A Very Remarkable Rat.

We often hear stories related OF the
wonderful cunning and knowledge of the
rat, but one is tOld-says the Ogdensburg
On. " JOurndl-of recent occurrence
in which real old gray rat was the hero,
and the incident whereof took place in
that city, which is equal to the best. A
lady who has number of fine hens, to
which she has devoted good deal of care
and attention during the winter, in hopes
to obtain an early and fair crop Of fresh
eggs, was surprised at the meager result
actually reached. The hens made noise,
in singing and cackling, enough for every
day layers, and yet only occasionally did
she get an egg. The lady at length de-
termined to watch operations and ascer-
tain, if possible, the cause of failure. She
saw the hens 20 upon the nest, but if she
egg was found. At length, constant
watching and waiting solved the mystery.
A day or two since, while on the watch,
hen came off the nest and commenced
cackling. Almost instantly an old rat
came out of hole, and running into a
barrel which was thrown down upon its
side, and in which the hens nest was, at
once nosed the egg out upon the ground,
then laid down upon its back, and getting
the egg between its fore paws and nose
commenced squealing, when two other
rats came out, and taking the rat with the
egg by the hind legs, dragged it, egg and
all, into the hole The lady aftirms that
she can substantiate the foregoing fact by
at least three living witnesses. If any
one can tell more remarkable rat story
than this, we would like to hear it.

Christening a New Town.

The people of the thriving village Of
| Groton Junction, Mass, having outgrown
their village bounds and become town,
petitioned the Legislature Of the State, and
the village of Groton Junction became the
town Of AVER, named after DR.. j. C..
Aver, name familiar with every house
hold in the country Not long since, the
people of Aver gathered en- masse to
| celebrate the important event, and the
new town was christened amid general re-
joicing. Upon the occasion DR.. Aver was
present, as well as many distinguished
gentlemen of the State; and, when the
Doctor was introduced, he responded as
follows:

Fraud Punished.

An anecdote is related of John Eyre, a
man whose name is recorded in the an
nails of crime as possessing thirty thousand
pounds, and yet being sentenced to trans
portation for stealing eleven Guires of
writing paper, which shows In striking
manner the depravity of the human heart,
and may help to account for the meanness
of the crime Of which he stood convicted.
An uncle Of his, gentleman of consid
cradle property, made his will in favor OF
a clergyman, who was his intimate friend
and committed it unknown to the rest OF
the family, to the custody of the divine
However, not long before his death, hav
ing altered his mind with regard to the
disposal of his wealth, he made another
will, in which he left the clergyman only
five hundred pounds, and bequeathed the
bulk of his large property to his nephew
and heir-atlaw, Mr.. Eyre.
Soon after the old gentleman's death,
Mr.. Eyre, rummaging over his drawers,
found this last will, and perceiving the leg
acy of five hundred pounds in it for the
clergyman, without any hesitation or
scruple of conscience, he put it in the fire,
and took possession of the whole effects,
in consequence of his uncle being sup
posed to die intestate.
The clergyman coming to town soon
after, and inquiring into the circumstances
Of his old friends death, asked If he had
made will before he died.
On being answered by Mr.. Eyre in the
negative, the clergyman very coolly put
his hand in his pocket, and pulled out the
former will, which had been committed to
his care, in which Mr.. Eyre had bequeathed
the whole of his fortune, amounting to
several thousand pounds, excepting leg
scy Of two hundred pounds to his nephew.

Brain WOrk.

The subject of study by children being
one recently much discussed, % well Is
the general subject of brain work by pro-
fessionai men, the following paragraph
from the Herald Of Health, by the Rev.
Charles H. Brigham, gives . view OF the
case which is worth carefully consider
ing:.
tics or by health statistics, that there Is
"too much" stndy in the civilized nations |;
certainly the general intelligence Of any
people has not reached the point Of re-
dundance in knowledge. The fault IL
more in the methods and habits Of st udy
than its quantity.
Ministers are sometimes called "hard
students" and are pitied because they have
to spend so much time over their sermons
But not one minister in ten, who breaks
down prematurely, is disabled because he
has done too much or worked too hard,
but only because he has worked in the
wrong way.
The amount of study does not do the
mischief-it wearies and kills only because
it is badly adjusted. Some will study
straight on for two, four, six or eight hours,
with no relief, reading necessarily, writing
necessarily, hardly stopping for food.
Six or eight hours day are not exces-
sive in quantity, but six or eight cOnsecu-
tive hours are sure self destruction.
Few constitutions can stand That strain,
even if all the rest of the waking hours
be spent upon the playground, and solid
bar Of sleep be put between the days.
1t is never pleasant to hear student say
that he does all his work at single sit
ting" that he locks himself in his room
after breakfast, and stays there until his
late dinner, when his work is done for the
day.
If the man who does that, month after
month, and year after year, escapes organ
ic malady, and keeps his mind whole to
old age, it is clear miracle-a special
Providence.
Such statements we find in the biogra
phies of great men, but they are usually
exaggerated and misleading. Too many
consecutive hours of study are just as bad
for the strong man as for the school-boy
One man will keep brighter mind, and
more capacious and retentive, too, who
breaks away and walks in the garden at
the end of each hour, tn an one who plods
on without rest through the long day.

Five Ways to Destroy Ants.

/. PoUR, copiously, hot water, az neal
the boiling point as possible, down theil
burrows, and over their hills, and repeat
the operation several times.
q Entrap the ants by means of narrow
sheets Of stiff paper, or strips of board
covered with some sweet, sticky substance
The ants are attracted by the sweets, and
sticking fast, can be destroyed a. often a.
q sufficient number are entTapped.
5. Lay fresh bones around their haunts
They will leave everything else to attack
these, and when thus accumulated, can be
dipped into hot water.
4. Pour two or three spoonfuls Of coal
oil into their holes, and they viii abandon
the nest.
8. Bury few slices Of onions in their
nests, and they will abandon them.
