Then, pat ting Roland on the shoulder, he said: “If you had not been here, this poor child w’ould not have’been able to tell the story this morning - , lie would either have been dead or suffering terrible agony. Now I think it would be best for you to go home and let your people know where you arc. I will stay..with AValter until his mother a’ rives.” “Come back soon,” said AValter, as Roland left the room. Roland nodded and ran home. ****** That morning at breakfast Ro land relate 1 Iris adventure to his parents. They were both very much astonished. liis mother said she thought it very dangerous to go on the roof alone at night, and that he must never do it again; but since he had saved a boy’s life by it she could not scohi him this time. His f. ther laughed and seemed to think that he must have dream ed it all, and after a while Roland almost thought so himself. But that afternoon a lady called on bis mother, and presently Ro lan : was sent for. The lady was Walter’s mother, and sliedupi come to thank Roland for saving her boy’s life. She spoke so kindly, and seemed so near crying that Raland was very glad when she asked him to go and call on ner Sun. He hurried away, and spent the rest of the afternoon reading and talking to the sick boy. AV hen ‘V alter recove’’ed, which he did shoi tiy. the boys spent many a delightful Lorn- together. Wal ter is often hea.-d to say that he can never be too thankful for “Ro land’s mistake," not only because it saved his life, but gave him such a bLear friend.— Julia K.

From the Nt-w Yurlt Su:. . “im.-y have on the coast of Java a peculiar long-tailed ape and a sand crab that grows to extraordia ary .-.ze and possesses great strength in its claws, ' said a gentleman who lived in Java years ago. “The apes are practically fond of the crabs, which are very shy and won oeifully quick in their movements. They live in deep holes in the sand but spend much of their time or the outside of their holes, where they rim and hop about. They raugt? in size from that of a silver , dollar to that of # our edible crabs. Their claws are not laige, but have a grip that is vitdike. The apes make daily raids on the haunts of the crabs, and occasionally succeed, by creeping stealthily to within a few yards of them, in springing up- on them and capturing one bef Q re they l i;l v e S eainpere*i io their holes. Usually, however, the crabs are so wary that while the ape is still in j Lie air during bis spring toward ; them they have separated and dis appeared into the ground. The ape finding himself too slow to make a capture, then resorts to a • ‘it of s iategy to secure ,i dinner. “His mode of final capture in flicts upon him a pang of ph'/sical suffering which is freqnewy more than he can bear, out hisflbve for the crab as a morsel of is so strong that he never hesit|h?p to ac cept the personal discernrjrt which its capture involves, an® usually bears it witn a which might inspire ad miration® it were i not for its comical side.’<4 ' “When the ape finds that he is’ foiled in his effort to capture a crab by springing at a group, he backs himself up to a hole into which one has disappeared. Sitting down, he thrusts his long tail into the hole. The crab, to punish such unwonted intrusion, seizes the end of the tail in his strong claws the moment it approaches near enough. Any one who may have been so fortunate as to hide himself in the brushes un observed by the ape making the raid, will have a hard time to re strain when the criti cal moment of contact between the crab’s claw and the ape's tail is reached. There is a look of comi. cal suspense on the ape’s face as he thrusts his tail down into the hole. A\ hen the crab closes the tail, the expression of suspense departs. The ape gives an involuntary start, and then settles back on Iris haunches, while he closes bis teeth together with a determined air ; and eventually springing forward, out comes the tail from the bole, with the crab dangling on it. Instantly the ape swishes his tail forward and brings the crab to the ground with a force that stuns it, and causes it to drop its grip. With a stone the ape smashes the she’d of the crab, and is soon picking out the meat and proceeding with his meal. “Ono day I was watching a large ape fishing in this way for crabs. The apes are as shy as the crea tures they hunt so persistently, and the least sound from the brush will send them scampering away, j The ape I was watching made a dismal failure of his attempt to . spring on a crab, and at once pro- I ceedcd to fish one out of a hole.— ’ He selected a hole into which I saw a very large crab disappear, and I anticipated fun. “The ape’s tail h -, d gone its fuff length into the hoi? before his face , indicated that the crab had made I the connection. Suddenly he gave • a start and a 'mil. He bent his bodv : nearly double, and slapped his • hands on ills knees urd wagged his head, wit i his teeth ’closed tight ami his lips drawn down, w’hile on i his f io. - was a look of agony and ! despair doubly intensified. He ! m. ie several attempts to withdraw , ins tail, but fell I ack each time | iiid howled as the crab drew it taut. Tears actually ran down the ludicrous face of the suffering ape, and when ho clapped both hands to his forehead and swayed his ! body to and fro like a litttle old I man tortured by the toothache, howling dismally the while, I could no longer restrain myself, and yelled with laughter. This frightened the ape and he gave a quick spring forward. Out came the crab and away went the ape. — The crab hung to the tail, and as far as I could see maintained its hold, in spite of the way it was lashed and trailed as the ape flew over the ground, yelling at every jump. He disappeared in the thick j brush, but how lie divested himself of the crab I nevei knew.” GREAT MINDS. What the Georgia Editors have to Say in their squibs. Shvannah News.

