Until few years ago a bridge spanncd
the chasm al the point where it is narrow
est This bridge was suffered to decay
and was finally disused. There remained
of it at last only Il single squared girler
Over this mad-cap could sometimes ven

the insanity of youth. One dark night Il
clergyman ON horseback approached it, lie
had been absent abroad for several years
When he had been familiar with this sec
ton of country the Ausable bridge was the
usual avenue OF approach TO his home lie
knew nothing of its subsequent ruin. Upon
drawing near it in the darkness he conf
IDENTIFY spurred his horse onward. When
the horses hoofs struck the single beam
which remained of the bridge, the rider
sought to penetrate the darkness, but could
not. Dropping the rcins upon the neck of
his brave stced he abandoned his thoughts
to revcrie He was passing over the wild
gorge of the Ausable, with which he had
been acquainted in youth and early man
hood, and where he had INDUCED in many
perilous adventure long before the chasm
had been prepared by art for the easy ac-
cess Of the timorous visitor. How many
changes he might find upon his return
old faces buried, old landmarks removed,
old houses fallen into decay Before he
had concluded this waking dream the hoofs
of his trusty animal no longer echoed upon
the bridge, hut struck the solid ground On
the other side. He was safely over, with
out nm ntnation that he had rsked the
smallest danger. Not until he had reached
his home, and told ny what route he had
come, did he learn OF his tremendous peril.
The next morning, when he reviewed, by
the light OF day, the lhrcad-like pathway
over which he had gone, his knees smotc
together, and he uttered a prayer of thanks
giving for delivcrancc from n horrible death.

is burden, since the grasshoppers of
Minnesota compelled the House to pass a
curious bill, 1t appears that for two years
the grasshoppers have so devastated several
counties in Minnesota and Iowa that the
settlers are impoverished, and the earth is
now so full of grasshoppers that the soil
cannot be titled for at least one year A
bill was passed permitting the settlers in all
these counties to abandon their land for
one year, without prejudice TO their rights
under the presumption laws, so that they
may support their families elsewhere.

PUTTING UP FuRs. The best method of
putting up furs is in gum camphor. Take
four ounces, break ii up in pieces about the
size of walnut, roll them up in paper,
and put one piece in each corner of the
box. BE sure and whip the furs with n
rattan, so that there can be no moth in them
when put ,way. Place one layer of news
paper over the iurs, then put the cover n
and paste the edges of the box tight. 1t
would be an additional security TO wrap the
entire box in brown paper, and paste up all
the seams. This will insure any turs through
the season.
