SINGULAR FREAK OF ELECTRICITY
On Monday evening, during the preva,
lence of thunder gust from cloud
which raised in the Northwest, the
electric fluid entered the house OF Judge
Brent, through the front door, which
was open at the time, aud passing the
length of the front passage aud up
stairs, became attracted by the bell
wires, which are enclosed in a tin tube
let into the plastering of the wall. 1t
followed the wires along, complete
ly consuming them, until COM
ING in contact with more wires, 1t ceas-
ed TO consume them, but continued It's
course, conducted by the wires to the
kitchen, where it created much conster-
nation among the habitues, and with a
parting salute, in the way OF sweet
bells tangled" to tune not heretofore
heard, it passed out the open window
1t made things very lively at one time.
The house was Illuminated by a brilliant
light and the air full of explosions as OF
musketry. Yet withal no harm was
done except that wb'cl the bell hanger
and the plasterer can speedily repair
The house is thoroughly covered with
lightning rods of the most approved
pattern and which are in perfect order,
and it is a wonder they did not attract
the electricity.-Port Tobacco (hd')

BJ~ The Grand Gift Concert OF the
Valley Educational Association will
come off at Edinburg, Shenandoah
county, on the 18th of September.
Only a few more days remain in which
to purchase tickets, as the books will be
closed on the 1st if possible. Tickets
at one dollar are within the reach OF
all, and the object appeals to disinteres-
ted charity for patronage. The man
ayers are energetic and reliable. 1t
will be fairly conducted beyond all
doubt. The chances for drawing are
gres .er than ever offered by lotteries
and the price of tickets less than we
have ever known as compared with
gifts to be distributed. See your agent
at once if you desire to invest. Only a
few more days remain. Be prompt
or You will lose the opportunity OF aid
ing a laudible enterprise and of receiv-
ing a gift perhaps five thousand times
the investment. Such assurances OF
fair dealing as this home enterprise
offers can not be given by the foreign
lottery schemers.

Why NOT SCccEssFUI~-The young
man marries and takes house, which
he proceeds to furnish twice as expen-
sively as he can afford, and then his
wife instead of striving to help him earn
a livelihood, or doing her own work,
must have hired servant to help her
spend his limited earnings. Ten years
afterwards you will find him struggling
under double load of debts and chill
dren, wondering why the luck was al
ways against him while his friends re-
gret his unhappy destitution of financial
ability. Had they from the first been
frank and honest, lie need not have
been so uulucky. The world is full Of
people who cant imagine why they
don't prosper Ill their neighbors, when
the real obstacle is not i'll banks or tar
ifs, in bad public policy or hard times,
Jut in their own extravaganza and
needless ostentation.

AsINCiDENT OF THE CRUSADE.

4 speaker from the midst of the tenn
perance movement in Ohio related in
the Fulton St. prayer meeting the fol-
lowing instance, which passed under bis
notice AS band of praying women
were proceeding through one OF the
back streets in GAINESVILLE, o., on Their
~ay to certain saloon, one ofthe band
observed leaning over the window sill
in the upper story of wretched tene-
ment house young girl gazing visit
fully at the company rs they were pass
ing on the sidewalk, beneath her. a
lady beckoned to hen and asked her TO
ioin them. She withdrew from the
window, and in few moments issued
from the main door, leaning on crutch.
She was very pale, and apparently suf-
fering much. Her clothes were torn
and ragged, but withal very neat. She
kept up with the band as well as she
could, and when they turned into
saloon not far from her home, she fol-
lowed them. The keeper was very
much displeased, and his reception OF
the ladies way anything but cordial. In
reply to their inquiries as to whether
they might pray in his saloon, he thot
people had better mind their own busl-
ness, as he did his, and not go around
and disturb honest men in their pursuit
of bread and butter He said that the
liquor traffic was his way of making a
living. and did no one any harm.
During the dialogue that had taken
place between the saloon keeper and
the ladies, the little crippled girl had
taken a back stand But when he said
that be had never done any one any
harm, she quickly hobbled forward, and
W tn eyes flashing fire, she pointed her
little, bony finger at him and said :
Did you say you never did any one
any harm Look at me If 1t had
never been for the vile po son You sold
my poor father, he never would have
thrown me down stairs and made me a
cripple for life. No harm, you say II
my father had not been crazy after
drinking here at this bar, my poor, dear
mother would not have been SO cruelty
bea,en and tortured, until at last she
died broken hearted, twenty years be
fore her time. Call you this no harm!
At this juucture, trembling, halt
palsied ragged, dirty looking man who
had been standing near the door, listen
ing intensely, broke through the crowd,
and fell on bis knees, eXclaiming : Its
true it's too true have murdered
my wife and made my child 4 cripple.
After years of iptemperance, | am now
good for nothing but to fill paupers
grave. Oh !" he continued, falling fiat
on the floor, pray for me, ladies, pray
for me.
The effect of this spectacle can be
better imagined than described. The
lookers-on were awed The ladies were
all in tears. The keeper was touched,
aud bic tears rolled over bis cheeks.
AT last he said, "Have | been instru
mental in SO much sorrow, and all this
in one family only; | will never sell an
other drop of liquor as long as live. |
surrender; here a my keys" Amid
the shouts, tears and hymns Of rejoicing
the Ii uor barrels were rolled into the
street and emptied; and now those who
look for that little saloon will find it
shut up, with little white signs, "To
Let" all over the doors and windows.

THE TEAR.
FROM BrRoN's POEMS.

When friendship or Love
Our sympathies move,
When truth in glance should appear,
The lips may beguile
With a dimple or smile.
But the test of affections Tear.
Too oft is smile
But the hypocrites vile,
To mask detestaiion or fear;
Give me the soft sigh,
Whilst the soul-telling eye
Is dimm'd for time with Tear.
Mild charitys glow,
To us mortals below,
Shows The soul from barbarity clear
Compassion will melt
Where this virtue is felt,
And its dew is diffused in Tear.
The man doom'd to sail
With the blast of the gale,
Through pillows Atlantic to steer,
AS lie DtuuS " Si thS ""'N
Which may soon be his grave.
The green sparkles bright with lear
The soldier braves death
For fanciful wealth
In Glorys romantic career;
But he raises the foe,
When in battle laid low,
And bathes every wound with a Tear.
If with high-bounding pride
lie return to his bride,
Renouncing the gore-crimsoned spear,
All his tolls are repaid
When, embracing the maid,
From her eyelid he kisses the Tear
Sweet scene of my youth !!
Seat of Friendship and Truth,
Where love chased each fast-feetingyear
10th to leave thee, | mourned,
For a last look turned,
But thy sp.re was scarce seen through
Tear.
Though my VOWS | can pour
To my Mary no more,
My Mary to Love once so DEAR
In the shade of her bower
remember the hour
She rewarded those vows with lear,
By another possest,
May she live ever blest I!
Her name still my heart must revere;
With a sigh | resign
What / once thought was mine,
And forgive her deceit with Tear.
Ye friends of my heart,
Ere from you depart,
This hope to my breast is most near :
If again we shall meet
In this rural retreat,
May we meet as we part, with lear
When my soul wings her flight
To the regions of night,
And my corse shall recline on its bier,
AS you pass by the tomb
Where my ashes consume,
Oh moisten their dust with Tear.
May no marble bestow
The splendor of wo
Which the children Of vanity rear;
No fiction of fame
Shall blazon my name
All I ask-all | wish-is Tear.
