The goat' Is a native of the vacant lots about town, and there are lots ofthetn. The goat Is omniverous. He will go-at anything he sees, and will seize anything that he may go-at. His principal food, however, is playbills. He is very fond of letters. Let us honor him for his great loveof bill letters. Tbe goat Is generous to a fault. He pre sents a pair of horns to everybody he sees. In the matter of mero cash tbe Cashmere goat is tli o most famous. Goats are fond of the outskirts of large cities i also of hoop skirts: Tho goat is noted for his bunting, but he never flags. The goat is one of the signs of the zodiac, signifying that he has a propensity to knock tliings,6ky-higlv He never gets high himself. That is to (ay, ho never gets over tho ba-a-a. Shakspeare undcrFfood the spontaneity ot the goat when he said, "Stand not upon the order of you going, but go-at once." The goat is a wide-awake animal. He is never caught noppiug, notwithstanding the many cases of kid-napping you may have read About. For many years tbe goat was the only butter known. Goats love to get upon high jocks and sun themselves. Give them a ch'ance -and tney will nhvnys seek ft sunny climb. The God Tan was a sort of half-goat. All gnats do not pan out as well as be did. Ba-a-u I ciiuiiic its um; and ad use. No, my son, cheek is not better than wis tlow ; it is not better than modesty , it is hot belter than anything. Don't listen lo the siren who tell you to blbW your own horn, or it will neyer bo tooted upon. The world is not to bo deceived by cheek, and it docs scorch for merits and when found, merit is renarded. Cheek never deceives tho world, my son. It appears to do so to tho cheeky man, but be is the one who is deceived. Do you know one cheeky man in all your ac quaintance who is not reviled for his check the moment his back is turned? Is the world not continually drawing distinctions between cheek und merit? Almost every body hates a cheeky man, my son. Society tins ut the brassy glaro of his face, the noisy assumption of forwordness. The triumphs of cheek are only apparent. He bores bis svoy along through the world, and frequent ly belter jieoplo give way for him. But so they give way, my boy, for a man with a paint pot In each hand. Not because they respect the man wilt the paint pots particu larly. butb cause tiny want totoke care Of theirclothes. You toll goods without it, and your customers won't hide in the cellar when they see you coining. Burdelte. S.TII.L iH r.wOlt OF IIUCGINR. The account of the Iowa girl who is said to have been hugged to death by her lover, has caits xl quite a sensation among theyoung ladies of Wcslfield, N, Y.( Who recently held ft meeting to devise ways and means to pre vent another case of death from hugging. Tiny unanimously passed the following preamble and resolutions; Whereas, It is reported that an fowa girl died recently in Iter lover's arms while being bugged) and, Whereas, Judglngfrom experience, we be lieve sucn a catastropby lo be utterly impos slble; therefore Resolved, That, notwithstanding (he said reported fatal result, we are still irt favor of nuggiug. we prerer lo run all risks of death rather than have (he beautiful, lovely, de lightful, perfectly elegant custom abolished. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions ue eeui to me newspapers lor publication. WnT ? It was a Boston girt v5ho asked: "Why Is it that two souls, mateoT fn'lhe Inv penetratable mystery of their nativity, Host Dy each other on the ocean currents of ex istence without being Instinctively drawn together, blended and beautified in the assi filiated alembic of eternal lovo ?' That fi an easy one. It is because butter is thirty five cents a pound and a sealskin ssraue costs as high as f 000. Tbe necessaries of life must experience a fall In price before two souls will blend In the assimilated alembic, and so forth. (Rural New Yorker.) The best people will vote for the best roan every time. And we Judge by the number of tbe St. Jacobs Oil constituency, that It is the beat remedy for the rheumatism known Prof. Tire, of BL Louis, anomg others say so. a tmoMci:!) sr. a in AN; A few days ago; says tho N. Y. IVor-ftf, a man with a bronzed face and the dress of a petty officer on shipboard, carrying, partly Concealed beneath the skirt nf hi. lardret. , good sized pnekogo, peered Into the office of u. B. Commissioner Shields and dodged back Into the hall. The commissioner called olit, " Do you want to seo irle? Come In." The man thereupon entered tbe offico and In a whisper asked Mr. Shields If ho would not like to buy a silk dress pattern orbrocho shawl very cheap. " How can you afford lo sell to low?" ask cd tho commissioner. " Wotl, the feet is," said the man In a low tone, " I don't mind telling you. I follow the seaj and I bring over a few articles with me on eVery trip, just to speculate on. O," said Commissioner Shields, " then you smuggled them. Is that It?" The bronzed stranger