Tbs Wilr Mo*sn Prophet.

A certaia aider, while chopping wood, had eat hie leg no badly that it had to ba amputated. Aa aooa aa ha waa able ba cane ta v oang and atatad hia aaas to him aomewhat aa followa: '-1 have tlwaya bean a flood M?rmou; 1 have aaearal wivee and a good mu; children, and in my present maimed condition I do not know how I am pro aided ta keep them. I believe tralj that yoa ara CknUt’s ipn irritative on earth, and that jou have all the power Ha had. It yon lika, yon oan giya me an leg, and now I ask yoa to do it ” Young araeuted to all tba flattering prepaaitiona aa tbay ware laid down, and when tha alder bad fiaiahed apeak - iog ha said; *1 can git a you anew leg. and I will, hat I want you to think •boat it s littla at firat. When tha day of jadgmant oomaa, wherever yon ara baried, yoor old leg will find yon ant and join ittalf to yon, bnt if I give yon a new one, that will riae with yon and tha question ia whether you would rathar suff-r tha incoeaveniencs ot rat king along with one for n few year hero or go through all eternity with three leg*." Tha choice waa quiekh made, and Brigham Young* tepm tion aa a miraele-worker wa *aved Origin of a Popular Song. Among the favorite songs of to-day are soma which originated under peculiarly curious circum stances. The familiar “Peek-a- Boo,” which has been worn nearly Ihreidbare, was, according to its author, Mr. Scanlon, an inspira tion of the moment. It was sug gested by the gambols of some children, who were playing around the door where he whs waiting idly picking out tuae* upon an accordion. As the children peeped cur o sly it s - his door, he began to ty ‘-Pee ;-a-Boo,” nodding hi# h* a i at tiie :• me time. Uaconcioudy theiustruiix ■ t play ed a few notes fo >'iit what he was bu> : z and ‘ie .'in of a new melody struck hi* fancy.

It was t ertainly a happy inspi ration ior Mr Scanlon i Ins melody alone has nelled him $06,000 in royalties, and still brings in a comfortable income, as he receives six cents on each copy sold. It has, with his enor mous other compositions, made him a fortune, in striking contrast with such writers as poor Steph en Foster and John Howard Payne, whoso beat woik served only to enrich tloo publishers who were eo loriunato as to otr.aio thoir entire cou trol. The Duo de FeUrs hat designed an insuameut, which he Gall# a pnoacze nograpli, inteudod to indicate tiao di lectioa ol any distant sound.

An observant and thinking Washingtonian, sayi the Detroit Free Press, while on the subject of the hard work which society wom en at the capitol are compelled to undergo, fella a story of a debut ante that is worth a re-recital in the Detroit Free Press There was a pretty girl, Mias X , just the girl for Washington to kill off in one season. Her mother knew it, and it waa that mother’s knowl edge and devotion that saved tbe girl. The mother watched her darling Chloe all winter with the faithful constancy of a pious nurse in the case of a helpless patient. She sent another (and an elder) member ol the family into society with her, aud she (her mother) staid at home aud did heavy work. She kepi everybody still and com pelled favorable aud soothing con ditions, so that her precious charge could sleep still. Then she lifted her out of bed carried her to the bath, bathed her aud never per mitted her to make the least exer tion iu her own behalf. She rub bod her with dry towels, clothed her, fed her with nourishing food, and iu the afternoon made the grand rounds as her escort At 5 o’clock she brought her charge homo, fed her and put her careful ly to bed. An hour before the time of setting out for the night's whirl she gave her another bath and prepared her for the conflict. She kept that girl going by costant ly grooming her with exactly the same care that a professional pu gilst’s trainer bestowes upon his charge before a fight, or that a jockey gives a race horse; and in the spring, wtien everybody qlse was jaded out aud sick and ready to drop, Chloe was as spry as a cricket, and she captured the best catch ot the season.
