The next day he sent after little farmers

himself had once or twice employed to accom-
pany them on their fishing expeditions, and
asked him if he knew Elsie Deane, down at
the village.
"In course do," was the reply. "Why, 1

Elsies my Sunday school teacher, she is"
"Is she, really said Charles. "Then can

to do it so that nobody shall know any thing

that ?"
"Dunno," said the boy, staring at him in

"But couldn't you meet her some time when
her mother was not there ?" suggested Charles,
impatiently.
II might at sunday-school," said the boy.
"Why, yes, of course you could; that would
be just the very thing"
"But that won't be for three days"
"Never mind-I suppose that would do.
The message is written in here" said Charles,
taking sealed note from his pocket, "and l
want her very much to get it safe; but at the
same time I do not wish anybody to know
about it but herself Now do you understand

me was out after hares, on the Squires land,
and he telled me he'd kill me if let on about

never said nothing about it; so you see l

"No doubt, when it concerns yourself" said
Charles, amused at the illustration. "But,
see here, if you'll carry this letter cleverly,
and not let anybody see you give it to her,
I'll pay you we'll, boy. Wouldn't you like
that?"
A broad grin testified assent
"Id give you shilling, or maybe two" J"
said Charles. "But mind, if you don't do

excitement. "Hooray! Give us the letter,
master; don't be afeard, I'll take it safe, and
nobody but Elsie'll see it."
After still further impressing upon him the
necessity for extreme caution, and being salts
fed from his answers that there was not much
risk in trusting him, Charles delivered over
the note into his keeping. The urchin stuck
it carefully into the ragged lining of his hat ;
nodded with an expression of great sagacity,
as if to denote his thorough understanding of
the Importance of the trust; and raced off,
leaving Charles to mediate on the probable
success of his mission, and read a dissertation
to himself on the absurdity of his taking so
much trouble about anything.

fected. "And yet that girl is pretty enough

DEAD, But NOT BUR1ED.-When friend
dies and is buried, there is an end of him.
We miss him for space out Of our daily ex-
istence; we mourn for him by degrees that
become mercifully less y; we cling to the
blessed hope that we shall be reunited ir some
more perfect sphere; but so far as this Garth
is concerned, there's an end Of him. Howev-
er near and dear he was, the time arrives
when he does not form part of our daily
thoughts he ceases to be even an abstraction.
We 20 no more with flowers and tears into
the quiet cemetery; only the rain and the
snow fakes fall there we leave it tor fingers
of spring to deck the neglected mound
But when our friend vanishes unaccounta-
bly, in the midst of a crowded city, or goes off
on sea-voyage and is never heard of again,
his memory has singular tenacity. He may
be to all intents and purposes dead to US, but
we have not lost him. The ring of the door,
bell at midnight may be his ring the ap-
preaching footstep may be his footstep; the
unexpected letter with foreign postmark may
be from his hand. He haunts US as the dead
never can.

Two Tugs Attempt TO Tow Al
Island.

From tn. Duluth Tribune, New. l2.]
On Tuesday last, strange sight was
to be seen in our inner harbor, a few
rods below the canal. 1t was nothing
more nor less than the attempt Of two
strong tugs to tow An island. nearly
two acres in extent, out into the lake
All who have ever visited our city have
admired the charming little islands,
heavily covered with trees, shrubbery
and foliage, with which our bay is dot
ted, and very skeptical have they been
when told that those islands are float
ing islands" and that during very Sc
we're !. winds they not unfrequently
change their locations. and that
during the past few years, several
of those which formerly adorned our
bay, have been driven across the sheet
Of water, and lodged against and grown
to- Minnesota Point. These state
ments though rather marvellous. were

of last Saturday night, an island en-
bracing nearly two acres in extent be-
ing torn from it's moorings near Rice's
Point, on the western side Of the bay,
and carried clear across the bay to Min.
nesota Point, where it lodged just this
side of the dry docks of W. W. Allen
& Co. On Tuesday, two tugs en-
deayered to tow this island out
through the canal into the lake, but
after working for long time, they gave
it up, we believe, as bad job-at least
We notice that it is still there. a This
island is a kind of DOGGY tamarack

LET Us HAVE PEACE.

Our old friend Wise, Of the Mankato
Reoaeso, with whom we are happy to
generally agree, seems to think that in
the union of the Democrats, Liberal
Republicans and Anti-Monopolists, the
Democrats have not been treated fairly.
We beg leave to differ with him. The
entire State and Congressional tickets
voted for this fall,-WHkin, Lochren,
Wilson, Cox and Waite, we're each and
every mothers son Of them old line
Democrats. The Liberals and Anti.
honopolists got nothing. We don't
complain Of that arrangement, but we
think it hardly fair to cry out that the
Democrats did not get their share
when they got sill there was. Fair
play is pretty thing" and men can
hardly be expected to furnish their
votes, receive nothing and then b.
kicked for their pains. Mr.. Wise says
very emphalically that he wants nothing
more to do with the Anti-Monopolists
That spirit would very soon set the Re-
pubicans back to their old 10000 ma
jority, with so majority IN the Legisla.
ture.
No, Mr.. Wise; let us have mutual
liberation, forbearance and justice.
Suppose you drive the Liberals and
Anti-Monopolists into q third party.
wherein arc you benehtedi And vow
know you can never make q man love
you or vote for you BY kicking him. y

but such iutolerant utterances, as those

Republicans and used to taunt those
who really desire harmony and union.

THE SARATOGA COMBINATION.
What q Representative Of the Grand
Trunk OF Canada Says..A Poor
Time to Raise Freight Rates.

Time to Raise Freight Rates.
New YORK, Nov. 17.-Representativcs
Of the Grand Trunk railway met in the
President rooms at the Grand Central
depot yesterday to confer on the SUBJ
ect of their interchange of traffic at
Buffalo and on kindred topics.
General Manager Joseph Hickson OF
the Grand Trunk said he had not come
to New Nork to make an arrangement
connected with the Saratoga compact.
The Grand trunk railway company
would not enter into that contract.
That might be considered as
settled. The Grand Trunk was not
willing to have its rates controlled and
it's business interfered with by a board
of commissioners. The Grand Trunk is
in favor of maintaining reasonably high
rates ant. of working in harmony with
the combdDd trunk lines, but it is de.
cidedly opposed to excessive
to submit to any insiduous distinctions
against it. The Grand Trunk can
manage it's own staff, and attend to its
own business. 1t might make some
change in rates if the combined lines
adopted advanced rates, which might
be fixed by their commissioners, but,
with slack expectation and other
obstacles, it is a poor time
to raise the rates of freight. Mr.. Hick'
son said that the Grand Trunk did not
pay drawbacks on freights as other
lines had done, and did not allow com.
missions on tickets, having its own
agents, except in cases where the agent
was paid by commissions instead Of

in every way qualified to represent the

honesty and integrity of character
commands the respect of all. Mr..
Caskey came 10 the county in the year
l845, since which time he has resided
at Potosi and followed the pursuits OF

originally a Wing, but since the or
ganization of the Republican party he
has been an earnest and active advo-
cate of Republican principles. Prob

understanding of the rights and de-

cannot be disputed that any one OF
our citizens cannot better represent

safe. careful and prudent legislator,
and Republicans will do their duty by
attending the polls and electing him
to the position for which he has been
nominated.
