tervals. We had agreed to keep awake one
at atime, and when one Of US felt likely to be-
come over-powered by sleep, this one was to
awake the other Of us, if asleep at the same
time. We maneged to keep awake by this
means, and / judge if we had both happened
to fall asleep at the same time, the sleep Of
death would have settled upon US.
One day my companion wakened me with
much difficulty, and asked me to listen to a
certain noise he heard in the coal. lis
tened, and heard what we knew to be the
coal scraped by stick. This noise was
followed by faint knocks 1t appeared as
if some one was scraping off she'll of coal
that is generally found on the drifts sides
Of long standing, in order to find a solid
place to knock against. My heart bou- ded
within me then, and in high state of excite
ment, | grasped hammer and knocked with
all might in the usual way miners knock to
each other as they approach together with
two excavacations. l heard an answer
given to my knocks in the same measured
way, and | knew then we were heard, and
that all the succor would be rendered us
within the range of possibility. aEr
The knocks in answer to mine ceased for
a time, and knew from this, aid was being
sought. Within the space If an hour the
knocking was again repeated on the other
side of the pillar Of coal and as answer
ed, those who knocked shifted from place to
place, as if to find the point most directly
opposite to US, being guided by the blows I
was giving in answer AT last point seemed
to be settled on, and l heard the points Of

Muscle Against Steam.

Two young men from the country
called in at Detroit foundry, a few
days ago to get piece of casting for
some farm machinery. The en-
ployees were absent at their dinner,
with the exception of the engineer,
who was oiling up his engine for the
afternoons work. 1t was running
at low speed, and pumping water in
to the boiler. The country cousins
looked with interest at its motions
and the slow revolution of the large
fy-wheel, and fell into discussion
as to the relative power of steam and
human muscle. One of them finally
offered to bet dollar that he could
'tgrab" the huge wheel and hold it.
He stepped up to the engineer and
asked permission to try it, which
was readily granted, and taking off
his coat and rolling up his sleeves,
braced himself for the effort. Watch
ing carefully until the right stroke
came around, with a rush to en-
courage himself he clutched it. He
didn't exactly stop the wheel-in
fact, he went over it without stop
ping and was discharged in a para
bolic orbit through space, coming
down in sand heap, in the further
part of the foundry. He was picked
up a thoroughly disguised man, and
so lame that he was obliged to climb
into his wagon at the back end, quite
satisfied, however, that steam was
too much for him.

of, never believe in any priest of any
religion, for before man could be
bad enough to pretend to be priest,
he must have hardened his heart and
blinded his conscience to the most
horrible degree. Our governors i'm
prison gipsies for telling fortunes,
and yet they give fat livings to those
yagabonds who deceive the people
in much weightier things. 'Bad
company" said the thief, as he went
to the gallows between the hangman
and a priest; a very honest speech,
and very true word, though spo-
ken in jest. 1t is the ignorance of
fools which keeps the pot boiling for
priests. May God clean this land of
the plague of their presence, and
make men wise enough to see
through their crafty devices. Lastly,
my advice to all is-remember that
good wisdom is that which will turn
out to be wise in the end; seek it,
friends, and seek it at the hands of
all teachers, the Lord Jesus.

Average yearly IOr tne u years, III a.
AS shown above, the net ordinary
expenditure per capita by Grant, on
a peace standard and gold basis
being the standard and basis applied
to Buchanan-is 81 81 per capita;
which is less than the alleged an-
nual average for the twenty-four
years in the sum of 13 cents per
capita:
IA cents less per capita than the
average under Van Buren.
IL cents less per capita than the av-
erage under Polk.
80 cents less per capita than the av-
erage under Pierce.
90 cents less per capita than the ay-
erage under Buchanan.
1t should be remembered that the
much wider area of the country now
than under jackson, Van Buren, or
Buchanan, would naturally make
the expenditures proportionally
greater; and yet they are positively
less under General Grant. Let the
people take notice.

Coughs Apostrophe to Water.

The following most eloquent
"Apostrophe to Water" by Paul
Denton, a Methodist preacher, is
used by John B. Cough, in his tenn
perance lecture as argument. 1t is,
indeed, a consecutive burst of the
beautiful, thrilling and truthful
passages, such as can rarely be
found in such words:
"Look at this, We sons of earth! |!
Behold it! 1t is beverage that was
brewed by the hands of the Almighty
Himself! Not in simmering still
of smoking fires, ehoked with pois-
onous gases, and surrounded by the
stencil of sickening odors and rank
corruption, does our Father in
Heaven prepare the precious essence
of life, the pure cold water, but in
the green glade and grassy dell,
where the deer wander and the child
loves to play, there God brews it;
and down in the valley, where the
fountains murmur, and the rills
sing, and high upon the mountain
tops, where the storm clouds brood,
and the thunders crash, and far
away on the wide sea, where the
hurricane howls music and the big
waves roll the chorus sweeping the
march of God, there he brews it
that beverage ofhealth- giving water.
And everywhere it is thing of
beauty; glimmering in the summer
rain, shining in the ice germ, till the
trees all seem to be turned into liv-
ing jewels; spreading a living veil
over the setting sun, or in white
gauze around the midnight moon;
sporting in the cataracts, sleeping in
the glaciers, dancing in the hail
showers; folding its curtain softly
around the windy world, and weav-
ing the many colored iris-whose
warp is in the rain drops of earth
whose wool is in the sunbeams of
heaven; all checked over with celes-
tial flowers by the mystic hand Of
reflection, still always it is beautiful
that blessed life water. No poison
bubbles on the brink; its foam
brings no sadness or murder.

Are the changing seasons getting
hotter as they roll? 1t makes one
shudder to remember that early last
spring an alligator was caught in
the Thames, and a hippopotamus
appeared in the Seine. And now
an astronomer comes out with the
appalling intelligence that the earth
is swinging gradually nearer and
nearer to the sun; and that "planet
after planet, age by age, will creep
into the sun, and not one can es-
cape its fiery end"
The first French gun taken in the

thalers offered by merchant of
Breslau, and one hundred thalers
offered by counsellor of Posen-

ANNABEL LEE.


1t was many and many year ago.
In a kingdom by the sea,
That maiden lived, whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she loved with no other tho
Than TO love, and be loved by me.
was child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with love that was more thai
love,
and my Annabel Lee
With Above that the winged seraphs ofheaver
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
Ny beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-b born kinsman came,
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in q sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me.
Yes! that was the reason las all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea,
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the
love
Of those who were older than We,
OF many far wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing
me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but feel the bright
eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And so, all the night-tide lie down by the
side
OF my darling, my darling, my life, and my
bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea-

OUR LATTER END.

A wise and due consideration of
our latter end is neither to render
us sad, melancholy, disconsolate, or
unfit for the business and offices of
life; but to make us watchful, vigi-
liant, Industrious, sober, cheerful,
and thankful to that God who hath
been pleased thus to make us ser
viceable to him, comfortable to our
selves, and profitable to others; and
after all this, to take away the bit
terness and sting of death, through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Expenditures Under Grant and Buchanan
Compared.


The Democracy have much to say
about the enormous expenditures of
the Republican Administration Of
General Grant as compared with
Democratic Administrations.
To make out case they include
all the expenses created by the Dem
ocratic rebellion, and which should
be charged to that instead of the
Republican party.
Official figures show the truth on
this subject. To get at the expen-
ses of Grants Administration all
the items Oceasioned by the Demo-
cratic rebellion should be deducted;
the balance being fairly chargeable
to the Republican party as the cost
of the Government had not the De-
mocracy rebelled.
The following figures show the
exact state of the case:
