SWEARING BY MEANS OF TIE BrBL E.
During the time of The freshet on the
Wabash, when the fiat country ont both
sides of the river was inundated by the
rising water, it became necessary for
those in the way, to ''escape to the noun

made by the Indians for that purpose
A party of fugitives, on their way to a
place of safety, overlook man in a COW
cred wagen, with a span of horses, stand

to the hubs of his wheels and fast rising.
He was setting with a small book in one
hand and whip in the other, reading a
line aloud and then laying on tho whip.
They stopped moment to listen, attract
ed by the mans curious conduct, and
were surprised to hear him read: 'sThe
wicked shall be turned into hell i''-(cut)
giving frightful emphasis to the last
word. "Whoso believeth not, shall be
damned l"-(cu) ''How can you es-
cape the damnation of hell !'-(cut) )-and
many more OF the same character, yelling
the emphasized words at the top Of his
lungs. Wondering at his conduct the fu-
gitives asked what he meant. "Why,"
said he, ''I am Methodist minister, and
restrained from swearing, bat these horses
were bought in region where they were
accustomed to hear such language, and l
am endeavoring to come as near as posi-
BILE, conscientiously, in order to induce
them to move, but I'm" Hero he CON-
suited his book, leaving his hearers to
imagine what he sought to give emphasis
to his hopelessness Of making them stir a

''Save me, save me p shouted he to the
workingmen, rushing past them upon the

sprinsing after him. The men gave a

which the water Of the creek plunged with
a frightful roar.

The sound of my voice only seemed to
add more speed to his steps. Presently,

The great paper grass, or grass from
which paper is made, is being extensively
manufactured in England for printing pur-
poses. 1t is said to be excellent as q sub
stitute for rags, and is pronounced quite g
success. From fifty 10 sixty tons of the raw
material make thirty tons of paper, and one
English firm produces this amount per week,
requiring one hundred and sixty eight hands
altogether-men, women and boys. AS
paper is very costly in this country, would
it not pay farmers to try their hand at the
cultivation of this valuable grass They
might try couple Of acres, and give it 3

Some time ago there was . trial for
tresspass in cutting wood frcm a neigh
bor's premises without authority. One
of the plaintiffs witnesses was a plain
old farmer, whose testimony went clearly
and directly to prove the charge. The
defendants counsel, clustering man of
brass, thought to weaken the force of his
evidence by proving idioicy to be trait
of his family. He therefore interroga-
god him thus:
