"Ics, sir, that is true, and |

you. I Will repair my fault; the
lesson has been severe, bnt it will
not be without it's trnits."
Montin kept his word-ho rose
early, and worked indefatisabiy
the lost stone was replaced by an
other, which was polished as il by
enchantmcnt. Faithful to his
promise, he went no more to the
tavern, and became Il model OF
StcadincSs and Industry. At the
end Of the year he had paid con-
siderable part Of bis debt. Sixteen
months passed thus, when one fine
morning in May, having flushed
his work, he placed himself at the
window ", and watched the boats
! passing and requesting on the river,
which flowed close to the walls OF
the house. Suddenly, his eye Was
attracted by something bright
| sIittcriny on the extreme edge OF
an Oil chimney. What WAS his
surprise to discover his halt:po!-
! ishcd diamond! 1t seemed as if 4
breath would precip!tatc it into
the water beneath and yet .hcre
! it had been for SO many months
suspended between heaven and
earth
! 1T this sight his emotion became
almost as great us when he had
seen it disappear out Of the win,
dow; he dared not remove his
eyes, fearing to lose sight Of the
almost recovered treasure.
1T is-it is my diamond, which
has cost me so many tears" said
he; "but bow shall ! reach it! If
! it we're to fall! But no, ! will
take every prccaution; not too
fast t:-let me consider well !"
At this moment his employer
entered the room.

1T is true it is certainly thc
diamond that has SO tormeEtcd lis;
! but the difficulty is how to get it.

do it," So saying, he left the
room, but quickly returned, bear
iny in his hand a net prepared tol
catching butterflies. With its aid
and that Of a long stick he pro
cccdcd carefully to try and get the
precious stone-Montin, hardly
daring to breathe, watching ali
his movements with the greatest

crowned with success and he cried

LUCKY At LAST,

Some years ago I knew a lapi-
Diary who gained a considerable
fortune by L great misfortune. An
excellent workman, honest as the
day, Montin had but one fault; he
was TOO fond of good wine, which
caused him to neglect his work.

the great dissatisfaction OF his
cmp!cyer, who in all other respects
valued and esteemed him highly,
both for lis skill and problty.
One day Montin received from
his master y diamond Of the finest

recommendations TO keep sober
until the work was finished.

COUNTY CLERK.-The legislature did a
sensible thing in changing the official desig-
nation of the officer here totore known as
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to that
of County Clerk, by which designation he
will hereafter be known and elected.
County Clerk" is far preferable in every
respect, as 1t more correctly designates the
office, and is much shorter and more con
venient, and the change will be highly APP
preciated by the officer, who is called upon
so many times day to write the title OF his
office Wien the law is published let all
cease to write or speak of the clerk of the
board of supervisors, as County Clerk
will be the proper term thereafter. The
law declares, however, that if the words
s'cerk of the board of supervisors shall be
used it shall not invalidate the instrument.
This clause was put in the bill to save tn,
necessity of repri tirg blanks having those
words in, but when the blanks are eXhaus-
ted no more should be printed in that man
ner,

county, for the next twelve months. 1t
was never more important to have a good
admin Stration than now, and great care
should be exercised in the choice of officers.
Many important questions are likely to
come before our supervisors the coming
year, largely involving the future welfare of
our town and county; and it is quite i'm
portant that great care be taken in the Sc
lection of those officers-in fact our very
best men should be chosen to Eli the board.
The candidates for each of the offices are
so numerous that we shall forbear mention
ing any of their names. We hope none
but good men will be elected.

the picture and the definition of every as

engine. Names of persons and places are
alphabetically arranged and their proper

prevent the spread Of the fire on Christmas
day. The new building is about the size
of the former one, will have a handsome

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LEcTUREs.-The
lecture of Rev. Mr.. Higgins on {" Human

Monday evening, was a very mastery eff
fort, and the excellent audience present
was unanimous in pronouncing 1t one OF
the best of the season.
This closes the course of lectures before
the Association for the season, and we must
say that our people have been favored dur
inc the winter with a series Of lectures of a
highly entertaining and instructive charac-
ter, far higher in standard than is usually
found in town like ours.
The splendid success of the course is due
in a great measure to the energetic chair
man of the Lecture Committee, Mr. n. w.
Goodwin, who has been untiring in hi eff
fort to secure lecturers and keep up an
interest in the matter.

Care Of Horses LEGS.

Few men who handle horses give pro-
per attention to the feet and legs. Espe-
cally Is this the case on the farms
Much time is spent of morning rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the feet
examined and properly cared for. Now.
be 1t known, that in this six thousand
years old world of ours the feet need more
care than the body. They need ten times
as much-for in one respect they are al
most the entire horse. All the grooming
that can be done won't avail anything, If
the horse is forced to stand where his feet
will be filthy. In this case the feet will
become disordered, and then the legs will
get badly out of fix, and with bad feet
bad legs there is not much else of the
horse fit for anything. Stable prisons
generally, are terribly severe on the feet
and legs of horses, and unless these build
ings can afford dry room, where horse
can walk around, lie down or roll over,
they are not half so healthy and comfort
able to the horse as the pasture, and
should be avoided by all good hostlers in
the country.

A YANKEE TRICK,

One of our peculiar sided, gaunt Yam
KEGS latel y emigrated and settled down in
the West. He was the picture of a mean
man, but as he put himself to work in ear
nest to get his house to rights, the neigh.
bors lent him hand. After he had
everything fixed to to his notion, a thought
struck him that he had no chickens, and
he was powerfully fond Of sucking raw
eggs. He was too honest to steal them
and too mean to buy them.
At last thought struck him-he could
borrow. He went to neighbor and thus
accosted him:
oval l reckon you han't got an old
hen, nothiu' yon'd lend me for few
weeks, have you neighbor z"
Il will lend you one with pleasure, "
replied the gentleman, picking out the
very finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home, and
then went to another ncighbor and Dor.
rowcd dozen of eggs. He then set the
hen, and in due course of the time she
hatched out dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen, but how was he to
return the eggs? Another idea-aud
who ever saw Yankee without one-he
would keep the hen until she had laid a
dozen of eggs.
This he did and then returned the hen
and eggs to their respective owners, re
marking as he did So
oval, [ reckon I've got as fine dozen
of chickens as you ever laid your eyes on,
and they didn't cost me cent nuther. -

Bartimeus Willard, one of the early
settlers of Egremont, Mass, was a ready
wit, keen satirist, and a natural poet.
lie was one day at Lenox during session
OF Country Court, and the lawyers there
were much diverted with his political
etfusious and sallies Of wit. One of the
lawyers said to him, 6 Come, Barty, and
take dinner with us it sha'nt cost you
anything" He consented, and ac-
companied the lawyers One said to him,
'Barty, we want you to ask blessing"
Barty, who made NJ pretension to religion,
said, "Well, if do 1 hope you will be-
have as men should on such an occasion,
and not make a mock of it and l want
some one to return thanks" One was
accordingly appointed. All stood up
around the table, and Barty began thus /:
Lord of the climes,
Haste on the times
When death makes lawyers civil:
Lord, stop their clack,
And send them back
Unto their father devil
Don't let this band
Infest our land
Nor let these liars conquer;
Oh let this club
OF Beelzebub
Insult our land no longer!
They are bad, indeed,
As the thistle weed,
Which clokes our fertile moving;
Compare them nigh
To the Hessian fly,
Which kills our wheat when growing.
Come, sudden death,
And cramp their breath,
Refine them well with birthstone
And let them there
To hell repair,
And turn the DEVILS grin'stone.
They ate but little dinner that day,
and the one appointed to return thanks
arose, turned on his heel and left.
