| slowly sinking for the last time He threw
himself flat on the ground, lie plunged his
arm down in the water, and he Just caught
the little hand. With desperate effort he
drew her up till her golden head rose 70
the surface, but he was not strong enough
to lift her out alone, and wild cry of ssOh,
come, cOmei she is drowningr' brought
the other boys flying from the corners and
bushes where they had been hunting and
calling for sister.
With fearful struggle-almost falling
in themselves-they drew her out of the
well and laid her down on the grass, but
only for moment, for with wild anguish
in their hearts they said, "Oh, bring her
to mether!' and lifting the insensible lit
tie form they hurried through Sister Sniff
fen's gate into their own house.
A little, gasp1ng moan, a sobbing sort of
sigh, as they laid her down on the sofa
and called aloud for their mother, made
them burst out crying with mingled sor-
row and joy, for she was not dead-oh, no,
no, she was not dead!
Dear little wee lamb! In a few mo-
ments she opened her eyes and smiled on
her mother and brothers, who could hard
ly be persuaded to leave the room while
warm, dry clothes were put upon her and
when they were again admitted every one
of them must rub her hands and little
white feet-one apiece, as they said-and
kiss her again and again; and when she
was quite recovered they knelt down with
their mother, and thanked God that He
had sent them to save little sister from
death by drowning in that dark, and now
to them that awful, well. What silent,
empty house it would have been, even
with those four noisy boys, if her DEAR
tiny, spatterlng footsteps had been heard
no moreI How they loved her nowi
Though it had seemed, as Charley said,
that they had loved her with all their
might and main before, but now they had
i" loped her asoay from death. y
Little sister writes letters to my friend
Rose, who told me this story-that is, her
mother does the writing, while sister
s.talks it." as she says: The hast letter
received was just after her accident. Here
it is:

difference, for the ark itself soon fell to

OUR BABY.

WHO came SO lately to our home,
With dimpled cheeks and eyes of brown,
And little voice with cunning tone?
Our baby.
Who draws the children from the street,
With eager eyes his form to greet
And whisper softly: Amt he sweet?"
Our baby.
Who takes so much of mammals care,
That all the rest begin to fear
Wen soon have naught to eat or wear?
Our baby.
Who papa draws from work and books,
And little sisters" brightest looks,
And cen "big brother" likes to coax?

Who never cries-unless he's bad
And sweetly smiles when he is glad,
And never yet was "real mad %

That tits a fact by all confessed,
" The likes Of him" was never dressed?

THE boys who play at marbles will like
to know that the chief place of manufact-
ufc is at Oberstcin, in Germany, where
are located extensive agate quarries and,
mills, the refuse material being worked
up into spherical toys, principally for the
American market. The substance is first
broken into blocks with IL hammer, then
thrown upon a stationary furrowed stone,
over which block OF hard wood is
placed, and is kept revolving while water
flows upon the slab. About fifteen min
utes are required in this milling process
10 produce the veined balls. which are
thereafter termed marbles.

MONTANA.

We take the following extracts from q
private letter from Mr.. James w. CARING.
ton, dated Centreville, M. T., July 25th:
eve were twenty-six days on our journey
from being delayed from various causes
We had to wait at Bismarck three days fol
boat; the boat was detained by high wa.
ter, and at the mouth of the Yellowstone
had to lie up two days for repairs and al
Carroll we just missed the stage, which
makes but one trip week, and so had to
wait six days there. We were ten days on
the steamer between Bismarck and Carroll
a distance Of 991 miles. The scenery il
very .monotonous. The water of the Mis-.
souri, is so muddy that it cannot be used I'm.
til it has been put into barrels and clarified
by eggs being broken into it. Our stage.
ride from Carroll, two hundred and thirty
miles, was very pleasant. We passed over
mountains where there were acres of flow.
ers and the air was loaded with perfume,
and again in one place went so high that
we passed through snow.
"About the 10th inst, the grasshoppers
paid us a visit, making the farmers feel
blue, as they came in greater numbers than
had ever before been known here. The
way they went for the grain was fearful.
Fortunately, they staid but about four days
and then started westward. For several
days the air was filled with them. The
crops were not badly injured.'

Germany and Russia promise to
give furloughs by the hundred thous-
and to their soldiers next year. Aus
tria will have to follow suit, as she is
member of the triple imperial
league, and France can in that case
have no excuse for not disbanding some
of her supernumeraries. All this
smacks of: happiness for the big Eu-
ropean family; but, alas, the real
prospects and passions squint to more
hard fighting on q large scale.

j. L. Potter, who was announced to
lecture at Coolidge Hall, last Thursday
evening, did not fill the bill, because he
was under arrest at that time for alleged
theft, committed at Owatonna. He was az
rested at the depot in this village, on the
strength ofatelegram, and the matter was
settled up next day without trial, and he
departed in peace. Mr.. Potter has been in
the employ Of the State Spiritual Associa-
ton for several years as State lecturer, and
has heretofore borne agood reputation. This
act of dishonesty should forever silence him
as public lecturer, and brand him with
intamy, unless he can forthwith establish
his innocence, which under the circumstan-
ces will be hard to do.-Kasson Republican.

over this line never before equaled. No
blame can be attached to the managers of
the road in the matter, as, reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding, they considered
the bridge perfectly SAFE. 1t would be very
poor economy indeed to run trains over a
bridge with any risk whatever. The wreck
and'the portion of the bridge left standing
have been examined BY frst-class engineers
and bri ige men and their unanimous yer.
dict is that nothing in the wreck or the part
standing warranted the opinion that the
bridge had been unsafe. Our theory is that
the accident was occasioned either by q
brake having fallen under the wheel and
thrown the car from the track, or by some
of the iron rails which were loaded on fiat
cars sliding off, which is not an unusual
thing, and catching in the timbers of the
bridge.

At Maiden, Bureau Il Co., ILL.,. on the
morning Of the Sd Of August, 1875, BEN
JAM1N PORTER, formerly of Worcester,
Mass. -
The deceased was born in Old Hadley,
Mass, about the year 1898, and was lineal
descendant Of Pres. Jonathan Edwards. D.
D. He early left the retired life Of farm
and entered active life, first a. agent and
afterwards as one Of the owners and direc-
tors in the large stage companies doing
the passengerbusiness from Boston, Hart
ford, Albany, New York, Trenton, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington, hay
ing been at different times a resident in
several of these cities. He married Miss
Clementina Lamb, of sturbridge, Mass,
who was the mother of our fellow towns
man, Geo. I. Porter, while living in Tren-
ton, N. Y.
he was completely overthrow in the
first financial crash that swept over the
country in 1886, and in 1888 removed to
small farm near Princeton, Illinois.
Here he contracted a second marriage with
Miss Caroline Smith, of that town, and
united on profession with Hampshire COL
ony church, of which his wife was MEM
Der, and which was subsequently under the
pastoral care of the Rev. Owen Lovejoy, af-
forwards Member of Congress.
In all their after-lives they have stood
pillars in the churches to which they have
belonged, and the interests Of the Redeem
ers Kingdom in all its applications to the
world have been their central idea-the
poor have never suffered without their
sympathy, nor the fugitive slave sought in
vain for help and shelter at their home.
Mr.. Porter has for several years felt the
growing intirmities of age weakening his
physical, though not his mental, energies.
With no positive disease upon him, he has
felt the links of life gradually and successive
ly letting go, till he died tranquilly-going
az happily and sweetly as child to its sleep.
| The chamber where the good man meets his fate
Is far removed beyond the walks Of common life.
Quite in the verge Of Heaven. P.
