not hear of some beautiful instance
of devotion aud sacrifice on the
part of those whom 1t Is too much
the fashion to ridicule for selfish
ness and accuse OF infidelity. The
steady toll and devotion OF life

precious than gallant protestations
and the husbands who stood on

rather than escape and leave them
to their fate, illustrate In a pictur-
esque and thrilling way what

Alphonse Karr was once heard
to say that from the moment he
furnished a house he ceased to be
an independent creature. "From
that hour" he continues, 1.-THE
chairs and tables that / thought /
owned, owned me. They were
the masters OF my whole destiny,
and it was my business to see that
they met with no i'll treatment,
and were not scratched, smashed
nor otherwise abused" Many q

confession of the witty Alphonse.
This is one OF the chief reasons
why so many families break up
housekeeping and go into board
ing houses, where the scratching
and smashing are so common thai
nobody needs the destruction,

The Peril oil Bad water.

A lecture on Preyentable Sick
ness, by DR.. Alfred Carroll, print
ed In the November number of the
NdnitGri0n, contains the folio wing
paragr aph, which possesses spe.
ial interest for our citizens who
are just now somewhat agitated
about the condition of their wells:
Water may be contaminated
with decOmp0sing organic matter;
1T may contain the ova of parasitic
worms; it may dissolve from lead
Ell pipes or reservoirs a poisonous
quantity of the metal; or in flow
ing through magnetism limestone
strata, it may acquire an injur-
ious'degree of'hardness.' Through
its medium cholera and typhoid
fever are probably oftener convey
ed, than by any other channel,
and it has been demonstrated that
the poisohs of these diseases can
perc0late through many feet of
intervening soil to faint it. In
the absence Of such specific conta-
gions, the fOuling Of drinking wa
ter by organic matter is the COM
monest cause of diarrhHal disOr-
ders, and often of other serious
manifestations of blood poisoning.
In all rural districts the water
supply is principally derived from
surface wells, which, as / suppose
you know, are filled by the sub
soil water existing everywhere at
q greater or less distance beneath
the surface of the ground, its sub
terranean tide rising and falling
with the rains or drOughts of diff
ferent seasons. Now, well on a
place large enough to keep all un-
pleasant neighbors at a respectful
distance, is an excellent thing, but
If 1t be situated in narrow lot on
low ground, with a populous
neighborhood above it, 1t becomes
an object of suspicion, since the
amount of sewerage brought down
in the underground current may
exceed the filtertng capacity of the
earth 1 speak, of course, of un-
severed districts;) and the dam
ger is more imminent when, as Is
usually the case, the well owner
takes pains to provide sources of
pollution on his own premises.
AS Gen. Viele aptly remarked, in
recent address on drainage and
sewerage, there are generally
three excavations made adjoining
every isolated or detached resi-
dence, in near proximity to each
other; one for q cess-pool, one for
a privy-vault, and the third for
a well, which being the deepest Of
the three, almost necessarily re-
ceives the leakage from the other
two If the soil be at all pourous.

LOST IN A STORM.
A Little One Sleeps all Night
in an ODen Field.

The Bethlehem, Penn, Times
says: "Mr. James Smith, residing
at Friedensthal, near Nazareth, on
Tuesday afternoon, permitted his
little three year old daughter to
accompany him to the corn-field
and syort about on the heaps of
corn thrown together by the husk-
kers. The wind blowing up and
a storm threatening, Mr.. Smith
directed some one to put the child
in he twagon when the next load
would be taken to the crib, and
then went about his work under
the belief that his orders had been
complied with.
After dusk, when the rain had
commenced to fall, the lightning
to flash and the thunder 10 roll
Mr.. Smith returned to his home.
The child, which each believed to
be safe and comfortable with the
other parent, was nowhere TO be
| found The alarm was sounded
and the entire neighbOrhoOd turn
ed out for search. In the face of
the cold, the pelting hail and sleet
and rain, the lightning and terri
BILE storm, the whole country was
thoroughly patrollcd by men, wo
men and children until past mid
night; no trace of the child was
found.
All night long the parents sat at
home in despair, each passing hour
and increasing violence of the
storm adding to their sufierings.--
At length day dawned,and the en-
tire party turned out en- masse for
the hunt. This time they were
more successful. About half a mile
from home, in a field, on heap of
wet rubbish-cold and stiff-yet
sweetly sleeping, lay the little tru-
ant.
Instead of going home the child
had wandered off into adjoining
fields, and night overtaking her,
she wandered she knew not where.
At last, worn out and fatigued she
lay down and fell asleep where
found. Her clothing was dripping
with water, and her body cold ae
ice. Medical aid was summoned,
and now the child is well.
