I wag rather green, and perhaps showed it in my looks. After a long walk which I had taken to see the sights, I had wandered in to a quiet sort of a street wliero I stood wondering which way to go to roach my hotel. Just at that moment a forlorn looking woman carrying a largo bundle ap proached mo and said: "Mister, I'm a poor woman, and my husband's so sick he ain't able to do any work, aud me and my poor little children is almost starvin' for bred. Won't you bo good enuff to give me two shillin's?'' I looked at her a bit, and scs I: " Han't you got no relations nor neigh bors that can help you?" "Oh, no, sir; I'm too poor to have rcla tiong or neighbors. I wag better off onco, and then I had plenty of friends." "That's the way of the world, thinks I; wo always have friends till wo need 'em. "Oh, sirl if you only know'd how hard I have to work, you'd pity mc I know you would." "What do you do for alivin'?" scs 1,1 for she looked too delicate to do much. "I do fine washin' and ironin'," seg she; "but I'm sick so much that I can't make enulT to support us." And then she coffed, a real graveyard co!T. "Why don't you git sonio of Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup ?" scs I. " Oh, sir 1" scs she, " I'm too poor to buy mcdicin', when my poor little children is (lyin'for bred." That touched me to think that flich a delicate young cretur us her should have to struggle so hard, and I tuck out my purso and gin her a dollar. "Thar," scs I, " that will help you a lit tle" "Oh! bless you, sir, you're so kind. Now I'll buy some mcdicin' for my poor husband. Will you bo good enuff to hold this bundle for me till I stop back to that drug store on the corner? Its so heavy I'll be back in a minnit," scs she. I felt so sorry for the poor woman that I couldn't refuse her sich a little favor, so I tuck her bundlo to hold it for her. She said sho was 'fraid the lino dresses might git rumpled, and then her customers wouldn't pay ber; so I tuck 'em in my arms very careful, and sho went to the store alter the mcdicin'. There was a good many people passiu' by, and I walked up from the corner a lit tle ways, so they shouldn't seo mo standin' thar with the bundlo in my arms. I begun to think it was timo for tho woman to cum back, and the bundle was beginin' to get pretty heavy, when I thought I felt sum- thin' movin' in it. I stopped lite still; and hold my broth to hear if it was anything, when it begun to squirm about more and more, and I heard a noise just like a tom cat in the bundle. I never was so surprised in my life, and I cum in an ace of lcttin' it drop rite on the pavement. Thinks I, in tho namo of creation what is it? I walked down to the lamp-post to see what it was, and, Mr. Thompson, would you beliove me, it wot a live baby ! I was so completely tuck aback that I staggered up agin a lamp post, and held on to it, while it kicked and squalled like a young pantor, and the sweat jest poured out of me in a stream. What on earth to do I didn't know. Thar I was in a strange city, whar nobody didn't know mo, out in the street with a little young baby in my arms. I never was so mad at a female woman before in all my life, and I never felt so much like a dratted fool as I did that minit. I started for the drug store, with the baby squallin' like rath, and the more I tried to bush it the louder it squalled. Tho man what kept the store sed he hadn't seen no such woman, and I mustn't bring no babies in thar. By this time a everltistin' crowd of peo plo men and wimmin was gathered around, so I couldn't go no whar, all gab blin' aud talkiu' so I couldn't hardly hour the baby squall. I told 'em bow it was, aud told 'em I was a stranger in New York, and az'd 'em what I should do with the baby. But thar was no gettin auy sense out of 'em, and none of 'em wouldn't touch it no roore'n if it had been so much piseu. " That won't do," ses one feller. " You can't come that game over this crowd." " No, indeed," seg another little rusty lookin feller "we've, got enuff to do to take care of our own babies in these dig gin's." " Take your baby home to its ma," said another, " and support it like an 'onest man." I tried to get a chance to explain the bus iness to 'em, but drat the word could I git in edgeways. . .; , "Take 'em both to the Tooms," sei one, "and make 'em give an account of them selves." With that two or three of 'em cum toward me, and I grabbed my cane in one hand, while I held on to the bundle with tho other. " Gentlemen," ses I the baby squeellu' all the timo like forty cats in a bag-" Gen tlemen, I'm not gwine to be used in no sich way. I'll let you know that I'm not gwine to be tuck to no Tooms. 