THE CAUSES OF THE EAST
filt.V WAR.
In tlio Aitiltimoro bun of a recent
ditto, we find the fullowinn:
"It lina been observed that tho duo
liirnlion of war bv Russia mraitiBt Titr-
key cxprefwes u a cnuro of tho ntiitrrol
only a tcntiincnl tlio delivoreneo of
tlio Clirwtiun tubjeeU of Tuikoy from
hid Biicieu op,retiioii8 ol Hint iowor.
All tbo troiiblviiwbicliliuvoovor cxiat-
ed botweon Runma and Turkey wero
primarily 01 a reiiL'ioti nuttiro, -thoticli
tbo Eastern queittion in its develop
ment nan puiiually booome a political
problem, involving tho existence of
some nation and tbo commercial u
premitcy of olhcrs. Uonslantino, tho
first Roman Empeiur who made tho
unriMian reuginn tlio ollieial religion
of lioino, mailoCiiiiHtantinnple tho Cap
itol ot tho Roman Empiro, and it be
came the chief city of the tircuk Church
and the seat of government. It was
captured by tho Turks in 1453, the
last By&antine Emporor, Conntuntine
.v.!., lueiug inn tne iu tin ueienso.
The Turks aro a Tartar or Jlonjjol
race, nl Japbetiu extraction, and hav
ing been driven by Tartar hordes from
Turkistan, they spn'ad themselves
over Asia Minor anil Syria and over
threw tho Empire of tho Saracens,
with whom they are often iirnortintlv
cotiloundcd. Tho Turks wuro tit one
tinio iiuddhists, afterward disciples of
.oroastor, but readily embraced .tho
fnith of Isluin, with its Bcnsmtl and
fatalist leattires. They hnvo now been
encamped in Enropo for five hundred
years, and have novor to this day bo
come one with tho nations whom they
nave conquered ; iiaro never given
them just or giwd governments, and
have never rulormed, nnd it would
seem as if it woru very dilllciilt for
tuem to reloi iii, because tlio pruioiiilcs
of their religion are a hinderiinco in
Unit direction. I he Christians ol the
northern sections of the country found
a friend in Russia, which, undor Viad
emir the Great, who was baptized in
088, and bad married tho Bister of the
hmperur I onstantino, embraced tho
doctrines of tho (jreek Church. She
became tbo champion ol tho Greek
faith, and, lt,m the beginning, ber aim
was to recapture Constantinople and
to repossess nnd round out tho bound
aries of the Etistcrn or (ircek Empire
It is not to ho denied thnt commercial
nnd political ascendancy wero embrac
ed in her purposes, and consequently
the commercial nations ot the West
shaped their policy to oppose such a
consummation.
A review of tho political history of
iiussia win show that tho religious
sentiment has always been an clement
of her policy towards Turkey. Tho
sympathy she has shown with every
nsurroctionary movement In Turkey
has been bceauso the rebels were
(,'hristiansof tho Greek Church. When
she conquered Moldavia and Wallachia
she compelled Turkey to. grant con
cessions to tho Christians, of other
Nortborn provinces. Tbo Enirlish his
torian, Kinglako, contends that the
origin of tho Crimean war in 1M51 was
a quarrel between tho Greek and tho
Latin churches as to privileges nt Je
rusalem. Turkey favoring the Latin
Church, Russia took up tho old quarrel
of tho Greek Church, and cluiming
that existing treaties bad boon viola
ted, invaded Turkey. England and
1' ranee lormod an alliance with Tur
key in tbe interest of Western Europe
1 ho result ot Uio deleat ol KUBSia in
that war was tho treaty ol Paris, in
which tho Eastern question was taken
out of her hands and committed to the
great powers of Europe. It must havo
been observed that Russia, throughout
the controvoray ol words with 1 urkev
in tho present dispute, has spokon of
the question aa one in which r.uropo
was as much committed to tho protec
tion of tho Christians as hersell, Ser-
via Itself was a creation of tho treaty
of Paris, and was placed under tlio
frotoctiott of European powers. Tho
lorr.cgovinian insurrection of two
years ago was tho rebellion of tho
Christians of that province gainst
Turkish taxation and persecution.
