As the train on the Kansas Pacific pulled away from the Seventeenth streot depot a fow mornings since, a tall, angular specimen of humanity took a seat opposite a lady passenger, and to all appoarances was intently engaged in studying her face. At first the lady treated tho rudeness with good natured indiffernce. But at last it began to toll on her nerves. It was a puculiar and astonishing piece of impertinence. He appar- ently had the faculty of looking two ways at once. One of his eyes was restless, excited and roved in all directions,--the other, fixed and stony, on her with an undeviating stare. She turned her head away, but it intercepted her vision. She tried to hide behind a paper, but sho felt that cruel eye piercing her through the screen, and ereeping with a stony look ull over her fea- tures. It seemed to be picking thom up ont by one and examining {hom with care. The thing became unendurable, and she cried out to him 'fiercely :--¢ Sir, why do you look at me so persistently ?' «Me, madam, why, bless your soul, T haven't been looking at you.' «You have sir--for half an hour or more your eye has been absolute: ly vivetod upon my face.' ¢I beg your pardon, madam, but it's this eyo, is it not?' litting his finger to his left optic. «Yes, sir, it's that eye.' «Well madam, that eye won't do It generally looks 8 it d you any harm. «| any way it. pleases--it gives me a +|orcat deal of troable. {A great | many complain of it. At first 1 thought they were making fun of me. but I've found out different now. I've been down two or three times for tho impertinence of that eye. I would have it cut alto gether but for the looks of thething. It's a glass eye, madam --only a glass eye. 1 hope you'll excuse it. But, upon my soul, I'm not surprised ghat even a glass eyo should feel interested in eo pretty a woman,' and he brought the other cye to bear upon her with undirgnised ad- knocked oy miration. The lady laughing accepted the | explanation, and tho rest of the journey was passed very pleasantly to both of them. --_---------------- g On Forcing Children. Above all other things let my imaginary pupil have preserved freshness and vigor of youth in his mind as well as the body. The eduentional abomination of desol- ation of the present day is the stim- ulation of young people to work at high pressure by.incessant com- petitive examinations. Some wise man (probably not an early riser) has said of carly risers in general, that they are conceited all the fore- noon and stupid in the afternoon.-- a is Now whether this is true of carly risers in the common acceptation of the word or not, I will not pretend to say; but it is too often true of the unhappy children who are fore- ed to rise too early in their classes. They are conceited all the forenoon of life, and stupid all its afternoon The vigor and freshness, which should have been stored for exist- tence in practical life, have been washed out of them by precocious mental debanchery--by book glut- tony and lesson bibbing. Their faculties are worn out by the strain apon their callow brains, and they a moro need for intellectual rest than age; and tho cheerfulness, the ten- acity of purpose, the power of work which makes many a successful man what ho is, must be placed to the erodit, not to his hours of industry but to that of his hours of idleness in boyhood. Even the hardest worker of _them all, if he has to deal with anything above mere details, will do well, now and again, to let his brain lie fallow for a space. The next crop of thought will cortainly be all the fuller in the ear, and the weeds fewor. ee rn, Killed by & Serpent. jecture that possibly the Doctor had | Philadelphia, Biding their tran portation, the snakes were placed in' a large glass jar, the top being-caro. fully socured by a coveringsot wire gauze. The jar was then placed on an elevated bracket in a remote cor ner of tho Doctor's office. Tiast evening the Doctor and his danghter were geturning from a visit to the country, and the Doctor having oc- casion to make np a proscription they entered his office, the Doctor lighting a lamp. And now comes the terrible «denouement. A large owl swept through the transom above the door and flew with the speed of an arrow against the lamp, knocking it over and scattering the oil and broked glass in every di- rection. The bird seemed frantic, flying and dashing in every dirce- tion, while a general clash of bottles and glasses was heard on evgry side. Meantime the Doctor had lit another match, but just in time to receive his daughter, who sprang with a wild cry to his arms; in the darkness be gathered his darling in his arms and in a moment realized ation. the situ- The owl had dislodged the Jar from the bracket, and the vipers were at large. Speedily ho groped his way, calling loudly for help, which, the hourbeing late, was slow to put in appearance. They seemed slow, but scarcely five minutes had the heather as far as they could reach, and part of the soil, but they had all been dead many days. The one that stood forty-two days on bare rock was alive and in a healthy condition, She lived many years after and reared a number of lambs.' Awful Lonesome. If the following incident did not toccur recently,' it is too good to be lost : In the early days of California it was the custom of miners who desired to make a "remittance" through the express to receive from the express company coined gold in exchange for "nuggets" and 'dust.' his business was dono on Saturday ovenings in a little shanty, near which, unfortuuately, there was almost always another, devoted to gambling, where many an unlucky miner lost his all One Saturday evening a dark visaged. morose man sat in ono of the offices of the express company, looking as though he had not only lost all his money, but every friend he ever had.

A hasty return and close examination resulted in find- ing the fangs in the thick leathers of the Doctor's boots, who, being so alurmed for his daughter, had not the slightest knowledge of being strnek.

The Darling Downs Gazette, of | Toowomba, New South Wales, has a | letter from one of his subscribers relating how, many years ago, in the Grampian hills, Scotland, bis father lost a number of sheep in a heavy snow storm. The writer says: -- ¢All, or the greater number of the black-faced sheep, were spread over the mountains, consequently there were thousands of sheep covered with snow and smothered; in some instances they were covered twenty or twenty-five feet deep.-- Those who were covered while standing, in many instances were dug up after being threo weeks buried, very little the worso ; but thoso that were lying when covered were smothered to death, My father had a beautiful specimen of tne Highland sheop dog. I call it a ighland sheep dog, as the breed of these animals was then different from the sheep dogs in the south of Scotland.

At the end of forty two days the snow on one spot lay ten feet deep. I was going in com- pany with my father over the fatal spot. The sheep dog stopped: and birked. Ho held his ear to tho snow --this was his habit, for he never barked except thero was a living sheep entombed.
