty’s sake, JO Sinclair, ,‘don’t
- think of [going home in such a storm as
we are going tohovel You can stay here
as well as not,—you know Aunt. Hattie
will let you. But for sweet pity’s sake,
don't try to reach your home in the
valley? You’ll either lose your way or
be frozen to‘deatb, if you do 1" And the
speaker, a pretty young girl of seventeen,
drew her pink_scarf close over her head
and around her throat, as a gust of wind
threw a cutting shower of snow flakes
into the open doorway.
Her companion laughed.
“Nonsense, Pussic Grey 1" she said. as
she stepped from the doorway and shook
back her heavy dark hair merrily. “You
don't usually 1ch on the mountains in
winter, so know next to nothing about
it! This is only a little snow-storm.
Wait till spring—then you’ll have learned
What a good, hard storm is! For my
part, I love cold weather and snow, and
the rough Ewinds,—lhey .jusl. suit my
disposition,.I suppose. Now if you were
to venture out, the wind would lift your
little self right off your dainty feet, and
carry you no one knows where, unless to
the north where the Storm King lives.
I'm stronger than you are. Good bye,
Puss !”
“Jo, dear," said Mrs. Chester, coming
out just then ; “don’t think of leaving to-
night. I’m afraid we will have rough
weather before morning. It. is such a long
ways down to your home, I am sure your
parents would rather you staid with us,
than venture out. in such a storm !"
”ch. do,Jo !” coaxed Pussie. ,“Laurie
will be home in a little while, and then we
can have lots ofifun !” ' '
“Couldn’t possibly, Puss !" and .Jo
shook her beautiful head, laughing. “NO,
not even after your holding forth the great
inducement-,of your cousin Lawrence’s
presence to illumine the gloom! Good
bye!” and she started down the path
nnhceding Pussic’s cry of “I wish you
would stay, Jo f”
It was bitterly cold, even Jo acknowl-
edged, as she struggled through the blind-
ing snow and gathering gloom.
“But I don’t care, I wouldn’t have
staid for anything after I’ussic said he
would be there, tho‘ I was on the point
of doing so when I thought he was ten
miles away at Allton. I'm not going to
give him a chance to ask him to be his
wife, as I know he would do. When I
marry at all it will be to some one who
has plenty of money to keep us all from
the want we have endured since papa died.
Money is far stronger than
“The pchrs above,
And little Cupid.”
all put together! How dark it grows!
Wish I had brpughtDash ?”
J 0 did love Lawrence Chester, certain-
ly. He had been her lover as boy and
man, and she knew she was rich in char-
acter if not in this world’s wealth. But
it was such hard work to teach school,
and she hated it. , ,
Jo never cared for many friends; but.
merry Pussie Grey he almost worshiped.
Pussie had gone to live with her aunt,
Mrs. Chester, because her health was not
good, and mountain air was what she
needed, the doctors said. So she had
staid on and on till winter had come and
she did so want to see the grand old
mountains covered with snow, that her
parents agreed to let her remain.
Jo and Pussie were together whenever
it was possible for them to be; and Jo
pelted and‘ scolded, laughed and teased
her little friend continually, but loved her
strongly, passionately as it was her nature
to love.
In the meantime she struggled on, the
cold snow piling itself in great white
drifts against the banks which only a
short half year ago had been covered with
lovely flowers and nodding ferns that she
and Pussic had gathered so gaily.
"I do wonder where I am getting to ?"
she said, at lost. “It seems as though I
ought to have reached the valley by this
time; but the snow comes down in such
blinding gusts that I cannot see two feet
ahead of me! But. pshaw!” she added,
with a nervous laugh, “I think I ought to
know these mountains well enough not to
lose myself in only a little snow-storm
like this.” .
While J o struggled on through the snow
in the darkness, Pussic Grey stood in the
window, looking absently down the
shadowy path where her friend had dis-
appeared—swallowed up, it seemed, by
the ghostly snow. '
The red glare of the crackling firo lit
up her golden-brown hair, and made fun-
tastic figures alongthc carpet, up the wall,
over the pictures and appeared to vanish
through the window among the snow-
fairies without.
“I do wish Jo had staid!" she said to
herself, as she watched the ;soft, cruel
flakes floating and dancing down.
Presently she heard her cousin’s well.
known step on the door stone without;
the handle was turned, a clear, musical
whistle sounded in the cold hall, and the
door opened to admit a tall, broad shoul-
dcred, noble looking young fellow of per-
haps twenty-three. o
“Dreaming, Puss l" he asked laugh-
ingly, as he laid his hands on her shoulders
and turned her towards the firelight.
