tuul boaril frco of eharga in lont; as
there was n rat In tho pntttry.
I would bo Willi nc to supply him
with salt and crackers to complete the
banquet.
The case Is getting rather dcsporalo ;
those rats are doing an aiuotint of dam
age, heartrending to contemplate. They
cat any thing that comes handy ; If or
dinary articles of diet nro not within
reach they have no objection to ,-nap,
towels, boot tops or ilatlroiis.
They have eat up a (set of napkins,
and ruined all of Mr.s. O'l.autis' table
cloths.
Perhaps you want to know why 1
don't try to get ild of them ?
That's precisely what I tun doing,
I got a dog nnd cat, both warranted
to bo rat-catchers. The cat has b.wely
deserted ; the dog has stood by me
faithfully.
lie carried on a vigorous campaign
against tho rats In tho cellar nnd In the
yard, nnd routed them with loss. Tho
survivors took refuge In tho house, ef
fected a lodgment under the Iloor or In
the wall
and from these secure re- j
treats they smile sardonic defiance at
their bailkd canine foe.
I tried "pb-en," the regularr.it exter
minator. They appitueil to like it nnd
It seems to Improve their nppetltes.
Mrs. O'l.anus read In the papers away
to kill rats which was then ti loci.
It win to fry pieces of sponges In fat
ami lay them round loose. Tito rat eats
the sponge, takes a drink, sponge ab
sorbs nnd swells ; rat swells, as long as
there Is any stretch In him, flnnl result
explosion of rat. '
It Is a sure thing, but It is tool
dangerous. Wo tried it.
Mrs. O'l.anus laid out a dUli of fried
sponge every evening. Ono old rat
tool: quito a fancy to it. He grow visi
bly day by day. All the holes had to be
enlarged to let him through. Ho was
us elastic as intlsai ubber, and swelled
like nn alderninn. lie win tho fattest
rat you over saw. We kept him on
sponge diet for three weeks nnd had be
gun to think it was u failure, when ono
evening, nl'ter the children had gono to
bill anil Mrs. O'Ltinus wns sitting quiet

I'uego wo were stuitled by a terrific
leport. Tho hou-o was shaken, accom
panied by a grand crash of crockery and
tho sound of falling plaster.
In lho suddeness of the emergen
cy Mrs. O'Lanus couldn't make up her
mind whether to faint away or rush
out into the street and call for the po
lice. As soon ns sho had .stilllclently recov
eied from tho shock wo went Into tho
kitchen to prospect nml fake slock of
the dmnage.
Tho elo.-sct wall had been blown In
and a shelf demolished, with fearful de
sli uctiou of crockery.
That rat hud gone oil'. Tho sponge
had wiped him out, and he would
sponge on us no longer.
Hut when 1 caiuo to ealciilato on tho
cot, I found thnt sponging out rats
would't pay.
llcsltlo tliediiniage,thcre was danger.
Estimating by Its effects the explosive
power of one rut charged with sponge,
six rnts going off nil at onco would blow
a small house up,
So I throw up tho sponge.
Then 1 bought a trap; one of those
terrible machines that shut up with a
spring and tnko a rat's ho.nl on", If ho
don't get out of tho way.
Tho only thing caught was two of
Themlstocles' lingers. Ho wanted to
seu how It caught the int. After that
ho left the trap alone without being
told.
Thnt boy has quite ti retentive memo
ry.
Hut the rats they didn't care a snap
for the trap.
They saw through It nt once. They
stolo tho bait from tho very Jaws of de
struction. Then 1 tletl tho bait fust, and what
dltl they do but carry oirtrap ami all,
1 mu woiso off thnu Xo.ih, 1 haven 't
been ublo to light on ury-rat.
(rpcnklng of Xoali, 1 wonder Hint ho
took a couple of rats into tho Ark, Hu
might, I think, havo exercised somu
discretion in tlieselectlon of zoological
specimens for his menagerie, and omit
ted rats.
I don't think thnt tho gratification of

tlou of rats,
When I saw Mrs. O'Lanus last oven
Ing with tears In her eyes, conteiiiplat
lug tho wreck of a dainnsk tublo-eloth,
I was moved.
Hullylng her feollngy, she turned lo
mo with the air of u woman who had
mado up her mind, nnd wasn't to bo
trifled with any longer, and In a firm
and resolute volco said :
".Something must be done."
Hut what is to be done'.'
1 havo heard of suveral remedies for
rats, warranted to bo effective.
One of which Is to pour halfa pint of
nltro-glycerlno down n rat's throat,
then apply n match to his tall nnd blow
him up. Tills Is us dangerous lis tho
("pongo remedy.
Ucslde which It involves tho necessity
of first catching your rat, which is Just
tho dllllcully in my case.
1 begin to feel desperate.
If you know of any sure way of get
ting tho rats out without burning tho
house down, I will try It, and regard
you as the benefactor of

