Chilling q Boy In The Morning.

The Connecticut editor who wrote
the following, evidently knew what he
was talking about:
"Calling a boy up in the morning
can hardly be elassed under the head
OF 'pastimes,' especially il the boy is
fond Of ex ercise the day before. And
1t Is q little singular that the next
hardest thing to getting u boy out Of
bed is getting him into it. There is
rarely q mother who is a success at
r0using a boy. All mothers know this;
so do their boys. And yet the mother
seems to 90 at it i'm the right way.
She opens the stair door, and insinua-
tingly observes Johnny There is
no response, "JOhnnyr' Still no res
pOnse. Then there is a short, sharp,
"JOhnw followed a moment later by
long and emphatic, "JOhn Henry"
A grunt from the upper regions signi-
hes that an impression has been made,
and the mother is encouraged to add:
YOU'D hetter be getting down here
to your breakfast, young man, before
come up there and give you some =
thing you'll feel" This so startles the
young man that he Immediately goes
to sleep again. And the operation
has to be repeated several times. A
father knows nothing about the
trouble. He merely opens his mouth
as soda bottle elects its cork, and
the "JOhn Henry" that cleave5 the
air Of that stairway goes into that boy
like electricity, and pierces the deep
| est recesses Of his nature. And he
pops out Of that bed,and into his
clothes, and down stairs, with prompt
ness that is eOmmendable. IL is
rarely boy allows himself to disre-
gard the paternal summons. About
once a year is believed to be a. often
as is consistent with the rules OF
health. He saves ihis father a great
many steps by his thOughtfulness.

atLet Her DrlYe. -

Brooklyn, New York, claims the
honor Of originating q sermon from
the text, 'Let her drive" We had
a preacher who was young, tonguey
and eccentric. He was wonderfully
popular for a while, and no place
could hold the people when he preach
ed. His mode of taking up cOllec-
tiOns was novel. Before the plate
was started on its rounds it was
baOught into the pulpit. It was the
pastors practice to come to his feet
take out his wallet, lay bill on the
plate, and do it with an air which
said: ''I would like to see the man
who would do less than that" The
boys said the bill was taken back in
the vestry. One hot Sunday night
the pastor came into his pulpit dressed
in Whits-White coat, and pants.
with a red neck-tie fastened 10 his
collar. After the preliminary exer-
cises he rose, threw his coat back, put
his thumbs in the arm-hOles Of his
vest, and g4zed steadily at his con-
gregation for a minute or two amid
profound silence. "Let her drive u
said the pastor. He waited a mo.
ment and then repeated, "Let hel
drive" Lowering his voice, he said
ifYou will find the text in Acts q :15.'
At the close Of the service a plain
looking man addressed another, say
ing: Can you tell me who this man
is that preached to-day ," "Oh that
is our pastor" "Give my eOmpli.

and am going to Boston. l shall bt

Railroads are public highways y
the United States Supre me Court de
eides. If so, then Congress can Tegu-
late them. And If so, then the reali-
zatiOn of Josiah Quincy's plan fol
regulating rates is not so very distant.
MIR. Quincy says
"My own opinion is that ultimately
the United States, acting under the
same authority by which they con-
structed the Cumberland road, will
own the road bed and the stations OF
freight roads on all the great lines,
and, like tine Erie Canal, throw them
open, under regulations as regards
regular and moderate speed, to any
person who wishes to put either cars
or locomotives upon them, paying, a

such regulations supplemented as
they would be by the telegraphs), no

would not have to go upon sidings to
wait for express trains, their speed

of their removal more certain than al

This is i subject Of vital Importance
to the people in every section Of this

to pay dividends on millions Of water

Trading HOrses-Rarrantee.

In trading horses it is generally
supposed that the parties 10 the bar.
gain depend upon their own judgment
and il one is cheated no one is t.
/ blame, but the warrantee holds good
| in this case, if the party be- respOnsi.
/ blej just as much as In any other. The
law in the case is laid down by a New
York judge as follows:
If a man warrant a horse" it Is not
necessary for him to say, 81 warrant
that horse" but any distinct afiirma'
I tion in regard TO the quality or con-
I ditiOn Of horse made to operate, and
which does operate on the sale,
amounts 10 q Warrantee. II a man
I don't want TO warrant he must keep
/ his mouth shut; and il he does open
his mouth, he must tell the truth.
| II the seeds Of disease are In a horse
when a man warrants him, the man
| who makes the warrsntee takes the
responsibility as to whether the seeds
I will sprOut or not, but q warrantee
/ don't apply to known defects which
can be seen. II a horse has an eye
knocked out, or has but three legs
and the owner says, 81 warrant that
/ horse to be sound" /" the law does not
/ take notice Of that, as the warrantee
does not apply.
! It may be further remarked that
| the seller Of mileh COW is under
quite as clear legal obligation to tell
| the truth as the seller Of horse.

