fire between one and two o'clock on Sun

as we'll as could be ascertained, the follow
ing contents: 1900 to 1000 bus. Of wheat;
1000 bushels oats; 700 bushels corn a
large quantity of rye. barley and buck
wheat; tons chop; and 60 barrels Of

best water power mills in this county,
with run of seven burrs. and was large

Adjoining the building was erected two
years ago paper mill. with machinery
costing about $4,000. which was also total
ly consumed, together with about $1,000
worth of paper ready for market. The
total loss will be from 100000 $4,000.
on which there was only about $4,000 in
surance. A day or two previous to the
fire the owners were making arrangemets
to increase the insurance.
The cause of the fire is not definitely
known; the night engineer left the paper
mill at ten minutes to twelve on Saturday
night, with The fire properly secured. 1t
originated in the basement Of the grist
mill, where the boilers were placed to run
the paper mill. Since the fire large

TaIIeErand,s Denth BED.

For nearly half a century this veteran
diplOmatist acted a prominent part il
the affairs of Europe. As the prime
minister or ambassador of the Directory
the consulate, the empire and the mon,
arehy of Louis Philippe, he negotiated
the important treaties which termina.
ted the boundaries and the fate of king
dOms, and formed plans which made
Napoleon an emperor, and the emperor
an exile. Such a mans view of an
eventful life of four score years furnishes
instructive lessons to men who are
wasting the energies of being, on pOlit-
ical ambition or worldly aggrandize-
ment. Just before his death a paper
was found on his table on which he had
written, by the light of lamp, such lines
as these:
Behold, eighty-thTee years passed
away. What care! What agitation
What anxiety! F! What i'll will! What
sad complications And all without re-
suits, except great fatigue Of mind and
body, and profound sentiment of dis
cOuragement with regard to the future,
and disgust with regard to the pastr'
Contrast with this the exclamation of
''Paul the aged, p as he was about closing
his earthly career: at have fought the
good fight; 1 have kept the faith; hence
forth there is laid up for me q crown of
which the Lord the right
eOus Judge shall give me at that day
A death bed is the triumphant chariot
of the useful Christian, however humble;

ly unbeliever, however exalted.

A Moment of Terror.

An exciting scene took place in a ball
room during the past summer, some
where in New Jersey. Among the per.
sons present was young lady who haG
a great horror of snakes, and after dane.
ing awhile, she was greatly alarmed by
feeling a sensation, as though a serpent
had fixed itself beneath the folds of heI
dress. Grasping the head of the monster
tightly in her grasp, she screamed aloud
for assistance. A hasty consultation
among the calmest of the ladies was
held, when it was determined that DIR.
TinsOn, who was present, should be call
ed to their assistance. He was quickly
on the spot, and being a man of uncOm-
mon courage, he was not many moments
with the circle of weeping and half
fainting females, before he had caught
the tail of the snake, and wound it firm
ly around his hand, telling Miss NJ. that
she must let 60 the moment he jerked,
and to make act as instantaneous as
possible, he told her that he would pro-
nOUnce the words one, two, three, and
that at the moment he pronounced the
last word, she must let 90 her hold, and
that he doubted not he could withdraw
the snake before it would have time to
strike. All stock in breathless horror,
awaiting the act of life or death, and
the moment the words were pronounced
the DR.. ierked out the longest and most
diabOlical looking hustle that was ever
seen in New Jersey. The whole affair
was soon explained; the fastening of
the machine had become loose during
the dancing, and it had shifted its pos
ition in such a way that it dangled about,
and induced the belief that it was a
Doctor fell right down in his tracks, and

God Sees Us.

One day the astronomer Mitchell was
engaged in making some observation on
the sun, and as it descended towards
the horizon, just as it was setting, there
came into the rays of the great telescope
the top Of hill seven miles away. On
the top Of that hill was a large number
Of apple trees, and in one Of them were
two boys stealing apples. One was get
ting the apples, and the other was watch
ing to make certain that nobody saw
them, feeling certain that they were un-
discovered. But there sat Prof Mitchell,
seven miles away, with the great eye of
his telescope directed fully upon them,
seeing every movement they made as
plainly as if he had been under the tree
with them.
So it is often with men. Because they
do not see the eye which watches with
a sleepless vigilance, they think they
are not seen. But the eye of God is up
on them and not an action can be con
cealed. If man can penetrate with
the searching eye which science con
stituted for his use, the wide realm
of the material heavens, shall not
He who sitteth upon the earth, which
He has made the resting place of His
feet?

WHOLE NUMBER lO8.
How the Timber Goes.


