A solemn, Sabbath stillness lies along the Mudville lanes, Among the crags of Shantytown a peace- ful quiet reigns, For down upon MoGarby's dump, in fiery fight for fame, The Sbantye meet the Mudvilles in the final pennant game, And, heedless of the frantic fray, in centre field remote, Behind the biggest ash heap lies O'Reilly's biliygoat. The eager crowd bands forward now in fierce exoitemenb's thrall, The pitcher writhes iu serpent twist, the empire says "Play ball I" The batsman swinge with sudden spite, a loud, resounding "spat," And, hissing through the ambient air, the horsehide leaves the bat. With one terrific batbleory bhe "blench. are" clout their throat, But still eorene in &lumber lies O'Reilly'e biliygoat, Alas, alas, for Shantytown, the Mudvilles forge ahead 1 Alas for patriobio hopes, the green's be- low the red t With one•half inning still to play the soon is three to two, The Shoubys have a man on base—be brave, my lade, and true 1 Bold Captain Mu gay comes to bat, a batsman be of note, And slowly o'er the ash heap walks O'Reilly's 'biliygoat, The yelling Mudville hosts have wreaked his slumber so serene, With deep disgust and sullen eye he gazes on the sane. He notes the center fielder's'garb, the Mudville shirt of red, He firmly planta his sturdy lege, he bows , hie horned head, And as upon his shaggy ears the Mud- ville slogan smote, A sneer played mid the whiskers of O'Reilly'o biliygoat. The valiant Mnggsy hits the hall, Oh, deep and dark despair 1 Ito bite it herd and straight, but, ab, he hits it in the air 1 The Mudville center fielder emilog and towhee forth in glee, lie knows that Ay's an easy ant for each a man as he, Beware, oh rash and realms youth, nor o'er your triumph µ)pat, Igoe toward you, likea4Vayt, flies O'Iteill's billygoat 1 Across the Wutblabattlefield is betas a dull end mullled sound. The fielder lute a bullock falls, the ball toile on the gemmed. Around the hoses, on the wing, the gal, Pant Maggot' speedo And follows swiftly in the track where fast his oomrads loads, And from the field of Oic4tl, where the sleety billows float, With calm, majosbio midst there stalks O'Reilly's billygoab. 0 * Above bhe strap of Shantytown the flaunt- ing pennant' waves And cheering myriads chant the praise of Muggsy's lusty bi*sg The children 'chant in gladsome glee, each lady waves her Rand .As through the streets the heroes maech with lively German hand ; But wilder grows the tamuib when, with ribboned horns and ugat. They see on high in triumph borne, O'Reilly's billygoab. LEISURELY LANE. Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane ? We traveled it long ago ; A place for the lagging of leisurely steps, sweet and shady and slow. There were rims of restful hills beyond, and fielde of dreamfeit wheat', With shadows of clouds across them blown, and poppies asleep at our feet There lads and maids on a Sunday met and strolled them, two and two ; The leaves they laced in a roof o'erhead and only the sun peered through ; And there was time to gather a rose, and time for the wood -bird's pall, And plenty of time to sit by a stream and harken its ripple dad fall. Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane ? (God knows we have hurried afar I) There was once a lamp through the brooding dusk, and over the tree a star ; There was once a breath of the clover bloom, (sweet Heaven, we have hur- ried so long 1) And there was • a gate by a white rose clasped, and out of the desk a song. That song....the echo .is' Estrange and sweet, the voice it is weak and old ; It hath no part with Ibis teem, wild rush and this hard, mad ag£N for gold I It bath no part with the clamor and din, and the jarring of wheel and atone l Oh, listen, my heart, and forget—forget that we reap the bread we have sown I Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane— where, lingering, one by one, The summoning bells of twilight time over the meadows blown, May find us strolling oar homeward way, glad of the evening star ? Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane ? Cod knows we have hurried afar I CARRIED OFF BY EAGLES. One of the most remarkable escapes from death, and as exciting a tale of ad- venture as bas been uttered for many years, is related by Peter Pipiere, a young farmer and banter of the regiou just over the St. John River, in Canada, who has just oome up the country after a peculiar tour. The .the covered 80 miles and was completed in an hour. Friday forenoon Pipiere left home at the head of a party of young farmers for a Clay's hunt. An eagles' nest on the top of Wallywas Mountain, eight miles away, was the objective point of the expedition. This expedition had in mind the capture of a pair of eagles that were known to be on the mountain and the disposal of them to a eirnus. Every man wore heavy leather gloves and bore in his hand a bludgeon. Pi. piers carried the rope. The capture of eaglets on mountain tops is not a safe or an easy matter. The attaching party then advanced on the works of the enemy, who were sun- ning themselves in the front door of their rocky neat. It was a sharp fight and blood ran ou both sides. But man won, and the birds ware soon securely tied, claw to slaw, The rope was passed to Peter, who steered hie team out to the level edge of the towering rock and sat