Tbe of Prayer.
As Satan parsed througli heaven, from
A walk on earth one day
Grest Jar- looked and questioned him
• Didst heat m^ creatures pray?"
“Ab, Lord! t beard fbelr prayers ro¬
se nod
Where’er I listening stood,
But, my sonlt Hot ofie of them
Prayed for his broiher’s good.’*
Then looked the ruler Are and flame
And spake this fiefee decree}
“Who makes a selfish prayer fs thine,
The others come to me!"
Then all that night on heaven’s
Great Jove and Satan stood.
To see bow m»ny sons of men
Would pray for a brother's good.
Alas! they watched there many an
And yet there came no sound-*;
The poor, they prayed f»f pennies and
The rich they prayed for pounds;
The ugly prayed f<>r beauty, and
The awkward prayed for grace;
The old ones prayed foryouthlul
To hide a wrinkled face;
The limping prayed for healthful joints
The red hair prayed for brown;
The short ones prayed for longer legs.
The long one to be cut down;
The brown eyed prayed for blue ones.
The cross-eyed for straight;
The fat ones prayed f«>r melting down,
The lean ones for weight;
The doctors prayed tor sickness, and
The undertaker death;
The captive prayed for sunshine, and
The phtlu-ick for breath;:
The maiden prayed for lover’s vows,
The soldi' r prayed for war;
Tlte begger prayed for a hoise to ride.
Tbo drunkard prayed for "more;'’
The sf*k n am frayed for break of day
The thief for longer night;
The miser prayed for more of gold.
The blind man for sight,
At i.fcit ther^n a ry'vo*
Up to the starlit sky,
‘ph, may my unele’s soul this night
Rest iu the realms ou high!”
^xitere’s one for mef’ the Ruler
"No so!” the devil said.
"He’s heir to all his uncle’s wealth, ‘
Hence wants the old man dead!”
Just then there came another voice;.
Iu supplicating tones:
"Oh, may the grave be lute to close
O’er neighbor David’s bones!”
"There’s surely one for mo at last!"
But Satan cried: "Not yet!
He merely wants the man to live
Until he pays a debt!”

Snako Bite.
In conversation with Rev. T. W.
Ellis several days since, that gentle¬
man informed us of one of the strang¬
est cases we have ever heard. Mr.
Isaac Tant of the 14th,- district of
Dooly county, whs one day, while
walking tlnough his fields bitten on
tbe calf of his leg by a grass snake.
He immediately hurried to the house
and there had it poulticed at once.
The swelling remained in his leg for
several days, at the end of which time
he removed the poultice, and to his
very great surprise, four small snakes
of the same genus as the one by which
he was bitten came out of the wound.
The snakes were of course very small
being from the size of a pin to as large
as a common earth worm. The quea.
tion with ns now is (for we do not
doubt the truth of tbe story) how did
those sna es get in the wound? Were
they attracted there by some cause to
mako it there house for a little while?
or has tbe poison of the snake
power to generete other ones of tbe
same specie#? This question we leave
for others, We merely state the facts as
given to us.—Berrien County News.
A Kentucky Colonel. '
At a soldier#’ reuuion, a colonel who
hailed from Kentucky was invited to
make a speech. He mounted the
stand and began a enlogy on tbe sol¬
dier. Warming np to bis topic, he ex¬
claimed with passionate fervor: "Tbe
soldiers’home is on the b.ittle-field."
As he paused'ipipre-^sively, a veter¬
an in tbe crowd yelled up^/ "You al¬
ways were a great hand' f at running
away from borne.”
The siienee which followed this re¬
mark became very embarrassing, and
tbe Kentuckiau refrained from any
further remarks.—Ex.
Bill Yy«T<lls How Children Should
•f, be Baited.
We should so live that when the
summons comes to be a pureiit it stiff
Hud us prepared. Like a thief it> the
night, at an early hour when we think
not -like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky, the call may come to u*. Let the
night-lamp/ therefore, be trimmed and
burning, and the alum whe^e ye can
lay bold of it at any time. But, above
all, we should make ourselves conver¬
sant with those little parliamentary
rules which must govern the conduct
of the parent in hi* or her sooiul con¬
tact with the child. A few suggestions
upon what couctitutes etiquette aud
Shows good breeding iu this branch of
society, readily marking and contrast¬
ing the coltlvuted parent, aud distin-
gttishing him or her from the vulgar,
the plebeian, the canailles, as Wo say
in France, the James Crow and tliu
sans culottes parent, might not be i)l-
fcmiti or inopportune.
In wiping a child’s nose be extreme¬
ly careful to leave the nose. Home pa¬
rents use so much unnecessary strength
in doing this that they find when it is
too late that they have wiped the nose
of a pot child into sput-e. Nothing
gives more needless pain. Nothing
gives more; pitiful than the child’s first
look of sorrow and disappointment
when he starts up to wipe his nose and
discovers that it is gone. Pau e, foud
parent white the nose is iu its iucip*
iency, and resolve that you will Bpar.-
its nose. It can br of no use to you,
audthg loss of it will be a constant
source «f annoyance to the child.
Parents should impress upon their
children the beauty of self-sacrifice and
aelf-t»buegafckin>, if they know what that
is—I don’t. Jf .there should be but#ne
pieceoV '}*, gi ( o ft to “poor *ie’* pu¬
pa." ft'uiay Sth nun, and after the
funeral your young life will be one
prolonged hallelujah and rose-tinted
whoop-’t nvup Liza Jane.
Parents xltonld not be constantly
suspicious of their children. This will
evidently breed bypociisy and unre¬
liability. If yon fear that your son is
playing pin-pool, do not break down
your constitution and bring ou deli¬
rium tremens hanging around the pool
tables watching all night for him. He
will lb* k upon you witti distrust, and
no doubt ut last tell y on to go and
soak your Lead.
Teach your child the beauty of frank¬
ness and open candor toward ail. J nr
press upon him the beauty of beiug
what you appear to be, uud hate de¬
ception every where. If you will fou-
die him and dote on him in society and
jerk him bald-headed io the soclusion
of the hom-s cfirele. he will readily un¬
derstand what yon mean. Childrrn
soon learn that if yon hug their little
gizzards while visitors are about, and
then, vrbeu the home life is again re¬
sumed, you throw them down cellar
and weur out a table leg on their chub¬
by limbs, that life is real, life is earn¬
est, and the square toed, open, frank
policy is not generally io use.
D • not constantly tell your boy
“how tall” be is—that he “grows like
a weed”— and finally make him think
he is a giraffe. If you keep it tip you
will fiually make a round-shouldered,
awkward, bashful bean pole ont of a
mighty good looking boy. If every
,all boy in this country will agree to
lick every wooden headed man who
tells him "how he does grow,” I will
agree to bold the coat of said ta'l boy.
I am now dealiug with a subject of
which 1 happen to be informed. The
same rule applies to girls as well. If
you want to make your daughter fall
over a piano and yearn to climb a tree
whenever she sees anybody coming to¬
ward the house, tell her “what a great
swalloping tom-boy she is getting to
be.” In this way, if parents act judi¬
ciously and in concert, we shall soon
haven nation of young men and wo-
men whose manners and carriage will
be as beautiful aud symmetrical us the
olaster cast of a sore tee.—Ex.
The newspapers have quit announc¬
ing th it Mr. Tttden is engaged to be

