Anecdote Of Aaron Burr.

A writer in the N. Y. Leader tells
the following f..4 55.qt74g1s .e
Burr was one of the most intimate
friends Of Isaac Clason.. He sdined at
his. house every week. 5aa l4aY 4iyaf
The following anecdote was told me
by the late John r. Delaplaine, the
father Of Isaac, out late representative
in Congress- lie was son-in-law of
Mr.. Clason, and after his death was one
Of the executors Of the estate -
"Not long before his DEATH" ailMr.
Delaplainc, speaking of Mr.. Clason, he
said to Col. Burr at dinner, | have a
knotty commercial affair, and / do not
know but I shall be obliged to employ
you or some other lawyer as counsel.
If | do, [ will so advise you" Col,
Burr inquired the names Of the parties,
and this was all that passed between
them upon the subject at that or any
other time. A few days after Col. Burr
called at the counting house of Mr.. Cla-
son, and remarked that he was little
short for few days, and that if Mr..
Clason would lend him $500 for few
days, he would be greatly obliged. Mr..
.Clason drew check for the sum need
ed, remarking, that Col. Burr could re-
turn it when it suited him to do so. Not
many months after this transaction Isaac
Clason died. I, as his executor, noticed
this entry of Indebtedness upon his
books for $500 It was noted in the
check book margin as loan. The idea
flashed upon me that Col Burr was so
notorious that he was highly danger
Gus character to be known to young
merchant Still, it was duty | owed
to the estate to collect it, determined
to look after it, and [ called in person
upon Mr.. Bura and stated the case He
received me with great politeness, say
ing, "Oh, yes-that little matter shall
be attended to in few days; | recol-
lect all about it." The next week Col.
Burr calledupon me and presented a bill
against the estate of Mr. Clason for
81 .000, fees for the consultation (stating
the case) stated above, and crediting
Mr.. Clason $500. My idea that Col.
Burr was a dangerous acquaintance
proved true. 1t cost the estate $500,
for ] paid Col. Burr. M

Saved.

There is world Of JOY shut up in
the little word, saved How many a
dawn Of rich and golden beauty for the
soul has it ushered in, after gloomy
night Of deferred hope and anxious
watching. 1t is always sweet word to
hear-a sweeter word to speak. So full
Of happy music when the lips utter it
so full of happier meaning when the
heart feel it. The voice never breathes
it, but the face becomes radiant with
joy, and the eye sparkles with delight
Every cord vibrates with inexpressible
pleasure, as its music falls upon the ear,
long waiting in anxious expectation.
Z 1t has history Of its own, written
in the mingled experiences Of sorrow
and the JOY of many a soul. Few there
are who have not uttered it in more Or
less of its meaning through whose soul
it has not sent thrill of delight, filling
it too full for utterance. Sound it out
in the still Of the night, and some ach
ing heart will take it up, and send it
Fjoyfully back through the gloom and
darkness. Whisper it ever 50 softly,
and there will be some soul that cannot
contain itself for very joy, 1t is the
avenue through which the soul breathes
overfowing gratitude. It's whole ex-
preston is that Of thankfulness.
Saved and from what? All from a
life Of intemperance, Of misery, Of crime,
Of degradation, Of shame, of infamy
and from death. If you have known
what it is to have had the dear object
of your hearts best affections snatched
from any Of these calamities, you have
found no word that would SO ftly express
the outgushing thankfulness Of your
heart, as the little word-sayed.

Great Disasters.

The late terrible calamity at Santiago
/ in the burning Of church and between
two and three thousand persons, calls to
mind numerous marked events of similar
character. The burning Of the Rich,
mond theatre, in 1911, by which about
hundred and twenty people were con.
sumed in the flames, is the most ter
riblc calamity Of that kind. which has
ever happened in this country but
South America has felt the hand Of the
destroyer in other forms more heavily.
In 1912, ten thousand people were des.
troyed by an earthquake in Caracas, the
capital of Venezuela while death has
suddenly called offthousands of victims
in the same form in Quito and other
cities, in his march over South Ameri.
ca. During the great fire in London.
in 1912, two thousand persons perished
in the burning Of London bridge. In
Constantinople, in 1871, thirty thousand
homes were burned and in 1888, ten
thousand houses and fifty mosques were
destroyed by fire, and in the space of
thirteen years, about that time, forty,
nine thousand houses we're burned in
the same city. 99t 0g
I In the great fire in London, in 1866,
which ragged four days and nights, one
hundred and thirteen thousand houses
and eighty-six churches, among them
St. PauPs Cathedral, were burned and
four hundred and thirty-six acres of the
most populous part of the city were laid
waste by the devouring flames. In
India in 1877, three hundred thousand
persons were destroyed by hurricane
which caused the water to rise forty feet
higher than usual, and twenty thousand
vessels were cast away. The great earth
quake in Sicily, in 1893, which leveled
Catania and forty y-nine other towns and
cities, also destroyed one hundred thous-
and people. Sixty thousand people
were destroyed in the space of six min.
utes, BY the earthquake VII ch engulph-
ed the city Of Lisbon, in 1856; the
shock was felt nearly all over Europe.
in the northern part of Africa, and even
in the West Indies, vast wave Of the
sea swept over the coast of Spain, In
some places sixty feet high. Near Mo-
rocco, the earth opened and suddenly

Enclosed please fud 81 so, for my
tenth years subscription for your most
welcome visitor, which | believe failed

Yesterday closed the Ladies fair and
Bazaar 10 this place, for the benefit Of the
soldiers families I. was open day and
night from Christmas eve, and attended BY
thousands. The large Hall, consisting Of
seventeen unfinished rooms Of the third
storey of the Becksl Building, with .
twenty foot hall or entry, were crowded
full, SO much SO at times that it was dIffi
cult to pass to and fro The rooms or
booths were grand, and tastefully decora
ted, and furnished with the very best of
furniture, pictures, curtains, &c, that
could be found in the best Of parlors in the
city. Each booth had stove or fire
place, aud, filed with goods and merchan-
di.s, the occupants being clad in different
national costumes, Turkish, Chinese,
japanese, French, Dutch, Yankee, Qis-
ker, Gipsey, &c. made all exceedingly
rich and attractive. There was . splen,
did dining hail, where the best the market
could afford was provided. Every store,
shop or mandatory was represented in
some kind of goods, machinery or impIe-
ments. The whole, including the prOvis-
ions for the tables, vas donated to the
Fair and Bazaar by the citizens of the
town aud country, and all offered for sale,
mostly by chance prices, the balance by
auction, yielding between $4,000 and
$4,000. Tho citizens never enjoyed Il
more pleasant holiday festival, as the en-
tire town and country took the most lively
interest in it. Every congregation, de
nomination and association, high and low,
rich and poor were engaged, (exccps the
Catholics, and mos, rabld ValIandig CHAM

Another Hall on the second floor was
used for tableaux and charade entertain
ments, wbicb were grand and we'll attended
We have also had three grand wood,
