dette, Clark had suffered a severe re
buff from the lovely Miss Cation. In {
spirit of true penitence, he hurried tc
Philadelphia, saw Zulime, and declared
his determination to proclaim their mar.
riage. But it was too late. She in
formed him that she was Mrs. Gardette
Clark was deeply distressed at this, and
exhibited sincere penitenee. He sought
to atone for his desertion of the mother,
by kindness to the daughter, who was
born in 1906, of the secret marriage
This was Myra Clark. She was placed
in charge of an intimate friend OF
Clark's, Col. Davis, who raised and
educated her as his own daughter. 1t
was not until she had reached maturity,
when Myra discovered the secret of her
history. Since then as Mrs. Whitney
and Mrs. Gaines, she has prosecuted
her claim to the property of Daniel
Clark, as his lawful heir, with a zeal,
earnestness and energy, which have
rarely been equalled in the annals of
litigation. The difficulty has been to
establish the marriage between Zulime
and Daniel Clark. Certainly a mystery
has long been over this case, which
only the dead could they rise from their
graves will perhaps ever satisfactorily
determine
The once lovely Zulime, passing
through so many reverses and misfor-
tunes, returned in her old age, to New
Orleans-her old home-and passed a
peaceful and happy life, in the family of
her son, respected and beloved for her
many virtues. She died at the age of
rs, the youngest of her family-two of
her sisters having attained their Goth
year, a longevity common to the in
habitants of Louisiana, and particularly
those born on our sea coast.

that has any defect that can impair its
value.
After they have been inspected and
stamped the head or iron part, is
dipped in Asphaltum to prevent it from
rusting. Then each tool is weighed,
and label with the signature of Sam'l
w. Collins, is put on every collins"
tool, that it may more readily be dis
tinguished from the counterfeits. Then
each one is enyeloped in paper, to Sc
cure it more effectually against rust,
and finally they are packed up, one
dozen in a box, and are sent off on
their travels, not only all over the
United States, but to Canada, Cuba,
Mexico, Yucatan, Guatimala, Peru,
Australia, and other foreign countries.
There IS no room for humbug or
quackery in this business. An axe is
tool constantly subjected to a very Sc
we're test of its qualities, and the Col
Inns Co., could not possibly have main
tanned such steady superiority of
reputation for more than quarter Of
century, unless their tools really pos
sessed superior qualities, such, as neces-
sarily imply superior care and cost in
their manufacture. When the amount
and value of the labor expended in
wearing out an axe is taken into con-
sideration, the reason is obvious why
the carpenter and wood-chopper esteem
the best tool to be the cheapest IN the end.
One great evidence Of the superiority
and high reputation of the Collins tools,
is, that their stamps has been so extern
siyely counterfeited, and that no at
tempts have been made to counterfeit
other stamps on edge-tools. Their
mode of punching the eye of the axe
through solid iron, gives their tools
great superiority, as it makes a much
smoother and stronger eye than is made
by welding in the usual way.
l have alluded to the process of
shaving axes to an edge, but that is not
applied to tools with bevel, like Broad
axes, AIDES, &c. Tools of that de-
scription are brought to an edge on
grindstones. Although / have men
toned axes more particularly, the picks,
and sledges, and other tools made by
Collins d Co., are as well known as
their axes, and their mining tools are
preferred in the gold mines of Califor-
MIA and Australia. They spare no pains
or expense to make as perfect an article
as the best machinery and most skillful
workmen can make with the best mate
rials that can be obtained, and every
tool that bears their genuine stamp, is
warranted to do good service. l think
that such enterprise, industry and per-
severance, as they have manifested, is
worthy of its legitimate reward, and the
attempts to filch their good name and
reputation, should be discountenanced
by every honest man. Many choppers
have been most grossly imposed upon
with the counterfeit axes. They are
often told that the stamp of "H. Col
lins, means Hartford Collins. News
paper editors who wish to expose fraud,
and favor honest industry, will confer
favor on the laboring portion of COM
munity, by publishing this article, or so
much of it as contains the necessary in
formation. K. S. W.