“Oh, no Laurie!” she answered, earn-
estly. “But Jo was here this afternoon,
and insist ed on going home. for she said
it was only a little snow-storm. It. isn’t,
is it, Laurie, and—what shall we do ?" as
she caught the horrified look on his face.
“Jo gone home in this storm? Good
heavens, child ! she will be lost I"
It. was not many minutes afterwards
that he started out in the blinding storm
to find his little friend. ’
“God guide you, Laurie!” his mother
had said, shivering as she watched him
disappear, also, in the snow. and the
night. -
Fiercely the blast shrickcd dowu the
mountains, and 'thc sturdy pines swayed
dismally.
Suddenly a dark object. leaped through
the ghostly gloom, and a joyful bark
echoed through the storm.
“Is that. you, Dash, old dog ?" cried
Laurie, a faint hopc'rising within'bim, at
sight of his brave friend.
The dog answered with a short bark;
then disappeared in the snow. But soon
after, he came back, whining pitifully.
“My God! what. have you found?" and
Laurie’s face was white with a great fear-
“Go cn—I’ll follow l”
' And the dog, with a glad bark, sprang
off; never pausing till he reached a great
drift beneath an oak whose branches
groancd and cracked and writhed drearily
Then Dash burrowed in the snow, raised
his head and uttered a low howl.
“What is it. 1’" Laurie asked, impatient.
ly. ‘
By way of answer the great, shaggy
fellow poked his nose in the drift again,
and began digging with all his might.
"Laurie shuddered.
“Can it be possible she is under there ‘8"
he muttered, aiding the dog with his
hands. ' '
He was not left long in doubt, for soon
J o Sinclair lay in his arms, while and
still. Wrapping her in the great shawl
his thoughtful mother had given him, he
rose and staggered towards home, followed
closely by faithful old Dash.
The cold winds whistled down the
mountains, shrieking and laughing like
a thousand demons; the snow whirled
around and up into the white, despairing
face; the drifts grew deeper and deeper.
In the cottage Mrs. Chester and Pussie
sat beside the roaring wood fire on the
hearth. .
“I do wonder if Jo was home all right,
Auntie ?" Pussie said.
“I don’t know, dear; but we will hope
so,” Mrs. Chester answered.
A loud, 'cager barking is heard out.-
side above the storm. I’ussie sprang to
to her feet.
“That is Dasb’s call for help 1’? she
cried; and rushed from the room, follow-
ed more slowly by her aunt.
'Into the hall stumbled Laurie, his face
white as_the one on his breast.
“Oh Laurie! is she dead ?" gasped Pusi
are.
“Is she dead, mother?" he greased,
laying her on the lounge in the cheery
sitting-room. '
“God willing—no !” she answered gent.
ly.
The next morning Laurie drove her
home in his sleigh; but before they
reached her home he asked the fatal ques-
tion.
“I’m so sorry, so awfully sorry,
Laurie l” she said; "but I cannot be' your‘
wife. I can never thank you enough for
saving my life—-”
“Hush !” be interrupted, fiercely. “I
want. no such thanks! If you cannot be
my wife, I want nothing. But. why is
it?" he added. “Have you not allowed
me to think‘that at some future time you
would be mine ? I have loved you ever
since we were children together, .10 Sin -
clair, and you know il. l”
“I am sorry, Laurie!" she answered,
,‘but I can’t be a poor man’s wife! I
love you—yes; but that makes no differ-
ence. Good bye, and—forget me!”
Poor Laurie! The excitement of the
night. before together, with his disappoint-
ment, brought on brain fever; and it was
a long time before he came out of his de-
lirium.
One day in early spring Pussie Grey
went down to her friend'shome.
“Oh, Jol” she cried; “will he never,
never get. well? ' He has been calling so
for you, that I could not stay away.
How can you be so cruel! And you love
him—I know you do i” as Jo burst into
tears.
Pussie put her arms around her friend’s
neck.
“Won’t you go up and see him, Jo ?"
she whispered. “And, if you do, please
be;kiud to him !"
And Jo went.
"Are you sorry for the absence of riches,
Jo ?” whispered Laurie, teasingly.
‘~Please, Laaurie 1” she said, softly, “I
was foolish to weigh wealth against love.
anyway. But I’ll never do it again, Lau-
rie; though there's no telling what might
have happened but for that little snow-
storm 1"
A Salt Lake BOy’s Family,

A short time ago, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, a bright looking Danish boy
stepped into a. lawyers ofiice and said :
“I want you to tell me who Iam,”
laying a $5 bill on the desk at the some.
time.
