One Of the most remarkable cases Of
the preservation Of the life under con-
tinual disaster Is that Of George Pepper

away for dead, by having his skull, nose
and jaw broken, teeth knocked out,
thumb carried away, arm and leg wouu-
ded, and eye destroyed and other dam
age done. Then he went home and
married. A fire next door so scared his
wife that she and her infant died, and
he was left alone again. He went To
work 10 some tube mills and fell and
broke leg. Recovering, he was hand

three ribs were broken These he unit

An Item Every Man Should
Read.

We have probably all Of us met
with instances in which n word
heedless.y spoken against the rep
utation of a female has been mag
nified by malicious minds until
the cloud has become dark enough
to overshadow her whole exist
ence. To those who are accust0m-
ed--not necessarily from bid mo-
tives, but from thoughtlessness--
10 speak lightly OF females, we re-
commend three hints as worthy
OF consideration:
Never use lady's name in an
improper place, AT an improper
time, or in mixed company.
Never make any assertions about
her that you think are untrue, or
illusions that you feel she herself
would blush TO hear.
When you meet men who do not
scruple TO make use of a woman's
name in reckless and unIrinci-
pied manner, shun them, for they
are the very worst members ofthe
cOmmunity,--men lost to every
sense of honor, every feeling Of hui
rhanity.
Many a good woman'S character
has been ruined and her heart bro
ken by a lie, manufactured by
some villain and repeated when 1t
should not have been, and in the
presence of those whose little judy
ment could not deter them from
circulating the foul and Dragging
report. A SANDER is soon propa-
gated, and the smallest thing de-
rogatory to woman's character
will fly on the wings of the wind
and magnify AS IL circulates, until
its monstrous weight brushes the
poor, unfortunate victim.
Respect the name of woman,
for your mother and sisters are
women, and as you would have
their fair name untarnished and
their lives unimbittered by the
slaDderer's biting tongue, heed the
iii that yourown words may bring
upon the mother, the sister, or the
wife OF some fellow'creaiure.

ANALOsTANs.
Plan for a New Boat-house.

The well-known Analostan Boat Club, which is
rapidly growing in size, has found the dimensions
Of its present boat-house too small for their &C
commodstion, and at recent meeting appointed
committee to take into consideration the pro-
Ject of erecting new one. The committee went
TO work in earnest, and, as result, succeeded in
securing an eligible site and obtaining in sub.
scriptions q sum nearly sufficient to erect a
building commensurate with the demands and
status Of the club. The location will be at the
foot of New Hampshire avenue, just below their
present house, street which is being finely i'm
