Newspaper Page TextThe Tragedy at Dodd's Place. He came into the store -with a face full of misery and sat down npon a box be side the stoye and began to cry. It w3 a queer thing for a man like that to do a groat, rough laborer, fifty years of age or more. Some dreadful trouble must have come upon him to make him show his sorrow in that way without dis guise. The strangers staredjsympathet ically. After awhile the proprietor of the store went up to him and said : well, neignbor, you seem to be m trouble; can we help you any?" The man did not look up; he shook his head and said: iso, no nos it a very kind of you, out noDouy can neip me. 1 suppose you mint l m an old tool; but she was all the family I had, and she's dead;' and a great tear splashed down upon the noor. "ouesaeau. xoucan t do me any good now; but if you'd come around to my little shanty thereabout nine o'clock last night you might have done some good I dunno. When a man is deter mined to make a brute of himself he'l do it, perhaps; but if there'd been some one there to say, ' Dodd, what on airth are you about.' why, mebbe I dunno tho 1 was mad. When a man's ma and has a glass to much, what's the use of talking to him? It's fixed things for me. Anyway Lord, forgive me! she's dead. The tears splashed down again, but the people looked at him with faces that had lost a little of their sympathy. "You didn't didn't do anything to bring it on whatever it was?" said an old lady with a large basket on her arm. I shouldn t have thought it of you "lesjx did l did, sobbed the man " If it hadn't been for me it never would have happened. I loved her, too Yes, I did love her. Nobody could say she'd ever had a hard word from me be fore in all the days we'd lived together; but last night I'd had a glass to much, and I stopped at the butcher's down in the village and bought a bit of steak a man wants a change from pork once in the way and she was fond of steak, she was; and I jest fetched it in and said to her, ' We'll have a supper to-night, eh?' and she sort of nodded and winked at me jest as jolly, and then I went out to the well to draw water, and as a body does sometimes when anybody is in a hurry, I lost the bucket off, and I was a terrible time in finding it, and when I went in well, you see, I went in with an appetite and there she sat, and well.I ain't dainty, but I couldn't have touched that steak to save me; and I got mad. Well, I got madder than I ever was before, and I iust arnnnd n1 gave her a kick. Yes, I did. If I was to be hung for it to-morrow, I'd have to own up. I kicked her." "You brute!" said the woman with the basket; "kicked her because your steak didn't suit you! Well may you cry." "Yes'm," said the man. "You can't peak harder to me than I feel to my self. I kicked her in the side, and what is more, I opened the door and kicked her out of it, and then I jest sat down alongside my fire and talked the worst kind to myself I did indeed. Lord, forgive me! and I said I'd never let her in again. Yes'm you can look as you like at me; I deserve it; and then I went to bed." "Went to bed and left her out in the cold?" said the old lady. " Never see ing whether she was dead or not." "Yes, I did," said the poor man, sob bing hard, "and more than that, I went to sleep. I slept sound, too; and what do you suppose waked me? Why, her voice I knew it from a thousand. It cwas the awfulest shriek, and then an other, and another, and it came all over me what I had done. I turned her that had slept alongside of me winter nights more years than I can remember out in to the cold night. I'd kicked her out. Oh, I was sober then I tell you. I saw what a brute I was to do such a thing like that, all for a bit of paltry steak, and I got up and went to tho door and I called, but she didn't come. I called again, and then I heard her scream, but fainter and further off; and then I felt a kind of horror coming over me, and I dressed myself and took my lan tern and went out. I walked this way and that, I looked and called, I swung the lantern low and high. There wasn't a sign of her, and at last I got down to I Bolter's pond, there by the edge of the woods, you know, and I heard a kind of growling; and past me, all in a hur ry, as they go when they've been do ing mischief flew those dogs of Bol ter'sfierce devils! but they knew enough to be afraid of me then. " And when I saw them my heart stood still, and I swung the lantern low again, and I saw her. She lay along side the pond, and her gray hairs were dabbled in blood, and tho marks of the dog's teeth were on her neck; and I jest took her up in my arms and hurried along the road home and brought her to the fire, and I cried over her and called her all the pet names I used to call her when I first had her a little young thing; but it wasn't any use she was jest as stiff and cold, and I laid her down on the bed, and there she's laid ever since. Oh! it's dreadful!" "Yes, and you deserve to be hung," said the old lady; "but now suppose she isn't dead, and maybe she isn't. Let us go over with you, and stop and fetch the doctor. Folks have been bfrought to that seemed dead. Away, it's all right." "Well, I'll do it" said the man, "but it's no use, I know. " The proprietor of the store called his wife to wait on it, and he headed a pro cession of his customers, and they all went down to Dodd's cabin, calling on the doctor as they passed his house, an 1 taking him with them. But when they came to the lonely little house no one cared to be the first to go in, but at last the doctor, as being best used to such things, opened the door and stepped in. It was a mean little room, and fur nished only with a table, two chairs, some shelves, and a bed, and an old gray cat washing her face. As soon as Dodd's eye rested on this animal he uttered a cry of joy and flew to her side; but she at once sat up her back and uttered a loud "Mee-ow," while her tail swelled to immense pro portions. " Oh, I don't mind. I don't mind," said Dodd, " I deserve you should be mad at me anything, anything, so as your'e alive. She's come to life again. Glory, glory, glory!" "Why, you don't me in to say you were talking about a cat all the while?" screamed the woman with the basket. "You said she didn't cook your meat properly, and " "No'm," said Dodd. "I meant to s iy she ate most of it up for me, and chawed what she didn't eat; but she's welcome. So that she's alive, I don't o care, 'l hough she s weaned from me; I see that. Our happy times are over: she doubts me." " Called me in to a cat, indeed!" said the doctor. " Left my business for a cat!" cried he storekeeper. " Oh, what an old fool!" said the wo man. Miaw!" yelled the attendant train of boys; but old Dodd never looked at them. He listened to none of their insults, and they left him doing his best, with tears in his eyes, to get that offended cat up to take a little milk from a saucer that he held before her lips, and saying; " Oh. make up Pussey. your own Dodd will never do it any more."

