A LIVELY TIMEPIECE.-A clock
pedler was tramping along, hot,
dusty and tired, when he came to
a meeting house wherein sundry
friends were engaged in silent de.
votion. The peripatetic trades
man thought he would walk in
and rest himself. He took a seat
upon a bench, doffed his hat, and
placed his clocks on the floor.
There was a painful stiffness in
the meeting house, which was
broken by one of the clocks,
which commenced striking furi
ously. The pedler was in agony,
but he hoped every minute the
clock would stop. Instead of that
it struck four hundred and thirty
times, by the actual count of every
friend in tie meeting; for even
the best disciplined of them couldn't
help numbering the strokes. Then
up rose one of the elder friends, at
the end of the four hundred and
thirtieth stroke, and said:-" "Friend,
as il, is very late, perhaps thee had
better proceed on thy journey. OF
thee will not reach thy destination,
unless thee is as energetic as thy
vehement timepiece."

Getting Married Under
Difficulties.

The Galena Gazette las a good
story of a young couple who got
married lately under difficulties
sufficient to appal ordinary NOR.
tails. Mr.. Albert Blake, in the
employ of John Mack, on the
Wishon place, in the town of
Elizabeth, was to be married to
Miss Jane Low of the same town.
Last Wednesday was the appoin-
ted time, and Rev Joseph Crum-
mer, of Scales Mound, was to
officiate. On the day in question
the couple started in a buggy for
Scales Mound. Not being ac-
quainted with the road they took
the wrong route, which brought
them to Council Hill Station.
When they arrived at the station,
the freight train which was just
starting out frightened the horse,
and he whirled suddenly around,
throwing the young couple out.
They landed together in a ditch
with the buggy on top of them.
The horse then started up, drag
ging the buggy over them, and
kicking it into splinters. Some
parties who stood near by caught
the horse and secured him, while
others picked up the unfortunate
couple, and found them in a sadly
demoralized condition. Mr..
Blake's face was little SCARED,
and cash cut in his lip. One
of Miss Lows wrists was sprained
and leg was broken above the
knee. She was taken to James
Hotel, and DIR. E. d. Kittoe, of
Galena, was Immediately sum-
moned, who pronounced the young
lady's injGries quite severe, and
advised her to make for home
But the couple had started out to
be married, and be married they
would. Nothing else than bro
ken necks would deter them
AT cordi 'gly, VIM Passmore, Esq,
was sent for, and the knot was
tied, the would-be bride ly-
ing on the bed and the expectant
bridegroom standing at the bed
side. Thus they were pronounced
man and wife, and the young
husband bore his wounded treas
ure to her future home. Those
who witnessed all the incidents
of the affair, expressed the most
profound admiration for the lady's
fortitude. While evidently suf-
fering intense pain from her in
juries, with a smile upon her
face, she spoke of the novelty of
the affair and remarked that she
would be well in few days.
Here is a treasure worth securing,
even though at a greater cost than
tipping over and being bruised.

A MINTED JoKE.-In the year
1910, the Danes advanced with a
large force upon Hamburg; but
after siege of considerable dura-
ton, seeing little hope of ultimate
success, they finally withdrew and
marched back. Thereupon the
Hamturgers caused a medal to be
struck in commemoration of the
event. On one side of this numis-

Prussian Spies.

The French papers are filled
with wonderful accounts of the
mysterious agencies which either
are or are supposed to be set at
work by the Prussians upon
French soil. According TO the
Rsfrie, "agents and money were
sent to Africa, and q vessel was
also despatched laden with arms
intended to be distributed to any
OF Tie natives who seemed willing
10 ight the French. For a short
time these agents assumed the
character of priests (mara6outs)
and preached a holy war;" The
same paper contains the following
statement, of which it guarantees
the accuracy:
sSome days ago Marshal Baze-
me had gathered together at his
dinner table at Metz the members
OF bis family, of whom several
are in the army. They were
served by servant of remarkable
good appearance and manner; SO
good, indeed, that the Marshals
wife was struck with it, and ex-
pressed her astonishment on leav.
ing ibe table. The Marshal at
first laughed at his wife's remarks,
assuring her that the servant was
not a grand seigneur in disguise,
but q cdlet de chambre. Never.
theless, as a woman is always
cleverer than the cleverest man,
the Marshars wife insisted SO
strongly that the handsome look
ing servant was arrested. He
turned out to be q Prussian Of
ficer.'

THE TwIL1GHT HouR.

