"". . ON THE ROAD. ...
Tka fields ara all aweet with hay,
Tbe brakes are all blithe with tang,
Ob the hedges ran garlands sway,
Ouuwiiiulus dusters throng,
As shoeless, and tattered, and grimy, aad gray.
Ha shuffles along.
A skylark sings high above,
A thrash from yon hanging bough,
Far away in the wood a dore;
But he passes with scowling brow.
Their melodies once he was wont to lore;
Ee bates them now.
Hates all; save the sheltering night,
When under a bank he creeps.
And Squalor is out of sight,
And Hunger its distance keeps.
And unmocked by the birds and the meadows
bright, .
His misery sleeps.

An Affecting Incident.
The conflagration of the scaffolds in
tended for fireworks for the celebration
of the marriage of Louis XVI is gener
ally known. Amidst the distracted
multitude pressing on every side, tram
pled under the horses' feet, precipitated
into the ditches of the Kne Boyale and
the square, was a young man, with a
girl with whom he was in love. She
was beautiful; their attachment had
lasted several years; pecuniary causes
had delayed their union; but the follow
ing day they were to be married. For a
long time the lover, protecting bis be
trothed, keeping her behind him, cover
ing her with his own person, sustained
her strencrth and courajre. But the tu
mult, the cries, the terror and peril
every moment increased. "I am siiik
tnir " she said: "my strength falls. I
can ko no further.
"There is yet a wayf cried the lover
in desDair: "get on my shoulders." He
feels that his advice has been followed.
and the hope of saving her whom he
loves redoubles his ardor and strength.
He resists the most violent concussions:
with his arms firmly extended before his
breast he with difficulty forces his way
through the crowd; at length he clears
it. Arrived at ono of the extremities of
the place, having set down his precious
burden, faltering, exhausted, fatigued to
death, but intoxicated with joy, he turns
round. It was a different person! An
other, more active, had taken advantage
of hia recommendation. His beloved
was no morel New York Ledger.

The great steel bridge across the Co
lumbia river at Vancouver will be a
mammoth concern. It will be 6,000 feet
from the Washington to the Oregon
shore. It will be double tracked, with
a roadwav on toD for teams, and will be
erected upon pneumatic piers. The piv
otal nier. or draw trier, will support a
draw which will give an opening ofysOO
feet space on either side for vesra to
pass, and the span immediately 'buth of
the draw span will be 375 f eet. The
whole structure is to be of steel, built
ten feet above the high waiter of 1876
and forty feet above low "ater.
On account of the sarJy formation it
will be necessary to godown eighty feet
below low water tcvget a firm founda
tion. There it res&s on a foundation of
coarse gravel Trimilar to that upon which
the great bridges across the Missouri
river are built. This gigantic structure
will cost over $1,000,000, and employ
hundreds of men in its erection. It will
be Jan. 1, 1892, before the cars can pass
over it. The company is pushing its
bridge and also its road as fast as men
and money and its present perfected
clans will permit. It has now between
here and TToJamn. over 2,000 men and
1,500 teams at work. Columbian.

Just an Ordinary Woodchuck Log.
"When 1 was a boy my father had a
fine field of clover., and he discovered
that woodchucks were making sad havoc
with it. On the field was a log, and
near the log the destruction was the
greatest. My father told me I must kill
those woodchucks. I went to the field a
number of times, but could not get a
shot at them. I came to the conclusion
that I must use a little strategy; go one
morning I went to the field before light.
With my gun both barrels loaded with
a heavy charge of BB shot, I got in a
position where I could take a range of
the log lengthwise.
As it began to grow light the wood
chucks began to gather for their morn
irg frolic. They mounted the log, sat
up and looked arocnd to see there
was nothing to disturb them. When I
thought the log was nearly covered with
them I pulled both barrels at once. The
gun kicked me over. When I got up
there were no woodchucks to be seen. I
-vent to the log and picked up fourteen
dead woodchucks, and it wasn't any
great log for woodchucks, either. Bos

