ES- They tell good story of an old
fashioned wealthy codger of this ilk. He
was never known to have anything in the
line ofnew apparel but once. Then he
was going on journey, and had to pur-
chase a new pair of oots. The stage left
before day, and SO he got ready and VERT
to the hotel to stop for the night. Among
a whole row of boots, in the morning he
could not find the old familiar pair. He
had forgotten the new ones--he hunted
and hunted in vain. The stage was ready,
so he looked carefully round to see that
he was not observed, put on a nice pair
that fitted him, called the waiter and told
him the circumstance, giving him v for
the owner Of the boots when he should
call for them. The owner never called (!

The Citizen and no Citizen.

Mr.. Frederick Leopold, citizen of the
United States, who last summer was seized
in Hanover, for military service due to the
king thereof, has returned to bis home in
this city. He states that he was seized
at night and Immediately taken to prison.
His baggage was searched and all his
money taken from him for time. The
keepers of the prison gave him only a
blanket for his bed, and only bread and
water to eat. He sent for the American
Consul, but he said he could do nothing
for him, and so Mr.. Leopold compounded
the matter by paying $3.50, fora substi-
tute. Thus it seems, that, though an
American citizen, yet inasnuch as he cmi-
grated to this country without leave, he
was still liable to serve in the army of the
King of Hanover. 1t seems to US that
the time has como for the United States
to take and maintain some position on
this subject. IL our naturalized citizens
are not citizens in fact, then it were as
we'll that our war Of 1912 with Great
Britain had never been waged. If such
persons are citizens Of the United States,
they should be protected as such; il they
are not, it IS time they should know it,
and at least dispense with the idle cere-
mony and expense of renouncing all form
er allegiance, and taking out naturaliza-
ton papers, charleston STANDARD.

Young Men, Help Yourselves.

PRovIDENcE, we are told, helps those
who help themselves. A true proverb.
and worthy to be stamped on every heart,
Passing on through life you will find ma
ny stream that will cross your path-but
don't sit down and mourn. If you can't
wade across, throw stones to stand upon.
and you will soon be safe on the opposite
side. To-day you are opposed in your
project. Don't stop--don't go back
meet the opposer-persevere and you will
conquer--Providence will assist you. You
have failed in business--come out from
under the, toad-stool Of despondency aud
try again. Zounds ! il you don't help
yourselves and persevere you will do moth
ing, and be punched at by every beggar
and every pauper on crutchcs who passes
along.

Mems 9teus, Mt,
Fatal Rail Road Accident---Narrow
Escape Of General Pierce
kJk Death of his Son.

We regret to perceive from a telegraphic
dispatch in the Baltimore papers that a
frightful accident occurred on the Boston
and Maine Rail Road about noon on
Thursday, whereby the life of the Presi-
dent elect was greatly endangered, and his
only son instantly killed. When near the
town Of Andover, in Massachusetts,, the
train was thrown off the track by some
obstruction, and precipitated down an en-
bankment tweenty feet high, turning
somerset, and falling upon a pile of rocks
at the bottom Of the embanEment. The
cars at the time were filled with passen-
gers, among whom were Gen. Pierce, his
lady and only son, an interesting boy of
ten years. Gen. Pierce was the first to
extricate himself from the fragments Of
the car, which was literally smashed to
atoms; and though sound in limb, he COM
plains of considerable pain in his back
Lis son was instantly crushed to DEATH
Mrs. Pierce received a number Of severe
contusions, none of which, however, are
considered dangerous. Many other pas
sengers were badly bruised, and the down
train brought in six or eight of the wound
ed. The citizens of Andover were as
siduous in their attentions to the suffer
ers.
The Washington National Intelligcn-
Ger states that this terrible visitation is the
more deplorable, as the fine boy thus so
suddenly snatched from life was the single
remaining one Of the only three children
with which the afflicted parents have been
blessed. The whole country, we are con
fident, will deeply sympathize in their be-
reavement, whilst it will rejoice that the
parents themselves were preserved from
the same terrible fate.

An Eastern Wonder.

