IMPLOK.l PACE.
The clouds that stoop from yonder sky
Discharge their burdens, and are free ;
The streams that take them hasten by,
To find relief in lake nnd sea,
The wildest wind in vales afar
Sleeps, pillowed on its rutiled wings;
And song, through many a stormy bar,
Beats into silence on the strings !
And love o'ercomcs hisyonng unrest,
And first ambition’s flight o’er;
And doubt is cradled on the breast
Of perfect faith, and speaks no more.
Our dreams and passions cense to dare,
And homely patience lenms her part;
Yet still some keen, pursuing care
Forbids content to brain and heart.
The gift unrouchcd, beyond the hand:
The fault in nil of beauty won ;
The mildew of the harvest land,
The spots upon the risen sun !
And still some cheaper service claims
The will that leaps to loftier call;
Some cloud is cast on splendid aims,
On power achieved some common thrall.
To spoil each beckoning victory,
A thousand pigmy hands are thrust;
And, round each heiget attained, we sec
Our other dim with lower dust.
Ah, could we breathe some peaceful air,
And nil save purpose there forget,
Till eager courage learn to bear
The gadfly’s sting, the pebble’s fret!
Let higher goal and harsher way,
To test our virtue, then combine !
’Tis not for idle ease wc pray,
But lreedom for our task divine.
—Biyuni Taylor, in filthifyJar March.
From tbe Memphis Appeal.
SINGULAR ADVENTURE OF A MAN,
A MULE AND A BEAR.
WIT AND HUMOR.
Last Saturday a gentleman living
near Madison Station, on the Mem
phis and Little Kock Load, left Ins
home to go to the village, lie had
not proceeded more than 200 yards,
mounted on a lineal descendant of
Balaam's ass, when lie encountered a
great, greasy, black bear. The beat
was astonished, and without taking
time to think, hurried up a scaly bark
hickory and seated himself very com
fortably on a limb, thirty or forty feet
from the ground. The farmer was
.completely puzzled. If be rode back
ito his house to get bis gun the bear
twould surely escape, lie therefore,
ttfed the mule, a long cared, melan
choly mule, forty or fitly years of age,
•,to the body of the tree. The mule
vwas bri<.Uft-ivisc, but one bridle would
ihold him, and with this lie was fasten-
,ed to the tree. The farmer started
do the house, and Bruin dividing his
iplans, deemed it proper to get away.
He doubtlofs suspected that a gun was
.coming. He came slowly down, tear
ing the liark from the body of the tree.
It rattled about the sleepy mule’s bead,
^vho had not yet seen die bear, and
.dreamed not of the proximity of the
•ugly beast. The bear descended slow-
Jy until he was within five feet of the
mule’s great ugly bead. Then it was
that the stupid, innooent, unsuspect
ing mule looked up. He had never
seen a bear before. Ilis knees smote
.one another. Kc grew pale in the
face. His eyes were projected from
9iis head—the farmer said—half a foot.
His tail was slowly lifted, the hairs all ■
turned awry, till it stood at an angle'
/if forty-five degrees above bis spinal
.column, and then it was that the mule
■“lifived a sigh and smelled a smile.”
It wn«an unearthly sound; the farmer,
fifty yards away, says it shook the
iground where lie stood watching the
«rogrcss of events. The bear sudden
ly twisted itself about and reascendcd
to its perch. The mule swooningly
fell at the base of the tree. He lay
still and apparently lifeless for a time,
♦vlicn Bruin again attempted the de
scent ; but the terrified mule howled
and roared even more terribly and
piteously wheel the bark liegan to fall,
nnd he dashed and danced about the
tree so frantically that Bruin, hesitat
ed, and finally, in stupefied niwuoment
sat upon the limb upon which he first
rested. The farmer came with his
rifUe, and a bullet soon stopped the
pulse beats of the bear. It fell heavi
ly beside the mule, and, strange to tell,
ns told to us, the mule* and bear died
side by side; the one of a mortal
wound; the other of mortal terror.
The bear was still black as Erebus;
the mule’s face was already white with
jin indescribable agony of mortal fear.
A Genuine Haunted House in
Hickman County.—Mr. Bison, liv
ing iu the house formerly occupied by
Mr, Waddell, and afterward by Mr.
M. W. Matthews, at night hears
strange and unaccountable sounds
sometimes as of an unshod person
walking about the floor, at others of
persons scuffling, nnd then of doors
opening nnd closing, and again of
chairs falling on the floor. Some
times the sounds proceed from one
jiart of the house, sometimes from
another, but usually from unoccupied
up stairs rooms. Careful searcli about
the house at the time tb.c sounds arc
made fails to revccl their source or
cause. On one occasion, while Mr
Rison was looking in a room to dis
cern the cause of the noise, the door
pcomed to l>e forcibly pushed against
him. The sfiundaljore heard by all the
nicmliers of the family and by work
men.employed in the shop, and have
I teen heard" bv those who previously
occupied the house, usually by night,
but sometimes by day. Mr. Bison
has beard the sounds for several months,
nnd has made every effort to discern
their cause,.but without success. Ho
appears to be a calm, sensible, reflec
ting man ; says be “ docs not believe
in ghosts,” and is not afraid o£ them ;
nor is he afraid of the noises about his
house, but they disturb his sleep and
alarm members of the family. A
short time ago, when Mr. Bison was
searching for the cause of the noise, be
found some human bones stowed away
in a back attic, but he docs not at
tribute to them any influence in pro
ducing the sounds, nor is there any
mystery as to how they came there, as
he has ascertained that they were found
in the country by a previous oeccupant
of the house and deposited there simply
as curiosities. The sounds do uot
proceed from the part of the house
where the hones are deposited.—Col-

