POOR RICHARDS REASONS FOR BUY
ING UNITED STATES SECURITIES.

The other day we heard rich neigh
or say he had rather have railroad stocks
than the U. S. stocks for they paid high
er interest Just then Poor Richard came
up, and said that he just bought some Of
Uucle Sans three years notes, paying
seven and three tenths per cent. interest.
My rich friend exclaimed, q" Youl |
thought you had no money to buy with" "
Yes said Richard. L" had little laid
up, for you know it is we'll to have some
thing laid up against wet day, and
kept little of my earnings by me-"
Now, Poor Richard is known to all the
country round to be very prudent aud
industrious, and, withal, wise man for he
never learned anything he didn't know
how to make use of, and his wisdom and
prudence had become proverb. So, when
he took out his savings and bought the
notes. more than one was surprised, and
it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith asked
why. So Poor Richard, in very quiet
humble way--for he never assumed any,
thing-replied, Il suppose, Mr.. Smith,

what to do with money, and how to iuvest.

and what thought of it. One very rich
man was always dealing in money, and
he made great deaf, butt was never sat
isfed without high interest. So he lent
most of his money to some people who he
thought were very rich, at very high
rate; and he often told how much he
got till one day the people he lent to
went to smash. He got back about ten
cents on dollar of his money. ] know

but sell his stock the next day.! Why?I

WITCHES IN AFRICA.

1t will be seen by the following, that
" our sable brethren are still behind
the light. house" in this thing. We got
rid of witchcraft long time ago, and now
bask in the bright sunshine Of better
knowledge. So it will be in Africa, when
our missionaries shall have disseminated
His gospel to all the world. Rev. H. W..
g.. writing from Gaboon, West Africa,
says; :
"a few weeks since | was extremely
panied and shocked at something which
occurred q few miles from here. These
people have great faith in witches. They
think if person dies suddenly, or if any
accident happens to another, or any one
is unfortunate in any way, that somebody
is witch and has caused the misfortune.
They then select some person as the
witch, and after trial. kill him. will
tell yon what the trial is. There is
certain poisonous weed of which they
make tea. and if they desire the person
to die. they give him suitable quantity
to poison him. If they do not wish the
person to die. they give an overdose which
sickens him. and then he gets well. They
say if he is the true witch it will kill
him, if he is not, he will get we'll. They
have other ways. however. of killing
witches. s3 'l s9 ogO. rs n
" "The other day man died from some
disease, and his friends said he xss

witched. So they took o poor man who
was slave, and bound him to pile Of
wood on fire and burned him to death.
TO drown the poor mans screams, they
beat drums, Capped their hands, and
shouted and danced, Sometimes three or
four persons are put to death for one
man. @~ f.'
II will give you another instance. Not
long ago there was dreadful accident
here. There are number Of factories,
or stores you would call them. English,
Scotch, French, and German people bring
cloth, dishes, rum. tobacco, etc., and give
them to the natives for ivory, ebony wood,
red wood, rubber, etc. One day three
native men and one boy got into canoe
and went up the river to town several
miles from here TO purchase ivory for one
of the factories. They had their canoe
full of goods to exchange for the ivory.
1t is always customary for them, when
they come in sight of town, to fire off a
gun several times. So one of these men
opened keg of powder, loaded his gun
and fired it off. Some sparks fell
into the open keg and the pow.
der caught fire and blew them up.
The men were thrown violently into the
water and the boat was completely de.
stroyed. Two Of the men and the boy
were burned so badly that they died the
next day. But one man was not hurt at
all. " 81. -. .|2
Now, what do you suppose they did
with that one man ? You say Why
they would all rejoice over him, and feel
very glad and thankful that he was moi
killed But no, they did not feel SO.
They bound him and put him in jail be.
cause, they said, he Was witch and killed
the other men so he must be killed.
We made efforts to save him. but have
not heard whether he was killed or not.
Probably he was killed. Such things are
of frequent occurrence, and it makes us sad
to see how long the people cling to their
old customs"

A STORY OF PARIS.