Come here to the window, darling,
For the long bright day is done,
The sun sunk under the hill-tops,
And twilight is just begun;
Now lay your head ON my shoulder,
There, so, in the dear old way!
And we will CLEAN rest and comfort,
From the "blindman's holiday"
Just see how the green is creeping
All over the hills and see
How tender the buds are bursting
To life ON the lilac tree,
And forth from the dry vine-tendrils,
That close to the window cling;
See, how all nature is waking.
To life, at the call of spring!
l know the thoughts you are thinking
Don't dry the tears let them fall }
They can ease the heart Of its aching;
AS the warm spring airs recall
The buds from the earth's cold bosom,
/ know you are thinking now,
Of him you gave to His keeping,
Down under December snow.
know 1t is hard, my darling,
With spring upon all the hills,
When spring time flowers are blooming
On the grave that our lost one fills,
To know never spring can awaken
Our treasure to life again
To long with heart-sick longing,
And know it is all in vain
The twilight is faded, darling
The reign of the night began;
See in the blue of the heavens,
The stars gather, one by one.
Now all the glad earth is following,
At last into slumber deep,
In child like trust that the heavens,
A watch all the night will keep.
Just so we will trust, my darling,
In our Fathers love and power;
And take to our hearts the lesson
We've found in this twilight hour.

sheep stealing, and the following
fact respecting the dog came out,
and was authenticated by evi-

man meant to steal some sheep,
he did not do it himself, but de.
tached the dog to perform the bu-
siness. With this end in view,
under pretense of looking at the
sheep with intent to purchase, be
went through the flock with the
dog at his feet to whom he Sc
cretly gave signal so as to LET
him know the individuals he wan
ted, to the number of twenty out
pf some hundreds; he would then
60 away, and at the distance of
several miles send back the dog
by himself, in the night time
The dog would single out the
sheep previously pointed out tc
him, and drive them home before
him to his master.

"that is just what l heard, and
my object in going with Charley
was the same as yours was in
taking Artie of"
"We are a couple of pretty
fools to be eloping in this way (;
but here we are at home again"
Saying this, the doctor helped
his wife out of the buggy, and
then went into the house. One
glance at the empty rooms con-
vinced them Artie was gore, they
could easily guess where. So
they made up their minds to
make the best of it, and wait for
the runaways to come home.
And the next morning, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Charley Bavey came

"How ? when =? where-?"

was too good to tell, and fiat was
all they ever could get out of
them.

the fluctuation in its value denote

A Diamond in the Rough.

In New York, the London Of
America, there are thousands of
children, of both sexes, shut out
from the free schools, and forced
10 pick up a scanty support in the
streets, selling newspapers, black
ing shoes, peddling tootb.picks, at
tending apple-stands, running of
errands, and, l will add, stealing
whatever they can put their hands
on unobserved. Drunken par
ents often compel their children
to steal, and punish them with
merciless cruelty if they come
home empty-handed. The ranks
of crime are kept constantly filled
from the troops of tatterdemalions
which throng this great metropo-
lis, "for the destruction of the
poor is their poverty" Now and
then we find diamonds in these
dusty-heaps of humanity. Per-
nit TO state two instances to
illustrate my meaning. A little
ragamuffin, ten years of age, came
to his wretched home one evening,
with a wound on his face from
which the blood was streaming
over cheek and chin.
"What is the matter with you ?"
inquired the angry and drunken
father.
ga boy struck me-" replied the
lad.
"What did he strike you for ?"
81 don't like to tell you, father"
"Then take that" said the IA
ther, striking his gon on the face
with his heavy hand. "and that
and that" repeating the cruel
blows until the blue flesh swelled
about the boys eyes, and the blood
poured from his mouth and nos
trils.
so dear! O dear! o don't, fa-
ther! Twill tell you all about it!"
screamed the little sufferer.
"Well, tell me quick"
"He struck me in a fight l had
with him. He was with a lot OF
boys, and he told them that yon
was drunken bloat and | licked
him, and | will lick him again
it he says so when / meet him-I
will do it, if you kill me for it,"
said the lad, sobbing as though his
heart would break.
Now this little fellow touched
his father in soft spot. The
courage and the affection of the
child were marked features of his
character, although he had a rough,
and perhaps not a commendable
way of showing those traits but
reform followed, and the lad, who
had thus far received only side
walk education, was sent to a COM
mon school, where he shone con-
'spicuously, ,and was known through
out the, neighborhood as "the
rough diamond"
The other case is that of a poor,
barefooted newsboy, who was
cared for at the lodging house for
homeless boys. l will make a
long story short by simply stating
the fact that he is now one of the
leading business men in the city of
San Francisco.

The Richmond Wing discovers
a strong disposition on the part of
the negroes of the South to with.
draw from the carpet-baggers and
set up for themselves; that is, in.
stead of yielding the offices to the
former they are claiming them for
themselves. In South Carolina
all the Radical candidates for Con-
gress are negroes. In Florida
they have nominated a negro for
Congress in place of the sitting
member, that State being entitled
to but one representative in the
House. Out of five Radical NOM
nations thus far made for Congress
in the South, four are OF black
men. If this thing should be
carried much farther those i'm
