toES AT THE CIKC?S.
Mose, ef yo* don* hus
?fly Waf dat wood,
"by the vigor
:>Khe? floated' over
back ya?d, .-around the
cora crib, and finally reached the ears of
Hoses Elijah Ellison, who sat on the
''choppin* block" with bis head in bis
hands, ruminating on some knotty ques?
tion.
Hastily gathering the f?w sticks of
wood that were cat, Mose started for
tbs house, knowing by experience that
he would'feel the weight of Aunt Caro?
line's by no means gentle hand if he de?
layed much longer in prod acing- the
much called for wood.
"Wot y$ l^en dom* all dis Wile benin*
dat co*n crib, yo' lazy, good fer not'in'
nigger? I sent 70' ont dar ter cut dat
wood a h afp hom* ago an' yo* aint got 'n
armful jit. Take dat!" and aunty made
a blow at Mose, who adroitly ducked
ander her bare, black arm and ran into
the kitchen.
After depositing th? wooden tte "box
prepared for it, Mose retreated to a safe
place behind the stove, where he kept
an anxious eye on aunty, as, with a
gorgeous red'and yellow tarban on her
headvishe swept the dirty floor and dust?
ed the furniture, which consisted mainly
of a rickety table? some empty soap
boxes and a three legged stool.
"S/^TA?nt C?line," said Mose, glanc
mTfrartively up, **kin I go ter de snccus
Y?ifs com?Thyar dis af moon?"
"Moses Elijah Ellison!" cried Aunt
Caroline, fairly swelling with anger at
this audacious question, ''hain't yo' got
not*n' better ter do dan traipsin aroun'
ter suceuses? Hyar! yo* take yo'self
'roan' ter dat wood pile, an' ef yo' dar to
stir outer my sight oere'll be anudder
soceos in dis town. Air yo* goin*?** And
she looked around for something to
throw.
However, Mose was well out of the
way, and by the time Aunty got to the
door with one of the precious sticks of
wood all she saw was the twinkle of a
pair cf black feet around the corner of
the "co*n crib."
*i 'Pears like ez if aunty wuz gittra'
wuss 'n wuss,7' soliloquized Mose as he
sat down on the chopping block to med?
itate on the situation. "Here I wuz
a-choppin' an' a-choppin' all dismawnin',
tell my back feels Kke bit wuz clean
broke, and de minuit I axes fer a little
moosement she up *n whups me wif a
stick er wood. But I hain't goin' ter
stan* hit no longer!" he continued, shak?
ing his fist at an imaginary Aunt Caro?
line; "Moses Ellison' am goin* ter kick,
an'"
"BJ, y?? w'ot yo* doin*, Mose? Hev yo*
got de Saint Bituses dance?** and Mose's
inseparable friend, William Johnson,
jumped over the fence and sat down on
the log.
"GoUy! Bill, how yo* skairt me," said
Mose, rolling his eyes and swallowing
hard. "L t ort yo"- wuz Aunt CaTine,
shore, an*, yo* bet I doan' wan' ter let her
ketch me monkeyin* roun' like dis," and
for five minutes nothing could be heard
but the sound -of the ax, as Mose hewed
desperately at the tough wood.
"Say, Mose,** said Bill, during a lull in
the chopping, "goin* ter de su cens?"
"Doan' say suecos ter me," said Mose
?a*"h?r bitterly, ns be made a blow at a
huge knot. "I axed Aunt Cairne jes a
few minuits, ago. an' she done set me at
the woodpile. But. cf I bed enny money
Td go, 1 "ckin' er no lickin*. Be yo* goin?**
"Yaas,** said BSE, displaying a blue
paper proudly. "I helped de man wash
de b*ar*s cage dis mawnin', and he guv
me a pass fer two; so cum long ef y er
t? run away."