winked. The com missioner said he thought Mr, Drummond, on the floor above, might like lo buy asbawl, and lo the floor abovo the bronzed person went. Special Agent Drummond, of tho Treasury dcpartmcnt,eiamlnedthomau'aatoelr.whlfli was of inferior quality, yet calculated to de ceive persons knowing little of such fabrics, and when the bronzed person Intimated that it was smuggled, Mr. Drummond said i " My good man, I'm a revenue officer and shall have to put you udder arrest." The bronzed man turned yellowish ffraen. and said he had been lying. rou'll have to show the bills for this stuff,-" said Drummond. He produced Ibe bills, which svern from a chca East-side store, and as it is not an ofTense against tho custom laws to lie about domestic manufactures, be was let go. Tbo bath ot a I.oisi. The following circumstances actually oc cured In Dublin a .short time back. Mr. L was much attached to. Miss C. , the young, beautiful, and accomplished heiress to a property of Borne 13,000 per annum ; but, being himself lord of no other earthly possessions than talents and good looks, ho "never told his lovo," fearful not only of a refusal on the part of the lady to reciprooato the scutiniont.bittof the probable imputation of mercenary motives by her friends. Miss C. , however, had suffi cient penetration to discover tho genuine and disinterested affection of (he swnln, and tho highly praiseworthy sefjsitlvencss which caused hlin to shrink front his avow al. She was by no means Indisposed to en courage his suit, but tbo consciousness ot his comparative poverty rendered more than Hie ordinary encouragement given by a lady (n her suitor necessary to stimulate lilt courage lo propound the decisive inquiry. How was she,thcn, to give expression to her sentiments regarding him, without at tho same time overstepping the bonds of "maid en modesty." She proiosed a game of cards. "For what stake shall we play?" asked Mr. L. . " There's my stake," said Ihe lady throw ing down a sovereign; "if you win, you win t'i if I win, I win yourself. I am aware I have no chance of winning, though, against so expert a player as you." Mr. L was, Indeed, about Iho best player in Dublin, while his fair antagonist knew liltln or nothing of the game. Strange to say, however, on this occasion bis luck deserted him. The luor gentleman was so unfortunate as to loose both the game and himself one! tcon the htirtml Their mar riage was celebrated at St. Teter's two months ago. Tbo "Year Without il Niliilrrifcr." Many of the oldest farmers will remember the year of 1616. It has been called the "year without a stlmmci," for there was A sharp frost in every month. The farmers use to refer to it as "eighteen hundred and starve to death." January was mild, as was also February with tho exception of a few days. The greater part of March was cold and boisterous. April opened warm, but grew colder as it advanced, ending with snow and ice and winter cold. In May ice was formed half an inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen and corn killed. Frost, I co n nd snow were common in June. Al most every green" thing was killed, and the fruit was nearly all dWroyed. Snow fell to the depth of thrco inches' iri New York and Massachusetts, two in Pennsylvania and ten In Maine. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the ilh, fee was formed of the thickness of window glass iri Ne'w England, New York and Pennsylvania, and corn was nearly all destroyed in certain seetions. Iii August ico formed half an inch' thick. A cold northwest wind prevailed all summer. Corn was so frozen that a great deal was cut doivn and dried for fodder. Very littlo ripened in New England, and scarcely any in the Middle States. Farmers were obliged to pay $4 or SS a bushel for corn for seed for the next spring's planting. Tbe first two weeks In September vfere mild, the rest of the month was cold, with frost and ico. November was cold and blustering, with snow euough for good sleighing. December wus quite mild and comfortable.

Farewell I .The dawn Is rising, and the light Is making In the Last, a faint endeavor To tilumlnate the mountain peaks. Oood night I Th'no own, and only thine, my love) for ever I HE LEARNEDTOO LATE, Tho summer was like no other Summer the world bad ever known. Never was June so sweet j never were nlorilings fosy Snd radiant, never were lights so tender. A young and beautiful girl stood looking at tho stfhset, as the last farewell glow bath ed tho blue waves with golden radiance. To look at her face one would never dream that her position in life was not among the proudest; but a glance at her simple dress would dispel the Illusion. Flossy Thayer had been brought up by her grandfather in' a quiet, secluded codnlry neighborhood. The old g'ehllcma'n was wealthy. Flossy the darling of hfs heart; and great patna were lavished upon her education. The grand father's health was not good and they trav eled a great deal,- Often spending tho