The Girl that Saved a thousand Lives

AcAAA --AN -NS " III @@AAANag AAAf nLAAsl
A young girl named Lottie Dough-
erty recently died at Millville, n. J.,
from the effects of a wound sustained
by her during a successful effort to
save the lives of nearly a thousand
pepOle. In August last, according to
the Millville Republican, the deceas-
ed, while occupying the post OF tele-
graph operator at Eagle Station, on
the line Of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, was placed in a position of
responsibility which might have
proved too much for most men. Dur
ing fearful thunderstorm, an i'm
mense tree was struck by lightning
and thrown across the railrOad-track
Almost at the same moment, the tel
egraph apparatus was disabled. Find
ing it impossible to send a message to
warn the approaching train of danger,
the brave girl seized a red lamp, and
ran up the line swinging it above her
head. The engineer saw the signal in
time to avoid a fearful disaster. The
engine ran against tile tree, however,
with sufficient force to discOnnect a
heavy branch, which struck the girl
on the shoulder, and inflicted the in
juries that resulted in her death. The
passengers we're so grateful for their
escape that an attempt was immedi-
ately made to reward ler; but she
firmly declined to accept anything for
having done her duty. Such acts of
personal herOism should not be al.
lowed to go unrewarded, and the men
and women. who were on that train on
that August night might now have
an opportunity to mark their appre-
citation Of poor LOttie's bravery by
causing a handsome monument to be
erected to her memory.

4 Dangerous Man.

The London Telegraph tells q story
Of q man called PadWick, who has run
q singular London career during the
past fifteen years, from which we
learn that this person apparently
came into the world for the purpose OF
showing what an amazing amount
OF money. might DC made out Of fash
iOnable fools. For a long time he has,
so far as all control of property is con-
cerned, been the impersOnation of
some dozen large 0cred peers, not to
speak OF wealthy cCmmOners. Hav-
ing completely ''cleaued ont" the late
Marquis of Hastings, whom he did
not desert until that young nObleman
had, at the age of tWenty-siX, sunk
bankrupt into his grave, Mr.. Padwick
took even lOftier flights. In q little
while it became known that he was
really the pOssessOT of Hamilton
House, the great town residence OF
the Duke Of that ilk, and that, in fact,
Hamilton Palace, where he passed
much of his time, was also, t. all in
tents and purposes, his, and soon it
was found that his purse had been
supplemented by a little refresher in
the shape of decision giving him q
trifle of $3.50, 900 on a judgment debt
due to him from the Duke of New
castle. Recently he has come before
the public as the successful suitOr in a
cause which has given rise to many
unpleasant differences. This suit was
brought by Sir A. Stewart, to annual
deed by which the late Sir w. Stew
art agreed to sell his estates to Mr..
Padwick for e35O,O0O the date OF
entry to be the death of Sir William.
The application of Sir A. Steuart was
based on the ground that when Si
w. Stewart executed the deed he was
suffering from an illness of which he
died. This, Mr.. Padwiek denied.
The deed was executed on the 81 OF
April, and he died on the 2Sth of the
same month"; few months before the
passing of an act abOlishing such null
] ificatiOn on the ground of death bed
The suit was decided in favor of Pad
wick.

1.-THE WARP

''The first I can remember is the

mother said, taking me on his knee,
You may be thankful, Mrs. Hunter,

On the ROCK.

Once upon a time there live pow
erfuI king, who reigned over large
and fertile country. He had crowns
of gold and pearls, and scepter of iyO-
ry and precious stones. His treasury
was full of costly things of the earth ;
tens of thousands of armed men were
ready to obey mis- bidding, and his
dominion extended from sea TO sea.
But, without Gods blessing worldly
possessions are but an increase OF care
and this mighty monarch feared not
God, he was dissatisfied and unhappy.
In the dominiOns of the king there
lived a certain dervish famed for ab-
stinence, sanctity, wisdom and piety
and the king, willing to profit by the
| instruction of the holy man, paid him
a visit. He found him in sackciOth
! lying in a cave surrounded by hlgh
rocks on the border of wilderness.
"Holy man." said the king, u
come to learn how I may learn to be
happy"
Without giving any reply, the der
wish led the king through the rugged
pathways which led TO the place, till
he brought him in front of a high rock
near the top of which the eagle had
built her aeTie.
"Why has the eagle built her nest
yonder ?"
DOUBTLESS" ;" replied the king, "that
it may be out of DANGER
"Then initiate the Bird" said the
dervish, :'build thy throne in heaven,
and thou shalt reign there unmolested
and in peace"
Now the king would willingly have
given the dervish a hundred pieces OF
gold, if he would have accepted 1t, tor
the precious piece of advice. 1t may
be useful to you as the king, for you
are all as much interested in being
happy as he was. As the eagle oullI
her nest in the rugged rock, build
your hope on the ''ROck of Ages" As
/ the dervish told the king to erect DIS
throne in heaven, so l tell you 70
'seek those things which are above
where Christ is seated on the rlgh'
hand Of God. Set your affections on
things above, not on the things OF the
earth" Do this and you will 6t
above the reach of danger for tim'
and eternity.