The lawyer peeping alternately at the
boy and at the $5 bill on the desk, and
shaking his head replied:
“It seems you are a funny boy !"
“Not funny at all. You will find it a
very serious matter.”
“Well go ahead and explain it."
“About twenty years ago a wealthy
Danish lady, beinga widow, came over
to this country with her two daughters.
There was 'a Norwegian and his boy.
The father married both the widow’s
daughters. One yebr after the Norwe-
gian's boy married the Wealthy widow.
The result of that marriage was another
boy, and if I am sure, I am that boy.
The Norweigian’s boy died. The Danish
widow was a widow again, but the old
Norwegian married her too. After that
the old lady died, and one year ago the
old gentleman, too, after he had made
himself the owner of his third wife’s
property. Now when I claimed that
property my sister :said: ‘Stop you
can’t be the heir at all ?’ You are
our late husband’s gradchild. By her
marriage with him you became your
mother's grandchild, too, and after she
died we became your mothers, and you
never can inherit the property till we are
dear. That’s what my sister mothers say,
but I think that can’t b5 right, and there
must be some mistake in polygamy. Now
sir, please tell me what I am—who I am.”
The lawyer thrusting his chin into his
neck answered pathetically: “You are a

The Dynamite Policy.
It is a reason for congratulation that the
recent Irish National Convention at Phil-
adelphia committed itself openly and
emphatically against the so-called dyna-
mite policy, and did not allow the New
York confidence men, who make a living
out Of the dynamite policy, any show
in its management or deliberations. Like
all New England manufacturing towns,
Norwalk has within its limits it great
number of Irishmeu by birth and blood,
and we are certain that they share the
feeling of their fellow citizens of all na-
tionalities,~ that this dynamite policy is
not so much a stupid mistake as a wicked
betrayal of the cause which it professes
to assist. The Irishman or Irishman who ’
send O'Donovan Roses and. his gang
a dollar has but one thing‘further to do—
tO stand on some street corner and throw
mud at the green flag on the occasion of
the next procession in which it appears.
Very few Americans who think much
about the matter doubt that Ireland will
be openly or practically aIfrec country
before very long. We are too much in
the habit of thinking that government
rests on the consent of the governed to
doubt that a country which absolutely
detesls British rule will very long be ruled
by Great Britain. And it cannot be
doubted that freedom from British rule
would be an excellent thing for Ireland.
The British never did know how to
govern another country; their attempts
to govern their colonies in America and
elsewhere have usually resulted in the
most absurd blunders ; but their attempts
to govern Ireland have made up about the
most absurd series of wicked blunders in
human history. If Congress should un-
dertake to govern Utah on the models of
British government of Ireland, there
would be a universal cry of disgust. And
it is the bitterest of all comficniarics on
British rule that the only way by which
Ireland has ever obtained any attention
to her complaints has been ,by shooting
landlords, and that. has obtained but poor
attention. While Ireland has kept quiet,
England has been very fretful of her well
founded complaints; when Ireland rc-
sorts to outrages, England has no time
for any thing except promises, to be for-
gotten as soon as the agitation is over.
England cannot fix her roof during the
storm, because of the rain; and in fine
weather there is no need to fix it. As a
result, Ireland has now far' less self gov-
ernment than Utah. There is no man in
Ireland, under present laws, who may
not be arrested without a warrant, tried
without a jury, and hung without a
chance for appeal. If he is granted any
Of these rights,“ we regard tbcm,it is
not of right, but of the paternal kindness
of the government.
Under such circumstances, and with
the history of the past to show us that
there is little probability of improvement
for the future, Americans can only feel
that the wisest thing for Great Britain
would be to take the lid oil.” and let out
the steam. This country governed the
South Ireland fashion just long enough to
safety, and then wisely left the South to
work out its own solution, though we
had no Irish Sea between us and the
South. Great Britain must in the end do
the same with Ireland. If she does not
make Ireland an altogether independent
nation, she must give Ireland some such
Legislature as was given the . Southern
States, and guarantee similar powers to
it. Unless the whole population of Ire-
land is to be sent across the Atlantic,
some such course must be followed as the
United'Statcs followed with the South af-
ter the Rebellion. Otherwise, as ia‘still
more probable,_thc whole difiiculty will
end in Ireland’s absolute independence.
get the guarantees necessary for futurc‘
Supposing the latter event to take place,
how would Ireland take her place in the
family of nations if her escutcheon is to
be smeared and daubcd all over with 0’-
Dyuamiic Rossa’s wicked “policy?" How
are other nations to regard a sister nation
whose independence has been won, not. by
fair, open, manly chingtons and York-
town, but by dynamite explosions. The
harp on the Irish flag would be replaced,
in the estimation of other nations, by the
dynamite torpedo; the fruit of centuries
of struggle would be lost; and Ireland,
when it embraced the family of nations,
would become disgraced, degraded, sus-
pected, and a very proper object of sus-
picion to every civilized nation.
It is for such reasons as these that
Americans have a right to warn the few
unthinking Irishmen and Irisbwomen
who contribute money to support Rossa
and his lazy_ crew at. New York hotels,
that they are worse enemies of Ireland
than William ever was. He killed his
men, but left her the proud recollections
'of Limerick and Sarsfield; they are kill-
hopcs of the future.

A Trip from Norwalk to the RockyMountnins
scram-films.
m.
anrTEn 1:
Early in the Autumn of 1882 our party
having previously decided to takes trip
to the Rocky Mountains, made all neces-
sary arrangements for the commencement
of the journey. For several weeks no
rain had fallen. Crops were a failure;
and pasturage rapidly drying up; yct'on
the day of the start, the clouds assumed a
threatening appearance, and at noon the
rain poured down in torrents. It was use
less at that:timc to hesitate, for the tickets
were purchased, section in sleeper en-
gaged, .and baggage checked. and at. 8:10
p. m. we left Jersey City by the Penn-
sylvania Railroad for Chicago. On
awakening the next morning after a quiet
and refreshing .sleep, we were not pre-
pared tO witness a cioudlcss sky. The
sun was just rising, and although every
thing seemed to bear testimony to the se-
verity of the storm of the preceding day.
yet now all nature smiled, and appeared
to be clothed in her holiday attire. In
place of the parched fields we had left
behind us, here every thing was green
and beautiful. Surely, Pennsylvania has
not suffered from the drought. A river
is flowing by us with unusual speed, its
waters are turbid, and the stream swollen.
Is this a the beautiful and blue J uniata of
which poets have written? Never would
such glowing descriptions have been
given, had it been seen immediately
after a storm, for it has now lost its
beautiful blue, and the clayey soil is well
mixed in with the flowing stream,.
while the white foam on its surface very
closely resemblbs the wake of a steamboat.
It is quite amusing to watch the porters
whenever the train stops, The to the side
of this car.and opening the door of the
refrigerator, which is built under} the
center of the car, draw out‘from thence a
steak, a shoulder of lamb, or a chicken,
and run with them to the kitchen just as
the train commences to move. This is
the Hotel car, and one end of it is par-
titioned cfl.’ as a kitchen, in- which meats
and vegetables are being prepared for
breakfast, yet the most sensitive passen-
ger will scarcely notice that anything
of the kind is going on, so perfect is the
ventilation in the kitchen. But our at-
tention is attracted at 8 a. m. to-a trans-
formation which is taking place in the
interior arrangements, of the car. As we
entered it last evening, the elegant deco-
rations of this coach, with its brilliant
illumination of ten lamps, were specially
noticeable. Before long, it assured the
appearance of a sleeper, with its narrow
passage way between two long lines of
curtains, behind which its living freight
was ensconced. Again, this morning it
resumes its elegant appearance as a pas-g
seuger coach ; and at this time, tables are
set, as in a restaurant; while the porters,
nowtransformed into waiters, with their
white jackets and aprons, and napkin
over their arm, are bearing in the steam-
ing viauds above the heads of passengers,
and as one table after another is fully
prepared, the waiters are ever on the alert
to attend to the demands of each pat-
ron.
Breakfast being over, it is time for us
to admire the prospect. '
Beyond the Juuiata, which still flows
by our side, the green hills put in their
appearance, and at times some massive
rock, seamed by ice or time, gives a sem-
blance of ancient mason work, so perfect-
ly are they built up in large slabs. Per-
chance, a little village through which this
road may pass, adds variety to the scene.
The fields, so "fresh, and verdant, the
gently rolling ground, and the green hills,
all passing before the eye, like a constant
panoramic display of beautiful scenery,
all combined, present a scene which the
brush of a landscape painter cannot
equal.
The train stops for a few minutes at
Altoona, 327 miles from New York. It
is well to step out here and take a breath
of fresh air this lovely morning. A large
portion of the passengers appear to have
entertained the same idea, judging by the
why the depot platform is filled.
On remarking to the conductor, how
beautiful is this scenery, bcjsuys, "Yes!
but the next six miles will far exceed it.”
