The Legend of Christ Church.
Near the southern coast of England,
Rising dark from hills of green,
An ancient church witli Norman towers
By the sailors’s eye is seen.
Seven centuries have written
Strangest stories on each stone,
Making thus a vast palimpsest
b ith rank ivy overgrown.
Of the legends, rarest, sweetest,
Is the story of its birth,
When the mighty frame was lifted
Skyward from its native earth.
In the time of William Rufus,
Norman monks both brave and good,
Laid with zeal its strong foundations,—
For its timbers hewed the wood.
Day by day there labored with them
One who from the forest came;
No one knew his home or nation.
No one ever asked his name.
As wiid violets on the hillside
Bloom when southern winds have blown
By the deft blows of his chisel
Flowers sprang from solid stone.
And the woods felt all the magic ,
Of his gintle artist hand—
Yielding shapes that filled with wonder
All the skillful Norman band.
When at eventide the master
Paid the wages of the day,
not, the wondrous stranger
'Wended to the hills his way.
the puzzled workmen queried:
“Who is this, who asks no hire,
Yet whose perfect skill leaves nothing
Truest art could e’er desire?”
gave answer to their question,
But as whirling mountain snows
Heap great drifts among the gorges,
Steadily the church arose.
Till the hour came ror placing
The great beam which spans the nave;
For its length the oak tree, bowing,
All his mighty fiber grave.
No oak on the hills of England
Towered so far above his kjn
As this monarch, strong, sound heaited,
Fit church walls to enter in.
Ah! we all fall short in something,
Measured by the law’s demnnd.
And the oak beam failed in inches
By the distance of a hand.
EXPERIENCE WITH A BEAR.
A farmer goes prepared for work
IN CLOSE QUARTERS-A HINT FOR
AMATEURS.
“On the third day,” continued the
postmaster, “we had an exciting ad¬
venture with a large bear. Farmer
Riddell, remembering his experience
with the bear two years ago, had
gone prepared in an extra way.”
“How was that?”
“He had been told by an old hunt¬
er that it was a good plan to carry
about a pound of pepper loose in
your pocket, so that if you came in
close quarters with a boar you could
dash#; handful iu his eyes and blind
him.”
“ TVas tho farmer thns prepared?”
“Yes; and on tho day spoken of
we had separated tc look f or deer. I
stationed him on a big rock near a
path, and proceeded around the hill
expecting to start a deer. I had no’t
been gone more than an hour, when
I heard the crack of the farmer’s rii
fle, and I hastened to where he had
been stationed.”
“What did you discover?” asked
Grier.
“ »7hen I arrived, imagine my sur¬
prise to find the fa.imer perched on
the limb of a tree about twenty feet
from the ground, and a big bear tear¬
ing around below, evidently in great
pain.”
“Had lie wounded it?”
“No. It appears that as he was
standing on the rock watching for
deer a bear came suddenly loping
along the path. Impulsively he rais¬
ed his rifle and fired, but missed the
bear. It at once made a dash for him
when he suddenly turned and clamb¬
ered into the branches of a friendly
oak tree near by, losing his rifle in
the ascent. The bear started up the
tree after him, when he thought of
the peper in his pocket, and as it was
about to reach for him he threw a
haaidfnl in his face. Fortunately the
peper filled the eyes of the bear, and
it immediately commenced roaring
with pain and dropped to the ground
Just as soon as I could draw a head
on the crazzcd beast I fired, and for¬
tunately killed it. The fanner then
descended the tree and related the
story how he came lo lake refuge in
its branches.”
TFiiB the hear a large one?”
“When skinned and dressed it
weighed 280 pounds. It was very fat
and we had a splendid roast next day
for dinner. We brought about . 100
pounds of the meat and the skin
home with us Farmer Riddell will
have a robe out of the skin, and he
will keep it as a trophy of his adven¬
tures in the Black Forest.”—New
York Times.
TONEY HILL ON HORSEBACK
THE OLD, DILAPIDATED HOME OF COL¬
ONEL PIKE MILL IN DOUGHERTY.
From the Albany News.
