HANDLING A SWAPPING TURTLE BY
THE WRONG END.-A man named Gil
sey, who by strict economy and severe
industry, has succeeded III getting his
family a little place, free of incum-
brance, was fishing in Still river, near
the Beaver Brook mills, on Sunday
afternoon. After sitting on the bank
for couple of hours, without catch
ing anything, he was gratifed to see,
on fat stone in the water, a swapping
turtle summing itself The butt-end OF
the turtle was towards him, and he
thought he would capture it; but while
he was looking for a place to step,
the turtle gravely turned around with
out his knowledge, and when he got
in reaching distance, and bent down to
take hold of what nature designed
should be taken hold of while handling
a swapping turtle, that soCiable animal
lust reached out and took hold of Mr..
Gilsey's hand with grasp that left no
doubt of its sincerity. The shrieks of
the unfortunate man aroused some of
the neighbors, but when they arrived
it was too late to be of any benefit to
him, or even to themselves, for they
just caught a glimpse of bare-headed
man tearing over the hill, swinging a
small carpet bag in one hand, and they
at once concluded that it was a narrow
escape from highway robbery. How
ever, it was not carpet-bag he was
swinging; it was that turtle, and it clung
to him until he reached the White street
bridge, when it let go; but the fright
ened man did not slacken his gait until
he got home When he reached the
house, the righteousness of che affair
burst upon him, and when his wife
looked at his pale face, and bare head,
and dust-begrimmed clothes, and asked
him what was the matter, he said,
Nothing was the matter. only he was
afraid he would be too late for church,
and appeared to be much relieved to
find that he wasn't.-Ddnbury Ne1OS.

THE Allentown Chronicle mentions the
following strange occurrence which recent
ly took place in that vicinity: In the af-
ternoon, between and @ o'clock, Hiram J.
Schantz, Esq, stood above his mill at the
head of Cedar creek, and without any ap-
parent cause he was turned around twice
by some invisible force. What it was he
cannot divine, for he felt no wind. A mo-
ment after he noticed body of water five
or six feet high rushing toward the mill
from above, coming from direction where
no creek ran, and which was the water of
a water spout which, it is said, descended
near Crackersport, and rushed across the
fields, carrying fences with it. He ran to
the mill and notified the hands to open the
open the gates, which was done. A cul-
vert under the road to convey the water to
the mill was washed away, and about one
half the saw mill, including the water
wheel, was destroyed. In the house the
water covered the lower floors, soaking the
carpets.

SWEET HOME.

| Mid pleasures and palaces though we may
roam,
Be it ever SO humble there's no place like
home
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us
there,
Which, seek through the world, is never
met with elsewhere.
Home, home, sweet, sweet home
There's no place like home,
There's no place like home.
An exile from home, splentler dazzles in
vain,
Q give me my lowly thatched cottage again,
The birds singing gaily, that came at my
call,
Give me them with peace of mind. dearer
than all,
Home, home, &c.
Oh, when shall it ever again be nv lot.
In rapture to gaze on my sweet little cot :;
Wherever roam. there is no place see.
So dear to my bosom, SO lovely as thee.
Home, home, &c.
gaze on the moon, as 1 trace the drear
And feel that my mother now thinks of her
child;
She looks on that moon from our own cot
tage door,
Through woodbines whose fragrance shal:
cheer me no more.
Home, home, &c.
Farewell, peaceful cottage, farewell happy
home,
Forever I'm doomed poor exile to roam.
This poor sinking heart must be laid in the
tomb,
Before I'll forget the endearments of home.
Home, home, &c.

