CLIMBING CHURCH STEEPLES.
SOME PECULIAR EXPERIENCES IX A PECULIAR TRADE.
CJarance E. Ward, of Albany, N. Y., has Ix-en engaged for some weeks in removing the plaster from the outside tbe Congregational church steeple, in this city. lie will paint tbe tall spire after the brick work is painted up." On the day after Garfield's death he draped the top in mourning. Those who have witnessed him swinging on the dizzy steeple top, will be interested in the following from the Philadelphia Press "I think I may justly claim to be the -origfnial 'Steeple Jack,' as far as this country is concerned, and there were not many before »y time in England

"I would soouer work on a steeple than on the ground. I cannot realize a»y danger in it. A peculiar sensation *reeps up your back when you are swinging to and fro 200 feet or more nlovo the surface of the earth, which is pleasureable to an extent I cannot deMcribe. Of course the slightest defect in the ropo or the pole to which the rope in fastened would launch me into oternily, but 1 never think of that. have never felt what fear is. I can look up or down at will. It is absurd to sa that a 'Steeplo Jack' dares not loo] down. He could not do his work unless ho did. A man who experiences uiiy feelings of that sort should not attempt the business, for he is sure to fall uorne duy. Now I will try to describe some of my work. First I will tell you how steeples are built. From the ground they all appear to be conical, but ilioy are with fow exceptions, octagonal. There are built, as a genial thing, of
*p ioes between the joints are securely planked and the whole is carefully sluted. Not the least dangerous portion of Steeple Jack's work is the buildin of ihone steeples. They are often erect© above a square tower seventy or eighty feot high, and it is no joke standing in a galo of wind placlag the first joist in its place. After the first three aro in position tho rest is comparatively easy. .So much for the building. Now for the repairing. "In 1877 tho cross on tho apex of the staple of the Catholic Church of the Annuucirtion, at Tenth and Dickinson streets, was injured by a strong wind, so that it was feared It would tropple over into the street. I was instructed to take down tho old cross and put up another. The total height was 225 feet from tho ground. I was able to ellmb inside tho steople as far as a window twenty-two feot below the base of the was. Through that window 1 inserted long polo, which reached sixteen feet aiv)ve tho cro&s. The pole was only two or three inches in diameter, aud iioar the top was an eye b«lt, to which was fastenod a ropo, and at the end of tho ropo was boatswain's chair—that is a piece of inch plank two feet long and six indies wide—and I was seated on that. And there I swung, backward and forward, for two hours on a freezing day in March. I was often carried as much as ten foet away from the pole, but I managed to lower the broken cross in tho mou below, and after awhile the pew cross was hoisted np to mo, and I fixed it in the soskot, and no small job it was, I assure you, for it weighed many scores of pounds. On another oooassion I stood upright on tho top of tho cross of St. Joachim's (\itholfc Church at Frankford, over 200 f*«t abovo tho oarth, for nearly two Jiours, while they took my photograph. The snow was then lying soveral inches thick on the ground, so you can imagine how cola it was. I had no support whatever, but tho idea of falling never crossed my mind. Tho photographer could not obtain a good imlros«ion until he had takon soveral negatives, aud that is what detained me HO
long. But my biggest feat was when Jfolhnbed tip one of the wire guys aflixed to tho observatory at Belmont. I had tho job of taking'down tho tower and found that the ear was out of order, and 1 htul to get to the top somehow, *u as to place my tackle in order. I thought over that job for three days, and at last 1 determined to climb the wire guy and up I went, hand over Knnd, for.'500 feet, and I reached the top in twenty-five minutes. I was rather proud of that job. I saw an account lately of a 'Steeple Jack' who talked about three days being occupied in climbing a steeple. I will mount any steeple in America in half an hour. "I have never met with any particular accident, although on one occasion I had a tuirrow escape. In finishing a steeple it.

