A shep herd dog without sheep feels that his occupation is gone, especially if he has been trained to herd ft flock. Not long ago the people of a small village were in great distress. Not a child oould be found. After a long search there was a great outcry. All the small children of the village were found in a deserted yard watched over by a shepherd dog. Not having any sheep he had followed his instinct by collecting all the chil dren of the place into one fold. It is always a bad sign as to one's real character when the more you know of him the less you think of him. The fact shows that he seemed to have exceloncos which disappear on a more intimate acquaintance, and has faults and defects that did not appear upon a limited and partial acquaintance. One regrets in this way to change and re call a gopd opinion which he had of anotbur. Independent -Affectation naturally 'counterfeits those exceloncos which are placed at the greatest distance from possibility of attainment, because, knowing our own defects, we eagerly" endeavor to jupply them with artificial exooleuoe ((pi)) ESSAY BY A KING. A rretty nit of Sentiment by the King el Norway and Sw.U.n. One autumn morning, as the sun had just lifted its golden orb above the horizon, without, however, its rays having as yet warmed the cold air, I behold standing by the roadside some birch trees, already covered with yel low leaves. Their day was drawing to a close, their life of bloom, though brief, had been a lovely one; a life passed in the glorious nature of the North. When the rays of the vernal sun had melted snow and ice, when unchained rivulets prattled pleasantly, and the lark struck its notes in the azure sky, ten der buds had come forth from the cold branches and twigs, the buds" became leaves; they throve in the balmy spring breeze. The young trees clad them selves in the green color of hope. So long as summer, the golden-tressed goddess, ruled in the North, they en joyed theirown blooming loveliness. In innocence and simplicity they caressed each other, and offered a delicious shade to the wanderer fatigued by the fierce bun. Now, when the summer the too brief one in the North has fled, behold! with what humility they bear their fate and shed the treasures of their crown. In their decadence, in their misfortune, they 6tand yonder as if none the less admiring the silent rooming hour. They seem as if speak ing to the traveler, who hastens by V) his daily calling after h's Sunday rest And they awaken in him wonder, and call forth thoughts tha are less of this world. Brother! Man has also his spring, his summer and his autumn. Spring is his youth, summer his manhood and autumn his old age. But in the hey day of man's springtide there may be autumn; in his autumntide a gleam of dawning spring. Sorrow may change morn into eve, spring into autumn. The tree of life struck by the storm raises itself again with difficulty, or re quires, at all events, time to do so. It might, indeed, be an impossibility but for Samaritans ready to give a helping hand. Even the solitary desert palm may be ehaken by the sirocco till it falls, be it ever so tall and strong. But in the depth of autumn there may, God be praised! also be spring. Behold the charming birch tree in the grove yonder! They are going to rest through the long winter night, con tented with their summer life, for they hope that when winter has exhausted its fury, a still more balmy, and a still more glorious sun, and a more enchant ing song than the howling autumn storms shall summon them to a new life, to fresh joys! And such is their ex istence, an unbroken chain of births and deaths. And weP We, who are often ungrate ful when the world goes against us we, who grumble and rebel against the wise dictates of Providence and in self-conceit wish to build up a world ourselves,' which we imagine would be a better oue what ought we to remember? Is not the promise sown in our hearts of resurrection and spring, after the autumn of life and the grave of winter! Is it not surer and more blessed than that of any creature in the realm of nature? Have we not been eudowed with the gift of living in sympathy here below and of walking together along the rood of life in love and friendship? And is not this gift a greater treasure than all those which the man of pleasure deems priceless? Why do we, then, despair P The spring following upon our winter's grave will not depart from us, for it is eternal. Far more glorious is it than any earthly spring. The sun is God, and we are angels therein. .Should we believe that friendship formed here below shall also follow us thither? Why should we not believe that it shall become even stronger than hereP Ay, friendship, which has united mankind throughout all ages, in which they have lived, labored and struggled to reach the same goal, al though by different roads that friend ship will certainly remain with us when the heaven is reached, and it shall, on a brighter'spring morn, and to a more glorious spring chant, follow us into the Eternal Spring, and be the most cherished and joyful recollection of bur past life on earth of a chilly autumn tide! Oscar Fredrik, in Nineteenth Century. ' .. , t:Z A Cheery View of Life. Our estimates of "good" and "bad" are largely influenced by our personal feelings, and by the effect on our indi vidual Comfort of that on which we pass judgment. When the farmersjare longing iur itiu spring winds and rains, to do tlvelr work of preparing far a fruitful season, persons in the city" are likely to speak of an appropriate March or April day as "very bad weather," or as a "wretched day," in a tone that would indicate the thought. "If I had the weather in charge, thero should be neither wind nor rain from year's end to year's end." An author is pretty sure to count praise of his book as "a good review," and censure or criticism of it as "a bad review." The man who is spoken of as "a very disagreeable man" is ordinarily a man who is known not to deem the speaker as an agreeable man. And so all the way along in life. It rarely occurs to us that what we dislike may be the best thing in the world" for the world. Yet the truth is, that there is nothing for which we have more reason to be grateful than the fact that things are not just as we would like