It may be profitable for him to devote some consider able time to the .study of parlia mentary revolution now going on in that country.

A female invalid is in a bid fix when siie fails to take and retain ice cream.

There has been considerable shooting in Kentucky during the past week, but no judge has been tumbled off the bench.

Experts in cow skins and grasshoppers are apt to become confused when ven- i taring into other fields. The idea of New York city building a monument to General Grant is preposterous. The money will have to be contributed by peo- ; pie in other parts of thecountrv. The office of sheriff in the great state of Kentucky is a very respon sible one. Those who hold it in a . majority of the counties are in a continual state of seige. A Northern exchange wonders ; why a Georgia negro, was so anx ious to return home from Liberia.

The explosion of one at Ennis, Texas, the other day, killed two young ladies. No man, should he allowed to keep an empty whisky barrel in the house. Some great men are not afraid of blackmail.

Mr. Gladstone did not respond, but he bad the man hunt i cd all over Europe and sent to jail j for six months. Agricultural labor in the south ern states has depreciated less in the last twenty years than in any other part cf the country east of the Rocky mountains. It is predicted at Washington that president Ole viand will be back and at work in less than three weeks. There is no hope for “offensive partisans.” The tearful earnestness with which the republican organs are deicadning civil service reform now is a melancholy indication of how they must have suffered in other year.

If Atlanta had to be any other place, she knows no metropolis whose in dividuality she would more joyful ly take on than Macon’s. TZ ■ ll a ■ A Would-be Hermit, t ■ Tex- s Sifting*. : Nut long since a very interesting > article appeared in a Texas paper, , called the Crosby County Clarion and Farmer's \ indicator, oji the sub ject of “hermits.'’ i The writer of the article began i by Hating, positively— solitude! How few there arc who love thy shade! How few there are who find pleas ure in retirement! Ah! how true it is that the greater number dread the idea of thus being alone.” There arc more people seeing solitude ail over the United States than is generally supposed. Unless the seeker after solitude seeks soli tude in Canada, he is very apt to share his solitude with a detective if a suitable reward is offered fur the Would-be hermit. In some cases the earnest hunter after se clusion captures all the seclusion he needs. 1 he would-be hermit, who writes for the- Texas paper we have mens tioned, goes on to say:— “In solitude the lover of nature finds m the smallest insect a sub ject of admiration. He sees in the delicate flower that freights the air with its rich perfume a living record cf created wisdom.” That is precisely what wearies the incipient hermit. He can't stand the Texas insects. As for finding them, in fact, they find him. The seed tick and the red ant always find the hermit, and prevent him from feeling lonesome and neglected. The hermit knows where lie can put iiis hand on the insect. As for the delicate flower that freights the air with its rich per fume, the wild flowers of Texas have no perfume. It must have been something else the hermit smelled. The writer of the article contin ues:— “Then, again, the azure vault, stretching above him with its star ry worlds, dazzle his eyes. When ever in the depths of night, he would admire the works of God, 1 this view is to him far more sub lime than it is to the common spec tator who dwells in turmoil and strife,” We never dispute any man’s word particularly, but if the her mit did not swear in summer, when the mosquitoes tackled him, he would use some strong lan • guage in the fall of the year, un less he were well provided with blankets. lie would see stars in ( the azure vault without having to look for them-although that’s a., good place for them. The correspondent goes onto say ; — “The life of a hermit expands his heart, and creates within him an instinctive longing for the beau tiful world beyond.” A life of that kind, unless the hermit has got a flask, and warm underclothing on his person, will not expand his heart as much as it will contract the muscles of his legs with inflammatory rheuma tism, and then he will have sure enough, an instinctive longing for flic beautiful world beyond-—he will be glad to die then and there on any terms. No hermit should flee from the flimsy joys of this world, people solitude, and pass his life in peace and joy, communing with nature and nature’s god, un less lie carries with him a bottle of liniment for rheumatism. He would have no cause to regret it if, after selecting a secluded desert, he were to rig up a telephone to the nearest grocery, so that he could order an occasional dozen bottles of beer to keep off the chill and help him meditate. We do not at all desire to treat this subject in a spirit levity.— Editors have troubles hermits never dream of. Under some cir cumstances, seclusion is very des irable, but, as a general thing, soli-' tude should be taken in small doses. There are undoubtedly times and occasions when seclusion is very desirable, but the hermit overdoes the business entirely. To properly enjoy and appreciate tiie blessings of solitude, the her mit should be accompanied by several other genial hermits, who will assist him in making the wel kin ring with their peals of merry laughter; and they ought not to stay more than couple of days, for then i it becomes monotonous —unless, of | course, the hermits are waiting for • ti e Grand Jury to adjourn.
