UE GOT IT. ^ of the most touching things r e*d in a long time is that story obber and a poor lone woman in Ohio. u n robber came to her house at night J demanded her money or her life. ghe hadn’t mnoh money or life either, bat she preferred giving np the former ntlierthan the latter; so she bronght iier little store and plaoed it in his hand. a<! looked it over carefully, to see that ,be didn’t palm off any 20-cent pieces | ur quarters, and facetiously told her jt be could credit her for only 94 cents ,trade dollars, chiding her for tak- in „ them :it their faco valno. “ Haven’t von anything else of value?” inquired the |Mild, bad burglar, looking about the scuiitiiv furnished apartment; “a child's bracelet, ring, anything will be thank fully received. ” She had nothing more, she replied, with a' sigh. A thought struck him. “ Your husband was a sol dier, was he not?” She acknowledged that he was, and was killed in the war. “Then he must have had a revolver," he continued, searching her counte nance. “ Ah, you grow oonfused; you stammer; your manner betrays you. Get that revolver at once and give it to me.” In vain the woman implored him to spore that harmless trinket, almost the sole memorial of the husband she bad lost She had pawned many things when in distress, but had always hung on to that Bnt the robber was unre lenting. Sobbing bitterly, she went to s bureau drawer and removed the pre cious relic, around which clustered so many tender recollections. “ Must yon have it ?" said she, advancing with trem bling step toward him. “ Yes, I must,” said the robber, extending his hand. “Well, then, take it,” said she, gently pressing the trigger for the last time. There was a loud report, and the robber tumbled over dead. The community ought to pension that woman.—Cincin nati Saturday Night. WHY IUAD STEVENS BECAME A TEETOTALER. During the whole time oi his resi dence in Lancaster Mr. Stevens wss an uncompromising “ teetotaler.” This is the history of his resolution to abstain: While lie was in Gettysburg he waa a member of a select circle who were ao- customed to meet around at each other’s houses and spend the evening in playing whist and drinking wine and choice liquors. Cue evening one of the party, u great favorite, who was cashier of the bank in G ttysburg, becoming a littlo inebriated, was escorted Lome by two of his friends, who, finding his latch-key, let hiiu in uml left him in the uutry, suppo.-ing tlnit he could find his way up stairs. iu the morning when his wife came down she found him lying upon the entry floor deud. Ho hod hud on attack of apoplexy during the night. When Mr. Stevens lieurd of if ho went into his cellar with u hatchot, broke opon the hemis of his wine and whisky barrels, and would never taste anything of the sort alterward. THE LATEST YANKEE NOTION. It took n Boston man to dovisc a now method of collecting n bad account. He met a fomier customer against whom he had a small outstanding aoooant, and, after a brief conversation, presented the question. The man pleaded utterimpecu. uiosity. Boston soon began to tell a stury ot Midi magnitude that the listen, er bluntly asserted disbelief of it “ I’ll bet you *5 tiiat it is so,” replied Boston. “ IM save that,” said the man, as he s]ieedi:y produced the requisite green back. Now that you have got that bill out, would it not be convenient for you to pay me ? ” chimed in the imper turbable Bo-tonian. The fellow ac- know ..shred that it would, and the matter Was adjusted. The only difference between the le gends of the Indians and the lies of the white men is their age. The boundless, free, untrammeled West, os its citinens love to call it, is certainly proclaiming its right to those adjectives, if the stories its newspapers publish give an index to the character for imagination which it cultivated The latest nows tells how two men who were fishing in an Indian river one evening were attacked by a large black monster with a rough skin like an ele phant's, which attempted to npset the boat, and foiling to do so swum away rapidly, bellowing like a bull.

One border, whom we met at Gold Spring ranch, showed us a very pretty one that he said he would not sell for 8500. She had at that timo tour young puppies. The night wear- rived we visited his comp, and wero greatly interested in the littlo mother and her nursing babies. Amid those wild, vast mountains, this little neat of motherly devotion and baby trust was very beantiful. While we were exclaiming, the assist ant herder came to say that there were more than twenty sheep missing. Two maio dogs, both larger than the little mother, were standing about with their hands in their breeches, doing nothing. But tile herder said neither Tom nor Dick would find them. Flora must go. It was urged by the assistant that her foot was sore, site had been hard at work all day, was nearly worn out, and must suckle her puppies. The boss in sisted tbit she must go. The sun was sotting. There was no timo to lose. Flora was called, and told to bunt for lost sheep, while her master pointed to n great forest, through the islge of which thoy bod passed on their way np. Blre raised hot head, but seemed very loth to leave her br.bies. The boss culled sharply to her. Sho rose, looking tired and low-spirited, with head and tail down, and trotted wearily off towurd the forest I said : • '• This is too bad." ••Oil, she’ll be right bitch. Hho’s lightning on stray sheep.” The next morning I went over to learn whether Flora had iouiid the strays. While <ve sere Kpeuumg the sheep were ret uni.ug, riven by a little dog, who did not raise tier head nor wag her tail, even when spoken to, but crawled to her puppies and lay down by them, offering the little empty breasts. She had been out all night, and, while her hungry babies were tnggiug away, fell asleep. I have never seen anything so touching. Bo far os I was couoomod, •• there was not a dry eyo in the house.’’ How often that scene comes back to mo—the vast, gloomy forest, and that little creature, with the sore foot and her heart crying for her babioa, limping and croeping about iu the wild caverns and through the long, dork hours, find ing and gathering in the lost sheep I I wonder if any preacher of the gospel ever searched for lost sheep under cir cumstances so hard and with such pain ful sacrifices ? But, then, we must not expect too much Irom men. It is the dog that stands for fidelity and sacrifice. Tho best part of man is the dog that is in him.—Dio Lewis. “ Why is n lady unlike a mirror ?’• asked a cynic of a lady.
