' How Castle Found UncTe Paul. ; irojtelTartwlckThorpe.l . 1 "Mease, sir, are voa my Uncle Paul?'' A big, broad-shouldered man, in a warm : overcoat and fur cap, with a general air of ! importance about him, and a stern, forbidi din g countenance, came harrying down the ! street when a child's voice aostod him, and an eager, expectant face was lifted up, with parted lips, waiting his reply. (Jet out of my way I" be ezclaimei savagely, thrusting the chili aside frith hü eaxe, and bestowing upon her a glance of indignation' at her presumption in daridg to acdms him eo familiarly. "The idea of the little beggar asking such a question ofmel" He bad a mustache, anyhow, and and it was black too," laid the child catching her breath in a quick, frightened way. She , tjlarced after the "man with the mustache'' yAearfully, with the hopeful gladness gone Tut ef her little face. "Never mind, Caseie," she aaid encourairgly, addressing herself an odd habit she had formed from having no other playmates. Once when her mother askei her way she talked to herself in that way she replied. Ob, 'it seems as if I had a littfo sitter a- play in g with me, an' I ain't so lonesome when 1 call my( elf Caseie." 'Never mind, Cseie," the sail hopafallv, aa the gruff man passed out of sight. 44 Ue w ain't Uncle Paul, if he did have a ranlache, 'cause Uncle Paul wouldn't be so crocs to mamma's little girl.

Ho v s'priaed and happy poor, tick mamna weuld be it we should find him, wouldn't she, C&isie?" Presently two or three foppishly dressed young men ctmedown the street They were less of wealthy parents, and had nothing with which to cecupy their time, bit to spend tbe money given them for tht purpete.

We'll bo glad to assist any needy relations cf yours," they said merr.iy, ßnd throo fcilver ball dollars were placed ia Cassia's little blue tarda. 'Efl wasn't your Uncla PaiI aft;r all, Cissie,-' she said pitifully, while two or three great rcucd tears slid eilently over the pIe thin clwksanddrcopedon tlie eilver hilf dollar. "I thought he might be uncle Paul, but his mcuet&che was such a teeny oae I gut 6s Uncle Paul's is bigger." It was a long time beiore Cassia dared venture to acccet a '-gentleman with a musUcte'' again, for her several repu'ses had weakened her faith in the ''mustache." At latt she spied two gentlemen walking JeifureJy down tbe sirect. Theene had a lerg, dark heard, the ctfcer a black moustache. 'Trat's hirn, Casfie. I do believe that it U crele Paul," he said as sbo leaned forward. A rxcrxett later a shy little voice said fa'.ntlou are my uncle Paul, aint yoa?"

