"For the Okaner." A, MIRnAF. v srTkc BiacalliMtf Itro, Give ear, dear friends, whilea story I tell Of a fair youuj; lady I know, Whose matchless charms were sure to win. Where'er she went, a beau. In fact, I may say, without the least fear Of sueessful contradiction. The gents were many that were ready to tear The of each other out, at her diction Notwithstanding all this,the prize was worth winning, f And among hir suitors were two Who deserve spefclal mention, as soon will be seen When I relate somethings they did do. Ono brought all the power of the pnlpit to bear To indace the fair lady to yield; She filled up his mind when writing or preaching, m And when at the Altar he kneeled. The other desired, 'bove all filings else, To pump from her delicate lips The word that with bliss would fill his whole frame — Yea, reach his very finger-tips. Iu course of time it came to pass Tbcy met, as lovers are sure-to do:— They met on a lake, a boat-ride to take— This lads - , >vith her valient lovers two. Of court* the preacher with all hU deep learning. Knew not how to rim a cauoe; So the other took charge, with a look that meant He'd te even, at last, with bis foe. With oar in hand, ,tnd a smile on his face, He stood, with ihc lady, near the boat's end: Tiic preacher 11 ex i .veiHU'.'cd, with trembling liinbi, The charm .>? h nre-cnce the occasion to % lend. . When, ,'o! th" 'vnt wit i a deyUish freak, Careened to one side, like a flash. And dumped the p »:>r preacher, with all his fin# clothe*, Into the lake, with a loud splash! Muttering and sputtering, he came to the shore, But still his sweet temper kept he; Hlth sorrowful voicj. he calmly remarked: ••Brethren, I'm not inrfeli wet, you see!" • A lesson in this t*s hoped lie will find, And hold to for quite a long season; 'Tis thi»:—when he goes on a boat wih bis love. Be certain to have no Grease now iDtna r.QT it* n*he, Tlift late Dr. George ]). Willing was ihe first delegate to Congress from flie raining community. At tlic time ' ■when the guhject of the organization of th»3 new territory was tinder debate, he was, as a matter of course, on the floor, of the House of Hepresen atives. Various names had Wen proposed without any seeming approach to agreen e it, and the doctor, whose fa miliarity with tin; Indian dialects was pretty well ktiowr, was appeulleJ to by of his legislative friends for a suggestion. One of them said : " /Something round and smooth now." It happened that tie little daughter of oue of these gentlemen was on the' floor that morning, and the doc'or, who was fond of children, had just been calling her to him with, Md' ,'>o, come Slid sfee me." Nothing could bo better, ind the veteran explorer promptly responded with the name " Idaho." " But what does it mean f "Gem of tLe mountains," replied the quick-witted doctor, with a glance at the fresh face behind him, aad the interpretation, like the name ''stuck' to this day. Dr. Willing told about it at the time, or soon afterward, with a most gleeful appreciation of the humor of the thing, and I have often since heard him rehearse the story. Visitor. { MUTUAL TOLERATION —The house will always be well kept in a turmoil where there is no toleration or lenity shown to each other's failings, no weak submission to injuries, no soft: answers to turn away wrath. If you | yj « single stick of wood in the grate } and apply fire to it, it will go oat but I pat on another stick and they will I burn; half a dozen and you will have j an effective blaze. There are other I fires subject to the satne condition- If one member of a family gets into a passion and is left alone; he *i!l cool down and possibly be ashamed and repent. • But oppose temper to temp er, let One harsh answer follow anoth er, and there will soon be a blaze which will enwrap all in its horning heat. Burlington Hawheye*: —Dom Pedro went to the Mammoth Cave, but he waltzed around the entrance for a long time before be would go in. ' Eet ees a naioe hole," he said," but I- fear yara mooch eet ees fool of snakes." If OT THAT KIND OF % BAN, [From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) Rev. Dr. P. the other day, found a pack of playing cards in the possession of h\s oldest boy, and after giving the lad a thrashing for owning such ener gies of Satan, the doctor placed the cards in his own pocket, intending to destroy them at the first opportunity. But he forgot about them, and subse quently, while in the cars on his way to the city, he pulled out his haudker* I chief, and the cards came out with it and fell upon the floor. Tho dootor gathered them tip, with a very red face, and while he was arranging them in his hand, he saw a rough-looking man in his 6eat opposite to him wink at liiin. He turned his head away but upon looking around a moment later, the man winked at him again. Then he winked several times, and finally he camq over, and sitting down by the side ot the doctor, lie said; "I say, purdner, what's your little game?" "I don't understand you, sir,'' re plied (he doctor. • . "Oh, you needn't mind hie," said the man, "I'm doing a little at that thing myself. Now, how do you work it?" What do you mean? llow do I work wtoit?" "Oh you know well enough. What do you skin 'em on ?"' "Skin them I Skin who? Really, sir your remarks are incomprehensible to me?'