A hardened Scottish soldier lay on his hospital
bed, and refused stubbornly to listen to word

aid Of the priest" he said. The most affection.

interview. % q 4

In few minutes the man turned himself up.
on his pillow, the hard look all gone, and the eye
wet with tear.
"Who taught you that ?" he asked.
"My mother" said the minister.
"And so did mine" he replied; and with these
memories surging back into his soul he was ready
and willing to listen to the words Of heavenly
counsel.

ACHANCE FOR GRAvEsTQNE MAKERs.cW ldow
Maria Spoor, of Billingsville, has recently sent
the following epistle to the silent partner OF one
Of our prominent physicians: "You was pointed
out to me the other day as the man what makes
gravcstones I want stone for my late hns-
band, Hezckiah Spoor; want q large stone, as
he was very large man; say feet wide ana .
feet high. His age was go years, months and
II days, had he lived till three o'clock in the
morning, but as he died at 12 think you better
put it down 16 days. want you to be particu-
iar-git right. His disease was bilious colo,
and was sick only days and nights. want
you to put it all in, especially the disease he
died with-he was most awful sick. The first
day he was afraid he would die, and the next
day he was afraid he wouldn't, but he died; yes
he's dead, and never shall forget tho expression
that lit up his countenance in his latter moments.
I understood that You sometimes carve images

this peculiarly on the gravestone. 4 will Try
and describe this popularity. One eye you want
looking right at you, and the other you want
turned as though it was looking up the chimney
all the time. Now want this done by next
week, as think some of marrying another Hex.
ekiah the week after, and want the gravestone
up before for fear this other Hezekiah would
think it was designed for him. don't suppose
you could picture him having the bilious collick

colick, and the rest win pay you In money ~

farmer from New Jersey described q corn-crib
that was constructed under the supervision of
General Washington, which, he said, haS always
been ''rat proof" and there has never been but
one mouse in it. The crib was placed on high
posts that were set several feet in the ground,
with tin or sheet iron nailed around the posts ut
the upper ends, 80 that mice and rats could not
climb the posts. Mr.. Crane, Of New Jersey,
stated that he had such crib, and it had kept
the grain we'll every year for more than twenty
years, and had been both rat and mouse proof.
