IN the Young and rising generation, the v-ge-
/ tatlye powers of life are strong, but in a few
years how often the pallid hue, the lack-lustre
eye and cmacated form, and the impossilility
of application to mental effort, show its baneful
influence. 1t soon becomes evident to the oh
server that some depressing influence is check
ing the development of the body. Consumption
is talked of, and perhaps the youth is removed

" For want Of a nail the shoe was lost
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of horse the rider was lost;
And all for want of q horseshoe nail"
Here il an instance of what the want
of a nail cost Farmer Careless. He had
just finished Milking, and with a steam
ing pail in each hand, walked out of
the barn-yard to bear his load to the
house. In passing through the garden
gate, he noticed that one of the nails
holding the latch was broken, and the
bar was hanging loose. Half minute
of time, one small nail, and two blows
with hammer would have fixed it
but our farmer was in a hurry, and
could not attend to the matter just then,
so, leaving the mending for another
time, he trugged along the path. Just
there was his mistake, as was shown by
five consequences. "A COW pushed open
the neglected gate and walked into
Farmer Careless's garden, followed by
nineteen more cows, and all proceeded
to lunch upon his young corn, to march
with devastating tread over his cabages,
ard to carry ruin to his onion patch. In
driving them out, after they had done a
vast amount of damage, Farmer Care
less stumbled over stump (Which
ought to have been pulled up long be-
fore, y and fell, fracturing his knee-pan,
which accident cost him six weeks in
bed, long bill from the doctor, rheu-
matism as often as the wind blew from
the east, ever AFTER and lamp in his
gate as long as he lived. Two of his
best cows died from eating too freely Of
their stolen luncheon though they
might have been saved had their own
er been able to attend to them in time.
During six weeks enforced idleness at
the business period of the season, his
farm was necessarily neglected, his
crops were ungathered and his grass
was left uncut. From all these troubles
he was unable to pay the interest on
his mortgage, his farm was sold and
sacrificed, and Farmer Careless was
left poor man for the rest of his life.
All these misfortunes came upon him
because he had carelessly neglected to
drive nail in the latch of his barn
yard gate.--American Agricult~alist.

BOSTON. - The correspondent of n
Philadelphia paper has written history
of Boston. The following is q chapter:
Boston, in the State of Mass chusetts,
is city of no mean pretensions. In
age it antedates the pyramids.
When first discovered by the Ten
Tribes, in 1888, B, c., it bore the marks
of extreme antiquity.
Faneuil Hall is supposed to have been
the original Soiomon's Temple, and
Boston Common is known to be the
Garden of Eden, with modern improve
ments. The Tree Of Life has been re-
moved to make room for the magnificent
Old Elm, and the Four Rivers are rep
resented by the beautiful fountains
which squirt continually.
Boston was named in honor Of GER
tain cracker, which was made there in
great perfection by the pre- Adamite in
habitants. And it retains the name
and the cracker-to this day.
a certain one of its poets whose nom
de pl,mc is Holmes, has called Boston
the Hub of the Universe. Being the
hub and also place where the risible
muscles are never used, it may fifty
No one laughs at Boston, and whoever
would SIN lie must go into a bar room to
do it.
The streets of Boston are unlike the
one in Damascus. which was called
Straight.
When laid out far back in the carbon
ferrous period, the street commissioner
did not heed the great injunction of the
"great expounder." aye, solid men of
Boston," drink no strong potatons
And so the lands and avenues of the
town stagger about after the similtude
of rams horn.
The principal hotel was formcly kept
by Theodore Parker, and IS still called
the Parker House. 1t is kept on the
European plan which is to charge SO
much for room that you have no
money left to invest in breakfast.
Boston includes the towns of Cam
bridge, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, Fran
ingham, Worcester, Salem, and indeed
all Massachusetts,.