And I don't know what to do with my

The trials and triumphs of the last
few years should admonish us to watch
nml bo sober. Xever before was It the
lot of tills veiur.iblo Institution to wea
ther u storm of such va-.t desolation.
Many and great were the temptations
to cut loose from Its moorings, nnd
drive upon tho sea of uulversnl confu
sion. Scarce nu Institution, civil, po
litical, or eclcslnstical, that lias survived
tho storm, and full many n wreck of
past grcntness is yet drifting upon tho
sullen nml troubled billows. Tho geni
us of destruction even now seems to de
light in the vast variety of the general
catastrophe.
'1 hero is n gallant ship, new und strong,
tho name of lt.s builder still bright up
on its keel, freighted with the hopes of
many millions, but dismantled by the
tempest, ami still floundering In a
trough of the sea; nnd yonder aro oth
ers, who sailed under the sacred en-ign
some broken In twain, each half
afloat mid claiming to be the original
others shattered to fragments nnd be
come the sport of the spirit of change.
Kvery American Mason, especially,
ought to look up this day and bo thank
ful, n" he sees tills highly favored old
sea-beaten craft, still worthy from rud
der to nmst, and proudly riding the
waves. Let Him who plants his foot
steps in the sen anil rides upon the
storm, bo her Helmsman evermore!
In all the fury and rage of evil pus
slini iiml'corruption, not a single volco
charged this Institution of nbberratlng
from its true sphere. I could entertain
you until another nun with living tro
phies of Its worth. In tho prison, on
the field, and nlong the desolnte and
cindered walks of destroyed homes,
full many a siiflerer found rest, refresh-1
incut, shelter, and it friend beneath its i
old Ivy-grown arch. Who docs not re-'
Joice to know that there ii a bow of sym
pathy and hope too high to be icachcd
by the evil thunders of human passion,
or obscured by the gloom of tho sins of
liienV "We speak that we do know,
and testify that we have seen."
In our ardor to accomplish tho noble
ends of this Institution, wo must bo
fall ly understood. Wo nru not so daz

Mu. KliWAiiD M'l'llKitso.v, Clerk of
tho House, appears as the author of nn
octavo volume of ail pages, which
would bo faultless In stylo If It were not
so highly figurative. It's a statement of
(lie contingent expenses of tho Houseof
Hepresentatlves, which Mr. M'I'herson
communicates In obedience to n resolu
tion of tho House of HcprcsentntlvcH
passed on (lit) ttli day; of March, 181:1,
which requires "that the Clerk deliver
to thepostinnsterof tho House wci Hint
anil quanUtta iff itatiunury us from time
to tlmo may bo nceesjiiry for tho use of
tho Houe, keeping un accurate account
of tho siime.nud also of the quantity und
vnltio of Hint used In the Clerk's olllce ;
und thnt, hereafter, in tho annual re
ports now required by law to bo mado
by tlie Clerk, showing the amount of
expenditure from tho contingent fund
of the House, ho be required to state
accurately and distinctly the quantity
ami cost of the ttationery used by the
House and the Clerk's ofllco separate
ly." All this Is stated In a very brief
communication on the first page of Mr.
M'l'herson's novel ; and tho remaining
Sit) pages aro filled with figures which
will convey to tho tax-pnyerB of tho
country a startling view of what lladl
cnllsm considers ".Stntlonory." II would
tnko a good nccounttint a week to add
up this bill, und whether it amounts to
millions, or only huudredsof thoustinds
of dollars, tho Items show that full one
half, and probably two-thirds, of these
charges aro downright swindles upon
the Treasury and the pockets of the
people. Radicalism and robbery nre
synonymous terms.
Tho present bill of the House for the
mere Item of "stationery" Is only for n
single year. It does not Includo any of
tho laiger legitimate expenses of tho
IIoiiso the pay of members, printing of
public documents, nml so on. Hut the
mere cartage of documents, mostly ltutll
cal electioneering pamphlets printed at
tho expenso of the people, amounts to
.-1,002 fiO n year, this cartage covering
1 1,1'd loads of trash, tho bulk of which
goes to wrap bundles in grocers' shops
and to buyer uses. Thomas 11. Heaton
nml .1. H. Clark, "trooly loll" of course,
have the carting of these "loads." If
the articles of what may properly bo
called stationery are really furnished to
the members of tho House, it is proba
ble that nearly every member Intends
to set up a btatlonery shop at the closo
of Ids term as u Itepresentutlve. Inn