The gentleman was deeply, interested n conversation wth his companion, and d d rot care to be annoyed. He thought tie child was asking alms, and without heeling ter inquiry was about dropping a nkkle info her hand, when his com pan io asked in a kindly voice: "Vhat doea the little one wait?" . "Ob. money, of course, they all do, said the ether, "but I must say that this one 1 oks as though ahe needed it." Castle's many disappointment had been too much for bur and she was sobbing aa though her heart would b'eak. Drawing the little one close to him tbe gentleman with the l-'ng beard asked: ""What do jou want, my dear?" . '1 want my uncle Paul. Mamma is so sick, an' we're dr Me poor, an' mamma said this nrrnicg that she was jost 'scour&ged, with the rent to pay, an' no breakfast, an' sbe praved for God to send us ancle Paul, caue be would help us may be.'' "And you came out to meethino,did you?'' svked the gentleman kindly, aa he bent over to search tho child's fate.' Hia tones had more than a common interest in them as he spoke. No sir, I didn't 'pect God would send him light along, though we helped, 'cause mamma told me once that we must pray for tat wo want most, an' then we must work bard to get iL Mamma can't do anything but pray, 'cause she's sick, an' after' Ehe went to sleep I thought I'd ccme out and find uncle Paui, and a'prise her when she woke." Have you ever seen your Uncle Paul7" 'No, sir. lie was mamma's big brother when the waa a wee little girl like me. He went away then and mamma hasn't seen him since." Then how did you expect to fnd him, dear." He drew both wee blue hands into his own warm palms and caressed them gently as he spoke. "I atked mamma how he looked so that I'd know him when I saw him, an' sbe said he had a mustache, not a red one, but a pretty brown one. She said that he'd surely ccme hack 'cause he promised grandma tha. be would when he went away; but grandmt has been dead a long time, and there's noone left but juet mamma an' I." The strange gentleman bent over and kiseed tho cLild tenderly. Don't wait for me, Mr. Howard," he said to his companion. ''1 will see you again this afternoon. 1 must take this little one home to her mother now.'' Ili9 companion bowel and passed on, wondering what attraction his friend could find in a thin-faced beggar child. 'I am goicg heme with you, dear,' he said, turning occe more to hor. "I want to see your mamma "Will you lead the way?" "Yes, sir; but I haven't found Uncle Paul yt. O, there's a man with a mustache n ajbo that's him." I don't think it is," said tcr companion, c'acping the small hand tightly, as sbe made a move to dart away from him. "Come to rramrxa now, atd then I'll find Uncle Paul fur ycu." "He's gone low, an maybe I can't ever find him again,' she said regretfully, watching tfce corner round which the "mustache" hed just vanished. She then led the stranger to her home, up the long Cmht of stairs, and as they neirel tbe top the sound of a weak voke calling Cassia, Caatie," in tones of dietress reached tbeir ears. "It's mammal" criod Ciis'e, flyinc down the dimly lighted halL "She fas" missed me." "Where havo ycu been, Cassiel'5 asked a feeble voice from the bod. I was looking for Uncle Paul; but" 'Jennie, my little sister!" The tall man with the dark beard csm9 to tho bedside and clasped Cr?s:o's mother in his strong arms. "Paul! O, thank Gad!" sho cried joyful"Are you my Uncle raul?" aeked Cieäie incredulously. 'Yes, dcar,:' he answered. But where is the mustache?" I haven't worn no for years." lie then related to the mother how he cams to fled Cassie, adding: 1 returned to tho city enly a short time a;;o. I had been to the old homestead, and tbero learned of father's and aao'.her's death. 1 also learned that you had married and was living somewhere in this city, but I fail :d to learn the name of your husband,and 1 fear my search for you would have bean ur successful, but for the little voice asking, Are ycu my Uncle Paul?' " Ihat evening in the b&ndsomely furnished rcoms to which Uncle Paul took his dear ones, little Cassie climbed into his lap, and, lajirg a soft cheek against hia bearded one, Ehe said soberly: 'I think Gcd sent you to us becaufo I went out to find you and helped a little."

Hin to iUlv, Stun, Mnd Monat a Bird In i ive Minutes. t rot-tor Stradiiss in Harper's Voting People. J The process whhh I am about to describe biiedy is a rough-and-ready one, to preserve and display to Rdvantae the fall pluaiage cf the bird, and may be practiced by taoe who have net tho titna or the materials or, shall we suggeit, the palicnse? necessary fcr tho mure artistic operation. I have found it very useful in tropical countries to retain a acuvenir of brilliantbued pets that came to an uatimoly enl, in a climato where the bodies went too rapidly to dec&y to permit of skinning prjporly With a view to subsequent silting up. Many bird?, a!so,which are considered too commonplace for regular mounting well repy the email amount of trouble necesaary to dUp'.ay them in this manner. You need not gand shooter trap them for this' purp 3. L?.t your subject bo some pet or other bird that has died a natural death. Again, yoa will find that, unfortunately, tho dealers in live birds have always a number of tbeir noor little bodies to sell for next to nothing or to throw Bv.&y. The apparatus required is simple in tha estremo. A pair oflaly's sharp.pointed sci.'forp, aliitb cottca-w:ol, which may ba jutt flavored with a drop of spirits of :ampber, turpentine, carbolic acid tra light f prinklirg cf pepper to discDurago any possible insects, and a few ordinary pins; nothirg more. And tbe wholo operation may be p erfoimsd, with a liitle practic?, on a srrall bird, in the short space of tim9 mentit ned in the heading of this articlo. Trace tie tail feathers down to thoir root, nnd r the thort feather? of the back. You will Und that the tail works on a hinge or joint, and can he detached clean and oV.ire by a snap of the scissors severing thii joint. A email bit cf bone corn us away