BOOK STEALING. K:
Various devices for preventing the robbery of books, says an English writer, have generally proved entirely inadequate. One of the earliest consisted of writing doggerel verges on the flyleaf of tbe book, and possibly in affixing to tbe inside of the cover a printed label bearing, besides tbe name of the owner, a solemn warning against the crime of speculation. One of the oldest books in possession of the writer contains the following laconic ooaple:
To loss this book would canse'me grief Whoever takes it is a thief, Another—a school book—has the following, in a school boy's sprawling hand:
Steal not this book for foar of shame, For here yon see the owner's name. Still more clear and unmistakable was a stanza which, thirty years ago, eonld be found innumerable. The spirt of the lines is so boyish that no one but a boy oould have composed them and this was
They bnt the one we remember reads as follows
Steal not this book, my honest friend For fear the gallows will be your end Up the ladder, down the rope, There you'll hang until you chokc Then I'll eomeaiongfend say, Where's that book you stole away. Printed label are sometimes found in old books which, besides the name of the ewner, bear a scriptural passage, or a stanza especially addressed to borrowers. The following quotations, which we find is Warren's "Study of Book Plates," are certainly pungent and appropriate. An early book piato reads: "Psalms xxxvii., 21, 'The wicked borroweth and payeth not again.'" Anothehas: "Go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.—Matt, xxv., flpJ Still an otb8r quaint qnaintapplicatioi^Al Scripture is made, on an early boot plate, for a somewhat different purpose- "Revelations, x., 9, 'Take the book and eat it up.'" That was a curious device whicn was adopted by an eccentric phy sician of the last century. He affixed a label to his volumes bearing the inscription: "Stolen from the library of Dr John Brown." Of course, if the book was found at home, these words bad no significance, but elsewhere they con veyed a serious imputation.
ABOUT WALKING.
No two of ns walk alike. The hinges of our gait turn the same way, but with different results.
The baby strikes out a toddle because it hasn't strength enough to walk, but it has the underlying principle of a natur al walk, beeause it "toes in." "Toeing out" is a military artifice invonted for tbe purpose of showing how much more a man knew, than the Lord did
The hippity hoppity, skip and jump is peculiarly the little girl's gait. Uneasy and restless,the flutter-budget seems determined to wear the solo of her shoe and the soul of her mother out at the same time but she is the prettiest picture of animation humanity can show.
The dead run, all out of breath, is the small boy's gait. You can set down the boy who so far forgets himself as to walk is already in his dotage.
The bound-to-have-it gait is a rapid straightforward stride, never turning to the right or left. The man who has it knocks over children, barks his shins against market baskets, and stubs his toe against everything on the walk. But he gets there, and his coat-tail arrives about two minutes later.
There is a slow, measured gait, tread, tread, all day long. The man who carries the hod has tnis peculiarity down fine. He would run to afire in the same stop and get there—possibly.
Tho long lope, 34 inches to the step,
from going over thorough ground and anybody that gets the best of him has got rough ground to go over.
Tho quick, sharp, and spiteful gait with the little metallic heels ringing on the pavement, is the gait of the smart young miss, with bright eyes and lots of vivacity. to keep company make up his mind to train to her step. She will never train to his.
The young man who intends with her for life must
Tho every-day business gait. Going right along with your feet, and your thoughts in the elBce, store or whatever it is. You never know bow far the walk, nor how long it takes you to cover it. It is an indefinite, and frequently the only, aid to good digestion.
The take-it-easy, don*t-care-a-cent sort of gait, with a caue twirling over his finger, is a typical man of the world. He leads a life of leisure, and wouldn't hurry himself. As a consequence he jrows fat, rheumatic, and gouty, and in atter years walks with two canes and tremulous limbs. It doesn't pay to bunch vour pleasure.
The slow gait For particulars, send a small bov on an errana.
HO ITPAYSIO TAKE A NEWSPAPER. Some papers are not of much account as to appearance, but I never took one that did not pay me, in some way, more than I paid for it, Onetimean ola friend started a little paper away down in Southwestern Georgia and sent it to me, and I subscribed just to encourage him, and after awhile it published a notice that an administrator bad an order to sell several lots at public outcry, and one of the lots was in my county. Sol inquired about the lot, and wrote to my friend to attend the sale and run it up to fifty dollars. He did so, apd bid nie off the lot for thirty dollars and I sold it, in a mouth, toa man it joined, fora hundred, and so I made sixty-eight dollars dear by taking that paper. My father told me thai when ho was a young man he saw a tioe in a paper that a school teacher was wanted away off in a distant county, and he went there and got the situation, and a little girl was .sent to him. and after a while ahe grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and he fell In low with her and married her—now, if he hadn't taken that paper, what do you m*k«»n woukl have become of mo^ Wouldn't I have been some other fellow, or may be not at all.
EXAMPLE TO THE YOUNG. X. Y. HemkL For years to come, so Ions as bUlory is read.*the career of Garfield will be the example to the young, tbe admonition to all. It will be an example of poverty surmounted, of energy in doing right, of patient devotion to tbe truth, of domestic virtues, of respect for those relations in life without whieh society would be barbarism. It will be an example of re«t achievements, of the attaining of a igh place at a time when in the course of nature a long and brilliant eyureer might have awaited him.