Speaking Of the rapid elimination of
the forest Of America, an Eastern jour-
nal SAYS:
The present consumption of wood in
the United States is enormous. One
hundred and fifty thousand acres Of the
best timber is cut every year to supply
the demand for railway sleepers alone.
For railroad buildings, repairs and cars,
the annual expenditure in wood is thir-
ty-eight millions Of dollars. In a single
year the locomotives in the United
States consume fifty-six millions of dol
lars, worth of wood. There are, in the
whole country, more than four hundred
thousand artisans in wood, and if the
value of their labor is one thousand dol
lars. a year, each, the wood industry of
the country represents an amount near
ly five hundred millions Of dollars per
annum.
It viii be seen, therefore, how extern
sive are the interests dependent upon
the production Of lumber. Probably
laws will have eventually to be enacted
by the State Legislatures to prevent
such destruction of the forests as will be
likely to result in material injury to the
country, and it may be necessary to en-
courage the planting of forests to meet
the demands of agriculture.

A Physician on Dancing.

/ That beautiful, graceful accomplish
ment of dancing, so perverted by late
I hours and the indecency of fashionable
l attire, has outraged many sensible peO-
pie, and led them to deprive the young
I ones of the most simple and healthTul
enjOyments, because it has been abused.
/ For myself, can testify not only to its
/ healthful, but recupeTatiYe power. The
/ fiftieth year of my age found me enjoy
/ ing this life-cheeTing exercise. 1t should
/ be one of the earliest amusements of
children, and care should be taken by
! parents that it is understood as an
amusements. While I am on this topic
will mention a case that occurred in my
practice. A thoughtful mother who had
lost three children, brought to me her
only remaining child, daughter. Her
temperament nervOus-biliOus-the neT-
vOUs fearfully predOminant-with great
irritability of the system, peevish, pas
siOnate, dyspeptic, sleepless, exacting,
arbitrary and uncomfortable; the poor
child looked sad, old, morbid and mis-
cradle. She had been to school, because
her parents thought it an amusement
for her to be with other children. After
critically examining her physiOgnOmy,
l said to her mother, "What is the tenn
perament of your husband ?n "The
same as my own" she replied. 'Then
the child is dOUbly stamped. Very
vigorous measures must be used if you
expect to restore her to health. Divorce
her Immediately from anything mental
so far as memOrizing is concerned; send
her to a dancing school, that she may
combine exercise with order and melO-
dy, and thus some of her rough edges
may be rOunded.-The child's eyes open
ed with wonder and delight, interrupted
with Dancing school? Oh, how I've
lOnged to 60 but mother says it's wrong
and leads to wickedness."
What a dilemma for a physician
what a dilemma for a child ''Did you
ever intend your daughter to play the
piano, guitar, or other musical instrU-
ments?" said I. "Oh, yes" was the
answer. "Why," I continued "why
show such partiality to the upper eXtrem-
titles. The hands are rendered happy as
a medium of melody; the feet are rem
dered equally happy in the same way.
A nice afternoon school revived the
little girl who grew in health and har-
mOny every month as she followed the
hygienic rules prescribed for her. Dane
ing is a beautiful, graceful recreation,
and is not responsible for the abuse lux
ury has thrown around it. The vulgar
ism and eXcitements of the ballroom
have no more to do with the simple en-
jOyment Of the dance than the rich wine
and sumptuOUs banquets of the gOur-
mand, in whom they induce diease,
have to do with the temperate repasts
that satisfy the natural wants of the
bOdy.-DF. II. K. Hunt

BOUGHT uImsELF.

An amusing affair happened lately
between a coal dealer and a purchaser
The latter was very anxious to see that
the former did not cheat him, so he
(the purchaser) inspected the weighing
of the coal himself, and felt perfectly
satisfied that he had got his full allow
ance, without any desire on the part OF
the coal dealer to ''shave." However.
while the coal was weighing, the driver
of the team could not help laughing,
aware at the time that the purchaser
was particular about his full weight of
coal. The purchaser, noticing the
laughing Of the driver, asked him when
he received the coal, what it was all
about; so the driver told him. Why
said he, when your coal was weighing
you were standing on the scales, and
were weighed with it, Is it possible 1?
Why, I weigh nearly two hundred
pOundsp well, sir said the driver
you are sOId.' Yes was the reply,

HOW 20 Advertise.

