Could Afford It,
Old John Pepperton, a woll-inown
citizen of central Kentucky, was taken
down with an illness which the physi
cians declared would prove fatal. Pep
perton's wife, a deeply religious woman,
Legged the old man to let her send for a
preacher. "You haven't got but a few
hours to live," she said, "and to see yon
die without having received some sort
of consolation would almost drive me
orazy It is my last request, dear, and
don't see how you can refuse me. Let
me send for Brother Henshaw,''
Old John gave a reluctant consent.
Brother Henshaw came. He bad grown
old in the Master's service. His life had
Ix-en one of unspotted purity.
Bet down over thar," said old .John,
••••.? an'make yo'se'f as much at home ez
you ken under the circumstances."
The prcacher sighed with deep sym
rathv, seated himself, and, bestowing a
kindly look upon the dying man, asked
kim how he felt.
"Wall," old John replied, "it hits me
that I have felt a trifle pearter than I do
"fkt the present."
v The preacher sighed again, and ab
stractly gazed at a shanghai rooster that
Stood out on the porch.
""Wha.fc do you think of the future?"
the minister asked, again turning to the
dying man.
"Wall, kain't say that I know 'nuff
about it to 'spress a opinion. Putty
much all my life haa been in the past."
The wife lifted the corner of a ging
ham apron, wiped her eyes, and begged
her husband to think of the future.
"Kaia't think uv a thing I don't know
nctliin' about, Liza," he replied.
The preacher asked if he might offer
a prayer.
"Oh, yas," said old John, "jest pitch
in an' make yo'se'f at home."
The minister prayed, and then, lean
ing over and gazing into old John's
countenance—a countenance comical
even though death had begun to draw
blighting lines upon it—said:
"This is a time for most solemn truth
and frankness. I know that your life
lias been mainly given up to jocular
evasions of all serious questions, but I
pray you now hearken unto me. Can
yon afford to die
"Wall, kain't exactly afford it this
time uv year when the crap's in the
grass an' the mule colts need special
tendin' ter, but I reckon I'll hatter."
The preacher winced. The wife
wiped her eyes again and the old
shanghai stood on one foot and bowed
awkwardly to a young pullet that had
just made her debut in society.
"I am afraid that you are not ready to
die, my poor friend," said the preacher.
'Death is a very serious thing."
"Wall, yas, I rockon it is putty tough
On some folks."
"My poor friend, what will become of
jrour soul
"Wall, you'll hatter ax ther Lawd
ferbout that. Man haster take kere uv
ther body, you know, On* the Lawd
look3 atter ther soul."
"I fear you are gone."
"Putty nigh, I reckon."
"Yes, and you cannot afford it."
"Ken you?"
"Better than you can, my erring
brother."
"Wall, now, let us see erbout that.
Did you ever see er coon an' er dog fight
in ther moonshine?"
"No," the preacher replied.
"Did you ever tie er old dish-pan ter
er steer's tail V"
"No, thank the Lord."
"Did you over set down with yo' back
agin a wild-cat still-house an' drink till
you couldn't no mo'n bresh er hoss-fly
offen yo'nose
"The Lord forbid.""
"Wall, did you ever steal sweet milk
Duien a spring-house?"
"No."
"Ah, hah wall, did you ever load up
er old hot gnn with erbout three times
enough pow der an' seo it kick a peart
your .* fellow heels over head?"
'•No."
"Wall, I've been all erlong thar, an*

NURTURES) BY WOLY88.
Remarkable Story Found in an Old
English Pamphlet.
[From London Nature.]
The Zoologist for March reprints afi'
extraordinary pamphlet entitled: "An
Account of Wolves Nurturing Children
in Their Dens." This pamphlet wna
printed in Plymouth in 185'2 and iituB
long boon out of print. On a wrapper
of a copy in the Zoological Library of
the natural History Museum at South
Kensington there is the following mem
orandum in the handwriting of the lute
Colonel Hamilton Smith: "This account^
I am informed by frienils, is written by
Colonel Bloemun, of the Indian army
the well-known officer who had charge
of the Thugg inquiries and who resided
long in the forests of India." The writ
er records a number of cases of children
who are said to have been nurtured by
wolves in India. In one instance
large female wolf was seen to leave her.
den, followed by three whelps and
little boy. This happened near Chan
dour, ten miles from Sultanpocr, in the
year 1847. The boy went on all fours
and ran as fast us the whelps could. He
was caught with difficulty and had to be
tied,as he was very restive and struggled
hard to rush into holes and dens.
When a grown-up porson came near
hi:n ho became alarmed and tried to
steal away, but when a child came iieAif
him he rushed at it with a fierco snarl,
liko that of a dog, and tried to bite it.
When cooked meat was placed near him
he rejected it with disgust, but whon
raw meat was offered he seized it with
avidity, put it on the ground under his
hands like a dog and ate it with evident
pleasure. He would not let any one
•ome near him while he was eating, but
ao made no objection to a dog coming
ar.d sharing his food with him.
The trooper who captured the boy left
him in charge of the Bajah of Haulm
poor, who sent him to Captain Nichol
lets, commanding the first Regiment of
the Oudo Local Infantry at Sultanpoor,
and some Interesting notes as to the
boy's habits are given on this officers'
authority. He died in August, 18" 0,
and after his death it was remembered
that he had never teen known to laugh
or smile. He used Bigns when he
wanted anything, and very few of them,
except when hungry. When his food
was placed at some distance from him
he would run to it on all fours like any
four-footed animal,but at other times he
would walk uprightly. He shunned hu
man beings and seemed to care for noth
ing but eating. If the pamphlet can
be proved to be perfectly trustworthy it
certainly deserves to be carefully stud
ied by anthropologists.

Vriien any one offers tto rehite to you
the most wonderful freak of the light
uiag that you have' ever heard, refer
him to a recent occurrence near at
home. It happened during one of the
s-henvers the present summer at the resi
l«2ce of Mrs. E. F. Packard, Auburn.
The lightning struck the house near the
entrance and passed beneath the thres
hold, tearing the planking and doing
connislerablo damage. Then it entered
the honse and touched the water pire.
It ran along the pipe until it reached a
lead section. It melted this, and if any
fire occured, as seems likely, the water,
in n stream about as lar^e as a lead
pencil, extinguished it, saturating the
curvet and the tioor. The tead that ran
from the melted pioe flowed out uiion a
zinc trtvv in which the pipe lay through
out its length, and the heat ot the elec
tric fluid soldered the lead pipe to the
tray. Thedammte was discoverediatlie
morning.—Lewixlon Journal.
One of the curiosities found in Maine
is a pine tree near II ullowell that smoke3.
A column of vapor as large around as a
man's arm rises from the very top of tho
tree and extends for several teet into thu
air. The phenomenon is of periodical
occurrence, land no one is able to ex
plain it.
One of the obscure rioh men of St.
Louis is Oliver A. Hart, who, although
worth about f?3,000,000 attracts less at
tention than many a £1,000 clerk, lie
is a man of retiring manner and quiet
drts3. His fortune was made from
lucky investments in gas and railroad
stojks.
An
-AJT4e ji-,
English writer declares that the
custom of pairing off guests at dinner
aroso in tho middle ages, when there
was only a single plate and drinking
cup for each couple, and that while the
man cut up tho meat the wo uanpnt the
pieces in his mouth, and they both
drank from the same cup.
