THANK GOD FOR SUNDAY.

Now God be thanked. That He has giveI
Blest boon to saint and sinner
A day of rest--one day in seven,
Where toll is not thu winner;
Rest for the tired and jaded brain,
The wearied hand, on Sunday,
That they might gather strength again
For toll renewed on Monday.
The merchant in his counting-room,
The clerk Ger desk and ledger,
The artisan, at forge or loom,
The ditcher and the hedger--
The laborer who tolls and slave
From early dawn of Monday
Until the week sinks in its grave,
All cry, Thank God for Sunday
The day that lifts the weighty chain
Which all the week hath bound us;
That respite gives to heart and brain,
From thousand cares around US;
That in the toilsome march of life
Thus bids us take for one day,
Rest from the battle and the Strife;
Oh. God be thanked for Sunday!
If thus by all one day Of rest
Be hailed as respite solely,
How to the Christian doubly blest
Must be the Sabbath holy;
As, in faith light he lifts his eyes
To that bright world, where, one day,
He longs to spend beyond the skies,
One blest, eternal Sunday!

WHERE IS YoUR Boy AT N1oHT?-The
practice of allowing boys to spend their eve
nings in the streets is one of the most ruin
Gus, dangerous and mischievous things pos
sible. Nothing SO speedily and surely marks
their course downward. They acquire un-
der the cover of night, an unhealthy state Of
the mind, vulgar and profane language, OBJ
scene practices, criminal sentiments, and a
lawless, riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in
the streets, after night-fall, that boys gener-
ally acquire the education and the capacity
of becoming rowdy, dissolute men, Parents
do you believe it? Will you keep your
children home at nights, and see their home
is made pleasant and profitable?

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Very few of
the sudden deaths which are said to arise
from ''disease'of the heart" do really arise
from that cause. 70 ascertain the real origin
Of sudden deaths, experiments have been
tried in Europe, and reported to scientific
Congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty-six cases
of sudden death were made the subject of a
thorough post mortem examination; in these
cases only two were found who had died
from disease of the heart Nine out of the
sixty-six had died from apoplexy, while there
were forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs
that is, the lungs were so full of blood
they could not work, there not being room
enough for sufficient quantity of air to enter
to support life. The causes that produce con-
gestion of the lungs are-cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting still chilled,
after being warmed with labor or rapid
walk, going too suddenly from close, heat
ed room into the cold air. especially after
speaking, and sudden depressing news opera
ting on the blood The causes of sudden
death being known, an avoidance of them
may serve TO lengthen many valuable lives,
which would otherwise be lost under the ver-
dict of ''heart complaint" The disease is
supposed to be inevitable and incurable; hence
many may not take the pains they would to
avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power

NUMBER 13.
Witchcraft Revived.
[From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. |

tiioui INC l1llWuuhle NlScpGoln. !
Until yesterday we had believed that
wtchcratt and denlonism were among the
things of the past Then the delusion was
dispelled by the appearance of an entire fam
lily of Secondwarders who insisted upon be-
ing locked up to save themselves from the
direful influences of hexenmeister, or mas
ter of witches, residing in their neighborhood
The father, Heinrich Alvers, stated to tho
police that he occupies wing of house $50,
Winnebago street, where demonstrations of
an unusual character had kept the family in
a state of great excitement for the past four
days, and that the noises were so unearthly
that his wife and children had not been able
to sleep for two nights.
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Alvers was warned by the mysterious
voice Of an invisible presence, that unless he
locked up the members of his family he
would be murdered by one of the number
during the night. He Immediately sum
moned the family to the sitting room and in
formed them of the mysterious message Af-
ter prayerful and fearful council, the family
voted to forsake their home and seek an asy-
lum where the hexenmeister could exercise
no undue influence over them, or cause them
to commit the awful crime of parricide, which
they considered certain if they remained at
home. Accordingly the house was deserted,
the family taking up its march to the police
station, to claim the protection Of the author
tiles. On learning the cause of their sorrow
and tribulation, the officers attempted to per-
suade them to return assuring them that they
would receive protection, but all in vain.
/ They begged pteousy to be locked up be-
yond the power of the hexenmeister.
The family, consisting of two sons and
two daughters, ranging between twelve and
nineteen years of age, were fairly wild with
grief when the officers marched the old man
to the cel-room, it having become evident
that he was slightly demented.. They were
finally prevailed upon to leave him to the
care of the authorities, but could not be pre-
vailed upon to return home until two mem
bers of the force were detailed to escort them
to the house, with orders to stop with them
during the night, for the purpose of discov-
ering the cause of the old man's S trouble.

The Buffalo Country.

After passing Topeka there is same
ness in the appearance OF the towns
along the line of the Kansas Pacific Rail
way They have hardly yet ceiyed the
first impulse of growth out of that first
condition of railroad stations which is
the chrysalis of all praire settlements
Wamego is the sight of large and hand
some railroad buildings Manhattan has
the Agricultural College in embryo !;
Ogden is a German settlement; Abilene
is the depot for Eastern shipments of
Mexican and Texan cattle Solomon City
is the place where a colony of Scots
/ have purchased Al, 900 acres of land !;
Bavaria is the location of an Ohio colony.
! Indeed, most of the stations indicate "a
speedy development and growth, and
many of them have taken good start
But about this point the road enters
upon what is known as the buffalo
country The yellowish brown grass
which clings so closely a. the ground
and exhibits hardly a siHt"of vegetable
life, has for centuries pastured enormous
heards of buffalo, and is capable of sup
porting and fattening domestic cattle as
well. Here we begin to pass what at
first sight appears to be footpaths, cross
ing the track at right angles, or rather
appearing on each side of the track, and
invariably pointing, in slightly waving
lines, directly North and South. As far
as can be seen on the level prairie, those
deeply worn paths strike out sometimes
close together in nearly parallel lines,
and again separated by a considerable
distance. These are the buffalo trails,
the mark of their yearly migration,
along which the herd follows its leaders
as it goes North in the Summer and
South in Autumn. The prairie is really
a dead level, and on the long, low reaches
of rolling ground in the distance, or
nearer, though miles away, III the hol-
lows between the swales, we constantly
come upon detached groops from the
great herd, feeding Mere dots upon
the yellow landscape do these cattle of
the plains appear, and whether they raise
their shaggy heads to note the passage
of the snorting train We cannot see. Our
member of the Cabinet and our artist
scent blood, and descending from the
train at IA station where a fresh and CORY
butfalo's head adons the platform. they
mount the pilot engine, rifles in hand
and pockets bulg1ng with cartridges. A
party of enthusiastic sportsmen takes
possession of the caboose, and from that
car and the locomotive, through all the
day came reports of rifles, cracking away
: with sights elevated for any distance
from one mile to five No innocent
blood was shed. A slight curve in the
road at one time brought us upon two
old bulls, unfortunates, driven from the
/, herd by their younger rivals, browsing
in melancholy meditation about forty
rods from the track The pilot train wa,
stopped. The representatives. of govern
: ment and art, as well as those of honest
industry leveled their pieces in danger
GUS haste over each others shoulders
Crack crack crack and so ON for tn,
I space of three consecutive minutes. Tn,
! huge beasts turned one glance towarC
the fre-spitting apparition, and thei
their tails. We bought buffalo meat a
the next station.
