4 Right Pert old Lady.

An Old Settlers Reunion in Missouri has drawn forth a letter from the second female child born in Kentucky, now little over 100 years of age. The writer is Mrs. Elizabeth Pope. Her father was one of the pioneers under Daniel Boone, and with him crossed the Kentucky river at Boonesboro, travelling in the di- rection of what is now Frankfort.
 Mrs. Pope knew the Lincoln fa- mily during their residence in Kentucky, and frequently nursed the future President in his infan- cy. She says that he was not then then anything to be proud of, as little Abe was ''simply a baby, and a terribly ugly one at that" Mrs. Pope is still vigor- ous; uses no spectacles; can knit three pairs of stockings in week ; has lately walked half a mile and back, without stopping; has had ten children and siXty-odd grand children; hopes to go to the Cen.
 tennial; and, altogether, is a re- markabIe welI-preserved old lady.

Twv Assuagers.

Nothing like time and travel as assuagers. A New York friend having business that called him to San Francisco, mentioned his intended departure to brother who said:
 "When do you start?"
 "TO- morrow afternoon"
 "Well, I wish you would stop at the St. Nicholas, and let me introduce you to a pretty, little California widow, who arrived yesterday from Havre. with the body of her husband, who died a couple of weeks ago in Paris"
 "Guess not" replied our friend. "Don't think a fresh widow with a husbands body in baggage car would be very pleasant com pany. She must be very sad."
 "Oh, not @ bit of it, my dear fellow; she's one 0f the HUeliest Little things yOu eUeT s0lU !'
 He was introduced. He said it was pleasant trip.

Promptitude of Newspaper Debtors
From the Findley Currier.

Last week @ man stepped up to
 us and said he would pay us every
 cent he owed, if he lived till Sa-
 turday night; we presume that
 man died. Another said he would
 pay us in a day or two, as sure as
 we were born; query-did that
 man lie, or were we born? An
 other said he would settle his bill
 as sure as shooting; we were led to the conclusion that shooting
 is very uncertain. Quite a num-
 Der said they would see us to-
 morrow; those men have been blind ever since, or else tO-mOr-
 row has not come. One man told
 Us, six months ago, that he would
 pay us as soon as he got some money; that man would not lie, and of course has not had @ cent since.
 But the experience of newspa- pers is about the same all over, says the Fremont Journal. Last year we stopped one mans pa per who owed six dollars. He was serving the public, and we met him while in the discharge of his duties. He averred that as soon as he got through and re- ceived his pay, he would indeed. He told us the same thing this Spring, and we presbme he is still assessing. Another came all the way, five miles to assure us that he was all right, and that we need not be afraid. He would have some money soon, and would | pay-yes he would. Some time | later we saw his money at a dis tance. He was putting it in a bank. It was the last and only glimpse we had of it. He never had. 8 hatchet and ran around hacking cherry trees, or they would have died without know ing who killed them. Another would pay us after sheep shear ing. His sheep are long woOls, and it takes long while for the wool to mature. Another would pay after wheat harvest, but his wheat, like the century plant, is of slow growth, and don't ripen of ten. Another had poor health, but was improving. He would get around soon and raise some money and pay us. He has had a relapse, for though he eats hear ty and works hard, he don't get around worth a cent. We would have some hopes of getting even with such folks some day. when an administrator is appointed, if they had anything to administer on.

ABOUT BOILING EGGs.-Th ere is an objection to the common way of boiling eggs which people do not understand. It is this :- The white under three minutes rapid cooking becomes tough and indigestible while the yOlk is left soft. When properly cooked, eggs are done evenly through like any other food. This result might be attained by putting the eggs into dish with a cover, as a tin pail, and then pouring upon them boiling water, two quarts or more to a dozen eggs, and cover and set them away from the stove for fifteen minutes. The heat of the water cooks the eggs slowly and evenly and to jelly like consistency, leaving the cen ter or yolk harder than the white, and the egg tastes as much nicer and richer as a fresh egg is nicer than a stale egg, and no person
 will want to eat them boiled after having tried this method once.

THE SMACK IN SCHOOL.

A district school, not for away,
 Mid Berkshire hills. one winters day
 Was humming with its wonted noise
 With three-score mingled girls and boys
 Some few upon their tasks intent.
 But more on furtive mischief bent;
 The while the masters downward look
 Was fastened on a copy book;
 When suddenly, behind his back,
 Rose sharp and clear rouslng smack AS 'twere battery of bliss
 Let of in one tremendous kiss What's that" the startled master cries; "That, thir," little imp replies, "Was William Willith, if you pleathe- I saw him kith Thuthannah Peathe !'' With frown to make statue thrill, The master thundered, "Hither Will" Like wretch o'ertaken in his track, With stolen chattles on his back,
 Will hung his head in fear and shame, And to the awful presence came A great, green, bashful simpletoD, The butt of all good natured fun With smile suppressed and birch upraised, The threatener faltered-'1'm amazed That you, my biggest pupil, should Be guilty of an act so rude! Before the whole set school to boot What evil genius put you to't?' '' Twas she. herself. sir" sobbed the lad, II didn't mean to be SO bad But when Susannah shook her curls, And whispered 1 was 'fraid of girls, And dursn't kiss baby's doll.

Confessed too Soon.

A remarkable instance of death
 bed repentance has just occurred
 in Butler county, Ky. A man
 who has been very ill, confident
 that his last hour was fast ap-
 preaching, sent for a magistrate and made a confession that in the year 1870 he had murdered a man
 named Charles Mitchell, on Green River. His story was that dur ing the war he and Mitchell had robbed man named Davenport, in Warren county, and that in the division of the spells Mitchell had taken more than his share. In revenge, the salf-confessed murderer, watched his victim for ten years with the purpose of kill ing him, and at last, when fa- vorable opportunity presented it. self, he shot him through the heart. Mitchell, when shot, was on barge, and his body fell into the river. It was never found, and though suspicious of foul play were entertained, there was no proof even of his death. The man who fired the fatal shot, having eased his conscience by confession, immediately began to get better and now promises to regain his health entirely. In the meantime the officers of the law are preparing to arrest and prosecute him whenever he has recovered sufficiently to be safely from his bed.
