FUNNY--One of the funniest things
connected with the small pox excitement
which has come to our notice, was the
reception of "a letter by ourselves yester-
day from subscriber to the Lowell
Weekly journal, from Bristol, N. H.,
who desired the paper discontinued until
the disease should abate. as his wife was
afraid the children would catch thesmall
pox from it. If possible to communicate
with him we would like to suggest that
perhaps the whole family might catch
vaccination from the printed rules of the
Board of Health. We do know how to
acknowledge the receipt of the money
sent us by our subscriber. We would
telegraph it, were we not afraid the chill
dren might catch the disease by climbing
the telegraph poles LoaosH Courier.

The FIRST OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM.
The first occasion on which we hear of
an organized system of credit is when
Joseph mortgaged the cattle, lands, and
even the persons of all the Egyptian
people, in order to pay for the corn he
supplied them from the state graneries.
The end of the seven years famine found
the Egyptians not only paupers, but
bondsmen. sowing Pharaoh's corn on
Pharaoh's land, and compelled to pay
for the privilege of doing it twenty per
cent. Of the crop to Pharaoh's treasury
for ever without equity of redemption.
The Egyptians had had no previous ex-
perience of Jews. Excepting Abraham,
quiet, inofiensive old patriarch, who
came to Egypt because he was hungry
and he got Pharaoh into trou ble-they
had never even seen jew before. 1t is
therefore highly probable that remem-
brance of Joseph's fiscal policy whilst
chancellor of their exchequer, contribu-
ted in no small degree to the severity
with which they afterwards ground down
and oppressed the children of Israel.
But the fact especially noticeable about
the introduction of credit is this bank
ruptcy and credit came in together; Jo-
seph left Egypt nation of bankrupts
And ever since that time, bound togeth-
er by an indissoluble bond of union
bonds, in fact, of bills aud promissory-
notes. those Siamese twins, Bankrupt
cy and Credit, have gone on thriving to-
gether, and will go on to thrive, until
one of the twins gets his death-bow, it
matters not which; then the other will
die a natural death Cham

The LINE STORM" HuMBUG.-
Among the popular superstitions is one
that we are to nave heavy storm about
the time of the vernal and autumnal
equinoxes. When a storm does come at
that time it is noted, but when it is drop
ped from the programme no one thinks of
the omission, and SO the notion contin-
ues to prevail. A gentleman of this city
who has kept record of the weather,
the temperature and the force aud dlrec-
tion of the wind for many years, has
taken the pains to look back for the five
days preceding and five days following
the 2lst of each month as far bacS as
1912, thirty years, and be finds that
there have been no more violent storms
during that part of March and Septem-
Der IN all those years than there have
been in any other months. One of the
most violent storms occurred in August,
aud the storms in the winter monlhs
have averaged u great deal more violent
than those which have come at or near
the equinox. In such matter as this
a record is much more to be depended
on than ones memory or general i'm.
pressions. r Ne,cburgport Heratd

A gentleman who had taken a Boston
horse-car, for the Worcester depot, en-.
numbered with manifold bags and par
GELS, reached the bell-rope with an effort
when be wished to get off, ami gave 4.
vigorous pull, the result of which was
a sharp ring from both bells. "What
are you ringing both ends for?" was the
discourteous and surly inquiry of the
conductor. Because | wish the car to
stop at both ends was the quiet reply,
that left convul ed carload and dis

A REPTILIAN PARapIsE.-The editor
OF an Iowa paper recently visited, with
others, a gypsum quarry owned by Mr..
Cummis of Fort Dodge, la. About 25
men were employed, who through the
spring and fall of each year have to face
danger and inconvenience from myriads
of snakes. The sun was just warming up
the northern slope when the party arriv-
ed, and this is his description of what
followed From out of the crevces the
snakes we're crawling in all directions,
and "swash," "swash," went the huge
clubs of the two men who were defend
ing their fellow-workmeD and every blow
was the death of snake. Just at our
feet crawed deadly moccasin, while to
the right and left spotted adders and
chasers squirmed and hissed as they
twined among the stones or escaped up
the bluff Directly in front of us lay
pile of dead serpents as large as two
bushel basket, while on the face Of the
,loping bluff were probably 800 reptiles
which had escaped the clubs of the men,
and were Fastening away To the prairie,
their elevated heads aud wrilhiug bodies
transforming the bluff into no mythical
Gorgon head. Just above us In ledge
of rocks, was huge adder, and Mr.. Cum
Minis picking up a piece OF rock heaved
1t on him, piuuiug him to the ledge, but
the snake was game; some three feet OF
his body was free, and gathering himself
up would leap full at us with all his force
kissing aud opening his jaws in way
that made the blood run cold, and the
next leap he made, blow from our cane
sent his head spinnnga score OF feet and
the bleeding trunk dropped to the earth
below. The snakes are said to retire in
to their dens about p. NJ. every day, af-
Ger which all is quiet until the suns rays
again reach the quarry, when the same
thing is repeated. Two hundred aud
seventy-fve snakes were killed that day,
the number for two weeks footing up
5000, while it is supposed that ten times
that number escaped. On the l4th of
October the snakes commence to return
and enter their dens for the win er, when
the same slaughter is repeated

HIS steps were uncertain, and his eyes
were CLASSY. took his arm within mine
to lead him to his garret. a doctor was
sent for. saw that the medicines he
ordered were suitably prepared, and then
| returned to the invalid. l had not
been in the garrett for a long time, and |
was not aware how many things were
wanting there. The chimney smoked,
the windows closed badly, the brick floor
was without mat or carpet, and the sun
shone on the bed, for want of curtains.
| did what | could to remedy these incon-
venlences. A stove was placed in the
chimney, an old carpet was brought for
the floor, and curtains for the windows.
Mr.. Baptist returned thanks for every
new arrangement for his comfort. He
made no complaint, and manifested no
impatience. He scrupulously observed
the directions of the doctor, and seemed
to treat his disease as he did everything
else, with scrupulous polireness, as if un-
willing to dismiss it without the observ.
ance of due fUrmaites.
This illness gave rise to serious refec-
tions in my mind. | reproached myself
for my negligence concerning the state OF
the garret. While we are adding to our
own comforts every day, we leave our
domestics exposed to thousand incon-
veniences. We lodge them in garrets,
furnished with refuse articles, and take
no thought concerning their convenience
or their tastes. For the mass of labor
ers, life is doubtless harder than it is for
them. But domestes have always under
their eyes the comforts and luxuI les in
which their masters indulge, and from
which they are excluded. They are thus
constantly reminded of their own disin-
herited condition. And even of this
they cannot be sure; they are liable any
day to be dismissed. They live ct, rnal-
ly like transient guests at tavern, with
nothing about them that they can call
their owns only they are always serving
instead of being served. Yet we CON-
plain that they are Indifferent to econo.
my in households in whose prosperity
they have no share!
| had never thought of these things as
| did by the bedside of Mr.. Baptist. He
remained feeble for some weeks. But
toward the close of March, when | went
up to see him, | found him dressed and
desirous to 90 down stairs. | led him
down, and installed him in an easy chair
in my study, to which the sunshine gave
a ch ertul aspect, and where he could see
the passers-by. | placed some books be-
fore hin, and my bird organ t ling him
he mi ght amuse himself as he liked. by
giving NY bird music lessons. He look
ed at me as if be were deeply touched by
these friendly attentions.
When | asked him if there was any,
thing else he wished for, he replied,
Nothing, nothing; only beg of you,
sir, hencefurth to call me only Baptist,
without the Mr."
Wherefore do you wish that ?" | ask
ed.
Because there is a change in the re-
lation between you and me, sir"
This expressive avowal affected me. l
pressed the hand of the old domestic,
and thanked him.
