ner father recovered, formed plan of repay
ing their kindness and preserving her own sense
OF independence, She gathered up her little
store OF books, and invited all the children to
60 to her for instruction. The plan succeeded,
ana In the fulfllment of her new duties, she re-
allied much happiness.
Again the winter SHOWS melted into spring.
and spring into summer. The settlement was
increased by the addition of several families,
and Kitty's duties as teacher became proper

and the mill fell into other hands.
Sackabason had rejoined his tribe, but he ap-
peared occasionally to make inquiries lor4 Sam.
He always said, {" He come back sartin-he all
right here,' placing his hand upon his heart,
and he was right. One lovely day in October,
just as Kitty had dismissed her school, a sailor
like parsonage approached the cabin. He had
rolling gait, jaunty air, and his face was
covered with profusion of tawny beard. Kitty
bowed distantly at first, and then rushed toward
him with an exclamation of joy.
News of Sans arrival spread like wind and
in an incredibly short space of time Peter Hof-
mans cabin was crowded with settlers to wei
come him back.
What adventures he had encountered what
wonders he had seen Strange people with
strange costumes and strange tongues, wealth
and splendor more wonderful than the tales of
fairy land, but beside them squalor and wretch

Of course there was a wedding and merry

LEGAL EFFECT OF REPEATING HEARsAY SLAM
DERs.-In the last volume of Gray Massachu-
sets Supreme Court Reports there is noticeable
decision. 1t is as follows:
1t seems that q woman uttered slander of
another, and when sued for it, her defense was
that she only repeated what was currently re-
ported that she had no malice, and therefore
was not liable to an action. Judge Thomas
gave the decision. The story, he says, uttered
or repeated by the defendant contains charge
against the plaintiff, of a nature to destroy her
reputation. 1t was false charge. 1t is no
answer, in any forum, to say that she only re-
ported the story as she heard it. If it is false
and slanderous, she must repeat it at her peril.
There is no safety in no other rule. Often the
origin Of SANDER cannot be traced. He who
gi yes 1t circulation gives it its power of mis-
chief. 1t is the successive repetitions that do
the work. A falsehood often repeated gets to
be believed A man cannot say that there is q
story in circulation that A poisoned his wife,
or B picked C's pocket and relate the story,
and when called upon to answer, say, There
was such report In circulation but repeat
ed what heard, and had no design to circulate
or confirm it for two very plain reasons--that
the repetition of the story must, in the nature
of things give it currency and the repetition
without the expression of unbelief, will con-
firm It. The danger is an obvious one, and
long since pointed out ; and it is, that bad men
may give currency to slanderous reports, and
then find in that currency their own protection
from the just consequences of a repetition.

PAPER-MAKING.--In the United States there
are $50 paper mills In active operation. They
produce 7O,0O0,0OO pounds of paper, which,
at an average of ten cents per pound, would
be worth $27 900 900. AS it requires about
pound of paper and one-half of rags to make
one pound OF paper, there are consumed by
these mails 400, 900 900 lbs. of rabs in single

and the ways and cradles were construct

was attended with numerous delays and
difficulties. On the Sd Of November,
1857, the monster being ready for
launching into her destined element. the
6rst attempt to get her into the water
was made. It was Intellectual, as were
also numerous other attempts, on account