winter in the South. Thry had been thero when the crash came Mr. Thayer lost his money Ho was tho must honorable mail alive; he returned home, paid his liabilities to tho last farthing; sold tho benutifu) country seat w here Flossy bad spent her childhood ; es tablished himself in an old farmhouse by the sea, with hardly enough money left to : live upon. J3o for four years Mr. Thayer and his granddaughter hod lived quietly enough in their retreat. So far as the old gentleman knew, Flossy had been happy, but In trutli she was always waiting for some wonderful change that was to free her from the hum drum life in which her life was passing. But II Was nevertheless true that no palaco ever sheltered a maiden more royally fair than she. And so thought someone clsc'as he drew near her with quick, light footsteps. Tall and straight, with dark laughing eyes and mouth shadowed by a moustche,Mark Norton was Just fitted to win the fancy of a young, Inexperienced girl. "So you havo been waiting for mo?" Happy man to have won the love of one so fair and sweet. A glow of crimson tinged the girl's face as the eyes uplifted to meet her lover's told plainly what was in her heart. Whilo tho young people conversed, Mark took Flossy 's hand in his and told bcr something which made the teardrops quickly start. "Do not grieve, dear Flossy. I.shall only be gone a short time, and you know that if it were not necessary nothing could take me from you. You are not afraid that absence could alter my love? Flossy, yoti do not doubt me ?" She was young and unused to the worldnd !t is no wonder that sho trust ed Mark Norton, wbo.to hcr,was tbe noblest and grandest of men. They parted. Mark Norton, following his physician's advice, had come that summer to tbe quiot country town by the sea to regain his health, which had lofrg been delicate. Iri one of his ram bles be ba'd met Flossy, and being shy and shrinking, It bad been the w6rk of a long time to establish himself upon friendly terms with the girl, whose beauty surpassed any be bud ever BeoS. It was not long before, with a thrill of vanity, Mark could seo tho hold he had gained in her Innocent heart. One day, in answer to bis whispered ques tion. Flossy acknowledged that her heart was his, and he placed a golden band ot be trothal upon her slender finger. For a time after his departure letters from her lover eame regularly to Flossy ; but af ter awhile the- letters came less frequently, and then when three' m'ontbs had passed,the looked-for letter came. It read, oh, how coldly, and contained his farewell : "I am going abroad. I shall probably be absent several years. Our immediate marriage is now, of course, an impossibility. I could not ask you, nor do I feel it right' to hold you, through an Indefinite time, lo your pledge therefore I free you." Once, twice she read tbe letfer through then, with white face atid (earless eyes, held it to the match wilh n steady hand, nor let it fall until tho flame crept so close that It blackened tbo tender flesh, and tbe letter lay singed and charred under herfecL That day she Went into her grandfather's room, and laid hjr head on his. "Don't talk to me, grandpa," tbe said, "and don't ask me any questions, but we will keep house alone, you and I,"and we'll forget that wo intended to let anybody else in." "The scoundrel I if yoti had been ricb,my child, this sorrow would not havo como up on you. But, mark my wordr, some time you will have your revenge." Four ye iri nave swiftly passed. Seated In a room in one of the popular hoUls in New York wero two young men. Suddenly bno ol them looking out of the window ex claimed t "Look, Aubroyi Seo If you know who that lady is. What a lovely woman. Do yoti know her?" "I should think thai did, and think my self honored tbal 1 do. 'Shots tho belle of New. York, and the most bcaUllfUl girl I have ever known." A smile curled Mark Norton'i lifs ai ne turned from the Window. "You speak warmly, Aubrey," he said. "You would not blame me for speaking warmly If yod knew her," he answered, "Her history Is a roinailtlo one. If you like, I will toll It to you," "Her name ii Miss Flossy Thayer, When I first knew her sho was not wealthy ; though tn my eyes even then her beauty sur passed anything that I had ever Seen. It was not long after yoh went on your travels that an undo of mine, vJho bod purchased a place by the sea, invited me to spend the summer with hltn. It w4 n very quiet, se cluded village, and I soon became acquaint ed with Flossy. Not long t Iter that tho old grandiather died, and my kirid aunt, took the sorrowing girl into her house. My undo had tho papers in his possession of some mining shares that tho old gentleman had long deemed worthless, and which sudden ly rose,flr3t to'par.lhen so widely above as to enable Flossy to regain her footing In the world. As b'eforo, nil that the grandfather had crumbled Into powder, now all that he had left was Converted into gold. Miss Thayer came Into