aud ia every single instance where tire

tlie horse was a soriei. Once, at

A vety p .infi.l and senatorial April
fool was perpetrated on the occasion
of the target practice of the Griffin
Greys on the Ist inst. The Nitct thus
desciib ‘8 it: “When everybody was
deeply iuterosled iu the shooting, one
of the company, while carelessly hand
ling his rifle, accidentally discharged
it, and Sergeant McGehee unfortu
nately received the load in his breast.
Ot course he sank to the ground im
mediately and expired almost without
struggle. As soon as he fell there
was the greatest excitement among
those present. Everybody, with pal
lid face and bating bfeath crowded
about the unfortunate man. Several
physicians took charge of the body,
shouting: Stand back!’ ‘Give him
room!’ ‘Give him aii!’ etc., and were
about to probe the wound, when, to
the astonishment of every one, the
dead man rose up, broke into a loud
laugh, and remarked, ‘April fool!””

R v. Theodore L Cuyler t dia tho
story of a physician whp e.-caped ruin
by tlie mimicking of his children. He
began his professional life with the
brightest prospect-*, and being tho -
oughly educator) and skillfu . sot n
won a large and fashionable paac’.ico.
His (laugher was in the baneful ou -
lorn of social wine-drinking in fash
ionable gatherings at aristocratic din
neis. The young physician w>sw il y
and agreeable, a welcome guest evt
rywheio. The rich jmt'.ed him. At
t* rir tables he found tLa social glass.
U drank His appuite was aroused
It grew strong, Soon he could not
control it He, neglected business,
sank lower and lowei, loosing patrons
aud friends, till he became a stagger
ing drunkard. His wife an I children
wanted the necessaries of life. Ol >se
hefor - him and thorn wailed theium
pauper’s inevitable fate.
One Sunday, when half-sobered af
ter a night of excess, he was likely to
remain at home, awhile his wife went
to church and left him with his two
little boys. YVbile the chrildren played
around the room he lay upon a lounge
and sank into a stup-d si ep. Pres
en-ly their noise awoke and angered
trim, but on opening his eye-, he saw
what struck him dumb. His little
six-year-old sou was (-tag-goring across
the lijor and tumbling down, in ex
act imitation of an intoxteated man.
The other >oj, older than he, laughed
with delight st his performance.
“That’s just tike papa ; let’s both

his brother ir the sport.
How tho agony of conscience awoke
in that fallun fat hoi’s breast! Had he
lived to become such au infam .-us pat
ient to those inuuceut little ones?
When next the wietched man left
