A man named Lunnon recently applied
to the town authorities of Wallingford,
Conn.,, for relief as a paUper. The first s.
lectman took him in, furnished him with
meagre board, and sent him to the barn to
sleep, carefully prohibiting him from tFe
hay-mOw. Consequently, after one cold
night, the man was found dead on the arm
floor. The humane seleCtmau thereupon
stripped the corpse, put it in pine box,
and got another man to help him bury IL.

A VHLOCIPBDE LESSON.
Lord Lowell he stood BY the garden gate,
with his shining veloeipede ,-,..r
And whispered farewell ts bis Lady Bell, ID
Who wished for his LOrdship good speed. s-s.
''when viii you be back, Lord LOvel - she said,
But he gave her question no heed
Placed hisfset in the stirruPsr and galloped away
On his famous vsloeipede. ~ 81
Then Lady Bell cried, in frantic alarm, r-
''What a monster my Lord Is, indeed,
To ride thus away from his loving young wife,
On that hOrrid VelociPedeI"
Lord Lowell returned, broten-bsaFtsd and sore, y
Broken armed, and, alas broken-kherd;
For he struck on pest and nearly gave up the ghost
And smashed his yeOcipedeI @ s.E
MORAL.
Remember the fate Lord Lowell has met,
Let this be your warning and eresdi
Stay at home with your wife for the rest Of your life,
And beware Of the vslocipeds.

The Legislature of Nebraska has
passed an act, to exempt from taxa
ton for five years, one hundred dol
lars value OfreaI estate for every acre
of forest trees planted for timber in
that State-the trees to be not more
than Y feet apart; and fifty dollars
per acre for the same period, for every
