A strange financial disaster has fallen up
on North Hadley, Massachusetts,. During sew
eral years the farmers have mainly devoted
themselves to tobacco culture A few remark
ably good crops, sold at very remunerative
prices, made the growers reckless in their mon
ey transactions and over confident of the flu
tI,re. They were ready to endorse each others
paper for the asking, and became inordinately
speculative. A short time ago one firm failed,
and then, the panic once started, others follow
ed in rapid succession. The Springfield Repub.
Hcam says: "Real estate has fallen one.third
in the town, and business is almost hopelessly
stagnant. CT course the community is utterly
Frustrated under such series of misfortunes
in the business sense, though individuals bear it
courageously There was danger at first that
the town would lose their minister, the Rev.
James NJ. Bell, but, by weekly pledges Of mon
ey, which is paid in every Sabbath, enough has
been raised to keep along for the present.
And the interesting fact about this is that the
parties guaranteeing the parsons pay are, in
the majority, the folks who usually have given
little or nothing toward supporting the
church."

THE HUMAN HEART.

What wonderful thing is the human heart!
With it's achings, its hopings, its fears, -,
How twill tremble, and hutter, and thrill with
delight,
While pleasures surround, and while fortune
smiles bright,
But when sad melt away into tears.
What q restless thing is the human heart!
How strange it can never be still
Il hath yearnings for fame and strlvlngs 1or
power,
And it even seeks wealth, which is lost in an
hour.
# hath longings the world cannot fill
What happy thing is the human hearth
How little will make it rejoice!
How quickly twill beat, and how suddenly
bound,
at hearing the welcome and long wished-for
sound
OF atenderly well-beloved voice.
What desolate thing is the human heart!
When tits laden with sorrow and care!
In aaf the wide world it can find no relief
From its dull weight of care, and its burden OF
But sinks down in the DEPTHS of despair.
What trusting thing is the human heart!
It will lean upon faith mid life's gloom;.
twill cling unto hope, who, with radiant
smile,
Will whisper sweet comforting words all the
while,
And brighten the path to the tomb.
What loving thing is the human heart!
Some can live on the love Of the past;
Some twine their soft tendrils, like vines IN
the spring,
Round something to which they can tenderly
cling,
And fondaly love on to the last.
And this human heart it can hate as we'll,
And if scorned it can learn to despise;
Ave! slight it, and wound it, and friendship
will turn
To hatred, which iercer and fercer will burn
Till low meath earth's green sod it lies.
One day we shall know them, these wonderful
hearts,
When we've crossed to the heavenly shore,
And the Lambs book of life in our sight is
unsealed,
And the secrets of all human hearts are re-
vealed,
We shall know them as never before

covered small cot near by, and arousing the
inmates we asked for shelter which was cheer
fully given, although death there met our gaze,
for upon snow white bed lay young lady
who had been thrown from her horse the even

Zone glance and my companion recognized
her. She was the wife of the young officer
with whom was to engage in a duel.
"Her story had been told to the inmates OF
the cottage ere she died, which was, that her
husband had gone to fight duel, and she was
fastening after him to prevent it, accompanied
only by guide, when her horse had fallen and
crushed her beneath his weight.
"Juniata, never did I suffer as then, and to
atone for my having been the cause of all this
misery, I had the body of the woman borne
back to her home. and from there buried IN
state beside the grave Of her be..oved husband,
for the following day the young officer had ta-
ken with him a number of soldiers and gone to
to the house of the bandits, and though he had
found the place deserted, except by the dead,
he had brought back with him the dead corp
ses of his friends and my unfortunate guide.
"And, Juniata, to atone yet more for my sin,
took to my heart the baby child-a little girl
of one year-of the dead parents, and bringing
her with me to America, reared her as my
ward"-
"And I am she that was that little orphan
girl ?" asked Juniata in low whisper.

grown to womanhood, the tendrils of my heart
have grown more closely around you, until

dreary blank; but yet l fear it must be SO, tor

that YOU will''-
"Love you ten fold more, my dear, noble
guardian, and never, never leave you" And
with the passionate vehemence of her nature,
Juniata sprang forward, and clung closely
around the neck of the man who had 80 we'll

"You will be my wife, then, Juniata ?" asked
Clarence, after pause.
"Yes. Never have I known other love than
that I have felt for you; and mingled with it
has been that would hold for mother father,
brother, ALL My poor, poor parents sleeping

would not blame your daughter and pray
that from Heaven you look down in kindness
and give us your blessing as hope God will

"Amen !' said the stern and fervent voice of
Clarence Kane.
And one short month afterwards, all Balti-
more heard with surprise that the handsome
guardian and beautiful ward had been quietly
married, and had sped away to spend their
honeymoon in the romantic valleys OF Spain.

Honey Extractor.

As we have occasional inquiries for
plain directions how to make II cheap

honey is thln but in cold weather, and in

equal merit now before the public, ranging
in price from $500 to $500, according
to finish, and with careful usage will last
for many years.
The machine consists of an outer case
with a revolving frame within, having
two sides covered with wire cloth, through
which the honey passes from the comb on
the inside and against the wire case, being
thrown out by centrifugal force BY the
use OF this machine combs may be emptied
and returned to the hive, saving much
time to the bees in comb-building, in
creasing the honey collected during the
rich honey harvests. besides often afford.

Situation at Washington.

The St Louis Republicans Washing
ton dispatch of the 2Sth says
The Arkansas committee remain reti
cent with reference TO their report. 1t is
admitted, however, that none has yet
been agreed upon, and no understanding
has been arrived at which indicates any
definite date for the presentation Of the
report Gov Baxter, Judge Wiltshire,
and other parties acting in behalf OF the
Garland government, continue to express
perfect confidence that, whenever re.
port is made, the majority, and perhaps
the entire committee, VIII favor the
claims OF the present state officials
The impression grows stronger every
day that the congressional committee,
now in New Orleans, will not succeed in
getting enough whitewash to materially
change the complexion of the report
made by Foster, Phelps and Potter.
Rumor has it that Grant is trimming
his sails to suit the wind, as it blows too
strong for him to beat against it longer
An apparently reliable report that th,
proposed compromise by which the statn
quo Of the Louisiana legislature is to be
relieved with Wilt as speaker, and the
democratic majority rs II was when Gen
De Trobriand marched in his soldiers
now under consideration in New Or
leans, is stimulated by no less a person
age than the president himself. Mean
while the plan Is to have Kellogg recog
nized by congress and the democrats OF

his Office in peace, it is thought every

The administration republicans have

Of the Louisiana committee, for telling
unpalatable truth in their recent report.

The following are extracts from the ar.

not scruplc to lie for their party, the ed
itor says:
" Next on the list we find Mr.. William
W alter Phelps, of New Jersey, and Mr.,

whom have proved their treachery to
