A Modern Job.

A certain good-natured old Yer
mont farmer preserved his constant
good nature, let what would turn up.
One day, one of his men came in,
bringing the news that one Of his
red oxen was dead.
"Is he?" said the old man.
Well, he was always a breechy
cuss. Take his hide off, and carry it
down to Fletoher's; it will fetch the
cash.
An hour. or so afterward, the men
came back with the news that Line,
bacaa b Z and his mate were both dead.
Are they, ~" said tue cid man
"Well, took them Of B.. TO save

wound in his breast, made by the
str ngeys bullet.
"Is your friend seriously hurt?'
inquired the latter, coolly.
You, can see for yourself, sir,
the second answered.
'"There you're in error replied
the other; I am totally blind =
The wounded man, who had by
this time revived a little, and his
second, looked at the stranger in as
tonishment. There was no visible
defect in his organs of vision; but
there was fxity oflook-that "bend-
ing of the eyes on vacancy"-which
SO unmistakably evinces the absence
of sight.
Who are you? and what was
your motive in seeking this encoun-
ter p the Major family murmured.
First, are you in a condition to
renew it?" inquired the stranger.
"There is no need-I am dying"
"When I have told you who 1
am, the stranger resumed, you will
scarce require my motive for what |
have done. No wonder you have
forgotten James Morton" he con-
tinued, for he is greatly changed,
no doubt.
The dying man started, and groan-
ed bitterly.
"But 1 have never forgotten you,
Richard Budford, nor the injuries
you have lone me. A cherished
daughter, the pride of my eyes, and
the Joy Of her mothers heart, you
enticed from her home, deceived by
y sham marriage, and then abandon
ed her to die Of broken heart. My
son, and remaining child, in rash
attempt to avenge his sisters wrongs,
fell victim to your accursed' skill.
You even robbed him of the ordi-
nary chance of combat, unequal as
they would have been, by encaslng
your cowardly body in concealed ar
NOR. The loss of both our children
unsettled my wife's reason, and she
died in q mad-house. Could I have
found you then, I would have given
you no chance for your life; but val
liant as you have always professed to
be, and coward as you are, you fear
ed and evaded me. Yet I knew we
should one day meet; and I register
ed VOW, that when we did l would
offer you a sacrifice to your own in
fernal art. To this end l studied to
become an adept in it, and succeed
ed. And when, at length, blindness
cast its shadow upon me, and seem
ed to renderhopeless the fulfllment
of my vow, instead Of abandoning 1t,
1 betook myself to new species of
practice. I sought to make hearing
take the place of sight. Again l
succeeded. l learned to take aim
with ear instead of eye. When I
heard you answer ready. to-day,
knew the exact direction in which to
point my pistol, as we'll as if 1 had
seen you. Besides, I could hear you
breathing where you stood. You lost
your chance in delaying your fire.
You wished to make sure work, and

More than once the Major looked
at the speakers face f;
but in those remorselcss, sightless
eyes, there was no sympathy And
as the labored breathing grew faint
er. the old man resumed his listening
attitude. At last all was still.
{" He is dead !" he said and its
wonted expression of sober melan-
choly settled on the old mans face,
as, taking his companions arm, he
turned and walked leisurely away.

thank us for inserting among our .goo(
.hings the following little poem by Mary
Frances Tyler2
Not to the man of dollars,
Not to the man of deeds,
Not to the man of cunning,
Not to the man of creeds;
Not to the one whose passion
Is for the worlds renown,
Not in the form of fashion,
Cometh blessing down.
Not unto lands expansion,
Not to the miser's chest, ~
Not to the princely mansion,
Not to the blazoned crest;
Not to the sordid worldling,
Not to the knavish clown,
Not to the naughty tyrant,
Cometh blessing down.
Not to the folly blinded,
Not to the stepped in shame,
Not to the carnal-minded,
Not to unholy fame;
Not in neglect of duty,
Not in the monarch's crown,
Not at the smile of beauty,
Cometh blessing down.
But to the one whose spirit
Yearns for the great and good,
Unto the one whose storehouse
Yie,deth the hungry food;
Fearless of foe or frown:
Unto the kindly-hearted,
Cometh blessing down.

THE STATE SENATE has passed the joint
resolution which proposes an amendment
to the Constitution making the State Trea-
surer elective by the people, instead of by
the Legislature. The whole Constitution
sadly needs general overhauling by con-
Vention elected for the purpose, but it is
extremely doubtful if the present Legislature
will authorize the calling of such conven-
tion. 1t therefore becomes a matter of i'm
portance to secure the concurrent action of
the House of Representatives on the subject
of the State Treasurer, in order that one of
the greatest scandals in our State politics may
be done away with without further delay.

ButldiSgfor Eternity.

You think that one hour buries another;
but it is not so. You think that you have
parted forever from the things which
have passed by YOU No, you have not.
There is much of your life that you think
has gone which you never shall part from.
1t has stepped behind you and there it
waits. That which YOU have done is
with you to-day !; and that which you are
doing will be with you tomorrow. When
the mason carries up the wall, the course
of brick which he laid yesterday is the
foundation OIL, which he is laying another
course to-day. >And all that you do to-
day on the structure which you are build
ing will remain as basis for shat which
YOU do 10 morrow. The work proceeds
without intermission land all that has
been done is the structure for that
which is to be done.
Young man and maiden, take heed
how you build That which you arc do
ing, the work which you are performing
you do not leave behind you because you
forget it, 1t passes away from you APP
parently, but it docs not PASS away from
you in reality. Every stroke, every
siugle element, abides. And there is
nothing that grows SO fast as character.
There Is nothing men think SO little OF as
character, although there is nothing that
SO belongs to their immortality. and that
is SO Incompatible in importance, as
character.

WHAT LIQUOR CosTs. We learn. from.
reliable figures recently published by the
bureau of Statistics, that the annual
production of whisky 10 this country
reaches about 80. 500 900 gallons, repres-
en'ing valuation Of $375, 900, 900. OF
fermented liquors the annual product is
$500, 600 barrels, valued at size, OO0,-
QUO. Besides this domestic produce the
value OF imported liquors reaches the
sum of $3.50. 900 900. making a grand
total of 1901, 100000, or nearly one
third OF the great national debt. And this
is the wholesale price Sold by the quart
and pint, und retailed out by the g lass
over bars, at an increase often of two
hundred per cent. it is safe to say that
the expense to this country for its liquors
is not far from eighteen hundred million
dollars per aDnum. These estimates are
staggering, and yet they are probably not
far from the truth. And this enormous
amount. is for qualification 0 f an acquired
appetite. And what compromising bene-
fit do we derive from this cost. Or who
can tell the detrimental influence CT con-
sequences Of this commonly? We all

A CHEEKY PRISONER. "A Frenchman !,
prisoner in Edinburgh, having managed
to escape during the Napolconic wars.
took refuge in the powder magazine.
When the authorities wished to seize him
they found bin sitting en- barrel with
lighted match. and threatening to blow up
the town. The authorities reflected pru-

tious was that it would be better to tarye
the Frenchman out. But they. reckoned
without their prisoner, who liked goo

In consequence, ne called out that he
would bow the town to pieces if he did
not get his three meals day !; he would
write out the bill of fare. Swaney
succunbed. and the demands of the
prisoner went on increasing. Sometimes
he had serenade under his window :
then review of the garrison, afterwards
a sham fghtin which the troops represen-

ders. At last he enacted that every
Sabbath morning, before breakfast, tue
lord provost, in full uniform, should
make his appearance and read him all
address. This lasted until the allies
entered Paris.

for the night his petition Invariably was:

of his neighbors, good men. but some
times bore! by his style, thought they
would try him. They took position at
his door, and when the usual petition
was made that the Lord would send the
angel, ole Caesar being always ready they
knocked loudly at the door.
Who dar said the old darkey.
The angel Of the Lord come for old
Caesar, was the reply.
Out went the the light, and scrambling
into bed was heard, and then in tremb-
ling voice, that same old uncle said
