What will it matter by-and-by,
Whether my path below was brlgr.t,
Whether It w on rul through dark or light,
Under n gray or golden sky,
When 1 look back on II, by-and-by?
What w 111 It matter, by-and-by,
Whether, unhelpod, I tolled nlono,
Dashing my foot u gainst n stone,
Missing the charge of the angel nigh,
lllddlng mo think or the by-and-byj
What will it matter by-and-by,
Whether Willi dancing Joy I went
Down through tho j cars with a gay content,
Never believing, nay, not I,
Tears would bo sw eeter by-and-by 7
What w ill it matter by-nnd by,
Whether with cheek to cheek I've lain
Close by tho pallid angel, Pain,
Soothing mjseir, through sob nnd sigh,
"All will bo elsewlse, by.nnd-by 1"
What w ill It matter Nought, it I
only nm sure the way I've trod,
tiloomy or gladdened, lends to Ood,
questioning not or the how, the why,
ir 1 but reach him, by-and-by?
What will I care ror tho unshared sigh,
If, In my fear or lapse or fall,
close I have clung lu Christ through nil,
.Mindless how rough tho road might lie,
Sure lie will smootlien It by-and-by.
What will It matter by-and-by?
Nothing but this : That Joy or Pain
Lifted mo sl;j ward-helped mo to gain,
Whether through rack, or smilo or sigh,

It happened that tho rangers we're sudden

was no accommodation for taking Jock on
shipboard. To the great disappointment
of the men, the authorities decided that he
should be left in India. He was, however,
permitted to accompany the regiment as far
as tho quay.to watch tho troops as they went
on board.inany of whom had a parting word
of kindnes for their old comrade. "Good,
hy, old man" "poor old Jock" were ic
peateit, with many variations, both by
ollicersand men. SIcanwhilo tho animal
watched the proceedings with great appar
ent interest, as wondering when his turn
would come to go on board. Hut when tho
vessel steamed off and left him ashore, ho
became frantic with rage and disappoint
ment. It had been proposed that he should

persistently refused to have anything to do
with it. Neither tho coaxing nor the threats
of his mahout were of any avail. Though
he had previously manifested the gentlest
disposition, ho now threateningly withstood
all kindly advances on the part of his would

become that it was deemed expedient to
place him in confinement. Even the ma
hout himself was several times placed in
a very awkward predicament, and on ono
occasion barely escaped with his lifo. No
means could be found to assiiago tho grief or
to calm tho anger of this faithful creature,
who so constantly mourned tho loss of his
friends. 1 In t in le.-s than two years the
Hangers came hack to their old nuarters, and
were informed of tho melancholy change
which had como over their old comrade.
"No go nccr no touch, sahib : he strike
hard," said tho mahout j "ho kill."
"Why, Jock, my boy," said a young o ni
cer, formerly ono of his special friends,
"why, what's tho matter?"
The animal pricked up his ears and in
stantly recognized tho voice, which was
proved by his manifesting unmistnkahlo
signs and sounds of joy. It was quite af
fecting to see, when oneo moro ho was per
mitted freely to repair to the parade ground,
with what kindly recognition ho embraced
ninny of his companions, placing his trunk
tenderly on their neck and shoulder. I
need hardly soy he was at oneo leitistatcd in
his old legimeiital post, tlio duties of which
ho recommenced to discharge as if no inter