tiful lady, abd that they will probably

being doue for Governor Cleveland
with great liberality.—'Texas S ftings.

Secretary Folger occupies a queer
position for a man who was so long ut
the bead of the Bench <>f New York,
which is considered about Albany, to
compase with the SutpsuoM court of
tho United States. 7’hougl* he is at
the head of the Treasury depai tmout,
he seems to be there 1 ike an oposinm itie
or a rnoroon, irliieii b. "> found |ot
building' empty; gon'e in hnd
domesticated, and there scorns no way
to g;t him out. He did not exuctlv
go m because he desired to do so, but
wss invited in, or at least tho door was
left open for him, and s<», as he sees
no better place to live, he continue*
ttioie, the President being too indolent
to quarrel with him. and the New
York short boys wrbo want his perqui¬
sites scrowl at him afar off, because he
was once a judge and might sentence
some of them if they came too near.
One of his confidential clerks told me
to-day that the *ecretary ha* a pecu¬
liar weakness for beiug photographed
Whether if is vanity or not I wouldn’t
like to say, but I can safely say that
since lie has been Secretary of the
Treasury he has had more photograph*
of himself t iken by the Government
photograph** than any secretary who
has officiated here in my time nnd I
have been here over fifteen yenr«.
He sends lots of them away by mail
weekly, attaching his autograph.
That ia an old custom, but: in his case
it appears to n»e that he is bulling tbe
market, and I feel certain that the
snpply exceeds the demand by a large
majority.

ENCOURAGING. BLOODSHED;
A Detroiter who put in a part oi the-'
winter iu a Tennessee town made a v
number < f friends, among them a gen-.
tLemswi called Colonel and another
known as Judge, Both were recent e
arrivals in the place, and::ns one knew 4
how they eame by their titles, or by 1
wliat right they wore them. The ;
Colonel aud the Judge wer6 good •
friends-fopa while,.but at length they
had it falling out over politics and the
He was passed; This brought a chal¬
lenge which, was-duly accepted. Ia
tlie emirse of a couple of hours the r .
Colon, boullei upon the Detroiter and i
said:.
"The Jndgo is a good fellow at
heart and. i hate to kill him. Maybe'
yon hud belt go quietly to (the sheriff, .
aud he will appear on the ground iu
the moriiiug-audiinterfere.”
Tho- Colonel ha l scarcely disap¬
peared when.tbe Judge came m and!
ni.l:
“I’ve been ohallengtal by the Ooio*
r.el.”
"i’ea, I know.”
"AnJUveaftCfepi d. ! *
-Yee.”
"And. I’ll certainly kill him, for I’m .»
a dead shot.”
T5 Well; he roust take hi« chances.”
- Yes, but he’a a good fellow and I
hate to slaughter him. You might
drop quietly around to tbe sheriff aud «
give him t*iu wink, and, of oourse. he’ll '
prevent tiie duel, aud the-Colonel’s
life will baeavedi”
Both principles understood that tha, -
sheriff was io be notified, but that
official did not receive tbe slightest
hint of the affair. On the contrary,
every effort was made to keep any
knowledge.from him, and mo>ning
came to And tbe men on the grounds
and in great anxiety. Things were
delayed a# leng.as possible, and Anal¬
ly, when it was realized that tbe sher¬
iff would uot show, up, the Colonel -
apologized, nnd the Judge said he was
sorry, and the duel was declarad off.
Neither of tbe men would afterwards
walk on the same side of the street
with tbe Detroiter,—Detroit Post aud »
