THE INDIANS PAID.
What tho White Men Charged Them
For Killing One Donkey.
Id "Reminiscences of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story Is told of tbe good
faith and honor of a i>arty of Chicka
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot a donkey, mistaking the
creature for a wild animal. They Bold
the hide, and It finally camo to tho
hands of Johu Barnes iu Llpton.
"When the Cblokasaws returned to
tbe region of Llpton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
to a shooting match, tho prlae to bo
the skin of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con
test, and oue of them won the prize.
When he saw tho skin ho turned It
over and said: "Ha, ha! Me kill him!
Me shoot him! See!" And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed a donkey, a very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done It
by mistake, believing It to be a wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white man's words and then con
sulted together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where a gang of white men
stood. Barnes In the midst of them.
Then oue of the Indians spoke:
"We sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
In cane. We think him wild. Wo sor
ry. Now we pay. We take no white
mau's boss, pony, nothing of white
man. We honest. We have ponies;
that's all. Take pay." Aud ho mo
tioned to the Ions lino of ponies, held
by their owners.
"How many?" asked Barnes.
"White man say," returned tho In
dian; "take plenty."
Tho honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be It
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chlckasaws thirty-five pontes
to pay for the accidental killing of ouo
donkey.
AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way it Wa? Described by an
Educatod Native.
C. J. PbUllps, business agent In
Uganda of tho Church Missionary so
ciety. throws light upou the workings
of the native mind by quoting a re
markable letter In which a native
member of the katlklro's (prime minis
ter's) party gives a description of the
Uganda railway.
"My friend, l cau tell you the Euro
peans have done a marvelous thing to
make the railway and the trains. They
fasten ten or fifteen houses together
and attach them to a fireplace which
Is as big as an elephant, and the road
it goes on is as smooth as the stem of
a plantain. It goo*, as fast as a swal
low flying, and evcrythli g you see out
side flits past you like c. spark from a
fire. If It were to drop off one of tho
bridges not one In It would be saved,
for It goes dreadfully quick. The hills
It passes are as high as those of Kokl,
and they have bridged over great val
leys which are as deep as that you see
when you look from the top of Naml
rembo, so deep that you cannot seo the
bottom when you are going over them."
Later there follows a description of
a Ship: "It Is as deep as our two sto
ried honse and as wide as the king's
road In Mengo, nnd It Is as long as
from ~fhe katiklro's fence to tho gate
of the king's luclosure. It has three
tall poles ig It and a blc throat, out of
which smoke comes, which Is as wide
as the new dmm In the church at Na
mlrembo. The rooms In It go down
three stories, and the boards of these
I caunot describe to you, for such have
not been seen before. There is a lot
of metal work about them, too. but
these also I cannot describe, for It Is
so fine. There are children on board"
and a flock of sheep and places to
wash In attached to every place where
a chief sleeps, such as even our king
has never possessed."? London Strand I
Magazine.
Old Book Terms.
The words foII*>, qunrto. octavo, duo
decimo and the like have almost if not
quite lost their original meaning. At
first they had reference only to the
number of leaves Into which the sheets
used In making the books were folded.
Thus If these sheets were folded once
so as to futin two leaves or four pages
the book was called a folio; if tho
sheets were folded twice so as to form
four leaves the book was called a
quarto; if they were folded four times
so as to form eight leaves tho book
was called au octavo, and so on.
Penitence.
"I suppose you're sorry now?" asked
the prison visitor, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger.
The young man who had stolen $17,
000 aud spent it in sixteen weeks
sighed through the bars. "Oh, yea,"
he answered. "I tried to cut too much
of a splurge. The money ought to
haw lasted me a week longer."

