Five Cents Worth of Orange Peel.

A man from the country invested five
ceuts in the purchase Of an orange and
preparatory to getting himself outside
of it threw the peel GU the sidewalk.
Soon after a 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 come
from St. Paul, MINI, and was obliged
to return on account Of business, to
await the recovery of the girl, On his
way back he unfortunately took train
on the Erie railroad, which ran off the
track. and his shoulder. blade was brok.
en-, forcing him to stop at Dunkirk for
repairs. The Travellers Insurance
Company, in which he was insured, had
to pay two hundred and fifty dollars in
weekly instalmeuts before he recovered.
On getting back to St. Paul he found
that his forced absence had upset n
business arrangement which he had ex.
pected to complete, ut pecuniary loss
to him of $4,000 Meantime the in.
jured girl suffered a relapse, which SO
enfeeblcd her health that marriage was
delayed, which had bad effect upon
the young man, aud he finally broke the
engagement and married a widow in
Minnesota with four small children.
This SO worked upon the mind of the
girl that she is now in the insane hospi-
tai in Middletown. Her father, outraged
by the conduct of the young man, brought
suit for breach Of promise, and has
just recovered $4,000. The anxiety
aud expense Of the whole affair thus far
has been enormous, as anybody can see
Similar cases are likely to occur as long
as people will persist in throwing orange
peel around loose.-Harford Cowaat

Poverty in the Parsonage.

The following remarks from the pen
Of DIR. Guthrie are commended To the

The calamity which stand in dread

doomed, is one Of the great evils under

erous aud hospitable, to open his hand
as wide as his heart to the poor, to
give his family q good education, to
bring them up in what 10 called genteel
life, and TO deny him the means Of
doing so, is enough, but for the hope Of
heaven, to embitter his existence.
In the dread OF debt; in many daily
mortifcations-meeting, perhaps, some
old acquaintance, whom he dared not
ask to his table, lest his prudent wife
should frown upon his extravaganza
in harrassing fears what shall become
OF his wife and children when his head
lies in tho grave; man of cultivated
mind and delicate seusibilities has trials
to bear more painful than the privations
OF the poor.
II is bitter cup, and my heart bleeds
for brethren who have never told their
sorrows, concealing under their cloak
the fox that gnaws at their vitals.

The Art Of Happiness.

Write Home--A Word to Young Men,

There can be no excuse for any young
man who never writes home, or whose
letters to the old folks there--whose
dreams are ever Of her son--are few
and far between, and not worth much
even when obtained. II is sad to think,
that there are young men who let weeks
aud months pass away without letter
to their parents, or their brothers and
sisters--who, when they do write, only
send line or two with some lame ex-
cuse for their not doing more, line or
two saying nothing, Just eoutainingsome
stereotypea statement, or vague utter
auce, which gives no information. Why

to the far-off town or village home, con-

gossip its account ofauy circumstance
or incident that may have promise in il

gle, Of ofdawning success or its references

to, with Thousand things besides, which
may be small in themselves, but which
show an interest in the members Of

don't neglect home. Don't seem indif-
ferent to your own family, MS ifall your
interest were transferred to strangers.
Keep the chain of communication bright
by use, and write freely and fully, With
unrestrained confidence, that it may be
felt that there is neither blight on the
affections nor error in the life, which is
too often the cause of that lapse in filial
or fraternal correspondents, which,
though the result also at times Of mere
thoughtlessness, is always unkind and
sometimes cruel. Count Der Gasparin

As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that Is done
In everybody's house.
Ttsre's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree,
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr.. Nobody.
IT'S he who always tears our books
Who leaves the door ajar;
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar.
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
BY Mr.. Nobody.
He puts damp wsod upon the Gre,
That kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soil.

Hints for Everyday Use.

Favor yourself! Show a little Chris
tiap charity toward the patient body
that performs the behcsts of your will,
if you haven't any toward the soul that
is helping you upward. Don't expect
too much Of yourself!
Take trouble coolly. Do not despair
when the dark hour Of trial comes down
upon you, as it must, sooner or later,
upon us all Nature never folds her
hands 10 despair when the lightning
strikes down the noblest oak in all the
forest! Not she ! She goes to work
and covers the unsightly black stump
with blossoming vines aud velvet moss
and silver.outlined lichens, until it is
lovlier than it was before. Just borrow
suggestion from the mighty mother
when you are inclined to despond
Don't 90 round with face quarter

to infict your woes on society at larger

balls-they guther size as they go, until
some day you will be crushed beneath
their weight. If you once make up
your mind that you are an ill-used per-
sOnagc, there will be plenty of collateral
evidence ou hand to prove it. Nobody
ever yet looked for a grievance without
finding it. Be man, aud resolve to
conquer yourself. Starve your trouble
to death--give it nothing to feed on
no broodiug thought, no morbid sympa-
thy; aud when it is dead, bury troll
great stone over its grave and start
afresh.
Give yourself fair chance in life.
Let black draughts aud patent medi-
cines alone. A brisk walk 10 the open
air, once day without fail, is better
than pills and notions Be good CON-
pauy for yourself, too. Don't 60 out,
saunteriHg along, with your hands in
your pockets and your head sunk down
upon your breast, imagining that you
are taking excellent exercise. You
might as well be travelling over the tread
mill. Think pleasant things-call up
bright remembrances-freshen your
mind aud brain as we'll as your body.
If you were entertaining company, you
would not range all your cares and trials
and tribulations before them by way Of
light conversation. Why should you
be less cousiderate of yourself? Leave
your affections at home-they need no
exercise--and take blessing with you
10 ponder on as you walk. There is no
man so poor that he has not at least one
blessing to accompany him on his daily
walk
Speak pleasantly to those at home.
Cross words are like the rows Of domi.
noes we used to set upon the table in
our childish games. When one fell, il

Do your share towards keeping the
world in good humor. Courtesy is
cheap, and he who can give nothing
else, certainly can afford a polite word
aud pleasant look There are enough
curmudgcons to more than balance civ
ilized society. and you certainly owe
your allegiance to the latter.
