the cemetery lot Os a well known

graves and felt a disposition to anile at

in that of the butcher’s favorite emblem

Herses in war suffer more fatalities
than men. Out of the many thousands
who perish to their duty toward their
masters only few return home to spend
their lives in the ease and honor they
deserve. One warhorse, however, which
made a splendid record for himself and
now haa his virtues, name and noble
deeds engraved on a fitting tombstone
was Copenhagen, the horse the great
Duke of Wellington rode at the battle
of Waterloo.
Nine years after the Emperor Na
poleon died at St. Helena an old white
horse perished of old age and pneumonia
to England. The skeleton of the animal
is set up in the Royal Service institu
tion, and to all visitors it is pointed out
as Marengo, the charger Napoleon rode
at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo
camo originally from Egypt and was
left to wander on the dismal battlefield
when the emperor was forced to fly for
his life. An English officer found and
took him, and he was sold to a general
in the British army. In English pas
tures, cared for by kindly grooms, this
noble horse passed the latter years of
his life far more peacefully and happily
than his great and unfortunate master.

A Weighty Question.
The story is told of a gilded youth of
Chicago whose father employed a pri
vate tutor to ram algebra into the
young man’s head.
In order to simplify the “plus” and
“minus” the tutor used the familiar il
lustration of the counting of years from
the birth of Christ.
“Now, for instance, we speak of so
many years A. D. or in the year of our
Lord,” he said. “Those years counting
from the birth of Christ we may con
sider as the plus units. The years count
ing back one by one before the birth of
Christ we may take to be the minus
unite. Now, suppose I ask you the ques
tion, How many years elapse between
the date 10 B. C. and 10 A. D.?”
“Let me get that straight, ” said the
young man.
The question was repeated. He sat in
deep thought for several momenta and
then said: “Well, now, I’ll tell you. I
could answer that if I only knew in
what year Christ -was born. ” —Chicago
Record.
Subdued tbe Virago.
While Spurgeon was still a boy
preacher he was warned about a certain
virago and told that she intended to
give him a tongue lashing. “Allright,”
he replied, “but that’s a game at which
two can play." Not long after, as he
passed her gate one morning, she assail
ed him with a flood of billingsgate.
Ho smiled and said: "Yes, thank
you, I am quite well. I hope you are
the same.”
Then came another burst of vitupera
tion, pitched in a still higher key, to
which he replied, still smiling: “Yes,
It does look rather as if it is going to
rain. I think I had better be getting
on I”
“Bless the man I” she exclaimed,
“he’s as deaf aa a post What’s the use
of storming at him?” and so her rav
ings ceased and were never again at
tempted.
