CARELEssSEss-Am man from the country
invested five cents in the purchase of an
orange, and preparatory to getting him
self outside of it threw the peel on tho
sidewalk. Soon after young woman
came along, slipped upon the peel and fell,
breaking her leg. The woman was to
have been married the next day, but
wasn't. The man who was to marry her
had como from St. Paul, Minnesota, and
was obliged to return, on account of bust
ness, to await the recovery Of the girl.
On his way back he unfortunately took a
train on the Eric rai!r ad, which ran Of
the track, and his shouller-blnde was
broken, forcing him to stop at Dunkirk
for repairs The Travellers Insurance
Company, in Which he was insured, had
to pay $3.50 in weekly installmcnts before
he rcco vcrcd. On getting back to St.
Paul he found that his forced absence had
upset business arrangement which he
had expected to complete, at pecuniary
loss to Lin Of $4,000. Meantime the in.
jurcd girl suffered a relapse, which SC
enfecbled her health that her marriage
was delayed, which had bad effect upon
The young man, and he finally broke he
engagement and married widow in Min.
nesota with four small children. This SC
worked upcn the mind Of the girl that she
is now in the insane hospital in Middle
town. Her father, outraged by the con-
duct of the young man, brought a suit
for breach Of promise, and has just re.
covered $4,000. The anxiety and OK.

In November VIC we're told that the cleo

troubles, and place business and industry
upon solid footing. One of the first re-
suits was to be tho approximation ofgreen-
backs to par. Yesterday (Nlay 26) gold
went IN to 421. Times are harder than
in any year since '57. There is depres-
sion everywhere, confidence nowhere, and
the future is dark with the shadow Of
coming distress:
We have received half bushet of ad-
yertisements, more or less, from various
Advertising Agents, pro1ering Due bills
for almost every conceivable article
Once for all, gentlemen, We don't do bus
mess that way. With US you pay for what
you get, and you pay cash. We have
been victimizcd several times, and if we
understand ourselves, aud VIC think VIC do,
We won't be any more. We are always
glad to accommodate our friends by pub
fishing advertisements, but all foreign ad-
vertising must be accompanied by the
cash, orit will 60 "into the basket broad
and deep that stands beneath our table,"
After all the sickcnins batteries with
which Bennett, Of the Heruhl, has be-

mocls at his calamities
We expected too much. But then it
must be assentcd that VIC have got much
less than we might even reasonably have
looked for. We have 60. nothing, and
here it is that absolute failure is obvious.
Grant was rclicd upon to do all. because
in lis whole career he had seemed man
Of common sense, common honesty aud
resolutc purpose. But his resolute pur-
pose has become pucrilc vacillatiou
his common honesty ncpotism, or worse;
and common sense is the quality Of all
qualities that the Administration is most

Beautiful slmlle.


An Alpine hunter, ascending Mont
Blanc, in passing over the Mer dc
Clace lost his hold and slipped into
one of those frigbtful erevices by
which the sea of ice Is cleft to its
foundation. By catching himself in
his swift descent against the points of
rocks and projecting spurs o. ice, be
broke his fall, so that he reached the
bottom alive, but only to face death
in more terrible form. On either
hand the ice rose up to the heaven,
above which he saw only strip of
blue sky. At his feet trickIed a lit
tie stream formed froms the slowly
melting glacier. Thcre was but one
possible chance of escape-to follow
this rivulet, which might lead to some
unknown oreviee or passage. In ST.
lenoo and terror be picked his way,
down the mountain side, till his farther
advance was stopped by a giant elf
that rose up before him, while the riv-
er rolled darkly below. lie heard the
roaring of the waters below, which
seemed TO wait for him. What
should he do? Death was
beside him, and he might fear,
before him. There was no time
for reflection or delay. He paused
but an instant, and plunged into thA
stream. One minute Of breathless
suspense-a sense of darkness and
coldness, and yet of swift motion, as
if he was gliding through the shades
below, and then a light began TO gIim-
mer family in tho waters, and the
next instant he was among the green
fields and flowers and the sumner
sunahine Of the vale Of Chamouny.
So it is when believers die. They
come 70 the bank Of the river, and It
is cold and dark. Nature shrinks
from the fatal plunge. Yet one chilli
ing moment. aud all fear is left behind,
ard the Christian 10 amid the fields Of
the paradise Of God.

A Little Fable.

The sword of the warrior was taken
down to brighten it had not been
long out of use. The rBst was rubbed
off, but there were spots that would
not go-they were spots of blood. 1t
was on the table near the pen of the
Secretary. The pen took advantage
of the first breath of air to move far
ther off.
Thou art right, said the sword, Il
am a bad neighbor.
l fear thee not, replied the pen !;
am more powerful than thou art,
but love not thy society,"
Il exterminate, said the sword.
L perpetuate,' answered the pen,
where are thy victories, if l record
them not? Even where shalt thou
one day be-in the lake of Oblivion