possession of the largo property, which in five years from' the mo ment the tide in Ml tiffaiia had turned her fortune was rcgalhed arid doubled." As Mark Norton listened, varied exprcs sions flitted across his face. Ho knew that the maiden whoso heart ho had won and cast aside for his ov?u amusement and this beautiful heiress mutt be one and tfie same. Might it not be that if he exorted his art of fascination to the utmost, ho could soon re gain the love lie had onco hold ? "Alibi ey," he tald, ''I should like to meet this Mies Thayer. Could you rflanago to' present lier to me ?" That nigli't the two' friends entered tho drafting fbomy in which a brilliant crowd was assembled. A little later Mark Norton slood beside Flossy. She had never looked more beautiful than sho did then in her creamy costumnof satin and fleecy ace,loop cd with diamond stars. "Miss Tbayef, allow tne to" present yoU lo Mr. Norton." Flossy bowed to an u'ller stranger. An instant her Hp curled, and theri she hid It in an alluring smile'. "As he has made me suffer, so shall his suffering bo." "She loves me still," thought Mark Nor ton, proudly, as, later, he went out into the starlit night. "I feared I had lost her, but I sholl Wlrf her yet. How lovely she is. I believe this tlm'o my heart Will be the stake I" With proud confidence Mark but waited the best time fitted for him to speak the fate. ful words; At last the opportunity was his. Sho smiled, as he thought, with joy as h6 asked her now to give him bia reward. Then the smile turned Into icy scorn, the look he had interpreted of love altered Into con tempt; the sweet tones grew harsh, as in a few cutting phras6s sho srioko the words that doomed him. "I lovo you, Flossy believe me, I Jove you yourself," he replied, end for once the man was sincere. A look of scorn flashed from Flossy 's oyes as she withdrew her arm from his. "Mr. Norton," she said, "your repentauco has como too late'. As I onco loved, I norf dsl- plso you 1" Mark Norton's faco flushed before tho con tempt in her voice. He felt that she had read aright the selfish motive ot his false heart. Not long after Mr. Norton received a letter and a small packet containing two cards tied together by a knot of bridal rib bon. Upon one wes tbe nome, "Flossy Thnyer ;" upon tbo other, "Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Morritt." SLTIlPItlSCn INDIANS; The toper who stole and drank a bottle of whisky (as he thought), and found it to be wins of ipecac, was one of the many thieves who swallow moro than they can keep down. The expeience of some copper-colored rob- bers out West was about as miserable as bis. An Idaho mining camp, Intending to cele brate tbe glorious Fourth, ordered a heap' of fireworks to bo cent to them. A wbolfi wag on load was forwarded, aud while on Its way was captured one night by a band of In dians. They did not exactly know what toll of property they had got hold of, and so proceeded to investigate. The chief thought the cannon crackers wero cigars, and the little ones cigarettes, which articles ho had seen in use at various camps ho had visited, and he distributed a lot around, and they all lighted up for a smoke, and in a moment a more surprised and puzzled set of red Indians never got to gether. Tbe chief had a cannon cracker, and after the explosion it was throe minutes before be could ge.t breath enough to yell, and tho Wild shriek lie gave could be heard a mile aWay. That ended the smoking. Another brave fell off tbo top of tho wagon with a big box of giant torpedoes and tbe crash that greeted bim at he alighted scared him to that be go up and off at break-neck speed. A squaw contrived Co get a pin wheel afire, and ai she dropped it on the ground tbo natural tendency of the thing (o whirl around made it go over tbe ground like a wheel of fire, sending out a shower of sparks ffnd causing tbe affrighted lady to scud away from it with bar eyes as "big as sau cers" with terror. Tha pln-whcel got under the viagon and ignited it, and the Indiana at first tried to extinguish the flames; but prelfy won a Roman candle went off, and before the man who was hit by the first ball on the nose could dap bit hand ot) the'injured member another ball wat tbroiVn there and then a third. , Then the rockeft began to go off, and take the braves iri the legs and ribs, and tbe different colored fires threw first a red and then a blue light upon tho scene. More pin-wheels yot loose, and when a brave jumped to avoid a pin-wheel he got into the air just in time to be hit by a rocket, and almost every red man wat more or less burned i and In about fivo minute a Crowd of tire worst scared and most ffaatlc Indians t ever saw was scurrying ot? in the darkness across the prairie, bellowing wjth pain and fear. Aud the next load of fireworks sent thmitgh that region wont be meddled with ; by those Indians. Biaton Post ninrrlccl I'rojilo Would lie llnpplrr; If home dials were never fold to fielgrf? bors.
