COurd,at.
A man named Speight, calling himself
the Lord Jesus Christ" about ten
months ago came to Southngton from
Baltimore, having wife and two child
rem in the latter place, and persuaded
two females to go with him, they believ-
ing him to De the being he represented.
He made great deal OF disturbance in
that and adjacent towns, and finally was
forced TO leave to escape the virtuous in
dignation OF the people. A day or two
since he returned, and on Monday eve
ming committee waited upon him, and
taking him in a semidenuded state to the
center of the town, treated him to ride
on rail, and were about, to apply a
coat of tar and feathers, when he begged
SO hard that he was released on promise
that he would leave town. He was then
escorted TO his team, into which he pack
ed himself and female chattels, and left
amid the jibes, jeers and groans OF the
assembled people. One of his misguided
women has since started off alter him,
bag and baggage. The widest excite
ment exists in the town, as the villagers
fear the scamp intends to make another
raid on their domestic peace.
On Thursday evening last, man
without clothing, except shirt and rem

skunk under his arm, applied tor admis-

admit him, and the man lett as was sup

bedroom window aud endsavored to get
in, but was attacked by dog. He
threw the skunk at the dog TO divert his
attention, and then got in at the window.
When found some time after he confessed

Boil it Down.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty, or grave. or gay,
COndense as much as ever you can,
And say 1t in the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs,
Or particular things in town,
Just take word OF friendly advice
.. Boil it down
For if you go splutterng over page
When couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread SO much, you sec,
That the bread looks plainly through.
So when you have story TO tell,
And would like little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend,
Boil it down
When writing an article for the Press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts In the fewest words,
And let them be crisp and dry;
And when it Is finished, and yoa suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil it down
The editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For couple of yards of song;
So gather your wits in the smallest space
If you'd win the authors crown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down

Select Poetry.
Thoughts Of the New Year.


The following verses by Campbell are beau.
fully appropriate for the first Of the year;
The more we live, more, brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages
A day 20 cliilGhood seems year
And yesrs like passing ages
The gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along It's grassy borders.
But as the care-worn check grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker
When joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we reach the Falls of Death,
Feel we its tide more rapidf
IL may be strange-yct who would change
Times course 10 slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
lndemnifying iieetness
And those of Youth a seeming Lengh,
PropOrtionate to their sweetness.

n HANDSOME SoUL.-One day last
winter little boy who was taking his
first lesson in the art of sliding down hill
found Ills feet in rather 100 close contact
to lady's silk dress Mortified and
confused, he sprang from bis sled, and
commenced an apology.
Il beg your pardon, ma'am, I'm very
sorry"
"Never mind that" exclaimed the lady,
"there is no great harm done, and you
feel worse about it than do"
"But your dress is ruined. I thought
you would be angry with me for being 50
careless"
"Oh no." she replied, "better TO have
soiied dress than ruffled temper"
"Isn't that a beauty," exclaimed the
lad as the lady passed on.
''It you call her a beauty, You sfau't
choose for me. Why, she is more than
thirty years old, and her face is wrinkled."
81 don't care if her face is wrinkled,"
replied the hero, "her soul is handsome"
A shout of laughter followed, from
which be was glad to escape. Relating
the incident to his mother, he remarked
"Mother, that lady did me good. Ishall
never forget il, and when ann tempted
to indulge in my passions, will think OF
what she said "I3etter to have soiF

The sunny SIDE.-Everybody should
live on the sunny side of their house as
much as possible and allow the suns
genial rays 10 penetrate the rooms.
Darkened parlors are fashionable evils.
True, it is gloomy enough to be ushered
into tomb-like apartment, where one
can scarcely grope his way to a seat, and
to discover when he is accustomed to
the dim light, that every chair and sofa
has its linen "duster," apparently equip
ped for travelling to some unknown land.
But ladies must have their carpets kept
bright and fresh, even if their cheeks are
palcr for it. And SO the shutters are
kept tightly closed and the heavy cur.
tains down. But for the sake of health
and beauty, ladies, let this be done only
to the 'best parlor," if it must be done
at all. Let the rooms where the family
lives be cheerful and sunny. No lady
would expect house plants TO send out
their brilliant blossoms unless che placed
them at the window where the sunshine
would invigorate them. Mo- more should
she expect her children to show fresh,
rosy compilations, and develop genial
dispositions unless they live in light
sunny and airy room.

Somebody's BAR OF Iron" DAYTON
Ohio, has got street railway, and the
reporter of one of the papers there re-
lates the following, incidental thereto ;
A farmer from Perry township, who
doesn't read the papers, and had never
seen OF beard of street railway, when
on his way to the city, for the first time
in three months, discovered portion of
one of the iron rails of the street railway
where the snow had melted and disclos-
ed it to plain view, at the western ter
minus, and he straightway alighted from
his wagon, and endeavored 10 secure it.
Somebody's lost this bar of iron p ex-
claimed the farmer as he took hold of it ;
sand the derned things froze mighty
fast, too - His efforts were futile, for
he couldn't bulge the bar. Just then, a
man came along and informed the vener-
able fossil that it was railway, and
reached from that point to the extreme
east end OF Dayton, and that he'd better
let il lay there And be "druy" on.

RELATIVE TO MARRIAGE-There is
much truth in the remarks of an old wri.
ter, that we can rarely guess how any
mans life and character will turn out an
til we know what kind of n wife he will
fiud. The most promising character may
fail entirely to realize the expectations
inspired by it in youth, and the tairest
prospects OF prosperity may he defeated
by an injudicious marriage and on the
contrary, there is hope OF almost any
man, however faulty his character, if he
happen to marry a prudent, patient, af-
tectionate wife.
We speak not theoretically, but from
what we have seen and known, when we
maintain there is silent, though
often unseen and unrecognized power, in
the iudicious and devoted wiie's influence
before which none but the sternest. most
stubborn natures can stand. 1t may be
that many years shall pass before tha,
influence accompllshes its object, but AT
last it will prevail. The rash and reck
less character will at length yield TO the
prudent, careful, patient example of the
wife habits of dissipation, and intem-
perance even, will often be ashamed and
humbled by the long-sutfpring, forgiving,
enduring love of the wronged and injured
partner And it there is II being on earth
worthy of una,lOyed JOY, it is she who,
after long years of disappointment and
deferred hope, Of ANXIOUS waiting and
patient endurance, at length sees her hus

her in the way of life and peace.
