LOST CHILD.-From a correspondent in
the neighborhood we learn that little girl,
aged about three years, daughter of Mr. j.
Whittle, residing near the Baptist Church,
in the neighborhood of Cooptown in this
county, on Sunday afternoon last left the
Sunday School at that church, at about 4
O'Clock, p. NJ, and being missed when the
school was closed, search was made and it
could no where be discovered By daylight
on Monday morning the whole neighborhood
was aroused, and every one joined in the
search, which was continued during the whole
of that day, and not until near shutdown were
traces ofthe little wanderer found-its tracks
in the water that runs between Mr. G. w.
Morse's mill and dwelling house being then
discovered. These were followed up and at
length the search was rewarded by finding
the child asleep in dense thicket of weeds
and bushes, it having travelled about a mile
and half through marsh to reach that spot.
When aroused the child did not seem to be
at all frightened asked for its mother and
said it had seen big snake. 1t was at once
restored to its parents, amid the reioicings
of their sympathzing neighbors.

FALLING IN LovE.-The man who likes
chatty women finds his doom in a girl who
never opens his lips; the cynic who hates
bread and butter trambles before miss in
her teens; the prim young neophyte of the
parsonage worships the noises of Dianas No
doubt there is method in all this madness and
philosopher yet to come will rescue this bit
of outlying existence from the realm of ca
price; but, as yet nobody has brought love
within the calculation of chances 1t is lust
as impossible as it was in the days of our fore
fathers to predict whom we shall fall in love
with. 1t is still as difficult as it ever was to
decide who is likely to fall in love with US.
The onl y result which comes of meditation
on the subject is u sort Of conviction that I'M
der certain perfectly mex plicable condition, it
is possible for anybody to fall in love with
anybody else.

The MasOn,s Grave.

In all ages the bodies of the Masonic dead
have been laid in graves dug due east and
west, with their faces toward the east This
practice has been borrowed and adopted by
others until 1t has become nearly universal
1t implies that when tho great day comes, and
He who is deaths conqueror, shall give the
signal, his inefahe light shall first be seen in
the east he will make glorious approach ;
will stand at the eastern margin of those
graves; and with His mighty power-that
grasp irresistibly strong which shall prevail
will raise tho bodies which are slumbering
therein. We shall have been long buried.
long decayed Friends, relatives, yea, our
nearest and dearest friends, will cease to re-
member where they have laid us. The broad
earth will have undergone wonderous chan
ges. mountains leveled, valleys filed. The
seasons will then have chased earth over in
many ftful round. Oceans, dashed into fury
by the gales of to day, will to morrow have
sunk, spoiled child to their slumber Broad
trees, with broader roots, will have lnterlock-
ed them, hard and knobbed as they are, above
our ashes, as if to conceal the fact of our hav-
ing lived; and after centuries they too will
have toppled down to join their remains to
ours thus obliterating the poor testimony that
man has ever lain here. So shall we be lost
to humane sight. But the eye of God new
ertheess will mark the spot, green with the
everlasting verdure Of faith, and when the
trumpet blast shalt shake the hills to THEN
bases our astonished bodies will rise, impelled
upward by an irresistible impulse, and We
shall stand face to face with our redeemer.

the divorce. She PIE ded with him for per
mission to see her little Lucius, their only
child, but he refused it.. She remained three
months, endeavoring to see her child but in
vain. The unfeeing wretch was unmoved
by her opportunities, but he must quiet them,
for they were likely to lead to unpleasant dis
closures. So, quite in keeping with his true
character, he made two Infamous propositions,
one Of which was that if she would N..ss. =
cret his raseality, and would raise him $4,000,
he would give her the custody of the child
This she indignantly refused He then said
that if she would raise him ST. 500 he would
get from the clerk of the court the original
record of the divorce, and thus obliterate all
record Of its existence. This likewise met
with an indignant rejection.
She then came to California for aid, and
again returning to New York, moved the
Court to act aside the decree, on the ground
OF fraudulent service Of summons In his
defence he made no denial of the facts here
set forth, except in two unimportant points,
one OF which was that he kissed her on her
departing, and the other was the first of the
propositions above mentioned. The Court
readily granted the prayer of tho afflicted

him to perambulate Montgomery street in
faultless attire at the present day. His "shin

one of our principal streets.
And this is the person who has been dis
owned by his own son. It is needless to state
that his wife applied for and received de-

after tie revision of the first decree. She
has since married again, and is living happily

