Remarkable sesS-sserf6ee.

This (says the Boston Giobe) is the
true story. The happy circumstance
occurred on last Sunday evening. He
escorted her to and from church, and
upon arriving at her home their dis
cutsion Of the sermon and the ex-
treme heat suggested an invitation,
readily accepted by Charles, that they
step into the house and partake Of
cooling glass Of lemonade. She led
him to the dining-room, and there
fund naughty Ben about to squeeze
the last lemon In the house for his
own individual benefit. Calling him
aside, she induced Ben, by means Of
sundry threats and promises, to dis
sect that lemon and make Charlie and
herself a glass. A selfsacrifcing
thought struck her! "No, Ben,' said
she, put the juice Of the whole lem
on into Charles glass, and bring me
glass Of water. He won't notice it
there's no light in the parlorl" Ben
was making one good, strong lemon
ade, as directed. when Charlie quietly
slipped out and remarked: 81 say Ben!
put the juice of your entire lemon in
your sisters glass and bring me glass
Of water-there is no light in the par
lor, and she won't notice III" Ben's
forte is in obeying orders. With a
merry twinkle in his eye, he drank
his lemonade. then carried each of
them a glass of water, which they
drank with much apparent relish, ask
ing each other between sips "ii it was
sweet enough!' And naughty broth
er Ben, with the taste of that lemon
ade in his mouth, stood out in the
hall and laughed till his sides ached,
to hear them assure each other that it
was "just right" $50 palatable and
so refreshingl'

the gas ignited and slight explosion
followed. In a portion Of the stream
small flames sprang up. Since that

the area has increased until now the

shall We Hare Prosperity ,

There are $4,000, 900 working peo-
pie in the United States. One third
Of these are out Of employment, and
unless We have some change in the
financial policy of the government,
they will remain out Of employment
a tax upon the body polite and an in
cumbrance upon the producers OF the
country. In France, where the Gov
ernment's paper is made as good as
gold, every laborer is employed, and
great prosperity is enjoyed. The war
debt to Germany has been paid, and
her own war debt has been nearly ex.
tinguished, and no panics or depres-
sions have been experienced. In Ger
many, where gold is made the circu.
lating medium, hard times, depression,
and lack of employment exists. And
with these facts before every well in
formed man, q portion of our people
and especially our money centres
insist we shall pattern after depressed
Germany instead of prosperous France.
But we hope the second sober thought
will come over the moneyed men Of
the East, and their few followers in
the West, and that the Governments
paper will be made as good as gold, so
that industry may revive and pros
perity again be enjoyed Rural

Mr.. William Powrie, Of Sussex,
gives US the particulars Of a dastardly
attempt TO outrage q young lady In
the town Of Lisbon, near Sussex, last
week, Friday. It appears that, on the
day mentioned, the family Of Mr.. j.
r. Weaver had left his residence, with
the exception Of his daughter, aged is
years, and she was arranging her toilet
about I p. NJ, with the intention Of
making a visit TO the village. During
this time, and while facing the mirror,
she saw the shadow Of man climbing
a fence near the house and in front Of
the door, which was open. As stran-
gers are frequently passing that way,
nothing was thought Of the incident
but shortly after the young lady dis.
covered the man standing in the room,
only q few feet from her. When he
saw that his presence was known he
addressed her with, GOOD afternoon,
Miss; you sre all alone. are you 2
She replied that it was none Of his
business whether she was alone or not"
He then said that che had come to
keep her company during the after
noon," and he stepped to q bedroom
door and told her to enter this she
declined to do, and start
ed to run from the house. He followed
her into the kitchen, and attempted to
drag her back To the bedroom, but she
escaped from his grasp, and, seeing
some fiat-irons upon the stove, she
seized one and hurled it, striking the
man ON the leg and bringing him to
his knees. Seeing her advantage, she
continued to hurl Astirons until six
had been thrown, five Of which proved
effective. She then took q mop which
luckily was near by, and began to
pummel her would-be destroyer over
the head. The woman and mop were
too many for him, 50 he reasoned that
discretion was the better part Of valor
and made precipitate retreat, leaving
the brave girl in full possession Of the
house. An attempt has been made to
capture this dangerous tramp, a
description Of whom is in
possession of the sheriff, but thus far
success has not crowned the effort.