THE ORIGIN OF THE “FIGHTING

It is said that the street-car drivers
of St. Paul have been provided with
horns. It is too often the case that
the street-car drivers up that way pro
vide themselves with “horns.”
A newspaper ht Ottawa county,
Kansas, lias the following: “ Last
week we announced the marriage of
a young friend, and now it becomes
our pleasant duty to announce that he
is the father of a bouncing boy.”
“ Do you think Jonah cried when
lie was in the fish’s belly?” was the
question put to an oily seaman by a
sleek querist. “ Don’t know,” replied
Jack, “ but should think not, as there
was plenty of blubber without liis’n.”
The New York Commercial Advertis
er tells us that Pittsburg is the para

The city editor of the Jacksonville
Journal offered to send his girl the pa

“ May I leave a few tracts.” asked a

heel toward the house, if you pleaee.”

A Western editor, receiving on m
vitation to take tea with a lady friend
accepted. While at the table tlie Indy
observed that he had no spoon for his
cup. “ Is it possible,” said she, “that
I forgot to give you a spoon ? 1 could

A country youth inquired at a city
drug store for ten cents’ worth of “lov
powders,” something that wouldn’
stir her up much, but make her dream
of him of nights. The urbane drug
gist’s clerk put up some magnesia, and
cautioned the purchaser not to give
Ins victim too much of it at a time,
but rather win her affections by de
grees.
A Pottsville man, who says ho
hasn’t attended church for twenty
years, boasts that he can remember
perfectly the preacher’s text on the
last occasion of a visit to the sanctuary
And this is the way he remembers it
when asked what it was—“ It is easier
for a camel to enter a circus, than for
a man to eat a package of needles.
“ Pray sir, of what profession are
you?” asked Mr. Edwin James of
witness who had come prepared to
prove a fact, nnd who was not deemed
very respectable. “ Sir, I am a shoe-
makerand wine merchant.” “A what,
sir?” said the learned counsel. “A
wine merchant and shoemaker.’
“ Then, sir,’ said Mr. James, “I may
describe you as a sherry cobbler."
A German marble-cutter of Albany
has instituted a suit against a well-
known dealer for payment of wages.
The workman was instructed to tut
upon a tomb-stone, “ Let ber soul rest
in peace,” but being cramped for space
he abbreviated the sentence thus:
“ Let ber soul r. i. p.” The person
who ordered the stone would not ac
cept it, and it was returned to the
dealer, who deducted the outlay he had
been put to from the wages of the
plaintiff.
The John Bull newspaper, edited by
Theodore Hook, frequently indulged
in offensive personalities in remarkiug
on conduct and character of public,
men. A military hero who would per
sist in placing himself conspicuously
before the world’s gaze received a co
pious share of what lie considered inalig
nant and libelous abuse in the col
umns of said newspaper—his “Sol
dier’s Spirit on revenge.” An officer
anda gentleman could not demean him
self by calling up a hireling scribbler
for honorable satisfaction. No; he
would horsewhip the miscreant in his
den—the bull would be taken by the
horns.
Dinning his uniform, and arming
himself with a huge whip, l e called ut
the office of the paper, and, scarcely
concealing his agitating, he enquired
for the editor. He was invitea by the
clerk tt> take a seat in the room. He
complied, and wase kept waiting while
the clerk, who recognized the visitor,
ran up stairs and informed the ed
itorial rcsponsiblity of his name and
evidentpurpo-e. After an aggravati ng
delay, which served considerably to
increase the ill temper of the officer,
the door opened and a coarse, rough
looking man, over six feet in height,
