[From Mark Twain's Kortheomlng Hook,} THE OLD T1 ME PONY EXPRESS OF THE dHEAT PLAINS. f? However, in a little while, all interest was taken up in stretching our nocks iind watching lor the "pony-rid-fer"—the licet moHsenger who sped across the continent from St. Joe to

Sacramento, carrying letters nineteen hundred miles in eight days! Think of that for perishable horso and human llesh and blood to do The pony rider was usually a little? bit of a man brim full of spirit and endurance. Xo matter what time of the day or niuht hiu watch came on, and no matter whether it was winter or summer, raining, snowing, hailing, or sleeting, or wheth||/er his "beat" was a level straight road or a cra/.y trail over mountain crags and precipices, or whether it led through peaceful regions, or regions that swarmed with hostile Indians, he

Ho rode forty miles without stopping, l,bv daylight* moonlight, starlight, or through the blackness of darkness, just it happened. lie rode splendid

Jiorso, that was horn for a racer, and ffod and lodged like gentleman, kept fhim at his utmost speed for ten miles, and then, as he came crashing up to the station where* stood two men holding a fresh imnatlent steed, the transfer of ridur ann mail-hug was made in the twinkling of an eye, and away How the eager pair, and were out oil' sight before the spectators could get hardly a ghost of a look. Moth rider and horso wont "Hying light." The rider's dress was thin and lilted close ho wore a "roundabout" and a "skull-cap," and tucked his pantaloons into his boottops, like a race-rider. He carried no anus—lu1 carried hothing that was not absolutely necessary lor even tho postage on his literary freight was worth two dollars an ounce. Ho got but little frivolous correspondent*! to carry his bag had business letters in it mostly. His horse was stripped 01 all uniieeesHurv weight, too. JJo wore a little wafer o'l'a racing-saddle, and no visible biunkot. Ho woro light shoes or nono at nil. 'Vho Jlttlo Uat tneilp.iekets, strapped under tho ridor's highs, would each hold about iho'bulk ol* a child's primer. They held many and many an important business chapter and newspaper letter, but these

Up re wrote on paper as airy aiitl thin jia gold-leaf, nearly, and thus bulk and fwolglit were ocouomi/.ed. The stagel^oach traveled about a hundml to a (hundred and twenty-live inilon a da\ twenty-lour hours) the pon,v-rider about two hundred and titty. There I were about eighty pony-riders in tho saddle all tho time, night and day, stretching in a long, scattered procession, from Missouri to California, forty living eastward and forty toward the west, and among them making four hundred gallant horses earn a stirring livelihood, and see a deal of scenery ©verv single day in the year.

We had a consuming desire from the beginning to soo a uouy-rider, but, •Mino-how or other, all that passed us [and nil that tnet us, managed to streak lbv in the night, and so we heard only Ja'wliix aiul a hall, and tho swift phanItomofthe desert was gone, before wo could got our heads out of tho windows.

Every lieek is stretched further, and verv eve strained wider. Away across he endless di\ad level ol the prairie, black speck appears against the sky uid it is plain that it moves.

Pratt took

do-wn tSe paperAolume and read them the text. His \lBitors vete greutly disappointed. Thfcy had evidently' spent much time, and also much money which wfts not easily spared, to make this wrapper, and just- what to do they did not seeiu able to determine. But the Senator solved the matter by offering, if

wouid tell him "the full cost, to pay them in full, takothe wrapper, and wear it as a present which he appreciated.

It is not in size alone that Senator Pratt ditlers from quite a number of his congressional associates.

(I KNKIIAI. J{- as lie was called, had a son named Sam who was ronsid (Ted, by those who knew him best, rather stupid but that he distinguished himself once and proved that lie was good at a trado, there is no denying.

Sam owned a dog that wasaconstant source of annoyance to the old gent, who hated dogs in general: Sam's in particular.

The General never tried to conceal his dislike, but on the contrary, showed it in \arious ways: such as throwing hot water on his defenseless back, trying on several occassions to drown him, and in many ways showing him that he was not his friend.

The dog revenged this by giving midnight serenades under his window, chasing his hens, killing his young ducks, and by stealing more rations than two dogs could possibly eat.

He had offered every inducement to Sam to sell his dog, giveliim away, kill him, or get rid of him in some way but Sam loved his "dog" and the dog loved him. and Sam vowed they should not be parted consequently the old gontleniihi was surprised, on coming home to dinner one day to hear S.wn exclaim: ,«

Father, I've sold my dog!" "Sold your dog?" said the General. Well, linn glad you were sensible enough to sell him. A dog is a nuisance any way. I will make you a present bv-and-by, Sam."

Yes, sir, I got sixteen dollars for him." What!" exclaimed the General. "I got sixteen dollars for him," said Sam.

You don't mean to say you got sixteen dollars for your dog, you?" "Well, yes," replied Sam, "I got four pups wurl/tfour djllam piccc!"

DO W N HIM..—The evening of every man's life is coining on apace. Tho (lay of life will soon bp spent. The sun, though it may bo up in inid-hoav-on, will pass swiftly down in the western skv, and disappear. What shall light up man's path when tho sun of life has gone down? He must travel on to tho next world but what shall illumine his footsteps after the nightfall of death, amid the darkness of his journey What question more important, more practical, piore solemn for each reader of our jofUhial to ask himself? That is a long journey to travel without light, without a guide, and withont a friencL Yet. every uiimmust perform If. Tho time Is not far distant -wneri all men will begin the journey. There is an evening star in the natural world. Its radiance is bright and beautiful, and cheering to the benighted traveler. Hut life's evening star is a good hope ol Heaven. Its beauty and brilliancy are reflected from the sun of righteousness, whoso briu'lit rays light up the evening of life, and throw their radiance quite across the darkness of the grave into Iiuiuanuol's land. It has illuminated the footsteps of many a traveler into eternity. It is of priceless value. A thousand worlds cannot purchase it yet it is offered without money and without price to him who will penitently and thankfully receive it.

Tin Washington Capita! says: The greatest Sunday issue of

any

journal in

tho world is tiio seventh-day Chicago Tribune. Some of the smaller and more envious papers recently attempted to decry advertising in the Sunday issue of the Tribune but in responso, the paper of Sunday, April Kith contained fifteen columns of "wants," "rents and small notices, none above ten lines in length, which produced $200 per column: six columns of display advertisements on the lirst pago, at?l'»0 per column and seven inside columns, at $180 per column,making in all twontv-eight columns, yielding more than §l,KH). The sanio issue had thirtv-two columns of reading matter.
