4 Dead Horse Driven Nine Miles.

Bill Whaley recently died in the
Fayette county (Pa.) poorhouse, and
he formerly drove a stage-coach be-
tween Uniontown and Morgantown, in
that state. He wouldn't own a horse
that had more than enough skin to
cover his bones, and through which
the moral law could not be read His
animals were queer geometrical puz-
combinations of angles, right,
obtuse, and acute. One day he came
driving into Uniontown at full speed,
and just as he drew up in front of the
hotel one of his horses fell dead.
"That was a very sudden death, !"
remarked a bystander.
:" Suddenr' replied Captain Bill.
That there horse died in Smithland,
nine miles from here but I never let
him drop until got him in town p

BY MISS E1TTIE BRADFORD.
Tell me, for it seems a wonder,
Why such weakness is so strong
Why poor woman, ever timid, .sa.
Now SO boldly meets the throng,
Marches bravely into danger, al-4F
And with prisons and song .-ia ~
Pleads SO earnestly and long.
Tell me, pray, the wondrous secret,
For it's power I fain would know,
And the grandeur and the glory
1t will certainly bestow
On the favored one who heeds it,
And who day by day mast grow
Wiser, purer, here below.
Querying sister, God is mighty,
And his Son doth lead and guide
Each believer, o, so sweetly,
Who doth trustf1lly decide
To accept him as the Master, .a
And in faith walk by his side
AS a pure and tender bride. ..-
Loving, trusting, self-denying,
Thou must fall at Jesus feet,
On the ''promises relying,
Look to Him for wisdom meet.
He will strengthen, guide and shield thee
His dear name then, fondly greet,
His wise precepts oft repeat.
Thus baptised of Gods own spirit,
Woman weak, in strength sublime,
Followeth where the Master leadeth.
Into dens of vice and crime.
And with prayers and exhortations,
Never needing place or time,
Pointeth to the cross divine.

AMONG the visitors at the ruined
reservoir, on Tuesday, was Frank Hins-
dale, the Berkshire county manufac-
turer. He viewed the scene with aston
ishment, and remarked emphatically
and impressively, IF that reservoir
was not safe, the Peru reservoir is not
safe, and the water in it is coming out
before sleep!' The Peru reservoir
covers 800 acres.

THERE'S no need of going across the
ocean to see italy. You can see the
whole thing, feas and all, in block
in the sixth ward, New York, where
about two thousand Italians have sue
ceeded in getting up an almost I'M
equaled exhibition of poverty, and
density of population. There is more
of nature than of art about the show,
however.

SOME one says if we would show our
selves really good to our daughters, we
"must be generous to them in a truer
sense than that of hanging trinkets on
their neeks." No words could be more
sensible. Nine girls out of ten would
rather have a cancels hair shawl than
a necklace. Parents should remember
this.

they are entitled to the public gratitude and
positive uniform protection of the Legislative
authority. In this matter the people will
make no peace with enemies, but they seek no
war with friends. While they are willing to
encourage to the fullest extent the develop

cannot submit to manifest injustice. nor per

The Senate Finance Committee held another
meeting this morning on the subject Of acting on
the House bill or OF providing some kindred
measure which win meet the opinions OF the
President and at the same time comport with the
dissimilar views Of the Senators who favor an In
crease Of the currency circulation and those who
are averse to the addition of any more paper
promises to the present volume. This win GER
tainly prove very dinicult, II not hopeless,
task, judging by the doubtful tones OF Senator
Sherman when referring to the financial
probabilities. He says they have discussed
the whole question of framing q bill. but
have not yet reached any definite decision; that
nothing looking TO free banking, without strong
provision for redemption, win be acceptable to
those whom he representa- The low rare bond will
not do, neither the four and half per cent, nor
the three sixty-nve convertible. The latter pro-
position, he thinks, Is now entirely abandoned He
still favors his five per cent gold bond as the most
equitable measure OF redemption for free banking.
The inflationists however, nave been hard at
work to perfect q bill covering their wishes
on the currency, which win be presented
In the Senate in few days. Every one
of the friends OF the measure will be present, and
