A person who farms for living, some

him little son. After figuring around
for an hour or two, doing worldly business
he pulled up in front of grocery in the

refresh himself, leaving the boy to take
care of the horses The man met some
companions indoors, with whom he set
about becoming convivial, as is the custom
Of those who congregate in suburban gro

wagon became numbed with the cold and
fell into stupor. The lines dropped from
his fingers, and the horses walked off
When it was time to dispense from the
grocery, the excellant father and feeling

Wants to Back Out-A LeapY earStory

A St. Joseph (Missouri) paper of the
Sd gives the following leap year story:
There was nice little party on Wed
nesday night at the residence of one OF
the most respectable families in South ST
Joseph, and while the festivities were
progressing, two charming young ladies,
sisters, took pair of young men by the
arm, remarking that it was leap year,
they proposed to insist on their preroea-
tives. and desired at once to be married.
A squire was called for and one was
shortly found in the company, in the
person of our worthy eonservator of the
peace, Gus Saltzman. When this official
presented himself ready for the delicate
business. one of the couples forthwith
backed out. but the other stood their
ground, and the Squire proceeded with
the ceremony asking the high contract
ing parties several times during its pro,
gress, whether they are really in earnest,
to which question they gave each time
an affirmative reply. They we're there
upon pronounced man and wife.
After the party commenced to break
up to go home. the impromptu groom
claimed his bride in all earnestness, and
insisted on taking her home with him.
but she demurred, and tried to treat the
whole matter as joke, but as the young
lady is of full age, and the marriage ap-
peared to be bona tfde to all the witnesses

NOVEL READING.-The habit of novel
reading is much like the habit of eating
sweat meats or drinking strong drinks or
any other dissipation. 1t is mental dis
sipation and therefore the worst kind; the
reader of fiction and the light trashy lit
erature Of the day, exhibits one phase of
of life of pleasure His reading is an in
fatuation, and is pursued only for pleas
ere 1t brings him no peace, is productive
of nosvirtue, abounds In no excellenciesis,
devoid of wisdom, has little common
sense, and IL as useless as it is dissipating.
Such life is a shallow pool Of small cir
cumf.rence, with a sandy shore and sli
my bottom; they aim at no good and pro
duce none. Keep them out of the fam
lily, out of the library. out of the mind.

A Dream V erifed.

The Jamestown (Tenn. Journal, in de-
failing the death of brakeman named
Garfield on railroad at Union, says
'He was to have been married to young
lady of that town in about two months.
On the 10th inst, when the train passed
jamestown on its way west, the young
lady saw him, and had some conversation
with him, and that evening was in I'M
usually light spirits. The next morning
at the breakfast table her appearance was
so much theareve:se Of the evening pre-
vieus, that it attracted the attention of
her mother, who asked her the cause of
her apparent trouble. The young lady
thereuponsrelated to her mother that she
had dreamed that: her lover had fallen
under the cars and had been so seriously
injured that he had died in about two
hours She told.he circumstances as she
had seen In her dream, how he had fall
en- Under the car wheels, lad terribly
crushed and mangIed his left leg and his
left arm, and that he had lived in great
agony for about two hours Her story
was generally discredited by her mother,
who endeavored to persuade her that
there was nothing in dream, but to no
purpose-she could not drive it from her
mind. About noon sister of the young
man who had met so terrible death
came 10 the house of the young lady and
said she had bad news for her. She then
related the circumstances of her brothers
death, corresponding in detail with the
dream told by the young lady some hours
before.
