A bcrse or do wh:ch has been trained to a print where he sen;s aDle ti do tis own thinking, always deserves honorable men tion and remembrance. A traveller in North Carolina gives h.s experience with a -colt, which seemed to know more than enough to "pass the time of day:" He was a nondescript beast, about fourteen hands Liph, of a dan-brown color, and with a '-oat as shajrjry as a spaniel's. He looked as if he tad not been con-bed since ne tvas born, and even through his rough coat I could count every rib in his body. Hat be had an eye that showed he had a spirit within him; large and lustrous, it was also gentle and -rcNiuetlish. I stepped r.p to him, and, patting him on the neck, asked Lis name of the landlord. "Sam," he answered; " and he knows it. "Bid him frood-moming." 1 did so. and instantly the colt bowed his head and lifted his rigßt fore-foot, which I took and shook gently. "Now talk to him, and see if he does not understand von." "Sam," I asked, "do you v;ant to jro with ."' tarn lowed his head in assent. ' If 1 take you along, will you behave like a jrentleruan Another bow was the prompt reply. "Now a-k him something that requires 'no' tor an answer. "Are you afraid to swim the river?" We shook his head instantly, but thinking he might not have understood me, and seeirj: the advantage of having the wild steed laJy pledged to good behaviour, I chanced the form of the previous juestion: "Will yoa run away with me, and break mv eck?'' A shake of the head, twice repeated, was the prompt reply. Then I put my arm arouinl his neck, and he put his face against mine, end stroked my beard in a fondling n.accer. "You and I are poiri to be pood friend?, -'am," I said, patting: his head, affectionately. Jr.ylantly he nodded very decidedly, by way ,f atürmation. 1 concluded that he had been trained to Hsticguisn between questions meant to be .answered by "yes'' or "no" from the infections of th voice. Even with that possibility, his intelligence seemed something iwirvellous. Iiis Sitr. A yours collegian, in the Jnnior year, was packing his valise to go home for the Christmas holidays. "What are you taking your new meerschaum for.' it will be broken," said his chum. "I must risk it. I told, Jenny about it; the must see it." "Ami your diagrams, what do you want with them."' "Well, Jenny would like to see if I have improved. She is very much interested in my diagrams." "And you are packing up all your medals! Lawntennis prizes, too!'' "Oh, Jenny knows all about the sports! the is impatient to examine the prizes. You cught to hear her talk of touch-down and serves. It would make you laugh. Such a soft, little, shy thing as she is, too!" his eyes shining with tender pleasure. "Jenny" was considered at school but a lull scholar, and she "had no talent for languages or music," her teachers said. She was not a brilliant or a pretty girl. But she kept herself very near to her brother. She always understood his games; knew what "the fellows" thought of each other and of "I're.x;" knew all aoout Jones's averageand I'otts's chances for scholarship. She was never so happy as when snuggled close by his side, listening to his wordy, earnest, ami usually selfish, confidences. Other girls leagued together, with secrets, or talked fancy work or flirtation. Jenny gave all her leisure time to her brother. Who can estimate the restraining power which this friendship and confidence ha3 on the lad, keeping him back from any thought or action which he couli not tell to this homely, loving, innocent listener? Neither he nor she ever knew that there was such an influence at work beetween theru. How many simple, unselfish souls go through life, too dull to do great or clever work in the world, only irivin.? sympathy and affection nnsparingly out of full hearts. The world rates them cheaply, but God knows them as the faithful lest of His messeneers. What are you to your brothers, girls? JVrt, snubbing tyrants, or intimate friends, who will make theru always believe, for your sake, that all women are good, and that God is real and near. lolly lutton. ! Florence K. Weld, ia Woman' Jutirul. 1 never - a tortoise-shell cat without a thrill at ray heart. The years roll back, and I am a child again, hu.'in close to my breast a warm, soft, furry little bodv, listening to the happy purring, kissing the rosy nose, fondling the velvet paws, of Dolly JJutton. Already there were several tats, two dogs, one family nf rabbits, anotherof guinea-pigs, and half a dozen canaries and goldfinches, when Dolly came to join the circle. .She was so sweet and dear froui her earliest kittenhood, I could not give her up; o, while her poor blind gropin brothers and sisters were consigned to a watery grave, I was allowed to keep her and fearlessly watch her expanding charms. With the hrst gleams of intelligence, she besran to return my affection in a very frratifying manner. Before she could balance herself becomingly upon her feeble, tprawling le;rs, she would wrtegle and plunge toward me at the first sound of my voi e. As she grew oMer and stronger, t he would spring for the hem of my gown, scramble up the skirt, up the sleeve to my neck, and there nestle by the hour. In this way I often carried her all over the house and around the garden, sometimes forgetting fhe was there so tiny and so quiet! Older still, the u.sed to come to my bedroom door every morning to wake rue, mewing patiently and industriously until -the door was opened and she was invited to a frolic on the pillows or a last nap beneath the coverlet. IolIy never grew large. In my "Little Fügriri)" I greatly wondered over the picture of a famous little creature, standing erect and prim on her fathers outstretched palm. Many Trill still remember Dolly Datton, and for her was iny kitten named.