Two engines are now attached to the
train, as it mounts the grade of nearly 90
feet to the mile, while ascending the
Alleghunies. More and' more splendid.
does this scenery appear. To those who
are on the left side of the car,in,going
westward, the constiiut rise is grand,
looking“ down upon the valley below, as
upbn a beautiful park; the engines and
every car on the train being distinctly
seen at one view from the window on the
side. The porter calls attention to the
Horse Shoe Bend as the train in its rapid
curve presents theiappearanc‘e of another
train ahead crossing our track. Round,
round we go, as we recall to mind the old
song, “I see them on the winding way."
and now look down upon this valley
below, while over the tree tops may be
seen the track just passed over, for our
course is reversed. Grand as is this
scene to those who pass |cver it for
the first time, yet these who have fre-
quently gone over the road, never grow
weary in admiring it; nor does the res!-
dent of this section of country ever tire in
praising the Pennsylvania scenery.
Having reached the top of the grade, a
tall smoke pipe heaves in sight, reminding
the traveler of the smoke stack of some
of the large steamboats. But the smoke
and flames which appear, show that it
belongs to a furnace for smelting iron.
While intently gazing upon this, and its
surroundings, darkness closes upon us as
the train plunges into a tunnel and soon
emerges therefrom, near to a station
called Gallilzin. At 3 miles more, Cres-
son is reached, 342, miles from New
York, stopping :at the depot, opposite
the Mountain House. The country at
this point is beautiful. The railway ap-
pears to be laid through the private
grounds of some gentleman. The nest,
side'of the track, are at the depot skirted
with some trees in groups, between which
log all the glory of the past and all the.
fi
rangements to have the trunks forwarded
'whltc fences, and the large lawns on each
a wide gravel road leads up to the hotel,
about 3 or i rods distant. This is a very
popular summer resort for citizens from
New York and Pennsylvania on account
of the celebrated Cresson Springs.
As the train is again under headway it
passes by several rows of furnaces, each
glowing with the white heat as seen
through slight openings at the furnace
doors. On the top of the furnaces, a
small horse car, loaded with the materials
used in there is seen, and frequently little
jets of fire are noticed close by the un-
concerned horse.
Al. 2 p. in. Pittsburgh is’reachedj Tbs
place is noted for its factories, and for its
coal mines. Large quantities of iron and
steel. rails are sent away from here to
supply the Various railroads. Tall col.
umns of smoke, black and heavy, emerge
from the tall smoke pipes and chimneys
which here abduud, until the very atmos-
phere itself is surcharged with it, so that
it cannot'ouly be seen, but be tasted and
breathed.» To look upon the streets filled
and thickly covered with smoke, it
might be imagined that. a terrible confia-
gration was raging, one which would take
the flip departments of several large
towns o extinguish. This is the terminus
of the Pennsylvania road, and the com-
mencement of the Fort Wayne road. It.
may bc'well while viewing the factories.
to think of the immense amount of
mauufactuged articles that daily go from
this place; of the cargoes and trains of
coal freightcd from lhcsc regions. Think
of the vast amount of human beings here
ccngrcgatcdmf the important position
this town holds in the United States; of
its controlling effect upon the politics of
the State. ,
But the train starts again, and a new
conductOr takes another :punch from the
passenger-3' ticketsr Again, the green
fields showtbat showers have been in
abundance, and every thing looks luxur-
iant. Whatacontrast to things in the
East! '
The supper hour arrives. The lamps
are lighted. A brilliancy is given to the
car by the light of so many luminaries.
Soon after supper the beds are made up,
and night closes the scene. We are ex-
pected to reach Chicago early next morn-
ing. In the morning passengers are all
up bright and early; toilets are speedily
prepared, and the obliy‘ng porters stand
ready with whisk in hand to make the
passengers presentable by brushing their
clothes and hats. It is surprising to see
how the porter is ever on the alert to
catch the quarter carelessly dropped, and.
never allows it to reach the floor; then
with a polite bow and a “thank you sir,”
turns to the next customer. How that
obscquious bow elevates the donor in his
esteem and enhances his selfrespect! At.
8:30 the train comes to a full stop, and
the porters and brakcmcn call out Chi-
cago! The passage from the train to the
depot door must be through an army of
hackmen, cxpressmenZnnd buss drivers,
each endeavoring to attract attention and
reach for the baggage. Breakfast is the
flrst,tbing in order. Then tickets must be
purchased and baggage rc-cbceked. In.
ordinary cases these tickets would have
been obtained on till: start from New
York, but inasmuch as excursion tickets
were made at considerable reduction from
Chicago westward, most persons preferred
to submit to some inconvenience, and
thereby save a large amount by purchas-
ing the excursion tickets at Chicago.
