| the western hills when the miserable hus-
| band was returning up small branch
| that had it's source at his spring, and, as
| he was still anxiously but almost hope
| lessly looking in every direction, while
passing along he deserted in patch of
luxuriant grass in a marsh, a few PAGES
| off, something like a piece of gingham.
| moment or two, and his heart almost
stopped pulsating as the thought rushed
to his frenzied brain that the object he
saw might be his wife's bonnet, and that
both she and his darling boy might be
buried in the fathomless quagmire over
the center of which lay this relic.
Approaching to within safe distance
of this miry pit he discovered the grass
turned downward and the surface of the
slough broken and depressed, showing
that some living body had fallen in and
been struggling greatly to get out.
Very soon one of the neighbors and two
of the freedmen belonging 10 the farm
came up. MIR. Nj. had already explored
to the depth of his arm in the mire, but
found no further traces of the unfortu-
nate ones. A pole twelve or fifteen feet
long was now obtained and sent down its
full length, but neither could anything be
felt nor the bottom touched. Another
rod, longer than the first, was then fas-
tened to it, and the same examination
made with like result. Any further
attempt to recover the dead bodies was
therefore deemed useless. 1t was &C.
cordingly decided to desist; and the
party, which had by this time increased
to thirty-fve or forty persons, all set out
for their respective homes just as the pail
of night began to wrap the earth in dark
ness.
At this juncture the state of Mr.. MS
mind, who had to be carried away by
force, can better be imagined than de-
scribed. His agonizing cries and groans
were piteous, indeed, and most painful
to hear.
This quagmire had been known to all
the occupants of the farm from its ear
liest settlement, but never till then was
any conception formed of its immense
depth. Full thirty feet of it had been
sounded, yet its lowest part, if any il has,
is still to be ascertained. The mean d.
ameter of the pit proper for some fifteen
feetdown is about three and half feet.

AT Villeneuve, St. George, near Paris,
a gentleman has a pond in which he
raises leeches for the market. He feeds
them quite often upon aged and infirm
horses and other animals, which the
leeches suck to death. He had family
horse which was quite favorite of
child of his, but, becoming useless by
age, he drove him into the pond to feed
his lecches upon. His child, coming to
the pond soon after, and seeing his IA
vorite in the water, endeavored to get
the horse out, thinking he had fallen in
accidentally. In this endeavor the boy
himself fell into the pond, and when res

sucked SO much of his life's blood from
his veins that he died in an hour alter

The Little PappoOse.

THE children were having splendid
time-Dotty, Dick and Baby May-out
under the great walnut tree that shaded
the house. Dick had the hammer, Dot
ty her dolls and all her little housekeep-
ing arrangements, while baby sat on her
bright wooden rug, cOntentedlv sucking
her pink thumb and watching the others
at their play. So their mamma ventured
to take book and rest awhile.
Presently Dotty spied some round,
green walnuts in the grass. ooh, Dick,
these are good to eat! You Just crack
one with your hammer and see." So
Dick pounded away with all his baby
strength, but couldn't crack the nut.
Then Dotty tried, but didn't succeed
any better, but new idea came into heI
mind "Oh, Dick, see this funny juice
that runs out of the shell. It's awful
bitter, but let's squeeze this little cup
full and play it's cider"
So they pounded the green shells from
dozen nuts, and squeezed them with
their little white hands until they got
tired of that.
Then Dotty thought of something else.
"Just see our hands, Dick They look
like all the Indians round here. Pm
going to wash baby's face in 1t and play
she's a little pappoose."
Dear little pet! She didn't object to
the washing, as it seemed to be some
thing very Interesting to the others; so
Dotty covered the sweet baby face with
juice and was proceeding to rub it over
| her snow-white neck and arms, when,
unfortunately, some got into her great,
brown eyes.
The next moment mamma was startled
by piercing screams and cries, and
rushed out to find her baby transformed
into regular brownie, her beautiful
eyes swollen and smarting with pain, her
soft round cheeks and smooth forehead
burning and blistered by the poisonous
walnut juice.
Such a sorry time as they had of it for
awhile!
Mamma bathed the poor eyes and face
in every soothing lotion sine could devise,
until at last the little thing sobbed her
self to sleep.
In few hours the pain was gone, and
pet could open her eyes. But, oh! what
fOrlorn- looking baby she was!
The. children's father was missionary
among the Indians in New York State,
and these little ones, with their golden
HAIR and snow-white complexion, were q
marvel of beauty and brightness among
these children of the forest. But for
weeks Baby May was as brown as any

Hints to Girls and Boys on Good Man.
nerS.