Mose^^.not prep? ^d to be taken up
so quic??y^and-for a; moment stood in
open mouthed surprise, out, determining
not to show signs of cowardice before
Bin, he threw down the ax with many
misgivings, and, keeping the corn crib
between -them and the house, they
climbed the fence and started for the
circus,
"Golly!" exclaimed Mose, sitting down
on a large rock *nd wiping the sweat
from ms face. **I 'spected ter beer Aunt
.C?line yawpin* arter us ebery minuit.
Didn't yo*?"
"Yaas,'- answered Bill thoughtfully;
.'bot look yere, Mose, ef 1 takes yo* inter
de snccus yo* orter* do snmfin fer me,
hadn't yo*?**
"Er-yass," said Mose, rather doubt?
fully, "but yo* tell me wot 'tis fust 'fore
Ido hit"
"ISM fumbled a moment in his pocket
and brought forth a rather small sized
biscuit.
?.'Give dat ter de Var," he said, giving
it to Mose.
. *1>nz de man low yo* ter feed de b*ar?"
said Mose, turning the biscuit over in his
hand and seeing nothing sus pi ci oas about
it
i??*ertaTOry,** replied Bill, from the
height of superior intelligence. "He told
me dis morai rf dat de folkses allus guv
*im peanuts an' bisMts. Well, ef yo'
doan* wan* ter do hit I kingit ?b.?m Wil?
son insted." .,
"Hoi* up. Bill." called Mose, as Master
Johnson turned awavasif hedidn'tcare;
-HI do hit."
..Well, bussle yo'self and well git dar
airly an* git a good seat," said Bill tri?
umphantly.
On arriving at the ground the two boys
found that they wore much too early, but
they managed to amuse themselves very
well examining the pictures which deco?
rated tlie'outside of the tent, and looking
at the crowd of c6untry people.
.When^ithe ticket office opened Mose
and Bill wejse the* first ones to {.resent
themselves, and on being lold that tho
pass was all right they rushed in and se?
cured good seals next the ring.
Everybody knows how a "one-horse"
< ir .us is conducted, and this was no bet
ttar than the average. The ' daring bare
tack ri^^s" trotted steadily around the
i-i^g^M^ngniai<ter cracked his whip,
. fc?Jc?owB' cracked his jokes just as
*" XE?X+?S?t aftthis was over every
;jgi$ri)cxl to the royal ' ?m?nagerie."
?tedof a couple of elephants,
a rfeepy, toothless old lion, some two
headed cows and other startling freaks,
and last the auimal down oa the bills as
the "fierce and untamable grizzly beai
of California."
To Mose, who-had elbowed bis way to
the rope which separated the animal
from the crowd, the bea: \~as all that tnt
bills claimed fer it, but to an experiencec
observer there was an air of helplessness
and old age about it which was borne
ont by tibe sight of his nearly toothless
gums as he caught peanuts and apples
with a dexterity born of long practice.
Ivooking about for Bill, Mose found
that that young-, gentleman had for
some reason declined to follow him, and
was stationed on tb? other side of the
rope, making signs to him to give the
biscuit to the bear.
T??ng advantage of a time when
every body seemed to be looking over to
the other side of the tent, where a spir?
ited encounter was going"on between
two country youths, Mose tossed the
biscuit in t?'..the .bear's capacious mouth,
where it instantly disappeared from
v Th?* result was somewhat different
from what Mose expected, instead of
&??P? ^i?-1.'* grateful look for the dainty
tad-bit, the beor s saved tit r.?in a lL.om.ent
?with a looii of pained surprise on " hi?
features} and tuen, with a howl of min?
gled iftge and pain, broke the rope
[ which held him, and came down upon
the unfortunate darky like a whirlpool.
* "Oh* Lordy!" groaned Mose, whose
kinky hair fairly straightened out in his
terror, "Oh, Lordy I Ts done fo\ " and
he sank in a heap before the enraged
hear.
