He was cheerful, and assured me that be
placed all his hopes in the other world l.
After a while he showed me to my former
chamber, where soon fell asleep.
It was long time after sunrise when I
awoke. dressed myself quickly and went
down stairs. The old man1still1 sat at the
table, his head resting on his hand, and he
seemed to be reading the Bible!
I was unwilling to disturb him but after
waiting considerable time,I grew impati-
ent, and went to see him to take my leave.
But it was too late-the old man was dead.
The Bible lay open before him, his finger
pointed to the following words: ..The ways

DISH OF PHILOSOPHY. .-Agassiz gives us
the following curious particulars as to an
American fish,.
Il have had ample opportunity to watch
the Pamotis, in the breeding season every
spring, for the last eight years. At that
time it approaches in pairs the shores of the
pond in which it lives, and selects shadows,
gravelly places, overgrown with potamoge-
ton, water lilies, and other aquatic plants,
in which it begins by clearing space OF
about foot in diameter, roofing out the
plants, removing with violent jerks of its
tail the larger pebbles, and leaving clean
spot of fine sand, in which it deposits its
eggs, surrounded and overshadowed by a
grove of verdure In this enclosure one of
the parents remains lowering over its brood
and keeping at distance all intruders.
1.-The office Of watching the progeny does
not devolve exclusively upon either of the
sexes, but the males and females watch al
ternately.i The ferceness with which they
dart at their enemies, and the anxiety with
which they look out for every approaching
danger, show that they are endowed with
stronger instincts than have been known
heretofore in any of their class. Their
foresight goes so far as to avoid the bait at
tached to any hook, however near it may be
brought to them, and however lively and
tempting it may be. However near to one
another, the pair of one nest does not inter-
fere with those of another; but, like good
neighbors, they live peaceably together,
passing over each others domains when go
ing out for food without making any distur-
bance. But when an unmatched fish makes
its appearance amongst the nests, he is
chased away like an intruding libertine and
vagabond. The development of the egg is
very rapid. In less than a week the young
are hatched, and the parents cease to take
any further care of them

AN ARKANSAS FATHER's ADVICE TO HIS
SoN.-Bob you are now leaving home for
strange parts. You're going to throw me
out of the game, and go italone.. The odds
is agin. you Bob, but remember always that
industry and perseverance are the winning
cards; they are the 'bowers.'' Book larn-
ing and all that sort of thing, will do to fll
| up with. like small trumps, but you must
have the bowers. to back 'em, else they ain t
worth shucks. If luck runs agin you pref
ty strong don't cave in and look like sick
chicken on rainy day. but hold your head
up and make 'em believe you're flush of
1trumps they won't play so hard agin you.
I've lived and travelled around some Bob,
and I've found out as soon as folks thought
you held a weak hand, they'd all back agin
you strong. So when you're sorter weak,
keep on bold front, but play cautious be
satisfied with, a pint. Many's the hand
I've seen ''euchred'' cause they played for
too much. Keep your eyes well skined, Bob;
don't let 'em mig" on you recollect the
game lays as much with the head as with
the hands. Be temperate, never get drunk,
for then no matter how good your hand,
you won't know how to play it; both bow
ers and the ace won't save you. for there's
sartin to be .'miss deaT' or something
wrong. And another thing, Bob, (this
was spoken in a low tone) don't 60 too much
on the women. queens is kinder poor cards;
the more you have of 'em the worse for you;
you might have three, and nary trump. I
don't say discard 'em all; if you get hold of
one that's a trump, it's also better as good,
and there's sartin to be one out of four
And above all, Bob, be honest; never take
a mans trick wot don't belong to you, nor
"slip" cards, or mig" for then you can't
look your man in the face, and when that's
the case there's no fun in the game it's re-
gular "cut throat" So now, Bob, fare
we'll. remember what I tell you, and you'll
be shure to win. and if you don't; sarves
you right if you get ''skunked."

IHE REVIEW AND CORONER HARTMANN.-The
Re1Iel0 Of yesterday morning contains an unealled
for attack upon Coroner Hartmann, relative TO the
recent inquest on the body of ROsanns Ready, but
fails to make any stronger point against him, than
that he continued the investigations of the jury as
long as any new test GfS5inQpE apqld be IHa hapnSdbi 6d
been buried with such apparent indecent haste as TO
excite suspicion. He at once set to work to hunt
up the grave, which he succeeded in finding after
days search" Were this statement of the sim
pie facts in the case, it would be nothing more
than would be expected and required of him
to do as a public officer, but the body was
buried on Sunday afternoon, and exhumed on
Monday morning, so that his days work in hunting
up the grave is nowhere. 1t is nsinuated that the
Coroner did all in his power to get the money which
was known to be in the womans possession before
she died, into his own hands for his private benefit
and, the ReUielo adds, 'tIn one humble judgment,
II any money was missing, the Police authorities
were the persons whose province it was to hunt
it up" Hadthe writer learned the facts in the
case, he would have been spared the labor of writ
ing the above. The Coroner refused to go on with
the investigation, as to the whereabouts of the
money and clothes of the deceased, although The
attorney of the daughter wished it, alleging tha
that matter was outside of HE Jurisdiction. HI
simply made what examination was necessary t.
show the connection the money had with the dealt
of the woman, and that being known, he closed th
evidence. The disposition of the clothes an
money will be investigated in another court Tn
Revielos filings and sneers at Coroner Hartmann
written to CRAFTY personal spite need no notio

ing all promised fair, and the merry sound of

morning the cold storm had given way to one of
rain and sleet, which rapidly dissipated the snow

warming large rooms is manufactured by Van
Brooklyn & Jones, of Youngstown. Every care
seems to have been taken to piOducea model that
should combine the greatest amount of heating

in attending. The casting is smooth and hand

The one we are using in our press room weighs
more than five hundred pounds, and answers bet

so well do we like it that we have ordered Sec

MORNING LEADER.
Thanksgiving Enlarged and Improved.

anu AAupIoNtua
We remember the days of yore Thank sgiv-
ings in old Connecticut, and they were goOdly
days. On the 25th we Unexpectedly found our
selves seated with the Widow ana Children of
Edward Hinman, an early settler in the town
of Atwater, Portage county, at an ample table
laden with all the varied products of the gar
den, the field, the sea, the coop, the sty, the
stall and the store prepared to please the pal
ate in every form. Some sixty souls were pres
ent. Infancy in dependent loveIiness just
blooming into chiIlhOod-Childhood sweetly
innocent, just blooming into youth-Youth in
its beauty just opening into the maturer graces
of developed manhood and womanhood-Man-
hood, male and female, ripening into age, and
age ripened and waiting to pass into that life
where all ages bloom in eternal Ioveliness,
were all blended in the scene. TOOthless in
fancy smiled on the breast of the young moth
er, from whose features the traces of childhood
had scarce faded. Elder sisters led their moth
er's little ones by the hand Elder brothers
looked from the verge of manhood on brothers
in the bloom of childhood. Sisters who had
become mothers, and Brothers who had be-
come fathers and grand-fathers, bore each their
own and reflected each the others graces.-
Toothless age looked with fearful gladness on
the blending life, strength and beauty that had
taken its being from her bosom. The long
cherished Pastor was invited to share their
festivities and utter their thanks to God, and
with his wife, participated in the glad eelebra-
ton of united hearts. Life has been bountiful
and health merciful to this famiIy-Disease
has afflicted slightly-Death stricken sparingly
among them. The cherished lkenesses of
those Death had taken passed gently from hand