with it. Lay the tail &;ido Carefully dividing the bady feather.", cut tie skin around, commencing in front of the legs below, but sloping a little backward above, and proceed skinning forward, turning it inside out as you go. Very little cutting is necefl?ary. The skin separates readily, only requiring a fibre to bs clippai here and there. When you arrive at tho wing?, peel the ekm off down to the first joint (still turning the whf lo inside out), anl thero nip it through wilh tho scissors, thui leaving the flrfttoiieof tho wing, covered with thick fieish, attached to the body. At the neck a little mere caution and delicacy of traataiont will le caJld for, ts the skia is thin hero tnd may be tern by rough hand ing o'

dragging. Tho windpipe, gullet, and sender bone do not give firm ground to work open either, but shift abtrat aad require to be rubied loose'' from their covering with the Aster and thumb. Peel away until yon have exposed the back of the white glistening skull as far as tbe top of tbe head, or the broadest part, where cut it through. The scissors will divide it like thin card-board. Sojop oat the train, break through the little plates of bone which partition off the eye-balls, and withdraw them from the inside, and cleanse rd cry the cavity of the skull with small piece cf wooL Remove the tongue from the mouth in front, and cram in aome ottonwoel in its place, but not enough to prevent the leak from closing. Now stuff the inside of the head and neck fiimly, brirging back the skin to its proper ptsition by degrees as ym fill it, aid fastentng it with tbe pins. U-e small pinches of weel, and take care that the neck is evenly but not unduly disiend-d. The pouches at the wings will be filled in the same way. when it is completely full, lay it in position on a board and run a pin t a rough at the back of the neck, which will cause tbe he id to stand up and display the breast in a very elegant manner. The wings must now be dfotended, the two or four pins re quired for that purpose not piercing tbem, but eo ir sorted into the board as to prevent their shutting up again. The feathers are p'umed out and straightened another pin or two put in, it need ba, t any part whica seems irr perfectly fixed, and the job is don It will be dry in a few days I have found it tbe least trouble and safest to pin the birds aga nst a wall cr inside a cupboard door, twiEting a cone of paper over each to kaep off the dust. When it is dry and set, the pits are withdrawn, and the edge of the sain is fastened with a little gum to whatever the biid is destined to ad rn, the tail being placed in position behind, with its bony knob concealed under the feathers of the be dy. Thus it gives by no means a bad idea of a bird in fall fight. The different ways in which the birds may be deposed of are of course innumerable. I have seen one sewn on as a crowning decoration to a highly ornamental pin-wiper another placed in a lady's hat, others very prettily arranged in the centre of plates to barg againBt the wall, with scenery painted around them, so that they appeared to be flying amidst palm leaves or over rivers. A jourg friend of mine, being of a mechanical turn, has fixed one to the middle of a wooden disk, which he has get his sister to piint fcr him. A strong wire is inserted securely into the wood, passing through the body and celling out at tho beak. When he has set up t nother in like manner he is going to preeent them to his uncle, to hang one on each side of the chimney piece, supporting a pair of light wire letter racks. If you think of making a similar c outrival, e e I should ad vise you to pass the wire ihn ugh as soon aa the bird is skinned, and (tuff around it, as the compressed wool is very hard to pierce. It would look better, too, to mask the wire issuing from the beak with a berry or twig, and it might be artarged ao as to carry a paper balance, taperstand, pen-rest, or even a can die. Be Courteoaa. The influence of gentle, courteous words upon these unused ev n to words of common cinifort may hi learned from an incident, which also shows that itpajs tobe polite even to a street Arab: One day, in suddenly turning the corner of a street, a young lady ran, with graat force, against a little ragged boy, and almoit km eked him down. Stoppingas soon as sbe could, she turned, and said very kindly to the boy, "I beg your pardon, my little fellow; I am sorry that 1 ran against you." The poor boy was astonished. Ho looked at her for a moment with surprise; and then, taking off&bout three-quarters of a cap, he bowed very low, and aaid, while a broad smile spread itself all over his face, Ycu can hev my parding and welcome, miff; and the next time ycu may run against me, and knock mo clean down, an I won't say a word." After tho lady had passed on, ho turned to h's companion, and J aid, "I say, Jim, it's the first time I ever had any one to ask my rsrdirg, and it kind a' took me off my feet." That poor boy will never forces thoso gentie, leving, peaceful words-

