Getting Them Out.

A family named Prather, says the
Detroit Free Press, occupying a house
on Croghan street, have paid no rent
for three months, and the landlord has
been trying TO get them OUT. He took
away the front steps US g gontle hint,
but they lived right on. Then ho got
hold of the front door key, but they
went around to the side door. The
landlord then put q carpentener in the
parlor to make repairs, but the family
moved into the kitchen, aud were still
happy. After due consideration the
landlord took the windows out of the
parlor and bedroom, but the family had
q good stove and plenty of weod. Next
after learning that he hadn't discour-
aged his. tenants, the owner Of the
house went in and removed all the doors
and windows; leaving the pure air of
heaven rushing through the OLD coop
like runaway mule. He, thinks they
they will leave ina day oF two,. but it is
doubtful, as pedestrians VINO passed the
house in the afternoon saw the chill
dren playing horse in the windows and
the father seated on the bed meuding q
rat.trap.

A Fickle Woman.

2 y \ z y q
In 1749 occurred an odd episode in
John Wesley's life. On one of his
missionary journeys hs had been taken
sick at Newcastle, where he was nurssd
by Grace hurry, one of his female
"helpers," a handsome, clever widow Fof
four.and-thirty, Wesley himself being
twelve years older. He asked her. to
marry him. She seemed amazed, and
replied, 'This is too great blessing.
cannot tell how to believe it. This is
all L could have wished under heaven ="
Wesley, quite naturally, took this as
formal botSothal But Grace had not
long before nursed John Bennett, a
Methodist preacher, of about her own
age; aud Wesley 9as soon astounded
by q joint letter from Grace and John,
asking his cons mt to their marriage
Then eusued comedy lasting for
mouths, the like of which no playwright
has ventured to put an the stage. Grace
would have been quito content, "a ith
either of her lovers, we're it not for tue
other.
But, tcontray to all example, it. was
the absent one whom she wanted.
When esley was with her she lodged
for Bennett; when Bennett was present
she longed for Wesley How many
times she broke and renewed her On
gagement with each it would be hard to
tell; |'I love you" she said to Wesley
"a thousand times better than Fever
loved John Bennett; but Iamfhfraii iii
l. don't marry him he'll runmad .''s
That very evening she promised herself
again to Bennett. A week after she
told Wesley she was determined to live
and die with him. She indeed wanted
to be married at once; but Wesley
wished for some delay. 81 Grace saidrshe
could not wait more than year. 5Ai
fortnight later she met Bennett, fell at
his feet, and acknowledged that she had
used him ill. g. y ~ '".'' ~
They were married q week after. THIS
strange marriage seems to have turuedi
out happy one. Bennett dieli the
triumphs of faith ten years later. Grace
survived until 1903, dying at the age of
eighty seven. For years she was bright
light in the Methodist society. Wesley
cav her three days after her marriage,
and but once more on earth. i Thirty
nine years after, she came to London on
a visit to her son, and expressed . wish
to see Wesley. He was eighty i've
years old, she past seventy. What could
they have to say, except "Hail aud
farewell |" si l.sa lGl3ds3 sA

WFacts and Hints"

In this busy age Of restless activity,
the people have little leisure tor the exam
ination of elabo. Forks on science, med
icine, or in fact any .other subject. Hence,
every volume issued from the press, which
presents to the reader, in a condensed form
the facts, and theories for the education of
every household is to be hailed with graft
tude, as one of the educating forces of the
present time.
Among the most useful and valuable of
this class of books, is volume of 412
pages just issued from the press of w. J..
Holland, of Springfield, Mass, which con-
tains facts and hints for everyday life. 1t
is book for the household, containing more
than one thousand articles on Chemistry

Gardening, "Toilct Hints" Clothing"
accidents and Diseases and their Rene
dies, etc" Dumps "Fruit," Food, 3"
"Amusements and Exercise, STATIONERY
and Artistic" "Law," Miscellaneous.
An examination shows the volume to be
one of the most useful and important that
has ever come from the American press,
and none who read its pages can fail TO he
entertained and instructed, i'm fact, edit
Gated. The person who pcruecs its pages
carefully cannot be classcd as an ignorant
man or woman, for according to Tillotson's
definition, Gle that does not know those
things which are OF Use and necessary for
HIM to know, is but au ignorant man,
whatever he may know beside
The book has evidently cost the laborsof
years, and it has packed within its pages as
much reliable information on as large a
variety of subjects ms would render the
book valuable in connection with nearly all
the requirements of every day life.
The dictionary form has Dcen adopted,
thus making 1t accessible at any moment
upon any subject the reader may desire
to refer to, and where one set Of facts
cross references have been inserted to avoid
repetition, in order that either may he con-
suited readily when needed. \ special in
deX has been prepared at the end of the

1t isa useful and important volume that

Several years since there was in Rutland
county professional man, who, besides
being considerable of a wag, was quite a
hunter, fisherman, and very fond of carly
vegetables. Did his ncignbors vines bear
ripe tomatoes before his, some say they
found their way to his table. lie was so
fond of them, that sometimes nice, ripe
red peppers were found cut up with his
tomatoes. One season he concluded to have
some early corn, and started some in q hot
house, transplanied it in his garden. Early
in June it was some two feet high. He
took pride in exhibiting ii to his neighbors
and inviting them to eat SIrein corn 6 Mil, III
sional call out of town aud employed Il ma
tive of the Green Isle TO hoe his corn dur
ing his absence Before he left he told
the man to thin the cOrn--to have no more
than four stalks in bill. Upon his return
home he proceeded to examine his pits
and found his gardener had pulled up all
the large stalks, and left only few of in
ferior growth.
Says he, "lIore you gawky Irishman.
what did you pull up all those large stalks
for"
"Faith and be shure to give the little
ones a chance to grow :"