A WORD FOR WIvEs-Little wives! if
ever half suppressed sigh finds place with
you, or half unloving word escapes you to the
husband you love, let your heart go back to the
tender word in those FIRST love days.; remem-
Der how you loved him then, how tenderIy
ne wooed you, how timidly you responded;
and if you can feel you have not grown un
worthy, trust him for the same good love now
If you feel that you have become less lovable
and attractive than you were, then-by all
that you love on earth or hope for in heaven
turn back, and be the pattern Of lovelness
that won him; be the dear one" your at
fractions made you then. Be the gentle, low
ing, winning maiden still and doubt not the
lover you admired will live forever in your
husband. Nestle by his side. cling to his
;ove, let his confidence in you never fail and
my word for it the husband will be dearer
than the love was. Above all things do not
forget the love he gave you first.

From the Sioux City Journal, Nov. Al
An Exciting Scene Rather Graphically De-
Scrihed.

Scribed.
From gentleman just arrived from Sioux
Falls City We learn the following particulars
of an exciting affair which occurred at that
place few nights SINCE The prairie had
been burning in the neighborhood all the af-
ternoon and towards evening the country on
the DAKOTA side of the river was seen to be
ablaze, and the winds from the westward watt
ed dense cloud Of smoke ard ashes toward
the city. AS night drew on the lurid flames
Illuminated the streets, casting crimson light
upon the windows of the buildings md caus
ing wierd expression to overspread the
countenances of the citizens who were congre
gated upon the street corners watching the
leaplng flames as they writhed and twisted
like souls ID purgatory, on the opposite side
Of the river
All Was still, and no sound was to be heard
save the occasional cracking of the tall bunch
grass as it struggled and fought with the fiery
serpents that attacked its stems The citi
zens gazed with awe upon the grandest of the
Western sights, and though gathered togeth-
Ell IN little knots and groups near each other.
the sablniity and grandeur Of the immense
panorama overpowered all Speech and all
stood silent and motionless, watching the ap
pr, aching fires Strange and exciting cries
are heard from those who have remained the
last upon the streets, and the cry of Buffalo.
the buffalo are crossing the river was echoed
by many mouths. Men hurried out of their
| houses. Women appeared in their doorways
and windows in their night garments. Rifle
barrels cleaned and shone with q crimson
lustre in the light Of the fires. which were
now laying their serpent tongues in the wa
ters Of the river edge
Suddenly huge body rushes past the
| frightened women, and demon incarnate
dashes upon the street; then another, and
still another; then the place resounds with
clicking hooss and sea of moving hair and
glistening horns fills the streets aud sidewalk.
Crash crash crash The rifles resound up
en- the streets. Crash! crash and heavy bod
les sink to rise no more. A moment of hor
ror and bewilderment, aud then the town is
quiet, the streets empty, and the thunder of
| recedlng boots comes almost inaudiby to the
ears Of the citizens, who now cautiously sally
forth. In the streets and cutters dark, shay
gy misses are dimly to be seen by the light
of the now dying fires. They struggle and
| vainly rise to their feet, but soon sink back
and beat their huge heads against the hard
roadway, and as the crimson life stream pours
from mouth and nostril roll their eyes in the
death agony. By the morning light naught
is to be seen but the cory pools which yet:lay
| like miniature lakes upon the streets

CURE FOR SrYEs-Put teaspoonful of
soda in a small bag, pour on it just enough
boiling water to moisten it, then put it on the
oye pretty warm. Keep it on all night, and
in the morning the stye will most likely be
gone; if not, second application is sure to
remove it. We have also heard that the white
of an egg, applied to the cyelid with feath-
er just before retiring, soon effects a cure.
Styes arise from the impurity of the blood,