My tf-as:tg trotters tad a great lang h at me for sayir.g onte, witn p.a'.nt .ve tcitett: "She sets the whole family aa example, luarLtca." How my father the most tender and indulgent cf fathers came to give Dolly away, is a mystery to tee. I suppose te did not realise tow strong my attachment was. I am rare that he was annoyed by the number of pets that mewed and barked, that sung and scuealed and cackled, in house and yard. I i-rtaps be did not stop to think. The faot rucains that when a merchant in the village a&ked Lira for a cat to rid hi9 store of mice, te selected Dolly and her first family, consisting of two very fat coal-black kittens, neariy as b:g as their mamma. The blow fell i;iit kly and heavily. Before my childish mir.d was able to ?rasp the extent of the cianiity, Dolly Dutton was gone! c t ntrary to my habit my grief was silent ami controlled, and therefore failed to attract E&v.rh attention in the family. I sn Ve-'iire ill. however, and could neiiher eat, sltep, nor play. In a few days the merchant saw my father, ar.d said. "What in the world do you suppose is the matter with that oat? Her kittens are starving, s-he won't eat anything." "Neither will my little daughter," muttered my father. The merchant took him into his store and cp to the comfortable, litrht garret, where poor Dolly was found in a most forlorn condition, she mewed faintly when my father entered, but persistently refused the milk and meat he ottered her, "and of which there was an abundance close by her bed of carl::r.g. That day at dinner my father regarded me thoughtfully, and by-and-by asked if I would like to go with him to see my cat. His kind tone and the unexpected proposal were too much for me and I burst into a passion of tears, revealing my long-hidden woe. Immediately after dinner I was ready. My cheeks burned and limbs shook as we mounted the steep, rough stairs to the earret. The merchant went with us. I could not speak when I caught sight of Dolly in her corner. I kneeled down beside her, and showered kisses on her head. The little creature was too weak to stand, put she purred and mewed and licked my lace for joy. The two spectators were touched. See if she will eat from your hand, dear," said my father. I ot!ered her the meat and the milk, and sheat and drank hungirly. The kittens were alive. "I should like to keep the cat till the young ones are old enough to be left," said the u erf hant. And my father willingly consented, addirg that 1 should coiiif every day to feed her. The thought of her having been given away seemed to have vanished f.oni the mind of both. Well do I remember the day when, leaving her kittens nicely grown, my pet was brought ba k to me. Her delight was unboandd; sbe would not stay a moment out of my arms. It was in June, and very warm, and there were friends dining with us. 4.11 the windows and doors were open; and it seems to me, as I write, that I can hear the drowsy murmur of voices, and can breathe the heavy perfume of syringas blooming in the pardon. Jklly outlived many of her race, her grandmother, mother aud several of her children dying before her. At the age of twelve, her own time came; and now she lies beneath a sweet-briar bush, with a little white stone at her hi ad.

CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC. A fourteen-jvound nugget of gold has been found in Siberia. Since l;r?, as a statistician learns, wars among civilized nations have cost the lives of 4,470100 men. In a cemetery in Ohio there is a tombstone with the following inscription : "Christiana Haag, died Feb. Ü1, lMj!," The Hamilton, Can., Spectator says that on one of the very cold but sunny days common in that locality a difference of "i0 exists between the sunny and shady side of the street. Wild dogs are doing much damage near the head of Wind ltiver, Washington Territory. They seem to be a cross between the cur and he bulldog, and are very fierce, powerful and intelligent. Their last exploit was to chase a man and his team three miles. They have increased largely in numbers in two years. A photograph of the American breechloading rille gun which has successfully passed the ordeal at Sandy Hook represents it as looking like an immense champagne bottle. "It makes a louder pop, however," says the Boston Transcript, "as with :!) jKjunds of powder it sends a projectile weighing ) pounds whizzing at the rate of l4u feet ier second. Another story of feeliu.ir in an amputated limb comes from Bryon, N. Y. Four weeks ago Dr. Townsend amputated Mrs. William GoodlilT's leg just below the knee. The leg was buried, and the patient was getting well all right, except that a corn on her departed foot pained her excessively. After three weeks of this kind of suffering, her husband dug up the buried member, and found that a bandage remained tightly around the toes, on one of which was the corn. He removed the bandatre, buried the member in an easy and comfortable position, and since then Mrs. Cioodliff has "had no trouble with that foot or corn. Mr. Newman, an Knj-lish resident at Antwerp, in order to test the theory of migration, made two new ponds, and stocked one with pike and the other with small, fre-di waler hsb, such as dace, roach, barbel, etc. After two days he had both ponds emptied, when it was found that some of the pike had traveled by some means or other trom their own pond into that of their neighbors, and had devoured the greater part of them. That the pike should have taken less than two days to think out their marauding plan and put it in practice is an additional proof that the water wolf is at lea-t possessed of a prompt and decided character. The destructiveness of earthquakes depends rather upor the suddenness of anplication than the amount of motion. In one at Itio Bomba, it is reported for a fact that a man was hurled across a stream of 100 feet, and landed on an elevation rlfty feet higher than his original position. It is an undoubted fact that objects are frequently thrown great distances. In the Mississippi Valley, during the earthquakes of 1 ill to i sll, the top3 of trees were twisted and entangled and strong log cabins were thrown to the ground. Rivers are sometimes checked in their How, ami in past geological agei some have been completely turned from their course by earthquakes. A writer in the Boston Herald says that, at the suggestion of Professor J. M. Ordway, a gentleman during the last cold spell took two pieces of water-pipe, which he .filled with water, and exposed to the weather, with thermometer at twenty-two degrees. ne of these he covered with cotton batting, the glared kind being best, and the other he did not protect. At the end of two hours the water in the unprotected pipe was frozen, while after an exposure of six hours the water in the protected pipe was still liquid. He says batting is easily applied, and should be put on to the thickness of from one to three inches according to expwsure. It can be held to the pipe by being wound loosely with twine, tut should not be wound tightly. g , A 1'atiltletn lamily Medicine.