down on the aord to hold the birds still. Suddenly the birds screamed and spread their wings. Pipiere felt the power of bhe pinions pulling on ;the rope. He wasn't prepared to fly. He was in a dangerous position. From the edge of the rock where he stood the mountain ran off in a preoipioe to the valley, a quarter of a mile straight down. "Help, boys, gniok I" he palled, ex. 018883y,tugging at the rope. The men made a rush for him, The eagles saw the arowd Doming, and, with a ddett of blood•ourdling screams, suddenly rose into the air and sailed off into the valley, the rope taut between then), and poor Pipiere hanging thereto for life. Two eagles can easily carry a man ; ono can make away with a fat sheep. At first the weight of the body beneath them was too much and the birds swung low over the treetops of the valley, after a fearful plunge from above from where the faint cries of the men still echoed through the forest. But after the first surprise, and terrified with their strange burden, the pair spread thole big wine out still wider and flew straight out over the country,soubhward. Pipiere didn't know what to do. He is athletic in the extreme, and he had strength enough to swing both legs over the rope and make a sato hold for himself thereon. The eagles eeemed to be flying strongly. Straight over the town flew Pipiere and bis flying span. Peter saw the people in the Menet looking up at him and running back and forth in a crazy endeavor to see the nature of the new demon of the sky above them, Bat bhe birds were flying at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and the town was soon left behind. Over Frenchville the birds passed at the speed of a fast eapross. By this titre Pipiere's mustiest were lame and sore from long,tension, and he was weak and grow= ing weaker, But bhe birds were toeing power, too. Not oven Choy could endure the dreadful strain, and met over the town hall, they same down lightly on the Wipe. The eagles' were well.nigh 50 - handed, . So was Pipiere, but he tied them up in a frieud's barn and watered them. Three hours later, when his frightened companions arrived home, 30 miles or 80 away, Peter was there to realise them, having'oome up In a wagon, with tho eagles; tied in he rear, tt Pipiere Was the eagles still alive, and the rob of the party have voted them to him unanimously.

SCRATCHING C1' A 'HEAL. -- Some men in a public house were in- venting stories to pass the time away. They had all had a turn at it except an old sailor, who bad remained silent all the time, until pressed by the others to spin them a yarn. He began : "I was ones in a dreadful storm. All the provisions were washed .overboard. I was very ill, and ate nothing for four days ; at the end of that time I began to feel hungry and the steward gave me beef, chicken, port wine and eggs," "But you said all the provisions were washed overboard. Where did the beef come from ?" "From the bullooks" (bulwarks), said. the old sailor. "And where did you get the ahiokens from ?" "From the hatch." "And the port wine ?" "From the porthole." "And the eine ?" "Eggs ?" said the sailor. "I didn't soy egge, did I ?" "Oh, yes, you did," said the men, "We've oaught you now 1" The old sailor thought he was caught, and had to consider. At last he said : "Yee, I did have eggs. The captain ordered the ship to lay to, and he gave me one.' BOYS WI'Lll t\0 CHANCE. In another log oebin, in the backwoods of Ohio, a poor widow is holding a boy eighteen months old and wondering if she will bo able to keep the wolf from her lit- tle onus, The boy grows, and in a few years we find him chopping wood and billing the little olearieg in the forest, to help his mother. Every spare hour is spent in studying the hooks he has bor- rowed, but cannot buy. At sixteen he gladly accepts a ohanos to drive mules on a anal towpath. Soon he applies for a Memos to sweep floors and ring the bell of an academy, to pay hie' way while studying there. Hie first term at Geasga Senrivaey Dost him but $17. When he returned the next term he had but a sixpence in his pooket, and this he put into the oontri• bution box at obnrohh the next day. He engaged board, washing, fuel and light of a'carpenter at $1.06 a week, with the privilege of working nights and Satur- days all the time he could spare. He had arrived on a Saturday and planed flfty.one boards' that day, for -which be received $1:02. When the term closed he had paid all expeusee and had $8 over. The following Winter he taught school at 1)12 a month end' 'board around." In the Spring he had $48, and when be re• turned to sobool he boarded himself titan expense of 81 Dents a week.

Use plenty of ad- vertising space to tell your story well and thoroughly, but tell it simply. Don't whoop. Don't turn verbal flip -flaps. Don't make a jumping -jack of the Eng- lish language. Don't tear your hair and froth at the mouth. Just get down to business and tell peo- ple, in short, simple words, all about your new store and your new goods. Act like a solid business man, nob like a fly- by-night fakir. The man who merely jumps up and down might just as well stand still, "Soft and fair goes far in a day." Work up a good solid business by solid business methods. Coax and wheedle, and suggest and argue—don't try to yank trade in by the hair.