Typo. Toning Down our Xiives. Is there a word in all the dictionary more full of meaning than the word "harmony?" In this world we hardly know its full meaning. At an artist's reception one day I saw a picture of a mountain sun rise, and I wondered at its marvelous depths, richness, and splendor of shade and color, till the artist told me how he had toned down tho picture and soften ed its color into its subdued harmony of tint; and I thought how often ou life was growing to be like that picture of a mountain sunrise. God's unseen hand is before the easel, aketching here and shading there. The life-picture looks to us unfinished, fragmentary, and imperfect now, but each new joy light, each sorrow-shade is toning it down through all its gloom and glory into harmony with God's great ideal. He will frame it at last in such a setting of events as He chooses, and we shall find in that great gallery above, that the light has been in the right place, and the shadow too. We might never see the beautiful sunrise gilding the hills of our eternal future, were it not for . the crooked winding path and misty streaks along the valley of tears up through which we have climbed, as hue after hue more brightly gleamed through the very dusky ground of sorrow. Our life's picture looks often too dark, its troubles too glaring, its griefs too sharp and rough ; we fear it will never be finished right, but behind all is a master-hand touching it cunningly, and toning it down into celestial harmony. Each soul left fully in the hands of the Divine Artist will open into everlasting unfolding gloiy. Gentle Words. There is a magic power in gentle words, the potency of which few natures are so icy as wholly to resist. Would you have your home a cheerful, hallowed spot, within which may be found that peace and happiness and joy which the world denieth to its votaries ! Let no harsh words be uttered within its walls. Speak gently to the wearied husband, who, with anxious brow, returns from the perplexities of his daily avocations; and let him, in his turn speak gently to the care-worn woman and wife, who, amid her never-ending round of little duties, find rest and encouragement in the sympathy of him she loves. Speak gently to the wayward child; and a pleasant smile and a word will often re store good humor and playfullness. Speak gently to the dependent who lightens your daily toil; kind words insure respect, while the angry re buke provokes impertinence and dis like. Speak gently to the aged; many are the trials through which they have passed, and now in a little while they will be missed from their accustomed places; the spirit will have passed to its rest. The remembrance of an unkind word will then bring with it a bitter sting. Speak gently to the erring one; are we not all weak and liable to err? Temptations, of which we cannot judge, may nave surrounded him. Harshness will drive him on the sinful way; gentlness may win him back to virtue. Spirit of the Age. An. Englishman crossed the channel to France, and was exceeding;! v dis turbed by the fact that he couldn't un derstand a word of the French Ian- guage. He was met at the depot by a Frenchman, and the driver of the cab talked to him in French. When he got to the hotel he found nothing but the French language there, and a man with the French language took him to his couch at night, and he was almost ex hausted because of his incapacity to understand anything that was said to him, and in sad mind he went to 6leep. In the morning he woke up, and heard the chanticleer crow, and he said, "Thank goodness, there's some Eng lish at last." A Hot-Weatheb Beverage Two pounds white sugar, whites of two eggss two ounces tartaric acid, two table spoons of flour, two quarts water; boil two or three minutes and flavor to taste. When wanted for use, take a half tea spoon soda, dissolve in half glass of wa terof the acid, and it will foam to the top of the glass. Education polishes good natures, and corrects bad ones. ' Summer Separation June is the month of love, joy, and August that of its agony, in J une two hearts knit together and become one. In August two bodies separate. ue goes away to see her mother's aunt in the country, and he stays at home, work ing the treadmill of duty. This comes hard on all men, but its weight is the heaviest on the grocery clerk. His heart is not in his work. How can it be? Where the treasure is there will the heart be also, and the treasure is far away. He cannot smile on the custom er, lie cannot counterfeit successfully that expression of all-absorbing interest which makes clerkship a thing of beau ty. Certainly his is a most critical task. The variety and diversity of the articles in which he deals require that he should keep his wits about him. In this par ticular he is in almost as much danger as the drug clerk, while the opportum ties for slipping are a hundred fold. A Danbury man, who went into a drug store to "have a prescription prepared, seeing nobody but the clerk present, said: "Young man, are you keeping com' pany with a girl?" "Yes sir," answered the clerk, with a blush. " Do you think the world of her?" " I do," said the clerk, firmly, al