to purchase machinery for the next harvest, are
referred to the card of Mcssrs. Blain, Young
Co., of this city, in the paper before you. It is
not necessary for to say anything laudatory of
the above mentioned firm, for during the years
they have transacted business among they have
established reputation for probity and liberality

attention to the fact that addition the usual
clay out'' Offered customers in the line of cloth
ing, dry goods, groceries, ETC.. they have band
and will fill all orders for Thresbcrs, Headers,
Mowers, and all the various frst-class agricultu-
raj implements demanded by farmers. AS

to enable them to their crops in the most
expeditions manner, lessening the expense and in

BAD OYSTER SToRY.-This is an origi
nal story. 1t originated with somebody
some years ago. 1t is a highly interesting
story, said never to have been published
before it appeared in a newspaper many
years ago, and though not exactly in season
it is good:
Scene-Steamboat pantry; enter French
| man.
"Sair, you keep 20 raw oystair?"
eyes, sir; fine fat Prince Bay"
Frenchman-1Ies bien, will eat some
raw oystair.
The steward opens fine raw one, and
puts it on plate before the Frenchman,
who eyes it for some time, then says:
Monsieur, you call this good oystair'
"Yes, sir; prime"
The Frenchman swallows 1.-THE first
oyster he ever ate; opens his eyes, puts
his hands on his bread basket, and
":B-la-u-pw up comes the oyster on the
plate.
"Sacratxms BY gar, zat is no good
oystair."
"You don't put on salt and pepper, sir. /"
"Oh, pardon me" Puts on salt and
pepper and swallows it.
"B-la-u.pw Up it comes again.
"Now you tell me Eat oystair good |"
"Why, sir, you must use vinegar"
"Oh! oui, cersainment, be gar; oui."
And swallows the same again.
"B-l.a.u.p" and up again it comes on
the plate.
Just then Bohemian enters.
"Give me dozen raw"
The Frenchman turns to him.
"Ah! my friend, you eat se raw oys'
tair ?"
"Of course"
"You call Eat ze raw oystair"
"Yes; fine, fat one."
"Ha ha tink is Eat good oystair, sup.
pose you eat him."
"With pleasure, sir" and the man Of
notes gave it dash of pepper sauce and
bolted it.
The terrified steward stood aghast. He
didn't mind "sawing" a Frenchmau, but
an old customer was another thing.
The Freuchmau turned on his heel.
"My friend. Eat may be good oystair,
but did not like him-I swallow Eat oys.
ter three times"
"B-l.a.u-pw up came the oyster and the
Frenchman danced with delight.

WONDERFUL EscApE.-The Harris
burgh, (Pa.) Telegraph of September %,
says
"The mother Of child, living id tho
Red Lion Hotel, put the little fellow to bed
at an early hour. The room in which the
child was placed is on the third story
There is but one window in the apartment,
and the mother left the lower sash up,
with the blinds closed, and, as she suppus-
ed, fastened. She pushed the bed against
the wall on each side Of the window, so
that the little QUE, who is only about three
years old, would not roll off About 104
o'clock, a sound was heard as Of child
crying, and Immediately some enc went to
the room to inquire the cause. The first
fare of the lamp revealed to the Mortified
gaze that the shutters we're partly open,
and the little one had fallen from the win
dow to the hard brick pavement below, .
distance of about twenty-five feet. The
proprietor Of the house Immediately ran
down stairs, and found the child on its
hands and knees ON the pavement, crying.
A physician was sent for, who carefully
examined the child, and found that not q
bone had been broken. This morning the.
little fellow complained good deal Of
soreness about his neck and breast. Fur
ther than that he appears to be uninjured.

