Two Ladies Learn a Lesson.

A short time since lady in San Fran cisco opened letter addressed to her husband, and found in it circular from g firm that offered to send large amount of counterfeit money for small sum in greenbacks. The counterfeit money was described as beingso admir- ably gotten up as to defy detection, and the circular was eloquent as to the for tune which the firm thus placed within the grasp of any enterprising citizen.
 The wife showed the circular to her mother, and the two were struck with the idea. They sent fifty dollars to the firm, and awaited the arrival of the counterfeit money-one thousand dol lars-with feelings of irrepressible i'm patience. After time gentleman called, who bore the name of the senior member of the firm, to hand them the counterfeit money in person. The ladies received him privately in the parlor, and when they extended their hands to receive five hundred dollars apiece, the gentleman, to their horror, slipped handcuffs ontheir wrists, and announced himself to be United States detective Then followed screams, fainting, and a narrowing scene. The husband was sent for He came. The wife told her story, and the letters were removed from her own and her mothers WI sts, and the detective left, but the lesson which the occurrence taught the two women still remains.

 The truth is, fellow-farmers, it is this neighborhood association, this disinter- ested (apparently) interest in our neigh bors' affairs, that is one of the best and wlsest investments we can make, if we would enhance the value of our own property and give to ourselves and our neighbors the stability and security which are essential in all well-ordered society. We haven't any right to mind our own business in such matters be- sides it is not profitable to do so. I don't advise meddling, mind you! I don't advise arrogance and an ostenta- tious display of superior wisdom and knowledge. That will not pay, because it will result in no good effect. But an exhibition of kindly fellow-feeling, sympathy, neighborly interest in each others affairs, disposition to rejoice with those who rejoice, and sympathize with those who are unfortunate. and "help them out with manly hearti- ness and good will, will do more to raise neighborhood society and neigh borhood agriculture Cup to grade " than any other policy have ever seen tried. It is easy to tame colt or a kicking COW with kindness and good food. It is easy to fasten pig so he cannot get through under fence and do mischief. It is easy to keep chick ems about ones door, and out of the neighbours garden, by feeding them abundantly there. You can doabout any thing you choose with any animal if you give humane treatment and the human animal is no exception. Ac- cordingly, I suggest that these young human colts be tanned and harnessed the kicking cows be kindly handled and fed with the food they are starving for the pigs be fed and fattened the chick ems coaxed to roost at home by this same policy we apply to our brutes.

which have befallen this race in Roumania,

Two niles from the fort the Indians
entered tine house of Il Mr.. Kendall,
whore several relatives and friends with
their families had assembled together for
mutual comfort and assistance in those
trying times. Three youths and one girl
escaped when the savages made their at
tack; the rest were killed and scalped,
the house was robbed, the stock slaughter
ed, and then the human butchers left,
believing all were dead or dying. Early
in the night a shower of rain fell, and
revived Sahra Merrill, a married daughter
Of James kemball She had been cruelty
beaten with clubs and the whole scalp
taken oft, with its long beautiful hair,
as Il trophy of victory. She awoke to
consciousness of pain and terror but
love impaired strength to her aching and
bruised limbs. She was young mother,
and with the first return of consciousness
missed her first born from her arms.
Crawling on her knees, she felt among
the bodies around her for her little one.
She passed her hand over every face
until she found him She knew him by
touch; and oh he was still warm,
still living She sank down beside him,
weeping for joy, put her breast to his
lips, and he instinctively awoke to draw
lite from the warm, sweet, mother s-milk
For Il little while mother and child lay
in the darkness and rain, among the dead,
happy. Clasping her precious burden to
her bosom, animated by renewed strength
and hope, she slowly erawled and stray
gered, sometimes on her knees, over the
dead, through blood and rain and dark
ness, into the forest toward the fort.
When within half a mile of help her
bleeding head and wounded limbs gave
way: she had not strength enough to
bear even that little sweet weight onward.
Resolved not TO faint away, she laid down
and thought. In few moments she
again arose, placed the baby by a log.
and hid him with a green bough, almost
like the robin redbreasts hid the babes in
the wood, and LETT him. Die? Oh, no,
no! On She Went, staggering and crawl |
ing. growing every moment feebler still !
from loss of blood. At last she reached |
the tort. where a few men had again as
sembled to garrison the place, and take |
care OF the women and children who were /
pouring in from tae settlements. She /
was strong enough TO tell them where |
she hid her boy, strong enough to wait
until several men went out after him.
They quickly returned, bringing the child
with teen; and only when she elasped
him to her loving breast again did she
sink down exhausted in a swoon.
The Indians had cut a mark around
the poor little head, but, having only the
soft downy hair OF an infant, they did not
scalp him. Although he had been bruis-
ed and stunned by a blow. he lived many
years; and, let Us hope. was always a
comfort TO his brave mother. who also
survived the wounds and terrors of thar
day and night of tragedies So From De-