1 I'm a stranger in your city, and I'm not gwine to support none of your babies. My namo is Joseph Jones, of Pincvillo, Georgia, and anybody what wants to know who I am, can find me at the American " " Major Jones," ses a clover-lookin' man, what pushed bis way into tho crowd when he hoard my name, " Major, don't bo dig turbed in the least," scs he; " I'll soon have this matter fixed." With that he spoke to a man with a leath er ribbon on his hat, who tuck tlie baby, bundlo and all, and carried it off to the place what they'vo got mado in Now York a purpose to keep sich poor little orfans in. Tho Esquimaux Dog. The most valuable domestic animal in Kamtschatka is tho dog. During winter they arc fed with dried fish every morning and evening, but whilo traveling they got nothing to cat, ovon though they run for hours. Their strength is wonderful. Gen erally no more than five of them are har nessed to a sledge, and will drag with ease three full-grown persons, and sixty pounds "fluggago- When lightly ladcned, such a sledge will travel from thirty to forty miles a day over bad roads and through the deep snow ; on even roads, from eighty to one hundred and forty. During a snow storm, the dogs keep thoir master warm, and will lie quietly noar for hours, so that he has merely to prevont the snow from covering him too deeply and suffocating him. The dogs are also excel lent weather prophets, for when, whilo resting, they dig holes in the snow, a storm may,, with certainty bo expected. Tho sledgo-dogs aro trained to their futuro service at a very early period. Boon after birth they aro placed with their mother in a deep pit, so as to see neither man nor beast, and after having been weaned they aro again condemned to sol itary confinement in a pit. After six months they aro attached to a sledge with other older dogs, and being extremely shy, they run as fast as they can. On returning home, they aro again confined in their pit, where they remain until they are perfectly trained, and able to porform a long journey. Then, but not beforo, they are allowed their summer liberty. This severo education completely sours their temper, and they constantly remain, gloomy, shy, quarrelsomo and suspicious. Animal Sagacity. The workmen in tho cngine-houBO of tho New Haven railroad wore greatly amused, a fow days ago, by the movemonts of a weasel that had killed a rat nearly as large as himself in one of tho engine-pits. The side of tho pit being porpondicular, and tho rat too heavy for the weasel to carry up in his tooth, the question arose how ho should get him out. It looked like a difficult task, but tho weasel was equal to tho emergency. After several unsuccessful attempts to shoulder tho rat and climb up the sido, he laid him down and went about to the dif ferent corners on a tour of inspection. Finally selecting one in which sufficient dirt had accumulated to make an elevation of several inches, ho went back, dragged tho rat to the corner, and stood him upon his hind legs. Ho then clambered out of the pit, and going to tho corner, whore he had left tho nit, let himself down by tlie hind feet, from above, clasped the rat around the neck with bis fore paws, pulled him up and trotted off with him to bis hole. Tho weasel is one which made its appear ance at the shop Bome time ago, and which by being unmolested, has become quite tame. Opringfield Republican. Another Solomon. Judgo Cush once had a dog case, in which tlie ownership of tho canine was in dispute. The evidence was conflicting, aud tho Judgo became confused. "Stopl" said he; "stop right there, we'll settle tho matter very shortly. You Mr. Plaintiff, go out into tho far corner of the room out there. You Mr. Defendant, come into this corner up hero. Now both of you whistle, and Mr. Clork, let loose the dog." So said, so done ; but tho dog sprang between tlie legs of the bystanders and " scooted" out of the door. "Very extraordinary I very extraordi nary I" said the Judge. " I can't under stand that. Mr. Clerk on tlie whole, as tlie plaintiff couldn't prove his case when, I gave him the chance, you may enter judgment for the defendant." An Irish surgeon who had couched a cataract and restored the Bight of a poor woman, in Dublin, observed in her com what bo deemed a phenomenon in optics, on which he called together his professional bretheren, declaring himself unequal to the solution. lie stated to them, the sight of his patient was so perfectly restored, that she could see to thread the smallest needle, or perform any other operation which required particular accuracy of vision. But that when he presented her with a book, " she was not capable of dis tinguishing one letter from another." This very singular cose excited the ingenuity of all the gentlemen presont,and various sola tious were oiJered, but none could com maud tho general assent. Doubt crowed doubt; and the problem grew darker at every explanation, when at length, by a question to the servant who attended, it was