The old plantation known as the
Pike Hill place, five miles from Al¬
bany, in East Dougherty, is dilapi¬
dated, and but few traces ol its past
splendor remain. It awakes, though,
mournful recollections as the friends
of Colonel Pike Hill pass. It was his
home during the many years of his
residence in this county. Then its
“white house,” as the family dwell,
ing is generally called by the negro
laborors, was a commodious and at¬
tractive residence, about one bun.
dred yards from the road. The yard
was shaded with beautiful tree, and
itsgetle declivity reached to the pub'
lie road. The laborer’s houses were
neat and comfortable, and taken all
together the quarter was an attrac
live settlement. O. C. liill, familiar¬
ly known as Touy, rode a pony into
Albany every morning to attend the
academy. lie was a favorite with his
schoolmates, many of whom to-day
reside in Albany and remember his
pleasant manner and gentlemanly
deportment. The old place, with
characters of ruin written all over its
features, aptly illustrates the sadness
of the lives of those who were once
its brightest ornaments. Colonel Hill
has many sympath zing friends in
this section, as he was at one time
one of the most honored and beloved
members of the Albany bar.

Not “Smart,”
Of all forms of bad breeding, the
pert, smart manners affected by boys
and girls of a certain age is the most
offensive and impertinent. One of
these so-called smart boys was once
employed in the affice of tho treas¬
urer of a Western railroad. He was
usually left alone in the office be
tween the hours of eight and nine
iu the morning, and it was his duty
to answer the questions of all callers
as clearly and politely as possible.
One morning a plainly dressed old
gentleman walked quietly in, and
asked for the cashier.
“He’s out,” said the boy, without
looking up from the paper
reading.
“Do you know where ho is?”
“No.”
“When will he bo in?”
“Bout nine o’clock.”
“It’s nearly that now, isn’t it? I
haven’t Western time.”
“There’s the clock,” said the boy,
smartly, pointing to a clock on
wall.
“Oh, yes, thank you,” said the
gentleman. “Ten minutes until nine.
Can wait here for him?”
“I s’posc so, though it isn’t a pub¬
lic place.
The boy thought this was smart,
and ho chuckled loud over it. lie
did not offer the gentleman a chair,
or lay down the paper he held.
“I would like to write a note while
I wait,” said the caller; “will yon
please get me a piece of paper and
an envelope.”
The boy did so, and as he handed
them to the old gentleman, he coolly
said: “Anything else?”
“Yes,” was the reply. “I would
like to know the name of such a
smart boy as you are.”
The boy felt flattered by the word
“smart,” and wishing to show the
full extent of Ins smartness, replied.
‘ I’m one of John Thompson’s kids,
William by name, and I answer to
the call of “Billy.” But here comes
the boss!”
The “boss” came in, and seeing
the stranger, cried out—
“Why, Mr. Smith, how do you do?
I’m delighted to see you. We”—
But John Thomson’s “kid” heard
no more. He was looking around for
iiis hat. Mr. Smith was president of
the road, and Billy heard from him
later, to his sorrow. Any one need¬
ing a boy of Master Billy’s peculiar
“smartness” might secure him, as he
is still out of employment.—Youth’s
Companion.
A Remarkable Coincidence.
Gilhooly is quite intimate with the
Mose Schaumburg family, so much
so that he frequently is a guest at
the Scbamburg mansion on Austin
avenue. One day last week while en¬
joying the hospitality of his Hebrew
friend, Gilhooly remarked:
“To-morrow will be my birthday.”
“So it vash mine,” said J/oses
Schaumburg, junior.
“Mine doo,” chimed in Rebecca.
“What a singular coincidence!”
exclaimed Gilhooly.
“It vash mine doo,” said Isaac.
“Mine doo,” observed Rachel.
“Mine doo,” corroborated Solo¬
mon.
“Mine doo,” piped Levy the baby.
“I dells you, Misther Gildooly,
how dot ish. Ven dcr vash so many
birthdays dot family in, you makes
fifty per slient ven you has deem all
dot same day on,” explained the
head of the family.