When Dr.. Goodman arose to 20, there

firm resolve in the fathers eyes. ,.e3
Two years have passed. and little Belle
is playing in the meadow with merry
group Of children, searching for the four

the beacon Of good fortune. How her
bright eyes fash a. she waves her trophy
above het head. She knows but little Of
French, and has forgotten how to analyze'
a flower; but she can tell you the working
bee from the drone; the red birds and
the wren's notes and where the sweet
smelling wild flowers grow. What if her
aprons were soiled, and her face sunburu-
cd? Is she not prodigy? Certainly,
her fond parents think so, as she tells them
of the pleasant play in the meadow, and
the finding of four-leaved clover.
DR.. Goodman still lives, and the gossips
of Wisdomfield love to tell how he miracu-
lousy cured Belle Turner, and the little
girl is always called "Dr. Goodman's Pa

MASONIC OBLIaATIoNs.-The moral
responsibilities Of members of the Masonic
order are forcibly presented ir the follow
ing extract, from recent address of the
Master Of the Grand Lodge Of Mississippi;
aud will apply as a lesson to most Of ths
other fraternal orders:
Last, but not least, the iuef6ciency and
ignorance Of Masonic officers ia the State
are fruitful sources Of wantonuess aud in.
morality. Where officers assume the right
to profanc Gods name as personal hber-
ty, what are We to expect Of private sobm-
bers, especially young men, just entering
the fraternity When masters Of Lodges
claim the right to be Incorporate, can ~
be surprised that the members get drunk.
and shed blood! The world should know
what mountains Of sacred obligations Ma
sons climb to do wrong Oh! that The.
people would lash men who call themselves
Masons with the whip Of public opisisn5
either 70 quit Masonry or these ostsaeeoso
immoralities!

Going AIof.

One evening a party of old ship masters
met at social supper. After the cloth
was removed, and the wine began to cir
cuatc freely, some of the older captains
commenced spinning yarns about their ad
ventures at sea. Among the number was
Captain Suttcr, as fine man and GOOD
sailor as ever trod a deck. 1t was OBJ
served that he drank nothing but water
but when it became his turn to entertain
the company with story, he began as fol
lows:
Well, shipmates to show you why
don't and cant drink with you, so thai
you won't take my refusal as mark O.
GOODNESS or disrespect, l will give you {
chapter from the story of my early life
1t is very important chapter, too; for or
the incident l am about to relate the
whole of my subsequent manhood was
built.
was very young when first went te
sea, aud at the age of fourteen 1 consider
ed myself quite sailor. Whom l was
eighteen was shipped on board an East
Indamau for long voyage. There were
six of us on board of about the same age
and we had about the same duties to per.
form. The ship-the old Lady Dunlap
was large one, aud our crew was large
in proportion, there being ffty-two, all
told. We "boys," as We were called
messed together, aud in all other respects
were separated from the rest of the crew,
just as much as the officers were. Our
captain was a noble hearted, honorable
man, kind and generous, but yet very
strict.
Now we boys had learned, in the course
Of our travels, to drink our grog as we'll a.
any sailors. When we could get on shore
We would invariably indulge in our cups
and not unfrequently would We come of
in a state anything but sober. I said
"we," but there was one Of our number
who could not be induced to touch drop
Of anything intoxicating. His name was
John Small
Now john Small not only RETAINED en-.
tirely from drinking himself, but he used
sometimes to ask US to let the stuff alone.
He gave that job up, however; for we
made such sport Of him that he was glad
to let US alone. But eur captain had sharp
eyes, and it was not long before he began
to show Jack favors which he did not show
to US. He would often take him on shore
with him to spend the night, and such
things as that, while we were kept on
board the ship. That wasn't all. He
learned faster than we did-he was bet
ter sailor and had learned more of naviga.
ton. 1t got so at last that Jack was call
ed upon to take the deck sometimes, when
the officers. were busy and he used te
work out the reckoning at noon as regular
ly as Gid the captain. Yet Jack was in
our mess, and he was constant eyesore
We were envious Of his good fortune, al
We called it, and used to seize every op'
portuuity to tease him. But he never got
angry in return. He sometimes would
laugh at US, and at others he would so feel
ingly chide US that We would remain silent
for . while.

