A Lake Dried Up.

A few days ago the water from Ottawa
lake, in Monroe county, Michigan, all at
once disappeared The Cotd,cater Gazette
states that the water had begun to subsde
for some days, and the teamsters who car
ried stone from the lake noticed that the
holes at which they watered their cattle
were crowded with fish They increased in
numbers, both large and small, the former
having their mouths wide open, and so ex-
hausted that the people caught them with
their hands. The work of auarrying and
hauling stones was soon abandoned, and in a
short time scores of teams and hundreds of
men might be seen on and around the lake.
The men with their handspikes, crowbars,
and axes were busily engaged in cutting and
raising huge pieces of ice, and then stoop-
ing down and lifting the fish, some of which
were dead, some alive, and some frozen fast
in the ice, for the water having departed
from the lake by some subterranean passage,
the vast sheet of ice lay on the bottom
For three days immense quantities of fish
were carried away, principally piekerel and
bass. while vast quantities were left to rot
on the ice and in the mud-for mud and ice
are all that are left of Ottawa Lake. Nu-
merous pieces of ice are left standing on
edge, like SO many grave stones. The lake,
or rather its bed, or graveyard, presents
novel scene Some say the water will soon
return by the same source by which it de-
parted, bringing fresh supply of fish with
it-for Lake Erie is supposed to be its head
quarters. Meantime the farmers in the vi
cnty greatly feel the loss of the departed
waters. About seven years ago this lake
departed in the same way, and old men say
1t departs and returns periodically.

them in the woods. Haburack stepped
forth from the bushes and bid the coachman
halt"
The horses stopped, the Prince drew forth
his pistols But Haburack, without heed
ing his threatening mein, rode close up to
the carriage door and said:
I'VE yesterday sacrificed our comfort that
the rest of this lady might not be disturbed
Now | will see if it is worth the trouble
With these words he lifted the veil which
hung down from the lady's bonnet, and look
ed for an instant into her face. The lady
blushed and he said:
''She is really very pretty"
He turned round, plucked a wild rose
from bush close at hand, and offered it to
the lady with these words:
Accept this rose kindly, as keepsake
from the poor robber Haburack and if
you some time hear that he has been hang
ed, pray an Ave Maria for his SOUL
The lady took the rose and the robber
vanished.
Two years later, the newspapers related
that the robber Haburack had beeh caught,
that he had been tried at the assizes in Tor
ma, convicted of dissertion and highway rob-
berry and hanged

AMERICAN SILVER IN CANADA.-There
is such glut of American silver in Canada
that the government of the Dominion has
been memorialized to withdraw from circu-
cent, and issue in its place one million dol
lars of Canadian silver, the remainder of the
currency to be made up of paper money, in
bills of not less than one dollar. We should
be well pleased to see our silver come back
from Canada. There is said to be now about
$1,000, 900 worth of American silver in Can
ada and duty of fifteenpe cent. has been
imposed upon the importation of such silver
coin into the province.

ROBINS RETURN.

There's not green blade yet
Whereupon breese could play,
The bare brown earth is wet
With the rain of yesterday;
But on the apple bough
A sound more sweet than rain
Hark to the overflow
Robins come again,
Snow on the mountain side,
Never leaf on tree,
Never a spray to hide
A nook where q nest may be;
Only hint, tits true,
That hope is not in vain,
sky more soft and blue
Robins come again.
o. Robin, he can sing
Where not a flower can thrive,
Musician of the spring,
The blithest thing alive;
The March winds sOftlier blow
Over the dreary plain,
A sunny day or so.
Robins come again.
The while he caroleth,
Our hearts are lighter grown,
We almost feel the breath
Of violets new blown;
He sings the songs we knew,
The earliest, glsddest strain,
All, old friends are the trne-
Robins come again.

"ADULTRRATEp TEA" said Mrs. Part
ington, as she read an account of the adul-
teration of teas in England, at which she
was much shocked II know that my tea is
not adulterated, for it smells virtuous,' con-
tinued she smiling with satisfaction, and
know this Shooshon tea must be good, be-
cause I bought it of Mr. Shoe shon himself.
| saw him weigh it out and saw him tie it
up with his own hands, and noticed his
name above the door; ! tell you there is
no mistake about my tea, for Mr.. Shoo-
shon told me he raised it in his own garden
and kept his eye on it all the time, SO that
there was no possible chance of its having
been adulterated

LITTLE THINGS. Springs are little things,

LITTLE ETHINGs.-Springs are little things,
but they are sources of large streams; a
helm is little thing, but it governs the
course of ship; bride bit is a little thing,
but see its use and power; nails and pegs
are little things. but they hold the large
parts of large buildings together; a word, a
look, frown-all are little things, but pow
erful for good or evil. Think of this and
mind the little things. Pay that little debt
its promised, redeem tiff it's a shilling
hand it over-you know not whatimportant
event hangs upon it. Keep your word sa.
credly-keep it to the children. they will
mark it sooner than any one else, and the
effect will probably be as lasting as life.
Mind the little things

The editor of the Iowa Falls Sentinel has
invented a method whereby he keeps his
neighbors' cows from stealing mis- hay. He
describes it thus: "a certain quadruped
had sweet tooth for our hay stack and did
much damage, throwing down the seven rail
fence and roosting in our hay. We bought
box of Cayenne pepper, took nice lock
of hay, placed it outside, baptized it with
pepper, and watched. The animal came
along and pitched into the hay, when sud
degrees and tail at 90 degrees her soul went
marching on, at the rate of 2:40. That
COW has not come back Try this We affiict-
ed, and you will save your hay and have a
good hearty laugh all to yourself"

The TERRoRs OF BAsHFULNEss = If
there is any defect more striking than an
other in the American character it is bash
fulness. Young America, in particular, is
painfully affected by it. An accident is
mentioned by a correspondent, who was de-
sired by his aunt to go TO the neighbor
Shaw and see if he had for sale any straw
suitable for filling beds. ''Mr Shaw, says
our informant, was blessed with goodly
number of Misses Shaw" and 1 therefore

A BIG SUCKER. The Reading Eagle

A BIG SUCKER. The Reading Eagle
thus describes the capacity of Lancaster
county drinker: "a fellow residing beyond
Fritztown, near the Berks and Lancaster
line-in the latter named county, we believe
can beat it ali hollow We saw him
swallow six large glasses-two of porter and
four of water-in eight minutes, One day
he met porter wagon on the highway, and
bought two dozen bottles, drank their con-
tents and gave the empty bottles back to
the driver, all in about twenty minutes
time. We saw this individual in this city
several times during the last year. He IS
about six feet in height and full sixty years
of age, and says he drinks bucket of wa
ter regular every night. If we knew the
mans name we would state it, as he seemed
to be quite proud of his capacity to carry
more liquid than any other man.
