My card of the goth appears to have
aroused Zone of the Four" In his re-
ply Of the 22d he writes altogether un-
der the impression that l manufacture
bitters as a beUerdye-hence, concludes
that live in glass house. In this he
has fallen into quite an error, as make
none but English Female Bitters, which
are recommended and used specially for
diseases Of the female sex. True, they
contain twenty-five per cent. Of pure
spirits, but that is for the purpose Of ex-
tracing strength from medicinal sub
stances and to prevent fermentation.
As One OF the Four " is rather scant
of flesh (bones predominating), bottle
or two might arouse his capillaries, and
add few red corpuseles" to bis i'm
poyerished blood, which he very much
needs.
By making only too slight varis-
tons to his four lines of quoted poetry,
it becomes quite truthful, according to
statistical record:
A saloon, / soon give up.
For it's eyerybody's cry;
Oh do not Ia Ike she poisoned stuff.
For If yoa do, you'll surely die.
/ may add that for One of the Four "
| entertain kindly personal regard, but
as he did not desire the Office, feel that
| shall do him favor to oppose his
election. j. P. DRoMGooLE.

How TO OUR SwEARING.-A story
is told OF q citizen Of Danbury, Con-
necticut, who was broken of the
wretched habit of swearing in a
novel manner. Ho was an inveterate
grumbler and swoarcr. At every
meal he neglected blessing, and
swore at everything from the gravy
to the teapot. His oaths discolored
the napkins, sourcd tho bread and
curdled the milk. His wife, q wo-
man who evidently believed the hair
Of dog would cure the bite stood
this unseemly conduct "until for
bcarance ceased to be virtue"
One morning he was unusually
croes and profane, and was about
to take o fresh start at something
else, when his wife suddenly
broke out with series Of oaths that
made the old gentleman get up and
leave his chair as though some one
had introduced = pin between the
canes. AS soon as she ceased he
breathlessly remarked, "Well, /
swear, it is time l quit" And SO ho
did.

A Narrow Escape.

| We arc occasionally reminded by
some startling incident in the even
current OF every day life, that the
age OF heroic virtue liz not past, and
that its exercise Is not always limited
TO the sterner Sex. Heroism in men
most frequently finds developement
in the field of war, amid alarms and
death and blood, and the destruction
of human life. Woman's hero.sm is
that nobler kind which maniiests
itself by tho saving of human Life
and the alleviating OF human suffer.
ing. Of this character is the incident
We are about 10 relate. aE i
Miss Maggie Cooper is the teacher
in the North Primary room OF the
new school building on the west side
Of the riyor. The building is pro.
vided with ventilating fiues connect
ed with tho rooms by registers.
These registers are OF cast iron,
weighing about forty pounds each,
and are let into the wall about
thirteen feet from the floor. On
Monday afternoon as two little boys
were working at the blackboard
directly under the register in Miss
Cooper's room, tho lady happened TO
cast her eye in the direction of the
ceiling, and saw to her Consideration
that the heavy iron register was on.
the very point Of falling on the
heads OF the unconscious children.
Taking in the situation at a glance,
she saw that the littlo ones could not
be removed in tlmo to avoid the,
impending danger, but, determined
to save their lives at any sacrifice,
she rushed to the spot and extending
her arms above the heads Of the
little boys, received on them the
whole weight of the falling iron, and
by the utmost exercise of her strength
div ertod it from tho line OF its decent
to the floor, where it fell close by the
side OF the imperilled children.
There il not tho least doubt that, but
for this heroic action of Miss Cooper,
the lives of one or both of the boys
would have paid the penalty Of the
Careless placing of the register. Miss
Cooper did not escape without
injury. She received severe cut on
The hand, and for day or two her |
arm was SO benumbcd by the concus-
sion as to be entirely useless. We
presume the gratitude Of the parents
Of these boys 1--WE have not learned |
heir nathes) will need no prompting.
But we will say that If Miss Cooper's
Christmas is not made brighter and
bappier'by some graceful token OF
for her noble self
sacrifice, then is gratitude fled to
orutish beasts, and inhabits no moro
he hearts of men.