The Union Depot at Chicago is a large»
and elegant building. and the interior is
well adapted for the large concourse of
people that assemble here from all parts
of the country; and while waiting for
trains there is no necessity for being too
much crowded as there is abundance of
room. On account of the exposition held
at Denver, we were enabled to obtain
tickets westward by way of Kansas City,
and returning by way of Council Bluffs,
at more than one-third deduction in ad-
dition to other privileges as may hereafter
be seen. On account of delay, occasioned
principally by the non-arrival of the bag-
gage, and the time taken in making ar-
wc were unable to look about Chicago,
but .will take that on the return-trip.
Chicago is noted for its being the radiat-
ing point for railways running in every
conceivable direction. It is 912 miles
from New York by the route taken, and
That Troublesome Baby.
“Well how is the baby ?” asked the gro.
cery man of the bad boy, as he came into
the grocery smelling very “homey,” and
and looked Very fired.
"0 darn the baby. Everybody asks inc
about the baby as though it was mine. I
don't pay no attention to the darn thing,
except to notice the foolishness going (in
around the house. Say,I guess that baby
will grow up to be a fire engine: The
nurse coupled the baby to a section of
rubber hose that runs down into a bottle
of milk, and it began to get up steam and
pretty soon the milk began to disappear
just like the water does when a fire engine
couples on to ahydrant. Pa calls the baby
‘Old Number Two.’ I am Number One,’
and if pa had a hook and ladder'truck and
a hose cart and a fire gong, he would im-
agine he was chief engineer of the fire de-
partment. But. the baby kicks on this
milk-wagon milk, and bowls like adog
that's got. lost. The doctor told pa the
best thing he Could do was to get a goal,
but pa said since we ’mshiated him into
the Masons with a goat he wouldn't have
a goat around no how. The doctor told pa
the oth'c'u' kind of’a goat, I think it was 3
Samantha goat he said, wouldn't kick with
its head and pa sent me up into the Po!-
ack settlement to see if I couldn't borrow
a milk goat for a few weeks. I got a wom-
an to lend us her goal: till the baby got big
enough to chew beef, for a dollar a week,
and paid a dollar in-advance, and pa went
up in the evening to help me get. the goat.
Well, it was the darndest mistake you ever
see. There was two goals so near alike
you couldn’t. tell which was the goat Owe
leased, and the othcrgoat was the chum of
our goat, but it belonged to u Nirish wom-
an. We got. a bed "cord hitched around
the Irish goat, and that goat didn't recog-
nize the lease, and when wctricd lo jerkit
along it reared right up, and made things
real quick for pa. I don’t know what.
there is about a goal. that makes it get. so
spunky, but that goal seemed to have a
grudge against pa from the first. If there
were any places on pa’s manly form that
the goat did not explore with its head, pa
don’t know where the places are. 0, it
lammed lnm, and when I isffed pa got
mad. I told him every man ought; to fur-
nish his own goals, when be bad a baby,
and I let go of the rope and started off,
and pa said he knew how it was, I wanted
him to get killed. It wasn’t. that, but I
saw the Irish woman that owned the goat
coming around the corner of the house
with a cistern pole. Just as pa was get-
ting thc goat out of the gate the goat got.
crossways of the gate, and pa yanked and
doubled the goat right up, and I thought
be bad broke the goat’s neck and the
woman thought so too, for she jubbed pa
with the cistern pole just below the belt
and she tried to geta hold on pa’s head,
but he had her there. NO woman can
get thoadvantagc of pa that. way, ’causc
ma has tried it. Well pa explained it to
the woman and she let pa Off if he would
pay .her 02 for damages to her goat, and
bo'paid it, and then we took the nanny
goat, and it went right along with us.
But. I have got my opinion of a baby that
will drink goat’s milk. Gosh, it is like
this stuff that comes in a spoiled cocoa-
nut. The baby hasn't done anything but
blot since the nurse coupled it into the
goal; hydrant. I had to take all my play-
things out of the basement to keep the
goat from catng the I guess the milk
will taste of powder i" singed hair now.
The goat got to eating some Roman
candles me and my chum hid away in a
coal bin, and chewed them around the
furnace, and the powder leaked out, and
a coal fell out of the furnace on the hearth
and you’d died to see pa. and the hired
girl and the goat. You see pa can't milk
nothing but a milk wagon, and be got the
hired girl to milk the goat, and they were
just hunting around the basement for the
goat, with atin cup, when the fireworks
went off.
Well, there was balls of green, and red
and blue fire, and spilled powder blazed
up and the goat just looked astonished,
and looked on as though it was sorry so
much good fodder was spoiled; but when
its hair began to burn the goat gave one
snort and went between pa and the hired
girl like it was shot out of a cannon, and
it knocked panver a wash boiler into the
coal-bin, and the hired girl in amongst
from thecne to Kansas City 492 miles.