A Hog Story.
Tuldbu Mr. Richard Grant White, in the
Galaxy for December.
Digs cannot laugh except with their tails ;
and then they laugh for joy. I doubt the ex
istence of a doggish sense of humor. Hut
scorn and contempt they undoubtedly do
feel thev show it to other dogs and I believe
that they must feel it for some men. At least
I should not like to run tho risk of losing tlio
respect of a dog of any character. I should
certainly see it in the contemptuous whisk
of his tail and in the sidelong glance of his
eyo. The most supremo expression of con
tempt that I ever saw was from a dog of
mine. Uo was a nohlo beast, large and
beautiful. His sire was an English blood
hound, his dam a St. Hcrnard mastiff'. Ho
was fawn-colored, brindled, and his cars
were softer than the finest silk, lie was so
big that he could stand on all-fours and take
a roll with his mouth from tho dining table,
and that ho could spring up, put his paws
on my shoulders anil look me in the laco
And yet I had a little hlack-and-tan terrier
that would bully dear old Thor for so I
named him out of everything; everything,
that is, but hones, meatless bones ; for that
is a subject upon which no dog of any deli
cato sense of what is duo to himself will al
low the least outside interference. Hut Thor
loved l'uck and would let the little rascal do
almost what ho liked, and when his teasing
mil impudence reached a point that was in
tolerable, tho grand old fellow, instead of
taking his tormentor hy the back of tho neck
and quietly dropping him somevvhero out of
the way, would meekly come and put up his
great paw on my kneo to beg me lo go out
and set matters straight. And yet for l'uck
ho would fight any thing; and many was tho
row into which ho got by standing up for
his quarrelsomo little playfellow.
One day I took Thor with mo on a now
walk, in the course of which wo passed the
gate of a fanner who had two largo pointer
dogs, who were very cross and quarrelsome
both with man and beast ; even so much so
that thev attacked men who came to the gate.
As we approached tho gale, there they lay
together outside of it upon tho cloo green-
svvarth that stretched into tho road. At the
sight of Thor they pricked up their ears,rose
to their feet and began to growl. Thor, trot
ting on ahead of lie, turned his head a mo
ment, but kept on his trot. As wo drew near
they crouched together upon their bellies,
and began to movo thus toward tho middle
of tho road ; and when wo were opposite the
gate, with one yel ing bark they made a si
multaneous rush upon the stranger. Oh,
I'hor, Thor, did the spirit of Shakspearo en
ter into thee, that without even turning thy
head again, thou hcavedst up thy leg, liko
Crab's dog, and served those (logs as he
served tho gentlewoman's farthingale, and
then joggedst on as if nothing had happened,
leaving them to sneak back to their lair, with
their tails between their legs, less iu fear
than iu astonishment, and thy master to
eleavo tho sky with laughter? Verily, I
think there must ho some human curs, who
liko to spring yelping upon a man merely
beeaiiso ho is a stranger, whom it would bo
well if somo big huniau mastiff' would treat
somewhat after the same fashion. They de
servo no more respectful consideration.
A l'lcn for Late Suppers.
I discussed llio question recently with an
ublo physician, who said to me : There is
nothing moro absurd than to pretend that it
is unhealthy to sleep Immediately after tho
last day's meal. Is not man nn animal? Do
not anim.ils, without exception, sleep nftcr
cnting? Do wo uo! feel liko sleeping after
ench day's meal, nnd is it not hy nn effort
that wo shako off' sleep ? Evidently the body
yearns for sleep. Kxercho immediately alter
every meal is pernicious, Hcst is healthful.
What rest can compare with sleep, which
reposes tho mind, tho lungs, even tho henrt?
Sco tho peasants, No persons enjoy belter
health than they do. Supper is tho best
meal of tho day. No sooner havo they sup
ped than they go to bed. Look tit the actors.
There was Hublnl, lo dined nt three, went
tn his dressing room in tho Italian opera
house and slept till tho theatre opened Its
doors, At midnight ho supped heartily nnd
straight to bed he went, llo died of sheer

L. Ih Proctor, author of "Tho llcnch and

amusing incident in tho history of thocreat
jurist.

and night coming on, believed themselves
doomed to spend it iu tho open forest cx
posed to all its honors and dangers, Hut
jnst as Kent brought his horses to a halt, a
light suddenly gleamed out ofthe Interstices
between the trees, a short distance ahead.
Hushing onward once more, they found
themselves in a few moments in front of a
comfortable log house standing near tho
road side.

with a lighted caudle iu her hand, comes to

-Mrs. Kent obeyed. Tho hor-es were un
harnessed, led to tho fctable and fed. In
short time tho 'woman 'prepared a homely
out acrep.aiilo supper lor her guests. When
the meal was finished sho said :

ascended a ladder leading to a sort of scuttle

moments she was lost in sleep.

In August lnt great alarm was caused in

mysterious disappearance of two children

21st, and another boy, of eight, the following
evening. It was supposed that they might
have fallen into tho stream, where they wont

the village became a scene of the wildest ex

in hot haste for whatever Military and police
was in the village, and a sufficient force ar
rived ju-t in time to save the wretch from
being lorn to pieces by the populace.
Jt seems that tho murderer, Grandi. was a
deformed man, of diminutive stature, high,
rounded shoulders, very largo head, upon
which there was not a scrap of hair, nnd re
pulsive features. As is too often tho case in
Italy such unfortunate creatures become the
object of open public ridicule. The boys of
Incisa had been in the habit of teasing and

