Getting Ria of the Spirits.

When spiritualism first made its
appearance in the village of =, old
Deacon Isaacs, a wealthy man, who
had stood by the church for nearly
three score years, was exceedingly
bitter against all believers in the
"devil's word" as he called it, and
denounced spiritualists and spirit
ualism in no very gentle language.
Imagine the Deacon's anger then,
when six months afierward ne found
it had worked its way into his own
family, and not only were his wife
and daughters believers, but one of
them was medium, and possessed
full power to converse with the spir-
its of those who had departed to that
borne from which no traveller re-
turns
Deacon Isaacs was mad-dread-
fully mad-but he had wit enough
not show it, and he bore the taunts
of the ungodly with q meek spirit.
He knew it would be useless to de-
clare war for Mrs. Isaacs alone had
always proved more than match
for him, he was sure to be defeated.
He must 'circumYent the crittsr.' as
he expressed it, and to that end he
set himself to work. He was a man
of sound judgment, and his worldly
experience Of fifty years was not
thrown away. From the day it first
came to knowledge that his wife and
daughters were spiritualists,' he new
er spoke q word against nor did he
ever allude to it, except in general
terms in his morning prayers: but
anyone could see that it troubled
him for he was absent minded, his
eyes wandered restlessly, and his
countenance looked careworn.
The Deacon witnessed one or two
'sittings' at his own house, and was
satisfied that if he possessed little
more knowedge he could get rid of
the annoyance. So one morning he
started for the city, determined to
thoroughly investigate the subject
before he returned. After visiting
two of the most popular mediums,
and paying his money, he returned
home satisfied that he could see
through it. There was q sitting at
the Deacon's house on the night he
returned, and his daughter Mary
the medium-invited the Deacon to
take a scat at the table, which, to her
qualification, was accepted. The
spirits were in good tune and so ex-
ceedingly communicative that the
Deacon was induced to ask a few
questions, which werereadily answer
ed, and wife and daughters in costa
eies at the thought that father would
yet be a believer, urged the Dsa- :
con on in his inquiries.

Railroad Incident.

The passengers in a car on the
Tusearawas Valley Railroad recently
witnessed a singular incident. A
blooming young woman, who had
been riding for considerable dis
tance, complained to a fellow-trRv-
eler seated near that she was suffer
ing excruciating torments from the
aching of q deeayed tooth. Not far
distant down the isle there sat a
dentist who heard her remark, and
noticed the frequent application of
her handkerchief to her damask
cheek. Leaving his seat he came
toward the maiden, and informed
her that she had better have the
troublesome tooth pulled. 81 intend
to do so, sir, as soon as I reach the
city," was the reply. Il am a den
tist, and will take out your tooth
right here for one dollar" said the
professional man in a joking tone,
not imagining that his proposition
would be accepted. The girl was,
however, enduring too much pain to
be timid, and Immediately drew out
her pocket book and faunted q dol
lar bill in the face of the astonished
stranger. He could not then refuse,
and proceeded to the end of the car, !,
opened his valise, drew forth his in
strument, and soon had the satisfac-
ton of placing three Of her teeth in
the hands of the damsel, having re-
moved those which might cause fu-
ture trouble, as well as the present

New Counterfoits.

The public are cautioned against
the reception of two dollar counter
felt notes of the following national
banks in New York, which are now
in circulation First National Bank
The engraving is well done the
shading under the title Of the bank
is irregular the general appearance
of the note is likely to deceive.
Ninth National Bank-The engrav-
ing is well executed, and the print
ing and paper are very good. In the
genuine the title of the bank reads,
"Ninth National Bank of the City of
New York !" in the counterfeit the
word "the' is omitted. The genu-
inc note has a convex line over the
word "pay" and over the word "bear-
er," both of which curves are omit
ted in the counterfeit. The engrav-
ing on both sides is darker than in
the genuine. Marine National Bank.
The imitation is calculated to de.
ceive. The title in the counterfeit
reads, "Marine National Bank oi
New York ;" in the genuine it reads,
HMarine National Bank of the City
of New York" National Shoe and
Leather Bank-the engraving is well
executed, and the paper and print
ing are very good. National Bank
of the State of New York-The shad
ing of the title Of the bank is irregu-
lar, but the general appearance of the
imitation is much like the real note.
National bank of fcommerce-In this
case, also, the shading under the
title of the bank is irregular. The
engraving is inferior to the genuine.
There is also a five dollar counterfeit
in circulation, in which the shading
under the title of the bank is uneven

THE BRIDES STORY.