Anglophobia In Erases.
It would be a pretty question whether
the English or the Germans are the more
heartily detested in Paris. It is certain
that the rancors of Waterloo have not
been softened by the humiliations of Se
dan. The fact is that your Frenchman
has an unlimited capacity of hatred.
A newspaper has been started which is
called The Union Franco-Busse, and the
main object is to rake up stale fictions
and to invent new libels on the English
people. In curious contrast to the vul
gar dislike is the undisguised admiration
of English people and English customs
which runs through the smart circles of
Parisian society. They imitate the cut
of our coats and reproduce the latest
thing in London hats; they buy English
horses and English guns; they talk En-
elish slang. They always did admire
English girls, but that was inevitable.
It is a higher compliment when they
copy English dandies. St, James' Ga-
wtte.
A Tramp with Si, 400.
The worshipers at St. Bonifacius' Bo
man Catholic church, on Norris square,
were excited on Saturday evening by the
discovery of a sleeping man in the organ
loft. He was put out, but shortly after
ward returned, when he was arrested.
On being searchod at the station house
$1,000 in English gold was found about
hia person. When he was asked where
he got the monev he pulled out $400
more in Bank of England notes, and told
the following story:
"I lived on a farm in England. My
mother dying a short time ago I sold
the farm and came over here one week
ago. On Friday night I slept at a
fifteen-cent lodging house at .Ninth and
Race streets with the money on my per
son. I don't 6ee why you think it strange
that I have so much money.
The man had the look of a typical

Tall Story from Clarion.
Near Baine's flour mill stands a hem
lock tree, which is probably 100 feet
high, at the butt is all of six feet in cir
cumference and is minus of limbs at
least ten feet up its jagged trunk. On
the extreme top of the tree a wild grape
vine blossomed and bore fruit this sea
son, and a number of the young lads
have climbed the tree at various times
to secure the fruit. Dr. E. M. Sloan's
little daughter, 7 years old, was missed
from home the other day, and her mother
discovered her standing on one of the
topmost limbs of the old hemlock, gath
ering grapes. Tho child came down as
nimbly as a squirrel. It was a daring
feat. Clarion Republican.

Her Regard for Propriety.
A gentleman on a 'cycling tour staid
night at a prim old lady's cottage, the
inns being full. He was very deaf, and
took care to impress the fact on his host
ess, with instructions that some one
must enter his room to wake him at a
particular time in the morning. Wak
ing of himself some time later he found
that the old lady, with creditable regard
for propriety, had slipped under his door
a note inscribed:
"Sir, it is half-past 7!" London Tit

M. C Sullivan suggests in The Elec
trical Engineer that a very wise and sim
ple precaution will be the supplying to
each car " operated ' by electricity of a
pair of rubber gloves, insulated pliers
and nippers, and suitable inscriptions to
indicate their use. These may possibly
be the means of preventing delay and
inconvenience, and of obviating serious
results in case of accidents.
Yachtsmen Threatened by a Waterspout.
During the severe storm which pre
vailed here and over the Sound Oct. 19 a
huge waterspout was seen off Charles
Island. A party of New Haven yachts
men were close to it in a napntna
launch, and for a time were in danger of
being swamped. The waterspout came
from a southerly direction. It drew up
the water of the Sound and created addi
tional disturbance to the turbulent sea.
It finally broke between Charles Island
and Burns Point by the wind changing
to northwest. It would have been de
structive to any boat which came in its
path. Cor. New Haven Register.

' The greatest measure of variability in
the matter of lopped ears is ta be found
' among dogs. Spaniels, setters, pointers,
bloodhounds, beagles and foxhounds all
have long, pendulous ears; bulldogs, ter
riers, collies and greyhounds droop only
the tips of their ears; the spitz has erect
ears, while maaHffa and many other
breeds have short, pendulous or semi
pendulous ears.
- The elephant probably came of an an
cestral stock that had erect ears, but for
- ages past there has been no creature
powerful enough to cause it alarm, and
for want of exercise the muscles which
. move the ear have lost tone and wasted
away, leaving the ear to lop or hang
pendulous. -
