Killed.

We have been informed of transaction
that occurred on Thursday last near Green
wood, which bears strong evidence of muir
der. On Thursday afternoon two men on
horseback passed through Greenwood, in
curing the way to some place in Texas.
They received directions and proceeded
down the road in the direction given. About
a mile and a half from Green wood, near
the plantation of Mrs. Scott two gentle
men, Messrs. Ogiivie and Carter, heard sew
eral shots fred. but could see nothing ex-
cept maa, stoutly built. jump on horse
and rejoln!ng companion, ride away at
gallop. This was reported in Greenwood
that evening. The next morning friday
it was ascertained that an old colored
crippled man, living in the vicinity of where
the shooting was done, was missing. A
search was made and his dead body was
found not far from his house, An investiga-
ton proved that he had been shot through
the head and apparently instantly killed.
A coroner's inquest was held upon the re-
mains, the result Of which we have not vet
learned SouIl lwes.ern- TELEGRAM, .

The Blind Girl and Her Bible.

\ little girl who loved the Bible dearly be-
came blind, and when she could no longer

friend gave her New Testament, printed
for the use OF the blind, in raised letters.

make out Never was child more de
lighted than she 1t was touching thing
to see her, every moment she could spare,
passing her fingers slowly over the page, as
her lips silently uttered the precious words.
But her touch was not quick enough for her;
her finger ends, poor child were rough, and
sometimes she had 10 stop long time over
a word. So one day she took penknife and
lightly pared away the skin from Just the
tips OF her fingers, hoping that so her feeling
would be more tender, and she could get on
faster. What was her distress in finding.
after few days, that her skin had grown
again, but so hard that she could not feel the
shape of single letter She tried and tried,
but all in vain then, bursting into am agony
Of team, She pressed the much-loved pages 10
her lips, 10 bid them as she thought last
farewell. But as she did so, she suddenly
found out that her lips had the feeling which
her fingers had lost. The letters, the words,
were quite plain ! cannot tell you her ioy
that she still could read And hundreds Of
times since the blessed book has been held
10 her lips, not in sorrow for a farewell kiss.
but in thankfulness and joy, that even she
can read the words OF everlasting life.

What wondrous consolation comes to us
in those blessed hours when the body lies
resting The spirit roams at will, nor dis
lance, space or time, can separate US from
our beloved. The treasures snatched away by
death are ours again Forms only dust to
day, are with us as in bygone years. The
same tint of hair, the same shade of eyes,
the same rich coloring OF lip, and expanse Of
brow; the same expression. The little pc
ouliarities which endeared them to our
hearts, make dreaming blessed reality.
How apt we are to excaim, when waking
Oh, could dream the same dream again !"
Bereaved mother, you are comforted when
your baby nestles in your arms again; the
little fingers thrill You when wandering as
of old The wee face breaks into smiles at
your caress You would hold baby thus
for ever Alas you must awake--awake
10 find an empty cradle, empty arms, and a
longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams than in
realities. The awakening embitters both
My sister, my brother have you awakened
from the sunny dreams Of youth Have
friends forsaken you? Has disease claimed
you for his prey Because that was so
bright, and this so dark, will you allow your
life to be a failure II you cannot be what
You would, will you not be what You can
Can you kindle ashes Win YOU live

An OnininIl.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for
the truth Of the following assertion though
we copy it for the benefit of the sex"
Gradually, but all too gradually, are wo-
men learning to see the dress question in all
its varied aspects. Surely if slowly, they are
recognizing the fact that when once they
outgrow it, it win forever be their slave.
The class OF people who have ruled the
world through this weakness of the sex are
terrified at the characterization Of the few of
the sex who have already shown signs
of unmistakabe rebellion. And concessions
enough have been made TO them to convince
them that enlightened womanhood will one
day overthrow the tyrant fashion, and sub
ftitute in its stead whatever is available,
suitable and proper The time will have
arrived when mistress and maid no longer
vie with each other in overlooking their
heads with excess of millinery when dresses
viii cease to be the mops for mclean side
walks; when lightness and looseness shall
be the rule for every garment worm and
when health and hygieue shall 90 hand in
hand with style and fashion, and be the
arbiters, and not the slaves, Of its caprice
and whims."

Recently little red squirrel, having been
pestered considerably by the lads above the
saw-mill of Eben Webster < Co., on March
Point, Orono, took refuge for life by running
up the large brick chimney near the mill
by clinging 10 the corner he kept foothold
so well that he succeeded in reaching the
very top. Here he found himself upon the
iron cap one hundred and FIVE and one
fourth feet from the ground. As more and
more of the waste stuff from the mill was
added to the furnace the chimney became
hotter and hotter and his situation became
more and more dsagreeahle. lie tried 10
decend upon the side of the chimney, but
after getting down few feet gave it up
turned about and went back BY this time
the chimney top had became so hot that he
must leave it, so after looking about care
fully for few minutes he evidently made up
his mind that he must leap to save his life,
and this he did spreading out his legs and
balancing himself so that lac struck the
ground fifty feet from the base uninjurcd,
aud Immediately scampered off and sccreted
himself under pile OF boards little dis
lance away.

Relation with God.


If there is nothing but God and nature.
and God himself has no relations to nature
save Just TO FIJI it and keep it on its way
then, being ourselves a part of nature, we
are only a link, each one in a chain let down
into a well, where nothing else can ever
touch us but the next link above Oh, it is
horrible Our soul freezes at the thought :
We want, We must have, something better
"a social footing, personal, and free, and
flexible, and conscious relation with our
Cod that he should cross over TO us, or
bring us over the dark Styx of nature unto
himself to love him, to obtain his recogni-
ton, to receive his manifestation, to walk in
his guidance, and be raised to that higher
footing of social understanding and spiritual
concourse with him, where our Unborn afiin-
tiles find their center and rest. And what
We earnestly want, we know that We shall
assuredly find. The prophecy is in US, and
whether we call ourselves prophets or not
we shall certainly 60 on to publish it, 1t is
the inevitable, first fact of natural conviction
with us. Do We not know, each one, that
he is more than thing or wheel, and being
consciously man, a spirit, a creature super
natural, will he hesitate TO claim place
with such, and claim for such place