IMFLUBKCE OF A HOMFC.
There can be no such thing in the highest sense as a home, unless you own it. There must bo an incentive to plant trees, to beautify the grounds, to preserve and improve. It eleyates a man to own a home. It gives a certain independence, a force of character that is obtained in no other way. A man without a home feels like a passenger. There is in such a man a Uttle of the vagrant. Homes make patriots. He who has sat by his own fireside with wife and children, will defend it. When he hears the word country pronounced, he thinks of his home.
Few men have been patriotic enough to shoulder a musket in defense of a boarding house.

school at the little log sehool house, whieh stood where you now see yonder brick school building. He then worked mornings and nights and attended school through the day. One little ina cident I never shall forget. There was a spelling match in the little log school house in which James, who was thirteen years old, took part. The lad standing
help him James told him how to spell the word. The teacher saw this, and said: "James, you know the rule. You must go home."
James picked up his and left. In a very few seconds he returnwd and took his place in his class. .. "Why, how is this Jamest I told you to go home," said his teacher. "I know it, and I went home," said James. ..
An incident occurred one night which showed his innate love for justice. One night he was called on bv the captain to help fight the crew of another boat which had reached the lock at nearly tho same time for the first use of it. "Who has the right of it?" asked James, as he prepared for action. "Well, I guess they have, bnt we can lick themand get it," said the captain.
James drew on his coat again, and said: "No, sir I won't help if it justly belongs to them."
He visited me after nis election to the Presidency, and we had our last talk together. He told me then, in a sad tone, that through his life he had been making friends and many sincere ones, ana what grieved him now was that from this time on he must make enemies. He could not give office to all applicants, and those whom he disappointed would bo unfriendly to him. He also said that it was not his ohoice to be nominated for the Presidency. "I had just been elected to the Sennte," said he, "and was looking forward to six years of rest there. I had thought that at some future time it might be possible that I should aspire to the Presidency, but now the honors of the office seem to fadeaway before its reat responsibility of the office." We ..ml a long conversation, and it seemed like returning to the days when we were schoolmates together. This was the last time I saw him, and I never will forget the conversation.

FOR TIME AT LAST MAKES ALL THINGS EVEN. Sunday Budget.
Many years ago there dwelt, in a certain Boston street, two families, which, although near neighbors, had no neighborly relations, nor even acquaintance. This grew out of the fact that while the head of one house—let us call him Jones —was somewhat "low condition," the other, whom we will style Pedigree, was upper crust, a regular patridan." It rather troubled the Jones family to have the Pedigrees treat them as though they did not exist but they managed to worry along, and in due time tbe Jones boys grew to be men, aud entered upon the serious business of life, one of them to such goodT" purpose that he acquired wealth and became the president of a bank. One day, one of the Pedigrees received a check on the same bank, and stepped in to have it cashed. The teller was all politeness, said he bad no donut that it was all right, but added that the rules of the bank required that the presenter of a check should be identified. Mr. Pedigree found no fault, and added that he had no doubt Mr. Jones, the president oi the bank, oould furnish the needed identification. Just then the ened to pass from his private room arid the teller handed him the check and stated what was wanted. Tbe president took tbe check, examined tbe signature