NEVER look over another person, when
he is writing a letter, or reading that
which does not concern you.
Never enter another's room abruptly.
Have you special business? Knock
gently at the door, or ask permission to
enter.
Never select the best articles of food
at the table. Wait till you are helped.
Be modest, polite, temperate.
Never ask trif1ing or foolish questions,
or inquire about things with which you
are already familiar. "a fools voice is
known by multitude of words"
Never speak unfess you have some
thing to say" think twice before you
speak once" I'm the multitude of
words there wanteth not sin, but he that
refraineth his lips is WISE" prov. x. 49,
Never dissemble, feign yourself sick
or asleep, or unwelI, to avoid correction
or some other unpleasant thing. This
is a species of lying for which the Lord
will not hold you guiltless. "Keep thy
tongue from evil and thy lips from
speaking guile" "Put away from thee
forward mouth, and perverse lips put
far from thee" "Lying lips are an
abomination to the Lord"
Never be glad or rejoice at another's
be your enemy. "He that is glad at
calamities shall not be unpublished"
If thine enemy hunger feed him; if he
thirst give him drink; for so doing thou
shalt heap Goals of fire on his head" Be
not overcome with evil, but overcome
evil with good"
Never mock or ridicule the poor, the
infirm or the aged. HE that mocketh
the poor reproacheth his Maker" "Bet-
ter is the poor that walketh in his integ-
rity than he that Is perverse in his lips
opd 10 foolD (Prou 1 \
Never set up your own will in opposi-
ton to your parents or teachers. Sub
init to them calmly, sweetly, cheerfully.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idol
airy"
When addressed by your parents or
superiors give immediate attention.
Be kind and gentle to all, to your
brothers and sisters invariably.
When a favor is conferred always ex-
press your gratitude politely to the per-
son who bestows it.-Erchdnge.

Lost in a FathOmlesssQ uagmIre.

In Boggs County, on the road leading
from Marshalville to Fruwick, and ten
miles from the former town, resides a
well-to-do farmer by the name of Myrup.
His amiablc and loved wife early after
breakfast had taken her infant child,
about eighteen months old, in her arms
and gone off in search of fine and ia
vorite mich COW.
On coming home from the field to his
dinner Mr.. NJ. learned that his wife and
sweet little prattler had not made their
appearance Almost frantic with fear
and excitement for their safety, knowing
that very large bear had been seen in
the swamp near by only few days be-
fore, he put out Immediately in search
of the missing ones. All the hired men

search.

Utility OF Pictures.

THE value of pictures, or rather their
superiority over words as story-tellers, is
excellently illustrated by couple of in
cidents related in a foreign contemporary.
In village in India recently it became
necessary in the course of some engineer
ing operations to transport an enormous
mass of metal, weighing several hundred
tons, from one part of the town to an
other Ordinary means were out of the
question; and. as the engineers found
themselves unable to devise any process,
they did the next best thing and wrote to
other engineers in England who were
constantly supervising work. The lat
ter, instead of writing out nice, large
pages of foolscap, beautifully embellished
with Greek letter formule and red ink,
quietly waited until the next big piece of
metal which they had to transport Of
fered favorable opportunity. They
then prepared a camera and photo
graphed every step of the operation, to-
gether with all the tools and appur-
tenances, and forwarded the prints from
the negative to India. These the engi-
neers in the far-of country followed and
with little difficulty accomplished their
task. ..

A Plucky Ohio Girl Drives on a
Burglar.

