How She stopped 1t.

An exchange says the subject Of bor-
rowing and lending came up in the
course Of q conversation with one OF its
subscribers the otherday, when he sud-
denly recollected o funny reminiscence
ofthat character which Ind happened
in his own neighborhood. He said lie
had a neighbor whose family were great
borrowers, but not so distinguished as
paymasters-they were always borrow
ing. but seldom, il ever, returned the
exact amount borrowed. An old Quaker
lady, another neighbor, who had en-
dured thee invasions for long time
patiently, hit upon very philosophical
mode Of eventually putting stop to
the nuisance. Keeping her own coun-
sci, the next time her good man went to
town, lie had separate and express or
der to purchase pound OF tho best tea
and also new canister to put 1t in. As
he knew she already had plenty of tea
and also canister, he was puzzled to
determine what the old lady wanted Of
more tea and q new canister, but his
duestionings and reasonings elected
nothing more than n repetition OF the
order. 4.'..-.r
"Jim, did / not tell thee to get me
pound OF the best tea and a new canis-
ter I? Now go along and do as bid
thee"
And 20 along he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and new
canister werc his companions. The old
lady took them from him with an anus
ed expression on her usual placid fea-
lures, and depositing the tea in the
canister, SET Il on the shelf for q special
use. II had not long TO wait, for tho
borrowing neighbor had frequent use
for the aromatic herb. The good old
lady loaned generously, emptying back
in the canister any remittance OF bor-
rowed teas which tho neighbor's con-
science inclined her to make. Time
went on, and after something less than
the one hundredth time OF borrowing,
the neighbor again appeared for 'iust
another drawing Of tea, when the oft
visited ten canister was brought out
and found to be empty, and the good
old lady and obliging neighbor was Just
one pound Of tea poorer than when she
bought the new canister which now
only remained to tell the story. Then
she made little harectaristic speech,
perhaps the first in her life; she said:
''Thou seest that empty canister.
filled II for thee with pound of my
best tea and have lent 1t all 70 thee in
driblets and put in to II oil thou hast
sent me in return, and none but thyseli
hath taken therefrom or added unto 1t,
and now thou seest II empty; therefore
| will say to thee, thou hast borrowed
thyself out and I can lend thee no
more ~

A Good Work.

Here is n homoly little matter, says
All exchange, worth attention, as II may
mean life or death before long to many
q poor woman or child. A few years
ago M overworked, sickly Welshman,
with his wife and child, came to a mill
town in this country and found work in
steel factory. The hard labor and
heat aggravated his disease, and very
soon all the symptoms Of rapid con-
sumption showed themselves. Hiswife,
country-born and bred, tried sewing
and washing, but, hungry and weak, she
was poor seamstress and poorer laun-
dress. Want and misery were already
in the wretched little shanty, and death,
as the old song says, stood knocking at
the door, when a lady noticed the man
with his sunken chest and hollow cough
creeping past her door daily to his work,
and told him, what he knew too well
already, that to continue in the mill was
suicide. "What can l do2" he replied.
"If I quit it for week, my wife and
child will starye." The woman had no
money to give, but instead Of heaving a
blBH over Vie ueCebbttleb Vi tue WOEhluB
classes and letting the matter slip past
her as so many OF us would have done,
she looked about to find q vacant niche
for him. Presently she remembered
another needy case, a friend Of her own,
woman OF wealth and refinement, with
two or three children and uncertain
health, who, simply because she lived
in the country, was forced half the time,
like Lady Anne, TO "cook, brew, bake,
make the beds, and do all herself"
Here was need which would relieve
the other. In o month the Welshman
and his wife we're quartered in snug
cottage on one Of Eehighest, healthiest
localities in the country, He helped in
the barn, in tho stable, did light work
atield. His wife proved nm invaluable
house servant, and presently was pro.
noted to be housekeeper. The child
was rescued from the streets and grew
mp in the pure air and pure influences
OF the country. This was ten years
ago. The Welshman is now hale and
hearty, has his own little patch and
works the rest Of the farm on shares
with the owner.

DESTROYED by an Earthquake.

When the steamship ST. Louis loft

there that the City OF San Salvador had
been destroyed by o great earthquake
onthe4thof March. The telegraphlines
to the port being down, no details could
be had when she was leaving. '.i

times it has suffered greatly from earth.
quakes, by one Of which Il was nearly
destroyed in 1860, and by another Of
which 1t came near suffering a similar
fate in 1854. The city was well built,
aud contained several churches, a fino
cathedral, and several converts. II had
population of about 1000 souls. In
1853 its inhabitants numbered about
10000, but after the earthquake Of
April i6, 1854, they fell 10 the number
mentioned above. Then the Govern.
ment Of the republic Of which it was
the capital laid out new city, called
Nuevo San Salvador, ten miles nearer
tho sea, and transferred to II the seat OF
government, but so large number Of
the inhabitants preferred the old place
that in 1865 IL was again made the
capital.

A Rallroad seized BY an Armed Force.