European intorforonce actually led to
tho adoption by Turkey of a now con
stitution and an announcement of her
intention to carry out reforms herself,
but Russia held that this was a mere
promise and demandod that certain
plans should bo followed, which Tur-1
key rejected. Meantimo, howovor, a
Turkish Parliament under tho new
constitution, has met, with a minority
of Christian delegates in it. Iiussia,
being still dissatisfied, proposed a pro
tocol suggesting ' a basis of peaco,
which turkey also rejected, denying
tho right of Europo to dictate absolute
policy to the 'lurkish government.
Russia then, proceeded to enforeo by
tbo sword the demands for reform
made by herself, or rather to enter
upon the forcible protection of the
Porto's Cbriijtian -subjects. In every
European province ol tho Turkish Em
piro except Prissend and Scutari and
the Metropolitan district tho Moham
medans aro in n minority. Tho an
cient Turkish policy was to crush and
virtually enslavo tho conquered Chris
tians. It gavo them ncithrr tolera
tion or consideration. Tho interfer
ence ol Iiussia has secured a modifica
tion of this policy, but she is not satis
fied with the sincerity of Turkey in
her promisos ol reform. About six
millions of those Cbristiuns in Turkey
belong to the Greek Church. .
Jt is strango that a religion whose
cardinal principle is the lorgiveness of
enemies should on so commonly per
verted by nations, sects and individu
als into an instrument of strife. The
depravity of human nature novel had
a more torcihlo illustration thtn this.
At tho siimo timo, wlnlo rohgion is tho
only motlvo assigned in tho Russian
declaration ol war, and is no doubt up
permost in thd minds of tho Russian
people, no ono oan suspect that the
main design of the Russian govern
ment ia any other than, to extend its
territory and powor perhaps by first
securing the independence ol certain
provinces. . ,
In a Shape to re Answered. In
Olio ol tho courts in this city, two or
throe days ago, there came np for trial
a case in which a Chinaman was tho
complaining witness against a white
man. Jlliring tho impanelling of the
jnry one of the attorneys questioned
oloHcly tho men summoned aa jurors,
to ascertain their viowa on the ChlneNo
question. Ho asked ono of thorn :
"Wonld ynn bellcvo a Chinaman under
oath f Tbo witness responded In the
afflrmatlro. "Wonld yott holievo a
Chinaman as'qnickly as yon would a
white manf" "Well (hesitatingly), I
wonld believe him os soon as I would
some' white men." "That isn't en an
swer to my question. I now ask yon,
and I desire a categorical answer, would
yon believe a Chinaman as soon as yon
wonld believe me, or the attorney for
tho defenso, for instance T" ""Oh, yes,
sir ; certainly !" Tbo attorney did not
appear to leel much better after hoi
found out. Hwrtmnto Vtnnti. ' j
CLEARFIELD,
JOE S HEAVY CATCH.
Tho stream that Daniel Webster
lovod was famous for trout, and bo
was lumous for catching them. Often
ho would sit fur horn's on a moss-covered
stone in a retired nook, his lino
dnngling iu and shove tho water, but
never a bile, and if thcro bad been, tho
fish wits safe, for ho was entirely un
conscious of all around and about him.
Ono warm and sultry morning in July,
while thus absorbed, ho was amused
by hearing over tho stream :
"Hullo, thoro I hullo, I say I How
aroyo? Nico morning this I Got any
lishr Have any bites? How dye
get over thoro ? I've boon fishing two
hours ; nary bilo. 1 Bee you bavo long
boots on ; what II you tuko to carry
me over? Don't wunt lo get my leet
wet. I 11 pay you well ; what II you
take ? " .
Hero bo paused long enough for Mr.
Webster, who hail uir .tliis. timo been
surveying tho speaker (a slight-built,
dandified youth), to ask :
" What will you givo ? " (
"Well, a quarter; that's enough,
ain't it ?"
