A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.-A paper pub
lished in Missouri-the Cameron ObSerr-
er-tells this anecdote of little girl:
"A few mornings since, little Efie,'
bright-eyed, curly-headed five-year- old,
belonging to Mrs Parrish, living on
Main street, just south of Thomas &
Perry's livery-stable, took "a ge-bath'
that came near resulting fatally. There
is deep well on the place holding some
fourteen feet of water. 1t has no curb,
and water is drawn by means of rope.
Efie had been watching Mr.. Thomas
drawing water from the well in bucket,
which she called kettle. The rope
broke and the kettle went to the bottom.
This troubled the little girl, and after
wards, in peering into the well looking
for the kettle, she lost her balance, and
plunged head first into the well.
Her mother heard her scream as she
toppled over ran into the yard, and
happening, by the merest chance, to
glance into the well, saw Efie as she came
to the surface the first time. Power
less herself, she ran to the livery stable,
shouting at every step; Efie's in the
| well Efie's in the well =
"Mr. Thomas was at the well in no
time, and, without moments thought
as to how he was to get out, plunged in,
bracing himself as best he could against
the smooth walls as he went down, and
reached the water in time to meet Efie
'on the way up the second time, and of
course rescued her, As soon as the lit
tie one could get water enough out and
breath enough to speak, she said to Mr..
Thomas, Jack, have found your kettle,
it was clear down to the bottom, and,
sure enough she had the rope tightly
clinched in her little fingers.
1--WE hardly know which most to ad-
mire, the bravery of the man who risked
his life to save that of the little girl, or
the GOODNESS of the child in hunting up
the kettle, when fourteen feet under
water"

Too BAD-The following little story
is very neatly told by a Danbury paper
Friday afternoon young lady sitting
at front window, tossing in her hand
what might have been a ball of white
yarn, attracted the attention of middle
aged chap on the street, whose gallantry
prompted him to hold up his hands to
catch. The interest she displayed in
hurting it down to him was no deeper
than that he showed in catching it, al
though as several who saw the perform
ance charitably remarked, no one could
have known that the egg was bad one. y

OLD AND NEW TIMES.

When my good mother was glrl-
Say thirty years ago
Young ladies then knew how to knit
As well as how to sew.
Young ladies then could spin and weave,
Could bake and brew, and Sweep
Could sing and play could dance and paint,
And could secret keep.
Young ladies' then were beautiful
As any beauties now
Yet they could rake the new-mOwn hay,
Or milk the 'brndle cow"
Young ladies then wore bonnets, too,
And with them their own hair;
They made them from their own good straw
And pretty, too, they were.
Young ladies then wore gowns with sleeves
Which would just hold their arms;
And did not have as many yards
As acres in their farms.
Young ladies then oft fell in love,
And married, too, the men;
While men, with'wllling hearts and true,
Loved them all back again.
Young ladies nolo can knit and sew,
Or read pretty book
Can sing, and paint, and joke, and quiz,
But cannot bear to cook.
Young ladies nO,o can blithely spin
Of"street-yarn" many spool;
And weave a web of scandal, too
And dye it in the wool.
Young ladies noay can bake their hair,
Can brew their own cologne;
In borrowed plumage often shine,
While they neglect their own.
And as to secrets who would think
Fidelity pearl?
None but modest little Miss,
Perchance country girl.
Young ladies nOy wear lovely curlS,
What pity they should buy them;
And then their bonnets-heavens! they fright
The beau that ventures near them.
Fen love is changed from what it was,
Although trae love is known
'Tis wealth adds luster to the cheek,
And melts the heart of stone.
Thus time works wOndeTs-young and old
Confess his magic power;
Beauty will fade; but Virtue proves
Pure gold in mans last hour.

The St. Louis Times gives the follow
ing specimen of poetry. The writer ev-
identity meant business" and has ''gone
in on his nerve"

And with fragile reed wrote
Upon the sand

The mad waves rolled by and blotted out
The fair impression.
Frail reed Cruel wave! Treacherous sand!

But with giant hands I'll pluck
From Norways frozen shore

Into the crater of Vesuvus,
And upon the high and FURNISHED heavens

"Agnes, love thee!'
And would like to see any
Dog-goned wave wash that out.