A railroad war OF some magnitude has
been in progress at Youngstown, Ohio.
About year ago tho stockholders OF tho
Liberty and Xenia Railroad Company
sold that road to tho Ashtabula,
Youngstown and Pittsburg Railroad
Company, receiving in payment part in
cash and part in bonds Of the latter
Company. Owing to some subsequent
misunderstanding the matter was taken
before the courts, and for the past four
or five months the Ashtabula, Youngs-
town and Plttsburg Railroad Company
have held control OF the former road by
virtue OF an injunction which expired
lately, at which time there appeared
upon the premises two Of the principal
stockholders OF the Liberty and Xenia
road, with large force Of men, who
tore up the track, cut the telegraph
wires, stopped all trains, took possession
OF the rolling-stock, and are now in for
cible possession Of the road with force
OF two TO three hundred armed men.
William McCreery, President, and other
officers OF the Ashtabula, youngstown
and Pittsburg road are now ut Youngs.
town, and 1t is reported that q special
train has left Pittsburg with reinforce
ments for McCreery, who is backed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Great excitement prevailed, and there
was imminent danger Of q riot.

fatigue, but mainly from will, the last
named force prevailed. She refused to
comply and took her seat, The court
seized this advantage, and at once di-
rected the attorney to proceed. He adj
dressed the Jury very briefly, the judge
charged with as few words as possible,
and the Jury retired.
While the jury was out, Mrs. Folsom
felt relieved from the pressure and ex-
citement Of her trial, it seemed rs If
her whole mental force began to droop,
and her faculties generally to fail her.
Yet the force OF habitwas such, that her
tongue refused to stop, and, as there
was no moro argument or debate to be
had, she fell into a train OF exhortation.
The Judge evidently appreciated the
difficulty, and made no effort to proceed
with any other business. Abby there
fore took out her Bible and read about
three verses. She then commenced m
exhortation, which Immediately raninto
the history Of her family, the good quail.
tiles Of her father, etc. She then read
perhaps as much more, and exhorted
back to her childhood, showed how she
was trained and the like. Thus the
whole time was spent, while the Jury
dclibcrated.
When the jury returned, every facein
that broad court room looked anxious.
Whether tho feeling which pervaded the
audience arose from sympathy with
Mrs. Folsom, or fromR desire to SEQ her
lnwlessness restrained, or from sheer
curiosity, it matters not. The feeling
was strong one, and no spectator was
free from its influence. Even Mrs. Fol-
som showed n degreeof solicitude which
had not before appeared in her oounte-
nance during the whole day. But the
kcenest observer, with all his power of
penetration, could read nothing in the
eye Of a single juror. Every look was
stolid, blank, unintelligible. Tho clerk
mechanically propounded the question:
"NIr. Foreman, have you agreed
upon u verdict p
1--WE have" -.....
"What say you, Mr.. Foreman, is the
prisonerat the barguilty, ornotguilty?"
"Not, guilty By reason Of partial in
sanity"
A deathlike silence for moment en-
sued, when Abby with a strong effort
called out:
"Mr. Foreman, will you answer me
one question:"
"Do you, from the very bottom Of
your soul. believe that I am partially
The Foreman, in q firm and decided
tone, replied:
III do"
This was the most cruel cut Of all.
If the verdict had been "not guilty."
she would have triumphed. II "guilty,"
she would have proclaimed herself q
martyr, aud have gone to Jail, o heroine.
But TO hear jury Of her peers declare
her insane Well, for once Abby Fol-
som was PROSTATE, and for n few weeks,
by order Of the court, enjoyed the kind
protection of M Insane Asylum.

Getting the Boys Up.

Calling boy up in tho morning can
hardly bo classed under the head Of
"pastimes,' especially II the boy is
fond Of exercise the day before. And it
is little singular that the next hardest
thing to getting q boy out of bed is
getting him into it. There is rarely o
mother who is n success at rousing q
boy. All mothers know this so do
their boys. And yet the mother seems
to go at IL in the right way. She opens
the door, and insinuatingly observes,
"Johnny |" There is no response.
" John.ny J" Still no response. Then
there is short, sharp "John !" fol.
lowed moment later by prolonged
and emphatic "John Henry" A Agrunt
from the upper regions signifies that an
impression has been made, and the
mother is encouraged to add, "You'd
better be getting down hero to your
breakfast, young man, before I come up
there an give you something you'll
feel" This SO startles the young man
that lle Immediately goes to sleep again.
And tho operation hRs to be repeated
several times. A father knows nothing
about this trouble. He merely opens
his mouth as a soda bottle elects It's
cork, and the "John Henry" that
cleayes the air OF that stairway goes
into that boy like electricity, and
pierces the deepest recesses Of bis very
nature. And he pops out Of that bed
and into his CLOTHES and down the
stairs with n promptness that is COM
mendablc. It ia rarely q boy allows
himself to disregard tho paternNl sum.

then directed his agent to call again
upon the secretary and ascertain his in

taken place in his feelings. 1ndigna-

possession Of him that ho had determ-

We give herewith a very pretty
design for a Gothic Cottage, for
the engrayings of which, we are
indebted to Bicknell's Village
Builder, the design being by
Mr.. A. J. Bicknell, thepublisher.
Tho Gothic Cottage, of which,
in the first plan We give a per-
spcctivc view, and in figures two
and three, respectively, plans OF
tho first and second floors, can
be completed ut a cost OF from
$1,000 to 5000, according to
locality and style of finish. The
plan, which is made on n scale Of
one.sixteenth of an inch to one
foot, explains itself. The elegant
exterior shown in theperspectiyo
view, will receive the approval Of
persons of taste. Without the
commanding appearance of more
ambitious ediaces, such q house,
surrounded by tastefully arranged
shrubbery, ,andplaced onanappro-
priate site, would present very
pretty appearance, as ourreaders
will see at a glance. There is
nothing, the romody for which is
always at hand, that we SO much
neglect, as tho architectural de-
sign of our dwellings and we
publish the plans herewith, in
order that the evil may be cor
rected in our vicinity, at least.