" Well, sir; I suppose it is."
So, quietly laying down his rod, he
took bis way to our Boston boy, Joo
I)., who, by tho way, was as good a
fellow as over sold tuiio ; he was now
on a tli roo days' furlough, and bound
to crowd all tho fishing, sea-bathing,
and sight seeing seasons into tbe allot
ted threo days' time, aud ono wos rap
idly nassiiiLF awav. .Mr. Webster
seated himself on the bank, joo mount
ed his shoulders, and, like Ciesur, w bora
Cassius from the raging Tiber bore, so
Joe upon tho god-liko shoulders Bnfely
crossed thostream. Thequartcrquickly
changed bands. Mr. Webster quietly
settled into his accustomed seat, while
Joo, on lurlhcr pleasure bent, hastened
up tho stream.
I n cu and hungry, ho returned rather
Iato lor dinner, and passed into the
dining hall, where tho guests wera.cn
gaged in tho lust act of tho drama.
Cur llostonian, however, fell to with
an appetite, sharpened by his morning
exercise, and with a lull determination
to make up with speed what ho bad
lost in time. So intent upon his own
ull'ttirs was he that ho took no notice
ol those around the tirhle, unlil somo
ono requested Mr. Webster to rclnto
his morning adventures. Joo looked
up, nnd followed with his own tho direc
tion of all other eyes, ho beheld his
morning .r.neas. 1 urmng to his near
est neighbor, ho asked :
"Who Is that?"
" That? Why that's Dan'! Webster!'
' He found no further nso lor his knifo
and fork, and was silently leaving the
tablo, when air. tvebstor now recog
nized bim ; with a look or nod
(Joo could novor tell which), ho de
tained him and requested him lo tuko
wino. Joo took tlio wino with a trem
bling hand, and, with a look of earnest
entreaty, begged Mr. Webster not to
relato tho circumstance which occur
red in tho mornine.
Mr. Webster replied : " You should
not bo ashamed of tbo adventuro, since
there is no young man in this country
however lofty his aspirations, that will
be likoly to attain tho position you this
morning occupied.
Joo lelt tho tablo and tho house, and
on the first train left tho town.satish
ho bad dono enough for ono season.
In tho evening Mr. Wobstor related
the whole affair to the assembled guests,
nnd to this day Joo enjoys the sobri
quet of "Dan." From the Golden Jlule.
A RUN FOR LIFE. '
A Tliail.I.lNll STORY OP A CONFEDERATE
i.ieitesant's adventure.
Major McCltllan, Confederate, In Philadelphia
Times.)
fbo Frank Stringfollow, whoso ad-
vonturo is described ' in this extract,
has since Ihe war entered the Minis
try in tlio Protestant Episcopal Church
Ho was Gen. Jeb Stuart's favorite ser
vant. Ed.
Tho socond adventure which I havo
Siromiscd to relato occurred when tho
odoral army occupied Culpepper Court
House, and tbo Conledoralc army lay
in Orango county, Virginia. General
Lee desired certain information which
it seemed could best be obtained by an
individual scout, and blringtullow was
selected for tho sorvico. It was nec
essary be should penctrato tho enemy's
camps, remain concealed us long as
possihlo, and return when bo bad col
iectcd tbo desired information. His
operations woro to bo conducted most
ly at niL'ht. llo wished to bo accom
panied by two men, one of whom, Fnr-
nali by name, had his homo in the im
mediate vicinity of tho enemy's camps.
and being intimately acquainted with
all the country, could accurately guide
him from place to place in the nighlas by
daylight. Tho expedition was under
taken on loot, as tho distance was not
great, and concealment was ol prime
impoitanco. Tho men woro clad In
their tiwn uniform as scouts, not spies.
Tho country was a difficult ono for tho
operations of a scout. From tbo long
and frannont occupation by both tho
contending armies tho land had been
almost entirely denuded of its timber,
and only heio and' there a few Ihin
clusters of trees remained standing.