The author of The Spiritual Medium
quotes the following singular fact from a
well authenticated source. 1t is given in
illustration of the power Of the East Indi-
an devotees over the nervous principles:
A devotee, on wager, submitted to
the following test. After giving directions
what should be done to him, he threw him
self into a swoon. He was then sewed in
Il bag placed in box, and buried in a
tomb built of solid brick-work. The door
was then bricked up and sealed, and
sentries placed before it for whole month
The tomb was then opened, and his body
taken out. His month, as he directed be-
fore hand, was pried open, and little milk
poured into it; and though he had been
without food, drink and air for thirty DAYS
he revived and sat up. The next day he
was able to mount camel and start of
on a journey expressing himself in very
indignant terms that the parties who had
put him to the test did not rcmunerate
him more literally for his trouble The
writer adds l read few weeks ago, in
an Indian paper, that the same devotee
had repeated the same feat at some other
place, with equal success

How They Used to Plow.

In some parts Of Scotland, in former
times, the plows used to be drawn by four
horses abreast, and required the assistance
of three men. The business of one man
was to drive. For that purpose he placed
himself between the middle horses, with
his face towards the plow, to guide it
straight, and in this position he stepped
backwards with the reins in his hand An
other walked behind the horses with a
clicked, staff which he fastned in front of
the beam, and by means Of it regulated
the depth of the furrow by raising or
lowering the plow, as occasion required.
The plowman followed with his hands
hold ofthe stills; and in this Formidable and
ludicrous manner they repeated their
attacks on the soil.
In harvest, a basket machine. was plao-
ed on horseback for carrying homo the
grain; and persona were employed on each
side with forks to keep it in a proper poise
1t is said that the practice is yet to be met
with in Galloway. -
Many practices existing even at this day
in Ireland are still more ridiculous. Mr..
Arthur Young tells us, that in Donegal he
has actually seen horses plowing by the
tail. W

ES~ WE were good deal amused, at
an anecdote we heard the other day, of a
certain preacher whose calling confined
him within the limits of old Kentucky
He had preached in his parish many years,
and of course ran short OF the eloquence
so much needed to keep his hearers awake
and astonished. Let him preach ever so
well, it made no difference, they had got
used to him and used to sleeping, and
sleep they would to his great annoyance,
AT last he bit upon an expedient to bring
EN- up standing, as the saying is. He
procured small tin whistle which he took
with him into the pulpit and after taking
his text and "blazing away" till his lungs
were sore, and his hearers all comfortable
doing and nodding approval to each 9th
er, he suddenly drew it forth and gave a
shnll toot-a-toot. In an instant the whole
congregation was awake and on their feet,
staring at the minister, at each other, and
wondering what in the names of pickles
and humann ature, as Sam Slick says,
was 'to come next.
You're set of fine humanity, amt
you !" said the divine whistler, as he slow
~ gazed around on the astonished assem-
blage.

The House adjourned instantly, and the
members rushed 70 the hotel and telegraph
Office, and the most intense anxiety to OBJ
tain particulars has prevailed ever since.
The little boy was Il great favorite with
our town people. He was agreeable, kind

playmates. When asked, the other day,
We'll Benny, how do you expect to like

Mr.. Newell Of Cambridge, one of the
passengers is injured beyond the possibili-
ty of recovery.

lady are still at Andover, suffering slight
ly from their injuries, and overwhelmed
with grief at the loss of their only child.

Curious Love Story.

a very curious story is told by several
ancient writers respecting Egivard, a sec
retary to CharleInagne, and daughter OF
that emperor. That secretary fell in love
with the princess, who at length allowed
him to visit. One winters night he stay
ed with her very late, and in the mean
time Il deep snow had fallen. If he left,
his footmarks would be observed, and yet
to stay would be TO expose him to danger.
At length the princess resolved to carry
him on her back to neighboring house,
which she did. 1t happened however,
that from the window of his bedroom the
emperor saw the whole affair. In assem-
bly, of his lords on the following day,
when Egivard and his daughter were pre-
sent, he asked what ought to be done to
man who compelled a kings daughter
to carry him on her shoulders, through
frost and snow, in the middle of winters
night' They answered that he was worthy
of death. The lovers were alarmed; but
the emperor, addressing Egivard, said,
"Hadst thou loved my daughter, thou
shouldst have como to me; thou art worthy
of death, but give thee two lives. Take
thy fair porter in marriage; fear God and
love one another"

