A Hard Case.

The postmaster at Atlanta, Georgia,
whose son, employed in his fathers
Office, recently absconed, being de-
faulter, is peculiarly an unfortunate
man. A local paper says in regard to
him." If there ever was an honest man
upon earth it is James l.. Dunning, the
father of the unfortunate young man.
Some years ago Mr.. Mclaughlin, then
his money clerk, abscondeS, leaving q
deficit in his accounts of several thou
sand dollars. Quietly and heroically
the old man resolved himself to make
good what had been lost to the govern
ment by his employee. Being compar-
atively poor the government allowed
him to commence payment of the self
imposed debt by installments. Since
then no man has seen James l.. Dun
ming at any public place of amusement;
no one has seen him spend single dol
lar for any luxury. With stern resolve
to wipe out the stain, he has taken from
his salary every spare dollar, which
otherwise would have gone to make
comfortable his declining life and
smooth his pathway down the hill, and
devoted it to the redemption of his OBJ
legation. And now, after years of de-
privation and struggle, when he had
paid all but about 5000 of the defalca-
ton and was almost free from the bond.
age of the debt, he finds himself, gray
haired and enfeebled, brought face tc
face with another defalcation, and this
timely his own son."

The First.R orn,s Death.

The following beautiful extract from

and tender interest by all parents, and
especially by those whose soul the iron
has entered:

Then and Now.

John B. Cough, in late lecture, said:
Fifty years ago we burned the same ma
terials for light as they did 5000 years
ago. The lamps and torches that il
Illuminated Belshazzar's feast were as
brilliant and were probably of the same
materials as those at the earlier recep-
tions at Washington. The same might
be said of locomotion. Nimred and
Noah travelled at about the same rate of
speed as our fathers. He remembered
travelling between Albany and Utica,
and making three miles an hour straight
through. Now in twenty-seven hours
We could pass the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, and
100 miles into Virginia. In the old
times they lived forlove, and for plain,
simple kome with all its happiness and
comforts. In the then the marriage re-
lation with its hallowed influence was
the offspring of love; in the no,O it was
made matter of barter and sale, and
family life was metamorphosed into o
wretched struggle for fashionable dis
play. One man married to increase his
responsibility, one to please his friends,
another brought wife home to spite
his relatives, and another married to
procure service without being obliged
to pay for it. One girl married because

crochet and Berlin work, with ample
time to go out. He sometimes saw
these butterflies in the street, with
abundance OF fnery, cheap jewelry, and
head-gear and, speaking of female
head-gear, he might say that no one
could break the second commandment
in worshipping it, because it was unlike
anything in the heavens above or the
earth beneath. He knew it was the
fashion to make old maids and old
bachelors subjects of ridicule, but
wouldi it not be better to be laughed at
because you are not married, than never
to laugh at all because you are married Z
If girl was meek in her manner ; il
she was modest in the presence of gen.
tlemen, or if she is kind to animals, she
was cut out for an old maid. Neatness,
modesty, thrift, order, and humanity
seemed to be the never-failing charac-
teristics of that terrible creature, the
old maid. But, he asked, were moi

A Terrible Rungle.

less man, who has lived under fifty
different aliases, was brought to the
scaffold for the murder of an aged
couple, from beneath whose roof he
took about seventy thousand dollars,
part of hoard accumulated by the old
people after years of labor and economy,
but whose distrust of mankind induced
them to personally guard their wealth.
He entered their log cabin, dispatched
with q huge club the faithful dogs,
Drained the woman and hacked the old
man almost to pieces. Securing the
coin, he fastened to bury it, refusing
to reveal its hiding place to the officers
of justice. At the bar he sneered at
the evidence, laughed at the solemnity
of the Judge and betrayed the worst
symptoms of human depravity when
condemned to death, relnarking that he
was troubled only at the uncertainty Of
whether his victims were in heaven or
the darker regions. After being par-
italy strangled he fell to the ground
and had second time to be placed on
the trap. On the scaffold he raVed like
lunatic, cried to God for mercy when
he first fell, and finally died like hall
conscious brute.

An Insurgent Defeat.

A private letter received in New York
from a trustworthy source, dated Ha-
vana, says can official telegram was
received at the Palace from Puerto
Principe of an engagement between a
Spanish force and column of insur-
gents under command of Sanguiti, in
which the insurgents were severely
beaten, losing twenty killed and eighty
taken prisoners. The Spanish com
mander caused all the prisoners to be
shot on the field of battle. The Gov
ernor Of Puerto Principe, upon hearing
it, took the command away from the
Spanish commander and arrested him,
telegraphisg the event to the Captain
General. The latter Immediately tele-
graphed to Puerto Principe, causing
the commander to be reinstated, and
ordering the Governor to Havana. 1t
is thought that the Governor feels an
undue sympathy toward the insurgents,
through the influence of his wife, who
is an aunt of the late Agramonte."

REsT.-The best medicine in the
world, more efficient in the cure of dis
ease than all the potencies of the
chemists shop, are warmth, rest, clean
liness, and pure air. Some persons
make it virtue to brave disease, "to
keep up as long as they can move foot
or bend finger" and it sometimes
succeeds but, in others, the powers of
life are thereby so completely exhausted
that the system has lost all ability to
recuperate. and slow and typhoid fever
sets in, and carries the patient to pre-
matare grave. Whenever walking or
work is an effort, a warm bed and cool
room are the very first indispensable
steps to a sure and speedy recovery.
Instinct leads all beasts and birds to
quietude and rest the very moment dis
ease or wounds assail the system,

How to Feed Horses.

The Vermont Farmer says "Mr.
Emery, of Worcester, after trying sew
eral ways of feeding horses, has settled
down on the following He feeds whole
hay with six quarts of bran and corn
meal, half and half, twice a day, wet.
He has fed so for the last year. His
horses look finely, and he works them
hard, but at the same time he is care
full man with team. He intends to
have them fed at stated times, once in
twelve hours" This is much better
than feeding meal alone, as the coarse
bran separates the particles of meal and
prevents its packing so hard as it other
wise would in the stomach of the horse,
but even this is not safe way with ali
horses. The concentrated food should
be more divided with coarse fodder,
Young and vigorous horses may stand
1t we'll for few years, as their digestion
IS more active, but bran and meal mixed
In equal portions is too compact for
proper digestion in most horses. and
they will, in a short time, be affected
with colo and many other stomach
complaints. The omnibus lines in cities
have had experience on q large scale,
and find the only safe way is to feed
meal, or meal and bran, mixed with
about an equal weight of cut hay or
straw. This gives abundance of strong
feed, and also bulk, leaving the con-
tents OF the stomach in o porous con-
dition.