One day had passed since they bad en
tered Ihe enemy's lines, nnd with

A RI M FOR LIKE.
But though victor in this fight, per
ns multiplied themselves around bim
Tbo trees among which bo stood woro
surrounded on every Bido by open fields
dotted quite thick with tho enemy's
tcntB, somo close at hand. Concealment
was quite Impossible, and bo must run
for his lite; but run in what direction
he might, onoruks would be euro to in
terccpt his course, for tho adiucont
camps bad been aroused by tbo firintr,
and tbo soldiers who bad cscancd would
bo sure to roltirn with others to avenge
tuo (loam ot their comrades. At a dis
tance ol a low hundred yards, a littlo
branch made its way -through tho open
fields toward tho rivor. Its banks
wero fringed with bushes, and whilo it
offered only an utterly forlorn hopo,
Mtringfellow turned toward it and ran.
Ho was seen by thosowho had already
started for bis capturo ; seen to cross
Uio open field ; seen to enter the busb
orr tho bunk of tho stream. And now
vindictivo shouts announced that the
enemy felt secure of their prey. But
not so l Entering the bed of tbe stream,
a kind Providence guided him to a spot
where tho waters had hollowed out tor
him a hiding place, behind tho roots of
an old stump. Underneath tho bank
and behind l hose roots ho forced his
body, having hastily colloetod what
driftwood was within reach still further
to conceal his person ; and thcro bo
lay, naif covered with tho water and
mud, and awaited the result.
From every direction men wero
hurrying to the spot with the perfect
assurance that tho daring enemy would
soon bo within their powor. For long,
long hours did scores of searchers con
tinue to examine every foot of the brush
that lined tho stream. Many times
did hostile feet passdirectly ovorSlring
fellow's body, and once a man, moro
inquisitivo than tho others, stopped,
whilo walking in the bod of tho stream,
to cxamino the very spot whero he lay.
But tho driftwood which bo had skill
fully arranged for his concealment de
ceived tbo man, and he passed on with
out making tho discovery. Toward
afternoon the search slackened, and by
nigbtlall it was abandoned. But not
until the noisoof tho camps was bushed
in slumber did Stringl'ellow duro to
leavo his retreat. Then following for
somo time tho course of the stream, ho
passed in safety out of tho oncmy's
lino, swam tho liapidnn between tho
pickets, iiuaI, thankful to God for bis
delivorttnco, found himself onco moro
among his friends.
THE COSSACK.
Tlio (.ulaU corrospoiidoiit of a New
York paper contains tbo following
sketch : I no Lossaek s not a very
savory gentleman, and Galatz is a fine
place tor taking the edge off ono s sen
sibilitios regarding smells, and we can
got to windward ol tho Cossack if wo
wish to inspect him, which is more than
we can do in regard to tho Galntz
drains. Friend Cossack is a httlochap,
about nve loot uvo, oven on his high
heels, but at onco sturdy and wiry,
His weather-beaten faeo is shrewd,
knowing and merry. His eyes are
small, but keen; his mouth largo and
between it and his pug noso rather
render man the rest ol his lace is a
tuft or wisp of straw-colored mustache,
Ilia long, straight hair matches his
moustacho in color, and is cut shocr
round by tbo nape of his neck. He
wears a round oil-skin pcakless shako
with a knowing cock to tho right, to
maintain which anglo thoro is a strap
around his chubby chin. Below the
nock the Cossack is all boots and groat
coot, which is ol thick gray heavy
blanketing, comes down below bis
knees; bis boots como up to them.
Ho is moro armed than any man of
his inches in Europo, is our littlo Cos
sack friend, and could afford to loso a
weapon or two and yet bo an avoragely
dangerous customer. Weapon num
ber one is tbo long black llauless luneo,
with its venomous head, that seems
itching to make daylight through
somebody, llo carries a carbine, slung
in an oil-clotb cover, on his back, tho
stock downward. In his belt is a long
and well-made revolver in a leather
caso, and from tho belt hangs a curved
sword with no guard over its hilt.
