A JERSEY HERorNE.-Tho New York
Tribune relates the following thrilling in
cident of the heroism Of u Jersey girl:
yesterday afternoon young lady OF
eighteen, while proceeding along the
Morris and Essex railroad track, between
Orange and Orange Junction, saw gen.
tleman who was walking a few PAGES
ahead of her stagger and fall. At the
same time she saw the down express for
New York approaching. The unfortunate
man fell on the line by which the train
was coming, and his destruction appeared
Inevitable. The courageous girl with all
speed ran to the PROSTATE man, and by
great exertion succeeded in rolling him
off the track, not before the locomotive
had passed and cut off a portion of her
dress. The driver brought his engine to
a stop Immediately, and a doctor descend
ed from the train and found that the un-
conscious man was suffering from an cpl.
leptic attack The passengers loudly
cheered the heroic action. On recover
ing consciousness the gentleman who had
30 nearly lost his life expressed the deep
est gratitude. The young lady persistent
ly refused to give her name, when some
New York merchants mentioned their
desire Of presenting her with testimo-
NAL Amid deafening cheering and the
waving of Observation-Disclosures the train
pursued its way to New York.

LAW REGARDING NEWSPAPERS.

Some persons imagine that they can subscribe
for newspaper and in whimsical mood cease to
take it from the pos-ofce and there their respOn-
sibility ends the reverse is the case, as will be
seen by the following:
Decision OF THE CoURTs.-Any person who
takes paper regularly from the Post Office
whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible
fer the pay If person orders his paper dlscon'
tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publish
er NAV continue to send it until payment is made,
and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the Office or net. The courts have decided
that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals
from the post-ofice, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prma acis evidence of intentional
fraud.

SToop A LIrTLE.-Tho following story
related by Dr. Franklin in g letter to DIR.
Mather, has been often told, and is we'll
worth telling again:
"The last time 1 saw your father" says
DR.. Franklin, twas in l724. In taking
my leave he showed me short way out
of the house, through narrow passage,
which was crossed by beam overhead.
We were still talking as withdrew, he
accompanying me behind, and turning
toward him, he said hastily: 'Stoop !!
stoopH I did. not understand him till l
elt my head hit against the beam. He
was man who never missed an occasion
OF giving instruction, and upon this he
said to me, You are young and have the
world before you; Stoop a little us you 60
through it, and you will avoid many hard
thumpsp This advice, thus beat into my
head, has frequently been. Of use to me ;
and J. often think of it when L see pride
mo, tilted and misfortune brought upon a
people by carrying their heads too high"

CHURCH GorNG.-The question is often
asked, why do not more people attend
church And it is answered in various
ways, though very unsatisfactory. One
reason assigned is that they work so hard
during the week that rest is absolutely
necessa, v on Sunday cr, in other words,
they want an excuse for lying in bed.
Now surely this is an answer that is un-
worthy Of a rational being, who has any
sense of accountability to his Maker. No
doubt, if man has been hard at work,
or has INDUCED in excess, he requires
sleep to set him right; but as rule, men
do not work too hard, and ought not to
indulge in excesses, and, therefore, such
an excuse applies only to an exceptional
condition. The truth is that it is IN er-
roneous notion that rest means simply
physical repose; the true view of it is
change of occupation, whereby not mere
ly rest but recreation is obtained. There
is no great physical labor in going to
church, and there is the calling Of the at
tention 10 topics which perhaps have not
been present to the mind during the week,
but which certainly ought to be dwelt up
or at least once during that time. Now,
nothing can better do this than an appeal
to the heart and the understanding by an
earnest preacher, who has carefully studi-
ed his subject and can present his argu-
ments in a forcible manner. This appeal,
too, is. made in a suitable edifce, with
solemn surroundings, and those who lis
ten to it are further encouraged by the
example of attention set by the congre-
CATION, and by that mysterious sympathy
which animates large numbers OF persons
when assembled together for common
purpose. The plea of requiring rest is an
untenable one; for in addition to the rea-
sons assigned, it is notorious that, if the
Sabbath be in spent idleness. it becomes
fatiguing and irksome towards evening,
so that idlers wish it over and those who
employ it as they ought derive comfort
and pleasure from SO doing.

show themselves amidst the first confu-

= Tho Davenport Qowa) Democrat
tells OF a singular case OF superstition
"Chatting with an aged lady, we noticed
the wonderful preservation and beauty OF
her teeth, and, could not restrain from
mentioning it. Yes said she, 4 never
had a toothache or lost tooth, because
bit the snake On inquiry, she stated
that when children at home, her father

each child bit along the entire longth OF
the backbone, not violently, bnt just SO
as to indent the skin; and tlis was con.
sidered an infallible recipe against tooth
ache and decay, and which the old lady
believes up to the present honr.'
"A heroic act was lately performed
by young girl in Ohio. AS a gentle
man and his wife were going to the ter
ry. about five miles above Bellevue, Ohio,
they got into water fifteen feet deep.
Miss Lenora Smith, hearing their cries OF
distress, hastened TO their assistance, and

the man, and with his help rescued the
woman, two horses and wagon.