his keeper used every effort to subdue
him, he was entirely uncomfortable,
and he would strike and kick at every
object near him. BY this time the scene
was beyond description. The vast
crowd flew for life. He flew at his
keeper and pursued him under the can
vas.
The IL o'clock freight train b ing be-
hind time, and not having any freight !
for forest, and the engineer not intend
ing to stop, came rushing along at the
rate of 20 miles per hour When it had
approached within y yards, the ele-
plant locked up the road and seemed
doubly enrageu. He Immediately ran
towards it with great speed, and met it
with such Il shock hat he broke one of
his tuslis, and was Immediately Kill ed.
The engine was detached from the train
and thrown from the track, and Mr..
Wharton, the engineer having failed to
shut off steam, it unfortunately ran into
the canvas, smashed the lions cage,
killed the lilo less, and relcas d the lion.
The lion, finding himself uninjured
and ut liberty, and being frightened by
the steam and whistle of the engine,
started at full speed down the Home
wood road, roaring terrifcalIy. He had
gone but short distance when he met
Mr.. &. w. Sheppard, who gave chase.
Mr. Sheppard, finding that he was gain
ing on him rapidly, and tn t he would
certainly be Overtaken, attempted to
climb sappling The lion struck at
him with his paw as he assembled, but
fortunately did no other damage than to
tear off his coat-tail and carry away part
of his pants.
Mr.. John Smith, of Raleigh, who was
on his, way to Forest, riding his fine
pacing horse, with his little son behind
him, met him four miles from here. AS
soon "a the horse saw him he
neighcd, when the lion rushed at him,
seized nim by the thr1at, and threw
him to the ground. Mr.. Smith, with
his little son, escaped to the woods, and
made their way to Forest on too.
While he was devOuring Mr.. Smiths
horse, Mr.. James J. Ritch, who was OH
his way to Forest with load of chick
ems, drove up. AS soon as the lion saw
him he reared on his bird feet, lasheC
the ground with his tail, and sprung a
him. Mr.. Ritch eluded him by jump

FIre Months IN a Debtors Prison

Mr. solomon w. Jcwett, formerly of
Weybridge, this State, and afterwards
of California, who has been imprisoned
in Ludlow Street Jail, New York, for
debt, furnishes the San with the fol-
lowing particulars of his arrest d" In
1860, he entered into speculation with one
Charles Kelsey, of Bro olllyn, sending
sheep to California. The latter advan-
ced the largest share of the money, and
agreed to share one-third the risk and
profit of the enterprise. The venture
did not prove successful, but Kelsey re-
ceived remittanccs from Jewett beyond
the amount of his investment. He
still claimed, however, $64, being the
value of lot Off sheep and lettings,
which Jewett swcars brought only S34,
and no lettings. Upon this and other
claims, which were based upon Kelsey's
"opinion and belief" Mr.. Jewctt was
arrested and placed in Ludlow Street
Jail, without warning or explanation of
any kind. The writ of cOmmittal was
issued by Judge Gilbert, of Brooklyn,
without even the formality of bringing
Mr.. Jewett into Court, such being the
illegal manner in which these affairs
are managed. Five thousand dollars
bail was demanded, and failing to obtain
this. Mr.. Jewett was kept in confine-
ment from Oct. q to April 6. Mr.. Jew
ett's papers and such witnesses as were
IN tJ,io c;Ja of thn &c
pute were all in California, five thou
sand miles distant, with no means OF
communication but by letter.
The Sun, after speaking of the many
high posts of honor that Mr.. Jewett has
held, says that man of such respecta-
billy could be incarcerated in IA debtors
prison, and kept there in ignominious
confinement for nearly half a year, is
discreditable to our civilization. The
Sun thus concludes its account of the
affair."
Mr.. Kelsey visite the prison only
once during the entire five and hall
months, though Mr. Jewett wrote tC
him repeatedly, offering to leave tnt
matter in dispute to arbitration. Mr.
Jewett tried every means in his power
to get bail up to the day of his release
Finally, with as little notice as when
he was imprisoned, he was set fire..
through the efforts of his lawyer, Mr.
Averill, under writ of hdbeas corpus
issued by Judge Barrett. Being unable
to procure bail in this city, Mr.. Jewett',
friends in California have deposited ST.
900 there to be forwarded as bail. KEEL
sey is man worth a million dollars, anC
had no rael need to press this matter a
all. Mr.. Jewett says that he has incur

closed.

The huge elephant Hercules

way of caution to those entering the
canvas, John Aston, his keeper stated
that he had for several days manifested
a disposition of characterization, and
begged that no one would approach

northern part of this county, coming i'm
