hea2ed treasure together for the last day. Be.

down your fields, which is of you kept back,
crieth and the cries of them which have
reaped, are entered into the ears of the Lord
Of Ssbaoth!o s.rn ..-
"And yet you never preached that to me!''
shrieked the dying man.
The preacher, who had blundered through
the passage from James, which we have quo
ted, knew not what to say. He was, perchance,
terrified by the very dying look of his dying
parishioner.
Then the wife drew near and strove TO COM
fort him, and then the son (who had been read
ing the will, } attempted word or two of con-
ISOLATION. ~
And with the dollar in his hand he sank in
to death, talking of stock, of rent, of copper
mine and camel OF tenant and Of debtor,
until the breath left his lips. Thus he died.
When he was cold, the preacher rose and
asked the lawyer whether the deceased had
left anything to such and such a charita BILE
society, which had been engrafted upon the
preachers church.
And the wife closed his eyes and tried 10
wrench .he dollar from his hand but in vain He
clufched it as though it were the only savior
to light him through the darkness of eterni-
t..
And the son sat down with dry eyes ard
thought of the hundreds Of thousands which
we've now his own.
Next day there was hearse followed by a
train of carriages nearly mile in length. There
was crowd around an open grave, and an ele-
giant sermon upon the virtue of the deceased,
by the preacher.
There was fu;tering Of era pc badges, and
rolling Of carriages, and-no tears. They left
the dead man and returned to the palace,
where sorrow died even as the Grape was taken
from the door-knob.
And in the grave the dead hand still clench-
ed the collar.

of rum is represented by all who saw II to
have been vapory substance; it was not ac-
companied by anv wind or storm, but seemed
an independent agency, travelling on It's own
account, at speed of perhaps mile minute.
In its motion there was constant revolution,
and when it was rising the whirling peculiari-
ty became more terrific and violent. The pecu-
liar buzzing sound which was noticed in its
passage by our own citizens was also remark
ed by the people along its course in Deerfeld
and Schuyler.
All the peculiariies attending the phenom-
enon seemed to demand scientific inyestiga-
tion as TO its cause and peculiar effect. What
agency could produce such results except elec-
tricity We are unable to comprehend, and yet
the strange proofs of destruction exhibited can
not well be explained on any popular theory
come ected with this wonderful agency. The
trees are still green in the leaf and healthfu,
in the bud, and neither wood or metallic sub.
stance with which the element came in con-
tact bear the slightest mark of heat, OF Stow
the usual marked effects Of atmospheric con-
tact as destroying power. But we have no
solution of our own that is at all satisfactory
to ourselves even, much less to give the read
er. The subject is one worthy OF scientific ex-
position; and as the facts and evidences at
tending the phenomenon are fresh and easily
accessible, We hope some one will undertake
the task of reducing to the standard of the pub
lie mind comprehensive explanation Of the
occurrence.
The lady who was killed was thiriy-one
years Of age; the child so badly injured is about
five years of age. The building which the
family occupied was known as the Baptist par
sonage, and is about five miles from the city
on the road leading through Schuyler Corners.
Yesterday several parties visited the scene of
disaster, and all agree that no description of
the utter ruin wrought can suffice to convey
any just conception to the public mind.

A Beautiful Extract.

The following paragraph, from the May
number Of the Wisconsin Farmer, were written
by Prof, ]. w. Hoyt, one Of its editors. They
contain both poetry and sublime truth. The
article from which we clip them is upon "The
Plant-Source and Nature of its Food" and
contains more interesting facts on the subject
Of agriculture than many writers condense into
an ordinary volume. He says:
"To the majority of men, We are satisfied
the soil is nothing but dirt but I'd the chemist
who knows its origin, its history, its nature and
its capabilities, it is wonderful mixture Of
those beautiful elements which in their ever.
varying forms, become the ambient air, the
liquid ocean, the precious opal, the amethyst.
the jasper aud the still more precious diamond;
or the delicate blue-belI and the violet, the
amaranth, the lilly and the rose bud, the spire
Of bluegrass and the cedar Of Lebanon or
again the ruby lip, the matchless orb OF the
love lit eye, the nobIy palpitating heart, and
yet more wonderful brain!
These are the jewels of which the soif is
composed, and ont of which the husbandnan an
SO unheedingly strives to force the food hunger
Graves.
Henceforth, as he turns the furrow of his
field, let the sleep of his thought be broken by
the reflection. This earth, thus stirred by my
is doubtless composed in palt Of
the ashes Of ancestral heroes, whose deeds are
the history of the past, and whose mortal re-
mains are the plastic material out of which,
we are building the bodies Of the men ro-dayp'

twenty one his profits exceed his expenditures

4. In speaking or writing, first understand
the subject-then speak or write so plain that
others may understand it, and do all with az
few words as possible. - Is aH
5. Mento is an original thinker; his belly is
prolific, his mind is continually generating new
ideas, but his outlet of grafton is small. Pam
cor, on the other hand, has but little furniture
in the middle story; but having good eyes, ears,
hands, and tongue, he avails himself of what
Mento has forged out for him, and shines
bright and flies high on borrowed wings.
6. Most questions have two, and some, like
cube, have six equal sides. Turn which
way you will, in sentiment or practice, some
evil consequence follows. In such cases, the
least possible evil is the greatest possible
good. .aeeL
T.. He who strives to DO right, and conquers
his own ill-habits and propensities, viii find
but little time to censure others. From this it
does not follow, that the good man should JUS
tify the errors of others.
To err, is manlike; to repent, is saintlike; to
forgive, is Godlike.-John Leland.

while the train is in motion. When train
arrives IN Paris, the mail bags are directly
carried to the train about to leave the city,

are made up twice day-to many cities three
or four times. All public conveyances carry

they deliver il to the post Office, which gives
them another on their return uip. Money
