A Quaker Of exemplary character. was
disturbed at night by footsteps around his
dwellng and he arose from his bed. and
cautiously opened back door to recon
noi:re. Close by was an out house. and
under it a cellar, near a window Of which
was a man busily engaged in receiving the
contents of his pork barrel from another
within the cellar The old man appro ach-
ed. and the man outside fed. He stepped
up to the cellar window and received the
pieces Of pork from the thief within, who.
after little while. asked his supposed ac-
compice. in a whisper. ''sha'l we take it
alll" The owner of the pork said softly.
Yes, take it ALL and the thief industri-
ously handed up the balance through the
window, and then came up himself I'M

HnicHag This excellent mode Of
treating newly iransplanted trees. has been
found eminently beneficial during the pre-
sent very dry summer. row Of young
apple trees had been set on piece of
ground. where cultivation could not easily
be given. In the early part Of the SUM
mer. they entirely ceased growing. and
on large portion the foliage began TO as
sumo yellow appearance, and their loss
was strongly apprehended. Coarse litter
was then applied TO them to depth OF
several inches, and extending some fee:
about them. So beneficial has been the
result. in retaining the moisture Of the
soil. that although several weeks have
elapsed since. with scarcely a single sho.
wcr during this whole period. they nearly
all have commenced re grow ing. and the
leaves have regained the usual green CO.

NEVER GET ANGRY.-lt does no good
Some sins have 4 seeming compensation
or apology. a present qualification of some
sort. but anger has none. a man feels no
better for IT, 1t is really a torment. and
when the storm of passion has cleared
away. it leaves one TO see that he has been
a fool. And he has made himself a fool
in the eyes Of others too Who thinks
we'll Of an ill-natured. churlish man. who
has TO be approached in the most guarded
and cautious way! Who wishes him for
il neighoor. or a partner in business! lie
keeps all abou, him in nearly the same
state of mind as if they were living next
door TO a hornets nest or a rabld animal.
And as TO prosperity in business, one gets
along no better for getting angry. What
.business is perplexing. and every thing
goes by contraries!' VIII a fit Of passion
make the winds more propitious. the
ground more productive. the markets more
favorable! VIII a bad temper draw GUS
toners. pay notes. and made creditors
better natured! If men, animals, or
senseless matter cause trouble, will get
ting ''nad'' help matters make men
more subservent. brutes more docilc,
wood and stone more tractable! An an
CRY man adds nothing to the welfare OF
society. lie many do some good. but
more hurt. Heated passion makes him a
firebrand. and i, is wonder if he docs
not kindIe flames Of discord on every
hand.--Without much sensbilitv, and Of
ten bcrcft Of reason, he speaketh like the
piercing of sword, and his tongue is as
an arrow shot out He is bad c!emen,
in any community. and his removal would
furnish occasion for a day Of thanksgiv
ing.
Since. then, anger is useless, needless,
disgraceful. without the least apology.

8 deaths were in private practice. OF the remain
der, 9 cases and the same number OF deaths have
occurred at The Aims House. There Is quite dis
proportion in the number of fatal cases. compared
with the previous reports, which leads to the belief
that more cases have occurred, but that the phys-
clans have failed to report them.
The body of female, apparently twenty years of
age, was this morning found floating In the Della

was every indication that she had thrown herself