^ "Now, see here, I understand the whole thing. You're hunting up somebody to play,seven-up with, and ■you intend to beat 'em out of their money. Now, don't you?" ''You don't know who you are talk ing to." •Oow, I*lltell you what I'll do. There's no man on this earth that kin turn jacks faster n I kin: less you and me start up a game on some of these fellers, and I'll inn three or four jacks up uiv sleeve, with a couple of aces, and when wo get to'town, we'll divide the profits aud go down and get roaring drunk at the tavern. Is it a bargain "You are a scoundrell, sir! ' ex> claimed the doctor. "Let ine change my seat; it you please." "Won't do i ? Won't club in with me and try a few games?" "Certainly not. sir." " Won't lend me them jacks to put in inv sleevds?'' " You seein to torget that 1 am a clergyman, sir.,' "A cler ! Oh. no. You dou't mean to say that—that—you ain't a preacher; now, honest, are yon?" '•Yes, sir, I aui. I ain the Ilev. Dr. P." " I'oo bad! too bad! Believe me, if I di(ii%t think you was one of these fellows who play card* on the cars to gouge greenhorns out of their money- You look like one, anyway, now dou't you? And what are you doing with that pack, old man, hey? Would you mind if i showed you how to run 'em over so's when YOU play they can't fool you? I'll do it for nothing. Then Dr. Potts went into the hind carandgotoff at the next station- When he goi home he gave that boy of'.is a couple of cktin flogging; in order to ease his feelings. I;E MOCIABI.K M ITII voi k CAT.

Now this man ia an active, indutrions, intelligent, expe rienced fanner; and vet, when he is piling mannre in the yards, hia cows give a perceptible increase in,their milk. Why?

The BUrrfllraniMilMT** lluu- dred aad Twrilgr Mixib .Tlilr, It has already bejn announced that George Parker, the rauchero, who en gaged to ride thirty mustang horses three hundred arnd five miles in fifteen hours at Fleetwood Park, New York, on Thorsday, broke down after corns plctingtwo hundred and twenty-isix miles in cloven hours and twenty-four minutes. The New York papers give, further particulars of the race:. At 4 oclock, A. M., the small crowd ?f people which had gathered in frcnt of the judges; stand at Fleetwood Park greeted the rider, Parker, with a cheer as he swung himself lightly into the ponderous Mexican saddle, and with a shako or the rein aud a jingle of the spurs, started upon his journey. The first ten miles were traveled in, minutes and and. forty seconds, but it required twentysaeven minutes and twenty seconds to accompli*!: the second ten. Iu riding the first forty miles the rider changed horses thirty-two times showing great fcgilitv in leaping from the back of one iuto the saddle upon another, and trequeutly meeting wit :> serious difficulty because of the rostive and vicious nature of the mustangs. The wain interest of the race rested upon the rider, on whose pluck and endurance de| ended largely the sues peas of the undertaking. Up to the 60th mile Parker rode with remarkable case and grace, appearing only a little heated, aud not materially tatigueu. The weather proved uupropitions; the drizzling rain spunked the rider through and rendered the track very heavy. At the end of the 110 th mile Parker appeared a little lame; this was the first indication that the ires mendous pace was begining to tell up* on him. After this, hfc was observed to rest himself by rising in his stirrups and by placing his hands upon the withers of his horse.' lie took no res freshment for the fin t si* hours, save an occasional glass of water; at the expiration ot that time he ate a piece of pie. lie was noticed to walk stiflly and appeared considerably shaken. He took five minuter rest and then started again After pai*ker had made his 2')oth mile his motions were watched with intense inteaest. He was then 19 into* utcs behind tiuie, and had been riding 10 bouts and six minutes, Finally, ai 26 minutes past 3 as he finished the 22Gtb miles and was supposed to be about to mount the relay nt hand for him, he staggcrrcd, and tailing along the front ot the judges' stand with haudsoutßtiecbed,he entered the loor* way and dropped into a chair. From the chair he fell neavily iuto the arms of the raneheros nud hostlers. They laid lain ou the floor nnd Lathed his head nut ill a physician arrived. "1 am blind," the prostrate rider moaned. "Oh, 1 shall never sec again physician examined the rider's eyta. Vision ha 1 really fled from one of them. He told I'arker that the ail' merit was only temporary, and urged him to mount a horse aud continue the race. Parker said painfully; "1 am blind, 1 never can ride any more- If 1 wasn't so I would yet wiu the ! race." • Others nrged the rider to mount ait-) tide again,and to them he replied: "You waut.jto kill me. 1 urn not strong enough to move." With difficulty Parker wairaUcd to his feet. The physician atked hirq (Jttestioiis and in reply he said that his eye* had never been diseased, aui he did uot think that anything hard iiad ■track ihe blind right eye in the race. Seven or eight thousand s|>er.tators waited anxiously for the prostrate man tt> reappear aud ride attain. Their number* increased by train and wagon, loads, aud the almost excitement pre? vailed. Wbm tbey saw the exhausted rider borne along the track to hi* lodg ing place la arms of hia fried*, tbey watched him until he disappeared be hind the oat-buildings, and then with out any demonstations, they quietly dispersed.. There were 190 relays of horses daring the day. The best tim«! made was a mile in 2.20. Fifty miles jrere ran in 2 honrs I'i minutes; lUO miles in 4 hours 41 minutes; 150 miles in 7 hoars 18 minutes; 200 miles in 10 honrs 6 minnt'es, and the entire dis tance run, 229 jniles in 11 bourO& minutes.