to have them S. S. Times. .. .: .. - SENATOR VEST'S IOKE. How the MlMoorl Statemn Came to Emigrate from Kentucky. While Polk Laffoon was waiting for his train last evening he entertained a party of friends in the rotunda at Al exander's Hotel by relating several hits of unwritten history about some of the big guns as Washington. One story In particular will be of interest to the admirers of Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri. It illustrates .how trifling things turn, at times, the" whole course of a man's life. Mr. Laffoon said the story was told to him by Mr. Vest him self. "Vest was raised in Owensboro," said Mr. Caffoon, "and when he was a young man' he was far from being an angel. In fact he was very much of a ake. and ardently addicted to both cards and whisky. About the time Vest was indulging his taste for the paste-hot rds most unrestrainedly, one of those spasmodic moral waves struck Pwetibboro, and all the gamblers and gambling, places, then enjoying a heydey of prosperity, were ban ished. The boys were hard up for a place to satisfy their thirst for poker, And they looked about for some place to play, without running the risk of Jxii seized by the dreaded hand of te law. An old fellow, who had Borne sort of nondescript craft anchored at the wharf, came to their relief, and the boys were in the habit of playing in the cabin of -his boat every night As happens everywhere where cards are played, there lived in Owensboro a shark. Ho played close and generally 'won, letting no chance escape him. Every time ho got about $25 or $30 winner he would suddenly remember that his wife was sick and had sent him for medicine, or would have some other excuse for quitting. One night Vest and a friend, both of whom wore broke and about half full of corn-juice, sauntered down toward the boat where their sheckles had disappeared into the old shark's pocket They saw from the light aboard that a game was in progress, and they know the old shark was playing. Vest and his com panion both 'blessed' the squeezer in the unstinted manner their condition would suggest, and finally Vest said: 'I'll fix him.' Taking out his knife he severed the cable which held the boat to the shore. Out into the river the craft drifted. When it hod gone about five miles down 'Old Shark1 mode his usual excuse and rose to go. Out of the lighted room into the darkness he went He made a stop whore he thought the gang plank was, but it was, of course, not in its place, and with a yell he went down into the river. The others heard his cry, and by means of ropes rescued him. The game had been so absorbing that no one had noticed the motion of the bout after its release from the wharf. When the shark reached shore, wet and mad, he secured a buggy and drove back to Owensboro. 'It was that follow Vest that did this,' said he, 'and I'm going to kill him.' He secured a double-barreled shotgun and started to looft for Vest. The old shark was a dangerous man, and Vest being warned by his friends, concluded he had nothing to tie him to Oweusboro, so he left at once. He went to Missouri, where he had a cousin who Yvas clerk of one of the local courts. Vest went into his office, there began to study law, and later commenced to practice. He be came a leader in politics, was elected to oue office after another, and to-day is one of the ablest men ever in the United States Senate. If ho had stayed in Owensboro he would probably have gone on in the old rut and never amounted to a hill of beans. By the way, Senator Vest never drinks now." FACTS ABOUT SALT. Man Iiiteriwtlnit 1'olnU for Meeker After Unliable Information. Thero are many interesting facts connected with salt which it is well sometimes to remember. To begin with the name itself, a curious fact is to be noted. Salt was formerly re garded as a compound rosultlng from the union of hydrochloric (or, as it 1 i - 1 , , J I A 1 ii X used vo ne caueu, munuuej ociu aim eoda, and hence the generic term of salt was applied to all substances pro duced by the combination of a base with an acid. Sir Humphrey Davy, however, showed that during their ac tion on each other both the acid and the alkali underwent decomposition, and that while water is formed by the union of the oxygen of the alkali and the hydrogen of the acid, the sodium of the fomor combines with the chlo rine of the latter to form a chloride of sodium, and this term is the scientific designation of salt which, paradoxical as it may seem, is not a salt Chloride of sodium must be considered economic ally under two heads, relating respect ively to sea or bay salt and to rock or mineral salt The one is probably de rived from the other, most rock-salt deposits bearing evidence of having been formed at. remote geological pe riods .by evaporation from the sea. At one time dearly the whole of the salt used as food and for industrial pur poses wftyte'tained from the sea, and in many countries where the climate is dry and warm, and which have a con venient seaboard, a great quantity of onlf a oill an riinaA Tit TVi-irrol more than two hundred and fifty thou sand tons are annually produced, and the same quantity approximately -is obtained an the Atlantic and Mediter ranean coasts' of France.'

Unlike the present Postmaster-General, the old Pennsyl vanlan was not bothered to appoint assistants, and as for clerks, he did not have any. At odd times, and when he was feeling lonesome because some of the neighbors did not come in to bore him to appoint John Smith post master at Juniperville, Franklin would go down to the city post-office and as sists to make up the mail, which left by Btage coach every weuk. In a glass case in the Post-pfnce Department the curiosity sooker can see the old leath ern bound book In which Franklin kept the accounts of the Government The transactions for t'kree years from 1776 to 1778, Inclusive are included in Its fifty-three pagfc's',' and the mail trans actions seem to have cut but an in significant figure.' You can also see the record ol the uncalled for or mis directed letters that were returned for the eleven years from 1777 to 1788. The book covers forty-four pages, and during that time. S65 letters were re ceived. The number of letters re turned to the Dead Letter Office daily now averages 18,000.
