On Monday night an unfortunate Lishmau
wandered into the Court House searching for .
place to pass the night. He found his way up
stairs, were tho doors were closed, and turned to
retrace his steps, when he struck the ruling Of
the stairs. and thinking it fence, as he says,
he climbed oTar it at place where it waa about
eight feet to tho stars below. Luckily, or un-
luckily, as the case might hare been, Is he fell
from the railing one Of his feet caught bet1esn
the balusters, and he hung between heaven and
earth, head downward His position was very
painful, and at the aame time, dangerous, one,

spite OF his many and loud calls for help, be re-
lnained In That terrible position all night, and
was released next morning. Had the weather
been as cold as it had been 4 few days before, it
is quite likely he would have died before morn
ing, as no etforte were uaads by those who heard
his agonizine cries to relieve him.

The Heroic Mother.

We see household brought up we'll. A
mother who took alone the burden Of life
when her husband laid it down, without
much property, out of her penurity, by her
planning and industry, night and day, by
her wilfalness of love, by her fidelity, brings
up her children; and life has six men, all
Of whom are like pillars in the temple Of
God. And o, do not read to me the cam
paigns of Caesar; tell me nothing about
Napoleon's wonderful exploits. | tell you
that, as God and the angels look down
upon the silent history of that woman's ad.
ministration, aud upon those building
processes which went on in her heart and
mind through a score of years, nothing ex-
terror, no outward development of king.
doms, no empire-building, can compare with
what she has done. Nothing can compare
in beauty, and wonder, and adnirableness,
and divinity ITSELF to the silent work 10
obscure dwellings of faithful women bring.
ing their children to honor and virtue and
piety. tell you, the inside is larger than
the outside; the loom is more than the
fabric; the thinker is more than the thought (;
the builder is more than the building.-H

Dreaming and Doing.

Amy was dear good girl in many things;
bu, she had one bad habit she was too
apt to waste time in dreaming of doing, in-
stead Of doing.
In the village where she lived Mr..
Thornton kept a small shop, where be sold
fruit Of all kinds, including berries in their
season.
One day he said to Amy, Would you
like to make some money 2'
OF course would 20 said Amy; for
my dear mother often has to deprive her
self Of things she needs, SO that she may
buy shoes or clothes for me"
Well, Amy, noticed some fine ripe
blackberries along by the stone wall in Mr..
Green's five acre lot and he said that or
anybody else was welcome to them. Now,
if you will pick the ripest and best, l
will pay you sixteen cents quart for
them
Amy was delighted at the thought, and
ran home aud got her basket, aud called
her little dog Quilp, with the intention of
going at once to pick the blackberries.
Then she thought she would like to find
out, with the aid of her slate and pencil,
how much money she should make if she
were to pick five quarts She found she
should make eighty cents almost enough
to buy a new calico dress.
But supposiug should pick dozen
quarts how much should [ earn then p"
So she stopped and figured that out. Dear
me 1t would come to dollar and ninety
two cents"