Mills, of Texas,ou the Silver Ouestion. Congressional Record. Would you take the country again through that valley of the shadow of death? Would you rejeat again that experience so full of lamentations and mournings and woes? It 3'ou would, listen to the soft, sweet notes of the siren as she sings from the vaults of the National bankers about dishonest dollars. Drive out into banishment the old silver dollars of our fathers; call in the silver certificates; retire all the Treasury notes; make money so scarce that the poor bankers in New York can buy a bushel of wheat for a dime, a pound of cotton for a penny; make it imjossible for people to pay their debts; make labor so cheap that working people can only earn enough to pay interest to money-lenders and taxes to support the Government, and you will see again the return of that night with all its liorrors intensified. fcir, let the man who lives by the sweat of his brow, and his representative here, be not deceived by the shams and false pretenses that are thrown around this measure, that is rilled to the brim with the direst of consequences to millions of people. Let the laborer remember, and write it on his wristlets, carve it on his frontlets, and wear it as an amulet over his heart, that scarce money is his sleepless and unforgiving foe, a foe whose bosom never swells with a sigh of sorrow, whose eye never moistens with a tear of pity. No one can deny that it increa.-es the burden of debt which labor must pay. No one can deny that it makes the life struggle darker and harder. One of the most distinguished advocates jo the suppression of silver has but recently said it we stop coining silver that the act will be a drag upon the production and that suffocation and strangulation are words not too strong express the agonies of a people who are encircled in the coils ot the golden serpent. And yet, with our eyes open and looking down into this abyss of human suffering that yawns before us, we are entreated and importuned to drag the country to the edge of the precipice and plunge it into the tortures and agonies of contration to satiate the lust for gold. Sir, history has recorded on its pages every kind of scourge that has been sent upon minkind from the hand of his fellow, and it has carved the names of the guiltv wretches on its pillory where they stand before the eyes of each recurring generation to suHer the execration due the atrocity of the crimes. It tells of Nero vainly struggling to extinguish the truths of Christianity by lighting the streets of Rome With the burning bodies of her missionaries; of Tamerlane discussing philosophy with the sages of Aleppo while his savage soldiery were gathering the heads of his slaughtered foemen into monumental piles to please the eyes of the royal invader; it tells of Philip II. sacking, burning and butchering the inhabitants of the Netherlands, loyal to his kingdom and crown, because they elected to worship at the shrines where conscience bade them kneel; it tells of the obliteration of Poland, the partition of its territory, tne banishment and confinement of its unhappy people in the caves of Siberia by the sceptered robbers of Russia, Prussia and Austria; it tells of the conquest and long-continued oppression and robbery of Ireland by tne Kins, Parliaments and people of England for 000 years, and that in the face of the remonstrances of all Christendom still stretches her victim on the bed of torture. But in all the wild, reckless, and remorseless brutalities that have marked the footprints of resistless power there is some extenuating circumstances that mitigates the severity of the punishment due to the crime. Some have been the product of the fierce passions of war, some from the antipathy that separates alien races, some Ironi the superstitions of opposing religions. But the crime that Is now sought to be perpetrated on more than fifty millions of people comes neither from the camp of a conqueror, the hand of a foreigner, nor the altar of an idolator. But it comes from those in whose veins runs the blood of a common ancestry, who were born under the same skies, speak the same language, reared in the same institutions, and nurtured in the principles of the same religious faith. It comes from the cold; phlegmatic, marble heart of avarice avarice that seeks to impale the whole land on a bed of torture to gratify the

lby every comfort that wealth can command, and rich enough to satisfy every wan: saye that which refuses to be satisfied without the sv.flocation and strangulation of all the labor in the land. With a forehead that refuse? to be ashamed it demands of Congress an act that will paralize all the forces of pro luction, shut out labor from all employment, increase the burden of debts and taxation, and send desolation and sufferine into all the homes of the poor. In this hour, fraught with peril to the whole country, I appeal to the unpurchased Representatives oi the American peoTe to meet this bold and insolent demand ike men. Let us stand in the breach and call the battle on, and never leave the field until the people's moDey shall be res'ored to the mints on equal terms with gold as it was years ago.