Paper on Bed Room Walls,

MANY fever has been caused by the
horrible nuisance Of corrupt size used in
paper-hanging iu bedrooms. The nausea
which the sleeper is aware of on waking
in the morning, in such a case, should be
a warning needing no repetition. Down
should come tho whole paper, at any cost
or inconvenience: for it is an evil which
allows ofno tampcring.
The carless decorator will say that
time will set all right--that the
smell will 60 otf-that airing the room
well in the day, and burning some pun
gent thing or other at night, in the mean
time, will do very well; for health, and
even life may be lost in the interval. 1t
it not worth while TO have ones s.omach
impaired for life, or ones nerves shattered,
for the sake Of the cost and trouble of
papering room, or whole house, il
necessary. The smell is not the griev-
ance, but the token of the grievance. The
grievance is animal putridity, with which
we are shut up, when this smell is per-
ceptible in our chambers. Down should
come the paper; and the wall behind it
should be scraped clear of every particle
Of its last covering.
II is astonishing that so lazy practice
~ that OF putting a new paper over an
old one shold exist to the extent it does.
Now and then an incident occurs which
shows the effect of such absurd carrless-
ness. Not long'ago handsome house
IN London became intolerable to sue
cession of residents, who could not endure
q mysterious bad smell which prevailed
is when shut up from the outer air. Con-
suItations were held about drains, and all
the particulars that could be thought of,
and al in vain. AT last clever young
man who examined the house from top to
bottom, axsd hls suspicious on certain
room, whore he inserted s1small slip Of
glass in the wall. It was prczently cover
cd, and that repeatedly, with sort Of
putsid dew. Tho paper was torn down,
and behindit was found mass Of old
papers an inch thick, stuck together with
their layers Of size, and exhibiting spec

In fact they were indispensable. The

CHATTER III.


TnE father Of Henry Eastman was a
man Of wealth and standing in the COM
munity in which he lived. Besides Hen
ry, he had one, and only one other child
IA daughter. Florence Eastman was
seventeen years Of age, and all that q
kind parent, aided by an abundance OF
this worlds goods, could do, was lavished
upon her; but, more than all, Nature had
done that which neither kindness nor
wealth could. Possessed Of rare beauty,
and amiable temperament, and bewitch-
ing but artiess manners, many had flock
ed to the standard Of beauty, and sought
by all the stratagcms Of art and love, to
capture the heiress, but each alike shared
the same fate; and perhaps Florence East
man might have been spared many bitter
m )ments in after life, and have ultimately
died an old maid, but for casual circum-
stance which placed her in company with
Charles Newman, and where after many
pleasant walks and rides, the lover woood
and won"
Henry Eastman sighed because sister
Flor. on the next day would be married 10
Charles Newman. The inquiry naturally
suggests itself-did he have causei
Charles Newman was Of an honorable
family, and, what is Of more significance
jn the eyes Of the world, was rich man.
The father Of Florence at first refused to
give his consent TO the marriage ofhis only
daughter with Newman. He was led to
DO 50, not from an unfounded prejudice To-
wards the young man, neither could he
bring any direct accusation against his
character, for the world esteemed him
highly, and gossip very naturally declared
that Florence Eastman was doing we'll
but the old man found that his daughter
admirer was too fond Of The exhileyatin0
influence OF the intoxicaiing wine-cur.
At first, he refused his consent. but ae

ing how ardently attached his daughter

Her happiness was his, and devoid Of ali
selfish and groyelling feelings, his sole de-
sire was 10 sec bis children exhibit, while
he lived, those cheerful, happy oounten-
an,es, the SPONTANEOUS influence Of con-
tented hoarss.
