gladdened to receive, by the last home mail,
your kind donation of S2l3.50 in gold, Tor the
Children's Hospital, Calcutta. If you
could have seen the poor little specimen OF
humanity that was brought to me this morn

some of your money had gone toward max.
ing him, or such rs he, more comfortable.
His parents are Mohammedans, and he was
brought from his home in the country last
night. He had been i'll ten days. with the
most loathsomc skin disease, such as you
never seen in America. He was only foul
months old. We do not intend to take chill
dren under two years of age into the IIospi

sometimes we vary, to suit unusual cases
We take them from all classes, from all com.

ways looks clean and inviting, but it is hard
for the nurse to keep the native ward so.

"Jusr THREE pucKs AHEAD.,

II. G. Wilson, lawyer at Troy,
Vermont, is one of the men of that
class which compreheDds the value of
the" Almighty Dollar" and seldom lets
one slip from his grasp. Now, there
is a law in this State which allows a
man in whose field a buck escapes dur
ing certain days in the year, to add
said buck to his flock as his individ-
al property. Among the lawyers
neighbors is boy named Alrich. Now
it appears that about year ago this
boy owned buck, which, on one oc-
casion, butted through the lawyers
fence, and entered upon his freehold
to inspect his flock. AS this fact came
to the knowledge of the lawyer, his
familiarity with the statute enabled
him to see money in the escape, and
he forthwith added to his inventory a
gain Of zone buck" The boy appear
ed and appealed with the full force of
sorrows eloquence for his property.
But the lawyer taking down his stat
ute, explained the law, and told the
boy that if he wanted to grow up and
be a rich man, he must be "trooly
loil, submitting willingly to the laws
and the Constitution of his country.
The boy retired to wait for better
days, which did not appear till last
week, when four of Wilson's fine bucks
escaped into the boys's field. They
were cared for, of course. AS the law
yer heard of the escape he went over
to relieve the boy Of further trouble.
A!r:;ch was at home, Wilson presented
his case, pointed to his mark on the
back of the bucks, "cussed" the divi-
sion fence, which he would have re-
paired at once at his own expense, and
offered the boy dime to help drive
the bucks home. "Mr. Wilson" said
the boy, Il have been rejecting upon
the excellent advice your were so kind
as to give me last year, AMI have con-
cluded to submit to the laws, obey the
Constitution and try to get rich. l

round three or four times in confusion,

PLUCKY CONDUCTORS.

The Detroit Free Press relates how
Conductor Wilsey, of the Michigan
Southern Railroad, dealt with three
gamblers who had plucked man on
his train. He demanded that they
should return the booty, but they re-
fused. The Free Press proceeds:
Wilsey "shed" his coat for business,
and all ladies in the car got up and
ran out. "Ah ha !" said one of the
gamblers as the conductors coat came
off, "this is better!' and he pulled out
revolver and lined it on Wilsey's
eye. Commence shooting /" replied
the conductor, and out came his own
shooting iron, and for twenty seconds
two revolyers were held up into two
mems faces, hammers up and fingers
on the triggers. The other two gam
blers began to feel for their hip pock-
cts, when Wilsey quickly said, "If
you don't hold up your hands I'll blow
the top Of your heads Off" They quit
feeling, and at that moment a Cleye-
land merchant and Toledo lake cap
tain came up, each with a cooked re-
vo'ver, and demanded to be counted
"in." At this the gamblers offered to
restore the watch, and when they had
done so the conductor made them re-
turn the full sos. Snow, them" said
he when he was through with them,
"get off this train! l shall remember
you, and if ever catch one of you on
my train again I'll have the engineer
run her up to sixty miles an hour, and
my brakemen will pitch you into the
first swamp The fellows were ready
to go, and as each one passed through
the door a piece of calf skin and sole
leather struck him under the coat tail
with full swing, materially assisting
him to reach the platform with the
least possible delay.

THANKSGIVING PRoCLAMAr1oN.

BY the President of the United States of
America, a Proclamation.
The approaching close of another
year brings with 1t the occasion of re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledges
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
universe for the unnumbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon us. Album.
dant harvests have been among the re.
wards Of industry. With local excep-
tions, health has been among the bless
ings enjoyed. Tranquility at home,
and peace with other nations have
prevailed. Frugal industry is regain
ing its merited recognition and its
merited rewards gradually, but, tnder
the Providence of God, surely, as trust,
the nation is recovering from the
lingering results of dreadful heivil
strife. For these and all other mer-
cies vouchsafed it becomes MS as peo-
pie to return heartfelt and grateful
acknowledgements, and with our
thanksgiving, we may unite in prayers
for the cessatioc of local and Temporal
ry suiIerings. therefore, recommend
that on Thursday, the 9th day of
November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship to
make their acknowledgement to Al
mihgty God for His bounty and His
protection, and to offer up praises for
their continuance, r.sls. .rgy.tF
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed. l

Strict economy is, doubtless, a
beautiful thing. But we fancy that
even Poor Richard never heard of so
picturesque an instance of this virtue
as the two which come from Iowa and
Virginia. The Iowa tale is that of
farmer whose infant daughter was late
ly attacked by a snake. A quick
witted woman seized a spade and kill
ed the animal, in the effort breaking
the handle of the weapon. What did
the high minded farmer do?' He made
the woman, under threat of lawsuit,
pay the full value of the spade-65
cents. 'Tis height of virtue to which
few men could attain. The Virginia
story is that of happy bridegroom
who, on departing from the parsonage
where the fatal ceremony had been
performed, handed the parson a fat
yellow envelope. 1t contained large
piece of brown paper-and nothing
more. The loveliness of a character
which, ia the midst of youth, and Joy,
and affection, and good clothes, could
so tenderly endeav0r to make a minis
ter happy, may we'll be revered.
The writers in some of our maga-
zines are becoming anxious as to the
growing celibacy among the wealthy
and fashionable. classes of society.
When all were poor all could afford to
be married, but now, with ten times
more wealth and comfort than our
fathers had, our young men are "too
poor to marry" We do not confess to
any anxiety ourselves on this subject.
When young men get so proud that
they will not begin their married life
in a cottage and young women get SO
fashionable that they must follow all
the tortuosities Of the grass-hopper
and the Grecian Bend, We cannot re-
gard celibacy as anything else than a
merciful provision Of Providence
against the perpetuatlon of the species.
One of the wittiest as we'll as one of
the most brilliant men Pennsylvania
has produced, was the late George w.
Barton, of Philadelphia, who once oc-
cupied a seat on the bench. Trying a
case before a judge who was chiefly
remarkable for obtuseness, he took oc-
casion to say that he had often seen
great ass in judicial robes. you
speak from experience, Isuppose, was
the angry retort.
Not at ALL replied Judge Barton,
Il am speaking directly from observa-
tion.'-Harper's Magazine.
Ladies in delicate health should go
to Colorado. The case Of Mrs. Prath-
er, of Golden City shows the wonder
full restorative effects of the climate.
She could not even sweep her room
when they lived in Ohio, but in less
than a year after her arrival in the
Territory she chased her husband a
nile and a quarter with pitch fork.
