lie who works stated number Of hours

larly receives his wages and lives within

dependent man in the world. With hi,
tools he lays aside his care. and in his
family or with his friends spend happy
lile-with nothing whatever TO perplex
him, and everything to give content.
This is one view of the matter. and is
probably entertained by those who are
wcaried and perplexed with the cares and
responsibilities of experimenting large
business, or conducting intricate opera
tons. People are always Inclined I"
imagine any other position better, in some
rcspccts, than their own. The happy man
above described envies his employ er, and
wishes that, instead of being The mere
agent, bound to move at anoihers dircc-
ton, he could change places with his
principal. For he knows his own embar-
rassments and cares. and if he has rot
the the burden Of the direction OF great
affairs, he has the daily anxiety OF con-
irving how he shall make q stated sum

person whose labor can be most easily
dispensed with. The service Of no man
50 purely mcrcenary is worth much.
True independence, SO far as one can
be independent. is accessible both TO
employers and employed. The secret Is
to undertake mo more than can he
managed; and to determine that you ~'"
have no hours of relaxation, when you
can dismiss tho cnres OF business from
your thoughts. As Poor Richard has It,
"Drive your business, and not let your
business drive you" In eager CON-
petition, men give themselves too little
rest. and undertake too much. Some
one asked an English statesman and
iurist, how he could get through tn"

A SINGULAR ADVENTURE.


The Muskegon Michigan Enterprise
relates the following singular adventure /:
When we were publishing paper in
Lewisburg, Western Virginia, several
years ago,a very singular accident befell
Young man there. which We narrated
briefly at the time. A few days ago we
chanced to meet him here in Muskcgon.
and he re-narratcd his adventure Mt our
request. Ii occurred OH the farm OF Gen.
A. w. G.. Davis, in Greenbrier County,
1853. We give his story in his own
words. as near as we can recollect them ::
81 was ploughing on Gen. Davis's
farm, in 1856" said he, "unsuspicious OF
being on insecure ground, when suddenly
the earth seemed TO fall beneath me. l
saw the horses descending. but was TOO
frightened to let 60 the plough-handles.
The pitch Of the horses with the earth
gave my fall IN impetus, and somehow
caught The name Of one Of them in my
fall, and so held on instinctively. What
thought when falling can hardly tell.
At any rate, did some rapid thinking.
When landed, fell on the horse whose
name had hold of. and although the
horse was instantly killed, was merely
stunned and confused.
On recovering myself | looked up, and
the hole through which l had fallen
looked SO small that concluded must
have fallen full one hundred and fifty
feet. My first thought was to cry for
aid, but instantly recalled the fact that
was at least a mile from Gen. Davis's
house, and that there was not the rcmot-
est probability that any one had seen my
descent into the earth. 1t was then early
morning; and as had brought out my
dinner with me. no ono would miss me
before nightfall. While gong over these
facts in nv own mind. heard the rush
of waters near at hand. and it occurred
to me that | must have fallen upon the
bed of Sinking Greek, which, as you
know, falls intoth earth above Frankfort,
and does not come ont but once ill IL
reaches the bank Of the Greenbrier
River.
To stay where I was. or attempt to
follow the subterranean passage. was the
next question. | sometimes took the
team to my own tenant stable, and there
fore might not be missed for days. 30 I
determined to follow the underground
stream. waded into it, and, judging
from its depth Of from one to three feet,
concluded it must be the identical
Sinking Greek spoken of. Leaving my
dead companions behind me. ] followed
the stream. For the most part l had
pretty easy work of it. but sometimes l

At that the boys yelled derisively and
flung more mud and stones at them. One
threw stone-a heavy stone, sharp point

missile few swiftly through the air and
chrushed against the golden head Of the
devoted vile. A stream OF blood gushed
from the white temple and poured down
upon the bosom where it dropped never

The crowd was hushed in silence. The
culprits skunk away in terror. A sober

to swim for considerable distance;

then again was often precipitated head
long into deep water by the precipitous
nature Of the rocky bed Of the stream.
Talk about the darkness ol the grave! A
grave itself could not have been more

to lose my labor by retracing my steps.
It seemed to me that the farther went

swift current. and soon found that il was
so swift in its confined passage that only
needed TO hold my breath TO 60 through.
In the course Of twenty or thirty feet
again got my head above water, and took
a long breathing spell. Again the arch.
way above seemed to enlarge. and the

along comparatively rapidly. keeping my

NEVER SAY DIE. The Skowhegan Re-
porter publishes some records of the earli-
er settl emcnt Of New Portland. and one
anecdote shows that people were not all
good any more than they now are. For
instance One Vim Quint 'squatted' on
the Millay hill. Mr.. Millay claimed to bs
The owner of the land and ordered Qulnt
off,-Quint refused to GO. One day when
Ouint was away from home, Millay came
and ordered his wife out Of the house.
Mrs. Quint was thoroughly charged with
the bclligerent spirit of her husband. and
refused; shut the door and fastened it.
Millay soon climbed the castle of logs.
and began warfare by throwing car
ridges down the chimney into the fire,
which exploded 10 .he great terror of tho
children. He then called out to Mrs. q.
asking her if she would leave. She re-
piled no without parlrv. Down went
more cartridges, up went more cries OF
the frightened children; down came
another demand of surrender, mp went
the defiant refusal. II, next tried to de-
scend the 'catsiick' chimney: but he had
only got part way down when the war
like woman emptied her straw bed upon
the fire. He scrabbled and crawled out
for dear liie' but not before he had be-
come nearly smothered with smoke and
so badly singed that he made the woods
rim with his howls and pain.
