INSURE YOUR HOUSE, AND FURsITURE.
Every now and then somebody's house
burns down with everything in it and
the man, woman and children who just
now had a nice, comfortable home are
compelled to hunt the friendly shelter
of sage brush to keep them from the
night air. l, is not always possible to
avoid being burned out of house and
home, but it is possible to ix yourself
so that after you are burned out you can
have come back on enough money to
enable you to start in life again, good
as new. This can be done by insuring.
The way is easy. Go to George Chedic.
the agent of the Phoenix and Home In.
surance companies, one of the best of
the many good ones, and he will arrange
matters, more for the love of the thing
than anything else, SO that it will be
more agreeable than otherwise for your
house to become bonfire. Read, care
fully the terms of Mr.. Cbedic's adver.
tisement and then, if you are not the
holder Of policy on your house and
furniture 60 and lay your case before
George SD be will naks yen feel like

There was recited to us some time ago
the following, every particular of which
is vouched for as truth;
There lives III this country a family
named -, every dark-eyed member
of which, for the past iifly years has gone
blind at the age of twenty or twenty-five
years. Those with blue eyes escape the
terrible affliction. There is a tradition
about this singular circumstance which
we luy before our readers as we heard
it. Some sixty years sin, Q, so goes tho
story, beautiful black eyed girl of
twenty, from some cause or other, lost
her eye sight. Her misfortune brought
penury and want with it. Being re
duced to beggnry she was wont to go
abroad asking aims. d ring one of her
journeys she visited the neighborhood in
which resided the ancestors Of those who
are now sightless.
Instead OF her helpless condition eXcit
ing, as it should have done, feeling of
sympathy, she was treated with ridiculp
by some of the younger members of the
house her evil star had led her into
Two of the boys, as matter of mere de-
viltry, took her out, promising to con-
duct her to place where plenty awaited
her. Instead Of giving her safe con
duct, they carried her into a swamp an
left herl 1t is said that she cried out
beseeclingly for them to put her on the
public road, but they needed not her Ia
mentings.
Finding herself about to be deserted
among the tangled brushwood, she turn.
ed her prayer into curse, and asked
her Maker. in her revengeful anguish
to punish her betrayers by making thc.
offspring, for seven generations, IS help
less us she was 1t is said mat she wa
found dead in tho swamp, having per
ished from hu"gor and cold.
This may appear somewhat romantic
but v neither the trddtionary part of
he false or true, it Is assuredly fact tia

to lose their sight as is indicated. Hun
dreds of persons in Dorchester count
will verify it.-Cambridge (Md.) Demo

FRUIT GRAFTING.-A correspondent
in Anne Arundel county, Md, asks for
information as to ''the time proper to cu'
the gratis from which person intends
10 graft"
Grating is performed in two principal
ways scion or slip grating, and graft
ing by approach, or marching. The sea-
son for the operation is about the middle
OF March, when the sap is sing and the
buds are beginning to swell. The graft
ing should not take place Immediately
on cutting the scion; after removal from
its present stem, place it in the ground
for few days, so that it may be partial
ly exhausted of its juices. and be more
ready 70 rec eive the ascending sap from
the stock. Keep il in dry ground, and
not exposed to the sun. A scion may be
brought safely from q distance hy being
stuck in raw potato. Before applying
to the stock, cut the extremity of tho
skin asrcsh. Take one pound lallow, two
pounds bceswax and four rounds rosin;
melt together; pour it into cold water,
end when t is cold enough to handle,
nil il till it is white. Apply cold to the
graft.

The Horse from IA Moral Standpoint.

The driver who fights his horses has
not got through the first lesson in the
management of these animals. Some
strike their horse in fit of anger; 9TH
ers beat them as punishment for what
they conceive to be sinful acts on the
part of the horse. Now, the fact is, tile
horse never does wrong on purpos,. In
this respect he IS better than most men.
If he refuses to pull it is the fault of edu-
cation, and il he runs away and kicks
things to pieces it is because lie is fright
ened. Men, when they are scared, do
some very foolish things, and they are
excused, but no allowance is made for
the runaway horse. He is kicked, and
cuffed, and b"aten, as if it was done ON
purpose to hurt somebody, and not in
consequence of supposed danger, which
the poor animal was trying to flee from
Horses never kick with motive. They
use their heels for defense, and the FIRST
kick at the traces is given to ward off
what to them seems danger. No horse
ever kicked for any other purpose. Thev
cherish no ill-feeling against any one,
AMI always do so far as they know What
is right. The horse can be educated to
do whatever the driver wishes. They
obey cheerfully and without grumbling,
even though put to rest with half rntions

ALL WILL BE WE'LL AT LAST.
When first my little bark was cast
Upon life's flowing tide,
To battle with its turbid waves,
That flow so dark AID wide;
fond, maternal hand was there,
Each surging wave to quell,
And lull, by gentleness. each pain
OF the boy she loved so well.
Twas then that innocence and peace
Within my bosom dwelt,
And nought of lfc's tempestrous waves
1 dreamed, or saw, or felt;
And on, and on, my young life sped,
Beneath rose-hued Sky;
A Inatron's hand to guide me still,
To guard Inc well, n fathers eye.
But waves of sorro came, at length.
AS come they must to all
And ere my boyhood days had fed,
Ofkite, and hoop, and ball;
Fate clipped the moorings strong in
twain,
That bound me to q tender care,
And cast me, hel oless oil the tide,
Life's bufletings to bear.
Since then how many noble forms,
Have faded from my side,
How many cherished dreams had birth
And in my bosom died;
How many friends have proved untrue,
How faithless have been,
Since first my bark was launched upon
The waves of blighting sin.
All, II who rules my destiny,
Alone can truly tell, -
OF the anguish In my bosom,
As the waves around me swell
And when l seem to float upon -
A calm, unrutfied sea, sfes
His eye alone can penetrate q.
The hearts deep mutiny.
Tnen he my light, my only guide, ?

And though may not always DER
The smoothest channels run;s
Tho blighted hopes and witherd dreams
Be DER my pathway cast,
With Thy strong hand to guide mIharll