Through tho chinks of his great coat
are visible glimpses of a sheepskin un
dercoat with the bair worn insido to
day at noon tbe thermometer was over
71) in tho sun. His whip completes bis
personal appurtenances ; ho wears no
spurs, lie. rides cocked up in a high
saddle, with a leathern band strapped
over it, a wiry little rot of a pony,
with no middle piece to speak ot, with
owo nock and a iiaunt, iiroiecting

fetlocks, shelly feet, and a gonoral as

A KNOCK-DO WN A RGUMEXT
FOR THE 11 EA THEN.
The othor day, when tho wind
whistled sad toned jigs around tbo Bat
tery, a littlo old man entered a saloon
in that vicinity and asked tho bar
keeper if ho could leavo somo tracts
there.
A whole car load, If you want to,"
was tbo prompt reply, and tho littlo
old man placed a package on a heor
tablo and sottly said :
"There's no nobler causo than tho
causo of tho heathen. Wo should all
contrihtito a small part of our worldly
wealth to shed tho Gospel light across
tho seas.
A pair of boxing gloves wore soltly
reposing on a tablo, and the littlo old
man felt them and went on :
"It makes mo sad to see such sinful
things lying around whon tbe cost of
one glove might save a doccn souls In
A fries."
Tliroo or four ol tho hoys had drop
ped In, and tho saloon-keeper winked
at them and replied:
"Do yon want to earn 1.1 for the
heathen?"
"Verily, I do."
"Put on the gloves with mo and
knock me down and I'll anto up cash
enough to convert a wholo regiment
of African sinners,"
"The causo is noble, the Inducement
REPUBLICAN,
front," mused tbe littlo old man, as
o toyed with tho gloves.
Tho boys encouraged bim to go in,
desiring to sco him knocked wrong
end np, and ho finally got out of bis
overcoat with tho oxplunntion :
"It can't bo a sin to box lor tho
causo ol tho heathen."
The Baloonist meant to lift him over
ono of tho tables at tho first blow, but
tho blow was warded off handsomely,
and tbo littlo old man sighed :
"Ah urn! Tho healhon walk In
wickedness and they hnvo souls to be
saved !"
"Look out now I" cried tlio suloon
ist, as he got in a letl-bnnder.
"Verily, 1 will, nnd 1 will givo thee
one in return for the heathen."
Ho struck a staggering blow, and
tho saloonist didn't leulquito so enthu
siastic as on the start, llo took tho
dofbnsivo, and ho soon bad all the work
ho could do.
"Thai's another for tho ignorant
minds on tho far-off shore 1" as bo
knocked tho saloonist against tho wall.
There wasn't any "science" about
him, but ho struck to kill, and bis arms
wero flying around liko the spokes of
a wagon-whocl.
'Don t crowd a feller, called out the
saloonist as ho was being driven back,
and he got mad and put in bis hardest
licks. lie meant to smash tho little
old man's noso as flat as window glass,
but ho could not do if. Ho got in two
or threo fair hits, and was beginning
to regain his courago when the aged
stranger sorrowfully remarked :
My friend, the heathen call, aud I
cannot tarry much longer. Take this
one, and may It broaden your views
on tho heathen question. Receive this
ono in tho spirit tendered, uud you
may be euro tho a shall be a beacon
light as tnr as it will go."
llo delivored two Bledge liammcr
blows, right and left, and the saloonist
got the last on the ear as ho dodged
the first. He went over in beautiful
style, and as ho slowly regained bis
feet he felt in his rest pocket for tho
wagor.
If you II conio around here to-night
and do that again 1 It doublo the mon
cyl ho growled, as ho paid tho
wager.
"My road points towards Hosting,
softly replied the old man, "and I can
not tarry. Let us part friendly, for 1
only boxed Iheo for the heathen's
sake. I garo to thee, thou bust given

GARDEN TOPICS.
