The rain and mud Of the last month
VIC think has clearly demonstrated the
necessity of grading and Mc4Admizing
Market street. from Main to Second
and Second street from Market to
Court. Il is shame and disgrace to
our city to talk Of delaying this much
needed Improvement any longer. Say

venience IL would be 10 the occupants
of stores on these streets, il would pay
back To the owners Of property nd
jaceat in accrued rents, in two wears vt

the sidewalks are in atcrrihle condition
and viii not be any better, until i grade
is made, and curb set SO that they can
be brought 10 an even surface. Let US
have this improvement by all means.
Il may be urged that the city has not
the ready cash TO 10 the work, but that
is no use; il is just as easy for them
to grade Market and Second, without
ready money. as il WAS 10 grade Main
and Green streets. Let ne have the
grade.

The LAKE CUTTERS. Governments
are unlike individuals in one particular
at least-if they want to buy anything
they pay big price for it but if they
want to sell, somebody else makes the
bargain. This is particularly illustrated
in the case Of Uncle Sam and his lake
revenue cutters. A few years ago Uncle
Sam wanted six Of these and they were
built at an expense of about two hundred
thousand dollars each. They looked
fine and sailed well, but they were thrown
together Of green timber and odds and
ends, and to- day while two have been con-
demned, the others are declared rotten
and SO really uaseaworthy that it is
doubtful if they list the season out. The
same boats built for individuals would
have been to-day comparatively as good
as new. Nov they will be sold and nc
doubt at less figures than their engines,
superb affairs, are actually worth, and
iron boats must be built to take their
places.

Flower and Fruit.

How lovely" said Amelia Jane

AS on they wandered down the lane
"The fruit trees in full blooming!
"How sad that they should fade so soon,
And shed their petals snowy;
Would they might last through May and June
They're so uncommon showy!"
"Amelia Jane" her love replied,
"The notions foolish-very!
We should not get, did blooms abide,
Our apple, pear, or cherry.
"Aud so about their swift decline
L am not a regretter,
For though the blossom may be fine,
guess the plums are better"

ANXIOUS TO BE HANGED is an
old man named jeremiah Collins, in
prison at Albany, under sentence of death
for the murder of his wife. Unlike most
culprits similarly situated, he insists on
the execution of his sentence. He insists
upon it that his wife deserved to be
killed, and at the same time seems to
think that he ought to be hanged. He
objects to any Communication of his SEN
tence, and expresses dissatisfaction with
Gov. Hoffman for postponing lis execu-
ton few weeks. He was originally
sentenced to be hanged on the 18th of
May, but he Governor respited him to
the 18th of July. When he was SEN
fenced he requested the Judge to make
| the time as short as possible.

A Faithful Fellow.

heard story that exceeds anything
of the kind I have ever known, says a
correspondent writing from New York.
By the way, did you ever hear Of Martel,
the Creole hair-dresser, who once -four
ished in New York? Well, he had
great reputation among the aristocracy
and was consulted by the first ladies,
not only in regard to couture, but to
dress. No bride was considered ready
for the alter until Martel had pronounced
sentence upon her appearance. When
he fell sick, and was dying, these fair
patrons would alight from their carriages
to enquire in person for his health, and
when permitted, would enter his sick
room and nurse him. But this is the
remarkable story: During the Santo Do
mingo revolution some years ago, a
slave, named Toussaint escaped from
that island with his mistress, and went
to France. From France they came to
New York, arriving here in a most i'm
poverished condition. Toussaint found
after considerable search, two very cheap
and poor rooms, in which he installed
his mistress and child, and for the frs
few days he begged for their support
Then he made arrangements to go from
house to house on certain hours in tht
capacity Of barber to gentlemen. AS HI
made his way in his art, he opened /;
barber shop, which soon became one Of
first-class resort. AS he fourished il
business the condition OF the woman ant
child improved in proportion. The lat
ter, girl, was well educated, and bein;
possessed of great beauty and winning
ways married very wealthy man of til
name of Kouger. After time the moth
er died. Toussaint, who had little faitl
in anything American, invested his earn
ings in France, and he too soon afte
died. Before dying, however, he willie
his fortune ITO the daughter of his be
loved mistress. A few years later Nj
Kouger failed in business and died
leaving his wife and children pennies
except for the Toussaint legacy. Tn
bereaved family parted with their HON
l and household idols in New York an
removed to little New England village
where they now reside, supported b
the interest of $4,000, which they regr
larly receive in gold from France.

BE ECoNoMICAL.-Loo most to your
spending. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out, yon will always be poor
The art is not in making money, but in
keeping it; little expenses, like mice in
barn, when they are many, make great
waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald ;
straw by straw, the thatch goes off the
cottage and drop by drop, the rain
comes in the chamber. A barrel is soon
empty, if the tap leaks but a drop min
ute. When you begin to save begin
with your mouth, many thieves pass
down the red lane. The ale jug is a
great waste, in all other things keep
within compass. Never stretch your legs
farther than the blankets will reach, OF
you will soon be cold. In clothes, choose
suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
fneries. To be warm is the main thing
never mind the looks. A fool may make
money, but it needs wise man to spend
it. Remember it is easier to build two
chimneys than to keep one going. L
you give all to back and board, there i.
nothing left for the savings bank. Fare
hard and work hard while you are young
and you will have chance to rest whe1
you are old.
