Four-and-twenty hnirpius. scattered every.

Funny bangs and frizzes and a switch of hair;
Gayly colored ribbons, dainty bits of laco,
Lots of other little things on her diessing

Most a bale of cotton—wonder what it’s for?
Close beside a eoiset lying on the floor.
Queerest looking garments, colors mostly
white,
Hanging on a rocking chair Gracious, what
a sight!
Garters sweetly clinging vet to striped hose
Showing lots of littlo holes made by iittlo
toes.
Here a shoe and there a shoe. Oh, but they

flow cau even fairy feet get in them at al ?
Under fleecy blankets; curled up in a heap,
Dreams tho pretty maiden, smiling in hor

Slumber sweetly , angel, dream for evertnoro.

A rowdy cannot end tiro tho sight of
a well-dressed tuan. It acts upon him
as a rod shawl upon a hull. Some years
ago, as two young gentlemen were go¬
ing home from a party in Philadelphia,
they wero attacked by a gang of row
dies. The youths worn brothers, and
noted for iheir boxing. Standing back
to back, they knocked down their as¬
sailants as fast as they came at them.
In a few minutes the towdies lied
Similar tactics once saved two English
anglers from being bitten by a pack of
fierce dogs. As they wore passing a
farm-house, a large dog, whose barking
and glaiing eyes announced his rage,
dashed at them.
Catch up some8tonos and stand back
to back, or he’d worry us,’ ciied the
elder.
Armed with as many stones as they
could pick tip, they put themselves in
position and waited the chargo. But
the dog did riot attack. Ho evidently
thought the position too formidable for
him >o carry by assault. Alter circling
round tlie men two or three times, he
returned to the farm-house.
The anglers, congratulating them¬
selves on the success of their tactics,
pressed onward. They had just passed
over the brow of a bill when a chorus
of ‘Yelp, yelp, yelp!'announced another
and more dangerous att ck.
Wo aro hunted.' shouted one to the
other; 'more atones, and stand firm, or
we are dead men*’
Filling tboT pockets and hands with
stones, tho two men again stood back
to back, and waited anxiously ibe at
tack. On came tho large dog, with
four other dogs, all open mouthed and
barking furiously,
They, too, had their tactics. They
began by circling round the anglers,
and gradually drew nearer and nearer.
A well-aimed stone struck the leader
of the pack on tho head and rolled him
over. Another stone hit a second dog
on tho side and sent him out of the cii
cie howling with pain.
Then the pack halted, retreated some
distance, and again began to circle
round the men. Sullenly they went
round, until, seeing no chance for an
assault, they went slowly off over the
hill.
The anglers wont their way, specu¬
lating as to the method by which the
large dog persuaded his four compan¬
ions to join him in assaulting his ene¬
mies,
A noted minister of fhn gospel relates
that when he first started out in his
profession he preached one morning,
and so much to his own satisfaction,
that when be sat down he looked over
the audience expecting some demonstra¬
tion of their approval. Rut an old
Scotch minister rose to make the con¬
cluding prayer and in it he said: ‘And
now, Lord, we pray Tbee to bless our
young brother, and prick him, and let
all the wind out of him.’ The young
preacher said he earns down out of that
pulpit deeply humiliated, but it was a
lesson be never forgot, and owing to its
teaching he rose to great eminence in
his profession.
Intellect: * ‘Do you really believe
that an asa ever spoke to Balaam?’
queried a man who prided himself on
his intellect. Coleridge, to whom the
question was put, replied: • My frieud,
I have no doubt whatever that the
story is true. 1 have been spoken to
in the same way myself.’ The man
of the inquiring mind retired for medL
tatioQ.

The Importance of Retting the ‘Drop’

Catch a rut in a trap, and lie will
fight. Trap a mao, and—well, you
rely ,
cant on him. It L* according to
the trap. In the heavy stage coach, a
we roll out of Leadvilie, says a frontier
letter, are seveu meu. Cue is an army
ollicer who has half a dozen scars to
prove his bravery. Cut off from his
command on the plains last summer by
a score of Indians, bo entreuched him¬
self and fought the band off until help
arrived. Two of the others are despe¬
radoes, who have killed their men.
Three of the others are stalwart miners,
each with two revolvers, and they look
as if they would prove ugly customers
in a fight,
The Beventh man might do some
shooting uu a pinch, but he hopes then
wiil be no pinch. Iu the crowd are ten
revolvers, two derringers, three repeat¬
ing rides, and four or five bowie knives,
and there is perfect good feeling as the j
stage rolls along. It is tacitly under
stood that tho army captain is to assume
command iu caso the coach is attacked,
and that all are to keep cool and lire to
kill. j
It is ten o’clock in the morning. The I
windows aro down and tho passengers j
are smoking and talking and seeking I
for comfortable positions. Tho coach
, has just . „ reached ...... the top of f a hill, . ... when , i I
every horse is suddenly pulled up. j
‘If it’s a bear we’ll have some fun,’ |
growled one of the minors', as ho put
his head out of tho window.
•If it’s a robber, gin mo fust pop at
t iro,’ whispered one of tho desperadoes.
No one couid say w hat the trouble
was, when a wiry little chap, about five
foot six inches tall, with black eyes and j
hair, clean face and thin lips, appeared
at tho left hand door with a cocked
revolver in either hand ana said:
'Gents, I am sorry to disturb you, but
I've got to make a raise this morning.
Please ieave yoqr shooters and climb
down here one at a time/
It was sudden. It was so sudden
that it took ten seconds to understand
the drift of his remarks. Then every
eye turned to the right hand door, and
the two revolvers held by a second iob~
bor wero seen at tho upon window. It
was a trap. The rats wero caught, and
would they fight ?
‘Gents, I’m growing a leetle impa*
tient, continued the'first robcer, ‘and I
want to see the procession begin to
move.’
Let’s see. The Captain was to lead
us, and we were to be cool aud fire to
kill. But the Captain was growing
white around the mouth, and nobody
bad a weapon iu baud, Tho rats were
not going to fight. Ono of the miners
opened the door and descended, and i
the other six humbly followed. The
seven were drawn up in tho line across
the road, aud while the robber held his
shooter on the liue, he coolly observed
to his partner :
‘Now, William, you remove the weap¬
ons from the coach, and then search
those gentlemen.’
As William obeyod, T7 i"-’ every "Jj victim was U '
ordered to . . hold his hands t above his i
head, aud whatever plunder was taken |
from bis pockets was dropped into! j
William's hat. Four gold watches,
two diamond pins a telescope, a dia
mond ring, a gold badge, and $1,200
in cash changed hands in ten minutes.
Not a man had a word to say. The
driver of the coach did not leave bis
seat, aud was not interfered with.
