t-Y remember once, when 1 was q young
man, living up in New Hampshire, they dedi.
Gated new bridge, and invited a young law
yer to deliver an Oration. The lawyer had
never yet, after fortnight's practice, had the
honor of being retained, and the opportunity
OF establishing reputation was admirable
The day came, and with it to the bridge came
the multitude and the orator. He had made
no written preparation, that being, he had
been told, unlawyer-like-a lawyer being sup
posed to be capable of speaking without note
or notice any number of hours, on any subject,
In style of thrilling eloquence So our orator
trusted to the occasion. He stood out upOn the
platform. and amid the profound attention of
his audience, commenced: "Fellow-citizens,
fve-and-forty years ago this bridge, built by
your enterprise, was part and parcel of the
bowling wilderness" He paused a moment
Yes, fellow-citizens, only FIVE and forty year,
ago, this bridge, where we now stand. was
part and parcel of the bowling wilderness ~
Again he paused. Cries of 'Good, go on "
Here was ''the rub Il feel it hardly neces-
sary to repeat, that this bridge, feliow-citi.
zens, only fve-and-forty years ago. was part
and parcel of the bowling wilderness; and
will conclude by saying that 1 wish to heaven
1t was part and parcel of it now ~

FEAT or RAILROAD EMPLoYEE.-A recent
achievement of brakeman on the Michigan
Central Railroad exhibits degree of skill and
presence of mind that renders it we'll worthy of
record; Last Thursday night when the passen-
ger train coming eastward was between Chelsea
and Dexter, broken rail was encounter red,
throwing, we believe, one car from the track.
A freight train was known to be coming on be-
hind, and brakeman-Nelson linus, a Young
man, who makes his home at Ann Arbor-re.
traced the track half mile, equipped with red
lantern, the signal of danger When the train
loomed in sight the red light was waved in the
usual manner, but there was no movement on
the part of the engineer to indicate that he had
diScerned the signal. 1t became obvious to
linus that the difficulty lay in the steam having
become congealed on the window to such an
extent as to obstruct the engineers vision, and
having no torpedoes to place on the track-an
appliance sometimes resorted to-he was left
entirely to his own resources. Taking his DO.
sitiOn as near to the track as was consistent
with safety, as the machine came laundering
along, with well-directed aim he hurled his
lantern into the window, SCATTERING it as well
as the lantern, into small fragments, some of
which struck the engineer, who, seeing and
'making note Of the red pieces, Of course re-
veTsed the engine in time to avoid a serious ac
cident.-DetrOit Tribune

BADLY soLD:-A little affair happened the
other day, which is too good to be lost. Mr.. A.
called on one of our farmers, asked him the
price OF oats, and was informed that they were
worth 20 cents per bushel. He agreed to pay
40 cents, on condition that he be permitted to
tramp them in the half bushel 10 secure the
bargain he paid for twelve bushels, and the
next day took his wagon and went after them
Inc farmer filled the half bushel, and Mr. A.
sol IN ana gave them a most vigorous tramp
ing contracting their proportions consid arr blv
me farmer thereupon emptied the oats into
the bag without filing up the measur.. Mr.. A.
raved, but 1t was no use the farmer had com.
piled with his part Of the agreement. and. A.
an evidence, told Mr.. A., after he hsd mss..
1red the oats, he might tramp them ali day.

BURNT on SUSPICION OF CANNIBALIsM.-Tbe
revolving practice of cannibalism among the
Indian tribes is now, happily, of rare occur
renee. And by none is it held in greater
detestation than by the natives themselves.
Mingled, too, with their horror of the crime is
strange superstitious fear of the criminal, whom
they believe to be endowed with supernatural
power against which nothing earthly can
prevail. At Daphin River. at the beginning of
The winter, tragedy was enacted which makes
one shudder. A poor sickly old man named
S lchetacketa was supposed by Cusick and
katchewa, his two sons-in-laws to show a dis
position to become a man. eater. Alarmed at
the thought OF such a acalamity, they determined
to prevent it by putting away the object of their
dread before he became proof against their
weapons. One day the unsuspecting old man
was lying helpless in his camp, when Cusick
and ka' chewa fell upon him and barbarously
murdered him. They cut off his head and
then burnt his body to ashes Montreal

A ADEArH-GRIP.-A sea captain related at a
prayer-meeting in Boston, short time ago, a
thrilling incident in his own experience: IA
few years ago l was sailing by the Island Of
MAN overheard! It was impossible to put IN
the helm Of the ship, but instantly seized a
rope and threw it over the ships stern. crying
out to the man to seize it as for his life. The
sailor caught the rope just as the ship was
passing Immediately took another rope,
and making slip moose in it, attached it to
the other, and slid it down to the struggling
sailor, and directed him to pass it over his
shoulder and under his arms, and he would
be drawn on board. He was rescued; but he
had grasped the rope with such frmness, with
such a death grip, that it took two hours be-
fore his hold relaxed. and his hand could be
separated from it. With such eagerness had
he clutched the object that was to save him,
that the strands of the rope became imbedded
In the flesh of his hands"

=, Inc article from which we have gathered
the foregoing statements, presents also the sta
ts,lcs OF mortality among various other classes
OF labor, and contrasts the general influence of
out and indoor occupations. as connected with
or less exercise
proceeding to the educated classes and those
having more means Of self.indulgence another
problem is presented. These do not enjoy
length of days They lack the wholesome
stimulus of labor and one element of health
and longevity is eliminated. Vital force is
led upon regularity, sobriety and activity of
body and mind. Comparing the three profes-
slons OF law, medicine and the pulpit, the race
Is close, but the pulpit leads by a trife, and
the lawyer succumbs before the physician
ms statement Is based, however, only upon a
comparison OF persons who have already passed
the age OF 90 As the ranks of the nobility are
entered, longevity is inversely proportioned to
the emlnence Of the rank and the King fenced
IN by all the divinity that doth hedge him
about, guarded from casualties, and carefully
screened from disease or harm, drops into the
grave ten years before the clergyman.
1t could be clearly shown, says Mr.. Mel
SOD, IN his Vital Statistics, by tracing the vari
Gus classes Of society in which there exist suf-
hclent means of subsistence, by beginning with
the most humble, and passing on to the middle
and upper classes, that gradual deterioration
in the duration of life takes place; and that
just as life, with all its wealth, pomp and mag
nlfcence, would seem to become more valuable
and tempting, so are its opportunities and
chances of enjoyment lessened. As far as the
results of figures admit of Judging. this con-
dltlon would seem to flow directly from the
luxurious and pampered style of living among
the wealthler classes, whose artificial habits
interfere with the nature and degree of those
physical exercises which, in a simpler class of
society, are accompanied with a long life
Truly, there is spirit of compensation in this
lite, II we could only 'distil it forth The
poor countryman Of thirty years of age, who
takes his frugal repast under hedge, has a
chance OF thirteen years longer life than the
monarch OF the same age clothed in purple,