Young calves, especially those in¬
tended to be kept for cows, should
be taught at an early age to eat a
great variety of food. Cows worth
anything [as milkers are vora¬
cious feeders and not dainty. This is
one reasen why the much-petted sin
glo cow of the poor man is common¬
ly superior for milking qualities to
the best in a large herd receiving on¬
ly ordinary care. Variety of food is
as conductive to health and appetite
for stock as it is for people. It is ne¬
cessary, from the fact that no one
kind of food is a full ration, and
when one alone is fed the appetite
palls because the food offered does
meet the requirements of the system.
The Country Boy,
The country lad who is trained t*
Rimple ways and homely virtues, and
who learns what a dollar is werth by
actually earning it, under the laws
of imperative necessity, has a tre¬
mendous advantage over the town
boy. The country schools are far in¬
ferior to the town or city school, but
this is counterbalanced by the fact
that the country boy is trained te
work from the rime he can pick up
corn-cobs to run tho kitchen stove
until he goes out to his own home.
The country boy has a mile or so of
walk to and from schools, which give
him vigorous appestite and health.
-The eountiflr boy or giijl is face to
face with practical realities. He see*
bow slowly money is made on the
farm; he is taught from youth up
the need of economy: he has the na¬
ture of saving first explained to him
every day in the week; he is not ex¬
posed to the temptation of the saloon
or the ball-room; be is not tempted
so mueb'to be a lady’s man before
he has occasion to use a razor on his
downy cheeks.
lie may be a'trifle true, he may
not feel easy in company, but in tho
long, closely contested race of life,
it is the chap that trudges to school
barefooted in summer and in stogas
in winter, whose mother cuts his hair
with the sheep-shears, that leads the
chap that goes to the city school
with the starched shirt front and
fancy slippers, and whose head is
shaved with the lawn-mower in tho
barber shops. Such has been our
observation, and we think we know
what we are talking about. Speak¬
ing from experience, we never read
any books with such avidity as those
wegdovoured while the horses were
resting at the end of the plow land.
The boys we envied forty years ago,
because they wore cassimere and
laughed at our jeans, have dropped
so far back in the race that we have
almost forgotten them. The chaps
who had plenty of money at college
and the city bred fellows, have not
been, as a rule, heard from much
since; while the country boys, who
wore plain clothes and kept close to
their books in the old college, are
leading du thought in Iowa and
other States to-day.—Iowa Home¬
stead.
THE OARS RAN AWAY
LEAVING QUINN MINUS HOUSE,JliARN,
HORSE, COW, PIGS AND CHICKENS.
IIonesoale, Pa., December 12 —
Thomas Quinn, an employe of tho
Erie railway, lived with his family
in a house’s few rods from the track
of the Jefferson branch of the Erie,
near, Carbondale. The track is laid
at a heavy grade on that part of the
road. A day or two ago a train of
empty coal cars broke in two while
going up the grade, and the detach¬
ed section ran back down the incline
While going at a high rate of speed
the cars jumped the track when near
Quinn’s houae and dashed directly
toward it.
Mrs. Quinn was at work in the
kitchen, and her three children were
playing in a room on the floor above
The runaway cars laid low Quinn’s
front fence and a summer house in
their course, and, with speed but lit*
tie diminished, struck Quinn’s resi
dencc nepr the centre and went
through it, passing by Mrs. Quinn
so closely as to almost touch her, and
bringing the house in ruins about her
Her three children tumbled down
from the upper storry to the ground
floor with the debris, and, with their
mother, were held fast in the ruins.
The family was soon extaicated frem
the wreck, and not one of them had
received as much as a scratch. The
runaway cars kept on their course
for a ’"indred yards, demolishing
three louses, a small barn and
many\ brougk. >ds of fence before bank they
up against a high in and
piled up on one another a most
complete wreck. In their dashing
through the out buildings and bam
the cars killed three hogs, a bores, a
cow and twevle chickens.
A woman will tell her friend that
her tograph bonnetjjdocsn’t flatters her, fit, that that her her pho>

dress wants taking in in the waist,
or letting out in the bustle, or some¬
thing like that, but no woman will
ever tell, even her bitterest enemy,
that her baby is anyhting but abso¬