age of 81 commenced, and continued
for years, habit of daily reading and
speaking, upon the contents of some his

corn field, and at others in the forest,
and not unfrequently in some distant
barn, with the horse and the OK for nv
auditors. 1t is to this early practice Of
the great art of arts, that l am indebted
for the primary and leading impulses
that stimulated me forward, and have

VALUE OF BIRDs.-Many years ago
the coffee plants in the islands Of NADIA
gascar were attacked by a grakle, a
well known bird on the african coast.
The grakle is an insect feeder, but hav-
ing used up the supply it betook itself in
pure necessity to coffee. An edict was
speedily issued and carried into effect
for the humiliation Of grakles, and
every bird on the island was destroyed.
All went on well for year or two;
when 10 and behold, the insects and
their Larvae, having the field to them
selves, began to make sad havoc upon
the coffee. What was to be done?-a
There was no alternative but of bring
ing back the grakle. which was in due
season imported. The coffee planters
had. however, gained something BY ex-
perience. and they resolved to profit by
the same; they managed to keep the
grakle within bounds, and they well
knew that he would do the same by the
insects. s

OLD MEMORIES.

Old MemoriesI Old Memories!
What precious things they arel
How close they cling around the heart,
How dearly cherished there!
How often we will cast aside
The cup of promised bliss,
And gladly turn US to the past,
So fraught with happiness.
Let others boast of coming joys,
And tell how brightly shine
Their hopes of future happiness
Be memory's pleasure mine;
l would not lose the consciousness
Of one good action done,
To weave the brightest web of bliss
The fancy ever spun.
Old Memoriesl Old Memories!
OH how they stir the heart;
How oft smile will part the lips,
How oft tear will start,
As memory, faithful to her trust,
Brings other scenes again,
Al al enclI feI LIuInlulneSS
Of pleasure or of pain!
OH who would lose the memory
Of childhood's early day;
Would wipe mothers tenderness,
A fathers care away:
A dear, dear brothers earnest love,
A gentle sisters smile.
The joyous friend of early years,
When life was glad the whilel
Oh, who would roll the Lethean wave
Above the early youth,
When early light seemed all undimmed,
And all unsullied truth!
Nay, nay, amid life's later scenes,
Amid its cares and tears.
These are green spots to which we turn,
Through all our after years.
There's many light from by-gone
days
Around my pathway cast;
There's many a treasure garnered in
The unforgotten past;
Then unmolested let me dwell
From present scenes apart,
And CLEAN from memory's treasure
house
A lesson for the heart.

What is an Aristocrats

Casimer Perier, on being called an
aristocrat. replied, ''My only aristocracy
is the superiority which industry, fru-
gality, perseverance and intelligence will
always insure to every man in a free
state of society; and | belong to those
privileged classes, in which you may all
belong in your turn. They are not pri-
vileges created for US, but by us. Our
position in society is not conferred upon
US, but purchased by ourselves-with
our own intellect, application, zeal, pa
tience and industry. If you remain in
ferior to US, it is because you have not
the talent, the industry, the zeal or the
sobriety, the patience or the application,
necessary to your advancement. You
wish to become rich as some do to be-
come wise; but there is no royal road to
wealth more than there is to knowledge.
The husbandman who, will not till his
ground shall reap nothing but thistles
and briars. What right have you who
do nothing for yourselves, families, or
yonr country, or mankind, to imagine
that you will be selected BY your fellow
citizens for their favor, their confidence,
their rewards? If by aristocrat, you
mean one who has earned bis promotion
by his industry, then indeed am Ian
aristOcrat; and please God 1 may always
remain SO. You are too idle to labor,
and too proud to beg. l throw back

suicide in Wheeling, Va, few days
since, had previously attempted self-de-
struotion on three several occasions-one
byswallowing opium dissolved in liquor,
creosote, and then again gypsum. but
was each time, foiled by the seasonable
discovery of the act, and the application
of proper remedies. Owing to this un-
accountable passion for suicide, she was
closely watched, but finally succeeded
in ending her life by hanging herself
with ribbon tied to the bed post. She
had been of a melancholy turn of mind
for some time, and such an inveterate
smoker, that it was frequently thought
prudent to hide from her, for a short
interval, her pipe and tobacco.
