iences in breaking one. It is easy to break a pony—as easy as rolling ofT a two-story house. First, you catch your pony; then you climb on; and then, you climb off—the pony assists you in this manoeuvre. After you have repeated this fifteen times, you start the pony, and when you pull to the right and the pony turns to the left, don’t get excited, but pretend you wanted him to turn to the left anyhow; this will not only aid you in keeping your temper, but will also make the by-standers think you are getting the pony “down to perfection.” And when j'ou get the pony going at a rapid rate, if he stops suddenly, that is no reason you should stop, also; no; you must go right straight ahead, leaving the pony behind. All horse-breakers, ns far back as metn’ry runneth, have always kept going when their horses have stopped suddenly; and pony-breakers are not an exception to the rule. It also shows a spirit of “goaheaditivoness” in the rider. However, you need not go ahead more than ten feet, which is a sufficient distance to show that you do not depend entirely on the pony for locomotion. After going ten feet, if there is a fence handy, contrive to alight astride of it; if it is a plank fence, it is the easiest thing in the world to imagine you arc still sitting astride the pony’s back-bone. After accomplishing this much, walk smilingly up to the pony and lead him to the stable; the pony will think you would rather ride the fence than him, and, becoming jealous of the fence, he will behave better next time The next day hire a boy to finish break. ing the pony The South End boys still continue to visit those North End girls, while there are numbers of prettj girls in the South End to visit. We could name several, but then we might miss some, and we have no desire to become bald-headed and be compelled to wear a wig The tramps don’t sleep in the ash-bins at the rolling-mill now—they prefer an ice-house.

Day before yesterday Mrs. Wilson, of

There were six birds in the cage, and they looked so much alike that she was unable to keep track of the thief. After considerable thinking over the matter she finally determined to kill the birds and inspect their stomachs for tbetgem. The slaughter of the innocents began at once, and as luck always has it, the gizzard of tho last bird contained the

East Third street, by taking a dose of oxalic acid. Deceased was a married man and the father of two children, aged 3 and 5 years respectively. He arrived in this city eleven years ago, and took up his residence on East Twenty-third street near Second Avenue. While living there Louis Maybes, a widower, and his two children boarded with him. Maybes and Bubach could not agree, and (he former was forced to seek a home with his children in somo other quarter. Since that time Maybes took to himself a wife, and went to live at No. 347 East Eightyfirst street. Both men worked at Straiton N: Storms’s cigar-factory, corner of Twenty-second street and Third Avenue, As fellow-workmen they were forced into each other’s society, but they never healed the old quarrel or spoke to each other. Maybes took a peculiar method of aggravating Bubach. Whenever the latter would enter the work-room Maybos would begin to whistle a tune from "Fatinitza,” a German song, the English of which is, “You aro cra/.y, my child; you must go to Berlin.” The constant repetition of this tune whistled in his ears, with a malicious design, resulted in driving tho sensitive Bubach cra/.y. Ou Friday morning ho was greeted by the obnoxious melody, which Maybes whistled with mocking variations. He left his work bench and returned home, and meeting his wife and father exclaimed: “I can not stand this persecution any I longer; I will commit suicide.” His father remonstrated with him about entertaining such a foolish idea, and advised him to pay no attention to his persecutor, but to return to his work. This sensible advice he obeyed by going to work in tho afternoon. Yesterday morning he left the shop abruptly from the same cause, and on his way home ho bou ght a bottle of oxalic acid. When he reached his apartment he begged his wife and father to forgive him, and finding him in an excited condition they tried to soothe him by sympathetic counsel. He went into tho hallway, and his father saw him take a bottle fromjhis pocket and drained its contents. Soon after the unhappy %u(fiide fell to the floor in a fit. Medical attendance was summoned, but life was extinct on the arrival of tho physician. Deceased bore the reputation of an industrious, sober mechanic. For the past two months ho has been very restless and nervous, and his mind has evidently been affected by tho persistent persecution he was subjected to. Ho had complained of pains in the head, which lie thought bad been occa-

sioned by the heat.