OLD FAVORITES.
A DEED AND A WORD.
A LITTLE stream had lost 1U *mr
Anilil tho grass and fern.
A pissing stranger scooped a well,
L Where weary men might turn.
He walled It In and hung with car*
A ladle at the brink.
He thought cot of the deed he did.
But judged that all might drink.
He passed again, and. lo. the well.
By summer never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongue.-!
And saved * llfo beside.
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged tho dally mart
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart.
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath.
It raised a brother from the dust;
It saved a soul from death.
O germ, O fount, O word of love,
O thought at random csst,
Yo wore but llttlo at the first.
But mighty at the last!
?Charles Mackay.
I SAW FROM THE BEACH.
I SAW from the beach when the morn
ing was shining
A bark o'er the waters move gloriously
on.
I camo when tho sun o'er that boach was
declining.
The bark was still there, but the waters
were gone.
AH, such Is tho fate of our life's early
promise,
So passing the springtide of Joy wo have
known!
Each wavo that we danced on at morn
ing ebbs from us
And leaves us at evo on the bleak shoro
alone.
NE'ER tell me of glories serenoly
adorning
The closd of our day, the calm of our
night.
Qlvo mo back, give me back, the wild
freshness of mornlryj!
Hor clouds and her tears are worth
evonlng*s best light.
OU, who would not welcome that mo
ment's returning
When passion first waked a new life
through his frame,
And his soul, llko tho wood that grows
precious In burning,
Qave out all Its sweets to love's exqui
site flame!
?Thomas Moore.
A HEALTH.
I FILL this cup to one mado up
Of loveliness alone.
A woman, of the gentle sex
The seeming paragon.
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair that, like tho air,
'Tls less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone Is music's own,
Llko thoso of morning birds.
And something more than melody
Dwells ever In her words.
Tho coinage of her heart aro they,
And from her Hps each flown
As one may see the burdened boo
Forth Issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of her hours.
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
Tho freshness of young flowers.
And lovely passions, changing oft.
So till her she appears
The Image of themselves by turns.
The Idol of past years.
Of her bright faco one glanco will trace
A picture on the brain.
And of her voice In echoing hearts
A sound must long remain.
But memory such as mine of her
80 very much endears
Whon death Is nigh my latest sigh
Will not be life's, but hers.
I fill this cup to one mado up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman of her gentle sex
Tho seeming paragon?
Her health! And would on earth there
stood
Some more of such a frame.
That llfo might be all poetry
And weariness a name.
?Edward Coate Plnknoy.

Shall wear cool wrcathen laurel wrought
With crimson berries In tho loavos,
And he shall reign a goodly king
And sway his liand o'er every clime.
With pcaco writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

SINAI AND CALVARY.
THERE are two mountains hallowed
By majesty subllmo.
Which rear their crests unconqucred
Above the floods of time.
Uncountod generations
Have gazed on them with awe?
Tho mountain of tho gospel,
The mountain of the law.
From Sinai's cloud of darkness
The vivid lightnings play.
They serve the God of vengeance,
Tho Lord who shall repay.
Each fault must bring Its pcnanc^
Each sin the avenging blade.
For Ood upholds In justice
Tho laws that ho bath made.
But Calvary stands to ransom
Tho earth from utter loss
In shado than light more glorious
Tho shadow of the cross.
To heal the sick world's trouble.
To soothe Its woo and pain.
On Calvary's sacred summit.
The Paschal Lamb was slain.
Almighty God, direct us
To keep thy perfect law!
O blessed Saviour, help us
Nearer to theo to drawl
Let Sinai's thunders aid as
To guard our feet from sin
And Calvary's light inspire us
The love of God to win.
?John Hay.
A NEW WORLD.

CUTICURA A STAND-BY
THAT NEVER FAILS HER
"I just can't say enough for the Cuti
curft Remedies, I can't find words high
enough to express my thanks to God
for hearing of tho wonderful remedies.
My baby had a running soro on his
neck and nothing that I did for it took
efTcct until I used Cuticura. My faco
was nearly full of tetter or some similar
skin disease. It would itch and, after
scratching, it burned 60 that I could
hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuti

ment cured me. Two years after it

cured it for n while, but it came again
in the summer. Sometimes I would

used ten dollars' worth of so-called
blood medicines which did no good at
all, then I went back to my old stand-by,
that had never failed me. Ono set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent did tho work. One
set also cured my uncle's baby whose
head was a cake of sores, and I know of
another woman's baby who was in tho
some fix and nothing clxo did any good.
I speak a word of praise for Cuticura
whenever I see a case that needs it.
