with which to defend myself, and, as
luck would have it, found a heavy
dumb bell in the corner where it lay
concealed. Presently heard the mad
man slowly searching for me. Iraised

The madman lay stunned on the floor.

lock with the heavy metal, and rushed
down stairs. Presently the house was

WoMEE.-The following passage

WoMEE.-The following passage is
from Rural Hours, by Miss Cooper,
daughter of the late ]. Fenimore
Cooper. 1t beautifully expresses the
sentiments of all woman of pure feel
ings and correct principles:
We American women certainly owe a
debt of gratitude to our countrymen
for their kindness and consideration of
us generally. Gallantry may not al
ways take a graceful form in this part
of the world, and mere hattery may be
worth as little here as elsewhere; but
there is glow of generous feeling to-
ward women in the hearts of most
American men which is highly honorable
to them as a nation and as individuals
In no country is the protection given to
women's helplessness more full and free;
in no country is the assistance she re-
ceives from the stronger arm so general
and nowhere does her weakness meet
with more forbearance and considera.
ton. Under such circumstances, il
must be woman's own fault if she be
not thoroughly respected also. The
position accorded to her is favorable
1t remains for her to fill it in a manner
worthy her own sex, gratefully, kindly
and simply; with truth and modesty Of
heart and life; unwavering fidelity ol
feeling and principle; with patience,
cheerfulness, and sweetness of temper
no unfit return to those who smooth
the daily path for her.

"YoUR PAPER DID NOT CONE, SIR"
We recommend careful perusal of the
following plain statement, both to post
masters and subscribers. 1t is from a
paper called The Advance published
at fernando, Mississippi:
The uncertain delivery of papers at
country post Offices, is often the ground
of complaint against publishers and edi-
tors. Many Of the Offices are poorly
supplied with the conveniences Of tax
ing care of papers, no matter with what
certainty they arrive. The papers are
tumbled into few pigeon-holes, or pill
ed upon the desk, box or barrel, to
wait the call of subscribers, in the
midst of boots, hats, brides, horse-col-
lars, and other coarse wares, which may
be called for during the day by custom
ers. Country postmasters, in most cas-
es, being engaged in some mercantile
business, many papers find their way in
to some obscure corner, where they
are hid for time from human eyes as
completely as if buried in mountain
cave. In the meantime, the man comes
for his paper and it can't be found; Of
course, didn't come. The indignant
subsriber, consequently, abuses the ras-
cally editor, and perhaps calls for pen,
ink, and paper, to write letter of COM
plant about not sending his paper pune
tually, when, if the said paper were
endowed with speech, it would cry out,
here / am squeezed to death behind
this box, or under this barrel We
have seen Just such things at many
country post Offices elsewhere, as vel
as in this county. These remarks have
no reference to any particular Office. bu
are meant for all where they will ap

PARODY ON HoHENLINDEN.

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
And new supplies keep up the flow
Of dimes, departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn till night,
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed-
Each seal and signatures displayed
The holders vow they must be paid
With threats of claw and Chancery."
Then to despair we're almost driven
There's precious little use in livin',
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But longer yet these dues shall grow
When interests added on below,
Length ming our chain foot or so,
While gazing at them hopelessly.
IT'S SO, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun;
Before there comes some other one
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens. On. ye brave.
Who would our very bacon savel
Waive, Patronsl all your pretexts waive!
And pay the Printer cheerfully.
Ali it would yield us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of us clear receipt
For papers taken reg'larly.

manifestation of this trait, combined
with the sentiment which gives rise to

IN the street Of st. Petersburg by .
Baroness of his acquaintance, who, af-
ter presenting him with an egg fashion
ed OF beautifully ornamented glass, de-
liberately kissed him on each side of the
face, and then on the mouth. This ex-
ample was copied by several other Of

noble and refined in the capital. Sever

profoundly learned..in the law, formerly,
through their abundant charity, the stay
of the community, now wandering up
and down the streets of Jerusalem seek
ing aims, aye. seeking bread, your hearts
would melt in compassion.
"Already, dreadful to relate, the
father traffics for the sale of his child to
the stranger, so that his offspring may
be spared death from starvation; for be
it known that the offsprings of our ma
ton here, in all the frightful horrors
which at present exist, have never been
surpassed"
We have the best assurance that this
appalling picture of wretchedness and
suffering is not exaggerated, and that
the condition of the Jews in Palestine
at this moment is such as to deserve the
practical sympathy of those to whom
their appeal is addressed. 1t is to be
hoped that in our own favored land
uncursed with war, unvisited by famine,
or pestilence, but abounding in the
wealth and comfort secured by peace
and good government-this appeal will
not be made in vain. 1t strikes US that
if certain American clergymen were to
preach tomorrow the doctrines of true
Christian charity on the subject of this
most touching invocation, instead of
exerting themselves to stir up party
strife and add new gall and bitterness to
the political animosities of the country,
they would approach vastly nearer to
the true discharge of their sacred func-
tons than they are now in the habit of
doing.

The charges have been fostered by the
excited and indignant feelings of giddy
crowd-they have magni6ed mole-hills
into mountains.
And now / appeal to the magnanimi-
ty and generosity of the people to do
me justice. Prove me guilty and then
condemn me; but in the name Of hu-
manity and common sense, and in the
absence of all proof of my guilt, how
can you condemn me? You cannot do
it; you ought not to do it; and you have
no right to do it. You do yourselves
wrong and do me great injustice. 1
know and feel that great injustice has
been done me. From my enemies 1 ex-
pect nothing but persecution; from
wicked hearts bent on evil can expect
nothing better than vile and slanderous
epithets. But 1 should deem it ex-
tremely unkind for any who have been
my friends, and who have known me
for thirty or forty years, to reiterate
those mendacious and unworthy epithets
against one that knows and feels the
deep wounds that have been SO wanton-
ly and wrongly inflicted.
And now that 1 am sixty years of
age, standing at the head of large and
1 trust respectable family, may 1 not
hope to appeal with some degree of
success, to the rejecting men who have
so long known me, to rescue me from
the unhallowed efforts to sink me and
my family, without the knowledge of a
single fact upon which to base even a
remote suspicion that was influenced
by corrupt motives.

His glass with '6Iue ruin, that's made

the spirit Of the Times states that the
best time ever made up to the year 1906
TO have been four-mile heats over the
Washington course in 7,59. This ex-
cited such astonishment that the track
was re-measured, and the judicial time
pieces tested by Mr.. Jeferson's ehro-
nometer. This time was afterwards
beaten by Eclipse. Then Fashion made
the same distance in 1894. 1t has been
beaten by the winners Of 1855 on, at
least. seven different occasions; and
Lecompt, at his recent triumph in New
Orleans, ran four mile heat in 1884.

one of the Hardin county jury on the
trial of Matt. Ward. We copy it partly
because we are requested to do so, part