The Drinks of all Nations.
“Drinks of All Nations” was the sub-
ject of one of President Cotlou's lectures
before the Trenor Hall temperance meet-
ing in New York. “Britons," he said
“spend annually £140,000,000 in drink,
an average of $19 'each. This does not.
include the sum paid for imported French
wines. I have learned that America is
now cxportinglarge quantities of whisky
to England. If so, God help England.
In Russia, the common people drink
enormous quantities of strong beer. The
nobility consume a great amount of bran-
dy. The government has recently ap-
pointed. a commissioner to devise a
scheme of national reformation. But one
dram shop is to be allowed in each village
and where two towns are in close prox—
imity one shop must do for both. At.
present, 8,000,000 gallons of wine and
brandy are annually consumed in Russia.
Hollanders drink gin and beer. Germans
use beer and wine as beverages. In 1878
Official reports show that there were
11,800 breweries in the German speaking
countries, turning out 846,000,000imperi-
a1 gallons of beer. In Copenhagen the
authorities have decided to reduce the
1,350 beer shops to eight. No pretty bar-
maids are to be allowed to serve liquor,
and the drunken man must be carried
bomeina cab at the expense of the last
man who sold him beer. The Turks are
the only temperate ‘racc of all civilized
nations. No good Mohammedan touches
distilled or malt liquors.” ‘

Over 50,000 bushels of southern oysters
have been planted in New. Haven barbbr
the kindling wood, and she crossed herself
and repeated the cateklsm, and the goat
jumped up on top of the brick furnace,
and they couldn't get it down. I heard the
celebration, and went down and took pa
by the pants and pulled him out of the
coal-bin, and be said he would surrender
and plead guilty of being the biggest fool
in Milwaukee. I pulled the kindling
wood off the hired girl, and then she got
mad and said she would milk that goat or
die. 0, that girl has got sand. She used
to work in the glass factory. Well sir, it.
was a sight worth two shillings admission
to see that hired girl get up on a step lad-
der to milk that goat on top of the furn-
ace, with pa sitting on a barrel of potatoes
bossing. the job. They are going to fix a
gang plank to get the goat down off the
furnace. The baby kicked on the milk
last night. I guess besides tasting of
powder and burnt hair the milk was too
warm on account of the furnace. Pa
has got to grow a new lot of hair on that
goal; or the woman won’t take it back.
She doht want no bald goat. , Well, they
can run the baby and goat to suit them—
selves, ’cause I have resigned. I have
gone into business. Dcn’tyou smell any-
thing that would lead you to surmiSc that
I had gone into business ? No drug

put his thumbs in the arm—holes of his
vest and locked prbud. I
“O, I dont know as I smell anything,
except the faint odor of a horse blanket.
What have you gonp into anyway ?" and
the grocery man put the wrapping paper
under the counter, and the red chalk in
his pocket, so the boy couldn’t write any
sign to hung up outside.
“You hit it the first time. I have ac-
cepted a situation of teller in a livery.

around for the barrel of cut“ sugar which
had been moved.
“Teller in a livery stable! Well, that

looked pleasant and pointed to a barrel of

is a little too rich for my blood, but the

settles it. But I must. go and umpire that
game between pa. and the hired girl, and
the goal. Say, can‘t you come over and
see the baby ? ’Taint bigger than a small

when he slipped out and put up a sign

My Ship;
. Br mama‘s— Lennon;
I stood on the shoreztgunset,
And watched. the tide flow by,
Mirrowing closi- omits restless breast
The crimson and gold or the sky.
The boats that had entered the harbor
Were anchored safe in the bay, ’
And lazily rocked, with white wings set
At rest till another day!
Faint on the far horizon
Glimmered a. lonely sail;
And I watched with eager, anxious eyes
To see if ’twould win or fail.
The wind was dead against it,
The tide bowed strong and still;
But steady and sure as the wind and tide
And just as certain a Will,
The sail grew large and larger, : ‘
Wavered, andfaded away ;,I I '
Yet still I watched with anxious eye's, v
To see it re-cnter the bay 1
In the west'tho colors deepened ;
And a golden, sunset ray
Fell aslant the ocean and rested on
. A ship that had entered the bay!
“My ship !” I cried out gladly,
Watching the shining sail ~
That was touched'td' i‘delicdté, resente hue
By that toy from the sunset pale.
“But how did it enter the harbor ?”
I asked pf a. sailor halo.
