Suicide at Alma.

We have to chronicle the suicide of Jack
Chambers at Alma, on Wednesday of last
werk. Jack WAS well-known to our citizens
and, when not under the influence of liquor
was peaceabe citizen. 1t seems that he
had come to Alma and was drinking, and
hanging about saloon In the town. the keep
er OF which had dropped of to sleep. Jack
took the occasion TO appropriate the contents
Of the money drawer. The keeper Of the sa-
loon' on awaking and finding the till empty
suspected Jack, had him arrested and searched
and found the money In his possession. Jack
was put In confinement waiting to be brought
to Van Buren. While alone he took piece
Of glass bottle, and cut the artery of his
arm, and when discovered, had nearly bled to
death. An attempt was made to save his life.
by stopping the flow Of blood; but he fought
and tore Off the bsndages as fast as they could
beapplied, and finally accomplished the end
he sought--death. He has been resident of
the county for four or five years, and we
think he was from Illinois.

1t is said that figures won't lie; but the
figures of some women are very deceptive

The greatest man is he who chooses
right with the most invincible resolution
who resists the sorest temptation from

lest burdens cheerfully; who is Gaines,

aces and frowns; whose reliance on truth
on virtue and on God is most unfaltcr-

The only passion which age does no
blunt is avarice, and which the Longer

WHAT ENERGY WILL Do.--At the out.
break of the war, German who could
hardly speak English volunteered in a
Southern Battery. He was true as steel
throughout the desperate struggle. At
its close without dollar in his pocket
he married a real help mate and began
life ON rented farm Of rather poor land.
He made excellent crops every year aud
now mas an excellent Mrm or his own
with every comfort around it. He has
more conveniences and labor saving ap-
pliences than many wealthy farmers have,
and is ready to help with hand and purse
in every good enterprise.
This is no fancy picture, but the sober
truth, as the people of CASTOR, who know
Mr. A. Farley can testify.
What different country we would
have, if all young men would show the
pluck and energy shown by this man.
How many idle away their time abou.
stores and crossroads complaining that
the freedmen will not work, instead Of ta-
king hold themselves. How many are
running to town to get into little piddling
unmanly employments,t instead Of bat
tling manfully. on their farms. If the
Grange does no other good than to make
farmers respect their calling, it will &C
complish mighty work. The success
of man without means on rented land
shows what might be done by the own
ers of the soil with the right pluck and
spirit.

The Piper and the Lord.

Once when Victoria was at Balmoral
with her retinuc of lords and ladies', her
musicians and her grooms, . neighbor-
ing noblenan. not remarkable for his
depth OF mind, came to see the royal pa.
geant. His Scottish ear was charmed
anew with the music squeezed out Of the
bagpipcs by the royal piper, and he re-.
solved to add such q charm to his castle.
Taking with him his attendants, and
putting on pompous airs Of great man
toward an inferior. he approached the pi.
per, who was prouder of his victory over
that doleful windbag than eve, Alexan.
der was of his conquests, aud addressed
him thus:
"My good man, like your pipes, and
the music you make on them; and I've
resolved to have pipep ofmy own "
"Well sir I" asked the naughty II ,lus,
in tone which ment, "What do | care
if you have.
~ came to ask ifyou can get piper
tor me ?" continued the lord.
"I can sir IA score OF them. II you
like. What kind ofa piper do you want ?"
Il want just such piper as yourself! |"
exclaimed the lord, with the air of man
who felt that he had bestowed a grea,
boon on an humble person,
This was too much for the pride of the
piper, and drawing himself up to his
greatest height, he roared out, in y con.
temptuous tone:
"That, my lord, l canna do--for while
lords like ye are plenty, pipers like IN,
are vera scarce"
The lori walked away, not little crest
fallen, and understanding the reproof to
be: A humble man at the hesd or his
profession is of moie worth than no.
BILE at the foot of the line A cobbler
who mends shoe well ia a more valua.
BILE man to the world than a ship builder
who through carelessness or incolnpeten.
cy sends a ship TO sea with imperfect ma
chinery. The ditcher who drains worth
less swamp that it may yield seed to the
sower and bread to the reaper is worth
much more to his fellowmen than the
lawyer by his unwse connsels complica

worse. Whstever we do let us do it
well, and try to stand first In our line Of
labor.
