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. Terms—$ 1.00 per annum 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. —- -------- I - 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> neiV 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¬ lute perfection. — San Francisco Chronicle.
