Ir is about time for the chap who
predicts numerous snow storms for the
ensuing winter, to make his appearance
in print. We trust that he is not dead
we should miss him sadly. To be
sure his predictions never come true,
but then it seems old fashioned to read
them, and it amuses numbers of people
who keep count of all the storms just
to satisfy themselves that the prophet
is fool.

Our talry-tooted nice young met
will be rejoiced to learn that tight boots
may be drawn on easily by simple pro-
cess. The patient lies down on the
floor and holds his feet straight up in
the air uatil the blood runs out OF them,
thus diminishing the size OF the foot by
several ounces, when it will slip into the
boot as sleek as sliding into gutter on
a dark night To enjoy perfect immun-
ity from pedal torture while the foot is
thus eneased, it is only necessary to re-
main in the position until ready to draw
off the boots.

A RESIDENT of the Fifth ward was

Thursday evening, when the door bell

THE busiest man in town has time to
attend divine service, at least once, to-
morrow. 1t is a holy duty. Let us all
therefore leave worldly pleasures, and
follies, and harassing cares, and go up
to the sanctuary to return thanks for
the manifold mercies that have crowned
our lives. II we humbly confess our
unworthiness, fervently invoke Gods
grace to aid us that we may lead better
lives, and be guided by his wisdom in
all our doubts and perplexities, surely
We will be happier and more useful
members of society. These duties de-
voutly performed. there is ample time
for sweet converse with friends and kin
dred, for enjoying such good things as
are set before us, for getting better ae-
quainted with the baby. and doing all
other things that are not repugnant to
the precepts of the divine Teacher. At
such an hour, il we are animated by
Christs spirit, We Will remember the i'll
fed, the i'll clad, and others of the un-
happy around us, and, as far as we have
the ability, prove to them by our deeds
that our religion is something beside
profession. Prayer and fasting, bro
ther, il accompanied by alms-giving,
are highly eommendable Let us not,
however, forget the emphatic declara-
tons OF the Saviour and his apostles
that our protestations ot piety, if unae-
companied by holy lives AS well as by
acts of charity, are Of lit worth in the
estimation of our divine Judge. SMIKF.

INCONSTANOY.

AGAINST the curtained pane, beloved,
The snow beats thick and fast,
The wild Winds sorrowful refrain
Is telling of the past
And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the hearth fires glow,
sit and sing the tender air
You loved 80 long ago.
All, often since the springs, beloved,
Have bloomed above your rest,
breathe the sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast
As children in the cherries days
When winter darkly lowers,
Retrace the gardens sodden ways,
And talk Of last years flowers.
It never seemed to you, beloved,
When we walked hand in hand,
Amid the sunshine and the dew
OF youths enchanted land
1t never seemed to you or me
That could aing or emile
If you were lying silently
Within your grave the whlle-
We thought we could not live, beloved,
II we were torn apart
That earth would have no more to give
To either stricken heart:
Alas, the change that time has wrought
Your grave has held you long,
And in the home where you are not,
sing the dear old songl
Do you look back to me, beloved,
From out your happy sphere,
And deem me false, that can be
Alive and you not heref
Death does not always bring its bal
To every aching ILL
Life may outlast the dearest charm,
And heartbreak does not kill.
Tt would have been the same, beloved,
Had been first to die
Another love had worn your name,
More dear. perchance. than |.
All, after ali these weary years,
Would you more constant bes
And would you drop these bitter tears,
And sing the song for me?

A FEW months ago Detroit furniture
dealer, while overhauling desk filled
with old papers, came across will ap-
parently executed in due form by one
Israel Whitworth, devising property
valued at about $4,000 to his sister,
Magaret Davis. Among the property be-
queathed by the will was farm near st.
Joseph, Mo-, and the finder of the will,
not knowing how it came into his posses
sion, and thinking that it might be of
some value, wrote to Mrs. Davis, regard
ing it, directing the letter to st. Joseph.
A short time after the furniture man re-
ceived an answer from Mrs. Davis, from
which he learned that Mr.. Whitworth
had been dead about eight years, that the
writer had never known of any will, and
that the property of her deceased brother
had been so divided among his other re-
latives that shehad received little or moth
ing of the estate. The will was there
upon forwarded to her legal advisers, was
admitted TO probate, and redistribution
of the property was adjudged by the
Court, by which Mrs. Davis found her
self some So, coo richer, and some of the
other relatives proportionately the poor

A SOMEWHAT remarkable character has

A SOMEWHAT remarkable character has
just terminated very brilliant career at
the little village of North Granville, in
Washington County, New York. His
name is Tom Cree, and his earliest place
of residence was the poor-house. He was
taken thence by kind farmer, and given
800. He had great aptitude for trade,
and soon multiplied his capital several
fold. Then he branched out, and so great
was the confidence of the citizens of the
place in his business abilities, that he had
no difficulty in procuring all the money
that he wanted. He started bank; en-
gagged in all kinds of enterprises, and es-
tablished business relations that extended
from Boston to Iowa. All this time he
was lavishly generous, and gained wide
reputation for his benevolence. But the
other day he disappeared, and now it is
found that he has robbed his neighbors
of 100000, leaving some of them SO poor
that they will be compelled to 60 to the
