The Law Don't Require
THAT YOU STAND UPON YOUR HEAD TO
READ A NOTICE.
He was an ignorant man but he was a
fighter, and when he had some trouble with
the man who owned the adjoining farm he
had a big sign painted to read:
NO TRESPAsSING,
ON THESE
PREMISES
Then he took it out himself and nailed it
to a tree, just where his neighbor was in
the habit of making a short cut across his
The next day he saw wagon -wheel tracks
running plot the tree, and he resolved to
naake trouble. He sat down on a log near
and waited until he saw his neighbor driving
back.
"See that sign ?" he said as the team came
abreast cf him.
" What sign ?" asked the neighbor pleas- ,
antly as he pulled up his horses.
The one on the tree."
"0, that board.' tet
" Yes that beard! he exclaimed angrily.
"And iwant you to understand I'm going
to law about it. Thatign says: No tres-
passing on these premises.'"
"Does it ?"
"Ye., sir; it does. And I'll make you
sweat for it; that's what I will! I gave no-
tice when I put that sign up and the law
will uphold me. Every man is supposed to
he able to read."
4' Yes. I've studied the law, air. That's
why I put that sign up."
"You've studied it ?"
" Yes, I have; and I'll have you in
" Wait a minute! Does the law require a
man to stand on his head to read a sign ?"
"Stand on your head! Yon-"
Your sign's upside down,"seid the neighbor
as he cracked his whip. "Get. up there,
Sorreltail 1"
There is farther trouble brewiag between
the farmers'.
The Mission of an Organ.
A lady with a cottage organ moved into a
house adjoining a saloon, so that what tran-
spired in one place could be heard in the
other.
A sweet child of the lady died, and the
saloon keeper, who owned the house, pro -
lensed much sympathy; but the (next
Saturday night a number of rough drink-
ing men met in the saloon to have some
violin music, and as it was anything but
soothing, the poor, lonely hearted mother
doubtless thought of the organ, and going
over to it, began playing ;.and as she play-
ed, sang :-
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly:
While the raging billows roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, 0 my Saviour! hide,
Till the storm of life is past,
Safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last."
She had played but one verse when all
became quiet in the bar -room. Then she -
lifted up a silent prayer that the hymn
might prove a blessing ; and so God ordain-
ed, for when the lady ceased the shutters
of the saloon were closed for the night.
The next evening the saloon -keeper sant
two lady members of his family to ask the
lady to play and sing
"Jesus lover of my soul."
Wonderingly the lady complied. Still
more strange, he sent in again and again.
The organ and hymn accomplished their
mission. The man closed his saloon and
abandoned the business. -Christian Ober -
ver.
The Burning Bush.
"Talking about the power of imagina-
tion," said the Raconteur, "I was riding
across a piece of level country in one of the
British North American provinces in a
stage coach of the olden days. There was
a pompous M. P., present, a meek little
French priest and some ladies. We were
all strengers te eanh other, but exchanged
remarks as fellow -travelers. As we neared
a horizon of woods we saw suddenly a burst
of flame.
"A camp -fire," suggested the M. P.
"It is zee bush zat burns," hazerded the
little priest meekly.
"1t is a camp -fire," re -affirmed the Mem-
ber of Parliament.
" I zink zat is zee bush," uttered the priest
in a faint voice.
"1 canfeelthe flames even at this dis-
tanee," noticing my existence with affable
condesceceion, " do not you, sir ?"
"1 cannot say I do sir," I antwered
civilly; "as the wind is blowing. directly
from us, that would be almost impoesible.'
"Impossible or not, the blaze is very per-
ceptible. I arn not given to vain iinagin-
ings. As we approach nearer you will see
fdr yourself, sir, that I am right." And he
drew himself intosa corner with much dig-
nity.
I never care to argue a point and said no
more, for it really made no difference to me
whether he felt the heat of the fire or not at
that distance and I am not altogether a dis-
believer in miracles. So I gazed out of the
opposite window and chatted with the
ladies on the varied green of the pine woods.
Then the little priest spoke up in tones that
had a sort of triumphal I -told -you -so air
ab ou te them.
" Vat I say? Ib ees ze tree net burn,
n'est ce pas ?"
For the fire was moat decidedly quenChed.