though blushing considerably. " Is she in town?" pursued tho cus tomer anxiously. " No, sir; she is away on a visit." " That will do," said the man, decis ively. "You can't fool around any pre scription for me." And he went away But it is the grocery clerk who has to struggle from early morn till late at night with a flood of annoyances. When he dips into the sugar barrel he thinks of her lips and sighs. In cutting the cheese he is reminded of the strength of his devotion to her, and when he looks into the butter firkin his thoughts stray to her hair. WThen he would eo away by himself and crive expression to his emotions he is obliged to help lift a barrel of corned beef, or roll a cask of salt or open a cask of lard It is only when he is dealinc: out mack erel that he feels as if he had a compan ion in uis sorrow, a sympatnizer in grief. There is that softene'd, subdued light in the eye of a salt mackerel which touches a responsive chord in the heart of suf feringand awakens it to plantive melody. How tenderly he lifts it from the kit, how lovingly he lingers in wrapping it up. Poor fellow! He may put up washing starch for baking powder, draw molasses in the kerosene can, and even attempt to palm off various things for tea. He may do this. It is more than likely he will. But the expression of a mackerel's eye will not change. The soft, subdued light of sympathy still remains. Danbury 2feics. The European Plan. Y'esterday evening a stranger, clad in a duster and carrying a carpet-sack, entered a hotel on Delaware avenue. He marched straight up to the counter, where the amiable landlord stood picking his teeth, and the moment he set his bag down the amiable landlord whisked it off and set it down with the pile of other baggage in the rear of the bar. "Please register your name," said tho landlord, passing him a pen. " How much is it, mister?" "That depends on what We keep hotel hero on the plan." you get. European " I say mister," said the countryman, all in a tremble, "please give me that bag, and I'll get right out and not say a word." The landlord glared at him, "but made no movement towards the bag. " Pleabe, mister, give me my bag. There is nothing in it but a few shirts, indeed there isn't. Here's the key. I'll let you search it," continued the stranger, trembling still more violently. The landlord passed him the bag, and as tho stranger instantly shot for the door the former exclaimed: "Well, blame mo if I ain't puzzled to know what kind of a fool you are." But the stranger paused to hear no compliments, and he was a good half mile away before he took courage to lean up against an awning-post and mutter: " Gracious! what an escape. Keep a hotel on the you rope in plan, does he? I suppose he wanted to rope me in aud perhaps kill me. Lord! what wick ed places these cities are. I'll go home immediately." And he kept his word. New Yvrk Star. A Remarkable Dog. A Milwaukee paper relates the following: Mr. Nelson Strong, living on First avenue, between Orchard and Mitchell streets, has a black-and-tan dog that is just now en gaged in a domestic enterprise worthy of record. The dog is a female, and a number of months ago gave birth to a lit ter of pups that were reared and weaned by her. A short time ago Mr. Strong brought home a pup and placed it with his dog. She took to tho strange pup kindly and allowed it to nurse. Her full flow of milk was brought back, and suddenly she was missed from home. Search was made and the dog was found in a neighboring alley with a large lit ter of kittens upon a large sheet of brown paper and kept them on it, apparently for safety. Near by was the dead body of the mother of the kittens, probably killed by some dog, who has always manifested great hatred for cats. The dog, with the kittens, was removed to Mr. Strong's residence, and they are now there to be the wondered at by visitors who go in to see themselves the strange sight of a black-and-tan dog nursing a litter of rapid-growing felines. The case attracts a great deal of interest here, and will be something for the cu rious to wonder at. She Met Her Match. Some time since, on one of the Hudson river boats, a lady who had attracted much attention for the masculine turn of her manners and conversation, was seated at the table opposite a gen tlenan, who, in taking some butter, in the absence of the usual knife, used his own, which the lady ob serving, she called aloud to the waiter: "Wait-ta!" bring anotherplate of but ter; that man (pointing to the gentle man) had his knife in this!" The unfortunate wight almost sank under the curious gaze of the company, but said nothing, determined to watch his opportunity to return, for the cruel mortification, change in her own coin. He waited a moment ere a plate of dried beef was handed to the lady, who uncer emoniously took some in her fingers and placed it upon her plate. "Wait-ta!"' exclaimed the gentleman in turn, "bring another plate of beef; that woman has had her fingers in this!" A most ungallant roar from all the company fairly turned the tables against the lady, and she had the good sense to acknowledge its desert, and join heartily in the mirth it created.

