THE ANT AND THK GRASSHOITCS. An industrious Ant, while tolling in the f eld was accosted by a merry Grasshopper, Who iBVttr-.I Eini to go to Picnic. "Picnic nothing, yon lazy tramo," exclaimed tbe Inaigzan't Ant, "wait till winter com?s and . Bee wbat kind of a Picnic you'll hare I must earn bread to winter my family." So tber wnt their wavs; the Iodastrloas Ant toiled like an African Slave all summer, while the Giddy Qrtmhoppsr took in theaeasiJe sod the mountains. Aboat the Second of December the Discouraged Ant came to the Grasahoper to ask fur the loan of a Tenner to pay his rent; "otherwife," he said, sadly, "we will be evicted, and c-tme upon tbe county. I worred tea hoars a day ail summer, end this is the end of it," "Brace up old Chappie," replied the .Gjod-hearted Grasshopper, cheerfully. "Here's a Double Bawbuci to see yon over tb.4 shallows, and when that's gone come back again. A fellow who pets fifty dollar a niigat and frpe board all Summer for singing a few aong and rebearnos a column of mouldy oid Chestnuts, isn't gotDt? back oa the workirgman; cot in PsWental year."

In the Fall tbe mighty pnrjepkin swells around the county fairs, And the Candidate compaiea it with the mighty tend he wears. In the l all the lecturlrg parson turns his back upon his flock.

"I am sure yon will like our church," laid the elder, showing the new minister around, "yoa will be the first man to preach in it. Tnea are tte churca parlors lor our social gatherings; aren't they handsome? They cost a heap of money, bat It's worth while to do things well. We have a neat little stage, you se, for racitatioDS and little concerts and other things. Here is the kitchen; large, well-equipped, a splendid thing when we give big sappers, as we often do. This lar?s room adjoining is to be the Sabbath school room, but we haven't eot it seated yet, and there is no or ean either. We hope to have a Sabbath scijool organized some time this winter." "And where do yon have preaching?" asked the parson. "Ob, weil," replied tbe elder, "we have no place for preach in j et, and I don't suppose you'll nave much of that to do before next spring. The upstairs isn't finished and I don't know when it will be. It's terribly hard work raising money now. Ii was a'l we could do to fiaish the kitchen." MKS. CLKTILAIfD'S LEISURE. Yes, my sod, sometimes I envy Urs. Cleveland ber leisure time. Sometimes it seems to me she has nearly as many afternoons cut as a hired girl. THE Pt'UISHM CUT FITS THE CHIME, "I am afraid sometimes, ' doctor," said the patient sadly, "that I will go mad. melancholy mad." "And so yon will," said the physician, "if you don't shake off this morbid, gloomy depression and cheer up. Wbat have you done? Committed murdfr?' "No; I think maybe I work too hard." "What is your business?" "lam editor of a funny paper." Doctor changes his prescription and writes him an order for admission to the asylum. HIS OICLT VOCATION. I don't know what to do with you, I'm Bure," raid the discouraged father to his stupid eon, "yoa are Idle and Inattentive at school, you don't seem to know how to work at anything, yon have no memory, no application, you don't even enjoy play as other doys do, you seem to be utterly orthless. There isn' t a thin g in this lan d you ar fitted for, unless you should be elected Vice-President." V1SIEKED COMFOST Yes, ye, my son, I have read your little Toem, "Thoueh dark the storm clouds gather here, The stars are sbining in the iky." You say that thought gives yon great comfort. Well, I am glad it does; etiil, perhaps it would be quite as comfortable to go into the house. If Poverty with a big P should ever assail you, you might "Write another comforting poem "Though I am lodged in jail for debt. There's lota of money la the bank." Eo-ne pcopla are easily comforted. I suppose if yoa were drowning you woald eine, "Although I Sink beneath the waves, It's high and dry cm mountain top." IHI TST OF ETXKKITY. "Will jour work stand the test nf time, my friend?" asked the minister. "I think it will," replied Mr. Sweetnote. who had puDiianea a volume of lovey-dovey poems, 'it has been on the market four rear, and the publisher reports aix copies sold, and they are copies I bought myself. I am only afraid it will have to stand the test of eternity." maw's iwhxmahity to maw. The officers of the law dragged before the bar of Justice a dark-brjired Anarch IsL On his malignant brow was written, "Hatre a to man." Hideous lines of evil marred his face, and vicious misanthropy giowerea irom nia countenance. He glared around nim as though he longed to destroy the human race, .'ßpeak," cried the judge, "Are you the Jnan who threw the bomb?" The face of the Anarchist glowed with the lurid light of pitiless hate, "Bomb !" he echoed, with xreaarirf less scorn, "Bomb! Naw!! Iam the man who wrote the 'Centennial Ode! Ha, Ha, Ha-a a!" And the crowd turned pale and shrank back, and the officers raeped their weapons more firmly, while mid a silence that was like the stillness cf death, the judge put on the black cap And fined him four dollars and thirty cent. BrraiBCTivi jrsTica, Here is a p!ee of good news for thousmode of mal people. A cow got into a Kan's garden and found an oleander grow leg in a tub, which was paintid green and contained thirty-four thousand pounds of dirt. The cow ate the oleander, which is zieh in prnsic acid, and straightway the oleander killed the cow. Here, indeed, ia blessing that makes glad the heart of snan. You kill the marauding cow that prowls around, living on the neighbors, and at the aame time get rid of the thrice Bccnised oleander that only blooms once in three hundred years, ana has to be carTied down into and np out of the cellar fcy the head of the family twice a year.