A story Is told of a favorite Janitor in I CoNcuitNiMi "linllerlnu" In mm.ili.i.

to havo certain inittters In cliaigo at va -
rlous publle entertainments. A short

Sho wns borne Into an anto-rooui, ami
our friend rushed for Ids bottle of cam
phor, nud proceeded to ruli her face, and
Hint theiuwas something wrong about
the camphor. Ho smelt of It, and found
that all of its virtue had evaporated j
ho applied Ids tongue to It, nud found,
to Ids dismay, that ho had been bathing
Ills patient liberally with niucllagol
She was so stuck up by tho attention
that sho bud tube sent home In a carriage.
Itr.MAinc Aiii.i'.SutiaioAi. Cask. Dr.
Smith of Llnglestow n, Dauphin county,
bus had n patient under ids charge, for
some months past, whoso case seemed
so extraordinary to him thnt ho finally
concluded to cull to hl aid the most ex
perienced surgeons nt hl command.
He accordingly sent to this city for Dr.
V. W. Itutlicrford und Dr. George
Dock, who In respond to therapiest of
Dr. Smith, proceeded, yesterday morn
ing, to meet Dr. Smith nt the bouse of
tliu patient, In Fishing Creek Valley,
some thirteen miles from this city.
The patient, Mrs. Mary Dumbnugh,
tldrly-llve years of ngo, had had a tum
or developing In her abdomen for the
last two years, ami which now attained
such enormous dimensions as to threat
en her life If not rclloved by an oper
ation. She measured around the cen
tre of her abdomen live feet and four
Inches, mid was so enormously distend
ed by tho fluid contents of this Im
mense tumor, thnt she wna confined to
her bed nml scarcely nble to breathe.
An operation was ngreul upon nnd per
formed by Drs. Dock nml Hutherford,
tho patient wns relieved nnd Is now do
ing well. L'pon measuring and weigh
ing the contents of this tumor or sac, It
wns found to yield ono hundred and
four pints of fluid making thirteen
gallons which upon being weighed
accurately, weighed One humlrttl nml

AS AWKWAllDl'llKIlIfAMKNT. TIlO
Hcrkshlre (Mass.) Jjtjte tells the follow
ing curious story: A man In Ilcckct,
while In tho woods for timber, had the
misfortune to "lodge" a tree, and in
order to get It down hitched his oxen
to the butt mid mado them pull. The
tree fell Into the fork of another near'
by, when th" tops overbalancing, tho
other end was Jerked twenty feet high
In the air carrying the oxen with It,
whero they remained snsponded In Im
minent danger of being choked to
denth. l'ercelvlug the trees to bo very
nearly poised, the man attempted to
drag them down by tho tall, but, ono of
these falling, ho had recourse ton fif
teen foot pole, with which by reaching
up to the tops, he could so raise It that
the oxen's hind feet could touch tho
ground, thus enabling them to catch
breath, llelng unable to sustain the
top for any length of time, ho adopted
the see-saw motion, causing the tree to
vibrato up nnd down often enough to
give ids cattle a chance to get air. Ho
continued this operation four hours be
fore aid arrived. He then climbed up
mid out nu the tree, cut off a twelve
foot log, which falling, released the ox
en, and ho "snaked" It home without
even unhitching.
Took Hi ji at his Woitn.-Thefollow-Ing
story Is none the less good for being
old : "In , Connecticut, Mr. Ewlng
hail borrowed twenty dollars of his
neighbor, Squire ltoblusou, and had
fulled to inuke payment according lo
promise. After two or three such dis
crepancies, lie at hist told tho squire
that lie would pay him on the follow lug
Saturday, if hi life iiiw rparrtl. Tho
day eumeiind went, but no money. Tho
next morning, bright mid early, the
squiro sent word to the sexton tli.it Mr.
Ewlng was dead, and.ns was customary
In those days, tho bell should be tolled.
Tho sexton tolled forty-nine times, in
dicating the age of the deceased. "Who
is dead V" asked the neighbors. "Mr.
Ewlng," sahl tho se.xton. Hut in tho
course of tlie morning, ns wnslils wont,
Mr. Ewlng was on his way to church, to
the surprise of all who laid heard of his
denth. And he wns not the less eon
founded when told that ho was dead.
