leave the state. The court is set late

in" and release their friend before that
time(?) There are other parties who
have an interest in Frank. He took the
application of certain Railroad street

him twenty-five dollars OF more, and 1t
is now said the application comes back
from the company rejected. Still the
man may get back his money; at any

SOME years ago, during Demo
cratic State Convention held in Syr>
acuse, there occurred large Sun
day school picnic, to which many of
the delegates were invited and
which a few attended. Among
those who accepted were John Van
Buren, and Gen. Nye. Mr.. Van
Buren, was requested to make lit
tie speech to the little people, and
though it was little out of his line,
cheerfully assented. In the course
of it he sought to impress upon the
juveniles that honesty was the best
policy, and that politicians of all
classes were quite too apt to sell and
be sold. BY way of illustration he
added: "You remember how Abra>
ham of old traded his birthright for
a mess of pottage." General Nye,
who sat directly behind him, gave a
pull at his coat-tails and said "Hold
on, John, you have got the hair on
the wrong man."

REMARKABLE COURAGE.--A little
four year old daughter of a widow
lady, Mrs. Julia Upchurch Of Haral~
son county, Ga, fell into a well last
week. The little girl caught the
bucket, as her brother drew it up,
when the rope broke and precipita-
ted her head foremost to the bottom
of the we'll. She struck the water,
and as she rose she caught hold of
the walling and. called for help
Her old grandmother, aged seventy,
let down the rope and the little girl
grasped it and was raised to the top.
Just at that moment she lost her
grip upon the rope and went to the
bottom again Again she called for
help and this time was drawn safely
out without injury, except that her
nose was skinned up little. This
is certainly an exhibition of courage
and GOODNESS on the part of a child
unparalleled.

lately made an extraordinary attempt
to kill herself. irst, she went into

no harm, she got pound canister,
put it in bucket, and, holding her
head over it, set fire to the powder.
An Clubhouse was blown to pieces,

and then the neighbors came and

REFINEMENT.

Refinement is not fastidiousness.
1t is not luxury. 1t is nothing of
this kind. 1t is far removed from
excess or waste. A person who is
truly refined will not squander or
needIcssIy consume anything. Re
tinement on the contrary is always
allied to simplicity and a judicious
and tasteful employment of the means
of the good and happiness which it
has at command. 1t seeks to divest
itself of superauities, and aspires
continually to the utmost possible
purity. Refinement leads to person
al cleanliness and elegant neatness,
good taste and simplicity in dress. -
All loneliness" or bashiness is repug
nant to its spirit. In its home and
surroundings, the same chastness and
natural grace are maintained. The
abode of genuine refinement, and
mere pretender to it, are very differ
ent. In the former you will find no
excess, gaudinesS, or false glittering,
but the latter abounds in it, In per-
sonal manner, refinement is most
conspicuous. A man of refinement
is always polite without effeminacy,
and considerate without stiffness
Display and ceremony are identical
without refinement like that of the
heart, which impels its possessor to
show on all occasions a thoughtful
regard for the feelings of others
No adherence to etiquette can com>
pare with it for the spontaneous ob-
servance of true aud gratifying POI
likeness.

DO Ir Now.-Don't live a single
hour of you life without doing ex-
actly what is to be done in it, aud
going straight through it from begin~
ming to end. Work, play, study,
whatever it is--take hold at once,
and finish it up squarely and clean-
Iy; and then attend to the next
without letting any moments drop
out between. 1t is wonderful to see
how many hours prompt people con
trive to make of day; it is as If
they picked up the moments that
the dawdlers lost. And if ever you
find yourself where you have SO
many things pressing you that you
hardly know how to begin, take
hold Of the very first one that comes
to hand, and you will find the rest
all fall into file and follow after like
company of we'll drilled soldiers,
and though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in a squad, it
is easily vanquished il you can bring
it into line. You may have often
seen the anecdote of the man who
was asked how he accomplished SO
much in his life. "My father taught
me-" was the reply, "when | had
anything to do, to go and do t.
There is the secret-the magic word

MORTON AND TIE HAMBURG RIoI

MORTON AND TIE HAMBURG RIOT.
Senator Morton, it is said, will
call for a committee to investigate
the recent riot at Hamburg, in South
Carolina. There is, says the Cour
ier>Journal, quite as much reason to
send Congressional committee to
Newark, N. j., to investigate the
slaughter of seven white men during
desperate riot which occurred
there the other day. That bloody
tragedy Morton ignores. 1t occurs
red in a Northern State, where he
claims that 'law and order" always
exist. In his zeal for the protec
ton of "human rights" Morton
should give his attention to the
alarm which exists in Iowa, where
tramps are roaming about the coun
try in bands one thousand strong,
boarding railroad trains, bullying
the farmers through the country,
and stealing whatever they can lay
their hands on. These are desper,
ate men who would not hesitate to
commit murder if it was necessary
to obtain plumber. Iowa, however,

a certain spot, where, they stated,
money had been buried fourteen
years ago. DR.. Corse allowed them
the privilege, and after some little

of directions, drawing lines from diff

servations, they commenced to Dig

eighteen inches and removing a very
heavy stone, they drew out a large
pot, as much as two of them could
carry, but as the Doctor was called
out he did not have any opportunity
to see it's contents or to know the
value of the prize. They put two
small boxes in the hole and filled it
up, saying to one of the servants
that they would return q three
weeks. after which they dstve off in
the direction of Baltimore. The
next day they returned, bringing in

the past one hundred years. At the
