summer OF 1913. This is the Incident
The squadron Of Commodore Decatur had
been chased into New London Harbor bv n

the town was mOmeDta,ily expected. It
was of great importance that the fort on

messenger WAS sent in haste through the
village to procure flannel.
The Inhabitants had mostly pa ked their
goods and were carrying them off to places
less exposed. Mrs. Bailey was sending her
effects away, and had or y few necessary
articles left in the house. She was crossing
the street to a neighbor's door, when the
messenger having travsrSed the villa gc, ask

make cartridges, accostcd her ami made
known his errand and ill success. Without

hearty laugh, expressing wish, the import

The bystande's we're much amused, and
uttered shout Of admiration. The mes
senger fastened with his prize to the for

ishears-d to the whole garrison, and the
sacrificed skirt being unroled aud displayed
was received with loud acciamalonS; the
men, rearing it up on the pixies, declaring

Blessings.

How much do we realize the saying,
BLESSINGS brighten as they take their
flight" When we are surrounded by kind
friguds, who protect and free US from all
harm. care md anxiety, and provide for
nearly every want OF our hearts, how little
do we think OF the great blessings that they
are bestowing upon Us, until deprived OF
them. And it is then, indeed, that we fully
,nnrpciate their value. How frequently do
We cast longing looks toward the future,
and wish that time would hasten its pace
little thinking that the short time that is
allotted to man, is 50 rapidly drawing II Il
close, and how small a part is used in the
cultivation of mind, and to prepare for that
great Change which awaits IS at tie last
day, and for which we were placed here to
prepare. And yet we hecd. .esS'y rush on
and almost lose sight of our true existence.
Would not many gladly have times progress
hasten on more rapidly, and have the hours
pass less heavily, by spending them in plea
sure, at different places Of amusement and
frivolity. We are ever signing for the gol-
den baubles of pleasure and happiness which
arc like those in the fable of the creerde.
We seldom appreciate the precious boon
until it has flown, and too late we cherish
the memory Of happiness as no more valua
BILE than the reality. Our youth is past. and
with it the happiest hours have vanished
unappreclated by us. The long wished for
time has arrived, which we confidently
thought would crown US with happiness.
But our hopes end with disappointment, and
we are called ito assume our share in the

Last evening, after the shower. we were
treated to a rainbow, or at least, the end of
one, and after that, when the sun was about
an hour high, to delicately tinted and beau
tiful mirage-an optical illusion by which
the whole southern shore Of the Illinois Riv-
er, for almost the entire distance between
La Sale and Ottawa, was reflected from the
mellow clouds above, exhibiting in distinct
and bold relief the trees. roads, honSes, eve
rything, as plainly as if but half a mile dis
tant. This is a phenomenon rarely seen;
and those who have read with mingled won
der and incredulity, of the beautiful but de-
ceitftll mirage of the Saharan desert, may
pass lifetime without another opportunity
OF beholdng it. 1t remained visible, from