IXew York Tlmes.l Several days ago, ?l the course of an article with the general icope of which I heartily agreed, you r ero led to assert that Gsaeral Zachary Taylor waa bare'y able to write his name. This, be assured, is a great error. The present writer sorved as a subaltern officer, in close daily relatiois with General Taylor at Fort Jeeup, in Louisiana.and Corpus Christi, Texas, immediately preceding tho war with Mexico, as also in the Kio Grande, in the first battles ot that war. My regiment had an excellent library, of which 1 bad change, aid to whica the General h.d t ccees. He lead a good deal substantial bocks covering a considerable range of historical and general literature. He was also an tttentivo reader of such political journals as the National Intelligencer and the Globe, ard no cne of his day was belter acquainted with the early political history of this country. He wrote vigorously and clearly on public questions and affairs, rs was shon in several letters to a 1 insman, which got into tho newspapers during tbe war. Colonel BUf of his staff, was known to ba a master of English style, and those letters wore ascribed to him, it I beard the Colonel say Itat he had bad nothirg at all to do with their composition. Tha fact is General Taylor was one of those men who are always gathering information so long as they live. It teems to me thia figment about his illiteracy, having really no truth in it, should not go uncontradicted any longer. Gentleman Your Hop Bitters have been of great value to me.

A man baa tbe gist of tbe whole matter in Lis heart when he can tell the truth in a, trade and not sand his sugar. Religion is not excitement either in a whole or in part, but a steady pull, & long pull and an honest pull. A man is a pretty bad specimen of what religion can produce if at tha prayer meeting he goes ofl'liko pop bc3r, all froth, andain his business the next day is as Stale &3 ditch water.