I havo often transplanted grape
vines as late as the 1st of June, after
tho leavos wero as largo as a dollar,
and they did well. Tho leaves will
wilt and drop off, but new ones will
grow speodily ; and in tho lall the
vines aro apparently as good as If set
earlier; but tho proper time to set
thorn is in May before the vines have
leaved out. Novor buy old vines,
thinking to obtain a crop of fruit a
year or two earlier than from those
two and threo years old, tho limit in
age that vines should bo re-set. Cut
tings set to produce young vines should
be shaded a littlo with bay or grass
fill they tako root, which is not till
luto in Juno. When the thermometer
is in tho nineties in the shade, tho heat
of tho sun will often kill the buds of
cuttings that have not tukon root. A
the canes to your old vines grow, so
as to bo in danger of being broken off
by high winds, they should bo tied to
tho trelhs ; and a watch kept on them
till July, tying the new canes as need
ed. .Most vines overbear, and if tho
smallest clusters bo cut out, so as to
leavo about two thirds ol tho fruit that
set, tho lomaindcr will bo better in
quality, and equal to tho whole quan
tity, il none had been cut out.
Beans, melons and squashes may be
planted as Into as July 1, and will pro-
iluco good crops. Tho succession of
pens and green corn should not bo neg
lected. Plant corn every two weeks
till July, and peas till the middle of
Juno, and they should bo planted con
siderably deeper in hot weather than
in tho spring. Good crops may bo
grown in rows threo feot apart with
out any bushing, but thoy yield better
by bushing. Make the drills so that
tho peas will covor a width in the
drills about threo inches wide. Winter
cabbages should not bo set before July
1st, and it should not bo grown two
years in succession in the sume place.
If your currant bushes aro attacked by
worms, as they aro in many localities,
whito hellebore is a sure remedy. A
spoonful dissolved in a pail of water
and sprinkled upon t,ho bushes from a
watering-pot will bo effective; but be
careful that this solution does not go
upon your strawberries in fruit, as it
is a strong poison. You can kill the
slugs on your dwaii pear trees bj tho
uso of this current-worm remedy.
Paris green oporates in about tho same
way. When you hnvo dono cutting
your asparagus it should bo allowed to
go to seed, and not disturbed till full.
It is advisable to grow all of your own
seeds, and then yon havo what you
can depend on. A part of a row of
Kens should be saved for seed or a few
ills of corn, and a singlo cabbage, car
rot, beet, parsnip, turnip, ic.,"will sup
ply all the seed needed in an ordinary
garden. Tomatoes aro much benefited
by bushing them to keep tbe vinos off
tho ground. Cut brush about two feet
high when set, and stick down four ot
them whon your tomatoes begin lo
noed support quito closo to tbo plants,
and you will soo bow finoly the plun
operates. If you bavo celery plant,
il ia not necessary to sot them in
trenches, as was the old custom, but
they may bo grown on the surface of
tho ground ; and at the proper time
the earth may be banked np against
them, as is dono by markot-gardonors
by running a double mould-board
plough between the rows. In working
your garden "take timo by tho fore
lock," and don't allow tho weeds to get
ahead of yon. A clean, woll cu Itivated
garden is an ornament to a place, and
tho garden is generally an index to
the habits of its owner.

CLEOPA TRAS NEEDLE.
Cleopatra's Needle is to be removed at
last from Alexandria to r.ngland, nnd
the following account of tho mot hod to
be adopted is given by the Jjondon
1 imrs : ,
"Tbo sand is lo be cleared away and
tho obelisk set square parallel with tbo
existing sea wall. An iron cylinder
linishcd oil to a chiseled edge, with
sufficient diaphragm togive it strength,
is to bo constructed round the obelisk,
which is to lio in tho long axis of tho
cylinder, and to be wedged nnd calked
where it passes through tiic diaphragms
so as to divide into water-tight com
partments.