No TEACHER LIKE MoTHER.-Sad, in
deed is the picture, gloomy the prospect,
where the sweet bonds between parent
and offspring are rudely snapped by death,
passion, or the force of circumstances.
Melancholy and often perilous, indeed is
that condition of the child, when the
mother is untimcly called TO her account,
ere the bloom of early infancy has passed
from her darling's cheek. Yet more de-
plorabe, when parents faults and evil
habits, ill;judgod severity or culpable in
diligence, have corrupted the understand
ing and alienated the heart OF their off
spring. How delightful is it in our after
days of honor and successful maturity, to
look back on the sunny hours of infancy;
to recall mothers earnest gaze of utter
able fondness; fathers caress of tender
ness and love; to dwell by memory's aid
on their mutual joy at our progress in
strength and knowledge the result of
their united instructions and entreaties-
on the holy preccpts that from their lips
were caught, and the eternal truths they
impressed upon our remembrance and to
feel that, whatever we may possess OF
litc's best gifts. we mainly owe, next to
the Giver of all, to their devoted care.

A HINT TO MorHERs.-lf you allow a
child to got into the habit of sleeping
with it's head under the bed clothes, and
thereby breathing it's own breath over

could only be accounted for from this hab-
it, and which ceased when this habit stop

Love, Jealousy and Bees.

The presence of the green-eyed monster
is as frequently perceived in high as in
low estate. Pretty young ladies are, it is
said, peculiarly liable to the disease. 1t
creeps into their hearts in such insidious
disguise that the artless little beauties
are not aware of it's existence until it
crops out in such passionate excuses that
it frightens them to contemplate it.
No doubt it was precisely in such way
that young lady on Franklin street, AL
bany, became amenable to its influence.
For some time past she has regarded a
youth with especial favor. Charlie pos
sesses many attractive qualities. He dress.
es in the latest mode, wears an "Alpine, y
and cultivates moustache Yet he is
tickle in his disposition, and while his lips
were attuned to the harmony of sweet
words, and low passionate recital of
loves anguish for the fair Julia's ears, his
mind is enumerating the attractions of the
pretty little widow around the corner.
Now, this widow is no friend of Julia or
she of her. For her life she can't see what
Charlie admires in her. Indeed, Charlie
denies any special interest in the coquett-
ish beauty, but he goes to see her none
the less The fact that Julia dlsapproved
it had no effect in changing, his practice,
and longing with woman's curiosity to
know what it meant, Julia determined to
find it out. She forgot her selfrespect,
and became spy. The pretty Julia be-
came an eavesdropper.
Seeing Charlie entering the front door
of the cozy little cottage wherein the wild
ow abided, she hastened to admit herself
into the yard by the rear gate, and peeped
in at the window. Just underneath the
window, however, was little square box,
on which Julia stood to get a good look
into the room. Her worst fears were re-
allied On sofa just large enough for
two, the pretty widow and Charles sat,
with heads inclined, and low monotone
issuing from the lips of either, telling, as
plainly as words might have done, of
loves confessions.
Julia stepped back, the box turned over,
and innumerable angry little insects issu-
ing, proclaimed it beehive. Of course
they stung her. Fierce as mimic warriors
the angry little demons laid hold of her
shapely extremities, popping sting into
her plump little hand, another into her
rounded cheek, and even the silken hose
were no protection to the exquisitely fash
ioned ankle. She rolled on the ground
and crushed ruthlessly in mud and mire
her hands, feet and body.
The house was alarmed, and the in
mates came rushing out to learn the cause
'ot the uproar. Even the impudent Char
lie looked cunningly over the widows
shoulders; but that might be pardoned,
had he not asked sympathetically, eff the
bees had not stung her?" Hartshorn and
camphor were called into requisition, and
Julia, swathed in hannels, and poisoned
by the sting of the bees, consigns both
Charlie and the widow to very disagrea-
BILE lives hereafter.

- Two Irishmen stopping at the
Island House, Toledo, last week, lit their
gas, and, with windows open, sat down
to enjoy chat. The hungriest Toledo
mosquitoes soon focked in and drove
them desperate. The clerk, who was
summoned to devise some defence against
them, told them to close the windows
and put out the gas They acted on tho
suggestion and placed themselves be-
tween the sheets. Just as they began to
doze lightning bug, which had strayedl
into the room. caught the eye of one OF
the travellers. He reused his companion