Theatrical people are yet laughing over a joke practiced* by John L Smith, the agent of the Yokes troupe, while here. The Vokeg were doing their best to rather poor houses, for they were In Washington during the opening of the Centennial and the town was deserted. Smith,cue of the most efficient agents, irnot the most efficient, wits in a high state of disgust, lie does not Succumb readily, and iu the midst of Ids distress Ueiiry Ward Rcecher appeared at the national capi tal to lecture. John L. determined to utilize Henry Waid. To this end h* sent unscrupulous emissaries through out the ho til j/ club liCuses,- lobbies/ lunch rooms and else where to spread the intelligence that ou that night Henry Ward was to visit Yokes en* tertainment at the theatre. Now, it cost a dollar to hear Henry lecture, hut for the sutri one could enjoy the Vokes and sec the great Brooklyn Pope at viie and the fame time. The result was a crowded house. And the people m ere disappointed? Not a bit of it. Johu L. invited John Chamberlain to the theatre. Ho gave the fa.nous ; sporting character a box. Nay, thi* wicked man did worse; he inveigled Cliuiaberlaui ta bis room at the Ars liiiglon, and under sundry pretenses got hiin on a white choker. Hitting in a conspicuous place in the box, John Chamberlain wi*nhl have been embar rassed, bad lie known how, at the way the entire house turned and atared at him, for John L'a wicked emissaries, busy roving about iu an utter dlsre" gitrd ot truth and graiumer, were say* ing that's him, that's liilri. This was ploasant enough till John was Wsmlit.'g Ills way out, when a fellow startd at Lim for some seconds, then said, hi an earnest way: Cuss me ef I didn't think hinrguilty; never saw a wuxs countenance in all rfy life. I What's that feller making such re" marks about? asked Chamberlain. Because, respodded John L., coolly, lie thinks you are Ileury Ward Beeili er. I don't know how it is, but the impression is general to-night that yon «re the reverend friend' of the family. John Chamberlain soya that when lie guts near John L. again there will be' a vacancy iu the tribe of Smith.— Wanhi iff ton Capital. BRKP MIID, For piling Ossn upon Pelion in the war of storytelling, commend u? to the following: It was a rouddv time In the neigh* borhood ot Chicago. Two men were «itting in a saloon, over "something warm." when the mud and Ihe bad condition ot the roads becams the sub ject of conversation. "Aye," sail one of them, "it's »w« ful. Why this morning, just out of town, I saw a coal team stucl/ in the mnd, ore* the axles, and twenty yoke of stoat oxen trying to pall il ont; but tbey couldn't budge it." The other, thinking, perhaps, this is a rather tongh yam, replied.*# tol low*: "Aye. 1 don't thlftk I ever saw deeper mnd. Why, M I was coming to town, I saw a man, with a big whip In his hand, sitting on the leusc by the side of the road Jtfst beyond lie corduovy. He was crackjng the whip, and yelling «t bc top of his voice. I aaked him what was the ma'* tef. "Matter?" said be. "O. not much —onlv I'm got a fohr ox team sank in the mud here somewhere, and I'm waitin'to see if the tarnal brutes 'II wiggle ont!" •At this Juncture an old Hoosler.who hal been drinking at the bar. drew up I a chair to tell what he had seen la the [mnd. " "Stranger"' said he, "was re ever on the Arkansaw bottoms? Well,—l crossed there once in the sprintr, when tlie mud was some. I was picking my way along one day, when I law a hat lost 'top of the slash, and I give it a kick—a right smsi t kick, ! reckon— and then I beard a voice,-' " 'Say ,—quit that will ye?*'' "I looked around, but ennldn't see a soul: and then 1 give the h t anotlier kick. ' "'Hold on!' cried tbe same voice. '•You're kickin' my hat!' ''And then, bless me! If I dWn t find a man sank in tbe mod under that hat? Says I: " -Look here, old fellow, you'd bet ter bJIHU"' herself onto' that afore night, or ve'il freeze to death.' And he hollered back to me:.
