How to Stop a Paper.

The following from one of our ex-
changes so fully and clearly expresses
our views upon the subject that we copy
it without comment:
"Ysu have an undoubted right to stop
a newspaper whenever you are dispos-
ed, upon payment of all arrearages. Do
not hesitate to do so on account of any
tenderness of feeling for the editor.
Don't you suppose he would stop buy
ing sugar of you, or meat, dry goods
etc., if he thought he was not getting
his moneys worth? And when you
discontinue paper, do so manfully.
Don't be so spiteful as to throw it back
to the postmaster with contemptueus,
Il don't want it any longern" and
have "refused" written on the margin,
and have the paper returned to the ed
itor. No gentleman ever stopped pa
per in that way, no matterIf his head is
covered with gray hairs that should be
honorable. Ifyou do not wish longer
to receive a newspaper, write note to
the editor like a man, saying Eso-and
be sure that arrearages are paid. This
is the way to stop paper"

New Game.

The Chester Republican describes a
popular game now in vogue in that
town. IL is called s'Egg Hunting" !"
and requires three persons to make it a
success. A knowing chap offers to bet
he can hide, on the person of one Of the
bystanders-whoi is not so knowing
an egg which cannot be found by any
one except the hider and the person
upon whom it is concealed, and gener-
ally the ''henberry" is placed in the hat
of the person selected. "'May / thump
him as hard as 1 please?'' A reusing
slap on the top of the soft hat breaks
the egg, and the innocent victim is led
to understand the Joke at the same mo-
ment. On Monday last, enc gentleman,
was made the principal figure in the
game, was compelled to use a bottle of
Lubin's Extaet on his locks-for, al
though the joke was new to him, the
egg was trifle too old.

A Strange Story.

The Clinton Republican publishes the
following:
"Mrs. Mary Ferer, widowed lady,
residing in this city, has Bible in her
possession with which a curious incl
dent is connected. During a terrible
hurricane which passed over some por-
tiens of Westmoreland county in the
summer OF 1S60,this Bible was carried a
distance of four and sne-half miles by
the force of the wind, and lodged in a
pine sapling. The book was lying
across limb of a sapling opened at the
122d Psalm, which is nearly the exact
middle of the book. Not leaf was
torn, not scratch to be seen, save
where it fell on the branch, and there
only slight impression made on the
leaf. Mrs. Ferer was thrown down and
had her arm broken in three places by
the same storm. The story comes to US
duly authenticated, and though it
seems scarcely probable, it is undoubt-
edly true"

How a Hotel Keeper knows
an Honest Man.

A New York hotel keeper has discov.
ed an infallible rule for determining the
honesty of his customers. He says:
have made it rule in my heuse, when.
ever a man wants room and has nc
baggage, to demand pay in advance as
is usual. If he manifests no objection
and puts his hand in his pocket fol
money, l tell him that it is all right
that he can pay just as well when he
goes away. That kind of man always
pays. But there is another fellow who
when informed of the rule, pretends to
be very indignant insisting that he is a
gentleman, and not in the habit of hav-
ing his name questioned or his honesty
doubted. In such 4 case, inveriably
insist on the production of the funds,
for know If don't get them then l
never should get them in the world.
Men who talk about their honor and
assume to be insulted when requested
to pay, can be depended upon for first
class dead beats.

A String OF Pearly Proverbs.

No cross no crown.
Out of debt out of danger.
Far from court far from care.
Take away fuel take away flame.
Forecast is better than work hard.
I The masters eye makes the horse fat.
He that goes borrowing goes sorrow
ing.
All are not hunters that blow the
horn.
An ODE 1ient wife commands her hus-
band.
The disconnected man finds no easy
chair.
Gold goes in at any gate except Heav-
ems.
Where the knot is loose the string
slippeth.
He that handles thorns shall prick his
fingers.
When the fox breaches beware of your
geese.
Less of your courtesy and more of
your purse.
He that will eat the kernel must crack
the nut.
Friendship is love, without either
flowers or vail.
To those whose god is honor, dis
grace alone is sin.
Wherever the speech is corrupted, so
is the mind.
A laugh is worth hundred groans
in any market.
Diligence is fair fortune and indus
try good estate.
To gentleman every woman is a
lady, in the right of her sex.
When the tree is fallen every man
goeth to it with his hatchet.
Many mans vices have at first been
nothing worse than good qualities run

A Love Story.