"Tho cylinder. is to bo ninety-live
feel long by fifteen feet in diameter,
and will havo a draught of nine feet of
water when afloat. All being water
tight, it will be rolled into tho sea, and
across tho sandy bed of the water till
it floats. It will then bo turned over
and tho man holes at tho top opened
and about thirty tons of ballust put in
to keep tbo ends Verticnl, so as to net
liko stem and stern. It will then havo
two bilge keels, a rudder, light spar
deck, mast nnd lug Bails attached, nnd
be provided with an anchor and good
chain cables, nnd, if necessary, a pump
in enso of lenkago. The cylinder ship
will then bo fit to go to any port of the
world with its freight and in any
weather. -
"The cost ot this operation will
amount to about $15,000. Tho obelisk
in its caso will bo towed over during
tho summer months and laid aside tbo
Thames Embankment on a platform
properly prepared and lilted high
enough to clear tho parapet, nnd tho
bilgo keels and other additions being
stripped off, tho cylinder will bo rolled
to tho proposed site and then stripped
off tlio obelisk,-which will bo ready to
bo elevated to its pedestal, an operation
which will be simply effected by means
ol a lew bulks ot timber and two smull
hydraulic rams. 1 ho whole cost is not
to exceed (50,000, and that of tho obe
lisk at Paris is said to havo been
1100,000." '

INSTINCT OF WILD GEESE.
Tho St. Louis RermbUcan says : "Dr.
Lankford, who returned a day or two
since iroin the south-eastern pnrt ol
the State, mentions the following curi
ous fact in natural history. He gives
uio statement on the authority ot Mr.
W. li. Smith,' a leading farmer and
miller living near Morley, in Scott
county, Mo. About a year ago, Mr.
Smith captured two young wild geeso
and raised them with tho balance of
his domestic goslings. Tho wild onos
became quite tame and took kindly to
tho changes of civilized life. They
adapted their habits to tho ordinary
delights of tho barn yard, and swam in
tbo pond with tho tamo goose, with
out showing a disposition to go on a
wild gooso chase. At length, about
the 1th ol November, the weather be
gan to change, and after boing domesti
catcd somo bight months the wild fel
lows, prompted by an instinct to seek
a more sunny climo on tho approach
of winter, spread their wings to the
orcexe ana started on a migratory
lour, nying southward, iheir depar
ture was natural and to bo expected,
After an absence of somo two or three
months, early in January, great was
Mr. Smith s surprise to find, on getting
up ono morning, that tho two wild
geeso had returned to their old haunts
on his furm. Thy not only rctnniod,
but 1 1 more wild gocse came with them
as visitors, which wero piloted safely
irom some southern bayou. Ihe now
comers mado themselves at home, and
wero fed and fondled by tho children.
They come up to the mill at feeding
time to get their rations, and gabblo all
together, and put on all tho airs of
civilized geeso who havo had a good
moral training."

"I don't like your way of hollering

"I say get off tho track !"
"And 1 say 1 won't !"

"When you apologize, I will."
He was in a fix. His car was full,

COMIX' THRO THE RYE.
An illustrated periodical, somo time
ago, published an illustration of "Com
in' Thro' the Rye," and blunders Into
what we proanmo it the popular mis
conception of the ditty, giving a laddie
and lassio meeting and kissing in a
field of grain. Tho lines,
If laddie meet a laaeie,
Comia' ihro' the rye,
and especially tbo other couplet,
. A' tbe Uda that smile oa me I
When oomla' tbrn' the rye, ,
seem" to imply that traversing tho rye
was an habitual or common thing ; and
the song, perhaps, suggests a harvest
seeno, where both sexes, as is the cus
tom in Great Britain, are at work reap
ing, and whero they would como and
go through the rye itself, so as to
meet and kiss in it. .
Tho truth is, tbo ryo in tbo caso is
no moro grain than Ryo Beach is, it
being tho nanio of a small, shallow
stream near Ayr, in Scotland, which,
having neither bridgo nor ferry, was
forded by people going to and from tbe
market, custom allowing a lad to steal
a kiss from a lass of his acquaintance
whom he met mid stream. Our con