ums for awakening these emotions. In our
ordinary conversation wo admit words now
which wcro oneo thought nhovo the tone of
common talk, and wo may at any day hear
in a party collected for purposes of mere re
laxation, words which DeQulnccy would
forbid for such occasions as inappropriate,
and so far indecorous. 'Equally with bosom,'
ho says, "are prescribed the words ajjliction,
guilt, penitence, remorse, from tho ordinary
current of conversation among nlcro ac
quaintances, beeaiiso they touch chords too
impassioned and profound for harmonizing
with the key in which tho mere social civil
tics of life nrc exchanged." Strength is tho
general aim wo do not fay eflect in tlio
talk of tho present day. Our slang and
epithets all show this. Tho youth of every
period has had, no doubt, a list of epithets
as short as unmcaning,for passing judgments
on persons and things, hut not necessarily
inspired by tho same intention. It strikes
us that now whatever iiiclinatieu there exists
toward variety lies on the side of vitupera
tion. Loathing is moro eloquent than lik
ing. It was not nlvvays so. "Heavenly,"
"pretty," "fine," "sweet," wcro oilco
as lavishly misapplied as the terrors of
our present custom. Formerly, when
a speaker wanted to convey his meaning hy
merehruto strength, a familiar objurgation
too readily presented itsclfdeaving fancy somo
range when ho set himself to seek secular
terms of dispargement. Happily swearing is
out of fashion(as far as wo arc here concerned);
but it is impossible not to feel how certain
words a certain word come into general
use, which once would havo been inadmissi
ble, supplies a need, fills an irksomo void
left by its profano predecessor. "Beastly,"
which wo hessitate to write, is not wrongjbut
it is rude, and imparts to the speaker somo
ofthe blind satisfaction of an oath without
the sin. lllachcood's Magazine.
A Connubial Controversy.
The bolt on the back door had needed re
placing for a long time, hut it was the other
uight that Mr. Throcton had the presence of
mind to buy a new ono and take It home.
After supper he hunted up his tools.removed
the old bolt and measured the location for
the new one. Ho must bore somo new holes
and Mrs. Throcton heard him roaming
around tho kitchen and woodsbed,slamming
doors, pulling out drawers and kicking tho
furniture around. She went to tho head of
tho stairs aud called down :
"Hichard do you want anything?"
"Yes, I do I" he yelled back. "I want to
know where that Texas cork-screw is."
"Cork-screw," Hichard?"
"Yes, cork-screw, Hichard 1 Fvelookcd
the house over and can't find it 1"
"Why, we never had one, Hichard I"
"Didn't ch! We've had a dozen of 'em
in tho last two years, aud I bought one not
four weeks ago. It's always the way when I
want anything."
"Hut you must ho out of your head, bus"
hand," she said, as she descended the stairs.
"We've kept house seven years, and I never
remember of seeing you bring a cork-screw
home.
"0, yes, I'm out of my head, I am I" ho
grumbled, as he pulled out tho sewing ma
chiiio drawer and turned over its contents,
"Perhaps I'd better go to the lunatic asylum
right awav."
"Well, Hichard, I know that I have never
seen a cork-screw in this house."
Then you are as blind as an owl in day
light, for 1'vo bought five or six 1 Tho

"I'd liko my mother hero to show vou a
few things," ho said, as ho stretched his
neck to look on tho high shelf in the pan-
"remaps she'd boil her spectacles with
the potatoes again 1" answered the wife.

"Do you know who you aro talkinrrto!"
ho yelled, ns he jumped down.
"Ye-, I do!"
"Well, you'll be going for York state, if
you don't look out !''
"I'd liko to se myself. Yv'hen this houso
goes!"
"Look out Nancy I"
"I am afraid of no man that lives, Hich
ard Throcton!"
"I'll lenvc you !"
"And I'll laugh to sec you go !"
Going close up to her he extended his
finger, shook it to emphasize his words, and
slowlv said :
"Nancy Throcton, I'll apply for a divorce
to-morrow. I'll tell the judge that I kindly
and lovingly asked you wliero the gimlet
was, and you said wo d never had 0110 iu tho
house, which is a bold falsehood, as lean
prove."
"Gimlet:" she gasped.
"Ye", gimlet,"
"Why, I knttw where there nro three or
four. You said cork-screw."
Did I ?" he gasped, sitting down on the
corner of tho table; "well, now, I believe 1
lid."
"And you went and abused mo like a
slave because I wouldn't sav a gimlet was a
coik-scrcw," sho sobbed, falling on the
lounge.
"Nancy," he said, tenderly lifting her
up.
"Oh, Hichard !" sho chokingly answered.
"Nancy, I II go right out of doors and
kill ni self!"
"No, you needn't I love you Mill! only-
you know a gimlet is not a cork-screw "
"It ain't Nancy; forgimnio nnd less bo