He was young, he was fair, and ht
parted his hair like the average beau
in the middle; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be told, he
played like fiend on the fiddle. Bar
ring his voice, he was everything nice,
and his heart was so loving and tender
that he always grew pale when he trod
on the tail of the cat lying down by the
fender. He clerked in store, and the
way that he tore off calico, jeans and
brown sheeting would have tickled a
calf, and made the brute laugh in the
face of quarterly meeting. He cut
quite dash with darling mustache,
which he learned to adore and cheris sh :;
for one girl had said, while she dropped
her proud head, that 'twould kill her to
see the thing perish. On Sunday he'd
search the straight road to the church,
unheeding the voice of the scorner;
and demurely he sat, like young tab
by cat, with the saints in the corner.
He sang like bird, and his sweet voice
was heard fairly Juggling away at long
meter; and we speak but the truth,
when we say that this youth could out
sing hungry mosquito.
She was young, she way fair, and she
scrambled her hair like the average
belle of the city; she was proud, but
not bold, yet the truth must be told,
the way she chewed wax was pity.
Barring this vice she was everythin
nice, and the world admired her hustle;
and the Fayetteville boys, being calmed
by the noise, walked miles to hear it
rustic. She cut quite a swell, did this
wax-chewing belle, and men flocked in
crowds to meet her; but she gave them
the shirk, for she loved the young
clerk, who sung like hungry mssqui-
to. So she hemmed and she hawed ,and
she sighed and she ''chawed," till her
heart and her jaws were broken; then
she walked by his store, while he stood
at the door awaiting some love token.
She raised up her eyes with mock
surprise, and tried to enact the scorner;
but, to tell the truth she grinned at the
youth who loved the amen corner.
They met-alas! What
came to pass was soft and sweet and
precious; they wooed, they cooed, he
talked, she chewed-O, how they loved,
good gracious! They had to part, he
rose to start; her grief can not be paint
ed; these are the facts; she swal-
lowed the wax then screamed, then |
choked then tainted. Her pa appeared /;
her beau, quite scared, rushed out to get |
some water; the watchdog spied his
tender hide and bit him where he
"oughter." The tale is sad the sequel
stern-so thinks the youth thus bitten.
He sings no more as oft of yore-he
gave that girl the mitten.
She pined apace, her pretty face
looked slender and detected; her father
kind but somewhat blind, beheld her
and reflected. His income tax he spent
for waX-she smiled and called him
clever. She went to work, forgot that
clerk, and "chawed" in bliss foreverl

solcmnly. Semething-no sound no
motion-drew the tireless young watch
, er again to the bedside, and in an in
stant she turned with a low, startle,
} cry. Marion went forward trembling
and Joe limped to her side. Througl
all the storm and darkness, the watch
ing and closed doors, one had gone on
from them unnoticed.
A strange, weird night that was. TIL,
lonely little one forgot her burden o
womanliness in Marion's arms at length
lying with wet lashes but quiet face.
"You see, Pm most sure it's bettel
for grandpa than the prizes-only il
leaves me out, and he didn't ever NEAR
to do that" she whispered.
Drearily the dark, heavy hours drag.
ged by, until the seemingly intermin.
able night yielded to the gray dawn.
Then, for the first time, the lids droop-
ed over the child's brown eyes, and she
slept.
"Joe," said Marion softly, "what is
her name? not really Dosie 2"
"Don't know. Yes, 1 do, too-The-
ordorer."
TheodOra! Gift of God-to whom? 1t
was partly that scarcely noticed little
verse at the inn, partly that question:
ing in the woed, and partly all that had
come since that made Marion's answer
to the thought closer drawing of her
arms around the the slender figure.
The tide had turned that night, and was
flowing outward from self to others.
The sun came out bright with the ear
ly morning, and lighted up the waste
of snow; but it was noon before on anx-
ious party from the inn reached the lit
tie cabin.
" 1 want Dosie with me always, IA
ther," Marion had said when the story
was told.
And he answered, GAS you please,
child" just as he would have done had
it been a new necklace or trip to the
continent that she had asked for.
And so day later, when Joe had
been comfortably settled-fer he was
just, this man of bonds and contracts,
and did all that he could to recompense
the body-and there hadbeen a grave
made near the old cabin, Marion rode
back to.the city with Theodora's little
hand fast in hers. She knew how glad
ly she received this little one, and al
ready through her heart the remainder
'f the sentense was thrilling prophetic
sweetness-"Receiveth me-.