When was but country lass,
Now fifteen years ago,
lived where flows the Oyerpseck
Through meadows wide and low;
There first, when sllies were bending blue
And blossoms blowing free,
saw the ragged little boy,
Who went to school with me.
His homespun coat was frayed and worn,
With patches covered Ger,
His hat-ah, such hat as that
Was never seen before;
The boys and girls, when first ne came,
They shouted in their glee,
And ieered the ragged little boy
Who went to school with me.
His father was labOring man,
And mine was highly born,
Our people held both him and his
In great contempt and scom-
They said should not stoop to own
Aplaymate such as he,
The bright-eyed, ragged little boy
Who went to school with me.
Yet spite of all the sneers around
From children better dressed,
Ny heart went out to meet the heart
That beat within his breast,
His look was fond, his voice was low,
And strange as it may be,
loved the ragged little boy
Who went to school with me.
For years they had forgotten him,
Bat when again we met,
Bis looks, his voice, hisgentle ways
Remained in memory yet;
They SAW alone the man Of mark,
But could only see
The bright-eyed ragged little boy
Who went to school with me.
He had remembered me, It seemed,
As remembered him;
Nor time, nor honors, in his mind
The cherished past could dim;
Young love had grown to older lover
And SO to day you see
wed the ragged little boy
Vine went to school with me.

MOTHERS BOYS.

Yes, know there are stains on my carpet
The trace Of small muddy, boots;
And see your fair tapestry glowing
And sPotless with blossoms and fruits.
And know that my walls are disfgured
With prints of small fingers and hands;
And see that your own household whiteness
And fresh in its purity stands.
Yes know that my black walnut is battered
And dented by many small heels,
While your own polished stairway, all perfect
Its smooth shining surface reveals!
ana know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys;
While your own is in the dAintiest order,
Onharmed b. the presence Of boys.
ana know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in your OWE unmolested,
And dream the soft quiet wayl
Yes, know have jackets that wear ont
And buttons that never wiz stay:
While you can embroider at lei sure.
And learn the pretty art Of "crochet.s
And know there are lessons OF spelling,
Which must be patient to hear;
While YOU may sit down to your novel,
Or turn the last magazine near.
Yes, know there are four little bedsides
Where must stand watchful, each night:
While you may 90 out In your carriage,
And flash in your dresses so bright
Now, think I'm neat little woman
like my house orderly, too;
And l am fond of dainty belongings
Yet would not change places with youi
No!-keepyo fair hsme, with its order.
Its freedom from trouble and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure;-
But give me my fosr splendid boys.

Well, ask papa.
No, never mind him. Wen gel

And he went around telling every
body what he saw.
Pm going to marry that girl.
The preparations continued three
weeks, required by law to have the
bans published in the churches.
Fishes were caught, stores for the
feast laid IL, beer brewed, and whis-
ky purchased. Wedding jollifica-
tions are indulged in for a week.
This couple were married. They
went from the church to the house,
snd the bridesmaids lockedt the bride
in the room. The groom raped at
the door.
How much will you give to come
in.
Two cows and So.
That is not enough.
Three COWS and $40.

more than that.
Five COWS and $2S was the fina1
offer, which was accepted.

CHIPS.

Empty barrels are plenty, and so are dry
chips after ths winters chopping. Why not
pu. the two together, while the chips are
clean and bright, and stow them away in
some ut-buihiing against time o'need?
''Smiling as basket of chips" must have got
its meaning in the kitchen. where some bella
ted housewife, pestered with dull fire, was
trying to get an early breakfast. Chips care
fully housed, may be expected to yield fifteen
or twenty smiles to the barrel. A pile of
chips is always litter heap; bin of chips is
a.sliyery mass-like keg of nails-for soft
fingers but chips in barrels sacked three aud
four deep, are always ready for strong hands
to dump in the kindling box.