That which we had taken for a flame is
known in the provinces as "the burning
bush," a peculiar foliage which turns a vivid
red, before any other tree has changed its
whirr. As the light plain, on its leaves and
the wind agitates them it has all the ap-
pearance of a forest fire. And it is so rare
that there is seldom more than one in a dis-
trict. By the old habitue they are regarded
with superstitious fear.
The M. P. looked and drew down the cor-
ners of his mouth. In this blessed country
it would have meant, "What will you have
gentlemen ?" at the next stopping place.
But I enjoyed feeling the fire in panto-
mime and in knowing that it and the M. P.
were effectually quenched, even if my thirst
wes not."
Apologies.
"Never apologize." It had stared at me
from the printed page all my li,fe ; but it re-
mained for the example of two womon to
make it vita.l to me. I had. the opportunity
once to observe closely the intimate home
life of one of my friends. Her husband's
income was modest, her honse plain, and
she economized in dress. During the year
I lived in her house I was never conscious
of the slightest jar or friction of the
domestic machinery, yet I knew my friend
was not exempt from the usual housekeep-
ing trials.
The secret was -she never apologized.
She gave daily superintendence to house and
kitchen. If accidents happened, nobody
was ever made miserable with the details.
If a dish failed, it must have been her rule
to set it aside; if One appeared on the table
not exently up to the highest standard, she
had the good sense to see that this fact was
not apparent to all, and that an apology
would only intensify the coneciousness of the
few who did perceive it. And it is wonder-
ful what mistakes, partial failures, will pass
unnoted, if only the the -exacting housewife
refrain from apologies !
Sometimes a formal caller appeared un-
expectedly. finding her in a wrapper: or
she was called to the door to speak for a
moment to a neighbor. No distressed ex-
pression, no nervous pulling- at the cheap
and simple gown, betrayed her sense of its
Children Cry for
unfitness. She ignored it, and received
them with a quiet grace, a dignity that ad-
ded a new charm to her loveliness.
I looked and pondered; I saw that an
apology would have had its root in vanity.
It was borne in upon me that apologies are
vulgar and futile -above all, futile.
Now for the other woman. She is my
next-door neighbor, but our relations are
almost entirely formal. Stie imagines me
gifted with the eyes of Argut, though I .am
so short-sighted that I can anarcely see be-
yond • my own nose. Sheapologizes for
faots of which I could never possibly have
had any kno ledge, but for the admissions
-her servan ' shortcomings, the noise her
children mak , the state of her kitchen and
back yard. I stand" confused, annoyed,
bored, under his shower-bitth of apologies.
I meet her ru ming thro,ugh the lane to her
mother's. II w sweet and cool she looka,
is my inward comment. if Imake any. She
stops to apo ogize-for her dress. I say
truly that 1 8 e nething amiss, She is then
at great pains to show me an infinitesimal
hole, or a gra s -stain on the hem, or tells
me it is an old thing, patched up out of two;
and then she enders what I must "think
of Robert, wo king in the garden in his
shirt -sleeves." When I finally stem the
torrent and ge away, I wonder if she thinks
I have no duti s, no interests, to say noth-
ing of moral r 'train* whinh render it im-
possible for m to stand always with a spy-
glass leveled o her windows.
Some wome apologise with the best in-
tention, imagi ing that not to do to shows
disrespect and disregard of a guest's opin-
ion. Others, s in the last instance, hope to
gain credit for possessing a very high stand-
ard by apolo ising for every lapse there-
from. They altebetray. egotism, an uneasy
conscience, an the fact that they are trying
to seem to be o the world what they really
are not.
If my neigh or should read this, and be
converted, 'I shall be" (as an author says in
his preface) "amply repaid."-Hossekeeper's
Weekley.
*
Se ed Him Right.
In the early days of the civil war, the
Maine volunt er regiments were quartered
at Augusta for several weeks after their or-
ganization, to be drilled and trained -before
going to the ront. Many of the soldiers
were young men from the country, in whose
pockets the bpunty money burned as long
as it lasted, to the great advantage of Au-
gusta store and stable keepers.
Two soldier* came into a, livery•stable one
morning, and asked the proprietor how
much he would charge for a team to go to
Waterville.
"Six dollarie" was the reply.
The bargainittas closed and the soldiers
drove off. Toward night they returned, and
one of them stepped into the office and ten-
dered the proprietor six dollars.