They are brought here under fahe promises,and before discovering the lies they havo been told are mada to n arry several women. That done, the Church tells them they havo sinned against the laws of the United States, and that their only safety now lies in keeping their faith with the Mormon clans. They are too ignorant to doubt this ; they are in the coils; in debt, and they have to stay. It a recent census taken of India an eSort has been made to throw some light upon the different religions and their relative proportions of the pec pie Of the entire population of India some 253 tKK),000 the Caristians are only about 2000.000, as against 1S3.030, 000 of Hindoos and over -50,000 000 of Mohammedans. Of course, those figures apply to natives only. In the figures representing Christianity no account is taken of foreigners reeident in the country. The Itaman Catholic Church has many inherents among the native Indian population. There were forty-six Protectant Churches and societies in India and Ceylon. Of these twelve are Presbyterian, five of the Church of England, six Lutheran, eight Baptist, four Congregational, three Methodist, one Moravian, and one belongs to the Friends. It is unfortunate that Christianity should present so divided a front to the sharp witted population of India. Division in this case is mo3t unquestionably weakness. Some manths ago a country parson in Ohio was so pleased with a cei tain religious puper that he got up a club of twenty-five Bubf cribers for it aniorg his church members. The paper is one ot exceptional purity as to its advertising department, rigidly excludirg all mention ct nostrums and quick medicines. Yet this worthy Ohio clergyman has become disgusted with it on account of the advertisements it contains, notably thoeeof some Hie insurance companies. He writes to the publisher of the paper saying that he totally disapproves of life insurance, and that he does not wish to circulate through his congregatieu a paper containing such advertisements. Ho asks not only that the twenty-five copies of the paper be discontinued, but that the proportion of the money for the unexpired term of subscription be refunded to him. The publishers do not see the matter in the light in which he viows it, and advise him and his friends to keep on reading the issue of the paper which will be Eent them until the term of their subscription expires. A writer in ihe London Christian World, speaking of Jrmes Freeman Clarke and his work in Boston, says that Boston seems favorablo to the health of Unitarian divines. So msny cf them are now working vigorously at the ege when most men seek rest that the fact commands attention. Dr. Clarke is an example. The regular attendance at "The Church of the Holy Lantern" on Sanday is a proof of the minister's abiding power. The iime remarks applies to Drs. A. P. Peabcdy and Lothrcp, both recognized as men cf E!ght in their old age. It is an illustration of tbe truth of Scripture that a rxan "can bring forth fruit in bis old age, ba fat and Sourish, to show that tho Lord is gracious.'' Unitarianism as represented by tbtze men, in cpito of a certain cold -mat -r-ialiim and a laid and barren autcmatiem, is net so very far removed from orthodoxy. It baa little fellowship with anti-suparnatural-if m. The writer regrets that Xew EngUod Uniiprianism generally has so fa? depart ai from tbe principles for which Channing contended, and which be illustrated and adorned bv t is life and werk. Ab it is, ffewEazland Un.tarianiem, with seme honorable exceptions, is dropping more and more into antagonism to everything Puritan and Biblical. THE Spectator has read something about oar Yellowstone Park, and admits that a good sugges'ioa may come from the United States now and then. "Why thould not Kurland follow the example of tbe United States," it esks'and convert some ol tbe districts which most lend themselves to this treatment into Xational parks ?" Keofile Grow Bllloaa Scarcely less often from imrru-lence in diet and failure to avoid other causes which aggravate a natural tendency to biliousness than from the U-e f ill-chosen remedies. The violent cathartics Injure the bowels by weakening them, but have no sreciGc action up;u the liver. The aperient Operation of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is widely different from the abrupt effect ol drastic pireatlves, half triiu rated blue pill and patent but injurious calomel, it initiates a natural and healthful change In the habit cf body, stimulates the liver to lentwed activity in the performance of its bilesecreung function, promotes dige&tton and manifestaita efficiency by the removal of the unpleasant fenkaiioiis, yellowness of the skto. nausea and funed toBRue whicu accompany liver d.sorder.

HOME COMFORT.

After a Bala j Kid a Cobb try miyaletan Tell What H Thinks of 8ot People. "I wieb to gracious some people would learn nhen they reed a dorter anu when they don't," exclaimed Doctor E . as be entered his bouse In a cosey little village in tbe Interior of the State of New York, after a tedious night ride of many miles. "I have been down among the mountains toseearran. who. tbe mestencer said, was Tery aick and not likely to live 'till m ort in, unless be bad Immediate help; and found him suffering firm a rather sharp attack of colic, whica his family might have relieved la ten minutes, if they bad a grtjn cl tense and two or three simple remedies In the house. But no: they mast remaiu ignorant aa pigs, and -4 ben the least ache or pain takes tbem, send for a doctor, whether tüey ever pay bim or not." "Why. Doctor, what kind cf simple rerncdic. a you call them, o you expect people to keep In the he user aeked bis wife, aa sbe poured him a cup of bet tea. "In this case." answered thefDoctor."if they bad Only put a BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER on the man's slrniach, te would bare been all right in an Oiour, aud saved me a dreary ride." In all ordinary complaints it cures at once. All direares are eliminated from the system by what may be roughly called expulsion or extraction, or by a union of the two processes. Kenson's platter promotes both. It incites the torpid organs to act, and eenda its healing, soothing lniluence through tbe myriad pores c: the skin. All oiberplas-.eraol.lige tbe patient to wait. They give bim hope for to-morrow. Benson's Plaster gives him helto-Csv. Which is better, do you think? Buy tbe CAPCINE and keep it Lithe bouse. Ince 25 cent.