A recent history of The French Po-
lice " contaias the following tragic story,
showing that truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction:- -..-.aH
When M. LaReynie was lieutenant.
general Of police, u terror, produced by
the mysterious disappearance of several
persons, spread through various districts
of Paris. Within about four months,
twenty-six young gentlemen, varying in
age from seventeen to twenty-five years,
were missing from their inconsolable fam
lilies. Mysterious and contradictory ru-
mors spread in the Faubourg st. Antoine,
which had been robbed of five promising
tradesmen's sons The gossips declared
that princess who was suffering from
liver complaint, contended against the
malady by taking baths of human blood.
Others affirmed that the Jews at inter-
walls, cruciied Christians, in hatred of
the Saviour, but luckily this mad opinion
did not prevail
The Duo de Gesvres spoke on the sub
ject to the king and the latter complain
ed to the lieutenant general of police for
allowing such a thing to 60 on. La Rey-
ME, in despair at the kings dissatisfac,
tion, returned very sadly to Paris. On
arriving there he sent for very smart
agent, one Lccoq, whom he had previously
employed with success in extricating tan
gled legal skeins. On hearing the report,
Lecoq, carried away by his activity, ex-
claimed:
Well, monseigneur, | see that in or
der to relieve you from yaur embarrass-
ment. | must renew Abraham's sacrifice.
ask for week, and at the end of that
time l hope to have good news for you"
Lecoq gave no further explanation, and
De la Rcynic, who regarded him as one of
his most trusty worthy agents, dismissed
him with sign that granted him the
most extensive powers. Lecoq had son,
to whom he was sincerely attached, and
whose education he undertook himself.
This lad called the - Wide-awake" by
his comrades, owing to his ready wit, re-
ally possessed an uncommon intellect.
He was sixteen years of age, and Nature,
while developing his mind, had not for
gotten his external appearance
Wide-awake, whose real name was Ex-
upere, obtained from Lecoq everything
that can fatter young mans vanity.
His handsome clothes heightened the ef-
feet of his personal appearance; but he
rarely went out for Lecoq was aware to
what young men are exposed in the streets
of Paris he was escorted by spies, in
whom his father could connde
On the day when Lccoq had his confer
ence, with De la Reynie, on his return
home, he shut himself up with Wide
awake, with whom be had heightened
conversation; and an hour after the fe-
male neighbors noticed the boy go out in

the most brilliant toilet, and this time
alone. He wore round his. neck and hat
gold chains and medalliong, there we're

" clinked the louis with which his purse
was we'll lined Lecoq felt that the young
men had necessarily fallen into some gal
liant snare, and that the lure offered them

young man, and, with word dismissed
the duenna. Wide-awake, in spite of all
his sharpness, lost his presence of mind.
The sight of this lovely person fascinated
him; he could not move; the young SPY
in an instant forgot his role.
The goddess descended from her throne
and offered her hand to Wide. awake, who
kissed it. This kiss heated his blood
and restored his boldness. Most certain
ly he was in bad place but he was
close to charming woman. He be-
came pressing, lost his head, felt a
hand abstracting his purse, but said
nothing. as. .-r ..r.
His father was in the street with his
agents, impatiently awaiting the signal
for them to enter the house. But the
signal was not given, and so Lecoq pere
whlstled even in the arms of the prin-
cess his son started at it, and this whist.
tie recalled him to himself. Two min.
utes after, the princess retired to her cab

absence to examine the room he tried
to unfold a screen, and could not succeed,

admirably preserved, were displayed on

Snch. a scene was certainly a strange
awaking from pleasure, and young Lecoq,
whose lips were still warm with the
strangers kisses, opened them to utter a
cry of horror. But worse remained be-
hind; on approaching the window he
fancied he could see through the panes
other heads fixing their flashing eyes up
on him. Paler than the death heads, un-
able to speak, he fell on his knees and
claspcd'his hands. .U.o
At this moment the window was burst
in, and his father, followed by the whole
squad entered the apartment. Startled

taken the accursed house by storm
This unlucky temerty saved Wide-awake' s
life; for, at the noise made by Lecoq and

cess, accompanied by four bandits, armed
to the teeth emerged from tho cabinet

heads cut off. The. body was sold to
students of anatomy, while the heads
splendidly prepared, were sent in patches
to Germany, for the purpose of the SCI

afraid of such series of crimes be-
coming known. punished the culprits Sc
cretly. They we're all hanged.

SWEET.BRIER.

Tender of words should singer be,
Sweet Brier, who would tell of thee;
One who has drunk with eager lip
And treasured thy companionship
One who has sought thee far and wide,
In early dew, with morning pride
To whom thou art no new made friend,
Whose memories on thy breath attend.
For such thou art a lemon grove,
Where wandering orient odors rove,--
Yet loyal ever to thy home, 4
The valley where the north winds roam.
Sometimes would call thee mine;
But sweeter far than MINE or THINE
To listen unto Natures song,
Saying, To lovers all beiong.
| love thee for my greenest days
Rescued from Time at thy sweet gaze,
For pictures brilliant as the Spring
Brought back upon thy breathing wing.
love thee for thy influence,
Heart-honey, without impotence
He who would reach thy virgin blush,
Like warrior bold, must danger crush.
Chiefly l love thee for thyself,
Wealth giver. ignorant of pelf; "a
Fain would learn thy upright ways
And heart thus redolent of praise.