“Why, child, it lacked ’gainst wind and tidc,
And come in with glOwing sail 1”
"But the wind‘and tide o’ercamo it,”
I said—“as ’twas entering the bay !”
"ch,” answered this gray haired captain—
“yes!
But, child, it tucked I say !’
“Tucked !" I repeated, eager
For knowledge, “Whatis that, please?”
"Why,” laughed the captain—“why, my child
’Tis coming in ’gainst the breeze 1”
“But how do they do it ?” I queried,
Watching the stately ship, .
“’Tis sailing hither and fro, dear child,”
Said the captain, with smiling lip,—
“Till at last, with stem endeavor
Gaining against the tide—
Tho’ that and the wind may both be strong—
Into port ’twili certainly ride.
“For, child. a patient waiting
O’ercomes the strongest ii] i”
As the captain paused the ship “hove to—’
At rest beneath the hill. ’
“In life,” the captain continued,
“The winds and tides of fate
Arc strong and relentless for those who yield
To the swelling waves of its hate.
"But, child, there is One above us
Who watches with sleepless eye,
And guides the ship with loving hand,
Thro’ tidss that go sweeping by.
“’Tis true He calls to us often
To tack, and tack again;
But when harbor is entered with shining sail,
We see ’twas not all in vain l”
The sunset colors faded;
The tide flowed steadily still,
And bore away in its restless grasp
The sea-weed and shells, at will.
But the ship lay safe in the harbor,
Its white wings folded down;
The strong, salt breeze from over the moor
swept on thro’ the quiet town.
NO sail to be seen on so ocean—
All was peaceful and still;
But I’d learned a lesson grave and true,
That evening, under the hill!
Old Customs.
EDMUND LYON.
Old customs ! Well, our children say
We gotalong without them;
But you and I, dear, in our day
Had other thoughts about them.
The dear old habits of the past—
I cannot choose but love them,
And sigh to think the world at last
Has soared so for above them.
We had not, in the years gone by,
The grace that art discovers ;
Our lives were calmer; you and I
Were very simple lovers.
And when, our daily duties o’er,
We strayed beside the rushes,
The only gems you ever were
Were bright and blooming blushes.
Our rustic way was slow, but yet
Some good therezwas about it,
And many ills we now. regret
01d habits would have routed.
I know our children still can see
The Fifth Commandment’s beauty—
May they obey, as once did we,
From love and not from duty.
The world to-day is far too high.
In wisdom to confess them,
But well we know, dear, you and I,
For what we have to bless them.
Though love was in the heart of each,
I trembled to accent you.
Had you required a. polished speech,
I think I should have lost you.
No doubt our minds are slow to gauge
The ways we are not heading;
But here upon our menory’s page
Is very simple reading.
It says the forms we still hold fast
Wore wise as well as pleasant—,
The good old customs of the past
Have leavened all the present?
Robert G. Ingers'oll’s former home was
Peoria, 111., and his old neighbors are in-
clined to glorify him. One of their stories
is that a Christian woman went to his
house to convert him. The Colonel
smiled with the most deferential politeness
as he said: ‘ “Will you not walk in,
smudam? There is no need of making too
solemn a business of it. I thank you for
your kind intentions, at any rate." The
lady, who apparently had expected to be
knocked down and dragged out for her
temerity, looked very much relieved at
the kindness of her reception. A
moment after the dinner bell rang.
“Come," said the Colonel, “walk out and
dine with the family, and we can talk
over this conversion businessas we eat.”
Soup was served. As it came on the
table, and before it was ladled out, the
lady lifted her hand. “Stop!" said she.
“What is it ?" said the Colonel. “Do you
not think we ought to thank the good
Lord for this bountiful dinner before we
begin eating ?" “I will only make one
suggestion first. Your Lord is 1} Just
Lord, is he not ?Now, perhaps wrthmn
block of me at. this present time there is
some faithful, devout Christian who is
starving. Perhaps, if perfect justice were
done, our dinner should be on his table.
Do" you not think the less we say_aboul.
this matter the better '1’" It was in this
way the talk ran on. The lady came
every day to visit the Colonel and his
family. She appeard to be fascinated
with the loving trust, content and happi-
ncss of this compact household. .Finally
she said to the Colonel: “I a cloglzc,I do
not care what you believe. on are lead-
ing more of a Christian life than I ever
hope to accomplish.

A man who had thumped his wife until
she died of a broken heart,sought to de-
ceive his,friends by having an excellent
photograph of her copied in oil colors and
exhibiting it as a proof of his love and fi-

a friend; “do you think it can be beat?"
“Not now," was the sarcastic reply.