discovered that the woman had net&r learned to read t ' ENIGMA DKPABTMEST. A lady was imprisoned In a ! : Castle surrounded by two very '. V j high walls, which were 40 i j : feet apart. Her lover, detor- ; ;. ! mined to rescue her, succecd- : ed In getting on to the outer ! wall with two clanks each 89 feet in length. Of course they were too short to reach across, and he had no means of Join ing them, neither did he dare to descend Into the space between the walls. Yet as he was a good mathematician, he succeeded In reaching the Inner wall by the use of his planks. How did he do It 1 1ST Answer to Enigma of last week i " Worth makes the man, and want of It, the fellow." A l?rophesy. Mother Shtpton's prophesy is almost for gotten, except by antiquarians. It was first published in 1488, and republished next in 1011. It must be confessed that the great est part of it has been fulfilled, and we have only ten years to wait in order to de termine whether the concluding lines will prove as true as tho earlier ones. Theso are Mother Shipton's words : Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woo, ' Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do, . , Now strange, yot shall be true, The world upside down shall be, And gold bo found at root of tree, Through hills men shall ride, And no horse or ass be at his side. Under water mcu shall walk ; Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In tho air men shall be seen, In white, In black, In green. Iron In the water shall flout As easy as a wooden bout. Gold shall be found, and found In a land that's not known. Fli c and water shall wonders do; England shall at last admit a Jew. The world to an end shall como In nineteen hundred and eighty-one. A Stronger Indeed. As Artemus Ward was onco traveling in tho cars, dreading to bo bored, and feeling miserablo, a man approached him, sat down and said : " Did you hear that last thing on Horace Greeley?" "Grecloy? Greeley?" said Artemus; " Horace Greeley ? Who is he ?" The man was quiet about flvo minutes. Pretty soon ho said : " Gcorgo Francis Train is kicking up a good deal of a row over in England ; do you think they will put him in a bastilc?" "Train? Train? GeotgeFrancis Train?" said Artemus, solemnly, " I never beard of him." This ignorance kept tho man quiet for fifteen minutes, then ho said : "What do you think about General Grant's chances for tho Presidency? Do you think they will run him?" "Grant? Grant? hang it, man," said Artemus, "you appear to know more strangers than any man I over saw." The man was furious ; he walked up the car, and at last came back, and said : "You confounded ignoramus I did you ever hear of Adam ?" Artemus looked up and said : " What was his other name?" Saved by Ills Dog. A Western woodsman recently found himself helplessly pinned to the ground by a prematurely falling 'tree. Ho was a great distance from home, and, in a few hours would doubtless have died from the pain and exposure, had not a little whining cur who had missed his master, aud tracked him to his wood prison, begun a mournful howl as a possible relief from tho dreary monotony of the situation. This suggested to tho suffering man something of the story book kind, and calling to his littlo pet be smeared his shaggy face with blood, and bade him return home for help. Tho littlo creaturo evidently realized tho impor tance ofhis mUMon, for he trotted home forthwith, and breaking in upon the as tounded household, gave the first alarm. Ha led tho way buck to the wounded man, and in an ccstacy of whines attested his satisfaction at the deliverance. Two Kinds. There are two kinds of gills. One U the kind that npiears best abroad, the girls that aro good for parties, rides, visits, balls, ect., and whoso chief delight is in such things. The other is the kind that apjiears best at home, tho girls that are useful and cheerful ill tho dining-iooin, the sick-room, and all tho precincts of home. They differ widely In character. One is a moth, con suming everything about her; the other is a sunbeam, inspiring life aud gladness all along the pathway. Now it does not nec essarily follow that there shall be two classes of girls. Tho right education would modify them both a littlo, and unite thoir characters in one. ' ... t3! A " pussen of cullah," of the female persuasion, was asked, a few days since, why she never wore white, as black women generally are fond of decking themselves out in snowy apparel. "Raise," said sho, " I alius thinks a white dress makes a nig ger look like a fly In a pan of milk." tW He that swells in prosperity, will be sure to shrink in adversity. Curious Instinct of tho Bees. ; aaa.laa HONEY-BEES arc governed by instinct not by art. They never deviate from the course they were created in. The first comb they ever built was as perfect as at the