Never Tempt a Man.

The late celebrated John Trumbull,
when boy, resided with his father, Gov.
Trumbull, at his res sidenoe in Lebanon,
Connecticut in the neighborhood of the
Mohegans. The government of this tribe
was hereditary in the family of the cele-
brated Uncas. Among the heirs of the
chieftainship was an Indian named Zach
ary, who though brave man and excellent
hunter, was as drunken and worthless an
Indian as could be found. BY the death of
entitled to the royal power. In this moment
the better genius of Zachary assumed
sway, and he reflected seriously. GLOW
can such a wretch as | am aspire to the
chief of such noble tribe? How shall
the shades of my glorious ancestors look
down indignant upon such successor?
Can succeed to the great Uncas ?--Aye--
| WILL DRINK NO MORE p And he solemnly
resolved that henceforth he would drink
nothing stronger than water! and he kept
his resolution.
Zachary succeeded to the rule of his
tribe. 1t was usual for the Governor to

also to attend, and on his way was to stop
and dine with the Governor. John, the
Governors son, was but boy, and ON one
of these occasions, at the festive board oc-

bulls own words:
"0ne day the mischievous thought struck
me to try the sincerity Of the old mans
temperance. The family was seated at
dinner, and there was excellent home
brewed ale on the table. / thus addressed
the old chief: Zachary, this beer is very
fine; will you not taste it ?'' The old man
dropped his knife, and leaned forward with
a stern intensity of expression, and his fer.

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, The Home Reserve force of lnsur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
MIA Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company S
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most Of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material! Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten yearsP Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
haveP 1t is well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail

A Photographers Revenge.

DR.. II Vogel, writing from Germany to
the Philadelphia Photographer; relates u
queer case. A photographer made pictures
oftwo brothers, who refused to take or pay
for them on the ground that they were not
lillenesses. The artist complained, but the
judge was of the same opinion as the broth
ers, and decided that the pictures were not
lEenesses. Mr.. Photographer then went
home with his rejected pictures, and placed
them in his show-window, with the label:
"MurdeIers of Mrs. X" The brothers then
waited on the artist, and alleged that it
was libel to expose their pictures with
such title, and, on his refusal to remove
the placard, they entered suit. Itremains
to be seen how the judge will decide in this
new phase of the affair

Oueer Mistakes.

There are in Dorchester says cores
pondent, twin brothers, whose resem-
blance to each other are so strong that
strangers can hardly tell them apart. They
keep grocery and provision store and
were one day bringing in bags of meal from
a wagon, which was out of sight from in
side the store. Nathan had his coat on,
but Eli was in his shirt sleeves. A stranger
in the shop watched them coming in and
going out one after the other, but only one
was visible at u time, and at last he ex-
claimed to Eli, Well, you're the smartest
man ever saw, but why do you keep put
ting on and taking off yonr coat ?" These
brothers and several other men were in the
habit of getting up very early and going
to swim in the "resevoir pond" and
once Eli going, rs was his wont, Ia
Nathan's house so call him, by tapping on
the pane, saw his own face reflected from
the glass, and taking it for his brother,

"A Slngnlar Suit.

A divorce suit OF most extraordinary
character is now on trial in the Circuit
Court of st. Louis. The plaintiff, VIM.
Fowble, is farm hand, residing some
twelve or fifteen miles from the city. He
alleges that early on the morning of April
sth, while comfortably snoozing in his bed,
two men aroused him, and by threats Of
death compelled him to accompany them
to the house of neighbor half mile dis
tant, and on arriving there made him stand
up and be married to lady for whom he
had no inclination. Notwithstanding his
protestations and ertreaties he says the
ceremony was performed by regular Or
dained preacher and as soon as the dread
full affair was concluded, he fled from the
house and from the blushing bride, and has
not since seen her.

A Widowers Caution.

A woman, while being borne to the place
of interment, was aroused to her conscious
ness by the jostling of her coffin against
the wall of a house, as the bearers turned
the corner. She was speedily released from
her cerements and conveyed home, where
she lived several years longer She fell again
into decline and died, the funeral again
took place, and the procession set out for the
grave; as it drew near the house on the
corner, the husband wiped his eyes hastily,
and cried out to the bearers, "Be careful
as you turn the corner"

With delight the devil heard of the sue
cess of the faithful emissary, and sent her
word, if she would meet him at the end of
the lane at certain time he would pay her
the shoes. AT the appointed time she re-
paired to the spot and found the devil at
the place. lie put the shoes ON pole, and,
standing on the Opposite side of the fence,
handed them over TO her. She was much
pleased with them--they were exactly the
article.
" But there is one thing, Mr.. Devil, ]
would like to have explained, that is, why
you handed them to me on a stickP''
Every easy to explain" replied he.
"Any one who has the cunning and mean
ness to do as you have done don't get nearer
than twenty feet of me-" So saying he fled
in terror
After awhile the old woman died, and
when she applied for admission to the lower
regions the devil would not let her in for
fear she might dethrone him, as she was so
much his superior. SO the old woman is
yet condemned to wander over the world,
creating quarrels and strife inpeaceful fam
lilies and neighborhoods.
Would you know her name?

the young Scandals were left orphans, but

S U N D AY BEADING.
The Two Forts.

A worthy man of Paris town,
Came to the bishop there;
His face, o'erclouded with dismay,
Betrayed fixed despair.
" "Fathcr," said he, ga sinner vile
Am ] , against my will;
Each hour humbly pray for faith,
But am doubter still.
Sure, were not despised Of God,
He would not leave me so,
To struggle thus, in constant strife,
Against the deadly foes
The bishop to his sorrowing son
Thus spoke kind relief;
"The king of France has castles twain;
To each he sends chief.
"There's Montelhe.y, far inland,
That stands in place secure;
While La Rochelle, upon the coast,
Doth seiges oft endure.
"Now, for these castles-both preserved
First in his princes love
Shall Montelhery's chiefbc placed,
Or La Rochcll's above 70
"Oh, doubtless sire, ;" the sinner cried,
That king will love the most
The man whose task was hard, to keep
His castle on the coast !"
SON." said the bishop, "thou art right;
Apply this reasoning well

And thine is La Rochelle"

General Putnam.

During the war in Canada, between the
French and English, when General Amherst
was marching.across the country to Canada
the army coming to one of the lakes which
they were obliged to pass, found the French
had an armed vessel of twelve guns upon
it. The General was in great distress, his
boats were no match for her, and she alone
was capable Of sinking his whole army, in
the situation in which it was placed.
While he was pondering on what should
be done, General Putnam came to him, and
said:
General that ship must be taken Z"
aye" says Amherst, 81 would give
tho world if she was taken"
81 IL take her." says Put nam.
Amherst smiled and asked how
" Give me some wedges, beetle Ga
large wooden hammer ON malet, used for
driving wedges), and a few men of my
own choice"
Amherst could not conceive how an
armed vessel was to he taken by -four or
five men, beetle, and wedges.
However, he granted Putnam's request.
When night came, Putnam, with his
materials and men, stole quietly in boat
under the vessels stern, and, in an instant,
drove in the wedges behind the rudder, in
the little cavity between the rudder aud
ship, and left her.
In the morning, the sails were seen
fluttering about she was adrift in the
middle of the lake, and being presently
blown ashore, was easily taken.