On Thursday afternoon, about half.
past two o'clock, a bold attempt was
| made to rob the residence of Mr.. S. Boise,
the well-known milkman, who resides
just beyond the toll-gate on the pike.
Mr.. Boise returned home from his regu-
| lar round among his customers about ten
O'Clock that morning, and Immediately
| thereafter he and his wife started to
Bellevue, leaving their daughter, aged
| eighteen, and two sons at home. The
young men were engaged at work in a
| field about half mile from the house,
so that in reality there was no one at
home except the young lady mentioned
above.
Shortly after two O'Clock that after
noon she went out to the barn to gather
the hens eggs, and while there she saw
rather rough-looking individual ap-
proach the house. For some unaccount-
able reason she at once became possessed
of the idea that the man was not coming
to the house for any good purpose; and
acting upon that idea she at once started
for the house, keeping concealed behind
the building so that the man could not
see her. She succeeded in getting into
the house before the man arrived at the
door, and took double barreled shot
gun which was in the house and con-
cealed it behind the door. She had just
when the man knocked at the door.
She opened the door with one hand
and kept the other on the gun, which the
fellow of course could not see. He
asked her if MIR. Boise was at home and
she replied that he was but that he could
not be seen, as he was ill. The fellow
said: " You lie! l saw him leave here
about ten O'Clock and he hasn't come
back. l want what money there is in
| this house," and at the same time the
scoundrel made a step forward and
placed his hand in his inside breast
pocket and partly pulled a weapon, either
| a pistol or a knife, out of his pocket. In
an instant the heroic young lady grasped
| the gun, and before the villain could
draw his weapon she covered the scoun-
drel with the shotgun, cooked and ready
| to blow him into eternity.
| AS a matter of course the would-be
robber was completely dumbfounded.
| Fear, disappointment and rage were de-
picted upon his countenance. Miss Boise
told the fellow to take his hand off the
weapon which he was about to draw or
she would empty both barrels of the
gun into him. He having complied with
her request, she told him to make bee
line to the gate, and that if he turned or
deviated from straight course she
would shoot him. The fellow started
and Miss Boise followed him, still cover
ing him with the gun. When they
reached the gate she told him to run for
his life, and he started at break-neck
pace in the direction of this city. Miss
Boise then returned to the house and
called her brothers in from the field and
informed them of what had happened

Translated from the 6ermanl
TIE maiden sleepa-Shy moura ye in thi:
Ye parents. Let her rest Sssa
The little fAce that mid the flowers lies -
.2yios I iis6t; Oh, xhereSore, weep.
Lay me down fRpeaee and sleeP.n
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-wearied from play, to
Tired out with happiness.
The doll the little arms had fondly pressed,
The pretty Sunday dress.
Her stoEy- book remembered not
All, ali her treasures now forgot
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-her life was peaceful
And neht her earthly lot, 4
A Ilstle stream that through the flowers
strayed,
with love and music fraught:
No bitter grief the child's heart panied,
Soon was the short fight fought and gained
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-hov blest she slumbered
Her tender ssvior's arm;
That sPotaess heart, unsoiled, unstained by
No earthly fear could harm;
A conscience pure, . sinless breast,
This Is Q couch the head to rest
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-earth's pain, earth's
strife no more
May break that sweet repose;
Know'st. mother, thou, what might have been
For her, OF bitter woes!
She feels NO more the tempest's beat,
Feels not the summers suftry heat
49,. The maiden sleeps
The maiden sleeps-only one short. calm
That peaceful sleep will last;
And, Oh, howbright the morn that greets her
sight
When that brief night is o'erl
He, who BY his resistless will
Soothed Jairus, lives and comforts still
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-and now the last kiss
Upon the lips 80 still,
1he Father help thee in thy sore distress;
o mothert tits His will.
Now, a. they bear her to her rest
Sing ye the hymns she loved the best
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-now, Shepherd, take her
Thine for eternity:
Ye giorio.s stars, bend down from heavens
Watch DER her tenderly;
0 wind, howl not SO loud and shrin
Over this little, fower-decked hill
The maiden sleeps.

PULL TOGETHER;

BE quiet, boys, if you are able,
While l relate a little fable
About a thrifty mouse and toad
That undertook to draw load
Together on a dusty road;
But never stopped to question whether
Their naturalE gifts would work together
The mouse drew steady on his string,
But toady gave one desperate spring;
Up went poor mousy like "kite,''
And broke his neck bone in the flight,
The moral plainly says to all:
