ApvICE.-A young man in winchester
wants us to tell him what to do for a live
lihood. We reply: Go to work! work
at anything you have a fancy for, but be
sure to have a fancy for work. Remein-
Der that it is the man who makes the oc-
cupation honorable, and not the occupa-
ton the man. And don't wait for some
thing to turn up" as poor old Wilkins
Macawber did. Go to work in earnest at
some trade. and stick to it. remembering
that it is not accident which helps a man
in the world. but purpose and persistent
industry. These make Il man sharp to
discern opportunities and turn them TO
account. Learn u trade by all means, for
it will place you Independent of the world
in money matters. Don't imagine it Will
keep YOU from gettint an education. In
quire of those who have kept Il l%og-book
of the young men born in Winchester and
Franklin county, and you will learn that
those who were born Ito fortune and to
fame unknown have succeeded in the
world much better than those whose pa
rents were well-to-do. Carefully employ
those fragments of time called "odd mo-
ments.' If you think to succeed in lite
YOU may at once give up the hope OF being
asocial fellow. and popular with the mas
scs. They will call you ''stuck up" and
mistake your industry for scltishncss, but
the day will surely come when they will
do you tardy justice. You can find OPP
portunitics for self Improvement while
working at your trade. BE Il sworn enemy
to idleness, and remember that it Is terri
bic to be pinched and hampered by your
own ignorance. Overcome obstacles by
graphing them at once. Make money
enough to be independent. but do not con-
slider it essential to success. Tho power OF
money is. on the whole, over-cstimated'
The greatest things which have been done
for the world have not been accomplished
by rich men, and so per cent. ofour great
men were of humble parentaSe. Necessity
forced them to action, and we do bless God
for necessity. Riches are ottcner an I'M
pediment and u misfortune than a help
The possessor, having nothing to do, be-
comes wearied rs to what to do. Riches
may help you into society" but there
can be no credit in belonging to society
which estccms you tor your money. Give
us the society Of those who count the
qualities of mind, manner and heart rs

Crime and It's Punishment.

A somewhat complicated and certainly
very strange case OF theft. repentance
and just punishment is Just reported
from the interior of New York State. A
respectable girl, the daughter Of far
mer. went into the service of a family III
neighboring village to her home rs a
servant Her employer was small mer-
chant, but man of supposed honesty
and integrity. One day while working
III the bedroom Of her employer, a roll
Of bills fell from the pocket Of his coat,
which the girl picked up, and being, as
she afterwards said, tempted by the
devil, appropriated the money to her
own use. On examination of her prize
she found it to consist of SOS in differ
ent sized bills. Although suspected of
the theft it could not be proved against
her, and SO one day the girl started for a
neighboring town to spend some or all
of her money.
On making her purchases, and offer
ing the stolen bills in payment, they
were found counterfeits, and she was
advised to destroy them. She then Wis
tied three or more other stores, and with
the same result. At last she went to the
bank, and had the bills examined, but
again was told they We're counterfeit.
She then started to walk to her home,
which she reached after several hours of
travel. A person who had heard of the
theft, and saw the girl produce the roll
of bills, informed her employer of her
doings in the town, and on her arrival
she was threatened with arrest, but as
her parents stated that Ill turn they
would cause the employers arrest for
having counterfeit money III his posses
sion the affair was allowed to rest The
next evening" while in attendance at n
Methodist revival the girl rushed up at
the altar and claiming to have found re-
ligiOn, told the story of the theft her at
tempt to pass the bills nd their being
found to be counterfeit. and also gave
her employers name, She then fell to
the ground in fit, and being carried to
an adjoining house, was soon pronounc-
ed to have severe attack of brain fever
The excitement on the news that the
highly respectable Mr.. was IL holder
of such a large sum of counterfeit money,
was intense, and the next day in session
the Selcctmen agreed to look into the
matter lis has been postponed from
time to time, and no regular examina-
tion has been had In the meantime.
the girl only recovered from the attack
of brain fever to be found to be entirely
blind and confirmed lunatic. The EN-
ployer finds it hard work to make change
for his customers, as all bills passing
through his hands are suspected, and So
the matter rests for the present.

Buried Alive in n Well.

correspondent of the Plattsburg
Mo. Register some days ago told this
remarkable story, which happened in
Grundy County a Mr.. John An
drews, popular and well to-do farmer
in the neighborhood, had dug u well
some forty feet deep, when it was dis
covered that the wall was about to cave
in. Mr.. Andrews gathered mp an arm
full of short boards and went down. a
pole ladder, fastened to the side of the
well, to lay them across the wall. 50 as to
prevent the dirt as it fell from filling up
that part of the well walled up. He had
not more than reached the bottom, as it
was throught, before the well caved in,
filling up to few feet of the top
The alarm was given, and the neighbors
gathered. but all believing him dead
they returned to their homes to make
arrangements to come the next day and
dig him out
Mrs. Andrews and two grown
daughters and several smaller children
refused to leave the spot, and sat on Il
log near the well, crving, until late in
the evening, when all at once they saw
Mr.. Andrews emerging from the well,
covered with clayE and coming toward
them. The children all ran, screaming,
to the house, bolted the doors and fast
ened the windows, believing it to be
their fathers ghost. But Mrs An
drews ran to meet him. screaming at the
top of her voice, oh, John Oh john
Is that you ? Is that YOU 2 When she
reached him she fell fainting at his feet.
" 1t seems that when he got to the
bottom OF the well he looked up and saw
the top giving way, and believing he
had not time to make his escape, he slip
ped under the boards which he had laid
across the well, when the whole thing
fell in upon him. All hopes at first,
gave way, and he was about to let him.
self drop into the water below and end
at once his miserable feelings. But,
feeling above, he found the clay crum
bled, and hope revived. The pole lad
der, it seems, was still standing, and
taking old of it with one hand, he with
the other scratched away for dear life,
the dirt falling into the water below as
he dragged his body slowly upwards. 1t
seems he did not suffer much in breath
ing, rs fresh air came down the pole,
around which the dirt was loosely pc cked.
In the incredible short time of seven
hours he scratched a hole some forty
feet long. through which he made his
escape This is one of the narrowest
hair-breadth escapes from a horrible
death on record.

Snflerings of the Wounded French.

The Cassel correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes
The other day, had most horrible
sight of human suffering. About 1,50O
prisoners arrived at II might, on their
way from Frankfort to Stet.in, in open
railway trucks, no other carriages being
available When the train started from
Frankfort in the morning the thermome-
tor was above freezing point, but in the
course of the day such sudden change
set in that in the evening the glass mark
ed many degrees below it. They were
scantily clothed, some Of them without
great coats, which they had sold, buying
tobacco with the money others had
thin cotton stockings and wooden shoes;
others again had nothing at all on their
feet Lying in the same open trucks
which conveyed them from Epernay, ex-
posed to the intense cold, they were in
many instances frozen to the boards in
their own filth. One of them at least
some people speak of more-was frozen
to death. They were in a most terrible
and pitiable plight, and the groaning Of
some of the poor sufferers was fearful.
After their arrival they were distributed
in the waiting rooms of the station and
in the barracks, where they received res
toratives in the shape of coffee, soup,
and meat Warm clothes and blankets
were also given to many of them, and
they continued their journey after a
stoppage of fifteen hours, with the ex-
ception Of about twenty, who were sent
to the Lazaretter. When l saw them
there they had first to be bathed. They
were literally swarming with verlnin.
Some of them, being Mobiles, were mere
boys Of sixteen, and again men above
fifty others had served in the line, and
all of them were suffering from exhaus-
ton or pulmonary affection.

Treatment of Frozen Flesh.

Keep the surface of the frozen part at
or near the freezing point-32o Fahren-
heit-until it is thawed ont by the heat
from within the body. Remember this,
frozen flesh should be thawed from trithsa
not from without The reason is this ;
If the melting commences by the action
of the warm arterial blood, at the deep
est part the frozen blood, us soon us
melted is carried away by the veins with
out ruptrlring the delicate network of
capillary vessels which form the connect
ing link between the arteries and veins
If, instead. the thawing commences upon
the surface, the blood, us it becomes Ii
quilted, will remain upon the outside OF
the frozen part, as the vessels which
should convey it away are still frozen up
This blood soon changes its color, ex-
pands with the heat, and causes intense
pain, and is liable to burst the little ca
pillary vessels which contain it. The best
way to keep the surface of the frozen
part at the desired temperature. is to
keep It in water in which there Is con-
siderable quantity of ice or snow until it
becomes entirely thawed out from with
in. Frozen flesh should, on no account,
be rubbed. The frozen part is filed
with minute vessels, running in every
direction, each one of which contains an
icicle. Now if the part is rubbed, the
effect is to break these minute icicles
into thousands of pieces, and each piece
has its sharp corners, which are forced
through the walls of the vessels, tearing
them to pieces. and lacerating the flesh,
SO as always to cause great soreness, and
oftentimes disorganizatlon and death of
the part. While rubbing the frozen part
itself should be carefully guarded
against, it is useful to rub the adjoining
parts, as it greatly promotes the circula-
ton of the blood, and hastens the thaw-
ing in the natural way