How did Bariton loss hl voic9?" afca a friend. "He swallowed it," replied the eioger'a physician. "Why can a man walk farther on a cold dsy than on a hot one?' asked inquisitive Jack. "Because," paid the maj r, "warm weather makes him limp." "Yes," said the superintendent impressively, ''all England lionizes the cowboys and the Indians now; but there is one greater than Buffalo Bill." I know," shouted the smart bad boy, the press agent!" "A watched pot never boila," but a carbuncle always does. That is because a carbuncle is always placed ou your nock, wbtre you can't watch it. There my be some other reason, but this will do, as it ia a little out of season. An old Vedic hymn over three thousand years old contains the line "My mother-in-law detests me." So, joa se9 H'm?

Oj inions of Iadiauians Respecting the Xreident of the United States. The Chicago NeiM welcomed tte Teeident to Chicago by publishing bsveral columns of oninions from nearly every Siate in the Union. The following are from Indiana: B36HCP K5ICKEEBACKER. Dear Sir: The administration of pub lic a Hairs by Grover Cleveland has com manded my sincare respect. I have no time to go into details. I should" be glad t see bim retained in otbee a second term. Sincerely yours, D. B. Kkickkrbackeb. Isdiakapolis, Ind., October 1. COLLEGE PRESIDENT JORDAN. Dear Sir: I may eay that, in my opinion, tbe administration of President Cleve land is to be commended for its resistance to demagogic pressure and influence, its soundness on financial questions, and its independent and business like character generally. On the other hand I have felt disapointed at the discrepancy between the professions and the practice of tbe administration in the matter of civil service reform. S3 far as Indiana is concerned I do not think that the administration could have done much worse in this respect than it has done. Efficient officers have bsen repeatedly dismissed for the repeated reason of "offensive partisanship" on the evldenceof men whose testimony would not convict a dog of theep-stealing On the whole, however, tbe administration of President Cleveland seems to me buBiness-like, efficient and reasonably clean, and I should prefer to see him reelected than to see any of the current demagogues republican or democrat ia the presidential chair. Very truly yours. David 8. Jordot, President Indiana University, i Eloomington, led,, October 1. FROH SENATOR M 'DONALD. Dear Sir: I can only state in brief what I have repeatedly said more at length, that in the discharge of the duties of tte executive department of our government. President Cleveland has shown himself to be an abla and eUlcient administrator upon his convictions of right rather than being guarded by considerations of policy. 80 far his Administration has been quite free from errors and a most fortunate one for the country and the Democratic party. J. E. McDonald. Indianapolis, Ind Oct. 1. FROM AUSTIN H. BROWN. My dear sir: The administration of rrfsident Cleveland has been so far a model one 'or straightforward, honest business management of public affairs. The President has exhibited In a unusual degree great courage in meeting issues presented to him and deciding them without leference to how they might affect hla personal popularity. I believe him to be a sincere advocate of a reduction of tariff duties, because it is right they should ba reduced in the interests of the whole people. So far as I have bad Intercourse with the people of Indiana. I believe the Democrats favor his re-election, and many Republicans join with them in this feeling. The business men of all grades spakwell of President Cleveland, and though many of them may not vote for him, they will rot regret bis re-election should it occur. Yours very truly, Austin H. Brown. Member National Democratic Committee. Washington, D. C, September 30. CONGRESSMAN STEELE. Dear Blr: t think Mr. Cleveland has made a much better President than tho people generally expected he would. He has attempted to carry out the George William Curtis civil-service reform, much to the chagrin of a large majority of his party, but I am inclined to believe that he is now weakening in that direction and is pleased when he find a new means of evading the law has been discovered. Gioaax W, Btxzlx, Marion, Ind., September 12. CONGRESSMAN MATSON. Dear Sir: The administration of President Cleveland in every essential particular has met the expectations of the people, and I am sure is indorsed by ninety-nine of every 100 Democrats in this congressional district. I believe that there is such a demand made by his party for his renomlnation that be ought not to ignore, and I have every confidence in his triumphant election, Very truly yours, C. C. Matson, M.