Dora gave him QUICK look of re-
proof. This is no time for love-mak-
ing" she answered, withdrawing her
hand. Have you no feeling for tile
poor girl lying here, whose whole life
must be one of misery and sorrow ?"
wv hat is this ballet girl to me 2''
answered the count, stung to the quick,
and Tor moment thrown off his guard
"Of course, | am sorry for her" he
added the next moment, but"
At this moment Ada opened her
eyes again, and faint blush struggled
with the paleness in her checks, as her
gaze fell upon the count. A beautiful
smile played upon her trembling lips.
and she reached her hand toward him.
"Oh, my love" she said in a low whis-
per-a whisper which first sent the
blood mantling into Dora's face and
then left it paler than snow-'you are
near and /"
Something in the COUNTS face stop
ped her words.
THE girl is wandering" he said,
coldly. "She does not know what she
is saying"
She had tainted again. "Go, count, s"
said Dora, hastily. ''G our presence is
not wanted here" Her manner was
decided and even imperious, and the
count did not venture to disobey; but
as he left he cast upon Ada look
which caught the others eve, and from
the expression that came into her face
| khew-knew even then that he would
never more hold place in her heart
We carried Ada home, and through
the long illness which followed, Dora
was her constant nurse and compan-
ion. To this dear friend was confided
with many tears the secret of her heart.
The count had won her love, and had
promised to ask my consent to their
union. Unsuspecting and confiding,
she knew nothing of his attentions to
Dora, and it was by his wish that she
had never mentioned his name to me.
| heard atterward, that he and Dora
met but once after the accident, and
that he endeavored to defend his per
fidy on the plea that he was only ANU
sing himself with Ada, and never had
seriously thought of making her his
wife. $50 much the worse for YOU,
count" said the true-hearted woman.
Il shall never be your wife, and never
want to see your face again"
We are married now, Dora and l.
From loving Ada she learned in time
to love me, and the sweet and gentle
invalid, who never again will walk until
she steps upon the heavenly shore, is
happy in our love. No murmur ever
escapes her lips Her sweet face is
never clouded. Since Dora learned
her sad story, the counts name has
never passed my sisters lips, nor has
she ever in any way alluded to him.
But Dora found her one day weeping
silently over picture which she put
away without its being seen.
] have not told how the accident
happened. The master machinist, him
self in love with Dora, had cut several
strands of the cords by which the car
was secured. He openly avowed his
crime, and only regretted that Dora
had not been killed. "She rejected
me with scorn," he said on his trial.
Il was resolved she should never give
her hand to another" He was mani
festlv a maniac / can never forgive
myself for not watching him more
closely after that encounter under the
stage.-From THE ALDINE for Sep

Who Drink the Coffee d?

The coffee trade of the United States
last year is thus recapitulated. The
total receipts were 2, los, 082 bags, etc.,
or 277, 636, 25S pounds, Of which 161, $40,
500 pounds were landed at New York,
against imports in 1871 of 325, 700, 479
pounds. The consumption of coffee in
1872 was 271, 71S, 1913 pounds, against a
consumption in 1871 of 316, 500, 765,
being falling off of little over IA per
cent. The decline in the imports and
consumption in 1872 is attributed to the
very short crop of Brazil in 1871, as
hence we draw 70 to so per cent. of our
supplies and in lesser measure to the
failure of the Java crop the same year.
Baltimore stands the second city in the
country in the importation of the arti-
Gle. The value of the direct receipts OF
coffee at ports of shipments, received at
New York, was SOS, 284, ITO in gold.
There was taken from New York, last
year.. 154, 918, OLA pounds of coffee from
Baltimore, Ga, oil, 700 pounds; from New
Orleans, 26, 81, $40 pounds /; from Phil
adelphia, 1893, $40 pounds; from Bos-
ton, 4,579, 1854 pounds, and from other
ports, Ii, 941 $50 pounds. The consump-
ton of coffee in the United States has
grown from 1874, 225, 700 pounds in 1867
to about 800, 600, 900 in 1871-72.

Life Insurance,

By the showing of the New York
Times the agents of life insurance com
panies, doing business in New York, re
ceived for commissions during the five
years ending in 1871 upwards of $40
600, 900, while the widows and orphans
of the persons insured received during
that period about $75, 10000 1t is be-
heved that the sums paid for salaries q
officers, office rent, stationery, advertis-
ing, services of attorneys and medical
examinations, in addition to the commits
sions paid to agents, will make sum
fully equal to that paid to the heirs of
the insured. In 1854, of terminated
policies, twelve per cent. were surren-
dered, that is, given up for a small pro-
portion of the money that had been paid
on them ; seventy-three per cent. lapsed
that is, we're totally confiscated, because
the holders became tired of carrying
them; while only twelve per cent. were
terminated by the death of the holders.
To show that people are losing faith in
life insurance companies, the report of
1871 is given. In that year twenty-one
and third per cent. of all the policies
we're surrendered seventy-one and d
third per cent. lapsea leaving only
seven and third per cent. to expire by
death or expiry. Insuring only healthy
subjects on the basis of the average
mortality among persons of all condi-
lions of health and disease, and only
having to pay ON seven policies in hun
bred, ought to be q thriving business.
Is it any wonder that whining men go
about the country, reminding persons of
the uncertainty of human life ?
