How TO PURIFY RANCID LARD We
had some forty pounds Of rancid lard,
which was valueless as it was. Knowing
the sntisoptic quality of soda, I procured
three ounces, which was poured into pail
full of soft water, and when hot tho lard
added. Af.or boiling it together thorough
ly for an hour or two, it was sct aside to
cool. The lard was taken off when nearly
cold, and was subsequently boiled up.
The color was restored to an alabaster
white, and it was as sweet as rose.

How False Reports May Originate.

A curious illustration of sthis is found in an
anccdote told in the lecture of Mr.. Spurgeon.-
A minister lived opposite one of the deacons O
his church. A report got abroad that the minis
ter had been seen to beat his wife, and the mat
ter was brought before deacons' meeting.-
There the minister said he had traced the spread
ing of the report to the dcacons daughter. The
good man, the deacon, said be would not have
spoken, but his daughters name having been
mentioned, he must then state that when he was
going to bed ona certain night, he did SCI
Through the window blind of the lighted room
the minister beating his wife, and heard her
scream. The minister was nonpussed;. but he
requested that his wife might be sent for and ques
toned When she arrived she explained the
whole matter. She said: "Don't yon recollect
there was rat in the room that night that il
got up on my dress, that you got frightened and
took up the poker; that could not stand still,
and ran around the room, you running after me
with the poker. This is the explanation of the
whole affair" Well, then, the lecturer would
remark to his hearers, the next time they heard
s'sry against good man, let them say at onc'
tThers il a rat at the bottom of it, know"
and that some simple explanation may account
for the whole thing.

A Marrow ESCAPE FROM GoING OVER
NIAGARA FALLS. A painfully Intense ex-
citemcnt was experienced by hundreds of
people living along Niagara river; on
Tuesday afternoon, at the sight Of vessel
with three men on board, being rapidly
borne down the current towards the falls,
without any apparent possibility Of rescue
from the shore The facts are as follows:
AS a small Canadian trading schooner,
the Whip, Capt. J. T. Young, was be-
ing towed out of Chippewa harbor by the
tug Buffalo, the line by which she was at
tached to the tug was broken by the
strength Of the current anl wa. carried
swiftly down toward the rapids above the
Falls. The Captain and two men on board
saw at once that they were in imminent
danger. having neither anchor nor small
boat and being in such position that no
one dared attempt their rescue from the
shore. BY this time hundreds of people
were gathering along the banks expecting
nothing else than certain destruction to
the vessel and her crew; but when within
a couple of yards from the comm enc cemeut
of the rapids the cool head of the Captain
conceived an idea which saved the lives
of the whole party as we'll as the vessel
There was quite a gale blowing up the
river at the time, and the mastor, with
the aid of the two men, seeing all other
relief ont Of the question, ordered all sail
hoisted ana sailed out Of the very Jaws of
death, against the powerful current of tho
river, absolutely landing soon after at Hog
Island in safety, having gone further
down the Niagara river than any other
man ever did and escape.
The admiration and relief of the people
along the river banks upon the execution
Of the Captains plan found vent in fre-
quent cheers when it became apparent
that his efforts would prove successful.

sleigh. under the came buffalo as myself.
"0h, DON'T" she exclaimed, as she

through the moonlight. .. r.,
"Dou't what? asked Tim not doing

"Well, but I thought you was going to

"Toll!" I replied. " What's that?"

clear laugh ringing out above the music Of
the bells.
CDR. Meadows pretends he don't know
what toll isl
Indeed, I don't then," said laughing
in turn.
:" Don't know that the gentleman, when
they go out on a sleighing party, claim a
kiss as toll when they cross a bridget"
Well, I never" When next We came
to bridge, and I claimed toll, tho strug
gle of the widow to hold the veil was not
sufficient to tear it; and somehow, when
the veil was renewed, her face was turned
directly toward my own, and in the gilt
tering of the moonlight, the horse trotted
on himself, and toll was taken for the first
time by DR.. Meadows. Soon we came to
q long bridge, but the widow said it was
no use to resist, and she paid up as we
reached it without a struggle.
"But you won't take toll for every arch

affirmative to the question. Did you ever

what Newspapers Do for Nothing.

The following article should be read
and pondered well by every man who
takes a newspaper without paying for it
NY observation enables me to state as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the United States who invest an
equal amount Of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do moro service for
less pay, to stand more spunging and de-
fend more people without fee or rcTard
than any other class.
They credit wider and longer, get Of
tener cheated. suffer more pecuniary loss,
are oftener the victims Of misplaced con-
fidencc, ,:than any other calling in the COM
munity. People pay printers bill with
much more reluctance than any other. 1t
goes harder with them to expend dollar
on valuable newspaper than ten on a
needless gewgaw; yet every dcdy svaiis
hims"lf of the use of the editors pen and
the printers ink. .'.'
How many professional and political
regulations and fortunes have been m ade
and sustained by the friendly though un-
requited pen of tho editor? How many
embryo towns and cities have been brought
into notice and puffsd iuto prosperity by
the press? How many railroads now in
successful operation. would have founder
ed but fer the clever that moves the
world?" In short, what branch of indus
try and activity has not been promoted T,
stimulated and defended by the press?
And who has rendered it more than .
pittancc for its service? The bazaars OF
fashion and the haunts of dissipation are
thronged with an eager crowd, bearing
gold in their palms, and the comm odities
there vendsd are sold at numerous prfts,
though intr nically worthless, and pail
for with scruples} punutuality; while the
counting-room of the newspaper is the
seat of Jewing, sheapcring trade, orders

Down ON HIM.--0n one occasion Lorenzo Dow
while preaching took the liberty of denouncing
rich man in the community recently deceased
imprisonment in the county Jail. After Lorenzo
got out of his 'limbo," he ann ounceed that, ir
spite of this lin my opinion) unjust punishment
he should preach at given time sermon about
"another rich man." The populace was greatly
excited and crowded audiance greeted his
appearance. With great solemnity he opened
the Bible and read, "And there was another
rich man who died and went to-" then stopped
short and seemed suddenly impressed. "Breth-
rcn, shall not mention the place this rich man
went to, for fear he has some relatives in this
congregation who will sue me for defamation Of
character"