with a proportionate breadth of shoul
der, and armed with a bludgeon, en
tered the room.
Walking up to the surprised and an
gry visitor, he said, in a voice ot thun
der :
“Are vou the chap as wants to see
me?”
“You ! No. I wish to see the aditor
ol the paper ?”
“That’s me ; I’m the werry man.”
“There must be some mistake.”
“Not a morsel! I’m the head hitter
of this Bull,” said the fellow, bring
ing the nobbed end of his bludgeon in
fearful proximity to tlie officer’s caput.
“You the editor ? Impossible !”
“Do you mean to say I’iu telling a
lie?” roared the ruffian, as he again
raised his knotty argument.
“Certainly not—l\v no means !”
said the officer, rapidly cooling down
and dropping the whip and his wrath
at the same time.
“Weary well then, what arc yon
wanting wi’ me?”
“A mistake, my dear sir—a mistake,
I expected to meet another jierson. I’ll
call some other day,” and the com
plainant backed to the door, bowing to
the drawn stick before him.
“And don’t let me ketch you coming
again without knowing who and what
you want. We’ re always ready for
all sorts of customers—army or naval,
civil or military, horse, foot and dra
goons.”
The officer retired, resolving to un
dergo another goring by the Bull lie-
fore lie again ventured to encounter
the herculean proportions of the fight
ing editor.
When the clerk informed the occu
pants of the editorial santum of the
isit of the irate Colonel, neither Hook
nor the publisher cared to face the
horsewhip. A well known pugilist, the
landlord of a tavcri^in the vicinity, was
immediately scut for, nnd slight
preparation fitted him for the part, in
which he acquitted himself with a
complete success. Tlie story rapidly
circulated, and the reputation of the
fighting editor of the John Bull
prevented further reinostrance from
persons who felt themselves aggrieved
by the personalities of the press.

A Bold Abduction.—Probably
the boldest case of abduction on record
occured in Troy, New York, recently.
A young lady, Mrs. William Stan
ley, was speaking with a young lady
friend in front of a store, before
wliieh there stood a barouche and two
men near it. As the friend walked
away one of these gentlemen approach
ed Mrs. Stanley with a handker
chief, asking her if she had dropped it;
then immediately thru-ting it to her
face, she was made sufficiently uncon
scious for two men to lift her into the
barouche. She was taken to the cars and
put on a train for New York. When
near Poughkeepsie a gentleman who
sat nsar the abductor and his victim
observed an occasional application of a
handkerchief to her face and to his in
quiries as to the cause the reply was
made that she was being taken to the
asylum. The suspicious stranger
kept such a sharp eye oa the abductor
that he left the cars nt Poughkeepsie
station. Tlie lady soon recovered,
and told her story, saying that she
was all the while sufficiently conscious
to know what was going on, bat un
able to speak. Once at New York,
the anxiety of her friends at her sud
den disappearance was relieved by
telegram, when her father and brother
went on to that city after her.

adelphia Ledger:
Homan’* IForfr.—The agent of a
woolen milliat South Iioyalston, Mass.,
recently offered a prize of five dollarsjto
the girl who should weave the most
cloth within a period of three month.
This premium excited so much enthusi
asm among the operatives that many of
the female weavers began work at six
o’clock in the morning, and continued
until seven o’clock in the evening. At
the end of the three months the “Cham:
pion”- had woven 2,605 yards, the
remuneration for which amounted to
$123. The work was extensive and
the prize was mean, but the man who
offered it was meaner, for he refused to
pay it.