This" act probably saved him from re?
ceiving some severe injuries, for the
bear stumbled Over him, heels over head,
and before it had rime to get up was
'caught by some circus men, whoprompt
ly bundled it into a cage.
"Wot is it?" asked Mose faintly, as he
slowly rose to'his feet.
"My yo^ug colored friend/* answered
the head showman, as he assisted him out
of the tent with the toe of his boot,
"never let me catch you round here
again feeding Cayenne pepper to my
animals. *
s, Mose received a warm welcome from
Aunt Caroline that night-v?Ty warm,
coming as it did right after the applica?
tion of the circus man's toe, but he says
he got SOT** o satisfaction out of the
"everlasting whuppki" ho gave Bill
Johnson the next day.- Arthur Chap
"man in Philadelphia Times.
An Historic Old Town.
Borgo is an old town about forty miles
from Helsingfors, and certainly the most
characteristic of the small towns of Fin?
land. By the side of the old town, with
its quaint, irregnlar houses and its tortu?
ous streets, there are square and un?
picturesque quarters, with houses paint?
ed with yellow ocher, and reminding one
by their shape of cigar boxes. Situated
[ at the mouth of a little river, and prettily
! set in a frame of hills and ancient forti?
fications, covered with venerable pine
trees, Borgo presents a most curious as?
pect.
The old white cathedral; the strange
houses of the old town, painted red,
ocher and orange; the sheds and ware?
houses built along the river, with their
foundations in the water itself, and
everywhere in the intervals between
these odd wooden buildings the fresh
greenery of the gardens-such are some
of the features which make this little
town s^> characteristic. The cathedral
is a large square monument built of
blocks of granite, whitewashed, and with
pointed gables. The steeple is separate
from the church at a distance of about
fifty paces. It is the type of almost all
our churches cf the Catholic era-that
is to say, before Gustavus Vasa.
It was in this church of Borgo that
Alexander I in 1809 opened the Finnish
diet, by which he promised to preserve
and to respect forever the religion, the
laws and the Swedish constitution of the
country, thus, according to his own
words, "raising Finland to a place among
nations."-Albert Edelfelt in Harper's.
Sbe Talked Him Into lt.
I heard a characteristic bit cf dialogue
on a Sixth avenue train a couple of days
ago. The speakers were two well dressed
women under the middle age.
"What a goose a man is!" chirped one
of the women in a high keyed voice
that could be heard all over the car.
"Why, Mame?"
"Why, about my earrings, you know.
I took them to a jeweler and told him
how I wanted them fixed. 'Oh, it
couldn't be done,' he said. I told bim it
would have to be done. I couldn't wear
them if it wasn't done, and I wanted to
wear them. Now, if it had been a
woman she would have fixed them in
some way, and that would have been
the end of it; but, do you know, I had
to talk to that man an hour and fifteen
minutes, and then he said he'd fix them,
and he did."
They left the car at this point, and a
gray bearded old man remarked, "I
don't wonder that the jeweler was ready
to promise most anything io get rid of
her if she talked an hour and fifteen
minutes to him."-New York Star.
Cqrioos Advice.
i am reminded of a curious bit of ad?
vice I heard a shrewd elderly man give
to a young acquaintance who was about
to start in business.
"Have you any cash. Harry?" asked he.
The youth mimed a respectable sum.
"Have you any credit.'"
- The young man replied again in the
affirmative, going over a promising list
of his advantageous connections.
"Then let me give you a hint gratis,"
said the old reprobate. "Use your credit
up first, my boy; your cash is good any
time."-Kate Field's Washington.
An Aerial Messenger.
Captain Smith, of the ship Kiste a,
bound from Sydney, N. S. W., to San
Francisco, caught an albatross around
the neck of which was a piece of brass
bearing the following inscription: "E.
O'Brien, July 5, *S9, lat. 37 degs. 20 mins.
north, long. 143 degs. west." Capt.
Smith took possession of the message
and released the aerial messenger.