When a business man has established
/ himself comfortably and advantageous
[ ly, and is ready to take part in the bat
[ ties of trade; when he has things IN such
/ a shape as to be able to do a good thing
for himself and his patrons when ne
has even acquired q good and substan-
tial business, There Is yeta step to take
the neglect of which may modify to q
considerable extent, his success. Ihls
step is to advertise his business judicl-
| Ously, literally, persistently.
There are many ways of advertising.
A man sells fine piece of goods at a
low price: the customer tells of it, and
that is an advertisement. A manufac-
tuTer sends out a fine and neatly work
ing Implement: his name is upon 1t,
and every days work it does is an ad-
vertiSement to him. This method
stands at the foundation of all success
ful advertising; for man must sell his
goods or do good work to permanently
succeed.
Another specie eff advertising may be
called the efence-daubing system. EnOT-
NOUS black letters, in all sorts of shock
ing and unnatural shapes, stare you in
the face as you ride along the highway.
These rude characters advise you to
go to Smiths or Trade at JOnes',' or
Take DR.. Jenkins Celebrated Pills 1t
is very much to be questioned whether
this kind of advertising results in any
great good to the man who employs it.
The impression made upOu the mind of
the observer is not a pleasant Onei for
he has a feeling that is inappropriate
and distastefnI to disfigUre the peoples
highway. Then the folks riding along
the road generally have some specific OBJ
ject of business or pleasure in view, and
have no time to take into consideration
the facts or fancies placed before them
in such a startling manner.
There is another disadvantage
with this system: there is no room on
fence boards or walls to paint the partic-
Ulars of an advertisement. This disad-
vantage is Obviated by printed hand
bills, which are also much neater and
handsOmer and the next step higher
from cOal-tar and brush. But these are
not calculated to make so much impress
ion on the reader, in that they are gen
orally read while he is in a standing pO-
sitiOn, and hence read hastily and inn
completely.
The very refinement of advertising,
and the most successful method, is OBJ
viously through the newspaper. There,
a man can have his business told in
plain language, and neatly printed, and
his name and announcement, instead of
hanging against the wall for storms to
beat against, or to be trampled in the
mire, will rest upon the sitting room
table, to be read by every member of the /
family.
When the days work is done, and the
lamps are lit, and the family gather
around the hearth; then it is that the
local paper is read, every word, adver-
tisements and all. Then it is that the
minds of those reading, are ready to re-
ceive, consider, and remember it all.
Then it is, that the fact is demonstrated
that fifty dollars year, spent in adver- /
tising in q good newspaper, is worth a
hundred spent in other methods.-HjIls- |

RadIeal Reconetruction.


The Radical idea of reconstruction is
evidently borrowed from John Robin
sons circus. Those who have witnessed
the performances of 'the great Ameri-
can combination, +" I'VE mean John Rob
insOn's,) will remember how the clown
knocks over the young gentleman in
gold lace, and then cries out "pOOr fell
low" sets him up again and goes to
washing him clean, as he says, with a
dirty broom. Then he dusts him off
with q blacking brush, and polishes him
with rake. Then he Whirls him about
and asks, ''nOw, isn't he beautiful ?U
That is reconstruction over and over
again. Congress- takes a State and
knocks it down. Then sets itup. Then
scrubs it with negro suffrage. Then
polishes it with bayOnets. Then dusts
it with martial law. Then finally, if
the State goes Radical like Mississippi,
Congress says, now, isn't it beautiful p
The people are becoming sick of this
There is no fun in it. 1t is all well
enough as a circus trick, but too serious
when applied to real life.
Duty and policy alike demand that
the whole system of reconstruction shall
be swept away, and that a Convention
of all the States be held to re-affirm the
principles of the men of, IS, and, to place
upon a stronger foundation, the pTinci-
pie of local self-gOvernment. The poll
cy of Capitalization must be crushed out,
if constitutional freedom is to be sus-
tanned and vindicated, and the indepen-
dence and individuality of the cO-Ordi-
nate branches of the Government restor-
ed.

Female Influence.

How often have seen a company oil
men, who were disposed to be riOtOus,
checked all at once into decency by the
accidental enterance of an amiable wO-
man; while her good sence and Obliging
department charmed them at least into
a temporary conviction, that there is
nothing so beautiful as female excel
lence, nothing so delightful as female
conversation. To form the manners O.
men, nothing contributes so much as the
caste of the woman they converse with
Those who are most associated with wO-
men Of virtue and understanding, will
be always found the most amfable char.
acters. Such society, beyond every.
thing else, rules off the prOtrusi0ns that
gave to many an ungraciOus roughness
it produces a polish more perfect and
more pleasing than that which is receiv-
ed from a general commerce with the
world. This last is often speciOus, but
commonly superficial; the other is the
result Of general feelings and a more
elegant humanity; the heart itself is
moulded, and habits Of undissembIed
courtesy are formed.
