PRESENCE OF MIND IN A HOG.-A very
curious incident occurred recently in
Terra Haute, by which hog took a
free ride across the river bridge. It was
about half-past three o'clock that a
freight train was approaching the city,
when a hog weighing about 100 pounds
was seen on the track at the west end of
the bridge 1t did not get out of the
way soon enough, and the pilot of the
engine struck it. Instead of knocking
it off, however, the sloping front of the
pilot caught his porkship and rolled him
right up upon the little platform in front
Of the boiler. There he rose and sat
looking around, and was by this time
out over the bare ties, where if he had
Jumped off he would have gone into
the water. He evidently saw this, for
he remained on the front of the engine
and rode all the way across the bridge.
When the engine arrived on this side
the hog sprang nimbly off upon the
platform near Mr. Twaddell's watch
house, and after grunting its satisfaction
at its narrow escape it moved off. 1t
was slightly hurt in the side and one
leg, but viii recover

THERE is good story Of a certain
Boston Doctor of Divinity, whose name
they spell with ''P." A man of the
same name died, and a jealous newspa-
per fellow seeing the death in the paper
and thinking only of DR.. F., wrote a
most enthusiastic obituary. A wag met
DR.. P. the next day. "What you are
not dead % he said. ''Well, then, you
ought to be. No man can live up to
that obituary

BURNING CH1MNEYs.- the
most prolific cause of fires in houses,
especially in the country, is the burning
Of chimneys. Of the dozen or so of
fires I have witnessed, at least one-third
are known to have been caused by sparks
from burning chimneys falling upon the
roof. q To prevent the burning of
chimneys is an easy matter. The SCOT
in the chimney cannot burn, except as
the fire of the stove is communicated to
it through the pipe. If the pipe, there
fore be kept clean and free from SCOT,
and the damper in the stove always clos
ed, the chimney will never burn out.
To free the pipe of SCOT, take the stove
handle or any convenient implement,
and rap the pipe smartly on all sides
from top to bottom. The SCOT will fall
into the stove and be harmlessly con-
sumed, or it can be removed in the
usual way.
If there be horizontal pipe, this
should be taken down twice q year and
thoroughly cleaned. Or if the pipe be
only few feet in length, and the ar
engagements will admit of it provide the
horizontal pipe with a permanent scrap
er, as follows: To the end of stout
wire, few inches longer than the pipe,
attach small segment of a disk OF
sheet-iron, at right angles to the wire.
Remove the elbow, and thrust the scrap
er into the pipe. Pass the other end of
the wire through a hole punched in the
elbow, loop the end of the wire for a
handle, and replace the elbow. After
first rapping the pipe. the SCOT can all
be drawn out and let fall into the stove.
This arrangement [ adopted six years
ago, and my chimney has not burned
out during that time. I clean my pipe
thus, as often as once a fortnight dur
ing cold weather. -Scientifc american.

I'M SAD.
BY ERNI.

'Tis morn, aud yet Aurora brings,
No Joy upon Ter golden wings
Bright flowers round my footsteps bloom
But where, oh where, is heir perfume
The glowing sun, from brigh tening skies
On earth is throwing Eden dyes
Yet, though all other hearts are glad,
| cannot smile-my soul is sad.
It's morn, the tiny avelets sleep
Upon the calm Untroubled deep,
And breezes soft as fairy dream,
Are floating over hill and stream,
And many a rare and precious flower
Is blooming in this woodland bower
A perfu me to the heart that's glad,
cannot smile-my soul is sad.
It's eve, and soft the zephyrs play,
With moOnbeams at the close of day
The Thrush's song with magic spell,
Blend with the notes that round me swell,
Soft as an angels cadence mild,
Low breathing DER a sleeping child
And yet, though sweet, the notes can add
No pleasure-fOr my soul is sad.
The harp is clothed in weeds of woe,
That breathed a strain so sweet and low;
And round it's trembling silvery strings
No more Eavonius spreads his wings.
The voice that on my ear once stole
Is hushed, and shades are on my soul
May Joy surround the heart that's glad,
l cannot smile-my soul is sad.

flying to witness evidences of progress
in our good old county of Hardeman. We
were in the thriving little town of Hick,

nine new, commodious dwellings have
been erected in the last eighteen months
The citizens of this place are noted for
their morality and intelligence, and they
are making considerable progress to-
wards giving their children good educa>
tons. We witnessed the closing ezcer-
cises of the young ladies and gentlemen
of their school in charades, composition
and elocution, which were creditabla to
themselves, and must have been most
gratifying to their parents. Let them
continue to fos ter education, and under
the moral influences now surrounding
their children, they will become as the