present day; no art has improved the shape or size. One bee lays all the eggs, while the others raise and protect thorn; each bee does its part of the labor in gath ering In tho stores and nursing the young; and I have noticed, for some years, their mode of gathering pollen or bee-bread. It is this: ' i When a bee goes out aftor food, it alights on some kind of flower, and gathers a part of its load; then goes to another flower of the same kind, and perhaps' a third, to obtain a load. Another boo goes out, and if it alights on an other kind of flower, it keeps that kind till it gets a load. But how is this known ? You go to tlie hive and watch them as they come in; some have yellow pollen on their legs; others havo light colors; others have dark; but no bee has two colors on his legs. If you see any, you will seo more than I have, for I never did; and I supposed that they stored it in different cells for a change of food. The other day, in overhauling a hive, I broko out a piece of comb, and found the different colors in different cells, which confirmed my belief; for I suppose they like a chango of food as well as humans. , Another curious thing is their coming out and alighting before going off; from among tho hundreds I have hived, I novcr had one swarm leave direct from the hive. Another curious thing is their rearing tho males and nursing them so tenderly, and after they become useless they destroy them. But instinct has directed them to do it. Another curious thing is that, when they get to be too numerous, the mother bco should call out a part of her brood to go witli her, and leave the others to take caro of the young. Why not call them all out, to go with her? Because instinct has ordered it otherwise. Certain ones go out with her, whilo others aro coming in with stores for futuro use. A certain part of them don't seem to have any inclination to follow the mother bee, nor do they mourn tho loss, for another is provided. How wisely tho Creator has arranged every part and movement t It is curious, too, now tho eggs of tho drone cells are all dronos, and those in tho worker cells are all workers. Wo would suppose they would get mixed up liko bens' eggs. Again when they want a queen why not muko a mistake sometimes, and take a drone egg ? And also by feeding a certain kind of food, make a queen instead of a worker? Again, the queen beforo sho is hatched is head downward, which would seem to be unnat ural; but the All-wise has mado every part perfect. Jackson and the Iluflian. IT was while ho was Judge that be ar rested tho notorious desperado Bean, whom nobody elso could arrest. Many of Bean's decendants are still living, and the place where old Hickory's eyes brought him down is still pointed out. As the story runs, Bean wont away and left his family for two years. When he re turned his wife celebrated the advent by presenting him with a new-born babe. This was a new departure in domestic econ omy, and Bean did not accept tho situation with very good grace. He demanded an explanation, and in the absence of a satis factory one,he sharpened his knife and de liberately cut off both ears of the poor little baby, playfully remarking as he did so, that he wanted to distinguish it from his own. Some thought this was uu innocent proceeding, a practical joko on the baby, in fact, while others considered it an out rage that should be punished. Tho grand jury took that view of tlie case and in dicted Bean. Bean, as usual, brushed up his horse pistols and Baid that they might in dict, but they couldn't arrest him. The sheriff tried it and was vanquished. Court camo on, tho criminal docket was callod, and the clork reported Bean "not taken." " What's tho matter?" asked Jackson of tho sheriff. " Nothing's the matter, only I can't ar rest him," replied the official. "Then, by the Eternall summon thti ' county to help you and bring him in here," thundered the judge. Tlie sheriff gathered up sonio citizens, and advanced on Bean. The latter backed hltnBelf up against a house to prevent a. rear attack, drew his pistols, and told them to come on. , Ho was a centre shot, and to have advanced would have been certain death to some. No one cared to sacrifice his lifo in giving tho others a chance to make a start. The sheriff reported to Jack son that Boan could not be taken without a sacrifice of lives. ' " By the Eternal ! summon the oourt 1" thundered tho irato judge; and ' "the court" was summoned. Jackson refused arms, and advanced empty-handed and bareheaded upon Bean'. His friends tried to restrain him, as he val ued life, but he heeded them not. He kept his cold eyes fixedly upon the desperado, walked right up to him, jerked his pistols away, took him by the collar, and marched him off to jail tSTTruo lovo is never idle, but worketh ; to serve him whom he loveth.
