a farmer. He had none, however,
and while drinking cider with a

ic, III should have my work done I'M

has been all occupied, but he was
not at work till after sunrise; he quit

"f had leisure, said q merchant,

counts" The chance is, my friend,
lif you had leisure, you would prob
ably pay less attention TO the matter
than you do now, The thing lacking
with hundreds Of farmers who till
the soil is, not more leisure, ,butmore
resolution---the spirit to do--to do
now, Ii the farmer who sees the
fence in q poor condition would only
act rat once, how much might bt

SRNs1TtvENEssAND DEATH. la young
lady, Mile. de B.. one of those
abnormally sensitive beings who
seems to be born into this world only
to flicker and die out, has just died
in Paris. She eatly displayed'an OK
cessively nervous disposition, the
slightest emotion producing o ner-
vous attack. AS she grew older this
tendency increased, rather than di-
niihished. The recital Of anaffecting
story would throw the poor girl into
dispair. Some three months ago her
mind was completely deranged in
consequence Of her being crossed in
love, and consequently this sensitive
ness grew pitiably acute. All insects
would become to her an object Of in
tense anxiety. She would watch the
fluttering Of q butterfly with anguish
and would only regain eomposure on
seeing the insect alight upon some
Aoweret. Finally, acting upon medi-
cal advice, she was transferred to the
hospital Of Vile Evrard. The pooi
girl died The other day, the immediate
cruise Of death being mental suffer
| ing produced by the sight Of 0 caf
dovouTing a little bird.

Fraud In the Drawing Of the Montpelier Fe-
male Humane Association.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. L-The commit
tee appointed TO examine the tickets remaining
in the wheel after the drawing OF the Mont
pelier Female Humane Association Lottery, met
this morning In the room of the association, In
which the wheel, after It had been closed and
sealed, was deposited for safe keeping after the
drawing Was over. As soon as the wheel was
seen II was apparent that At least bushel Of
brass tubes containing tickets had been put in
since II was taken from the stand. Ii was ascer-
tained that the arrangement OF the drawing had
been intrusted solely TO parties from New York,
and that all the money obtained from the sale Of
tickets, except some t6,uD OF $500, had been
left in New York, and was not subject to a draft
Of the officers OF the association. The parties
present appointed "A committee to proceed at
once to New York and endeavor to recover such
OF the money as could be obtained, after which
they adlourned to meet again tonight.
1t is believed that not a single dollar was drawn
by any bona die ticket holder, but that the
whole Of II has been retained 10y New York
sharpers. About half IA million dollars worth
of tickets were in this lottery.
