la one of the well-known facts of canine
history, aiid many stories are told of
the manner in which they distinguish
sheep by the different marks. 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

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

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

more than two hundred and fifty thou
sand tons are annually produced, and
the same quantity approximately -is
obtained an the Atlantic and Mediter

onies in 17tSfx went down to the office
in Philadelphia, hung his coat on a
peg behind tei.only door of the one
room which, constituted the depart
ment, and wentwork.t He procured
a small book of fifty-three pages, in
which he opened an account with each
postmaster for the forty odd post
offices in the thirteen colonies, and
kept it himself. 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

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. Washington