some money for my mother. Not for the
wealth Of tho whole world would I break
the pledge gave my mother aud my God
on that dark, cold morning. That is all,
shipmates. Let me 60 now, and you may
enjoy yourselves alone, for do not believe
that you will again urge me to drink"
As Jack thus spoke he turned toward
the door, but one Of US stopped him.
Hold, on, jack" said be, wiping his
eyes. "You shan't 60 alone. I have got
. mother, and love her as we'll a. you
love yours, and your mother shall not be
happier than mine, for I swear that she
shall never have drunken son. I'll drink
no more!'
"Give me your hand, old fellow !" ex.
claimed the rest Of us in chorus, starting
from our seats and before many minutes
we all agreed to initiate Jacks noble reso.
luton. We called for pen, ink and paper,
and made Jack draw up pledge. He
signed it first and we followed him, and
when the deed was done I know we were
far happier than we had been for years.
The wine upon the table was not touched,
and the liquor we had drank during the
forenoon was now gone in its effect.
Toward evening we returned to the ship.
There was frown upon the captains 9
brow as we came over the side, for he had
never known us to come off from q day
liberty sober. But when we all came over
the side and reported ourselves to him his
countenance lighted up. He could hardly
give credit to the evidence Of his own
senses.
"Boys," said he, "what does this
mean ?"
"Show him the paper" whispered I.
Jack had our pledge, and without speak
ing he handed it to the captain. He took
it and read it and his face changed in ex-
preston several times. At length saw a
tear start to his eyes.
"Boys," he said, as he folded up the
paper, {" let me keep this, and if you stick
to your noble resolution you shall never
want friend while live"
We let the captain keep the paper, and
when he had put it in his pocket he came
aud took us each in turn by the hand.
He was much affected and l knew that the
circumstance made him happy. From
that day our prospects frightened. Jack
Small no more had our envy; for he took
hold and taught US in navigation, and we
were proud of him. On the next voyage
we all six rated as able seamen, and receiv.
ed full wages, and we left not that noble.
hearted captain until we left to become
officers on board other ships.
Jack Small is now one of the best mas
tiers in the world, and I believe that the
rest of our party are still living, honored
and respected men. Three years ago we
all met, the whole six of US, at dinner
again, and not one Of us had broken that
pledge which we made in the hotel at Rio.
We had all stuck to the sea, and were
then commanders of good ships.
That is my story; aud now you know
why can't drink with you, as I said at
first, aud you will not take my refusal as a
mark Of disrespect or want Of good fellow
ship.

Two Thousand People Roasted to Death.

Two Thousand People Roasted to Death.
The correspondent Of the London Tele-
graph says:
Three or four miles from Douzy is heap
of blackened timbers, bricks and ashes
Here was the village of Bazielles, which
was destroyed by the Prussians 10 the fight
which preceded the capitulation of Sedan.
When the French troops had been driven
back from their position outside the viii
lage, and were pursued into its streets,
they got into the houses and fred upon
their foes from the windows and the roofs.
The Prussians could not drive them out;
nal infamy, ordered his men to set fire,
simultaneously, to every house in the viii
lage. The fire spread with almost light
ming speed in ten minutes the whole vii
lage was wrapped in sheets Of flames, and
hundreds of families-fathers, mothers and
children were roasted to death, while the
combattants, encircled with fire, died fight
ing to the last. The Germans did not es-
cape the destruction they brought upon the
uunarmed villagers; the fre' spread so
fercely and suddenly that they were them.

of them, especially those who were wound
ed, were burned in the pyre they had kin;

lage, who was himself saved only by an
accident, that out Of population Of over
5000 souls not more than third were
now living. Hundreds were burned to
death, hundreds of others were slain by
the Prussians, who, maddened at their own
desperate straits, attacked every one they
met; and hundreds of others, who sought
refuge in the cellars of their houses, per-
ished there by sufocatiou. This is not a
tale Of the dark ages I am telling you-it
is the simple story Of what took place 10 a
pretty and innocent French village on Fri.

grace and of modern civilization.