Tho Result of Persistent Enterprise, The management of tho San Francis- co Chroxicxe has long been diutinguished be yond that of any other journal published on the Pacific Coast it may even be said by a na tional comparison for its irrenreasiblo enter prise and unstinted liberality. No efforts or cx pense have been Bpared to advance the power mm popuianry oi me uiihonicle, until it lias attained to a foremost position in the van of American journalism, and is now regarded with pride by unprejudiced contemporaries as the representative newspaper of California.

A 1 .1. - , i - o w caicuu me circulation oi THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE A journal of unsurpassed merit iu every feature of a family newspapc r the proprietors seem to have overstepped their accustomed liberality in an astonishing: desrree. Such advantacfioim in. ducements for the efforts of amateur canvassers were probably never offered before by the man agers of any journalistic enterprise iu the United States; and, in fact, there is hardly any other agency extant that can afford a bona tide ucireuiafjo ox iuii nny per cent, ou the casli basis. The proprietors of tho C.a recently inaugurated a distribution of prizes for the remuneration of persons getting up clubs, on a scale which affords an average compensa tion of $1 for each subscriber obtained at S2.50 lor one year s subscription to the paper. Sub scribers from the number of three up to three hundred are accounted clubs, and prizes are awarded correspondingly. The list embraces several hundred AB.TICLES OF UTILITY AND OBNAMENT, Selected from every available department of trade, with critical regard to the pleasure and gratification of aspirants; and as a complete guarantee that the various prizes entirely fill the value they represent, the canvasser for a club has the option of commuting by drawing the stated value of a prize in gold coin. As an example, any rarson of energy who finds it practicable to obtain a club of 300 in his local ity, may draw an elegant square or an upright cottage piano, or a finely finished buggy, if so Preferred, either of which premium is valued at 5375 ; or he can receive that amount in gold coin instead. Then for efforts on a smaller ra tio, there are such desirable prizes as gold watches of the first make, libraries of st indard works, farm wagons, gang plows and other im proved agricultural implements which would prove A BOON TO AXY FABJIEB ; Sewing machines, rifles, tea sets, mantle clocks, suburb saddles, the complete works of popular author, and other articles almost innumerable, adaj tod to tho requirements of both sexes and all ages. Even the sender of a club of thieo or six has something handsome to select from our extended list, embracing such choice prizes as plated ware, guitars and other musical instruments, gold pen and holders, cabinet photograph albums, meerschaum pipes, works of popular authors, etc. Aside from the prize list, the scheme now offered by tho Chron icle proprietors sc-ems to afford an opportunity for energetic persons to make capital wages, and for the partially employed to increase their incomes materially. At all events, the prize distribution lias created A DECIDED 1TBOBE In all parts of the State, and young and old are examining tho extended list, making their se lections of desired articles, and canvassing for tho requisite number of subscribers to secure the cove ted prize. Many have already succeeded in their first efforts, and we 6ee that the proprie tors of the Chboxicle are in receipt of letters from delighted recipients of prizes in various quarters, expressing their gratification in the liberal remuneration. Let all who desire to procure something handsome in compensation of their spare time, obtain a copy of the Chron icle prize list and note the liberal terms. It is an enterprise that any person can conscien tiously adopt, for without regard to the prize scheme, full value is returned for the money transmitted to tho publishers in a vear's sub scription to the cheapest and beyond all com parison the best family newspaper ever estab lished on the Pacific Coast. From Hon, IV. It. Jonrn, or U -l luvrr, Vermont. " I have been troubled from my boy hood with chronic or hereditary lungcom plaint. Some years since, early in the winter, I took cold, which as usual settled into a severe cough, which continued to increase as the season advanced, al though I made use of all the cough remedies I had knowledge of. My family physician also prescribed for me, but I experienced no relief. During all this time I was'gradnally running down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as well as myself became very much alarmed, thinking I should waste away in consumption. While iu Boston, during the Spring following, I was induced to try Wistab's Balsam of Wild Cherry. After one day's trial I was sensible that it was relieving me; in ten days time my cough had entirely ceased, and I was 6oon res tored to health and strength. I have ever since kept the Balsam: in my house, and whenever any member of my family has a cough or cold, it is immediately resorted to. No family should be without it. Sold by all druggists.