A large roll Of unpaid bills in his
breast pocket saved the life of Florida
man from the knife of an assassin. This
is convincing argument in favor of the
maintenance of debt. Had that man
been foolish enough to pay those bills
and get receipts, which he would of
course have put away,t the assassin's knife
would have pierced his heart

A MURDER AT CHURcH.-A difficulty
lately occurred at Oakley, Ill, between
two young men, Benjamin Mussleman
and Henry Forest A few evenings af-
ter, they both CHANGED to meet at
school house where religious services
were being held, and the alteration was
renewed before they went into the meet
ing At its close and while coming out
young man named Walton, a comrade
of Forest, handed the other the knife
with which he struck at Mussleman,
who threw up his arm to avert the blow,
thereby receiving a severe cut in the
right wrist from which the weapon
glanced and struck him in the forehead.
Forest followed up the blow until he
had inflicted two stabs in Mussleman's
side, who sank down saying that "they
had killed" him, and died soon after
The two murde. ars then took the first
horses they could find and started to
make their escape. They were pursued,
however, by four of the citizens, armed
and mounted, and arrested, having in
their possession revolver, pair of brass
knuckles and the knife with which they
murdered Mussleman. Neither of them
is yet 81 years old

Town NAMEs.-Inventive genius, for
the naming of villages and towns, seems
to have been sadly lacking in New Eng
land, for wherever one goes it is almost
impossible to find place, however small,
which has not from one to dozen places
in its vicinity named after it, with very
slight variations This is the case on
almost if not quite every road running
out of Boston, and the traveller is not
little puzzled by the confusion thus Gre
ated Here is sample of railway di-
alogue, which gives some idea of the
state of affairs in that section of the
country:
"Say, conductor, what's the name of
the next station?''
"The next station is North Skunkville. -
'Then comes"
''Skunkville"
"Ah ! and then"
South Sl1unkville.
"And the next one [ suppose is
'Skunkville Centre
Certainly and then we are at
Little Skunkville."
Eyes, exactly, and then
big Skunkville."
'Um - Passenger begins to think
Skunkville and its dependencies, extend
the entire length of the road. I'm
and then we come To-
"Skunkville Forks.
"Yaas and then
"Skunkville Pump"
Good gracious! and the next station.
Upper Skunkville.
Thunder! and then comes"
Lower Skunkville, Little Nortl
Skunkville, Big South Skunkville, Skunk
vile Branch, New Skunkville, and"
. "Well, and what then?"
"Old Skunkville"
! Conductor, don't this road run thrc
). skunk graveyard ? If it DON it ough
to. "-,Souttez7a paper.

HENRY THEODORE TUCKERMAN.-By
the death of Henry T. Tuckerman, the
profession of literature in this country
loses one of its most modest and faith
full followers. Indeed, he was among the
very few who were first known among us
as devoted exclusively to that calling,
and no one will ever adorn it with more
gentleness and freedom from selfshness.
During his career, which began early, he
saw younger men sometimes pass beyond
him in general renown but nc word of
welcome to the younger corners was ever
more sincere or more encouraging than
his, so that, although of class which is
supposed to be peculiarly irritable, he
lived his tranquil and industrious life,
and died amidst the universal sorrow of
his brethren in letters.
His acquaintance with what is called,
in the best sense, elegant literature was
large, and his preference in writing was
for the essay. Yet his volume of bio
graphical sketches is full of interest, and
is most conscientiUusly prepared. The
repose that is natural to the contempla-
tive mind, fed upon the finest literature,
is felt in all his work-a repose which
no external conflict ever disturbed. He
had special fondness for Italy, which
he remembered with delight from early
years of travel. He was familiar with
Italian books, and was the friend of the
Italian circle in New York and his
| thoughtful and efficient interest in the
country was shown by his active sympa-
thy with the Italian school in this city,
whose scholars came as mourners to his
funeral.
Mr.. Tuckerman was unmarried; but
in many homes where he was a most
friendly visitor his constant courtesy and
generous appreciation of all excellence
will be always remembered. A slight
deafness made his manner peculiarly re-
tiring, but it seemed to manifest only
more faithfully the modesty and reserve
of his nature. His death was unexpect-
ed by almost all who heard of it; and
those who knew him best feel that he
gave new significance to the familiar but
significant words, scholar and gentleman.

Here is what they sing at the public
school examinations in New Orleans to
the tune of Yankee Doodle, visitors and
all joining in the chorus:
If anything on earth can make
great and glorious nation,
1t is to give the little ones
thorough education.
Chorus.-tiye times five are twenty-five,
Five times six are thirty,
Five times seven are thirty-five,
And five times eight forty.

A KIND Word For Mr.. GREELEY.-Tbe
Ashland (Oho) States and Union--demo-
cra.lc-refers to Mr. Greeley as the founder
Of the republican party, and says he, as an
honest man, ''cannot consent to be used to
cover the frauds and misrule of the admins
tration. He will join Trumbull, Schurz, Sum-
ner and Upton in the endeavor to cleanse the
republican Augean stable" This all looks
very we'll just at this time but when the
regular republican nominations are made It
will be seen that all these little private games
Of politicians will be blown higher than Glide
rows Kite.
