One Of their number, perhaps while
carefully climbing tree on the oppo.
site side from the hunters, with view
Of starting them from their lurking
place, unconsciously exposed himself
and was wounded by the hunters -
whereupon the other Indians took to
their heels and left the hunters to re.
turn in peace to the fort. For many
years after civilization had claimed
and metamorphosed these western
wilds, the Worley brothers lived not
far from Bellaire, on the Ohio river.
A numerous progeny grew up around
them, and their interest never abated
in the march Of progress and in the
surrounding improvements. Until q
few weeks previous to his death his
interest in current events continued
very lively, and his memory and
strength were remarkable. His death
was sudden but not unexpected.

between q rat and a couple of snakes
Ia copperhead and o rattlesnake four
and half feet in lengthy occurred ct
McKeesport, Ohio, last week. The
snakes. not having been fed for sew
eral days, were first presented with q
mouse, which both reptiles attacked,
killing it in thirteen minutes. A
large rat was then but into the cage.
when terrible battle ensued, both
snakes striking as rapidly as they
could; the rat also displayed consid-
erable pluck, keeping up his end Of
the fight bravely. The fight contin-
ued from 2 o'clock in the afternoon
until 8 at night, when the copper
head threw up the sponge. and was
taken out dead. To prevent the rat
tlesnake from sharing the same fate.
the rat was then removed from the
cage. The rat showed considerable
generalship in the encounter, and
every time it was bitten it would re-
tire to the corner of the cage and
bite out the piece from its body.

Dutchman was reading the advertise
ments on the new post office fence, q
professional "beat" come up to him
and said:
"Shon, If you treat TO the whisky,
I will learn you trick"
Shon agreed. BEAT" then placed
his hand against the fence and told
him to strike it as hard as he could.
Shon, not thinking that any harm
could befall him by doing SO, struck
a blacksmith's blow, but instead of
hitting beats" hand, the latter,
jerking it away, poor Shon struck the
fence-board, knocking it off.
"Mein Gott in Himmel" cried
Shon. ''Vat for you makes fool

my poor frau, vat will she say?

venge; SO one day as he was passing
through the streets, he espied man.
Going up to him, he said:
"Mynheer, shows you Won leetle

As there was no fence nor tree near,
Shon put his hand against his mouth,
and said:
"Strike yust SO hard as you can. !"
Mynheer struck, and Shon pulled
away his hand and received the blow
on his mouth, and was knocked down.
Shon jumped up, his mouth bleeding.

MARRIAGE.

Marriage Is an institution ordained
by God. A good husband supple
ments the weakness Of q woman with
his rude, rough strength. A good
wife softens the rude, rough man with
the tenderness of her own being.
Marriage is q coming into the soul,
bringing with it new duties and joys,
q revelation Of heaven and earth, and
is often positive means of salvation
to both parties. Many a young man
has been urged on in his career by the
feeble woman who stands by his side,
aiding him by her love and spirit to
rouse his energies, so that at last he is
able to reach the height of his ambi-
ton.
While we must advocate marriage,
we must not join with those who with
keenest satire ridicule the bachelor
and the maid. Can there be greater
heroism in the resolution of young
man who never dreams of home Of
his own while his old mother needs
his strong arm and aid or the maid
en- who banishes her dreams of hope
when the voice from the sick-room
calls her? No-these holiest duties,
come they to man or woman, are sa-
cred.
How is it that those who have
pledged their love at the altar, who
20 forth into life, shortly after become
so unhappy? How is it that there
are so many happy unions which soon
make desolate homes? Because they
were not married in heaven as well as
on earth, The hol;est and happiest
event that can happen on earth-the
holiest and happiest event that can
happen this side of the celestial city
is a right marriage.
Every young man and woman hopes
TO get married. 1t is an instinct I'M
parted by God; but do not let ro-
nance run away with your common
sense. That stretches younr imagina-
ton and fancy till you think you are
the most unfortunate being on earth.
Get hold of the romance that keeps
everything young, bright and beauti-
ful before you; cling to it, for this
world is awfully prosy at times, and
We require the halo of true romance
then. Marry for love.-Rer. Mfr.
Hep,corth.

This question of wOmanis demand for
representation is a question going back,
not only to the foundation of our Gov
ernment, but to the very existence of
woman as a responsible human being.
Self government is no more the right of
man than of woman, for it is a human
right. The history of our own country.
the history of the world, shows the rights
of any class are not safe in the hands OF
any other class. The rights of life. the
rights of liberty, the rights of property
of the colonists were not safe IN the
hands of the British. The rights of the
slaves or of the free men of color We're
not safe when the power of self-protec-
ton was not in their own hands.
It is simply impossible for any person
to do rs well for another person as that
person will do for himself. A woman
is more interested in the economical
management of her own property, than
any man, or set of men can be; woman
is more interested in the security of her
own life, than any man, or set of men
can be; a women is more interested in
the enactment of just laws for herself
than any husband, father, orson can be.
There is no protection quite equal to self
protection. When woman holds the
ballot in her own hands then she can
protect herself.
