the mind to habitual meditation upon

ECONOMY TO TAKE A PAPER. -It pays
to take your county paper and keep pos

something you can. turn to advantage.
The law re4uires that every estray when
taken up shall be published in your coun-

ADVANTAGES OF THE CABLE.-The N.
Y. Tribune refers to historical fact
which shows that our last war, that
of 1912, with Great Britain, probably
would not have been declared, if the
country had at that time enjoyed tele-
graphic communication with Europe
We had many causes Of complaint a.
gainst Great Britain; but one of the
most prominent and palpable was based
on her Orders in Council, by which our
trade with the Continent had been most
outrageously harrassed and crippled
Those Orders IN Council had been. re-
pealed before zoe declared Wo-, though
the fact was unknown and unsupported
here. Had it been known-in' other
words, had the Atlantic Telegraph then
existed--it is quite probable that war
would not have been declared, that fur
ther negotiations would have been had,
and an AMIGA bic redress of grievances
obtained, saving to each country thou
sands of precious lives and hundreds of
millions of dollars Chicxgo Journal

SKELETONS OF MEN TEN FEET HIGH
Mr. William D. Frazer writes to the
Cincinnati Gazette from Winchester In
drama, that half a mile northwest of that
place Is an old fort, including about SO
acres az, OF ground within the fortifcation.
Inc mound in the centre is about TWEEN
ty-hve feet high, while the fort or breast
work Is only about fifteen feet. Direct
iy east and west OF the mound are OPEN
lngs or gateways, around which are 9th
er forts. a quarter of mile, north
west of the fort is the burying ground,
where bones have been exhumed of men
that were perhaps ten feet tall. ANY
one who doubts the latter statement he
says may call at his Office and see the

PAINFUL RoMAnoe.-The. Court Cir
cular states that the eldest son Of a rev
erend prelate, high in the Church, be
came attached to a young lady of very
small fortune.d His father objected to
the matchs and sent him to India with
Sir Colin Campbell. The lover got safe
to his destination, but his heart beat
with rndiminished affection. He could
not avoid communicating his constan-
cy, and wrote to his beloved,f assuring
her that no threats or anger of his I'M
feeling parent should ever Danish the
tender recollection Of their reciprocal
passion. Having occasion at the same
time to write to his father for additional
supplies, he demanded them on the
ground that he had renowned his mis-
tress forever. BY a most unfortunate
accident, the two letters came to En-
gland misdireeted--the one intended for
the parent falling into the hands of the
young lady, and that intended for the
young lady, into the hands of the pa
rent. The latter on the receipt of his
epistle, sent back such an indignant an
swer as fully awakened the son to the
consequences lofthe fatal mistake hehad
made in the direction of the letters.--

not able to combat a feeling of shame
for the unintentional error committed.
