Affecting Incidents.

VI. VI. .. ta . 81 y ".
THE late terrible floods at Harper's Ferry
developed much individual heroism. The
Rev. DIR. Dutton and family lived ina brick
house on Herr's Island On the Friday
night the foundation of his house began to
give way, and stepping out into the hall, he
was struck with q falling timber and fell
senseless to the floor Mrs. Dutton sig
nalledato the house Immediately opposite,
strong building, and from second story
rope was thrown to her. She tied this
around one of the servant girls, and she
was drawn yacros the street to the next
house through water fifteen feet deep. The
rope was returned, the other servant sent
over in the same manner, then the still uh-
conscious husband, and last the heroic wife
herself crossed the perilous flood after she
had seen all her household safely over.
James Shipe of Overton's Island, took
his wife, to whom he had but five months
been welded, on his back, and swan with
the flood, hoping to strike tree or some
other safe refuge After struggling for
five hundred yards he caught by the water
tank, on Halls Island, and at least ten
times heendeavored to get hold of it, but
the waves washed him away His wife en-
treated him to let her go and save himself.
"sYou are not prepared to die, my dear
husband, and / trust that [ am," were her
words. He next caught the branches of a
floating tree, on which he supported him
self for few minutes, and lifting up his
wifes head, which he had been unable to
keep above the water, he found that she
was dead

A Five Thousand Dollar Joke.

THE Zanesfeld, Ohio, Times tells the fol-
lowing: "Ata recent wedding among the
first families this city, quite a sprightly
joke was perpetrated, but Just upon whom
the weight of fellis difficult to determine
While the party were sitting around the
supper table, and before the distribution of
the viands had begun, the bride turned her
plate over and drew from under it a slip of
paper which, upon reading, she discovered
to be check for five thousand dollars, paya-
BILE to her order. Flushed with Joy, Of course
she passed it to her husband, who hastily
cast his eyes over it, and in turn passed it to
a gentleman friend at hand, who likewise
perused it, but pretending ignorance of the
object of the gift, handed it to a clergyman
in attendance, who, without a word, began
to pocket it with that hilarious motion and
flush of countenance which indicated that
it was the best fee he had ever received for
officiating at wedding. The eyes of the
three were at once fixed upon him in sur
prise and CONSERVATION The BRIDE of
course, would not speak for five thousand
dollars, and the bridegroom was entirely to
happy to utter a word and even if he felt
like it, his relations were too recently
formed to assume control of his wife's prop
erty, and the friend who had got them into
the trouble too sensibly appreciated the joke
to say word, while the clergyman-well
he didn't think of anything but going.
straight off to the bank and drawing the
money. However, before he got the check
comfortably nestled in. his vest pocket,
the friend who had passed it to him is
sued his order in the following words:
Take that check out of your pocketr
which the clergyman promptly obeyed, and
all parties were at once relieved of suspense.
The joke, however, was duly appreciated,
and by none better than the clergyman
himself"

The Adventures Of a Draft.
WASHINGTON. October 16

WASHINGTON, October 16.
THE following curious incident has,
within a few days, come to the notice of the
War Department. A Quarternaster sta
toned in New Mexico had occasion to
draw a check on the Sub-Treasury to the
order of commissary officer, in payment
for certain articles. The latter paid it out
to beef contractor, who indorsed it to
creditor who came from Texas. The last
mentioned gentleman returned to his home,
and was captured and murdered by band
of Indians belonging to two different
tribes The Indians as is customary with
them divided their spoils between the
members of the Two tribes and separated,
going in different directions The check,
supposed by them to be Of value, was di-
vided with the rest of the plumber, and
each party carried half of it. In the
course of time scouting expedition fell
in with one of the bands of Indians and
accidentally obtained half of the check,
and finding it in good preservation took
care Of it, Another party Of scouts, one
or two hundred miles away, about the same
time, captured the other band of Indians
with their half check uniniured. The two
pieces were forwarded to the same army
headquarters, there pasted together and
have been forwarded from thence to the
War Department, where the adventurous
check now awaits an owner

back from just one bend of a canal-like
river; the haystacks and ricks of the last

great fields of wheat stoodup stately around
us, the glow in their yellow brought out
by the red poppies that sheltered in the
forest of their stems; the odor of the grass

THE Missionary Herald for October no
tees the recent presentation, by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, of Boston, of
twenty of their best Cabinet Organs to the
A.. B. G. F. M, for missionary uses, and
says the money value of the donation
amounts to between $4,000 and So, 900, and

HERE is sample of the sort of tricks
that were played upon the unsophisticated
philosopher of the New York Tribune,
when he visited Kansas lately. At Law
renee he was taken in a carriage to see the
city and its Improvements. Keeping him
engaged in conversation, the irreverent
scamps of his escort drove five or six times
around a square, at each circuit passing
very fine building in course of erection At
about the fifth round, Horace broke forth,
We'll, well, Lawrence as growing rapidly

there is little monotony in the architec-

n THE incumbent of an English church
being anxious to raise funds for some re-
pairs to the church, and having but a
modest opinion of his own powers as
preacher, thought he would write his ap-
peal, get iteprinted, and have it placed in
the peWs on the following Sunday. He ac-
cordingly sent his COPY to the printers,
and told the sexton to get the bills on Sat-
urday night and place them in the pews.
On Saturday night the sexton sent his son
to the printers office, where no one but the
"devil " of the establishment was present.
This youth handed bundle of bills to the
sexton's son, by whom they were duly dis
tfibuted in the pews. The astonishment of
the congregation and the horror of the
clergyman next morning may be imagined
on finding every pew in the church CON
tanned copies of an announcement OF the
entertainment at the local Assembly Rooms
of a clever Sambo singer, and the fun dur
ing the ensuing week may be " better inn
agined than described"

Miscellaneous Reading.
GOING TO SCHOOL.

~
THROUGH the meadow grass waist high, they,wil
Along the path so narrow,
And pluck the plant spires, to bind
Some sprigs of homely yarrow
They go by brooks that softly drip
2 Among their iow'ry sedges,
Where minnows through the ripples slip:
Where focks of wrens and robins dip
.ha And drink along the edges.
4. Across the ruddy clover lots
And pastures, wide and knolly, q htt
Where sheep lie, here and there, like knots
Chance dropt, of lilies holy.
$ They drop the bars and call the cows
cot . Come, Brindle, Pink, and Cherry;''
They stroke them gently on the brows, .H
They bind with wreaths of oaken boughs
The necks, so rough and hairy. -
A sudden wind, that sweeps the dell,
A spicy scent is blowing;
The children need no more to tell
Where peppermint is growing; an
They thread the rustling rows of corn,
Whose ears are fit for roasting,
] And run a foot-race down the hill afaat
Where, in the winter evenings chill,
They always go a-coasting. H"~ @
Oh still the woodlands are, and dim,
Great trunks above them heighten;
Among the leaves, on every limb, ,..
The eyes of squirrels brightenl sf
a hum-bird through the maple whirrs- g
Near by she must be nested. 49,
A rainbow wing the branches stirs-
All, ha this downy thing is hers,
With snowy eggs invested.
They skip between the orchard rows,
Where apples hang and mellow,
While sunlight streaks with rosy gloWs,
Or stripes them with its yellow;
Through fields of barley, set in sheaf,
III Or readyfor the reaping. "a
But, harkl the school bell ringeth brief,
And, o'er the beech's topmost leaf,
y They see the belfry peeping.