"Olt, no !" he exclaimed. "Your bill is
twelve dollars."
" How is thee?"
"Why, you asked me how much for a
team to take you to Waterville, and I said
six dollars; but you came back, didn't you?
I meant six dollars each way."
The two- friends, after a little conference,
paid the swindler the twelve dollars, and
went away without a word.
About a week later a soldier again appear.
at the stable qffice and inquired: " How
much for a teaii to Waterville ?"
"Six dollars " replied the proprietor, not
recognizing t e man upon whom he had
played so meai a trick the week before.
The soldier t ok the team and started off.
About fivo o'cl ck in the afternoon he ap-
peared, on foot? and walking into the office,
said:
"Here's yo r six dollars for that team I
hired this mor ing."
"But where s the team ?" was the aston-
ished rejoinder
" Oh, I only hired it to go to Waterville,
you know. I I ft it at the hotel stable down
there. It cos me six dollars to bring it
it back last eek, E.0 I thought I'd return
by cars this t me. It's so much cheaper,
you see," and »e left the proprietor to his
meditations ab$t the comparative smartness
of civilians and soldiers.

A Trade for Boys.
If I had my way I would insist that every
boy should leant a trade, writes Foster
Coates in the anuary Ladies' Horne Journal.
It was so in tije olden times, and it should
be so now. Tibe man who has a trade is a
thousand tin better better equipped than the
man who has none. Let every boy select
the trade that best suits his ability, and
promises the lalie
honors and remunera-
tion. When e has mastered his trade, if
he dislikes it, or if it is not profitable,he can
begin to study a profession, or enter upon a
commercial life. If he should fail in both
of these, he is still master of a good trade -
something that no one can take from him,
no matter whit exigencies may arise. The
man who is master of a good trade is as in-
dependent as a millionaire. - He need
never want ;' he can find profitable work in
any corner of the world. I do not say one
word egainst ti professional career. But I do
say emphatica1ly that the man who has a
trade and a plofession as well, need have no
fear of the futinre. The boy who wants to

can master a trade between the oars
sixteen and twenty, and if he dislikes it,
still has time to study medicine, the law
any other of the learned professions.
if he waits until he is twenty, or over,
may not have an opportunity or feel ineli
to learn either.

says: On Friday last Mr. J.G. Huneberger,
of Mannheim, the noted horse man, was in
town with his famous Arab stallion
" Cyprus " to have his picture taken, which
was successfully executed by our popular
artist Mr. Schneuker. This little stallion is
really a curiosity and the only Arab stallion
in the Dominion. He is now an aged horse,
and has eeen many hardships, having served
for eix yeare aa a charger in the Zulu war in
Africa. It is really wonderful to see a horse
come through all these hardships, as the
scars on his body give evidence of, and yet
remain as sound as the day he was born.
North Middlesex.
The Parkhill Gazette reiterates the state-
ment that the petition in the North Middle-
sex election "was dropped by a compromise
and that neither Mr. Taylor nor his friends
who entered the petition had any cost9. to
pay." As to why an investigation into the
tampered ballot charge failed,it is pointed out
that Mr. Taylor's friends, including many
Conservatives, urged him to ask for a re,
count, which brought the Conservetive
majority up to six. "But in the courlie of
that recount the mutilated and marred con-
dition of some eight ballots or more con-
vinced Me. Taylor and his friends that the
ballots had been tampered with at some
hour and date subsequent to the closing of
the polls. From that convietion arose the
determination to enter a petition against the
return of Mr. Hutchins, and that a scrutiny
of ballots_should be had and the seta claimed -
for Mr. Taylor. But unfortunately for Mr.
Taylor and fortunately for Mr. Hutchine,
by a clerical error, the clause claiming the
seat was omitted from the petition. Mr.
Taylor's solicitors on discovering the omis-
sion, applied to the judges for leave to
amend the petition by inserting a clause ask-
ing for a scrutiny of votes, and claiming the
seat for Mr. Taylor, on the ground that he
had a majority of votes. But so far from
getting all they applied for in this regard,'
the application was refused in Toronto by
Mr. Justice Rose,and it was in virtue of
that refusal that the tampering of the ballots
was not inquired into at the trial on the 7th
inst."
